I just did a complete reinstall of my operating system and am trying to figure out which drivers to reinstall. I am running with windows XP SP2. My computer is a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4054. The list of drivers can be found here:

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1372980&rpn=PSAA8U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=1073768663

There are numerous drivers and I am not EXACTLY sure which are needed. I installed the network driver and got my wireless internet working. I am also in the process of installing the sound driver. However, nothing else works. I can't watch DVD's ETC. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Go to "Device Manager" and see which hardware you have. Anything needing a driver update will have a yellow exclamation point on it.The yellow exclamation is next to

Ethernet Controller
Mass storage controller
Modem Device on HIgh def Audio Bus
SM Bus Controller
Video Controller
Video controller (VGA compatible)

any help on to which drivers these are.Update your chipset (INF update utility) first. That should take care of most of your problems. After you do that it looks like you will also need the Intel Pro 10/100 Model Driver. Post back with whatever is left.Install the chipset driver for your system.I installed the most recent chipset(INF Utility Update)

Now the yellow exclamation is only by:

Ethernet Controller
Mass Storage Controller
Modem Device on High Definition Audio Bus

Despite this my computer appears to be working great. I can access the internet, browse the web, listen to music, open files, etc...

...I couldn't find the intel pro 10/100 model driver, but I found something similar. However, it appeared to be a network driver. I imagined this has to do with the internet(I could very well be wrong) and sense my internet is working fine, I'm not sure why I'd need another network driver.

The only noticeable problem is that I can't play DVDs. When I open them with Windows Media Player I get this error message. "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

I went to the toshiba site in my OP and downloaded all of the display drivers, but this didn't fix it.

Thanks to everyone that has helped. Anything else that you have to offer would be greatly appreciated. On the Toshiba page narrow your search using Windows XP SP2 and LAN to find the Intel Pro 10/100, It should be at the top of the list.
You also need to narrow the search to Modem and get the "Toshiba Software Modem Driver"
You also need the "Texas Instruments...." under Flash MEMORY I think.
For the DVD problem try the "DVD RAM driver" under DVD-ROM.Accidentally deleted original post. Sorry.Laptop drivers should always come from the laptop manuf. site.As Patio has already stated the chipset driver from the Toshiba site should be the best. I was having a hard time finding it there so I sent you to Intel. What I see at Toshiba (Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility) appears to be the same thing you already received from intel but I could be wrong.Thank you all for your help. I am almost there. Only two problems remain.

1. All of the yellow exclamation points are gone except the one by Ethernet Controller. This is surely stemming from my inability to run the Intel Pro 10/100. When I download it and unzip it nothing happens (every other driver I have unzipped has automatically booted into an install program). This one does nothing, so I went into its folder and tried to find some sort of setup icon, but nothing was there. There were two .din ICONS in that file, but my computer is unable to read them. That might not be relevant though.

2. DVD Playback is unavailable. I downloaded the DVD-RAM Driver from toshiba and it did nothing. it still says

"Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because a compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

I have found a couple DVD decoder programs for $20 on the internet, but am wondering if I can get my DVD playback restored for free.

I hope someone can HELP me with this,i was having problems with my computer (windows xp home edition) and so my daughter cleared everything out and started it afresh with xp pro.Now i'm having a problem with (video controller vga compatible).In device manager i have a yellow ? mark,and when i click on it to update driver it says no driver can be found.I only found this problem because everytime i logged on i was getting a balloon telling me new hardware found and to insert disc.I have got to be honest i'm not very tech MINDED,so i would be very gratefull of any help.Did you go to your computer manufacturer site to get new video driver?No,it was made by Time who are now defunked,i did put the original driver disc in but it said it couldn't find hardware.Download System Information for Windows: http://www.gtopala.com/siw-download.html to your Desktop.

My graphic card path is in win32. Is that my computer infected by virus?

Error ALWAYS CAUSE by nv4_disp which shut down my computer AUTOMATICALLY if the failure occur.

Im USING ASUS EN8500GT Silent Magic graphic card...We're GOING to need more information.Thanks... I had solved it...

The graphic card driver needed to be re-new...Phew....glad yer fixed up...

I have no idea why I got this.  I ran the chkdsk utility and it says it is deleting CORRUPT attribute records but then I keep getting this message while on Safari.  What do I do now?Go to Start/Run and type in sfc /scannow and hit Enter...
Have your WINDOWS CD handy...it will ask for it.
Let it finish...remove the CD and re-boot.That worked!  Thank you.  Is there something I did, that caused that?

I do have one other problem-

Every  time I reboot I get an error that says my SQL SERVER installation is either corrupt or has been tampered with.  How do I fix that?  I assume it was on my Windows XP disc, when it was originally installed.

Thanks again

Hello, new here, but thats not what matters.
Not sure if this belongs in this sub-forum.
Well suddenly my laptop screen went black and white.
When it starts up it aint black and white, only till the windows logo, first black and white then it goes color, till i logon to my computer, then it goes black and white agian, it is in all games.
I got a IDEA that it could be the driver, but i aint sure.
Since when i pressed the update BUTTON, it went over to a other driver.
VGA, something. And then there were color, did not go black and white.
But as i USE the Nvidia drivers it goes black and white.

Info on my computer:
Windows Vista 32-bit
Nvidia 8600M GT
It is made by MSI
2 GB Ram
280 GB Hard disk

Using Bullguard as antispy and antivirus.

Hope i can get some help.Go to the website of your laptop manufacturer and download and install the current driver for your video card. On a side note, I never heard of Bullguard. Quote from: Allan on January 20, 2010, 07:48:38 AM

Go to the website of your laptop manufacturer and download and install the current driver for your video card. On a side note, I never heard of Bullguard.

As a rule of thumb and for future reference...when it comes to laptops Drivers should always come from the laptop manuf. site.
This is because they submit specs they want to component manuf. and then Author the drivers for those components themselves...

Desktop machines you can go at component level and they should be fine.

Hi.

Using XP service pack 2.  The CDROM DRIVE I have is JLMS XJ-HD1665.

I was having issues with my CDROM drive, so uninstalled the driver software and restarted the machine, hoping it would re-install and everything would be fine.  However, the CDROM drive is now unavailable and a drive labled K: has appeared at the BOTTOM of the my computer window.  K: appears to have all the functionality of the CDROM drive.

Just wondering if anyone knows how I can get rid of this K: drive and make the CDROM drive icon WORK again.

Cheers, guys.

FeenixOptical drives have not needed drivers since WinME...
Right clik the K drive and SELECT Remove/Uninstall...and re-boot,Since CD-ROMs don't have, or need "drivers" in Windows XP, I am wondering what this person actually uninstalled...

Hi all,

I just updated the award bios due to a virus. the update bar indicated all but 2 blocks were updated. I wonder if a trace of the virus has been left behind.

This is a garage desktop computer where it gets around 50 degrees at night. In the morning I have to reboot 2 or 3 times to get beyond the black screen. I wonder if that might be the problem?

I deleted and updated the mbr in the hhd, formatted same, updated bios, and reenstalled os.

win xp home, ecs 848p mb, 1gig memory, ati 9000 video card, broadcom wireless card, nothing fancy.
 any help or info is appreciatedI really, really don't understand your post.

You updated the bios due to a virus? Please explain what that means.

All but two blocks were updates? Either the bios flash worked or it did not. And the virus (unless it is the VERY rare BOOT sector type of virus) would have absolutely no effect on a bios update.

Computers work just fine at 50 degrees (fahrenheit)

You deleted the mbr? Then updated the bios again?? Reinstalled the OS - so is it working or not?

Is there a question here somewhere?That’s right, a temperature of 50 ̊ F should be well within the normal range of any desktop computer.
Yet for some reason I have noticed problems sometimes with older computers if they are too cold. Don’t know why.
If your BIOS flash was interrupted in anyway you will need a motherboard, or if it has a LIF(Low Insertion Force) chip or ZIF(Zero Force Insertion) chip it might be changeable.

A failed BIOS flash is ALWAYS a bad thing.most motherboard have a small ROM chip as well THOUGH that, if the normal BIOS is corrupted can be used to flash straight from a floppy. Doesn't have anything else; just the flashing ROM.Hello, boriken;
Before we go any further  with the BIOS Flash thing, we need to know the make and model of the Motherboard. Just ecs 848p ? No other numbers ? And which version(s) of the flash software you had.
And how did you know the BIOS had a virus?
Did you say this was a SATA drive?
Did you test the drive on another PC? Quote from: BC_Programmer on January 14, 2010, 07:52:11 PM

most motherboard have a small ROM chip as well though that, if the normal BIOS is corrupted can be used to flash straight from a floppy. Doesn't have anything else; just the flashing ROM.

* Boot block :
Most flash BIOS's incorporate something called a 'boot block'
and UNIFLASH will not normally overwrite it so it remains intact.
The boot block contains just enough code to boot up your computer with basic
peripheral support to enable you to flash in a working BIOS in case something
went wrong , you wont see anything at the screen and you must use a floppy disk as the boot block only supports the floppy drive, no harddrive access!

Really?
I wasn't aware of that, of course I'd never had a need to find it.  Can you supply some documentation I could peruse through?

BC is no too sharp on hard ware.
A portion  of the FLASH is "blown" at the factory so that it ca not be erased. The remainder can still be flashed. That part is ROM. The ROM will read a prepared floppy and re do the flash. This is documented somewhere in the Intel motherboards. Don't know which and not sure if it is still done that way.

Is it possible for an ALPS Touchpad to WORK with a Synaptics driver RATHER than the pre-loaded ALPS driver? Synaptics has a lot better FEATURES than ALPS does, and I was CONSIDERING replacing the ALPS driver with the Synaptics driver...PROBABLY not...

Recently, I reformatted my computer operating system (Win XP) because it was hijacked by some viruses and the viruses damaged my computer's NTF system. Now, I have reinstalled Win Xp, yet I don't KNOW where to get the previous COMPATIBLE drivers and toshiba utilities BACK. PLEASE, help me. Where is the Driver CD that shipped with the laptop ? ?Have you been to this LINK ? <-------Heehee

I have a fairly new dell 1721 running on vista, and one day I turn on my computer and at "boot" it says "no array defined." it tells me to press CONTROL + F. I press that and nothing happens so then I press f2 for setup utility. I go to onboard devices, sata operation, and I change the setting to auto detect and when I restart it says "no bootable devices."  my friend told me to do this and he is also at a loss. I have no idea what to do. any help would be appreciated.  thanxDo you have 1 hard drive or 2?1.Check in BIOS to see that RAID is turned off. I turn the raid on in sata operation and it still says no array defined. then I switch it to raid autodetec and it restarts and says no bootable devices. there is no OPTION to turn raid off and I still can't get to my start menuHave you dropped the laptop? There could be a loose connection somewhere. Taking the HD out and putting it back in might work. The problem could be a FAILED HD too.

N2U400-A ECS mobo with LG GSA H55 DVD drive and running XP

Drive worked for YEARS I have 3 computers was moving drives around to replace a failed older CD drive. Drive installed on secondary IDE as master all by itself. HD is on primary IDE as Master again by itself.

Bios reports both devices.
On boot up XP report New device found cDRom then reports something went wrong during installation, access denied  and device not properly set up MAY not work properly.

No auto detect on DVD  Drive cant GET movie to run by itself , but drive BRINGS upscreen with two fields  " Jacket" and something else. If I double click on one of the files in folder CyberDVD ( think that's what its called) runs and the movie plays flawlessly.

CD is on "E" , HD is on "C" and new volume is on" E"

Tried Device manager / update DRIVER/ install from list or specific location/ Browse /Windows / system32/drivers
could not get it to accept OK to search driver file

Ever since using a user "card" from a hotel my laptop had a mind of it's own. I wound up with UNREAL amounts of programs installed and it has never been the same. Able to RID myself of all these ISSUES exept the laptop locks up if I leave it unattanded for a short time . I have to turn it off and restarting it takes me forever as it will try to restart it shuts down taking numerous tries and have to keep shutting down power and restarting which I think is making a bad SITUATION worse. Any ideas? THANKS!!If I were you I'd run fill SCANS with both my Anti Virus utility AND MalwareBytes

*I am running Windows XP on a custom built computer, which was new only a few months ago.*
I have two Hard Disk Drives, the standard C: drive, and my personal ONE (with usable, large amounts of memory) E: drive. Occasionally when I download something (such as iTunes) it goes directly into C: even after I specify that I want it to save into my E:. I am guessing this is because it is the default or something.. ?
I need to know if it is possible for everything to be saved into my E: instead, since my C: has extremely limited and small amounts of free memory, and even the smallest files fill it, and cause my computer to not run properly. Could someone please inform me as to whether this is possible or not?
My DOCUMENTS can be made to use another folder or drive..
If you are 'Bill', create a folder structure like this:
E:\Bill\MyDocs
Next, on your desktop, right click my documents and select properties.

You will see an option to move the documents to a new folder.
Specify the drive and folder you have just made and click on move.
Wait for the system to move your stuff. Reboot your computer. Most programs will have enough sense to know that the user documents for 'Bill' are now somewhere else. My Music is inside of the My Documents, so it will also be in the new location.
This only apples to one user. In this case 'Bill' nit  JOHN and Mary still have their stuff on the C: drive. That is why we use the user name in the directory structure. Everybody has to have their own place.

Here is the story,
I just bought a new Wester Digital Hard drive Model number WD3200BEKT. it is blank, i go to install Windows Vista in it on my DELL Inspiron 1525. I get to a point were it asks for the drivers for the hard drive threw a disk or flash drive. so i went online to try and find the drivers and i cant find them anywhere. Dell does not have them or does Wester Digital. what do i do?try to check your device here http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Default.aspx if it is compatible with VistaShouldn't need any.  Dell Inspiron 1525 supports SATA through the BIOS and Vista.
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins1525/en/SG/Y465HA01MR.pdf
See p.38-44Computer_Commando, thank you for the info. i tryyed it again but it still wont work i thought that it was just like that to but it wont work at all and is still ASKING for the drivers. I am stumped !!!!P44
NOTE: The Dell Drivers and Utilities media
contains drivers that were installed during
the ASSEMBLY of the computer. Use the
Dell Drivers and Utilities media to load any
required drivers.

I have an Abit Air Pace WiFi which worked fine under Vista Premium 64 Bit. I have just upgraded to Windows 7 and when I d/loaded drivers from Abit and installed I got a BSOD as it installed. Windows said the Manu does not support this device any more. Seems a shame as this is a PCIex1 interface device which is supposed to be more modern than a PCI one. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks AlexmaIs Win732bit or 64 ? ?
If 32bit DLoad and install the Vista32Bit drivers...
Sorry Patio, I updated from Vista Premium 64 Bit to Windows 7 Premium 64bit.  I have now tried 3 times to d/load drivers from abit with the same result 'BSOD' & not there long enough to read the result. BTW abit only list Vista 64bit drivers & not Win 7.Have you tried physically removing the card...removing it in Device Manager and re-installing the hard/software yet ? ?
This worked for me with a Belkin card...Yes Patio, I have just done exactly what you ADVISED with the same result ie BSOD & shutdown. I think I am into a no win situation here unless Abit create Win 764 bit drivers. Thank you anyway. Regards Alexma Best of Luck...

Is it entirely needed ? ?No Not Really!! I have used it in the past as an Access Point, but it is not essential. If I ever do get it going I'll endeavour to let you know. Many Thanks AlexmaAnytime !Alexma, I am in much the same boat except I brought my WLP-01 new to go into my i7 / win 7 new build so it has never worked !
I am sure you have already spotted it but just in CASE – note that there are (at least) two ‘board’ versions of the Airpace around. One is an ‘Artheos’ – I think this will have an AR number somewhere on the card, the other is an Azurewave with “AW 870” on the board. All my tries with various AR drivers have produced a BSOD. Tries with some (I think) AW drivers have still failed but with some signs of recognition. I will keep this post updated if I have any luck just in case you have an AW or somebody else looking for a driver doesn’t spot this difference.

So my NEW Dell WinXP laptop did not come with built-in Bluetooth (corp. IT: "We didn't know you guys used Bluetooth!"). So I bought a USB Bluetooth dongle-type thing from Amazon, only to find out after installing the software, that it's "evaluation" software, and there's an additional charge if I want full functionality!

This all jumps OUTSIDE of my knowledge base, so I have a few questions. There may be some more questions I'm not even thinking of:

- Is the device "married" to specific software? That is, MUST I use the enclosed software with the dongle?

- If the dongle is - for LACK of a BETTER word - unlocked, can anyone recommend software to control it?

I looked briefly on download.com, but wasn't really certain what I was looking for.

Thanks for any and all advice.

Send it back and get your money back...Yeah, I was afraid of that.

Okay for Christmas I got a new laptop, (an Alienware M15x) which was amazing, and I do LOVE this thing, although I've been having quite a few problems recently with it, first of a lot of my games seem to have a very low frame rate when running on the settings that the game recommends. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 240M which should be enough to run games like 'Left 4 Dead 2' on its highest graphics. So I was just on MSN last night and then everything got worse, my DISPLAY driver stopped responding and recovered, not just once, but countless times. my screen just went black flashed a few times and then went back to normal. 
The actual error message is:
(Display Driver stopped responding and has recovered: Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernel Mode Driver, Version 186.47 stopped responding and has successfully recovered)
I have tried to download new drivers from the Nvidia website but it says that the drivers weren't for my OS (Windows 7 64 bit)
If anybody could HELP me, PLEASE LET me know
Many thanks in advance,
Cameron

I'd be exercising the Warranty on that bad boy if i were you...Aw, man.. I'm kind of hoping that I wont have to turn to that.. 
I mean, I could play Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (Single player) fine on maximum graphics and now the frame rate is horrible..

Hello there,

a friend bought a PC from a TAFE COLLEGE recently which was originally hooked up to a network thus had no OS on it. I'm setting it up for someone who knows little about computers. I am only beginning myself, but like to think I know enough to get by.

I installed XP Professional, then used Everest Home Free Edition to identify the motherboard, which turned out to be an Intel D865GLC. I used Intel's website to download all the drivers for it. Every one of them worked except for the graphics driver. It comes up with "Error: one or more files required for installation are either missing or corrupt ... setup will exit".

It's a very frustrating problem because I have no idea what files are missing!! or am I trying to install the wrong graphics driver?? Unfortunately I can't just ignore it because it's obvious the computer is running slow without a graphics driver, particularly when I scroll up or down a page or document.

I tried re-installing XP but to no avail. I am now lost for answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated   

Everest's report is attached for anyone interested.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Chris.

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]Try re-installing the MBoard chipset drivers...re-booting and then the graphics drivers.thanks for your quick reply patio, I tried what you suggested but the error message still appears

Recently, I want to enjoy my Blu-Ray disc on my iPad, and I'm Mac user, I want to convet my Blu-Ray disc movies to my iPad, so I need a free and easy to use software, does any one has ever heared of this software?

http://www.hdvideoconverter-mac.com/blu-ray-ripper-for-mac.html

Any free and simple to use Blu-Ray ripper is OK, you recommendation is highly appreciated. Thank you very much!I would think you would need to use an illegal utility that BYPASSES the anti-piracy of the disc. But I am not going to step into illegal TERRITORY to make any suggestions. There are many methods to do this, but I can not ASSIST to crack the anti-piracy.

I've tried to download the appropriate audio driver for my lenovo laptop, but when I run the download from the lenovo website, it does not seem to work!
I've tried restarting...everything. What can I do?
I have NO sound, and I have no other ideas!

 Did you in fact download the driver and did you then try to INSTALL it? Your post is VERY unclear. And how did you "delete" your audio driver in the first place?unfortunately ive little experience with computers...and am just getting frustrated with a SEEMINGLY simple problem.

i believe i accidently deleted the program (add/remove programs) for my audio device when trying to remove something else, because ever since= no sound.

when looking for what I think i need, i believe that this; Conexant Audio Driver for Windows XP - Lenovo G530 (MT 4446 only), N500...is what is needed to be downloaded to regain sound.

when i try to install to hard drive...nothing is happening. it claims it is installed, but  after the installation is complete, nothing has changed.

any specific way the installation is needed to be done? any advice WOULD be greatly appreciated.
Did you reboot after installing it? No, no special way if it had an "install.exe" or "setup.exe" that you double-clicked on to start the install.yes, definately rebooted.
doesn't ask however if system can be restarted, but did it anyway. (after installwizard was complete)

its been downloaded, and appears on my hard drive, but as i said, nothing has changed.

just need to know if there are any other options...other drivers...i really have no ideas. Please go to START - RUN and type
devmgmt.msc
and press ENTER
Do you see any yellow exclamation marks? If so, next to what devices?yes, one. under the subcategory of other devices, there is a yellow exclamation MARK next to "audio device on high definition audio bus."

Go to the following site and download and install the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver and let us know what happens: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=10error; could not complete installation. could not find device for this driver.

perhaps because its for windows 7? the conexant one is most likely my best bet for having xp, but having no success with it.

thanks for all the help...but i will most likely need to take this in somewhere.  I don't believe the conexant driver is what you want. Your system seems to want a driver for the hi-def audio device. Sorry - wish I knew what you deleted. Have you tried system restore? Have you looked in the recycle bin?

Hi,
I am using Windows Xp sp3 on a Toshiba laptop.
Since a few days back i repeatedly get blue screens which says corrupt driver.I tried to verify my drivers using the verifier.exe in system32 folder but as soon as the COMPUTER reboots,I get blue screen again.I have attached the 4 recent minidumps here.Please help me as I do not want to format my computer.

While I am doing regular stuff like browsing etc the error that appears is:

0x000000C5(0x0A210035,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x8055159A)

and

0x000000C5(0xFFFFFFFF,0x00000002,0x00000000,0x8055159A)

When i try to USE verifier.exe from system32 folder,it tells me to reboot the computer and i get this error

0x000000C4(0x0000003B,0x00000002,0xF0183EEC,0x00000000)

(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
An attempt occurred to touch invalid memory at a process IRQL that is too high. This is almost always caused by drivers that have corrupted the system pool. If you’ve recently installed any new software, check to see if it’s properly installed; and check for updated drivers on the manufacturer’s WEB site.

I've got a real head-splitter that I hope someone can help me with.

I have a machine that is several years old. It stopped working a few months ago and I got a BSOD message with various STOP messages (0x00000024, 0x0000008E, 0x0000001A, 0x000000C2) and the thing won't boot, period. The messaging lead me to believe it was a problem with one of the drives. (There was a two drive RAID-0 for performance on the machine.) However, I've removed the drives from the rig and put in a completely new drive figuring if I can it booting again, I can use RAID recovery utilities to get the data off the RAID drives or repair them. But even with all the hard drives removed from when the errors started, I STILL get the same errors. There was also something to indicate that their may be a BIOS problem and not a drive problem. I've reverted to default settings, etc, but gotten nothing but the same error messages. I can get a boot from DVD going, but as soon as I try to install Windows, I get one of the same STOP messages. I'd flash the BIOS, but it is so old that I don't know the mobo details anymore, I just have the BIOS info, and I can't run any of the utes to tell me what the mobo is anymore.

The BIOS details I have are Phoenix Award BIOS v6.00PG, v1.9 090905

I've done everything I know how to do. Any other help would be appreciated. I've got a good bit of experience under my belt, but this thing is beyond me.

Thanks in advance.Flakey power supply would be my guess...as the error messages are inconsistent.Thank you for the response, but I've already swapped out the power supply. I forgot to mention that. What makes you think the power supply would cause those errors? I'm interested. If there's a chance my backup may be flaky as well, I'd look into swapping it one more time.,I'd borrow one you know is good of the same or GREATER wattage as the 1st one that was replaced...I'll give it a shot, then. I think I have one still in the box somewhere.So I swapped in a new supply that is out of the box, and hooked up everything to the original config.

New and exciting problem: disk read error on boot.

I think it may have something to do with the RAID. I had someone else build this rig for me, so I know next to nothing about RAID. I may need to swap back in that new drive and see what's up, I suppose.If it was SETUP as RAID-0, removing 1 drive and replacing it with another will not work.  Read more about RAID:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAIDNo, that's not it. As I referenced above, I removed both RAIDed drives from the the machine and swapped in a completely different drive to try and get it to boot, but was getting the same errors. That was the procedure I was referring to.Because it's still looking for a RAID array possibly... Quote from: unclefloyd on December 06, 2009, 04:58:57 PM

New drive had Windows already installed and then you got the BSOD?  Or you tried to install it and then got the BSOD?

Is there something in the BIOS I have to change on that?...

I was wondering if ANYONE can help me.  A friends computer is about 10 years old and they have Windows XP running on it.  I bought my friend a WEBCAM for christmas but it won't work on their computer.  After some research we FOUND out that their usb drive is a 1.1 and the webcam needs it to be a 2.0 in order to work.  I bought a 2.0 usb extender hoping that it WOULD make the webcam work but it doesn't.  It says that because the original usb drive is a 1.1 then it will convert the extender to a 1.1 even though its a 2.0

So my question is this.  How do we make the usb into a 2.0 so that the webcam can work?  We already did the usb search and we found out that its not 2.0 compatible so we can't just go and buy a new disk thing to install.  Is there another way of getting the computer to have a 2.0 usb drive so that we can get the webcam to work?

Thanks in advance for any help!  :-)I don't know what a USB 2.0 extender is, but you PROBABLY want a USB 2.0 PCI card, like this:

Is the Computer Windows 98, ME, 2k, or XP?This is the extender that I was talking about.  Not sure of the actual name of it.  lol

http://www.imgsrv.worldstart.com/store/images/4port-cable-hub/4port-cable-hub-02.jpg

The computer has Windows XP running on it.That won't help, it's only a USB hub.  WinXP won't require any special drivers for the USB 2.0 card.So is there a way of getting a usb drive on the computer without having to open up the computer and putting in a new card?Short answer....NO.thanks!

so if i buy a card then it should work in the computer, right?

What if the computer doesn't say anything about being usb2 compatible?  Or are all computers compatible as long as I insert the correct card?The card will be USB 2.0...and they're compatible with all pc's.Great!!  THANKS so much for your help!!!

Hi all,

 i realise the sound on my Dell Latitude D620 is jittery. It kinds of pause for a millisecond on whatever i play. Be it mp3, youtube or even windows shut down sound. I ran the tips for how to INCREASE computer speed and it seems the problem STILL persists.

 I updated the sounds drivers as well. All drivers in my devices seem ok. I've included my HijackThis log. Please help if there is anything wrong here.

Hi Guys!

I would like to ask for some help. I have a Toshiba TECRA M2V and I REFORMAT it and now I lost my CD for the DRIVERS, can you help me find out what are the names of the Drivers that I need to install? Coz if ill GO to the device manager, it wont tell me the names of the Drivers coz im using Windows XP.

Thanks Guys!

Hi,

How to ensure the PROPER functionality of MINI USB cable without any peripheral device intervention? Huh?I think he means "how can I tell if a mini usb cable is OK without PLUGGING it into an external device?". If so, the answer is "You can't, really, without some EXPENSIVE test equipment".
can only prove usb EFFICIENCY went inserted into a system okay then.

Hi,

I've been trying to download my Dell printer. It says I need application/x msdownload to install R190176.exe. I went to MS download and I can't find a download - there's lots of information, but no download. Appreciate all help. Dell drivers and their machines are finicky...
The drivers therefore should only come from Dell.
Travel to the Dell site...enter your Service Tag # from the rear of the machine and it will list all your drivers.I had gone to the Dell website. I downloaded the driver and then I got the message that windows does not recognize application/x msdownload, which I assume is a prerequisite to download the driver. I typed application/x msdownload and went to the msdownload site. I get plenty of information, but I can't SEEM to find where the actual download is located. I'm AFRAID we're gonna need alot more info to continue here including what Ver. of Windows and Service Paks you are running...what changes have been made to the system and a link to the DLoad PAGE you're referring to...application/x-msdownload is a MIME type. what browser are you using?Internet ExplorerIs it possible to download on another browser. Where's the link to the DLoad ? ?Many thanks for your help, but I have solved the PROBLEM. It is a new computer and I'm still downloading programs. I had to download Windows Media 11 and that solved the problem. No offense but that makes no sense whatsoever...

But good to hear you are fixed up...I agree - I found the information on the net. I will probably be back. I can't print again. I'm dealing with some viruses. I will more than likely be back.

I have a Toshiba Satellite a505-s6960.  It came with VISTA and also an up grade for windows 7.  When the geek squad put in windows 7 they did not give me a clean copy of windows 7, it was put on with all the stuff that came with the computer.  I NEED to find how to copy the drivers I need to run the system and the internet and the oem's for the computer.  Some of the programs that the computer came with I want to use again.  So how do I get them to be saved so I can Pick and choose which ones I want? I want the original Toshiba programs that came with the computer.  I don't need the trial ones.  Also I have data and pictures that need to be saved too.  Also when I save these programs and drivers I would like to be able to know what each one is INSTEAD of just a number or something else I do not understand.  I have formatted and put in new OS systems before but always have a hard time when it comes to getting important things NEEDED back in.
Please helpYou can go to Toshiba support site and type in the specific model of your machine for any missing drivers needed.

...When you're switching to a new PC, Windows Easy Transfer helps you transfer your files, email, pictures, and settings. In Windows 7, it lives up to the "easy" in its name. ...
Windows Easy Transfer

the laptop crashed and we DIDNT have the system operating disks so we used one from another computer got the laptop up and working but now it wont detect the internal modem.  Think that the drivers have been deleted.  Need the drivers FILES on a jump drive but when i go to dell website it tries to install them to the standalone im using INSTEAD of allowing me to copy them to a jumpdrive? Dell's driver page does not try to install anything. It allows you to download drivers to your computer. Just enter your service TAG number and it will TAKE you to the right drivers for your system.Inspiron 1545 has no modem, it has various wireless LAN cards.  But do as Alan suggests.

I have a question, I have the Intel 82810 Graphics Controller on my HP Pavilion 512n. I am getting lines that run up and down through the monitor every now and then. It is an intermittent problem, but when I install the proper driver/controller, it asks if i want to install an old version over a new version.

The graphics is integrated into the motherboard. Do I need to add a graphics card to solve this problem, or what? I cannot afford to buy or build a new system right now, no job to pay for it. I also do not LIKE 64bit OS's that seems to be the only ones I can find already installed. I have tried to install some old graphics cards with no success. I have never seen anything like this before. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! Quote from: jowolf359 on August 15, 2010, 05:39:22 PM

Also it SHOWS a yellow triangle beside the microsoft ISATAP Adapter

I tried the microsoft SITE with no luck also

Any helpHow are you trying to update it ? ?
You should DLoad the latest DRIVERS for your video card from ATI's site...

Trying to instal this ancient digi camera on win xp sp3, have downloaded drivers which claim to be xp compatible.  Every time I try to instal it freezes right at the end of the installation.

This is NIPPING my head.  Anybody any ideas?  Maybe should have MENTIONED that I have tried the install on several pc's and it freezes while copying files to sys32.I had the same camera.  Driver software never worked with WinXP.  It worked OK with Win2k.look here

I tried to read through the threads & can't find anything. My E Drive has been acting funny, not reading cds (to copy on) and now it won't even open. Any suggestions as to what to do?I'll take a guess that e: drive is your optical drive, correct? Does the drive work at boot (insert a bootable disc, make sure the drive is at the top of the bios boot order, and reboot)?Restart, try it!Ok, You're going to have to go a bit slower with me. The drive is the one where you burn CDs (to back up files) or use to install software. I have a Gateway Laptop. My Computer says Drive:E. I tried restarting and that doesn't work, not sure what the other suggestion was saying to do, I'm not that computer savvy. It will read software, like to install STUFF, but won't recognize a blank disc.First of all, ignore any posts by cloudy3

Second, you're first post says the drive won't open. Now you're saying it works fine but won't recognize blank discs. Which is it?

And are you sure you are using the right discs (some drives require cd-r or cd+r and won't accept the other). Read the specs for your cd drive.When I posted the drive wouldn't open at all, after restarting, it opened & I got the disc out, I tried getting it to read a software disc & it would, but it won't read a writeable disc. I don't know where to check specs to see. Sorry to be a bother but I came to the chat room before & they help me in a heartbeat. I'm just not sure what the problem is & have tried anything suggested.Wait, I'm sorry, it says on the underneath CD+R & the ones I got are CD-R, I'm going to try getting the other ones. I'm really sorry but I recently had to reinstall Windows from a virus & have been trying to get things back in order ever since. And the store installed everything to start with so I've been flying blind here. Hopefully this will work. Thank you.there is no such thing as CD+R. there is CD-ROM, CD-R (recordable) and CD-RW (REWRITABLE).


If you cannot read CD-R or CD-RW's, either your drive is an older CD-ROM drive that cannot read them or the disc is the wrong type. (there are different COMBINATIONS of the COLOR of the plastic and the type of metals used).Thanks BC. I should have TYPED DVD instead of CD.If as the O/P implies by "not reading cds (to copy on)" that it is a CD-RW optical device then it is not a "your drive is an older CD-ROM" but is an RW drive. The impression i have is that while it still reads from cd discs it cannot write to them anymore. If that is the case it may be a reflection that the laser for writing is no longer functioning.
If this is the case  the least expensive way to get a RW device back would be to purchase an external optical drive and use that via a usb port. I would additionally recommend a replacement with an external dvd rw for greater versatility.

i downgraded my toshiba l355d-s7809 from vista to xp... because i needed some programs that doesnt work in a non-XP OS... EVEREST didn't made any impact on identifying my card... XP for this notebook model is not supported in the brand's site... so, i had manually identified all the other hardwares to get their drivers... unfortunately, i hadn't figured out what's my sound card yet... thanks for the help...

P.S. i guess it's an AC'97...All LAPTOP drivers should come directly from the laptop manuf. site...i guess not... laptops today are only supported by their manufacturer's site in WINDOWS 7 or vista os... that's why i did efforts on trying to found my HARDWARE integrated in my mobo... for example, the integrated video card is ati x1250... which, toshiba's site only provided windows 7 and vista version of its driver... but as i said, i managed to found the hardware's specs that's why i found the xp version of the driver in ati's site itself... the problem now is my sound card... actually, the only one left unfound... try to surf on toshiba's site toshiba basic l355d-s7809 if you wanna verify my claim... but anyway, thank you man... i think it's hard to find people who wants to TALK... your reply do matter to me...

is my english correct? hahaha...You're missing the whole point....all laptop manuf. customise device drivers supplied to them for each component...that's why any drivers for laptop components should come ONLY from the laptop manuf. site...is there anyone in there who owns the same model or have access on the same model... it doesn't matter what's the OS... what i really need to identify is the soundcard's specs...  i think i'll be able to finx xp version of the driver if i know the card's specs... thanks man...owwww... im sorry... yeah i believe you man... for example the chipset that realtek r5.61 respond to can be modified depending on the manufacturer... but man, i'm really desperate, that's why i'm tryin to find out if the chipsets manufacturer's driver version would work or not... man, help me if you can... can you find me xp driver for this chipset? thank you very much... just try to google my laptops model man... i don't know where you are, but i guess your access to internet way much better than i...

I reinstalled my system and don't have an audio driver.  I SEARCHED in the net but COULD not find ONE.  My system is LG LAPTOP model gs50.  please help......Try this one - http://notebook.driversdown.com/notebook-drivers/s_259_1.shtmlAnd if by "reinstalled my system" you mean that you formatted and reinstalled the OS, be sure to install the chipset driver.

I don't get any NOTIFICATIONS at all when PLUGGING in a usb DEVICE. and I don't have a disc for the OSDon't start a new thread when you ALREADY have one going. I'm LOCKING this thread - please reply in the other one.

After reformatting my computer, I installed the ChipSet for my motherboard (Asus), but then i found out that i was lacking sound, Sound Properties, the box was grayed out with a No Audio Device message on top, i tried all the tips on other forums but couldn't get it to work.

Please help me out!
I have an Asus m2n68 am se2 MotherBoard.

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Please don't double post. You already have a thread GOING on this subject. This thread is now locked.

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and recently had a problem with my new set up that is driving me crazy!

I installed a trust TB-7300 driver and upon restart my computer went into a loop, there is a blue screen but flashes for part of a second.

I tried to restart in safe mode so I can go back to previous set point (I always create restore point before installing anything). When I do this my pc screen is full of text,

multi(0)disk(0)rdisc(0)partition(1)...

At the end there are different drivers listed

I think I have no option but to reinstall XP? I would appreciate any help on how to avoid in the future/what happened!!

Thanks in advance!!Which driver did you install?
http://www.trust.com/products/productdrivers.aspx?artnr=15358Hi Computer_Commando

I actually installed the driver from the disk, I know I shouldnt have, I was too lazy to download on other PC and burn. I guess this is the problem and believe that my only option is to reinstall XP and download updated driver from Trust website and hope for the best!

I am not sure if it is best to install the Trust driver after motherboard, graphics and audio and before installing anything else this time? Quote from: will2power on May 12, 2010, 02:55:22 AM

"I would attempt a Repair Install rather than a Reinstall."
This was some good advice, I repaired as per the instructions you gave me and I am back in to windows

I have a few questions about what you think is best to do now.

When I repaired windows it froze at the "please wait" screen and I manually restarted (pressed reset switch). It worked 2nd time. I believe this may be because of driver putting in corrupt registry entry?
So, should I (after taking an image backup of hard drive )
A: Try to go back to pre driver install using "system restore"
B: Try to uninstall/ disable driver for graphics tablet?
C: Do nothing and install rest of software for graphics tablet?
D: Try to find the corrupt registry entry, if there is one, and delete it?
I could not find the drivers on 1st glance, does a windows repair delete or "fix" things like this? I really dont know how it works....

First time in this forum. Hope you guys can help me out

OS: Windows 7 64-bit

Haing this webbcame *logitech QuickExpress*

This is a sub modell witch is not in the list.


Here is what i'm after!

ID:

P/n 861170-0000

Problem is that ive checked their forums for troubleshooters ETC. All they say *those drivers are not available for windows 7*

Kinda ticks me off. And i'm sure you can go bypass this problem somehow. Either by some custome drivers? or make one?

Any help is appriciated!

Best regardsHave you tried calling Logitech Support? I've always found them intelligent and helpful. QUOTE from: Allan on August 30, 2010, 10:59:46 AM

Have you tried calling Logitech Support? I've always found them intelligent and helpful.

Hey guys new here wondering if you can help or not.  I had to reinstall a copy of windows xp on to a friends computer.  After doing so I did not have any sound.  I keep getting an error message saying cannot play back the audio stream: no audio hardware is available, or the hardware is not responding.  I went into device manager it does not show any device conflicts, nor does it actually show the sound card, just the audio codecs and what not.  This is not my computer but a friends that he got from someone else.  It appears to be custom built.  It's not a Dell or Gateway or anything like that otherwise I would just go to there website.  Any idea if there is some other problem here or do I just need to know what sound card this computer has so I can get the appropriate drivers.  How in the world do i determine what sound card this has?  I cant find anything.  The FCC number on the motherboard was of no help. 

Thanks for the helpHello!
Welcome to CH!

Try this >> EverestDoes this machine have on-board video?
Also If you open the case and get out a magnifying glass you should be able to find the brand and model number somwhere on the motherbaord. Once you have located it, do a Google search on that model and you should be able to find drivers for it.As jerryheavyarms said...

Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
In upper menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI Ok took a while to get around to this but here it is.  Let me know your thoughts.  Thanks again.

Hello!

Correct me if Im wrong, but i think Evest didn't detect the PC's audio. If I may ask, does your friend have

the motherboard installer?

After a re-install ALL drivers are erased...start by re-installing the MBoard drivers.
They should be on a CD labeled Driver CD that shipped with the machine...
This should be done FIRST.I hope, you have that CD, because VT8377 Apollo KT400 chipset is not even listed at VIA site. Further search may be needed.Ya thats the problem.  In my op device manager was not detecting any sound card nor did everst.  Now when I installed windows, not all the drivers were installed from the windows cd.  If I recall correctly there was a audio driver, but dont quote me on that, that needed to have the driver installed.  After updating USING the, automatically search for this driver option, it disapeared from my system.   I believe it loaded a sigma tel audio driver from the windows built in drivers.  I think what happened is that my computer recognized the wrong driver being needed.  The system installed that driver and so now windows thinks there is no longer a device conflict, but it is not showing me that driver in the device manager so I can uninstall it and find the correct one.  That being the case how can I uninstall the driver that windows choose for me and find out where I can get the correct drivers. 

Hopefully a little more info helps.  He does not have the motherboard drivers.  The only thing he got was the tower.   Are there any yellow "?", or "!" marks in Device Manager, possibly under "Other devices"?This is confusing...
I found Apollo KT400 chipset on VIA site: http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/k7-series/kt400/index.jsp, but it reports South Bridge as VT8235, not VT8377.
Maybe, you can sort something out from here: http://www.computing.net/answers/hardware/amd-xp-24-down-to-833mhz/45985.html, response #3.Hey ALL,

I know this is an OLD post but I'm having the SIMILAR issue.

I actually uninstalled my sound driver unknowingly but when my computer starts up it says "unknown hardware" and can't find a driver to use.

I'm including my EVEREST Report
THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!

calmmarian, First a warm welcome to the CH forums. It is considered very bad form to piggyback on another's post. If you wish to have members assist you with YOUR issue then please create your own post. If you do that now i feel very confident people will come forth to assist you. Just make a new subject explain what your problem is and also include your Everest scan and help will come. truenorth

Ok now I'm really reaching on this one (while WAITING for the O/P to tell us what model/brand of computer we are dealing with).If it is as stated"the computer is pretty old" then is it possible that the original O/S was NOT XP but W98? If so and the O/P has the access would it help anything to do a double boot with win98  as the other O/S.Then see if the USB ports will show up in the Win98 configuration. Or will that have no affect on the fact that the Host Controllers are not present? Please don't laugh if this is ridiculous --just say so i can take it. truenorthmaybe this can help?

well the problem I'm having is that whatever I connect seems to appear as if it's working when it doesn't. like for example if I plugged in an ipod it'll start charging (well appear to charge, it never actually charges the battery -_-) but nothing happens on the computer. and yes i'm positive there's no option in bios, no section in device manager nothing appears on pc manager either like in the pics i posted.

Well I can  honestly say this has me stumped.

Hardware: Mobo-Jetway HA06
                     video- ATI 3200 built-in
                 Vid Card- ATI 4670
 
I uninstalled my motherboard's video driver, because installing my new video card didn't seem fond of me keeping it, but now,I try to run the CD that has my mobo's driver on it, and it says "Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit." I've also scanned plug and play on my display adapters through MMC, and it doesn't pick up my motherboard's display either, I currently have a monitor plugged into it, it's just blank, although I don't believe that affects anything. I'm going to check BIOS after this post, I was just wondering if there is a simple solution to this, since windows isn't picking up the missing hardware at all.Are you trying use the onboard graphics and the add-on graphics adapters simultaneously?  If YES, that's your problem.  On most computers, it's ONE or the other, but not both.Well, that is my exact problem. How would you tell if you could run both of them? I doubt it'll be worth the trouble, but no point in not trying to find out. Quote from: hobogunner on September 07, 2010, 06:02:30 PM

1.  Well, that is my exact problem.
2.  How would you tell if you could run both of them?
3.  I doubt it'll be worth the trouble, but no point in not trying to find out.

Does your motherboard still use it's north bridge for the Video Card data?

do video cards even use the chipset on the mobo?

I have an OLD scanner that I need a driver for, and can't locate one.

The scanner is a Visioneer PaperPort One Touch model  Compact FB. The software I have for it does not include a driver that will run with anything newer than WIN98SE. I've Googled for a driver that will WORK with WIN2000, but with no success. An additional problem is that the computer I WANT to install the scanner on does not have internet connection. I would have to download any driver I found to a flash drive, and install it on the WIN2K computer using that drive.

The scanner works fine; I have the installation disk, but none of that helps until I find the right driver. Any suggestions?You are trying to find a driver that is for a scanner probably designed to work with a win 98 O/S that will enable you to use it with Win 2000. As undoubtedly you know both the O/S and the scanner are probably NOT supported any longer by their manufacturers. This by itself doesn't automatically mean that no such drivers exist. After all your quest is for an operating system compatibility that is not too far removed from it's original compatibility
  My suggestion would be to contact "Visioneer" and on bended knee ask for their assistance. They should have an archive of the drivers you need (if the windows 2000 compatibility EVER existed) they might provide it to you.

I actually had a driver sent to me once by a hardware manufacturer as an e-mail attachment that existed but was too outdated to be on their web tech support page. good luck,truenorthSorry it's taken so long to get BACK to you. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it, and see what happens

Hi everyone.

Please I need your help. I 've just installed WINDOWS 7 on my eee pc 1000H and instaled all the drivers NEEDED, but can't find wi-fi DRIVER, wi-fi doesn't work

I need wi-fi very much..

THANK youSee Here...

Lastly we come to the audio extra. ASUS ran out of room on the board to add the audio ports. To this end, a special daughter board is used with the HD Audio codec onboard with 6 Stereo audio ports, the front audio connector header and the analogue CD-IN port. This plugs into a PCI Express x1 like port above the first PCI Express x16 port on the board. A SoundMAX Microphone system is provided as an additional extra for your system.

Interesting tidbit: Using a Audigy SE or a X-Fi XtremeAudio, or any of several other similar sound cards will reduce performance on the whole, because those cards use Host-based processing.

One might think that the Audigy SE Card uses an Audigy Chip, and the X-Fi XtremeAudio uses an X-Fi Chip, but this is not the case. Neither one has the DSP processor that they are implied to have in their name. All the "processing" that would normally be performed by the card (EAX effects and so forth) are actually done by your CPU.

So what sound card would you recommend then? I am just building another computer and I'm looking to install a Creative Extreme Gamer, sound card. I don't want to use this card if it eats into my cpu!

Will this apply to my sound card if I am using EAX, or is it only onboard sound and and cheaper cards that will use the CPU?

Don't worry! It's only the "Value" line that usually omits the DSP for which the cards are named- the Audigy SE/Audigy 2 SE as well as the X-Fi extreme Audio. the  other X-Fi's (including the extremeMusic/ExtremeGamer) include the DSP.

Hello,I just made my self a account here to speak about my problem.Right now im in safe mode writing this because,my computer is DIEING i think.I have READ a few topics about my kind of problem.I have 3 theories why my computer is acting this way but first the problem, Now i own a Ordi Twister with a little mod.I have a GeForce 8600 Gt videocard in and  i think is dieing out.I have been getting thees weird freezes that randomly then i like open firefox or something else like msn the screen CRASHES and a lot of different colored dots or pixels come and i cannt to nothing but hardreset by the reset button.Im really worried because it the best computer i ever owned.My specs are,AMD athlon 64 2x dua; core processor 5000+ 2.61GHz.2.00 gb of ram.It has served me well over the 3-4 years i had it and im very happy about it until now.When it was purchaced from the store my father ordered to put the best video card the shop has and it was the limited edition Nvidia GeForce 8600GT.Now im really worried about losing this battle with this computer because i had problems before but nothing i coulnt handle but this is way over my head.I heard that u must upgrade your video card to fix this so im downloading it right now and giving u the detail later.Btw if PEOPLE are wondering its not the HEAT thats the problem because i have the cover open and i have a massive fan blow air in it and its not still working.So any ideas to fix this let me know and no i dopnt usually keep the cover open i have it closed.1) In the future, please just state the problem without the story - it's very difficult to read your post as it stands.
2) Try a new video card and/or try a different display. If they don't make a difference we can go from there. Quote

Right now im in safe mode writing this

im TRYING to fix my moms old dell LAPTOP she bought it from a guy and never got the drivers and utilities disk to it so im on the dell website trying to download the drivers but downloading the video drivers is a major problem its saying "incorrect vbios for this system, please consult support.dell.com?? wat could be the problem i mean could it be the os??You may need to FLASH VBIOS.
What video card do you have there? Quote from: anthonymi84 on September 18, 2010, 10:05:01 AM
