Solve : I can't get PPJoy off my system no matter what I try.?

Answer»

And I think it's causing my games to freeze. I tried it before in order to get L2 and R2 on the PS3 controller to work like triggers on the PC. It didn't work, and it made games freeze when I tried using the PS3 controller. I thought I got rid of it then, now that other games are freezing too, I'm noticing it's not actually gone and I cant for the life of me get rid of the freaking thing.

First of all there's no uninstall executable, just a txt file labelled "uninstal" (second L missing). It has its own program in the control panel. It doesn't show up on Programs and FEATURES for me to uninstall. I searched the windows folder for PPJoy and deleted what I could out of despiration, but its still there. It keeps showing up in device manager in some form or another. First it was "unknown devices", now its in "Sound, Video, and Game controllers". It shows up as "Parallel Port Joystick Bus".

I'm heavily leaning towards this being whats freezing my games, since games started freezing as soon as I hooked it up for use with the PS3 controller, it would seem other games don't like having it on the system at all. But I'm NOT looking for trouble shooting on the freezing, I'll worry about that if I narrow it down to that. All I WANT right now is this crap off my computer.Have you searched at all on Google to see if there's a removal tool or what exactly you need to uninstall?TRY installing PPJoy, one last time. Then, goo into the control panel and try uninstalling it from there. SOMETIMES Windows might hiccup when uninstalling stuff and miss a few things that still affect the system. Reinstalling PPJoy will replace all of the logs and settings files, so the uninstaller can try to properly remove it again.

Solve : need help freeing ports?

Answer»

When i try to run graboid a legal video download program i get an error saying port 11234 and 119 are blocked. I thought it might be my symantec antivirus since that is the only thing that has changed since i GOT my computer refreshed two weeks ago after some maleware. I uninstalled it, added graboid to the windows firewall exception list and opened the ports. Still no luck, any suggestions?Do you have a wireless router or DSL modem with a firewall turned on?

If so, you're GOING to have to open the ports on there as well.its a wireless router Quote from: jello2610 on October 01, 2009, 09:08:15 AM

its a wireless router

You'll have to open the ports on that too then. how? i've had the router before my computer was refreshed and it worked fine.Just open ports 11234 and 119 then reinstall your antivirus (or a new one like Avast!, its FREE and better than norton)i already did both of those things Quote from: patio on October 01, 2009, 04:32:47 PM


yep. Just like PULLING teeth.

You aren't giving us any information. We don't even know what kind of wireless router you have. Also- patio was telling you to open those ports on the router, not on your machine (we already know you did that).

Please PROVIDE more information and stop wasting everyone's time.i have an ethernet cord. I am not sure how to open ports on the cord?! Quote from: jello2610 on October 02, 2009, 08:29:03 AM
i have an ethernet cord. I am not sure how to open ports on the cord?!

Once again, we're talking about opening ports on the router. You said you have a router. Even if the computer is hooked up via ethernet cord to the router, the ports need to be opened on it.

Solve : Creative drivers fails to install Win 7?

Answer»

Hello,

My SB X-Fi driver has stopped working on me for some reason. When I DL'ed the latest driver and tried to reinstall it I was given this error: "You have previously installed drivers without rebooting. Please reboot and try again." I then rebooted, uninstalled all creative software, drivers and deleted the Creative FOLDER but nothing worked. I then tried CCleaner and this:http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/2007/09/12/how-to-fully-uninstall-creative-vista-drivers-solve-install-problems/ but nothing worked as well. When I go into device manager and uninstall it, Windows tries to install its own driver but it too fails to install.

What should I do next?are you SURE that the new driver is win7 compatible? That'd be my first item to check.

Also, is the "windows own driver" is the same one it was using before when it worked? If not, have you tried using the one that had worked before?Yes, the new drive is Win 7 compatible as it was working before and windows' own driver was working too before. I have tried to install the windows one but that hasn't worked out.

I emailed Creative support but they TOLD me, "BASED upon your product's date of purchase, it appears you're beyond the
complementary telephone (60 days) and e-mail (1 year) support period. " So they will not help me from their end.

All of this started when the auto update softwarewas installed and started to update on its own.
Have you tried using the driver rollback feature built into windows 7?that feature is grayed out so I cannot click it and when I try to update it says that no driver was found.Quote from: skykaptain on October 01, 2009, 02:26:20 PM

that feature is grayed out so I cannot click it and when I try to update it says that no driver was found.

hm.... that's odd. My next step to check then would be a system restore. See if you can go back to before you started messing with the driver.Quote from: socrates on October 02, 2009, 08:10:09 AM
See if you can go back to before you started messing with the driver.

I don't think that is possible as I do not save any of the system restores. I will try and physically remove the card and clean out the REGISTRY and stuff then put the card back in and see what happens. Now I'm using on board sound so it is not too critical to have the card working.Quote from: skykaptain on October 02, 2009, 10:32:37 AM

Yeah, if you turned off system restore it won't help you.

I would try completely uninstalling the card from the system (clean up whatever you can of its software in the registry), then shut it down and remove it. Let it boot up once clean without the sound card in, then shut it down, install the card again, and boot it back up. Hopefully this will work.

Solve : Driver disc 'Not for this Mobo?'?

Answer»

I recently installed Vista 64 on a Mobo 761GXK8MB (Foxconn), which was originally running XP Home (32BIT) All went well until I tried to install drivers from the disc which came with the board, a message was displayed 'This Driver Disc is not for this MOTHERBOARD' However, I did manage to get all the drivers online in the end. I am so curious to know why this happened, as the disc worked perfectly when used to install XP. Has anyone any idea why this should happen? I understand that this is not a problem per se within the context of the FORUMS wonderful ABILITY to solve problems, but as I said I am really curious! I know I'm asking a lot of people to advise on a problem ALREADY solved, I'd just like to know!!! Many thanks Alexma64bit Vista ? ?

This would explain it as those drivers probably weren't even written til well after that MBoard was in production...Ahhh...... So that's it! I can sleep at night now!! Many thanks for your response Patio (simple as that Doh...)No problem...stop by anytime !

PS. Double check the manuf. website...they should have them by now.
Burn them to CD for future reference...

Solve : clean install now no cd rom device?

Answer»

guess who gets to buy a new hard drive!!Good call Griff.WELL, I guess we're done here.
Thanks for trying. Guess I'll just junk it.Have you tried another CD/DVD unit ? ?
According to that INFO the BIOS is not detecting it at all...

Also if you do get it running you may consider some RAM...256 is a minimum for XP to RUN properly...well, I did try putting the cd in the dvd rw but no luck. I wanted to OPEN the computer but am having no luck. I push the tabs -one side releases but not the other. wanted to see if I could RESET the bios rocker switch. I'm just grasping at straws at this point. Figure I have nothing to loose.

Solve : D-Link Driver?

Answer»

Hi all.
OS = XP Home.
I sat on my daughters d-link DWL g132 wireless adapter.
I bought her a new one, thought it would just plug STRAIGHT in with no messing, it didn't.
Thought the driver may be different, however, I cannot delete the old d link software nor can i install the new, It starts to do something then just stops.
I have tried add remove and uninstalling it manually but no luck.
I have also ran a reg cleaner in case it had left something making the install disc think it was ALREADY installed.
I have alaso tried system restore.
Any clues?
Cheershow about uninstalling/installing the driver in safe mode..Possibly a good idea before i got a bit mad and started uninstalling manually.
i am now in the process of SEARCHING the registry as i cannot find any trace of any dlink or air plus stuff on the c drive.
Cheers. Well, deleted all traces of dlink/airplus, still the driver wil not install.
What could i have done to upset it so?What sort of error do you get? Is it still indicating that the driver is already installed? Did you disable the adapter in the Device Manager?

Another basic: You might try physically removing the adapter, too.Quote

Another basic: You might try physically removing the adapter, too.

Actually this should be done to properly un-install any driver...if the OS can still see the device it may default to the Windows drivers instead...Hi both.
No error message, it tells me it is preparing to install, then it goes to the second window where the blue progress bar gets to halfway then the window shuts down and there is no further activity.
ALL traces that i can see have been removed.
I uninstalled the device in device manager.
There is no sign of a driver in add remove.
I have done a search of the registry for anything to do with D-Link or Air Plus.
There are no folders in C drive to do with either of the above.
I'm stumped!!Remove the physical device from the computer and boot the computer a two or three times. Aegis, the device and ALL visible links to the device have been removed, the pc has been rebooted a ZILLION times.
I have since tried a format. No go.
I have tried the original xp home disc, i get an error, File\i386\ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded. The error code is 7.
I have Googled this and it looks like a bios problem.
I have also tried my own XP pro disc and i get , The file asc 350p is corrupted.
I don't know if it will work but if i get time tomorrow i will go into the bios and reset to factory settings and see what happens.
I have noticed a message on boot up that mentions the bios and sometimes i have to press F1 to load windows.
Perhaps the mobo is dying!! It is LOTS of years old after all.
As i wrote that i thought about the CMOS battery, the mobo is possibly 6 or more years old, i haven't had any warnings but perhaps the battery is underpowered??
*censored* these machines......fun though aint it?
Any more pointers or thoughts on the above much appreciated.New CMOS battery...4 Bucks.
Reset CMOS to default values...
Run HDD diagnostics when finished and before trying anything else.I shall give it a go and see what happens.
It only needs to last til xmas as she is having a laptop.
Then it can go in the bin!

Solve : CD Drive Magicly Dead?!?

Answer»

Okay. So TODAY I put in a cd in my cd-rom, when I wanted to take it out (1 or 2 hours later) my cd-rom didn't open simply just did not open. I press the button and still doesn't open. I go to My Computer and right click on the driver icon and click on eject, still no use. So I restart the computer the suddenly (after the computer completely loads properly) the cd-rom opens by it's self. So a little while later I suddenly realise that my Cd driver has disappeared. I mean it's not in My Computer any more. So I put in a cd and the computer doesn't read it, and once again the cd gets STUCK in there, i re-start the computer and then the cd rom opens. So how did my cd driver randomly disconnect? And also how could I re-install it without the installation cd (if one is needed).The drive is probably dead...how old is it ? ?

Good advice. Also consider ta failing CD drive may take more power from the PSU and generate needless heat.
GET a new DVD RW drive. You will like it. dvd drives are actually $30. Is it just me or did they go up in price from awhile ago?Quote
New Dual-Layer DVD burners are about 40 bucks

The emphasis on Dual-Layer...If you need to get the cd out my friend taught me a trick you take a paperclip straighten it out and stick it in the tiny hole on the front of the drive and it usually opens. At least if you have to get a new drive if there is anything in there you can get it out. Sorry I can't be more help hope it works out for you!That's not a trick. That's the manual eject button. And what does that have to do with this (2 week old) thread?Sorry I'm new to the site and searched for problems with Cd Drives because I was having problems like this with mine. I didn't see the date of the post just THOUGHT I'd offer what very little I know. When mine started having issues I honestly thought I was going to lose my favorite Cd but my friend acted like a genius when he showed me what he called a trick I had NEVER heard of the manual eject button. I am familiar with software stuff but not hardware as much which is why I'm on this site to learn.
Sorry I wasn't any help I'll pay attention to the date when I search from now on.No problem - and sorry if I came across unnecessarily harsh.

Solve : Drivers don't exist for my computer?

Answer»

ok I got Aspire One AO751h and the OS is XP, but here is the DEAL I got the piece of crap for like 6 moth AGO and I have been all over the internet but I haven't find a anything close to the XP DRIVER. I have been sending them mail but haven't got a answer, and I found some drivers but that is for Vista.

I have even try to get one of those driver update program thingy, but they only work if your drivers are already installed. I got a CD but that is for the Vista, and I can't return it bc it's 1+ moth old...

Anyone have any clue how to get drivers to it?Here Ya Go...*cough* already been there, download link dose not work *cough*

Edit:
*cough* ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/netbook/aspire_one_AO531h/driver/ but already try them but I get "Computer do not have the minimal system performance to install this software" *cough*

Edit2:
Can it be bc I have Windows x64 and not x86?Did the computer come with Vista installed?YesI'm sorry, but I don't even go there in cases like that.
It's very simple - see, if all drivers are available before changing OS.well the x86 Vista drivers are working whit XP but better if I could get the XP drivers for it and if I really WANT it to work I change back to vistaQuote

*cough* already been there, download link dose not work *cough*

Not sure what you're doing but i can DLoad drivers from there with no problem...I just get a error that the file dose not exist... will do a screen when I got time.

But I can download them on ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/netbook/aspire_one_AO531h/driver/ but then I get the error message "Computer do not have the minimal system performance to install this software" And It is the right driver, I think... Well it say it's for aspire_one_AO531h but I can't find any information what drivers I have.

The DxDiag it just say "Missing" So I have hard do find what I have...Many recent laptops were built around Vista and have no XP support whatsoever...
This is the manuf. decision...not Microsoft's.

Solve : After installing and unistalling software CD-RW drive unrecognised?

Answer»

I installed software that creates virtual CD drives, and it broke Nero 6 from recognizing the CD-RW drive as a CD-RW drive. I uninstalled the virtual CD Drive software which creates images of CD's so constant swapping or CD in drive is not required, but Nero 6 is still not detecting a supported drive to burn CDs. I uninstalled Nero 6 and reinstalled it and still have same problem.

Anyone know where I should look or am missing if software has been uninstalled and Nero 6 reinstalled, and drive is not supported.

I took this CD-RW drive to another system and it works to burn discs, but this system is messed somehow. HOPING i can fix this without having to rebuild as it is HIGHLY configured.

I tried what you suggested and rebooted. It confirmed so I know it took the change. But still same results. Attached you will see that in the drop down for Nero 6 the Samsung CD-RW drive is not an option as it used to be and default is showing to create a .nrg or .iso save image file. The CD-RW device is missing from list. It use to be selectable prior to the http://www.cdrom-emulator.com/ install which broke it. Of course they deny it was their software, but all was well before their software on this XP Pro SP3 system.

It used to have Image Recorder CD-RW with Samsung CD-RW below it. Image Recorder only creates image files unfortunately.

Maybe there is something else to be tweaked in registry. I am guessing that the key change you gave me was the base config from a clean box which would have resolved changes maybe?

Thanks

Solve : driver for Dell DVD drive??

Answer»

I have Dell 6p811-a00 DVD Rom drive. I bought it from eBay. It reads CD-Rom and DVD just fine but when I went to burn a DVD the software would not recognize that it is a DVD Rom drive and would only allow burning of CD Roms. I guess I need a driver for it to correctly recognize this is a DVD Rom drive?

I checked Dell's website but, as usual, their website is TOTALLY useless and I could not find anywhere to download a driver for this model of DVD-Rom drive.

The burner software is some Roxio software that came with the drive and was on a CD-Rom and I installed it but never have used it before. Maybe just the software sucks? If so, could I download some freeware DVD burning software that would work with it?Go to the dell support website and enter your service tag number. Then go to the downloads for your specific system. If you don't know the service tag number, download and run Belarc Advisor.Optical drives don't need any extra drivers since Win 2K.
Burning laser may be out, but to confirm, TRY different burning program, like DVDFlick: http://www.dvdflick.net/Agreed, but Dell does release firmware updates for the optical drives fairly frequently.Firmware, I agree Quote from: haus_kat on October 04, 2009, 05:18:09 AM

Solve : Need Help Formatting New Drive.?

Answer»

I built a computer out of some old and new parts. The pc uses an eMachines W3052 mother board and the processor it came with (AMD Semperon 3000+). I installed a sata card so I could install a 1tb Sata HDD for media storage. I installed the DRIVE correctly and installed the drivers from the cd it came with. My pc does recognize the sata card but my drive wont show up in My Computer. I am currently running XP Pro on this MACHINE. Any ideas on why I can't access my larger drive? Do I need to update my BIOS? Should I update to Vista? When I look under computer management it shows the drive but I cant LOCATE it and it does not show up in my computer. PLEASE Help!Quote

Do I need to update my BIOS?
No. You said the BIOS sees the drive. -Right?
If you are using the XP CD and Drivers that came with the PC, you should have no problem. My guess is that you did not install the right drivers. But the BIOS sees the drive.
You did the Disk Management tool in the Administrative tools? -right?
Yon want to partition and format it.
I have found it in disk management. It has 927.35 GB in one box and 4.16 GB in another. The both say "HEALTHY (unknown partition)". If I right click on the smaller portion, the only option I get is "Delete Logical Drive" and "Help" and when I right click on the larger partition I get "Delete Partition" and "Help". I just want one partition and I want to format it to NTFS.Leave the small partition alone!
You should be able to format the large partition.Worked like a charm. Thanks a ton!

Solve : Emachine drivers will not respond?

Answer»

Hello,

I just restored my Emachine (model T2865). I put the drivers on the computer but I can't understand how to get them to work. I have easily unzipped dell drivers and never had a PROBLEM with a dell computer. It just put all the drivers in a folder on my desktop labeled NVIDIA. It lists audio,ethernet, etc... but will not let me install them? anyone ever have this problem?

Thanks You need to GO into the folders to which you EXTRACTED the drivers and run the "setup.exe" or "install.exe" files. Be sure to install the chipset driver first. After installing the drivers you can delete the folders to which you extracted them.Thanks for responding. I can't find a chipset icon. Also when I click on audio or ethernet icons it GIVES me an uninstall function? I check the device manager and their is still question marks next to each driver. I restarted as well. I have never ran into this problem before.Some drivers do an uninstall and then you do a reinstall after the reboot. I did a RealTek audio just a couple hours ago that did just this.

Solve : When I turned on comp it said it was installing a driver and idk what it's for??

Answer»

I'm not sure if this goes here?

When I turned on my computer it said 'installing device DRIVER software. Searching preconfigured driver folders.'
It was for an 'OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller' So I don't know what that is. I tried to TURN the computer off and it took about 15 minutes. I recognize the number 1394, I think it was part of the name of one of my internet connections that came with my computer. If I'm remembering right and that's what it is, it's not under my connections anymore (on my Acer eSettings Management tab thing). Now I have RAS Async Adapter under my connections, and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there before. My only internet connection is dialup and I have Windows Vista. I'm just wondering if somehow this can be used to hack my computer? THANKS for any help.Did you ever install your chipset driver?I don't know, I don't think I've ever heard of one. lolQuote from: TialaLL on OCTOBER 11, 2009, 06:29:43 PM

That's a Windows drivers for a Firewire port. Why it's doing it at this point is unclear, unless for some reason it was turned off in the BIOS and now it's turned on. Or you have ADDED the port, which is unlikely since you didn't say anything about it.That would be enabled by the cQuote from: Computer_Commando on October 12, 2009, 04:42:53 PM

Solve : Sound Issues?

Answer»

Hey. This may not be related, but this issue started when my Webroot Spysweeper encounter a trojan, which was Quarantined after it found it. At this point the system sounds stopped working (start up, clicking on items, etc), but I could play music using Winamp. I did some searching on the net and performed a few of the recommended tasks to fix this issue.

The problem is is that no sounds will play at all now and I get the PC speaker beep when windows loads, and also when I am asked if I want to close a box (like mozilla in the Task Manager). Also, and this may be as a result of the PC installing/looking for other drivers (not SURE), but each time I load up windows (from a restart) it locks up my internet browser and I need to close it (which takes ~15 min to close) since it goes to the not responding state. I will attach a PICTURE of the items in the device manager and maybe you can guide me on what to do?? I'm really fed up with this and I cannot find the correct driver or what to do. I tried downloading a driver off of Dell's website, since I think they have the rights to the version I need, but I was thinking that the correct driver is probably still on the PC somewhere.

Solve : Alps Driver for Dell C840?

Answer»

I have a Dell C840 laptop with a 'stick' and touchpad that I can't SEEM to get working. I d/l-ed the driver from the Dell site and INSTALLED it; the mouse properties show that I have it installed and Device Manager shows that it is working properly...but...I get no MOVEMENT on the pad with either the stick or the pad. I do have an external USB wheel mouse plugged in that does work.

I have a D600 Latitude as well that has the Alps software/driver (5.4.104.4, dated 10/19/2005). However, the driver I d/l-ed from the Dell site is 5.4.102.8, dated 8/21/2004. I cannot seem to find the 2005 version for d/l.

I also noticed that when I click on the 'touchpad icon' (at the bottom RIGHT for the screen), I get a 'Mouse Properties' window different from what I get when I do the same thing on the D600 laptop, i.e., the D600 laptop has about 2X more tabs from which to choose than does the version on the C840....hence I assume is the difference and difficulty.

Any help and or direction would be appreciated.

Solve : recording frm cassette player to computer or CD?

Answer»

I am trying to RECORD from a cassette player to the computer or to a CD. I have downloaded Audacity and it appears everything is working EXCEPT I do not have an option to record from line-in. I have looked in sound mixer and no line-in option shows as active or disabled.

I can't find the driver at the CREATIVE Labs website to download a newer version. Can you tell me if I need to buy a NEW sound card or which driver I should download to give me a line-in option for recording?

I have included below what little I know about the computer specs etc. I am a complete novice and I am deathly afraid I will try to install a wrong item and trash my computer.

All ideas greatly appreciated!!!

My sound driver is Audigy SB 6.0.1.1304 installed 10/25/07. My computer is an old Gateway (approximately 2004).

Your IP address is:
71.193.215.3
Your hostname is:
c-71-193-215-3.hsd1.or.comcast.net
Your ISP is:
Comcast - State: OR - Connection type: Cable
Your operating system is:
Windows Vista - SP1 - Platform: Win32
Your browser is:
Internet Explorer 7.0 - MSN - CPU Type: x86
Your screen resolution is:1440 X 900 / 32-bit color
.NET versions:2.0.50727 - 1.1.4322 - 3.5.30729 - 3.0.30618

Can you post the exact model of your computer? What processor do you have? How much RAM?

I see you're running Windows Vista, even though you have an older computer. Do you have a port on back of your computer labeled "line-in"? Are the various sound ports, or jacks, color coded? If so, what color is the one for line-in?I think this is the information you asked for:
Memory: 1024 M Bytes
Processor: Intel PENTIUM 4
Model: D850EMV2 AAA87987-603
Bios: MV85010A.15A.0075.P13.0209191141 (09/19/02)

I'm not sure about the model number of the computer. I think it is Gateway E-6100. Can you tell me where to find that information?

Thank you SO MUCH for the response. I really want to resolve this issue and I am loving the learning process.I see the Gateway E-6100 has 5 PCI slots. So, you have plenty of room for expansion with add-on cards. I'm inclined to think installing a new sound card may be the best solution in this case. Here's an inexpensive card that might just do the trick: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829126004 , from U.S. supplier newegg.com.

I have done more research and it appears the Model # is Model: Gateway 700 RETAIL
Serial #: 0029012155Edit
Ship Date: December 2002
Warranty Info: EXPIRED

Will the sound card you recommended be something I can install myself? I am not afraid of a screw driver, but I am really a rank beginner with this stuff and have never looked inside the tower.

Again, I send tons of gratitude!You can use the Mic jack to record into. "Mic" is just a higher amplified "Line-in" You'll have to adjust the volume way down and tinker with it some.

If you double click the speaker in the taskbar you can check if your "Line-in" is muted. If its not there select Options--> Properties.

In the Properties window select Recording and then select the appropriate recording devices you want to be available.

[attachment deleted by admin]I used the mic jack as well, and tinkered with the quality in audacity. It came out pretty well. Just wanted to say it works Glad to hear it!

I have been working on this for 2 hours and "Bang" I got the Z73 to print with Vista.

Go to Control Panel, Click on Printers, then ADD Printer and Add LOCAL Printer, select Lexmark Z42, virtual printer port for USB and follow directions. Ta Dah!!!
I went to the drivers & downloads section on Lexmark.com, and it appears that the drivers they provide for that particular printer are only for Windows 2000 & XP. It might work if you use the XP drivers, but I doubt it. It might be time for a printer upgrade

Solve : NVDIA GeForce 9400 GT latest version??

Answer»

My video card version is 6.14.0011.8120. I'm using WINDOWS XP I just want to know the latest driver of GeForce 9400 GT. My problem is when I open "Left4Dead.exe" my monitor goes blank but the sound of the GAME is still there. MAYBE the problem is the driver or the installation process. Any idea?http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_186.18_whql.html

Latest drivers.

Also make sure you have the required version of DirectX INSTALLED and the latest patch for the game (if any).

Make sure you meet the minimum requirements as well:
* Supported OS: Microsoft Windows XP / Vista / Vista64
* Processor: Pentium 4 3.0GHz
* Memory: 1 GB
* Graphics: 128 MB, Shader model 2.0, ATI 9600, NVidia 6600 or better
* Hard Drive: At least 7.5 GB of free space
* Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card
Is it possible that my CRT monitor can't handle the graphics of the game? By the way thanks..Who is the manufacturer of the video card?
Just because it's an NVIDIA chipset doesn't mean they do the driver for it.Quote from: dthscyth on July 04, 2009, 06:27:17 AM

Is it possible that my CRT monitor can't handle the graphics of the game? By the way thanks..

Depends on the monitor, but it's possible. What's the model of the monitor and what resolution are you trying to use for the game?I'd think CRT monitors or LCD monitors shouldn't matter, as long as it's decent brand. I think that my dad's 9 year old trinitron CRT monitor could probably handle L4D just fine. But let us know what you got first Quote from: 2x3i5x on July 12, 2009, 05:04:48 PM

But the maximum resolution would only be 800x600 or 1024x768 on a CRT that old.Quote from: quaxo on July 12, 2009, 05:22:50 PM

Yeah, maybe a low resolution, the CRT my dad has is a 19" one

You owe me $50 *sigh*

BRONI....This is a free-help forum. We don't ask for money.

As punishment, you owe me $50. I'll pay you with those gift certificates, you owe me Computeruler isn't here, who are you talking to?

LolOh, LOL, he'll pay anyway....hehehehefor being a free service there is alot of charges lol. i will try that and see how it works i installed it and the media player classic works for PLAYING dvds not the best quality and looks like it laggs a little but it will work.

thank you for your help You're welcome
You can also try VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/You can also try Gom Player, it's decent as well. http://www.gomlab.com/eng/GMP_download.html

But, I think one media player you're comfortable enough with should suffice

Solve : Intel Chipset Driver, Install or not??

Answer»

Always, when I reinstall Windows (XP) I never install Intel Chipset driver. And in the Device MANAGER, nothing is wrong.

so, should I install this driver?Yep, ESPECIALLY if it involves the Video Card.I installed this OS 3 months ago and if I install this driver NOW, will there be problem?Probably not, but before you do:

Is your video displaying correctly?
Have you gotten any errors recently?sometimes, while playing video FILE, it's is freezing for 0,5 seconds...
I have got no errors.

so, install this driver now, right?Are you having other problems besides the brief moments when the video "freezes?"no.

also, i forgot to TELL that on my driver CD, when I click on CHIPSET,

my windows is SERVICE PACK 3It should support it, but besides your video freezing for a second, then
it SEEMS that you should go ahead an install it.There is never a reason to NOT install chipset drivers...
You are probably running generic Windows in their place and will most likely see a performance gain afterwards.Unless there are complications, for example I had to reinstall my chipset drivers on my GX270 due to some problem with the main drivers, and the chipset drivers had a problem with some of the system files(Later on found out that the HD crashed)

But besides that Patio is right

Solve : Audio driver works 'sometimes' (Vista)?

Solve : ITunes and WMP Freeze Up Computer?

Answer»

Whenever I play ITunes or my Windows Media Player my entire computer freezes up and I have to improperly shut it down by holding the power BUTTON in. I have Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 530. I have noticed this Realtek HD Audio Manager on my computer that I never REMEMBER being there before. Everytime I try to uninstall it (even in safe mode) it reappears on my computer. Could this Realtek Audio be my problem? I tried reinstalling the DRIVERS but that did not work. I'm pissed I can't LISTEN to music without my computer freezing up.

Solve : Radeon 4650 driver issues(blank screen after install)?

Answer»

Installed diamond radeon 4650 video card, resolution and display seemed perfect without any driver installed. However, once i installed the driver off of the CD that came with the video card, upon rebooting after installing, the screen goes to complete blank after the WINDOWS loading-splash screen.

Although the screen is blank/idle, I know that the computer's still running because after the screen goes blank I still hear the windows start up sound and I can shut down the computer by alt+f4ing and hitting 'U."

The video card works fine in safe mode, so I know 100% that it's not a matter of settings. It seems to be the driver that's the problem. GIVEN the case, is there anything I can do?

Just a small background info: I tried radeon 4550 2 days ago and it worked perfectly(after installing the driver) and decided to return it and got 4650 since I could get it brand new for cheap. I uninstalled the PREVIOUS driver completely(from control panel add/remove. not 100% sure if this removes it for good) and installed the new one and got the blank screen syndrome.


PC specs:

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz 4.28GHz (tried un-overclocking, didn't FIX the issue)
3.25GB RAM
ep45-ud3lr motherboard
windows XP pro service pack 1 32 bit


Thank you for any suggestion you could offer.
You could try a different driver - download the latest one and transfer it to that machine when you boot in safe mode (or sue safe mode with networking to get net access).
UNINSTALL the old drivers with add/remove programs, reboot again into safe mode, and install the new ones.
Hope this helps.The driver that's on the CD said it was version 5.6

I visited the website and already tried downloading the version 5.1(the latest one on the website for the given product). Uninstalled the version 5.6, installed the 5.1 -- This produced the same problem of booting fine with blank screen -> display working in safe mode(I currently have the version 5.1 and running in safe mode).

Kind of sucks how the display seems to work at great resolutions without any drivers and crash completely after installing supposedly appropriate drivers...Version 5.6/5.1? Where are you getting the drivers from?
Use the ATI site.5.6 is the version shown on the CD on the installation screen

5.1 is the version given on the website which in turn is given by the CD which came with the video card.

I'm looking at the website you've provided me with, and it says it requires windows XP service pack 2 or higher, whereas the box says just XP... could that be the issue? Anyway, I'm trying to d/l and try that out, will report resulttried it out, same issue :/

i had the same problem with my 4650 and it took me ages to sort it out. i had to go to the radeon website and download the latest driver but you will need to upgrade to service pack 2 or better, i installed just the driver and the catalyst control, but i did not include the folding at home pack and this did the trick. hope this helps?
