Please Help! ''Cant find registry Value...''

Okay, to the point:

Bought BT Broadband. Got the welcome package, everything is fine.

All set up, the BT Voyager 205 router/modem is all set up.

All BT software installed, broswer etc etc.

BUT

The Modem/router drivers are not installing, and so it wont connect to the internet.

I used a dial up connection to download the latest drivers for my modem/router. I ran the setup.exe, and this is the EXACT message windows comes up with.

Error:
Can't get registry value:
key=Software\BT Voyager 205 ADSL Router\ADSL
value=driverType

Then I have to press OK and nothing happens.

Also, when I try to UNinstall my old BT Voyager 105 Modem, this comes up:

Error:
Can't get regisrty value:
Key=software\GlobespanVirata\ADSL
value=srcPath

I click OK and nothing happens. Untill I install this driver, I cant use my new broadband, And I have 2 hours to fix this before my mums home and kicks my ***, but thats another story.

HELP!

I have Windows XP.

If you connect with Ethernet, there's no reason to load any drivers.
