Hallo,
I work with a MSI KT4V Board, AMD Athlon XP 1500+ CPU, 1 MB RAM,
sufficiend HD-space and XP professional with SP1a. For a driver-setup
of my NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 I had first to deinstall the installed
drivers. After deinstalling I wasn't able to reinstall the hardware.
With every possible way of installation (old / new version, different
data-sources) I had the 'operation_aborted' 0x03E3 (i.e. 995) Error.
The installation-routine doesn't accept any specivic drivers and
installs the standard VGA video controller. Same problem comes when I
try to install my new Audigy2 sound card. I didn't find any help in
the net! I'm struggeling with this problem now since over a month and
I have no ideas left beside reinstalling the bloody computer from the
very beginning. I'd hate it. Maybe one of You fellows has an idea???
Would make You a good friend in Germany! cu Dieter |

Hi,
Could you please tell us what happened before the problem started?
How did you uninstall the drivers (your procedure) and if possible,
the reason why you uninstalled the drivers so we can get a better
picture of the situation.

Error code 0x03E3 means "The I/O operation has been aborted because of
either a thread exit or an application request."
Reference:

Could you please tell us your operating system?
Did you reboot first before installing the driver/s?
It would be helpful if you could can share more info regarding the problem.

Hallo Feilong,
in the infos on the update-procedure the NVIDIA-site gave the advice,
first to deinstall all the old drivers of the grafic-card befor
installing the new drivers. Therefore I totally deinstalled the
NVIDIA-card in the hardware-device manager (You know: right-click on
workplace icon, properties, hardware, hardware manager). Before that
the NVIDIA-card made no problems at all. Nevertheless I thougt an
update might be a good idea.
Two days before that, I experienced a similar situation with my
Audigy2 soundcard. But then I was able to install my old Soundblaster
value live card without any problems afterwards, Therfore I thought,
the Audigy2 was defect and blamed the installation problems on the
Audigy2. Now I know better!
I trust in You!! For the moment its all, I can do!

Hallo Feilog,
I work with Windows XP professional and SP1a.
Yes, I rebooted the system almost everytime I tried a new installation.
The popup window, that appeared, when the installation quits (in the
very moment, when the green stripe starts growing with the
installation progress) shows the German equivalent to the
ERROR-message 0x03E3. But that doen't mean anything to me. It's no
help at all!

Hi Dgrossman,
Thanks for your reply. Based on what you said, I now understand that
the problem started due to the incorrect way you uninstalled the
NVIDIA driver. Your old NVIDIA driver was installed using an installer
or a "setup.exe" program. Therefore, the correct way to uninstall it
is through the "Add/Remove Programs" in your Control Panel -- not by
deleting the driver directly in the hardware manager.
Here are some possible solutions to your problem. Please read/apply
the following instructions carefully:
First of all, MAKE SURE that all connections (peripheral cards, etc.)
are properly and securely seated in their respective slots, sockets,
etc.
Go to the "Add/Remove Programs" in your Control Panel and uninstall
the old driver if it is still there. Once uninstalled, restart your
system and install the new driver.
If you can't uninstall it, try to reinstall the old driver using its
setup program, reboot if necessary, and uninstall it properly through
the "Add/Remove Programs". After uninstalling it, you can then install
the new driver for your NVIDIA card -- again, using its own setup
program.
OR
If you can remember the date when your system was fine, you can try to
restore it. Windows XP has a feature called system restore and you may
have a chance to restore your system back to when eveything was fine.
But please make sure that when you restore, select the restore point
that is AFTER you changed your Audigy driver because you said that
this problem happened two days before the NVIDIA problem. Below are
links to instructions on how to do a System Restore:
Microsoft Corporation
"Use System Restore to Undo Changes if Problems Occur"
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/pro/using/howto/gethelp/systemrestore.asp
The Elder Geek
"System Restore"
http://www.theeldergeek.com/system_restore.htm
By the way, please tell us teh brand and memory size of your video
card so we can check for the correct driver for your card.
If any of the given suggestions above work, you can apply the same
principle to Audigy if you really want it back in your system. I now
trust in you to tell us if the problem is solved. Thank you Dieter.
Regards,
Feilong
