Installation failure: error code 800F0219

I'm trying to install a driver for a Saitek Gamers' Keyboard that Windows
Update site lists as an update for my hardware, but the driver fails to
install, giving the above error code. I already have all other available
updates installed; this is the last one. Running Windows XP SP2.

Anybody know what's going on? The troubleshooter returns zero results for
this error code, and a google search returns zero pages for this error code
as well. Please help.

TIA

I'm getting the same issue as well - I got an error when I tried to install
the driver that came with the KB - and have found no updates on Saiteks page.
Hopefully they will have an updated driver out soon.

Same thing for me (SP2) but I see everyone posted this in late October.
However, I know what I did to get it not to work! So this might help with
software developers or people who know a lot about computers.

I sucessfully installed it the first time I tried, but after about 2 days
the driver caused errors and stopped responding when I changed the USB port
that I plugged the keyboard into. Now it will not allow me to install it
again. I deleted the INI files associated with the fist install but that
didn't solve the problem (so that the hardward installation wizzard wouldn't
redirect to the failed installs). That didn;t work so I tried unistalling
the device (which ended me in to a safe mode boot since I didn't have a
keyboard detected upon boot). Finally I have given up.

It keeps telling me that the INI file is old and was written for Windows 95
if I leave it there without deleting it. Well Saitek still has nothing on
this product yet for their web site. I love the keyboard but I wish it would
work right. Would be great if someone figured this out.

I have the same problem as everyone else. I am contacting Saitek to find out
what is up. I will write my response as soon as I hear back from Saitek. I
really like this keyboard.
