Hey Guys, Pretty new member here, well actually Just started.

Okay so to my problem,

I've GOT a Radeon HD 5850 - for my PC, (Custom Build, Windows7/64bit)
    4gb ddr3 Ram, OCZ
    750W therm-take psu
    ASUS P7P55D-E PRO MOTHERBOARD
    1tb internal HD (WD)
    30 dollar crappy cd drive xD
    in a NZXT Tempest Evo Case.



I just formatted it so there shouldn't be anything screwing it over, also

My problem is that my resolution with the updated drivers doesn't go to the bevel, there is about and inch of blackness around the screen,

And the only way to get rid of it is to DIVERT to my old drivers using SYSTEM restore. I have no clue how to fix this issue, Hence why i'm posting here.

-Running it at 1080p Resolution.
-32bit High color
-Refresh rate of 60Hz

Running it at a lower Resolution it works, eg
1680x1050
--It's just when i make it 1080p it doesn't like it. with the new drivers..
My screen is the Asus -MS236
(If that helps at all)


Attached is a picture of what is happening.

IF you know how to fix this issue, please help!

Thanks,

Hola, por FAVOR necesitaria ayuda para conseguir el driver de Camera Chicony Usb 2.0 of Toshiba NB255-N250, para windows seven

Los que baje de Toshiba.com no funcionan

Muchas gracias.

Hi, Please I need help in getting the driver of Chicony USB 2.0 Camera of Toshiba NB255-N250, windows seven

Those who do not work lose Toshiba.com

Thank you very much.

All laptops should use only drivers from the manuf. site...
GO to Toshiba's site...Does not recognize the driver to GET off the toshiba siteThen you're doing SOMETHING wrong...MAKE sure you are downloading this driver:
http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/tc30049700n.exe

I would LIKE to upgrade my USB drivers to 2.0. When plugging in devices I get the bubble that says "This USB device can perform faster if plugged into a USB 2.0 port..." Of course I do not have any 2.0 ports.

I am running XP SP3 on a Dell Latitude C840 laptop.

The attached file has a screen shot of the SETUP in Device Manager and shows my existing drivers as: "Intel 82801CA/CAM USB Universal Host CONTROLLER - 2482". a second controller has the same name but ends with 2487.

I just want some advice since I have never updated board level drivers. Is there a recommended site to perform this function? I have visited the Intel site but cannot determine the CORRECT drivers to use.

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]It's not the drivers, it's the usb ports themselves (the hardware). You can buy add-on usb2 pci cards and INSTALL them.so for the laptop I would need a PCMCIA card, I found some for $17. Thanks.You're welcome

sigh...driver worked really good thanks in windows 7 32 bit. great thanks i tried a lot before this.I hereby nominate daniel for Helper of the Year award.....this is phenomonal ! !I bought one over Ebay and on the disk that came with it says "XCS" and the drivers do not support vista or win7.

This driver works for me too on win7:

hallelulah praise the possum and his bumblebee disciples I have found the ANSWER to the question I never intended to ask!

hallelulah! Salute the Suess! And so it was said that there was a cat and he did don a hat of FAR larger vertical proportions then his own cranium, and it didst look awkward, but he did then say to the goldfish, "how is thou sentient? And How dost thou breath of the oxygen in this air with ichthyological breathing apparatus?" To which the goldfish did reply, "because the Suess made be that way" Praise'd be the possum and his disciples! Drinketh of the holy lemonade and be merry, Suess Bless us all!

I have no idea what people's issue is with this topic

Hi!

I had the same problem.

I googled and found the solution here : http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic112380.html

Ok..  I was given an old M9A to fix up..  it had a chinese version of XP on it so I wiped the disk and installed english version of XP pro..  there were a few unknown devices but did manage to find what they were and install the drivers for them.. but the camera driver wasn't there and it didn't list any other unknown devices..  I figured out that it was a vmicro usb camera, installed the driver for it and the camera worked.. the device was listed under imaging devices.  now here's the problem. the camera driver doesn't seem to "stick"  .I lose the driver on reboot and then I sometimes can't install it again..  Oh I should mention that trying to install the driver via the installation program doesn't ever seem to work.. I have to install manually.

I have two versions of the driver but they both do the same thing. the one  I have installed at the moment is listed in device manager as usbvm321, driver date 10/24/2005, driver version 321.1.1024.34

I'm thinking that maybe the camera hardware is faulty..   sometimes It'll say.. usb vmicro camera found .. and I'll have to install the driver.. I thought maybe it was a intermittent usb cable for the camera  but when it's working I can move the display around and the camera doesn't drop out.. only seem to lose  the driver on a reboot.

I don't think I've ever seen a device just GO missing from the device manager, it's got me puzzled.

a bit more history ..  the girl the got the laptop from said the camera never worked and she always used an external one..  I've had the display apart (I NEEDED to replace the backlight in the LCD screen)  everything "LOOKS" ok (camera/wire)

any advice you can offer will be appreciated..


edit: I guess I should put in that the OS is xp pro - sp3 with all MS SECURITY updates and mobo and other drivers done from ASUS siteDownload and run the uninstall tools:
http://www.vimicro.com/english/product/PublicDriver/WIN/Uninstall_Tools.zip

Then DOWNLOAD and run the their chip type detector:
http://www.vimicro.com/english/product/ChipTypedetector.zip

That should identify exactly what model the camera is. You can download the driver from:

Hi,
I'm trying to repair my dad's laptop and I need your help guys!
Wireless just won't work! the message reads:
"Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless Software version 10.1.0.2 does not support Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection device driver version 12.4.4.5.

Please update to the driver to one of the following version:
10.0.0.X;10.1.0.X

or update Intel(R) PROSet Wireless Software to one of the following versions:
12.0.0.X;."

The TROUBLE is that I have tried updating both and it doesn't work. I have uninstalled wireless driver completely and installed again from Intel CD and the problem is still there.

Some info about the laptop itself just in case you need it:
Acer Aspire 5633WLMi, OS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
I have also tried in Device manager right click to update network adapter used CD and still no resolution.

HELP??
Get the wireless chipset drivers DIRECTLY from Acers site...This is assuming XP came with the COMPUTER. If it had Vista and you're DOWNGRADING you will not get the drivers this way.

Didn't see the exact model, but would imagine it'd be classified on the site under the 5600 series. The direct link to the Intel chipset drivers, which should have the Wireless software is at the below link.

My Gateway MT3423 had Windows Vista.  After it crashed I decided to install Windows XP Pro.  Now I dont have any drivers for my wireless card and other devices on my Laptop.  Gateway only has the drivers for Vista.

ny suggestions or help?Yes. Reinstall Vista.just worked out a similar problem with an ACER laptop.
it didn't come with a os cd, so I re-format with one from my desktop, but then I didn't have any of the drivers. It took me all day (thankfully I had another computer beside me, so I could look for the appropriate drivers on the internet), but it's all good.
I think next time ... have the drivers ready before the re-format.
Phil Quote from: Broni on January 25, 2009, 09:41:08 PM

Yes. Reinstall Vista.

Quote from: Broni on January 25, 2009, 09:41:08 PM

Yes. Reinstall Vista.

Thats was fantastic and helpful.
[edited to remove language]
Please, don't abuse others - Calum

That'd be it...This is typical. I downloaded a new driver from Dell.com.

I have NOT installed the driver.

The problem has not manifested itself since.

I have NOT installed the driver.

Just the threat of a new driver appears to have DONE the trick.

Sigh.It's like having your mechanic drive the CAR to IDENTIFY a noise he NEVER hears...
Same symptom...

Hi to all.

1.Does the Nvidia physx 9.10.0513 system software driver and DirectX/Direct3D 11 work with the AMD ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 Graphics card?

2.Does anyone know where i can download DirextX/Direct3D 11?


Thanks

I need to setup a HP DESK jet 6943 in a SERVER 2008 X64 environment - but I cant find drivers for it. All the sites I have checked none of them SUPPORT that driver for server 2008. I was told to TRY a universal driver but not having any luck downloading the 2008 X64   

Any suggestions?

ThanksI haven't tried it myself, but from what I've read Vista drivers should work fine in Server 2008. Try that.thank pal!

FUJITSU SIEMENS V5.12 01 3621 AUDIO is the driver I need. Unfortunately I cant seem to download it from anywhere.
I do have the disk of the DRIVERS for this computer, but they're not WINDOWS 7 supported.
Help needed, asap.It's highly likely that an older machine would not have drivers for Win7...
If they're not at the manuf. site they don't exist...No worries, I got a SOLUTION. For any Windows 7 Users with problems like these, TRY this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xrW2V6RA4U
Worked great for me. Windows did something RIGHT?

Whoa - hold on. If it's a laptop everything changes. You have to check the website of the laptop manufacturer for video drivers.Haha yeah, That's what I THOUGHT And From the manufacturer website it's more confusing ....It shouldn't be confusing at all. There should be a location for driver downloads for your specific laptop.And since I have Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit I guess I just select the Windows vista as OS, because other options are win 7s or win vista 64 bit?That would be correctIt worked fine installing the first graphic driver, but when i try to INSTALL the intel graphic driver i get the error, '' computer does not meet the requirements '' ?! help!I don't know what the "first" graphic driver is. And what video card to you have?I have a ATI Radeon HD 4650, and installing the first graphic driver for that worked fine, then when i try installing the 2nd driver which is a graphic driver for intel I get the error, My processor is an Intel Core 2 duo P7550WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE FIRST GRAPHIC DRIVER??? Is that the one from the Garden of Eden? WHAT IS THE FIRST GRAPHIC DRIVER?SORRY If i wasn't being clear on that, The first driver was the driver for My ATI Radeon cardThank you. Don't worry about any other drivers. You're done.Ah ALRIGHT... because it did not fix my problem Can't help that. Your display driver is now current. If you like, you can make sure you have the latest version of Direct-X
http://www.microsoft.com/games/en-us/aboutgfw/pages/directx.aspxI just had a thought about that, but Then it hit me, does ATI Radeon HD 4650 ( my card) support direct x 11? :O how can i know?Install it and find out. Your card supports 10.1, it should support the latest version.

Hi, I just recently re-formatted my computer and I'm pretty sure I installed and updated all of the correct drivers, yet whenever I play a game, the graphics aren't as good as they should be and the button saying "PLAYER detail" or whatever, is stuck on low and I can't CHANGE it.  I know my computer can handle these games at the high quality levels because I've played them in the past WITHOUT a problem.  Any help would be much appreciated...

Dells are indeed FINICKY about Drivers...
Travel to the Dell site and enter your Service Tag # for the correct ones.And MAKE sure that you've installed the chipset driverMay I ask which games?  Ummmm he's been gone for 10 days now with no reply....but go ahead.

The new beta DRIVERS suck and i cant find my disc anywhere to return back to the default drivers i got with the card.

Can anyone link me to the very first driver release?

Windows xp 32 bit.Roll back in device managerNah didnt work , no drivers to rollback to.Then TRAVEL to the manuf. site and GRAB which ones you need...http://www.gigabyte.com/support-downloads/download-center.aspx

You'll have to DETERMINE specifically which of the 3 GTS 450 models you have, but that's where to get the driver.

In the future, I'd AVOID any beta driver for normal use. They are pre-release versions and potentially buggy.

Hello:

I have a Sony Viao PCV-7752 desktop that I just reinstalled the XP Home on.  I can't find drivers for the PS/2 keyboard ... you'd think that would be the easiest thing to find but I've looked AROUND Sony's site and ELSEWHERE.  Don't these basic drivers load at boot?  Are they specific to each type of keyboard--I've tried the Sony keyboard and a Dell?  I don't even see a keyboard in Device Manager.

You shouldn't need drivers for the keyboard. Is it not working?No, not working.  I tried attaching a ps/2 to usb adapter but it still doesn't work.  However, when I plug a usb-only keyboard, it works.  It's a neighbors and they don't have a usb keyboard.Have they ever unplugged or plugged in the keyboard while the computer was on? That can destroy the ps/2 port.

Do the lights on the keyboard flash when you first turn the computer on?

Can you get into BIOS with that keyboard?The lights do come on the keyboards (I'm testing two different ps/2 keyboards to be sure).  I can't get into bios as it requires me to press shift-F10 and it doesn't work.You say that you've just installed XP. Did you use the same keyboard to perform the install? When did the keyboard stop working? Quote

I don't even see a keyboard in Device Manager

I did a BOOT log and saw that a lot of drivers fail to load and was curious as to if there was a way to make windows just not check these drivers during startup if they aren't NEEDED?

Attaching boot log to post.

Go back to your Windows Advanced Options(F8) and choose Disable Boot Logging.

If you looked at the ntbtlog.txt file, you would see that many of the drivers aren't loaded.

I checked boot logging to see the log myself and wanted to know if there is a way to not even attempt to load these drivers that aren't being used at startup.

I have a TEAC CD224E  External CD ROM drive that is plug and play in EVERYTHING except WIN 98.  I am trying to up grade a laptop with WIN 98 to XP, but it has no internal CD drive.  "Chicken and egg" problem.  I need the external drive to do the up date, but I can't get 98 to read the CD drive unless I can put a driver in via the floppy drive.  Thanks!Welcome to computer will form. There are people here well-qualified to give you the exact answer to your question. Just be patient, they are volunteers and have nothing to gain except the satisfaction of helping you.
First of all, how did you get Windows 98 onto the machine without a CD-ROM drive?
Next question, does this machine have a floppy drive?
Also, how much free space you have on your hard drive? And what is the speed of the processor and how much RAM do you have available. Are you sure you want to up this machine to Windows XP? in my personal opinion it would be better to upgrade the machine to Windows 2000.
Yes, there is a way to get Windows 98 to recognize an external floppy disk or optical disk drive. Just wait a bit and someone will be with back here. Either me or somebody else.Computer is a Dell Inspiron 3000 laptop.  I came with WIN 98 loaded.  Has a floppy drive but no internal CD drive.
233 MHZ with 144 MEGS of RAM.  Trying to put together a low cost computer for a low income person for primarily email use, using stuff I have on hand.  Wanted to use XP Home because I have an unused one on hand and I don't have WIN 2000.  It will be a little slow with XP, but should be OK for email.  Also, 2000 seems to BECOMING more and more of an orphan.  All I need is to get WIN 98 to read the CD drive and I am good to go.  Thanks for your reply.Spend 30 Bucks for an internal drive...
Reason being not only did Win98 not have native CD drivers it also lacks support for USB...

Otherwise you could try searchinf for OakRom CD drivers...but how you are going to get them to load at bootup is another can of worms.

PS...with those specs XP is gonna be painfully slow.Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Just install a regular CD Drive.

But if youn insist, here are some more thooughts I had.

I still think Windows 2000 is a better choice for that machine to cut the processor speed and the limited amount of RAM you have available. Also, did you have some problem using Windows 98 to get on the Internet? As I RECALL, Windows 98 SP does a pretty good job on the Internet. The problem with windows 98 was a lack of drivers of the many kinds of hardware that's out there. Just because newer hardware was developed after Windows 98 and 98 SP were released.

As for being an orphan, Microsoft has many generic drivers that will work on many Windows operating systems except Windows 98. So that practically makes Windows 98 the orphan. Although some would say windows in me is the orphan. Of all that is besides the point.
Here's one method to install Windows XP, one that I've used, and I can safely recommend it to you. Here is the trick. You need the help of another computer. Which apparently you have.
What we do is somehow our remove a hard drive of a laptop and partition it so there is enough extra room for a copy of the Windows XP install.  Using EASUS or other such tool. That'll TAKE close to seven or 800 MB. Once you have done that, you would've to drive back in the laptop and booted up. If all goes well, windows 98 for come back up on a smaller primary tenet of our kitchen with an extended partition that has the Windows installation. You go into the directory that's called i386 and you're supposed to be defined a program there that will start up the Windows XP installation. Normally windows XP will start up inside a Windows 98 and do a full install. The problem is you only get one shot at this. If the installation fails the old operating system has been scrubbed. You might want to make some kind of image copy of the Windows 98 system before you put the drive back in the laptop. Just in case.
It also can be done over a network connection. Do you have a reliable net connection with Windows 98 Westmark did so, you can share the CD-ROM drive on your main computer and let Windows 98 have access to that drive. There is a way to do installation over a network, and I don't remember it that will work right under Windows 98. I've only done the operation off of a hard drive that has a copy of windows XP installation.
Somewhere this is documented in the Microsoft knowledge base, I just don't remember how to find it.
Would this work for you?



Tried to find an internal cd drive for the Inspiron 3000.  After many googles I came up with one at $128.  Far too expensive for this bare bones project.

Thanks for the suggestion Geek-9pm, but the hard drive swapping or computer to computer install of XP is beyond my abilities and time available. 

I will follow up on Patio's suggestion of looking at Oakrom Drivers.  Perhaps I can get one of their generic ones to work.  Just so frustrating that this whole project is hung up over a simple driverIf anybody wants to pitch in and help, here is a do-it-yourself kit from MS.

Just to give you an example, I have a Dell Pentium 3 600Mhz with 192MB Ram, and I have to keep it at SP2 because bringing it to SP3 and all latest patches leaves about 20MB Free which is barely enough to do anything.

I need to update the drive of a computer. There are a lot of programs by Google. But it is not free. And some, such as -drive max- giving a lot of possibilities. I hope your advice guysWhat do you mean "update the drive"?What drive, there are literally hundreds.

More information wouldn't go amiss, MAKE of PC, OS, the actual thing you are trying to update, y'know, the basics.Sorry if question is not clear

Which device?

Hi, guys. I have a Dell INSPIRON 1525 on Vista 32bit and for some time now, It has been running slow and MAYBE I have a mother board problem but I thought reinstalling
Vista to the factory settings would be a good idea to see If that helps. So I reinstalled Vista with the reinstallation DVD. It worked but now I have a new problem.
I have problems with the dell drives. (No touchpad, Internet ect)
I open Device Manager and get a yellow triangle with an (!) on the following
Display adapters = Standard VGA Graphics Adapter
Other devices = Base System Device - Base System Device - Base System Device - Ethernet Controller - Network Controller - Video Controller
So I went to my other computer to go to dell website and put my tag number In an downloaded all the drivers to an external HARD drive.
Putting the external hard drive In the laptop with problems thinking I could double click and Install the drivers. But get the message
Application download did not succeed, check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider.
The only discs I have for my laptop are Microsoft works 9, Dell MediaDirect 3.5 and Windows Vista home premium 32bit.
I called Dell thinking I still had warranty but got told It had ran out and got put to the warranty expired people who told me my problem would be fixed In 15 minuets but would cost £69.99. I really think £70 for 15 minuets Is a bit much so hope you guys might be able to help me out.
Sorry for the long post and thank you for any help.There is no reason you shouldn't be able to download the drivers on any system. Try again. Once you're successful, install the chipset driver first followed by the others.

Remember,  you can always download the drivers on a different computer and copy them to a flash drive.Thanks for your reply.

Like I said, "So I went to my other computer to go to dell website and put my tag number In an downloaded all the drivers to an external hard drive.
Putting the external hard drive In the laptop with problems thinking I could double click and Install the drivers. But get the message
Application download did not succeed, check your network connection, or contact your system administrator or network service provider."

I really am stuck here.I read what you said. And I said it should work and you should try again. The download process from the Dell Driver Download site should be very straightforward - I've done it literally dozens of times.I can not go online with the laptop In question so I have to go online with a different laptop and put the files on a flash drive but I still can not open It In my other laptop. I have been trying for over 11 hours to sort this out but am still banging my head on the wall.

Thanks for your reply.Okay, now I'm confused. First you say you're getting an error that says the download failed and now you're saying that you can't "open it in my other laptop".

Please explain EXACTLY what is going on. Thank you. Quote from: Allan on October 25, 2010, 04:22:23 PM

I am using Windows 2000 professional. I am trying to install a Kodak ESP 5210 all in ONE printer to it. It says printer driver not installed. How can I install a driver so I can get my new printer to work?Try this, down load and install the driver..http://support.en.kodak.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/17543According to the Kodak site there isn't a driver for Windows 2000 for this printer.As mroilfield has just pointed out it certainly seems that Kodak does NOT offer drivers for the printer for the win 2000 O/S.
However  i do have some alternative suggestions which i shall list below.However as I'm sure you REALIZE finding a modern all in one printer that will be compatible with that OLD O/S will be very difficult. Now if this is the printer you must keep and use with the computer you may have a few options. But my 1st suggestion is to RETURN the printer for a full refund. I do appreciate that leaves you without a printer. You may be able to find an older printer (perhaps not an all in one) that will work with your 2000 O/S. On your behalf i did a search for alternatives. One that may work (it is claimed to do so) is to install a LINUX o/s as a dual boot and use the printer with Linux. Another would be to  upgrade your current o/s to a version of Win XP (if your computer is capable). I found a reference from a senior EXECUTIVE of KODAK that stated that Kodak printers were not currently able to function with LINUX BUT he seemed to be referring to Kodak 9xxx printers only.

For what it may be worth my wife is using a Brother MFC-465CN all in one printer with  Windows ME (which is even older than 2000) so that might be an option. I should caution you about that printer it is notorious for print head problems and in fact we have NEVER been able yet to get the magenta  colour to print (and it certainly appears to be the magenta print head). Hope something here will help you to solve your problem. truenorthThanks truenorth. I think I will just take it back for a refund. From everything you have told me this seems to be the best option. Thank you so much for your help. Have a great New Year.You are very welcome and all the best in 2011 to you also,truenorth

Makes no difference whatsoever.

Before upgrading a video DRIVER don't you generally uninstall the old one? And you don't remove the video card, correct?I believe he's upgrading his video card, not just the driver.  It sounds like he just put the new card in without uninstalling the old drivers before doing so, and then installed the new software.  He also says windows is saying he has his old video card in after he put the new one in.

I'm just going by what he's saying, and it sounds like there are some details left out. Quote from: OpenSource on October 26, 2010, 02:51:33 PM

You do not need to remove your graphics card to uninstall the drivers. Let's start at the beginning

Uninstall the nvidia driver. Go to the ATI Website and download the LATEST driver for your new video card. Install that driver.

I'm not sure what else you have done, but that's all you should have to do.

I'm not sure what else you have done, but that's all you should have to do.

(assuming you have onboard video);

1) Take out your new graphics card.
2) Uninstall the Nvidia drivers.
3) Reboot.
4) Make sure the Nvidia drivers are GONE.  You may have to run Ccleaner on your registry.
5) Turn off computer.
6) Install the graphics card.
7) Turn computer on.  Run the ATI all-in-one driver package.

If you don't have onboard video, TRY uninstalling the Nvidia drivers.

when i got the new video card all i did was just plug it in. I never installed any drivers or anything. I bought a new computer game and went to play it and its not working so I had my friend take a look at my comp to see why and he said that my computer is saying that I have a nvidia Geforce video card and not the radeon 9800 from ATI.

Recently one of my older computers in my house started to act up. It started freezing and then eventually it started to show the blue screen of death with a "NVLDDMKM.sys" error (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/179/461991088_a4143c3298.jpg). This computer has had Windows 7 for a year now (before it was running Windows XP with no problems).

I tried to reformat installing Windows 7, but the same error appeared. So then FORMATTED to Windows XP and everything RUNS fine now, except that every time i try to install ANY Nvidia drivers, I get the BSOD error. Basically, the computer is running without the video card and it's really choppy without it. If I do install any drivers, I can only go in safe mode.

Any suggestions how on to fix this? I've posted this on the Nvidia forums as well.

Specs:
------
OS: Windows XP (SP3)
Motherboard: ASUS M2NPV-VM (Socket AM2 940)
Video card: 3D Fuzion Geforce 7600 GT
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+ (2.31 GHz)
RAM: 2 GB DDR2
Are you using the CD that came with the card to install the drivers?

Are you using the CD that came with the card to install the drivers?
Did you get the error during the install?
In safe mode, are there any errors in device manager?

What have you added or removed before the BSOD?
What type  card are you using?
It appears you have upgraded from XP to Win7, if so and you have reformatted the drive, you will always get the BSOD. All upgrades look for a pervious OS or product version.   
The NVIDIA site has many drivers to include for Windows 98?  Please keep us posted.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

hello everyone.....i am having a problem finding my cd drive...when i click on my computer i only get a: for floppy disk and c: for my hardrive...i do not see and cannot find what i think would be the d: cd drive.....please help....Windows can't find it either so it's either disconnected, malfunctioning or dead.

2x3i5x.. Good post has saved my ? many times. Thanks

I have HP AMD Althlon 64 Processor. Windows XP professional Version 2002 Service Pack 3.
 In Device Manager: Other dievice\Unknown device.
System information: Device:not available. PNP Device ID: ACPI\AWY0001\2&DABA3FF&0
Error Code: The drivers for this divice are not installed.
I do not see any troubles with the hardware.
Do I need to worry about this issue?
Thank you for help.

Alex
If everything works fine, I wouldn't worry too much.
If you're curious, what that thing is....

1.  Open Device Manager (Control Panel>System>Hardware>Device Manager)
   2. The hardware whose drivers are missing will appear as Unknown device, so it's easier to locate the device.
   3. Right click on the unknown device and click on Properties.
   4. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and SELECT Device Instance Id (or Device Instance Path) from the drop down box.
   5. You should see a code similar to this

      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
      &REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0

   6. The portion of the code highlighted in RED is the Vendor ID and the portion highlighted in GREEN is the Device ID. In this example:

      Vendor ID = 8086
      Device ID = 27DC

   7. Once you have obtained both the IDs, proceed to PCI Database. There you can either search for the vendor from the vendor ID or directly get information about the device along with the vendor name by searching with the device ID.

   8. Then from there you can GO directly to the hardware manufactureres website and get the driver.Thank you. The information of  Device instant ID : ACPI\AWY0001\2&DABA3FF&0
I could not find vendor name and Device id. from this information.
All the best, AlexshikIt looks like "AMD AwayMode ACPI Device driver", whatever it MEANS....LOL
See here: http://members.driverguide.com/driver/detail.php?driverid=1217053I had a HP a1600n PC that had Windows XP Media Center on it and I reformatted with XP Pro and then it was giving me a Unknown Device in the Device Manager and I finally resolved the issue by going to this link-


http://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...xe/AMDLive.zip


Save the zip file and then open the AMDLive Folder then the AMDAway Folder then run Setup.

This will run the AMDAway INF Installation Wizard and will resolve the conflict in the Device Manager and then you should see under Processors:

 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 DUAL Core Processors

Hope this helps...

I have been attempting to get my computer back up and running after quite some downtime..
I recently installed a local hard drive and completed the initial boot up and re-installation of Windows XP, and proceeded to DOWNLOAD and install recommended automatic Windows Updates.  After the last of a few mandatory reboots it failed to find/detec a local hard drive to boot from.  I have three total hard drives I've been attempting to install/format/boot up with no luck, which leads me to believe I have either a IDE cable PROBLEM, a mobo connection problem, a mobo problem, or any combination of the above, while certainly not ruling out any other possibilities not yet considered...Find the 1 HDD with the last succesful Win install on it...
Remove all other drives...
Use a BRAND new IDE cable...

If this works it was either the cable or your jumpering scheme with multiple drives was askew...

PS...I doubt its the MBoard...but i could be wrong.FYI - When attempting this recovery I have only had 1 HDD in at a time (with jumper settings open, no cap)
I will try replacing the IDE cable first (cheapest).. what is my next plan of ATTACK if it is not the IDE cable?Look in your BIOS and see if your HDD RAID configuration is set to AHCI or compatible.  You want to set it to 'compatible'.Stop insisting everyone with drive issues has a RAID setup...
You're losing credibility very rapidly here. Quote from: patio on October 26, 2010, 07:27:28 PM

On the other hand, since they are Using PATA and not SATA that sort of blows that out of the water. AHCI is specific to SATA controllers, and is not present with PATA/EIDE controllers/devices.

Most motherboards have both an IDE and a SATA controller.  If AHCI is switched on, it usually causes me problems with XP recognizing the drive.

I have 2 out of 4 POSSIBLE network adaptors that have drivers issues, but the 2 Wan Miniports {SSTP}/Network MONITOR adaptors went bad after being re-enabled  recently after 6 mths being dis-enabled off . Tried to use  manual & automatic, updating,unistalling many times ,but received  the same error code 31 !  SOON I WANT to connect together my first Home Network hub for my 2 desktop PCs , but I'm guessing I might need one of the 2 Wan miniport adaptors operational in case? Mavell Gigabit ethernet controller & an isatap adaptor are the other 2 that could be CHOOSEN, but I really do not know for sure which one Network adaptor I need for the Linksys Hub to fuction correctly ?

Hi people,

I got 2 questions to ask


1. Is every computer tower HARD driver is same? ( I don't mean the GB I mean like the size the hard drive only for computer tower)
2. Can use 2 hard drive on one computer tower?
3. Can i use those RAM for a computer tower?






Your asking about hard drives...and showing pics of RAM modules.

Hard drives are far more universal than RAM...
Most if not all HDD's will work on every system...
This is not true of RAM however,"Your asking about hard drives...and showing pics of RAM modules."

what is wrong with that?

anyway thank you for your help.

creative labs  ct4780  its an OLDER pc I play with it has win 7 hard to get DRIVER  Okay.This is very old sound card, but you can TRY this: http://forums.creative.com/t5/Sound-Blaster/SB-P17X-Series-Support-Pack-2-6-OUTDATED-AudigySE-Value-LS/m-p/551577

Wanting to buy current version of a 11.4" or 12.1" laptop . They all seem to come with Win7 64.bit OS. I saw several review/forum references that some of these 64-bit Window OS's would not boot 32-bit XP when installed, and that it was DUE to what BIOS options the laptop manufacturer chose to provide, and that the manufacturer would not provide a change. I want 32-bit XP so that I can use a workable driver for some legacy hardware that is not too OLD (HP Color LaserJet multifunction printer, CM1017 MFP). HP states they will not make a Win7 driver, and the Vista one did not work well. Would like to take off the Win7, install XP and then install Win7 in a multibood or in a virtual machine configuration. Now my questions, how to I find out if a computer for sale will boot 32-bit and/or how to contact mfg. support. I have really spent a lot of time trying to do this and will appreciate any help. I'm leaning toward one of the Acers.How are you going to buy your computer? Directly from the factory? Or from a distributor in your country?
Have you tried to e-mail directly to all the major manufactures of Laptop PCs to find out if this this is a problem on their machines? Can you please repeat exactly what Laptops that you know about that have the problem. You mention HP. But HP is currently having ISSUES with some printer drivers. Are you going the let this issue determine which PC you will buy?

HP Color Laser Jet multifunction printer
That covers a lot of ground. Sme are over $5,000 and some are under $200. IMHO, if you have an expensive printer without 64 bit drivers, you soused just stick with a 32 bit system until you have a compelling reason to switch. Eventually they will release 64 bit drivers.
The issue with a new computer is the manufacturer may not provide or have available 32-bit WinXP drivers.   The issue is not with the BIOS, but with the drivers.  There may just not be WinXP support for the computer you want. Quote from: CyberD on December 25, 2010, 05:34:24 PM

Would like to take off the Win7, install XP and then install Win7 in a multibood or in a virtual machine configuration.

My understanding of virtual machines is that the OS that is the basic one and in which
the virtual machine software is the only printer driver that can be used.

software in the XP machine would be using the 64-bit printer of the 64-bit OS.

Now with Win7 32-bit Home Premium installed, MS says that virtual machines may only be installed on Win7  Professional or Ultimate.

What is wrong with the PAGE? specifics, people. Just take a look at it's WOT scorecard:

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/alter.org.ua

Nobody removed links to the Generic Mass storage drivers for Win98SE I linked to. These aren't really that much different.

On the other hand, it's best to go with manufacturer drivers, if they exist- for best performance. Usually the SATA drivers are part of the chipset driver, which you should install anyway.

It is Google that has an issue with web sites in the Ukraine.

i have installed windows 7 in dell studio 15..

n with time my audio n graphics drivers get corrupted...

i TRIED n used windows 7 UPDATE advisor it says that windows 7 can b installed..
is it a problm with ma laptop or its hapenning with many?I don't follow your POST. After installing Windows 7 did you install the Windows 7 drivers for everything (chipset, VIDEO, sound)?

I run WinOS Vista and my laptop decided it WANTED to uninstall the sound card... I've tried reinstalling the drivers thru the recovery manager, i've tried drivers from the INTERNET, and even USING the disk i got with the computer, but nothing so far has helped.

My SCHOOL's ITT services tried fixing it, but they managed to install an "uninstallable" VERSION of ac3 filter in my control panel... thats about it...

any ideas or help?A laptop cannot and will not to "decide" to uninstall something...it just doesn;t happen...
Travel to the laptop manuf, site and DLoad and re-install the appropiate drivers for the machine.Please let me know the serial number of your HP Notebook, also the Product number of it if you have it.

Also go to device manager and provide the device/Hardware instanace ID of the sound card listed.

We will try to find out why it is causing this issue.

Hi  I have a ThinkCentre IBM  8249 RUT   S50  with Windows XP Professional SP3 and I am looking for a DRIVER for the internal TEAC 3 1/2 floppy diskette drive .    Thank you . XP should have floppy drivers built in...try removing it in Device Manager and re-booting....
XP will re-install it auto-like.Hi I removed it with Device Manager and XP did re install and get same message , insert DISK , even when disk is in .  That has nothing to do with "drivers". Sounds like either the drive or the disk may be bad. To check the drive, insert a bootable disk and make sure the floppy drive is at the top of the bios boot order, and reboot. Does the system boot to the floppy? Quote from: Allan on November 12, 2010, 04:30:10 PM

  Hi  , I tryed that earlier , it does boot to a floppy .  When I put in another disk , it asks for a disk .   I have tryed the disks in other computers with a 3 1/2 floppy drive and they work .

Sounds like your floppy drive heads are misaligned. (did you make the  boot floppy with the "trouble" drive?)

Install the chipset driver. Reboot. Install the audio driver(s). Then install any drivers where there are still exclamation marks in device manager.Now with the ones that say windows.. Will downloading these fix that also. Are they connected? Or do I need to get them from the windows website. there are quite a few things that went into yellowI don't understand what you're talking about.Not only are the Realtek audio DEVICES in yellow but so are some that say Windows. Last night I was trying to search on the Windows website for drivers also. But not sure if I was doing this RIGHT thing. There are a few others but I am not sure which ones are neededAre you looking in device manager? Is that all the items say - "Windows"?Microsoft WINMM WDM Audio Compat. driver..... Realtek High Def Audio. those are the ones in yellow. But there has been times when there are more. Also in hidden in the non-plug and PLAY drivers. ( adfs... AMPSE.....Serial) are with yellow exclamation marksAlso TWICE we have tried to download realtek and it is getting stuck about half way in, making his comp freeze
Finally got realtek downloaded and the chipset driver. Still in yellow. I dont know what we are missing. Do we need the LAN driver? Or any others.

Here is a list of errors from system information. These are the things that are having the problems. HELP PLZ... I didn't ask about system information. I asked about device manager.We called Microsoft. There are three drivers in the list I posted that shouldnt be there. The guy said meaning those are the viruses hidden in the drivers. He said we have to do a full wipe on it because trying to actually find them would take a long time. And yes. We were looking in device manager. All those listed were in yellow.
Okay. Thanks for the update and good LUCK. Let us know how things work out.

Hi,
I have a VERY old Sony VAIO desktop computer that I have souped up a bit over the years by adding RAM and some video cards.  It is running a program I use for trading stocks very poorly that it used to run just fine with no particular changes to the software.  I have never updated the drivers to my computers or monitors and I want to check if I have all of my drivers updated as they should be.  What is the best way of going about this?
I ran aautodetect driver update scanner and it found several outdated drivers.  The software is not at all user friendly.  I don't have any of my original software unfortunately.
I SEARCHED through the FORUMS and all I found was answers like go to the OEM. Well, that was so confusing as I don't even know where to start! I want to check the drivers to the following items on my computer:
My monitors
My graphic cards
My ethernet and other internet related items as my connection is LAGGING during high traffic times.
Please help
Thanks so much in advance Quote

Hi,

Sorry, no idea but i should say to take assistance of some good technician.

I have a Dell Inspiron 1545 and i can't seem to find my recovery discs. Is there any way i could get another disc.Contact DellDell allows users to order 1 (one) set of recovery disks, so if you do get a set of disks shipped to you, be sure you KEEP them in a safe place, because you won't get any more. After you get the disks,  if your computer is more than about 1 year old, you might need to go to the Dell Driver Download Page to get the latest DRIVERS. To order the recovery disks from Dell, have your service tag number (located on the back of your computer) ready and proceed to the Dell Recovery Disk Order Page and fill out the request form.

You may be able to create them yourself: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/document?c=us&l=en&s=gen&docid=62A668E1C399857AE040AE0AB8E12942Good find, Broni!!Hi,

My problem is that when i go to the dell WEBPAGE or the alienware webpage all their system CONFIGURATIONS that have a 790i mobo support crossfire and sli, how did they do this? Ive heard something about hacked drivers but i dont know anything about them..... Would it be a dell bios update or are they using a edited 790i chipset? Please some1 help i really wanna use crossfire on my mobo. Thank youoh and BTW my specs are

Not SURE what PC it is, I'll find out this afternoon but it's running XP, Service Pack 2 and as I connect to an Orange Livebox directly from router to pc I don't get any established CONNECTION. When I go to Control Panel>Network Connection, all I have is a BROADBAND connection, No LAN and I presume this is back I formatted it to shop standard a while back as it was riddled with viruses. When I click connect to broadband I get Username and Password which I presume I can aquire from Orange but I don't MIND always using a wired connection.

Any help much appreciated,

Do a quick glance in Device Manager for any Yellow !! or ??'s...

Hi i have an acer aspire 5610 tht the HDD crashed on a while ago. I put an XP HDD in it but now i need all the drivers before i can run the net on it. I don't  have the disc and I cant burn one as I'm using a netbook, I tried downloading them from the acer site ONTO a usb but they are only system files that i cant open. please help!!!PUNCTUATION!!SORRY
WELL please fix the first post so we can understand it. I, for one, cannot. Thanks.Hope you find that easier to read.Okay, thank you. If I understand correctly you put in a new HD and installed XP, and now you need the drivers (CORRECT me if that's not right). You've downloaded the drivers, they are on a usb drive, and you don't know how to proceed - good so far?

You say they are "system files". What does that mean? Post the FULL file names of some of the drivers please.Well first I thought I would start by downloading the LAN driver. I downloaded it and it was a ZIP file called Lan_Broadcom(5787)_9.25.0.0_XPx86. So I extracted it and there were 3 files b57wn32 which is a security catalog, B57xp32 which was a system file, and b57win32 which was setup information.It appears these are the drivers you want (http://gd.panam.acer.com/home/). Download them and install them, starting with the chipset driver. If you have problems post back.
