Solve : cannot find 2 drivers for dell dimension 510? |
|
Answer» Everytime I've reformatted my hard DRIVE, I always end up with (2) missing (yellow question marks in device manager), drivers, even after going to the Dell website and downloading every possible driver for Windows XP. for the Dimension 510. The 2 are Universal Serial Bus (usb) Controller and Multimedia Video Controller....once Tom's Hardware found the USB controller driver, but this time I cannot find it or them! Any help will be appreciated. TKOThe USB controller driver will be included in the chipset drivers. If installing the chipset drivers from Dell doesn't work, GRAB them from the Intel website here. Try the EXE file first - if that doesn't work, download the zip file instead, extract it, then right click on the USB controller in device manager, click update driver, and point it to that folder. As for the multimedia video controller, that's most likely a TV card, I see that the 510 had the option of an internal or external card. Have you grabbed the drivers for those off the Dell site? If so, post the ID of the device - you can get that from device manager by going to the device's properties, then Details, then hardware ID.Thanks for the answers; the driver from the Dell site for the TV card did work (I eventually GOT the right one......didn't download it before, as I knew I didn't have any TV connection, however, guess it doesn't have to be a working one, just that there is such a card? The other driver, I found when I remembered that I had installed a 4 port 3.0 USB card, but didn't THINK about re-installing the driver. The driver was available on the web, luckily, as I couldn't find my driver disk, which I must have had when installing. I now have 11 "working" USB ports, with the (4) 3.0 ports! I appreciate your ADVICE! TKOIndeed, as long as the card is plugged in, if it doesn't have a driver installed you will have a yellow triangle next to it - the triangle just warns that the driver is not functioning or is not installed, it doesn't matter if the card is in use or not. Good catch on the USB card, glad to hear it's all up and running now! |
