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 Anyway, I still have the original CD that the mobo came with (joy, out of date drivers) but it only contains 32-bit drivers.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... |

Solve : Re: Sound Driver help.? |
Answer» Good day sir. I was searching and hoping to solve my problem and i happen to stumble in this website. We almost have the same problem so i tried to do the things that you have posted in this forum but i didnt solve my problem. Hope you can help me fix the sound of my pc too. I reformated a friends pc but he doesnt have the cd for drivers. I spent almost 1 day to search for the sound driver. Well heres the info of the pc. 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, Using REST2514 to recover deleted files from flash memory devicesSorry, 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 : Yet another user with a sound problem? |
Answer» I've downloaded and installed stuff from the nVidia site but to no avail.... I've downloaded and installed stuff from the nVidia site but to no avail.... 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 : 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 : 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. |

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 Have you tried a different usb drive just to make sure the drive isn't bad? Or try the drive in a different computer.i would have to agree with ADG try it in another computer see if it works thereQuote from: smeezekitty on August 25, 2009, 10:54:16 AM i would have to agree with ADGsmeezekitty - What's the purpose of your post please?this is to Patio,I tried what you suggested I do not see the drive there, To ADG --I have done all that, . and to Smeezekitty, this does not concern a laptop, and yes I've tried all ports,and different usb's, and the purpose of the post was to get "help" with a problem. |

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. |

Solve : it might just be me being stupid but please have pitty- hard drive help? |
Answer» i keep getting messages on my laptop TELLING me that the hard drive is full and i NEED to empty it but I do that and then it says everything's ok 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 First of all, why would you post this in the "drivers" forum? 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 if the driver isnt free 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 He hasn't returned... Thank God! That subject line with its multiple !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!s was giving me a splitting headache. |

Solve : Netbook won't recognise MY-Link USB External Optical Drive? |
Answer» Hey, My netbook recognises my external DVD RW drive but not any discs (DVDs (films)/CD (MUSIC)) I pop in. Do those DISKS work in other players? You may have a defective optical drive, try to get them to replace it. Quote from: ojayt on August 22, 2009, 02:21:36 PM 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? 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 : Reformat problem - no picture on monitor? |
Answer» Hello, i have recently reformatted my harddrive and then reinstalled windows xp + serverpack 2, evrything seemed to work fine except i lost my Network Drivers so off to the shed WENT this computer because i had just recently got a new one as well as a new monitor. Today i got the old computer back out the shed hoping to install the network drivers and other drives back on it but when i started it up there was a problem. The black screen with white text and the the Windows loading screen would start up but then i would lose all visual after that, no log in screen or anything. which means i cannot install anything to fix it. What can i do ?? maby its my new monitor ?? Maby i need to first GET some video driveers installed on there to get the picture back up ? How ?? no i havnt because i dont kno how coz i cant see anything. : (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. CH experts, please advise.Is it easy/safe to take out my graphics card ? : sQuote from: Ngatai on August 19, 2009, 01:47:45 AM Is it easy/safe to take out my graphics card ? : sYes. 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.

Just update this thread. CH Experts will help you. |

Solve : installing xp? |
Answer» i put 3 desktops togeather but cant install xp os. all have intel boards. An XP CD will not say Intel on it...Unless Sharpie is used Correct me if I am wrong, but If it's three PC's you will need three different versions of XP setup CD's etc as you can't use three same OS's on line with the same Reg key etc, I don't think MS would be too impressed, Paulunless you have an OEM CORP. CD, then it will install on all 3 ok...!!Quote from: fgdn17 on SEPTEMBER 19, 2009, 11:33:13 AM unless you have an OEM CD, then it will install on all 3 ok...!! Although this may be true there are still liscensing concerns involved here...Quote from: patio on September 19, 2009, 12:16:30 PM Although this may be true there are still liscensing concerns involved here... oh...OEM CORP. licensing is used on MILLIONS of OEM CORP. PC's...same license as it's an OEM CORP. license...never seen an issue/concern yet with one...I give up....Quote from: patio on September 19, 2009, 04:37:54 PM I give up....Well no, see - you can install it on all the pc's you want - it WORKS. Really. Go AHEAD, try it Quote from: patio on September 19, 2009, 04:37:54 PM I give up.... checked what I have that I have used on many PC's without issues...and changed my post accordingly...so I acquiesce to you and the other posters who disagreed... I should have said an OEM CORP. CD...which is what I have.. |

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. |
