Solve : Problem with GeForce 6800 GS video card driver??

Answer»

Alright, BACK to posting.
Super Dave, i tried that and unfortunately nothing... Now I didn't have SP3 installed, somehow i missed that, that shouldn't effect anything though.? Still, i do plan on getting that up to date and trying again.

Along those lines: i realised i didn't have my system up to date so i installed the 98 (or such) priority updates i needed. I then downloaded the DRIVER that windows update suggested for it. Same results.

Good point spacecat9, but that's an issue i discovered who knows how long ago. At this point i do have a 550w psu in there. One interesting thing that this does bring up, though, is that, if i remember correctly, it actually worked when I had the lower grade psu in there. It's possible i still didn't have the driver installed at that point, and it could have to do with the driver that was running at that point and what my system was set up as, who knows. Just SOMETHING i thought i should bring up incase sp3 doesn't do it for me.where can i download software for free.


please !!!!help me!!!!!!!!!Service pack 3 didn't make a DIFFERENCE... same problem.

I remembered something else that could be connected. It's really its own problem, but i thought i should CHECK if it could be causing this problem as well before i abandoned this topic.

For whatever reason i can only use one of my two RAM slots. It's not that only one of the two work... it's that only one slot can be used at a time. I've tried different ram cards and know that's not the problem.

I won't go two much into detail, i'll make this it's own topic if i need to.

I just wanted to know if this might be connected?

Solve : VGA Device?

Answer»

Hey,

Right, at least the problems on my PC are now little annoying ones rather than large damaging ones I've been having a few issues with my VGA device and the drivers. I was hoping I could get a few bits of INFO to help me out.

Firstly, how would I go about determining what my VGA device actually is? DLoad; install and run Everest Home...

Solve : DVD drive not showing up on My Computer, cannot load any disks. :(?

Answer» THE PROBLEM
Okay, so I've had this problem for a while. Basically, my laptop won't read any DVDS, software, CDs, etc. I PUT the disk in the drive and I can HEAR it running like its going to start up, but nothing happens.

There is no drive for it on "My Computer" so I can't ACCESS it manually. Sooo, it won't autoplay and it can't be run manually. What do I do?

I already checked out DEVICE management and it says the device is running fine. Not sure where I go from here.


INFO:

Manufacturer: HP
Model: HP Pavilion dv2700 Notebook PC
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo PCU T5750 @ 2.00GHz
System Type: 64-bit Operating System

The disk drive is the Toshiba MK3252GSXTour problem is with the DVD drive, not the Hard disk drive.
If this is under WARRANTY, take advantage of it now.
Otherwise, you may need a new DVD drive.
Does the drive show up in BIOS?Insert a BOOTABLE cd and reboot. Does the system boot to the cd?

Solve : Asus M3A32-MPV Deluxe?

Answer»

Asus seem to have denied all knowledge of creating this motherboard: Asus M3A32-MPV DELUXE. I can't say that I blame them, this board was SHIPPED out with many manufacturing defects but was removing the drivers from their website necessary? Anyway, I still have the original CD that the mobo came with (joy, out of date drivers) but it only contains 32-bit drivers. Is there a world wide petition to ban "driver detective" programs? I wish to sign one.When ASUS comes out with a line of boards that are mainly marketed to white box builders they usually do this...

I did 2 identical eMachines this time last YEAR and could find little or no support/documentation on the board at both ASUS and the eMachines sites...Finally found 64-bit drivers. They were on the motherboard installation CD, which I only checked to find out the name of the sound CARD. Apparently ASUS are retards and forgot to include 64-bit compatibility for the auto run program on the disc. Anyway now I get random crackles and pops from the speakers, like when opening certain folders (i.e. My Videos). Any ideas why? Other than the fact that I'm using an UNSUPPORTED OS (Win7).

Its almost the same... Hoping for your quick response. Thanks in advance!And oh, after doing what also patio did.. after i installed the driver it ses unable to start... somthing like "code 10"I see you have a realtek AC '97 audio, you can get the drivers here and when if there's a box to click AGREE to the above, check mark the box and then click next to get to the place to download the files.

Maybe you already did it, but here it is anyway.... Those are codecs...not drivers.ASRock 775i65GV sound driver: http://www.asrock.com/mb/download.asp?Model=775i65gvQuote from: patio on September 16, 2009, 07:39:05 PM

Those are codecs...not drivers.

well I got AC'97 audio on my computer and that's what I installed to get the sound working after doing a complete format and reinstallation of windows.
.
The description provided on website for the downloads say they are drivers.

But whatever is appropriate to get the NovicePCMAN's problem solved is most important.

Solve : Recovering files from my USB stick?

Answer»

Hi all,

Last night i was copying files from my USB stick to my computer but mid-way my computer crashed. Now when I plug in my memory stick and try and OPEN it a message appears telling me that it needs to be reformatted before it can be opened. It also says that by agreeing to do this all DATA will be deleted from it.
Is there any way i can recover the files I have on the memory stick?

Thank you to anybody for your help & sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not great with computers.

Nick.try uysing REST2514 to restore the files from your memory stick.

Quote

Using REST2514 to recover deleted files from flash memory devices

This tool will search any NTFS or FAT32 drive and recover a list of deleted files that can be restored.




A list of deleted files is created. To restore one or more files, highlight them and click 'restore by copying' then choose a target directory. Note that the file name you are looking for may have its first letter overwritten by a '$' symbol, as this is the symbol appended to a file by the operating system when it is deleted.

If the file you want is not in the list, try searching again with the 'include used clusters by other files' OPTION checked. This will include files which have been partially overwritten in the list. Note that this may well mean that your file will be CORRUPTED or unreadable.
Sorry, just to check. I should reformat the memory stick and then search for the deleted files??hold on a second, do you have a second pc or something to check your USB stick on to see if it goes directly to asking you to format or whether it cna read the files from the flash drive normally?

If another computer can read the files off, then you can just back it up there. Else I think you can only reformat and attempt recovery.

Did you have important files saved onto that flash drive?I have tried it on another computer and there is also just goes STRAIGHT to formatting.

I do have important files on it and realled need to avoid losing them.

Any advice is appreciated.

Solve : I need help with my card reader?

Answer»

I have a Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905 laptop. It has Windows Vista on it. The card reader has quit again.
It's done this before and I just uninstalled it and then downloaded and installed the Ricoh Driver from Toshiba's website and that fixed it right up.

This time though it's not working. Here's the confusing part. When I download the Ricoh Driver and Open it it shows it's extracting the Ricoh Card Reader Driver which is good. Then the next screen says Welcome to the Logix Pro 500 Simulator SETUP Wizard.

Now Logix Pro is my dh's PLC/electrical PROGRAM. Why are these getting CROSSED over? What can I do to fix my reader?

What site are you getting the drivers from ? ?I figured it out. It seems it's a glitch with Firefox. I'm downloading it directly from Toshiba and I just downloaded it with IE and it works perfectly now.

How aggravating. I've spent over an hour trying to download this darn thing. I seriously doubt it was FireFox's fault here...

Solve : Apple laptops vs. PC laptops??

Answer»

Hello all. I would LIKE some feedback on this.

I have seen so many comparisons about a Mac Book Pro and non-Apple laptops.

It would seem to me that IF you did configure a Windows based laptop with everything a Mac Book Pro has the Windows based laptop is a little less expensive.

My view on this is that with a non-Apple laptop you have greater choice. You don't need to buy a Cadillac when all you need is a Chevrolet.

Yes I can spend $3000 on a non-Apple laptop if I need that level of ability or I can spend $700 for a more basic machine. I have the choice.

Also the myth that Apple users are some how smarter than Windows users. I think the average Apple user is just as dumb as the average PC user.
messageHello to all
Is there a question her?
If you have a Apple and don't like it...
send it to me and I will pay the postage. So,,,where's the dilemna ? ?A little less? Try a lot less
Unless your rich and money means nothing to you...ACTUALLY the average Mac user isn't smarter, just has a bigger EGO because they are part of an exclusive club. And of course because of spending so much on it they just HAVE to flout how much better they are then everybody. Do something on your windows machine and they'll say how much easier it is with theirs.

"see, so to get a administrator terminal, I just type cmd into the search box, press the application key, and select run as administrator!"

"Oh yeah, well in MINE, I just.... what's terminal?"Quote

what's terminal?"

Let me guess. In another three year Windows XP will no longer be an option ANYWHERE in the world because it is terminal.


But Apple OS ten will still be around.Quote from: Geek-9pm on September 15, 2009, 10:54:01 PM

Solve : Yet another user with a sound problem?

Answer»

I've downloaded and installed stuff from the nVidia site but to no avail....

EDIT - That is to say, all the drivers I've found are for display and suchlike.Quote from: KazzyTI on August 22, 2009, 11:47:17 AM

I've downloaded and installed stuff from the nVidia site but to no avail....

EDIT - That is to say, all the drivers I've found are for display and suchlike.

You can find the other drivers that you will need at the Asus site. I would suggest using the 'Asus Navigation Wizard'.The Navigation Wizard isn't working for me in either Firefox, IE or Opera....

I've also SCOURED the site and downloaded what I thought were the appropriate drivers but they have not worked either.Have you managed to solve this or do you still require assistance?I am still absolutely stumped I'm afraid. i think windows XP has a creative sound BLASTER 16 driver
if you install that semi generic driver
atleast you will hear some sound (may not sound great but its sound)Have you any links to where I might obtain it?

Quality of sound is not an issue at the moment, not having any AUDIO to play music however is driving me mental!comes with xp
go to device manager
CHOOSE your sound device
click update driver
choose creative as the manufacturr type
and choose one of the sound blaster drivers (pref. sound blaster 16 as its the most compatable)
and finish the installation
reboot and hope your sound is back

Solve : Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 Driver issues?

Answer»

Greetings,

Will start with system specs (will run Everest when I get home, at work now):

Windows XP Home SP3
MB - MSI K8T Neo2 v2.0
1BG RAM
AMD Athalon 64X2 Dual Core 3600+ 2.0Ghz
SB Audigy 2
550W PSU

and the problem child, Sapphire Radeon HD 3650 AGP

So here is the problem. My old video card was on the verge of departing the world of the living, so decided to upgrade it before it died. Since I am too cheap to upgrade MB to PCI-E, went with Radeon 3650 HD. I went ahead and downloaded the most up to date drivers (not including Catalyst Control Center as I despise it) so they would be ready for installation.

Card gets here, I uninstall old drivers, pop old card out, pop new card in, turn machine on, go to install drivers, and nothing. Get it unpacked, starts the installation process, and then No drivers for your hardware found, stopping installation. So I go back and check and check again that I have the right drivers, and they are the same from both ATI and Sapphire, the most up to date drivers for that series. I think to myself maybe need to install the drivers that came with it, so do that, and they install, but not without whining about not being windows certified (not sure if that is pertinent or not). I then tried to update the drivers to most current version, same result, no drivers for your hardware.

Normally if drivers are working, I won’t bother updating, however now I am getting random BSOD's with stock drivers. I am a big WoW addict, happens most often when I alt+tab out to find something, and stack dump with WIN32k.sys error with page file error. I have also gotten an ATI3duag.dll error as well with BSOD.

I know this is probably a driver issue, however have yet to find a solution, so I am hoping that those of you who are much smarter than me can help. Sorry for the length, but wanted to make sure you had all the info, and I am still probably missing some important bit. Thanks in advance!
In case anyone needs to see.. here is the Everest report. Not sure why video card is showing up twice, perhaps that is the issue?

Solve : ASUS audio driver?

Answer»

Greeting,
Can anyone direct me to where I might find the audio driver for an ASUS P4 s533 pc. Tried the ASUS site to no avail.........Thanking you in advance, Hennessy.Did you try using the Asus Navigation Wizard, or finding it MANUALLY?Tried it. This machine is my neighbor's. It was homemade and the model in the selection you REFERRED me to is where I am having the problem. Not sure what the machine model is, hence the difficulty of choosing the right driver.

Thank you for your help, Hennessy. Okay, can you run Everest and post the results?Quote from: Hennessy on August 23, 2009, 03:11:12 PM

Solve : Error message "Diskette drive seek failure 0"?

Answer»

There are two things about which I am certain. First, there are a whole lot of PEOPLE who know more about computers than I do. Second, you are not ONE of them.Jaydel14 - I was hoping to hear where we are after moving the HD to the TOP of the boot order. But if I'm not around later there's one other thing I'd like you to do in the Bios. Go to integrated components and disable FDC or Floppy Disc Controller (which is why I wanted the floppy deleted from the boot order, not moved to the BOTTOM of the list). PLEASE remember that when in the bios make ONLY the changes we discuss - nothing else. And "save" those changes on exit. Then let's see what happens

Solve : ASUS Wireless Issues?

Answer»

Hi All,

I have an ASUS WL-138g WIRELESS PCI card in my PC. The card works perfetly under XP but when installed under Vista and 7 I get a message saying "The capability of your network adapter does not match the requirements of this network."

This error appears on every network that SHOWS in the list so I am sure the problem is not with my router.

I had to install the XP drivers that I found on the ASUS website (I got the card for £5 without a CD and had to buy an external antenna) so I think that I need Vista drivers but I can't find any. I can't use Windows Update or Everest Home because there is no internet connection, It is a DESKTOP PC and I would rather not have to move it to the router.

If anyone has Vista drivers or knows how to stop the The capability of your network adapter does not match the requirements of this network" message; please tell me.

Thanks in advance,
Cameron GrayThis Page shows one for 64BIT XP which would be newer than the XP one you have...
Perhaps it will run under Vista and Win7.Thanks, but would that work on 32bit Vista and 7?You won't know til you try...
My 64 bit vid card drivers run fine on the Vista 32bit build...

Solve : Drive 2 not found?

Answer»

Hello, my mom has a desktop computer, with windows xp, service pack 3.. she is elderly and doesnt know a whole LOT about computers so when I came over today I said I would take a look and see if I could find some help for her. Her computer has been freezing up on her very often since she said about a week ago , when starting up the computer we get a black screen it SAYS Drive 2 not found, Parallel ATA , PATA - 0 (PRI IDE MASTER) Strike F1 Key to continue or F2 to run setup utility. When I HIT F1 it does start up without any more errors but still running really slow. I did some of the steps in the virus section and got up to the supera anti spyware step, I did a complete scan on there and it found 188 threats, I quarentined and removed them and then rebooted when done, the black screen came up again when rebooting. So now I am here SAYING please help? sounds like a loose connection or one of the drives is failing

Solve : Trying to reinstall USB drivers, and a possible oops on my part.?

Answer»

Computer specs: Refurbished e-machines W3400 running Windows XP home with service pack 3. IEEE 1394 Firewire, AMD Athalon 64, ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card. Not sure what else is needed.

Here's the scoop.

My Lexmark x1270 all in one wouldn't scan or copy. It would print, but not perform the other functions. I tried to update the drivers from a previous download, but it wasn't helping. My Device Manager showed that the USB port wasn't being recognized. So, I did what I've done before: I uninstalled all the USB ports with the intent of reinstalling them so they'd be all fresh and clean again.

One problem, though. A couple of MONTHS ago, I did something that I'm finding was a big mistake. I compressed my files. As a result, the file that held the printer drivers was compressed, and I think the drivers for the USB ports were also compressed. My device manager says they don't exist anymore. So I'm trying to find the proper drivers to replace them. I know that Microsoft isn't supporting XP anymore, and the Lexmark drivers currently available are for Vista. So, I'm looking for help in findin these drivers so that I can replace the squished ones. Unless anyone has another IDEA to help.

Thanks in advance.Lexmark will have the XP drivers...
It has nothing to do with Windows no longer supporting XP....

Which BTW is a fallicy...support has been extended from MS to 2015.Thanks for correcting me on the XP support issue; the last I'd seen was that they weren't continuing with support. It's good news that they are.

I went to the Lexmark support chat and got a new copy of the printer drivers, but I'm not sure how to reinstall the USB ports. I can't seem to find ANYTHING on Microsoft's site (perhaps I just don't know where to look), though I did pick up all the updates, both required and optional. Can someone point me in the right direction for the USB drivers?
Looks LIKE whatever was wrong is now right. I was able to reinstall all my USB ports and the Lexmark device as WELL. So, thanks for listening and for the advice on the Lexmark drivers.

It may just be the driver is nmot made for the oS you are using.

Try visiting the manu site of the card maker and looking for a specific driver for your oS.We don't know what card it is...
We don't know what system it's installed to...
All we know is you're running Vista.srr i fixed the card problem i guess i just didn push the card in all the way or something i dnt get it its just working now and thx for all the help!

Solve : Sound/Audio issue..sort of a puzzler?

Answer»

Here is the problem. I have never used the microphone on this computer before. I went the other day and plugged it into the 3.5 plug and went to test it. When I opened up the sound recorder to record, the lines didn't move. I played it back and you could faintly hear the recording. I went into my sound volumes, made sure all the audio recording things were turned up. Still same thing. Plugged the microphone into the audio plug in the back..same issue..you could record, lines barely moved, but in playback you have to turn your volume up.

So..I installed the webcam that I normally use on the other computer, to see if the microphone that is built into was having an issue. It works perfectly, while recording the lines moves etc and playback is how it should be.

Go out today buy a USB port microphone thinking perhaps it just the plug...nope...USB port micro doing same thing as it did with the plug.

Uninstalled the driver, DOWNLOADED the never version, guess what? Yep..same issue.

Is there a setting somewhere on this computer that is off and I just haven't located it? I have to be honest and tell you that it is the darnest thing I have ever seen.double click the speaker icon in the right boddem corner and turn the microphone
slider all the way up
Did...even went to the sound controls in the control panel and checked all the properties to make sure all the sliders were all the way up..just the darnest thing I have ever seen.

Also went and used a few extra microphones I got thinking perhaps it was one of them..wasn't. Both FRONT and back 3.5 jack do the same thing..

The only thing that I notice that is *odd* is that on the Realtek properties under the Audio properties it is greyed out so I can adjust those sliders, but the sliders under the control panel and speaker volume I can..and those bad BABIES are pushed up.i think this is how you on xp but i am not sure because i am using vista right now:
right click on my computer click properties
SELECT the hardware tab
click device manager
expand the sound an video game catigory and is there any yellow or red marks next to the devices in the
audio catigory?
also CHOOSE your sound device click properties and on the drivers tab select update driver
hope that helps
my xp skills are alittle rustyAlready did that to...no yellow highlighted area, searched to update driver....when that didn't work, I uninstalled driver, reinstalled it...still the same...hence I am totally puzzled by all of this..i;m out of ideas

Solve : usb flash drive?

Answer»

I hope this is where I should be, if not sorry, please explain where.I'm having problems with a usb flash showing at all,except in device MANAGER under DISK drives. I have 4 slots, and have tried them all, other things work in them, I've tried the devices in others computers- they work. When I open "my computer" there is not drive that shows.should be something like g . nothing. When I plug in my webcam it shows,my printer shows. I want to move save some stuff before getting a new computer and I thought a flash drive would be the easiest--huh-. I have xp-sp2 running IE7. I have used this device before on this computer, now I can't. Also cannot use my memory cards my mronter card reader. Whaaaat did I do. Thanks I dont know why it doesnt show and how to FIX that, but I can tell you how to access ur flash drive. Insert it in the pc and then click the small icon on the BOTTOM right of the screen, at the taskbar, the icon that says Safely Remove Hardware. You'll get something like "Safely Remove USB Mass Storage Device - Drive(G:)". Maybe yours isnt G:, It can be H:, I: or anything. Now open "my documents" or any other folder, and write the letter of the usb flash drive (G:) at the address bar. Press Enter. You should have accessed your USB.if this is a laptop try wiggleing it around maybe reboot too
and otherwise
are you tring to connect this to a front usb slot?
if you are try a rear slow
hope that made sense i am busy no time for long postThanks for reply , I tried the folder thing you suggested, It does show as G, but I still can't seem to get stuff moved to it. sorry- my dumb. JKRight click My Computer...select Manage...then Disk Management.
Find the USB drive and right click it and select Properties...

Solve : Ethernet Controller Driver?

Answer»

I'm getting question and exclamation marks in device manager over the ETHERNET Controller and SM Bus Controller. I'm attempting to hookup a modem VIA ethernet. The ethernet is integrated with the ASUS motherboard. I went to Asus WEBSITE drivers and SEEN bios and audio drivers but nothing for ethernet. Thoughts?Is this a new system? Have you installed the chipset driver?Not new, just experimenting with it. The chipset is Nvidia nForce. Should I go to Nvidia and download chipset drivers?I believe nvidia's website has a beta app that will check your system and tell you what driver(s) it needs.Thanks ADG. I went to nvidia, got the driver and all is well!You're welcome.

how do you increase the hard drives memory

how do you increase the hard drives memory

You mean the free space. You delete stuff. We don't know how big your hard drive is, and how much stuff you are deleting when you "empty" it.
First of all, why would you post this in the "drivers" forum?
Second, have you done a complete SCAN with your antivirus utility and a GOOD spyware scanners such as Malware Bytes? If not, please do so now.
Third, turn off System Restore, delete the contents of your Temp folder, and empty the Recycle Bin.Quote from: ADG on August 23, 2009, 06:33:46 AM

I think that many people who are not native English speakers (and quite a few who are) are unsure of the difference between "drives" and "drivers".

Solve : Need help with a driver download!!!!! BAD!!!!!!!!!?

Answer»

I need to update like 18 of my drivers but i just cant afford those stupid websites and how much they charge for supposedly FREE driver update SOFTWARE. Does anyone know of a truly free site?Quote from: catnbree on August 09, 2009, 08:38:11 PM

I need to update like 18 of my drivers

Why? what's wrong with the ones you have now?Driver update software is a scam.....

All Drivers are free and normally if running properly do not need constant updates...period.Most drivers may be obtained at the manufacturer's websites - usually the MAKER of the device, and often at the website of the computer manufacturer.
if the driver isnt free
its a scam
simpleNot quite that simple.
If theses services do not perform as advertised by not updating drivers, etc., that is a scam.

We are all pretty much agreed that these "services" are unnecessary.Quote from: smeezekitty on August 16, 2009, 06:55:27 PM

He hasn't returned...This is TRUE. We all have to pay for good services. But there are free drivers out there that's really doing its job. you just have to find the right provider/siteQuote from: patio on August 17, 2009, 08:50:59 AM

Solve : Netbook won't recognise MY-Link USB External Optical Drive?

Answer»

Hey,

Just cracked my new MY-Link USB External Optical Drive out of the BOX and hooked it up to my Asus (1005HA) Netbook via USB and nothing - no recognition at all. And I have no idea how to make it work, I know I'll just GET tied up in knots so I'm hoping someone on here might ...

I'd appreciate if anybody here who knows could help me?

Thanks!



What type of notebook and what operating systemThe netbook's an Asus 1005ha with preloaded Windows XP SP3...

I've managed to get the netbook to recognise the drive. Except now it won't play the DVD films (region 2, original copies). Any suggestions more than welcome thanks!It probably needs to be formatted first...
Windows will not recognise an unformmated drive...
Use the cD that shipped with the drive to prep it or if you didn't get one DLoad the FREE tools from the drive manuf. site.

What a waste of typing...this is an Optical drive ? ?

Sorry i missed that...what player are you using ? ?
DLoad and try VLC Player.
Patio I'm using VLC player Woop woop, it's up and running smooooth son. Thanks very much for your time and words my man!Hi again,

I thought I'd buried this one but not so...

My netbook recognises my external DVD RW drive but not any discs (DVDs (films)/CD (MUSIC)) I pop in.

Patio suggested reformat? I would but the manuf don't have a site and I obviously can't the disc that came with it, i'm screwed. Could anyone help? Quote from: ojayt on AUGUST 22, 2009, 02:21:36 PM

Do those DISKS work in other players? You may have a defective optical drive, try to get them to replace it.

Patio had misunderstood temporarily, he was thinking of an external HDD, I think.Yeah the discs are sound man. Thanks for your feedback anyway Al. Yeah I think I will, I've just sent a email through to the sellers! It's just frustrating when you buy brand new kit and it doesn't work but I guess it's only as reliable as the man who made it!It's not that common for something to be DOA, but it does happen.

That's ACTUALLY my primary reason for shopping locally, I might spend a couple of dollars more, but it's easier to get service and support(usually).

Good luck, let us know.

Solve : Issue with HP Pavilion dv1000 drivers and WLAN?

Answer»

hello all,

This is first time I am using these kind of forum with a hope that someone might be able to help me out.

I have HP Pavilion dv 1000 notebook PC. Recently, I reformated it and tried to installed Win XP professional. while I was installing with xp cd, at one place it gave me ERROR that driver.cab file can not be installed and if I want to continue i should skip and keep going, which I did. I used two different xp cd to install it properly but it shows the same error with both cds. Now, after installing the XP professional, I am facing lots of problems in terms of drivers. My device manager shows lots of yellow mark under other devices ? ! . I tried to download all the softwares from HP website for this perticular LAPTOP dv1000 but NONE is working and I am not sure why. On the top of all this, My WLAN ICON at the bottom at right side shows a X mark ( disabled) and when I click it to enable it, it says " This device has been disabled in windows device manager. To enable this devie use windows device manager". I go to windows device manager but i can't find anything disabled under network adapters. Now i can not enable the WLAN because I can't find it in device manager to enable it.


I know you guys must have read these kind of issues before and might have answered it as well. I tried to search for the answers but I couldn't get exact solution yet. I will be very thankful if someone could just help me out here.

I dont have a recovery disk or option to recover the OS as a factory default. I think somehow i managed to delete the partition where it was resided

Okay. Try to remove first your graphics card. Use first your on-board (built-in) graphics card. See if the display will come back. Then install the necessary drivers of your motherboard. Once done, put-back your video card and install its driver.

Yes. Check out your motherboard's User Manual.

But hold-on, try to connect your monitor to the VGA port of your built-in graphics card.

Solve : win-xp to win-xp pro now no dvd or cd?

Answer»

Recently had crashing-freezing problems with win-xp home,friend fix comp.but installed win-xp pro. in it"s place.Compaq presario working good now but with a lot fewer programs,,,PROBLEM is-- when i insert dvd in dvd drive or a cd in cd drive windows media player comes on screen but never starts or plays dvd or cd, only displays progress hourglass! Please help!!!Did your friend remember to re-install all the drivers ? ?well, he works with computers for a living but sometimes things are missed. Should i have a program for dvd player like i had before xp pro was installed (win dvd)? Does windows media player NEED a driver DOWNLOADED for it or should it play media automatically?If so can an amature do it from the internet?lAlso, how do i find out if i have a driver installed for dvd-cd player?Will i need a seperate driver for the cd-drive such as itunes ect.?Thanks for any advice!!The optical drive does not need it's own drivers...however i have seen this happen when a PC's chipset drivers are missing/incorrectly installed.Can you tell me how to find out if drivers are there or not? Should i download a dvd program from web?Go to Control Panel/System/Device Manager...
Post back with the results...Went to device manager,dvd-cd drive properties says device is enabled and working properly.Has option to update drivers or uninstall, should i try either? What next?Insert a bootable DISK into the drive and reboot. Does the system recognize the drive at boot?inserted dvd into drive and rebooted,during shutdown received message -- windows media player cannot play dvd,compatible dvd player is not installed on this computer.DVD's are normal high quality movie's ,not burnt by anyone.Movie's that played on computer before xp-pro was installed. After reboot,dvd in drive was not reconized on screen. Checked under disc drives in my computer and showes that movie in in dvd drive ,but will not play when opened.when dvd drive is opened, it sayes that compatible dvd player is not installed on computer.First of all I said to use a BOOTABLE disk. Second, install some dvd player and see what happens.Am not computer savey as you can tell , so exactly what is a bootable disk? And what do you mean when you say install some dvd player?Okay. I was trying to find out if the dvd drive was working properly. By putting in a bootable disk (such as the XP CD) we would find out if the system sees the drive at boot (the system would boot directly to the XP CD). But based on you last post it sounds like you just need to install dvd player software. Let's start with free ones. VideoLan is excellent: http://www.videolan.org/. Or pick another: http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rlz=1T4GGLL_enUS304US305&q=free+dvd+player+software

Either way, download and install one.Okay, thats what i thougt you meant about dvd player,but was'nt sure. I will try the one you suggested and go from there.Very FRUSTRATING when you are computer ignorant like i am! Slowly learning though. Thanks a lot for all of you guy's help. Will post again if more help needed. Thanks!

Solve : Need drivers for compaq v3000?

Answer»

In trying to help a friend out, I thought I could load a clean install of xp home on his compaq v3000 LAPTOP. Since he didnt have the disc or any other info ( he has the sticker that has the win xp home product key number). So I just decided to format the hard drive and use a xp home disc i had ( It didnt have any drivers on it) and then use his product key number. What I didnt know was one of the partitions on the HD probably had all the help that I needed. I removed all the partitions and then made one big one. What a mistake that was. So now I got XP home loaded on it, but its missing all the drivers. I CANT get online because of this lack of drivers. Ive looked in various driver web sites including the HP and the Compaq site but they all show such a variety of drivers I cant pick out the ones that I really need. Compaq says they will send me a driver disk for $17 but who knows how it will take to get it. When I look at device mgr. there are several yellow question marks next to different PCI items plus several others. So does anybody have any suggestions on how I can get this computer up and running soon.
Thanx Which of these
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/pfinder?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&query=v3000&dest_page=softwareCategory&tool=softwareCategory

Hey J J

Hi there

I am running Windows XP home edition (Service pack 3) on a COMPAQ Presario R3000

Recently my computer was worked on by my "computer man" and after the service pack 3 update the USB ports stopped working.

I have unistalled them in device manager and restarted the computer. The computer recognizes the new hardware and when prompted I have INSERTED the computers application and driver recovery DVD and selected update drivers.

The process begins HOWEVER halfway through the process it stops and states that access is denied.

I have been told to do a windows recovery....I have looked and looked and there is NO driver available anywhere, this is a simple question and microsoft and compaq have NO ANSWERS.

I am incredibly frustrated and need ASSISTANCE spelled out very simply.

Answer»

Hello! I have downgraded my Laptop from Vista to XP using a slipstreamed installer using Nlite to integrate driver for my AHCI SATA Controller. All hardware were installed successfully except for the 7 Unknown devices displayed on Device Manager.

The following devices were successfully installed:
1. AMD Chipset bundled with HD 3200 Graphics Video.
2. IDT HD Audio device.
3. Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC.
4. Broadcom Wireless Network controller.

8. HP Quicklaunch Button.

I have downloaded my drivers from here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=OS&message.id=12875#M12875

Can someone give me a link where I can download drivers for these 7 Unknown Devices? The link where the drivers are located have been removed. Thank you in advance!

Moral: check for available drivers BEFORE changing OS.Thank you for the advice..I have already downloaded these drivers before I reinstall WINDOWS, and all of them WORKED except for these 7 Unknown Devices in Device Manager. The laptop is now running fine despite of these unknown devices that are not being installed. I know it is my responsibility to PREPARE needed drivers for my system before any modification, but I honestly don't use Vista..I am using XP SP3 in my desktop PC quite a few years and without problems that's why I also downgrade Vista to Windows XP..

Hope someone in this community can help me find correct drivers for my system..

Thanks in advance... Well my friend you may bitten off quite a bit to chew here...

HP of course officially doesn't SUPPORT that model with XP as an OS. So the easy way of obtaining those drivers is non-existent.

I have looked around for you a bit at the most logical places I could think of. This seems to be your best bet. Although I wouldn't call it a safe a bet, and will definitely be a learning experience the whole way!
