Webuser Forums: "code 39" hell!!!!!!

hi there people im new to all this but i hope you can help me.

i have a "acer aspire AMD pc" and im running windows xp, but since the comp is about 8years old it only has a dial up connection in the back of the tower so i went on to ebay and bought an ethernet connection so i could hook my comp up to my router. the ethernet connection is a "TP-LINK gigabit ethernet adapter" model no: "TG-3269".
so i followed the instructions on how to connect it into my comp and did so bye the book, when it came to installing the driver then i got this message> "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)"

i have tried reinstalling my windows to no avail, then i searched on the internet at my mates house and read that code 39 is a registry problem so i bought "regcure", "registry smart" and "registry mechanic" to clean up my registry. i ran all 3 cleaners and rebooted my comp to try instalation again but no avail AGAIN. I have formatted my hd 11times now and am getting annoyed with the same msg appearing every time i try to install the driver, can anybody help me please????
