Exclamation Can't Install Video Card Drivers

I am running Windows XP, my motherboard is an ASUS A7A266 with the ALiMAGiK chipset. I just purchased the GeForceFX 5200 and cannot install the drivers...I used to run a Winfast geforce 2 titanium...

I found this entry in Microsoft's help center, and it
identifies the problem I am having and the
cause...however, it is not solving my problem:

------------------------
Following are examples of the type of error message that
you might receive that indicate this problem:

Access is denied.

The data is invalid.
Note: This issue is known to occur with the product
Leadtek WinFast Titanium 200.
CAUSE
The Leadtek driver installation program incorrectly
changes the security attributes for the Enum branch of
the Registry, which is critical for driver installation.
As a result, attempts to install drivers later are not
successful.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior and correct the changes that the
installation program made, use the following command to
run the Pnpreg tool from a command prompt:


Pnpreg -l

The following file is available for download from the
Microsoft Download Center:
Download the the Pnpreg tool package now. Release Date:
Dec 19, 2002
-------------------------------


My only problem now is...i perform this task and i get
another error message: "Windows cannot find 'pnpreg'..."

But i have that file on my computer! Am I supposed to
have it saved in a specific folder? I extracted the file
to its default extraction point...

The last thing i want to do is resort to reformating just
to clear up a registry issue.

Any ideas?

Recently bought a second hand tiny p111 laptop, in the proccess of ripping programmes of and putting new oners on I messed up windows with a software conflict, so reformatted and reinstalled, initially loads of drivers were missing but most were found automatically online, but still the video controller and the modem come up with yellow exclamations, ran everst on the machiene and it came up with sis 315 for the vid controller (ran belarc too just to make sure but it recognised nothing for graphics devices), not too worried about the modem, as I'm on broadband and dinnie need it, but my video's really clunky although it does work, so have downloaded the driver from sis, saved it on the hard drive, coppied it to disc, and tried all manner of installation methods, but it still refuses to install, when doing it through the device manager it searches for a while and says it can't find the right software, when I try and install strait from the download it says it can't find the right driver, I've downloaded it from two seperate site (again just to make sure) but niether haveworked, any ideas anybody?? cheers
