While Windows is running, insert your Leopard DVD or Snow Leopard DVD and the driver installation will start automatically. The ethernet drivers for Windows will install along with other drivers if they are needed.

You downloaded the wrong Boot Camp 2.1. This is the one you want. Link

Also, I suggest you round up your original Leopard Disk or purchase a copy of Snow Leopard.

In Windows go to Control Panel, System, Hardware Devices. Open the hardware tree. Highlight your sound card, right click, and select properties.
(The sound card may have an exclamation mark over it ! indicating it's not working right)

Then select the tab that says "update driver". Let it go on the net and find the right driver for you. Or, again in the hardware tree, you can remove the sound card device, and restart Windows. The sound card will be detected and installed. You may be able to install the driver from your Leopard Disk that way.

Regards.

thanks.. problem totally solved.. instead.. i install a driver named Microsoft 'Bus Driver' . for more details , see: Fixing the "Microsoft Bus Driver" error message when installing a RealTek sound card (a download link of KB835221.exe QFE to fix the "Microsoft Bus" error message) Others who have the sound card problem may try this..
after that, i reinstalled the boot camp 2.1 through the leopard disc and restarted windows.. then everthing just worked fine..

Thanks a lot.
