Solve : HP Pavillion dv3 with no drivers apart from Windows 10?? |
|
Answer» I have a Hp Pavillion dv3 205oea and have just done a reinstall of Windows 10 on it. The problem is I cannot find any drivers for it anywhere, so I'm wonder if it will be ok to run it with just the Windows 10 drivers it installed? The Windows 10 64bit DISPLAY driver was my main concern and the chipset drivers, but like I said I can't find them anywhere. Thanks!Do you have an Internet connection? While it's likely you already have the most RECENT driver, if you're having trouble with a device, you can TRY fixing it by updating the driver or reinstalling it. Here's how:Did you try that already?Quote from: Geek-9pm on May 03, 2016, 02:31:22 PM Do you have an Internet connection? I do have an internet question. I never knew Windows 10 installs all the drivers you need, I thought I would have to use the manufacture drivers. I don't have any yellow exclamation marks in device manager though.As the article suggests, Windows now does most of it automatically. You can try and see if Windows will find a better driver. Are you having any trouble? Does the graphic device work good? Did you run some graphic benchmarks? This is popular for testing a video card performance. http://www.3dmark.com/ EDIT: Don't buy anything. Try the free ones first. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-free-benchmark-programs/ I have a 1920 x 1080 screen I plug into my laptop, but it only displays at the same lower Resolution as the laptop. That's the only problem I'm having, but I can live with it. |

Solve : laptops updated to Windows 10 and now scrolling doesn't work on either of them.? |
|
Answer» Updated HP Pavillion HDX and Acer Aspire 6935 to Windows 10 and scrolling doesn't work. Both computers are 'old' but work perfectly as well as being deemed suitable for Windows 10 but a real pain without scrolling. Neither manufacturer have drivers for Windows 10 for these models. Pad works fine, just the scrolling not working. Any ideas?I have the same problem with my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. I've tried installing drivers for DIFFERENT Dell Inspiron models that are Windows 10 SUPPORTED with no success. I've even tried installing drivers intended for different brand (eg Lenovo, HP, etc.), Windows 10 supported laptops with no success. If you find a solution please let me know so I can try it on my machine.There is an option to roll back the update and restore your computer to its previous state. To access this, open the Start menu and select Settings. Click the “Update & security” icon and select “Recovery.” You should see a “Go back to Windows 7” or “Go back to Windows 8.1” option. Click the Get started button to get rid of your Windows 10 install and restore your previous Windows instal.l I don't want to rollback / restore my computer to Win 7. I want to run Win 10 but the mouse driver available from Dell was originally intended to use with Win Vista (the original OS of this computer from the factory) won't install with Windows 10. See attachment: [attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Contact Dell and see if they have AUTHORED Win 10 drivers...I found one. This driver works fine. It's intended for Windows XP, Vista and 7 but it installed on my PC running Win 10 and the scroll function works fine. http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R311554 |

Solve : Cool Classic Machine? |
|
Answer» Greetings! I'll look around for you...in the meantime i suggest tryin the Win2K drivers....they should work. so far All ive been able to find is the Nvidia driver for the win2k but it gave me an error in windows 98. Quote from: BC_Programmer on May 27, 2016, 11:34:28 PM Motherboard: Thanks Patio. That driver is the system driver i presume? I was able to find drivers using DriverGuide. GRANTED it was suspicious but i used a VM of Vista i have (i know Vista hehe but it was the only Retail key i had free) The installer downloaded a "Nvidia all in one" i presume now is what you offered me. Everything installed aside from Audio, GPU and the RAID. I managed to get it all working aside from the RAID which im not really interested in using anyways right now. As for the 512mb Ram issue, I will try what youre suggesting, though lately all my 98 builds have had 512mb (i was told that was the max without issues) and have had no real problems aside from the usual driver issues, and finding suitable windows 98 SE drivers. |

Solve : USB not recognized with flash drive only? |
|
Answer» Just for clarification...FRONT or rear USB ports being used ? ?Ok, it just got finished running and restarted the computer and still have same issue, ? They are the front USB but I plugged into the rear USB and get the same USB not recongnized. What next?Plug one into the PC they work on... I've just never heard of anything like this problem before. I'm following this thread with great interest. You too eh?Ok the only USB device I had plugged up was the printer and I unplugged it. Now in device manager I have: Universal Serial Bus controller 1. SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller 2. SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller 3. SiS 7001 PCI to USB Open Host Controller 4. SiS PCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller 5. USB Mass Storage Device 6. USB root hub 7. USB root hub 8. USB root hub 9. USB root hub Again there is nothing plugged into any USB port keyboard and mouse are on PS/2 ports. Which of the above items should I go in and un-install and does the list above look correct with nothing plugged in?5 thru 9.... Remember to clik on them to expand them as well and remove all the entries...Ok, I un-installed 5 through 9 and restarted the system. When it came back up I got some error CODES. I don't know if they are important but here is what they are. BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: 00000000 BCP3: F7A08A18 BCP4: F7A08714 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 2_0 PROD: 768_1 C\DOCUMEN~1\COMPAQ~1LOCALS~1\Temp\\WERcebe.dir00\Mini111309-01.dmp C\DOCUMEN~1\COMPAQ~1LOCALS~1\Temp\\WERcebe.dir00\sysdata.xml Got past those and plugged in the USB and I restarted the computer and plugged the flashdrive and it stated "new hardware found" Then it stated "USB might not be configured" I think, because it went by so fast. Then it stated "USB device not recognized" again. |

Solve : Windows has stopped this Device Code 43? |
|
Answer» Greetings! Are you using Windows XP or Windows 10? I was using Windows 10. Not sure where XP came from as there was no mention about it. The machine was running Vista. As usual i will explain what my findings where. Turns out something is up with the motherboard and for some reason or another when the machine has all 4 ram slots FILLED up the GPU and AUDIO go funky. Ie the GPU EITHER being onboard or in the PCI-E slot WONT load its driver, and the Audio WOULD make weird screaming sounds whenever the machine logged in or out ie outputted sound. I presume a northbridge issue, im not sure. Sadly I am not that skilled. Since the motherboard was already posing issues the owner of the machine was suggested a newer model. I appreciate your help as this computer posed many problems through a few posts. |

Solve : Device manager yellow flags? |
|
Answer» Hello fellas, new guy here. I own a Lenovo z50-75 laptop FX-7500, R7-M260DX running on Windows 10. The problem I get when I safe boot in device manager is the one showing in the attached image. Also, when I restart my laptop, I get the window showed in the other image, and my screen flashes black for about 10 seconds and then its all fine until the next time I restart it. In addition to that, today when it happened all usb ports and the ethernet port were not working at all, until I restarted for another time. Device manager says all drivers are up to date, and I havent found anything regarding this issue in Lenovo's support website. Thanks in advance for your help. Did this system come with 10 or did you upgrade to 10 from 7 or 8?It came with 8.1 and I upgraded to 10 myself. After the upgrade, I reinstalled all the drivers availiable at the Lenovo support site to MAKE sure everything was compatible with 10. And to be honest I didnt have any problems with 10 since I upgraded, this issue came up much after that. As for the Primary IM Controller, I understand that it does no harm for me to unistall it since its not working properly. But what about the Generic PnP monitor? I have never plugged any other monitor on my laptopQuote from: patio on May 27, 2016, 11:06:49 AM Well there was one plugged at some point as it's showing there...Well I never had a monitor in my LIFE to start with ... And I bought it from a retail shop, Driver CD was not includedThen in that case it's safe to remove/uninstall the plug and play monitor.... The IM controller however is neccessary...re-visit the Lenovo site to see if they list it.The Monitor likely refers to the laptop screen. Usually it shows more 'fully'; eg. my Thinkpad shows "Wide viewing angle & High density FlexView Display". It may be as Dave mentioned that the Graphics Chip driver isn't installed. I've been trying to look into what the "Primary iM Controller" does. Best I can figure is it is "Independent Multicast". It looks like it does something with hardware information as it has a few other "info" dlls that appear to retrieve hardware information. It may be PART of the "Customer Engagement" Service. It's also shown in Device Manager on my Thinkpad T550. Quote Device manager says all drivers are up to dateDevice Manager says a device is up to date if it cannot FIND a new version on the Windows Update site. It can't be trusted as actually telling you there is no newer version. here is the driver page for that laptop. It looks like a new driver for the graphics chip was made available a few days ago. |

Solve : SAMSUNG TS-H492 drivers? |
|
Answer» My friend got a new computer and gave me his combo drive out of his computer, only he had lost the installation CD. Thinking I could find the drivers on the internet, I went ahead and installed it into my computer. But for whatever reason my computer does not recognize it. I'm not the best with computers, but I have updated my computer MANY times w/o any troubles. Could the reason my computer doesn't recognize it be because I have no drivers for it, or is it bad? He says it worked fine in his computer tho. I did find drivers off of SAMSUNG's site, but because my computer didn't think I had it installed, I couldn't install the drivers. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks.It probably is not jumpered correctly. If it is a second optical drive it should be jumpered as slave (jumpers are on the back, near where the data cable plugs in). It might have MA, SL and CS as options. You want SL. |

Solve : PCI multimedia audio device driver for windows 98? |
|
Answer» HI: I have an older desktop running windows 98 that I want to give to my kid to mess around on. However, the sound has quit working and it tells me that the driver for this DEVICE is not installed (code 28). I know I could just download this from somewhere but, this desktop does not have internet access (we have wi-fi). I want to use my windows XP latop to download the driver to a thumbnail drive and then transfer the download to the old desktop?? Is that possible. Most of the web-site I visited to try and download had software that "checked" your operating system to see what driver you NEEDED - but this is no good for me as it is for a different computer! Any ideas or suggestions as to where I can get this driver downloaded to a thumbnail drive would be GREATLY appreciated. Obviously, with such an old desktop, I do not want to spend a ton of cash to get the sound working! www.driverguide.com used to be free, and I think now its free for your FIRST 2 or 3 driver downloads after registering. I would burn the drivers to a CD as for USB for Windows 98 and Thumbdrives can be a pita to get them working, especially if Windows 98 is not SE.Is the audio on board or is it an expansion card? If it's on board, give us the brand and model of the computer. If it's a card give us the brand and model of card. |

Solve : Can I get my files from my old computer?? |
|
Answer» I had a desktop computer which shut down. My memory BOARD was broken. Now have a 9 inch tablet. Is there anyway I can retrieve my old files from my old computer? I know that my tablet doesn't have enough juice to retrieve all my old files but could my tablet handle a few files? Would it be better if I had a laptop?Simple answer is not. But wait, here is more to consider. Also, do you think that transferring files from an old computer to a laptop would be better considering a laptop has more room? Yes. Plus if you INVEST in an external HDD enclosure you can always utilise that HDD for extra storage...Would a Chromebook be ok as well?A Chromebook would work but they don't generally have much in the way of storage either. Regardless, you will need an enclosure for the hard drive from your old computer. What is the make and model of your old computer? Need that info in order to advise which external enclosure you would need. More than likely, you need an enclosure for a 2.5" SATA drive but, depending on how old that laptop is, it may be a PATA drive. |

Solve : ADSL link + telephones? |
|
Answer» There are 3 telephone wall plugs in this house. The one in the lounge has a ADSL router + filter + telephone. This works well. However, on occasions we wish to use the phone in the kitchen. Plugging it into the wall socket breaks the ADSL link. Is there some way we can get round this, perhaps by putting filters on the kitchen and bedroom phones?With ADSL you should have line filters on ALL phone jacks...whether they are being used or not.Maybe I was not clear. Normally there are no phones plugged into the kitchen or bedroom wall sockets. Occasionally we plug a phone into the kitchen one, the ADSL link is then broken. If I put line filters on the kitchen and bedroom filters can I leave them pugged in the whole time so we then have the 3 phones + ADSL working continually?The filters should be on all outlets...whether a phone is plugged into them or not is irrelevant...Patio, thanks for that comment. I had had problems with my ADSL connection some time ago so had sort the advice of the ISP technical advisers. They, at no time told me that all the phone outlets should have line filters. they just tole me that the ADSL would DROP out if I inserted a phone in one of the other outlets. I should have checked with other sources. It has been easy to find other sources once I STARTED LOOKING. Any way, thanks to you, I know what to do to get the working arrangement we were seeking. I will now procure 2 ADSL line filters.If you see a DSL service truck in the area just ask the driver...they hand 'em out like candy here...Quote from: patio on July 17, 2009, 07:46:47 AM With ADSL you should have line filters on ALL phone jacks...whether they are being used or not.patio, are you absolutely sure about this? It doesn't make sense that an unused wall phone jack without a line filter on it would cause problems. One reference, http://support.hubris.net/knowledge_base/013.html, simply says "Any cord that does not connect to your DSL modem should have a DSL filter on it." That implies that no filter would be needed on phone jack if nothing is connected it. I think I could conduct a test on this issue. It may not cause problems in itself, not having a filter on an unused jack, but what happens any time the original poster plugs in a phone? Loss of DSL service. More convenient, I think, to filter all the jacks, and not have to move a filter and a phone when necessary. The general advice I seem to remember is to filter all the phone jacks on the premise.Well, if you don't have that filter in the jack, you would be losing the ADSL signal (no internet then) and i you have the filter, the phone should work fine without internet loss. I have filters on all the wall jacks that I have a phone connected to and I have DSL internet and it works fine. I can call somebody and SURF the net at same time as it should be.Quote from: 2x3i5x on July 18, 2009, 12:08:13 PM Well, if you don't have that filter in the jack, you would be losing the ADSL signal ...Yes, that's true IF that jack is being used by a phone, FAX machine, etc. But, if it's not being used for anything, then not having a filter on it is not going to cause loss of the ADSL signal. But, Aegis makes a good point; it's a good reason to put filters on all jacks.I had issues when i first got it...incoming phone calls would cause the DSL signal to drop...all phones worked fine. After i located an empty jack and threw a filter on it the issue dissappeared.I was not aware until now that there were more posts on the subject. I had expected to be advised when there was a post.I did what was recommended and put filters on the phone outlets and the system now gives no problems. Thanks to those who provided the advice.Hmm, a reply after 4 months. Great. I gather you put filters on all phone jacks, even ones that are not being used if you have any. I'll say again that I do not have a filter on unused phone jacks at my residence and this does not cause a problem. And, logically, I see no reason why it would. The purpose of the filters is to filter out DSL "noise" which can degrade the quality of telephone conversation and interfere with use of some devices that use an analog signal such as fax machines. So, if a jack is not being used, then it does not need a filter. If other users find they need a filter on all phone jacks, including unused ones, I wish I knew the technical reason for that. Perhaps there's some technical difference in DSL/ADSL services or some technical difference in the way phone lines are installed in a building that would account for this. |

Yes, the integrated chipset has an NIC- but there are no Win7 drivers for it. But their third post mentions a "3com3c905c" Card. It was not clarified whether the adapter is installed in the system (A question I posed), but from what I was able to determine, it is an Ethernet adapter with Win7 drivers that could be used. I suspect if it is installed then at some stage it was installed to workaround the integrated chipset NIC having no driver for Vista or later. Of course since it would have been added on afterwards it would not be surprising for HP not to have those drivers on the support pages!Quote HP not to have those drivers on the support pages!Quote Correct I gave up on my win 7 install.The machine is too old to invest any $ on it so I just did a reinstall of vista.Its slow as heck but I dont use it for much anyway. Thanks all for trying to help.No, don't give up. A working machine with Windows 7 is an important resorces, even if something does not work well. You can fix for about $10.

Reguardless this machines hard drive has multiple hidden exsisting partitions and it needs to be wiped with a program that will eliminate them,suggestion? Quote Regardless this machines hard drive has multiple hidden existing partitions and it needs to be wiped with a program that will eliminate them,suggestion? I have used Linux distros before to delete stubborn partitions. Boot up a Linux Mint DVD or Thumb Drive and then in the live environment look at the hard drive and delete the partitions. Make the drive then have no partitions and then shutdown Linux Mint and boot of Windows installation disc. Windows wil treat the hard drive as if its brand new with no partitions. *Years ago I had a stubborn HP computer that wouldnt allow me to dump a protected partition for the system restore partition even with delpart. But Linux disk/drive MANAGEMENT deleted it with no problems. The system came with Windows Me on a Celeron 500Mhz and I did not need Windows Me to exist on the drive as for I bought XP for it and installed that, and wanted full use of my hard drive without the Windows Me restore partition wasted space. Back then I used Redhat to dump the partition which was more involved than modern day linux Mint. Other option might be this one, the free non commercial use edition, which might allow for you to delete these extra "hidden" partitions without destroying your windows installation. Back up any important data to an external storage before messing with any of this as for one wrong step and your data can be gone.: http://www.minitool.com/partition-manager/partition-wizard-home.html Sorry its been a while but this program how exactly does it work,will rease the data while the machine is on ,like you install the program,then it erases the partitions? |

Quote from: cintari on November 25, 2009, 12:32:11 PM For some reason games like left 4 dead or killing floor run fine but when I try to play games like prototype or fallout 3 my cpu basically dies.We need more information than that. What makes you think it's your CPU? It could be services/processes in the background that are interfering. Unless you help us we can't help you. |

Solve : Monitor won't display after I uninstalled video card drivers? |
|
Answer» There's a LOT to this story so I'll try to condense it as much as I can. A few days ago I was watching Netflix and my monitor suddenly went blank. I could still hear the show, so I unplugged and replugged the cords until it finally came on. This happened about 3 more times that day. The next day I turned on my computer and the monitor didn't come on. I did the same thing and it finally came on. It would go off randomly throughout the day just LIKE before. Now we get to today and the same thing happened l, except today I couldn't load any of the games I play. I tried to launch over watch and it told me my video card wasn't compatible. I tried to launch counter strike GLOBAL OFFENSIVE and it forced me to have the lowest settings possible. So I decided to update my drivers. I had been putting this off for some time just because everything seemed FINE. When the driver update would ask for permission from my computer my monitor would go blank and I would have to unplug and replug like before. If I tried to open task manager the monitor would go blank. A lot of the times when the monitor would go blank, icons would be moved around on my desktop and the programs already open, such as steam and battle net, would shrink. So anyways I was able to update my drivers and so I tried to open up over watch. Again nothing changed and my driver software says I still need to update. So I was browsing the Internet and someone had a detailed explanation on how to completely remove all graphic related drivers and reinstall them. So I decided to try this. I had to restart my computer to complete the first task which was simply uninstall the drivers. So I did and now no matter what I do nothing shows up on my monitor. |

Solve : missing/out of date driver updates? |
|
Answer» I have free AVG & GOT the message that i have missing/out of date DRIVERS . are all these free to download ? And what about something called GOOGLE Analytics opt-out browser add-ons ? Never heard of it before. should I add this add-on ? If no such thing as an 'out of date/missing driver', why the message about it ? Software can provide alerts and messages about anything it wants to. For whatever reason AVG (it seems) decided it would be a good idea to exploit people's lack of technical knowledge and trust of their software to try to market other components they sell. It cannot be a coincidence that AVG ALSO provides useless "Driver Updater" software. If there are no symbols in Device Manager, then you are not missing drivers; And as drivers do not have a best before date, they cannot go out of date, either. Quote And what is that Google Anayiltics opt-out browser ? If you want to opt out of Google Analytics Tracking, you install the browser add-on. |

Solve : cd/dvd driver missing?? |
|
Answer» I have purchased an asus laptop with WINDOWS 10 already installed. However, it seems no disc, cd or dvd, works. Any disc put in seems to spin for a moment, then it becomes quiet. I have noticed under device manager cd/dvd DRIVE does not appear and My Computer only lists local disc C. There is a pioneer dvd-rw dvrtd11rs under disk drives which says it's working properly. Something else I've noticed is when trying to use vlc player, the disc device has no LETTER selected and the MESSAGES your input cannot be opened and can't open mrl dvd appear. Is there a way to fix this or do I have to DOWNLOAD a cd/dvd driver? If so, what's the best way?Is this a new or used laptop ? ? |

Solve : My computer won't acknowledge the DVD drive? |
|
Answer» I have an HP ENVY x360 that uses Windows 10 64-bit. For the last three months I've used an external DVD drive and the DVD Player app to watch movies without any difficulty. However, when I inserted a DVD earlier today, the little message asking me what I want to do didn't pop up. The DVD spun for a MINUTE and then stopped. When I PULLED up DVD Player, it acted like I hadn't inserted the DVD. File Explorer doesn't acknowledge the DVD drive. What should I do?Did you try a different disc. Some are protected from piracy and dont PLAY on computers.I did, but the computer didn't recognize that one either. Anyway, the first disc worked yesterday, so I don't think that's the case.You can try a drive cleaning disc. It spins up and cleans the eye inside that reads the reflected laser beam off the disc. You can also try the drive on a different system to make sure its the drive and not a driver issue with the system connecting to it since its an external drive. The good thing is that external USB drives are pretty cheap these days, around $20 if you had to REPLACE it. |
