im not a complete novice so i know to go to computer management for drivers under other devices (with the question mark) i have 3 things:

Ethernet Controller
Multimedia AUDIO controller
PCI Modem

I would like to install the drivers for these three devices, mainly the audio controller, so i can listen to youtube with audio.

THanks,

Re-install your motherboard drivers...
Did you recently re-install Windows ? ?My motherboard drivers are working just fine, but i did recently install windows XP sp2. swiching from linux--too confusing.One thinks..Wow! I could guess which drivers!

Have you ran Everest to see which drivers you need to
download?

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.htmlwow everest is the one solution to all of your driver needs...

IT says:

Intel 82801DB ICH4 - AC'97 Audio Controller [B-0]

I have no clue what that meant... but that was under multimedia-then PCI/PnP Audio.After doing some research I believe the below driver will work.
I used Winrar extracted the files to a folder and they appear
to be what you need.

http://ftp.us.dell.com/audio/R56339.EXEOK it said at the end of the installer (the one where when ur in the web browser and you click install now) it said Driver not found please reboot your system, etc. so i did and it still didnt work...What is that board chipset?
sorry idk what that is In Everest, go Computer>Summary, and paste that info in your next post.FieldValue
