Philips AE Driver Problem

Just recently bought an AE for my computer to replace my crappy on board sound, and I am having some trouble getting the drivers right.

Running on XP Pro, on a ECS K7S6A Mobo with the on board AC97 Audio Controller, Modem, and Game Port disabled in the bios.

Did all that, then went here: http://www.pcsound.philips.com/english.html# and got the AE XP driver. Unzipped it, and tried to use hardware wizard to install the driver. Well, it stops at the very end of the driver install and wont give me the finish button. The computer freezes and just sits there and you have to hard boot. Anyways, when you do that windows wont load, it just sits on the loading screen until you yet again hard boot and get the selection screen with the restore to last working settings option or you can go into safe mode and try to remove the drivers there, or go to a previous sys checkpoint.

So thats what I have been doing most of the day trying different things. Right now, I have my computer booted normally and the drivers are almost installed. I can see the Philips PSC706 Audio, and the Philips PSC706 Gameport Enumerator. When I go to properties however on the PSC706 Audio it says that there are no drivers installed for this device, but when you go into the driver tab you can see that there is a list of the driver components. So I've been cracking at that with no luck. Tried to reinstall http://www.pcsound.philips.com/english.html#

that XP driver as well as the XP driver from www.philipsusa.com

But I cannot get either to finish the driver install. It always freezes on the last 2 or 3 files. Sometimes its the "PSEULA.txt" and another time it's "avenger.chm".

Not quite sure what else to try. It's in PCI slot 2 so that shouldn't be a problem but I'm going to try a slot further down.

Crazy
 
Can you uninstall the SiS (assuming that's what it is, since it's an ECS board) sound from within Windows? If you can, do that, then jump into BIOS on reboot and disable the onboard sound and give the new drivers for your new card a try. Might work. No promises, just a guess.
