IEEE1394 firewire card install

[Guest]

I have recently purchased and installed IEEE1394 card and have no joy installing drivers.
Computer recognises device but when attempting to install drivers it returns
"This data is invalid" error (code 1)

Its a registry permission prob with XP Brian
To fix this problem, go to Start, Run... and type "REGEDT32.EXE" without the
quotes to run the Registry Editor. Navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ENUM\P CI and you will see a
number of keys of the form "VEN_xxxx", where xxxx are strings like
"1102&DEV_0004&SUBSYS_00011103&REV_04". Under each of these folders will be
another folder with a long numerical name. Open each folder and look for the
"DeviceDesc" which matches the hardware you are trying to install - in this
case "IEEE 1394 controller". HIGHLIGHT THE ENTRY "VEN_xxxx" for that device
and select 'SECURITY'-'PERMISSIONS' FROM THE WINDOW TOP MENU and then tick
"Allow" for "Full Control". Close REGEDT32, reboot, and then do a normal
install. If the install again provides an error message, recheck the
permissons in regedit again. For some reason regedit does not always save
the new permissions
