1.	Solve : Windows XP Sp2 3drivers gone?
Answer» Hi guys, I haven't been here for a while because you fixed me up so well last time; thanks again. I have a Presario SR1911x, Athilon 64 proc.64, 512 mem. 200gb. After installing avg 8 I started having apps. that wouldn't, had to uninstall and reinstall IE7, lost 3 drivers. One was my dvd driver and I had a few files and pics that weren't backed up. I was able to move all my personal files to a flash drive so all is not lost. I am trying to stay away from the recovery console. I am unable to make a recovery disc because of no driver. My question is- is there a way to use a flash drive instead of a dvd to make an install disc. If not I will have to order one from HP, or use the console. Any information will be greatly appreciated. After I uninstalled avg8 none of my spyware WORKED, tray app is spotty. I had run spyware and VIRUS full scans just before installing avg8 and was all clear. I can still get on line so there is no big hurry. I would suggest that everyone have a backup browser for times like these. I like FlashPeak Slim Browser. Thanks guys.yes it is possible. see this link for full details. http://www.bootdisk.com/pendrive.htmWindows XP doesn't NEED any special driver for DVD drive. I'm not sure from your post, what is actually NOT working on your COMPUTER?Hey Broni, it started out with no sound; no device driver. I have all the drivers downloaded in a file from the last sound problem I had caused by a windows update. I have tried to install the drivers several times including safe MODE and all I can get is installation failed, access denied, code 28, code32. I thought these drivers in the file might have been corrupted so I redownloaded drivers from HP and got the same results. I contacted HP and was told to use to use system recovery. My pc will not acknowledge that there is a disk in the drive so I can't make a recovery disk. I was able to save my personal files to a flash drive. Missing drivers are Realtek hd audio, TSSTCorp CD/DVD Ts H552L, Audio device on HD audio bus. Thank you for your time. Quote I contacted HP and was told to use to use system recovery. HP is probably thinking, that they are the only people on entire planet, who know about system recovery. This is just ridiculous. BTW, normally, HP should send you those disks for free. Call them back. No matter what happens, it's a good idea to have them. At the meantime... Did you uninstall current audio driver (working, or not) before trying to install new one. When you put, say music CD into the drive, is the drive listed in Windows Explorer, and can you see files on CD? Can you hear CD spinning? If you can see files, when double click on any file, does any music player open?Also you can right clik the drive in Control Panel/System/Device Manager and select remove/uninstall and re-boot... Windows will automatically re-install the device. But i highly suggest you follow Broni's advice above.....Hi Patio, I've already tried that, access denied ect. I have learned from experience to follow Broni's advise and it usually works very well. Thanks for your input. Also I would like to say that I have a new respect for the people that post on this forum. So many other places contain post from people who just want a quick fix without ever finding the cause of the problem; nor accepting responsibility for their problem. The people who posy here seem to want to know what caused the problem and how to insure that it won't happen again; taking responsibility for and with their own actions. I really appreciate all of you who help. Thank you for your responsibility and your integrity. I hope that everyone has a great holiday.We're glad to help, whenever we can hey roy48 pay well attention to any of broni instructions. Also Ive been thinking that you might need to first check for the mainboard drivers for an update. Patience is a great key for solutions so enjoy the summer and WAIT for more instructions.

HP is probably thinking, that they are the only people on entire planet, who know about system recovery. This is just ridiculous.
BTW, normally, HP should send you those disks for free. Call them back. No matter what happens, it's a good idea to have them.

At the meantime...
Did you uninstall current audio driver (working, or not) before trying to install new one.
When you put, say music CD into the drive, is the drive listed in Windows Explorer, and can you see files on CD?
Can you hear CD spinning?

Windows will automatically re-install the device.
