Solve : PCI without drivers--code 28 and code 1?

1.	Solve : PCI without drivers--code 28 and code 1?
Answer» I can't get the drivers for my PCI Device installed. I'm running Windows 2000 professional edition. I have the drivers on my desktop--the Creative Soundblaster AudioPCI diagnostics, and "Audio: Analog Devices AD1885 Integrated Audio version A19." I was originally getting a code 28 on the PCI, "drivers not installed." So I followed the directions on the Microsoft site and uninstalled, then REINSTALLED the PCI. Now I'm getting code 1, "the device is not configured correctly." I KNOW where in my SYSTEM--or I think I do--the driver is, but whenever I use the hardware wizard, it tells me there aren't any drivers in that location.
