Realtek HD Audio Driver installation issues

[ps-gunkie]

Hi, I just installed XP SP2 on this computer 2 days ago, I installed my
Realtek Drivers, and they worked fine, I installed nVidia drivers, and those
didn't work, forcing me to re-install. I re-installed, installed nVidia
drivers, they're working fine... I installed Realtek drivers and they don't!

Every time I try to install them I get an error message saying 'Install
Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure !!'. I tried installing several versions of
the driver, but all give the same result. When I go to Device Manager it
tells me that there's an error because there's a problem with the drivers. I
tried updating them through device manager, didn't work, tried uninstalling
the drivers, didn't work either, because it tells me they might be needed to
boot... Can anyone help me?

I would talk to both realtek and nvida and see if there was a known issue
with driver conflicts, if make them aware, I would also try older drivers for
both hardware items and see if that made a difference

Well, I have tried the original nVidia drivers that came with the computer,
and the new ones. For the Realtek I tried the original ones as well, and also
2 older versions, all give the same problem. The weird thing is, on my Vista
partition (using an XP - Vista dual-boot) everything works fine... I will be
contacting them about this after I try one more time (re-installing again).
Anyway, thanks for the reply .

Oh right, is there a way to remove the Realtek drivers or uninstall the whole
thing without using Device Manager? When I click on any of the options in the
drivers tab I get either an error message or just nothing happens. When I try
to uninstall it, I get an error saying I can't uninstall it because it might
be needed to boot...
Some treads I have read about problems similar to this one talked about
uninstalling it in the BIOS, but I don't know how to, I've got no experience
with this at all =/.

Ok, re-installing and installing drivers before installing all of the updates
worked... Hope it'll still work after the updates :/.
