Recently I have installed AVG FREE on the following system:

DeskPro EN Series K500/10NTL
Windows XP Home Upgrade
30GB Seagate 5400RPM
8MB ATI Rage 2X AGP
Onboard sound
Intel NIC

Whilst installing, I decided to create a recovery disk to see what it would be like.

I clicked next until it had told me that it was creating bootdisk number one. I soon realised that I was going to need many diskettes and cancelled the progress. I then proceeded to update AVG Free without problems.

A while after, I had to reset the computer. And somehow, it managed to detect new hardware. At first I thought there was a problem with my external HDD, but this was not the case. I told it to look online for drivers and found none.

Then suddenly, I realised what it said.



It may be Dutch, but should look similair and familair to everyone using Windows XP.

This was not a problem. I did the Wizard once, completed it and it said the hardware MIGHT not function due to no drivers being found and installed.

I reset my PC again and I NOTICED that the wizard once again popped up. This time I told it that it had not warn me again and so it did. I removed the entry from unknown devices.

I then decided it was time for Judy Collins - Amazing Grace, which truly is a wonderful song, thank you very much Dusty and to my short lasting surprise, I had no sound. I configured Windows sound. Nothing wrong. No hardware conflicts. Nothing.

It took me one reset to determine that the speaker was still functioning (Built-in) due to start up beeps.

It took me another reset to reinstall the ESS 1968 Plug 'n Play soundcard.

Thank you very much for listening. I hope you all enjoyed my STORY as I did my little big adventure.

This anit your pc is it!!!The update wizard if AVG Free is not supposed to be detected as hardware and added to the device manager as an unknown device considering the fact that it is not hardware.

It is actually rather warm over here at the moment, Merlin. And I have no idea who Jullie Garland is, but she isn't getting behind my computer

And yes, this is my PC, I obtained it recently. You may notice the similair HDD specifications. This is because I moved the older HDD from my AMD pc to this Compaq DeskPro. Which originally had a 6GB HDD.

The other PC is still being put together but I need to have my IDE cable questions answered before I want to CONTINUE.
