Sprint Novatel Merlin C201 card error during installation

[Guest]

Windows Vista build 5600 is detecting the card and downloading the drivers
from Windows Updates but during the driver installation it gives the
following error message:

WindowsUpdate_80070005 WindowsUpdate_dt000
or
WindowsUpdate_800F0217 WindowsUpdate_dt000

Neither of which return any information when searching the knowledge base.

If I try to manually install the driver that Windows has downloaded (which
is the same driver I received from the manufacturer) I get the following
error message:

Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while
attempting to install it.
Novatel Wireless CDMA 1.9GHz Modem Parent
*A service installation section in this INF is invalid.*

does anyone have a work-around for this?

I am using a Realtek RTL8111B network adapter and it worked fine under Windows XP. In the same hardware system, but under Windows Vista Home
Premium 64 (a new, 'clean' installation) I can not install the driver, system returns an error message:

"Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it

Realtek 8111 Gigabit Ethernet NIC

The system cannot find the file specified."

What file?? I have downloaded latest (signed!) drivers from Realtek website and in the
installation directory I have following files:

netrtx64.cat
netrtx64.INF
rtlh64.sys

Neither automatic, nor manual installation does not work, I am receiving the same error message and the adapter does not work. What else can I do? Something is wrong in the INF file?

Try using the Auto installation download (Version 6.190)(the inf file does
appear to be for your NIC model), found here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads...n=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false&Downloads=true

And remove the present driver in Device Manger before installation (if there
is one). Windows might jump in and install something (Found new
Hardware...), but don't allow it if given the option. If not, it should be
ok anyway. The new installer should remove whatever previous drive is shown
in Device Manger.
