Every time i play a game after a while it starts to go black then back to normal ,after it does that a few times the blue screen appears and i have to shut it down manually.
Video Card: ATI Radeon X1550 Series
Driver Version:atiumdag 8.593.100.0(Catalyst 10.2)/Win 7
It does this in the games: Rise of nations, Call of duty 4/6, League of Legends.
Thanks in advance.Thats an OLD video card and its likely overheating. I have the same video card a PCIe type with 256MB RAM and PASSIVE heatsink that I did away with long ago because it kept overheating playing World of Warcraft and black screening on me. I added a fan blowing across mine, but it still wasnt enough to disipate the heat that GPU created trying to run games, and I think the GPU was slightly damaged from roasting too many times.

I'd swap the video card with another BETTER video card, such as a more modern and powerful ATI Radeon 5450HD with 1GB RAM for just $32 as linked if yours is also a PCIe slot video card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102882

I am running the 5450HD in 2 systems and impressed with what it RUNS for the price. One is 512MB and the other is 1GB of Video Ram. This video card is also passive and I used my already existing 80mm fan that I installed for my prior Radeon x1550 to blow cool air across the heatsink.

cant install th sound drivers and video drivers for this laptop, when im trying to install the drivers for video it gives an error, "INF error Video driver not found" and "Setup was unable to complete the installation. Try to setup your display adapter with a standard VGA driver before running setup." but the driver i used to install is the one given on the site.
for the sound driver. after installation process. it prompts that the installation of conexant audio driver failed. i also tried to install the automatic software DETECTION from the hp web site but the installation always fails.
please help me. i cannot install windows 7 since the laptop is running with LOW specification, and using window7 will just make it to slow when usedWhere did you get these drivers from ? ?the video is working now,but the sound is still not working, when i go to control PANEL,the sound icon is still dimmed, GOT my drivers from the hp SUPPORT website. You could try extracting the archive or exe for the sound drivers and then find the actual folder that the inf and sys files reside in. Then go to device manager and right-click the sound and click update driver, then browse for the folder that you extracted where the inf files are located.

Is there battery update or driver or software for BIOS. I bought a new battery and its output when fully charged is only good for one hour. My computer is a Hp Dv5000 laptop. Using windows XP.
Well the HPdv5000 apparently COMES in quite a few flavors and variances of battery life do occur within the group. However my research for you tends to indicate that your experience re one hour is abnormally small.2.5-3 hours is stated on the 6 cell 10.xx V battery.If the battery you have is a 12 cell then you should get upwards of 5 hours.Now as you MAY well know depending on the processes being used that can have a substantial effect on battery life IE: writing an e-mail versus PLAYING a game.If the battery has just been purchased you might be wise to return it for a replacement if you can. Hopefully you purchased it from some source other than HP as it seems to be impossible for dissatisfied customers to EVER get HP to replace a battery. Hopefully to help you optimize a laptop battery's life for the future here is a link on how to maximize laptop battery life.

When I TURN my computer on all I get is a black screen with mouse arrow.  This happened a month ago and I put the recover DVD in and it WORKED.  It happened again a few days ago and now the DVD won't do anything.  I called a computer hotline and they wanted a ton of money from me and said a bunch of my DRIVERS had STOPPED.  Not sure what to do now...  Any suggestions?  I can get it to work through safe mode but that is limited..In safemode go to Control Panel/Device Manager...any devices that have Yellow !'s or ?'s have missing /corrupted drivers...
DLoad any that are needed from the manuf. site and re-install them.
When finished boot to normal mode and see if all is well...if not then it's a Windows issue so let us know.

I updated a win xp driver using off brand driver updater and i restarted and now it wont boot up...it was a cpu driver..1.7 ghz intel pentium mobile..PLEASE HELP..Perfect example of whats wrong with driver finder apps...
Can you boot to safemode ? ?
If so use safemode with networking and either roll BACK the previous driver or DLoad and install the proper one. Quote from: domiwatkins on February 10, 2013, 12:39:04 PM

for whatever reason my HP Deskjet 2179 printer could no longer be detected on my vista 32bit PC, i have had it for some time and have lost the disc that came with it so downloaded a new driver and software from HP site. The software seemed to download but when the popup came up SAYING windows needed to find a driver it came up that it was not digitally signed etc. I tried to find a remedy but was unsuccessful so thought i WOULD just buy another printer with a disc so it would have a "signed" driver with it. It is a HP Deskjet 2510, i inserted the disc and all looked ok until once again it came time to look for driver. I then tried both printers on a 2nd PC we have in the house and both installed no worries.  The Question is that maybe i have lost a programme i need on my Vista. Has anyone got any clue what the problem could be... I prey to hear back from someone... ThanksYeah, that happens. Just did that to me. but not the same HP printer and on XP instead of Vista. There is a place on the HP site where you can get some HELP, but you have to find the error log for the install. The error log will tell just what went wrong.

You have to uninstall all the stuff. Sometimes the uninstall does not work right. (BTW, IIT is not only Hp that has this problem.)

i am using WD My Passport 1 TB USB speed 3.0 and higher. The problem is i have 1 TB and i have no space in it i have just filled up all my backup and every thing to that and now it is  not opening in any of the computer device i have tried a lot and my sister got it from USA now i am in India it got lot of trouble and i called to  WD customer support since i don't have the warranty card i cant do anything... then i tried in one of my friends home Thank God it is working in Samsung Led TV but not working in any of the system ... it is working only in Televisions.... Please any one Help!!! What OS version are you using with the 1TB drive? Are you using the data security bundled feature software that came with this drive?

I had a 1.5TB external drive run into a similar issue also a WD drive. I ended up having to carefully open the external drive enclosure and remove the small SATA hard drive and install it internally as an internal 1.5TB SATA drive into my desktop computer to regain access to my data after saving  a little over 1TB of data to the drive. Here is the model I had that I voided the warranty on to regain access to my data/drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236188 

*I locked myself out of my data by ACCIDENT early on forgetting my own password I set on it, and did away with having this data security WD bundled software having to run to access my data on my drive. I dumped the PARTITIONS and CREATED new partitions and ran into issues later on with these drives.

I was using mine with USB 2.0 on both Windows XP Pro SP3 and Windows 7 Home Premium. The one day the drive would not work on any computers I had. Tried different USB cable etc with no luck. Stuck drive to my ear and heard it spinning, just wasn't talking to computers. Contacted WD and they said that I could send the drive back to them and get a replacement, however to get my data back would come at an additional free. I decided to keep this drive and void my warranty by cracking it open and installing it internally to a desktop computer instead that had no issues with the drive. I did not feel comfortable sending this drive into WD with private information on it that could get stolen, so I took the chance of getting 1.5TB of storage back as well as over 1TB of my data back by using it as an internal HDD for a few weeks. I then bought a cheap $20 3.5" external enclosure and installed this 1.5TB drive into a cheap Rosewill external enclosure case and the drive worked like new. Something went wrong with the WD SATA to USB conversion board in their WD case is what I assume the cause of the issue was to begin with.

If you are careful and have a small flat screw driver you can pop the tabs on the enclosure and install it into a new 3.5" external hard drive case for SATA drive, and regain access to your data or install it internally like I did to regain access to data.

This is the second external I have had from WD that FAILED within a year of owning it. The other was a 1TB WD MyBook External with a LCD display that showed free space and external HDD name etc. The LCD died after 3 months and about 6 months after that no computers were detecting the external drive. This was the last external WD drive I will ever buy. Going to stick with Seagate which I have 3 externals that have lasted without issues.

*Only thing I didnt try with mine was to plug it into USB port on flat screen TV to see if it would show family pictures etc like you can do with thumb drives etc.

I HAVE TRIED ALL MY BEST TO SEARCH FOR THE VGA DRIVER FOR MY LAPTOP COMPAQ CQ58-273SG . But all to no avail. Please i am begging all the entire staff and member of this forum to tell me what i can do . Please and pleaseGet all the drivers from the Compaq site and install them 1 at a time...
Chipset drivers go 1st.I have done this all to no avail. I not working please help. ThanksI did help...they either have the drivers there...or you are running an OS they did not WRITE drivers for.Is this the site you have been to?

HELLO,I am using an old model monitor, dell p7771p. Recently I installed windows 7 ultimate. Now I am unable to change refresh rate,there is no option on the monitor TAB only have"Use hardware default setting'. Driver update shows'Best driver already installed'.But aero trouble shooter indicates" contact manufacture for driver'. When it was windows xp I COULD change the refresh rate. Here are hardware info. ADAPTER-standard vga graphic adapter, chip type-ATI rage 128, BIO- 01.000. PC- DTK-MS-6566. Could you please help to fix this problem without buying a new VEDIO CARD? Thanks There is no Rage 128 driver for Windows 7. They stopped supporting that card in the XP days. The most recent driver available for it is the old Windows XP 32-bit driver, which you can download here: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/legacy-xp.aspx

Even if you get the driver to install, the card won't work right. Windows 7 requires a card that is at least DirectX 9.0c compatible. The ATI Rage 128 only supported up to DirectX5.If that system has a Rage 128 I question whether it should be running windows 7 at all.

Yes. I remove the drive. then put the battery back without the drive, so i can GO online to SEE what the next steps are? (i'm just double checking)
Turn on your PC and see if it still ejects...Ok. Here goes.Great! It STAYED in. Genius!
 Great. DVD/CD does not auto launch. I will UPDATE software. Any other steps?http://www.winhelp.us/index.php/windows/securing-windows/configure-autoplay-in-windows.html

i cant connect to the internet  all it says when i diognose is ---->the network adapter reat tek rtl8101 family pci-e fast enernet nic(ndis 6.0) is experencing driver or hardware related issuesjesse candia, you know the rules. Details needed.
What computer?
Which Operating system?
Why did you post this in drivers? Do you have driver issues?
Did you recently change anything?
Is there a change the adapter nipped out of nits slot?
Are you in an area that has have very serve weather in the past few days? Power outages?
Does you modem or router still work?
Do you have another network adapter you could use?
More information, more free help. It's your turn.
its  vista home on a dell inspiron 1210 mini notebook and i put it in drives cause it says drive issueOK. That helps. 

    Dell Inspiron Mini 1210   with  realtek rtl8101
 
That model got some bad PR.
Did it work good at some earlier time? What might have changed.
Not being able to get on the Internet means you can't get the right driver either. But it is hard to believe the driver just failed by itself.

My approach to fixing this kind of problem may seem odd, but it the the best way to identify the problem. I recommend you buy another network adapter and get it to work. Really, the is the method often used by top technicians.

You can get a USB network adapter for about $20 from on-line stores. For simple Internet surfing, speed is not important. 

But before you try that. The Dell WEB site should have the right download for the :
Realtek RTL8101 Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Driver
Realtek RTL8101 Family Dell.com

If you have trouble, read this:
Realtek 1801 drive does not install in Vista

My guess is you will find the Realtek is dead.  But I am often wrong.

Hello,
My computer will not print. When it makes the attempt to print the document (word, excel, etc.) closes and then DrWatson pops up?!? Any ideas? I am running Malwarebytes right now. Did SuperAntiSpyware and removed those threats. Any ideas?Description of the Dr. Watson for Windows (Drwtsn32.exe) Tool

Basically Dr Watson is Windows built in debugging software. Not malware.

Is your printer software up-to-date?
Did you save the SuperAntiSpyware log? If so post it please.I would restart in safe mode without networking before running MalwareBytes. Quote from: Darthgumby on March 30, 2012, 01:16:45 PM

I have followed the instructions in another thread 'Driver for Dynex DX-UBDB9 Cable (serial to USB)' to download the PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_10311.z ip for Windows 7 (64 BIT).

I need to change the baud rate to 115200. When I change the settings in control panel, hardware, properties, ports I can change from the default of 9600 to 115200, hit Ok, and then if I immediately reopen the port properties it is back to the default of 9600. Any IDEAS?

PS - I have successfully changed the rate on an XP MACHINE in the past. Is this Windows 7 specific?

Hello Everyone,

Bought this card on Ebay a while back in order to connect to the internet. Installed fine but now will not connect to anything. Computer doesn't even seen to know its there. I lost the driver disk for it and was wondering if ANYONE would help me locate it. As it is from a generic ebay seller it is TOUGH to FIND. Thank you!!

Here is what I have on it.

2.4Ghz/54Mbps PCI Adapter IEEE 802.11g

FCC CE Made in China

[regaining space - attachment deleted by ADMIN]Really not much to go on here. No manufacturer/no model/no FCC number (or other equivalent). I would recommend that you try to e-mail the vendor and perhaps they can either e-mail you the drivers or direct you to a site where they are available. When you 1st installed it into the computer did you get a "new hardware found" advisory?truenorthRead the chip.  Unable to see clearly.Ya i agree truenorth. Everything is pretty much blank. There is a new hardware pop up but i cant properly install it because the comp has no internet connection.  Chip says:

Choose your weapon.  I like this one:  PCI/mPCI/CB (RT256x/RT266x)If Computer -Commando's links don't solve it then obviously you do have access to the Internet so as i suggested earlier "I would recommend that you try to e-mail the vendor and perhaps they can either e-mail you the drivers or direct you to a site where they are available." If you can get them put them on a removable media (flash-drive/floppy/cd) and BRING them to the affected computer for installation.I am a bit surprised that your windows operating system does not have a generic driver for that card. However I'm not certain if windows does have drivers for that.truenorthIf you can't get that card working, here's a replacement I'll recommend: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=534927&Sku=D700-1026%20P.  With it, you'll be dealing with a well-known manufacturer and you'll no problem getting the driver for it.Thanks a lot guys. Got it working with your links Commando. Was at the RALink site before but I must of DLed the wrong one. Thanks again my nerdy people. The XBMC is alive again!!!! Great,truenorthTo Computer Commando
Dear Guru, I was struggling, with a PCI LAN card I bought from China through E-Bay, for the last 3 days.The drivers on the CD didn't work.The generic driver of Win XP didn't work.Googled exhaustively and hit your site.The Railinktech drivers pointed out by you worked.How do you get this kind of info?I am so excited.I was going to trash the card.Thanks a million Guru.You saved me from a nervous breahdown.A twofer,Fantastic,truenorthSeems like years ago I posted that topic haha. Glad to know other people found it useful.

hi my wireless has just gone it is not recognized in the device manager and a USB Device not Recognized pop up is showing up.
i restart it a couple of times and once it did showed up but after i did it again it was gone again.
i have a toshiba laptop l300 Can you think of ANYTHING you might have done that caused the problem?
What devices do you have plugged into your USB ports?
TRY reinstalling the wireless drivers and see if the problem still persists..

i think problem started when i tried to charge my phone with USB cable
the point is i even reinstaled the Windows 7 OS and still the pop up comes some times the wireless is there and some times it is not recognized i have re installed the DRIVER and when i have the wireless the driver is in the device manager and when the USB recognize pop up shows and there is no wireless the driver is gone also like there is no wireless in the device managerAh... so it sounds like a hardware issue... more specifically a power issue with the WiFi card causing it to draw too MUCH power...

Try taking out your charger, taking out your battery,  leaving the laptop alone for a few MINUTES, and power the laptop on with only the charger (no battery inserted) with the wireless switch off and without any USB devices inserted. After windows fully boots, then turn on WiFi.i done that restarted it a couple of times to make sure and the wireless is here so i think you did it man.
 Thanks

Hey everyone,
I recieved an old hp laptop from a friend and it had several windows RELATED issues so i installed XP fresh.
My issue COMES in that I cannot find the driver to allow me to connect to wireless internet.
Is it just a driver I need to download? If so a kick in the right direction would be nice.
If not what else can it be.
Good with building computers, the worst with drivers.

Thanks a lot

Computer is a:

HP Pavilion DV6500
XP SP3
AMD Athlon 64 X2

Laptop drivers should always come from the manuf. site...
It wil either be included in the MBoard chipset set or listes as a WLAN driver...downloaded the network drivers from here

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=ca&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3380544#N365

and installed.

When HP Wireless Assistant opens it says that Wireless LAN has been disabled in Windows Device Manager.

When I go to Device Manager I cannot find any place to enable anything network related that isnt enabled alreadyI am wondering why you are posing this same issue on two different CH forums? This one and the windows XP forum. I have answered you there and it is ALONG the same LINE as patio's answer here. It does NOT ensure any faster or better replies and can potentially lead to confusion as a member may answer one being unaware (as i was ) of the existence of another. One POST on the issue ensures a better flow of responses. truenorthsorry about that true. didnt really think it was only a driver issue the more i looked at it, so i thought the XP section would be better. I will close this one up and focus on the other wall post. my bad. yes it was a rookie move. Unfortunately YOU cannot close  the other post. But not to be troubled we have all been there at one time. truenorth

Here is an interesting one. Windows Vista will not install because it says I need a driver for my hard drive O.o
Ok, Windows already has HDD drivers so this shouldn't be happening. I ended up finding some information which tells me I am needing an update to my Storage Controller (Silicon Image SiI 3132 SATALink Controller). Then I go to their site and find a list of updates but there are so many it is impossible to tell which is the right one.
And even if I did find the correct update there is no way to install it in a Windows environment because, well, there is no O/S because it won't install!!!
Frustrating, huh?

The motherboard is an ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe. The HDD is a 500GB Maxtor. The Windows to be installed is Vista Ultimate 64-bit.

If anyone knows how to rid me of this problem I would really appreciate it Not too hard. You do have another PC. Do you have another HDD? Maybe an old PATA? Install Windows temporarily on the old PATA drive. Then check out the details of the motherboard and the drive  using additional tools you get elsewhere.You're trying to upgrade to Vista? Why on earth would you do that?

Anyhow, are you trying to do so by BOOTING from the disc or within Windows?Sage: I have my own PC which I used to get the information I need about the mobo. I do believe I have all the info I need about it. I did find an upgrade for the controller as well as an upgrade for the ASUS mobo BIOS. Ok, now I still have the problem of applying those upgrades because they need to be installed in a Windows environment and that is something I cannot do since Windows will not install on the HDD I want to use or any HDD I have tried...all 6 of them. I thought of using another computer to install Windows and then throw that HDD in the guy's computer but then I would need an identical mobo or Windows would get confused and refuse to boot anyway.

Raptor: The guy who I am doing this for had his HDD fail and he has his original Vista O/S disk, that's why I am trying to install Vista. He will not pay to get Win 7 :/   I am trying to install it from that Vista disk. You can install Vista by booting from the disc.

If Vista can not detect your SATA hard drive, you need the SATA driver for the chipset and it can usually be obtained from the mainboard manufacturer's webpage. It usually mentions that it is meant to be used on a floppy disk.

Why aren't you doing it this way? ya i would go to win 7 your cpu will run faster lol vista is a memory hog

you cant say vista is not a memory hog. its a well known fact it is it might not be best to go woth 7 depending on the age of the cpu but it is better to go with xp or 7 i have not seen 1 computer that is better off with vista on it then anything else. to say that would be wrong

I was just reading a newspaper story online when explorer shut down and I got a notification that my driver(s) were old.  I've never had this happen before.  My computer, an Acer with a Windows 7 system, is less than a YEAR old.  I've tried to be diligent about installing updates whenever I'm prompted (often they install automatically).    I restarted my computer when I first received teh message and it seems to be working all right.

So can anyone answer if I have an issue that needs to be taken care of? 

Thanks in advance for any help.If they are trying to sell an app that finds drivers it's a scam...

Check the Acer site for any updates but in general with the drivers if everything's running fine there's no need to fuss with them...Thanks for the response Patio-I kind of thought it might be something like that.  What caught me off guard though was that Explorer shut down without any prompting from me-like I said, I've never had that happen before.Update and run alll your protection apps...Sorry to be so computer-illiterate-but what do you mean by run my protection apps?  I checked AVG and it says that it's working and that I'm protected.

As for Updates-as I said, I update regularly whenever I'm prompted (which is often).  Is there something I should do to update on my own?DLoad install and run the following 2 Apps

MalwareBytes Anti-MALWARE
Super Anti-Spyware.

Both Free versions and they add protection for baddies that AVG may not catch...

Post back if you have any questions.
PS...It's safe to let them clean anything they may find...Thanks again for all of your help.  So does that mean that you think what happened could have been a malware attack?  I did get malware on a computer once before (that got through AVG) but in that case I ACTUALLY CLICKED on an infected picture.

Also, links you gave me look good-can you guarantee me that they're safe?  I'm sorry to sound so paranoid but I spent a LOT of money on this computer and I get extremely nervous about loading anything into it that I'mnot absolutely sure about.

Thanks-I REALLY appreciate all your the help, etc.They are completely safe...and highly recommended here...and elsewhere.
We never would advise otherwise.

It may have been something as simple as a browser re-direct...at this point nothing to be alarmed about.Cool-thanks again.

I was wondering if you can use an external hard drive like a regular hard drive? What I want to do is play my games on an external hard drive. The hard drive on my computer is getting pretty full.  And I would like to keep more than one GAME going at a time.
I have a Dell XPS 630i, Windows XP Pro. It is not clear why you just don't put manpower Hard Drive inside your Desktop. That is a full size desktop - right?

Dell XPS 630i
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/xps630i/en/OM/HTML/specs.htm
Can't see where it tells if there are extra bays. There should be.

In any desktop that does not have a spare bay, take out the floppy or DVD drive abed use the bay for another HDD. You can get external DVD  case for about the same price as an eternal HDD case.

Avoid external HDD unless you have a need for it. Like portable backup.
 I was given the external drive for christmas, and was hoping to be able to use it.Yes, as far as your system is concerned the external drive is essentially the same as an internal drive - you can run programs from it.To confirm what Allan says and to respectfully disagree with Geek i am using at least 4 external Hdd's with everything under the sun on them and they perform as do internals. Plus they give me the advantage of the portability of taking their content for use on a variety of computers. If you have a spare internal 2.5 or 3.5 cases to convert them to externals are readily available and very inexpensive.truenorthI give up.    QUOTE from: Geek-9pm on January 28, 2012, 10:45:22 AM

I give up.   

external hard drives most of the time aren't properly grounded which is just bad for computer equipment.

If you intend on using a hard drive on a daily matter, it should be inside the computer for best results.

These statements are both nonsense.

I have a number of programs that i use on a variety of computers. I install them once and when needed carry them to the computer i wish to use it on rather than installing it on ALL of them. As i said never a problem yet in some cases over 5 years of use on some externals.

Not to say it won't happen but then things happen.truenorth

The second part"but then things happen"=loosely explained as little in life is guarantied so therefore things can happen to alter an expected outcome.Hope that shines some light on my meaning. truenorth

Hello I am new to this site and have searched for the relevant drivers without success so posting this request to see if anyone can help.

I have a Advent Milano ELITE which came without a hard drive. I used an OLD hard drive from my laptop which has XP already loaded on and switched the Advent on. It now needs the drivers installed for the network card, video display, sound etc etc but I can't seem to find them anywhere on the net. Can anyone help? Have I done this the right way as a few people have said you can't just switch over hard drives you have to format them first and do a fresh install. Trouble is I can't find disks for either! Apparently it is made by ECS but their website wont let you download the drivers.
Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. This was the search parameter used="Advent Milano Elite"Still pretty much stuck with this..  Any ideas?  It's out of warranty and because I've CHANGED the Hard drive it's unlikely pc world will touch it!Did you bother to clik on the link provided ? ?

Since re-installing windows XP professional on my COMPUTER, it suddenly refuses to play sound. Under "Sound and Audio Devices Properties" it says there is no audio device installed. I have DONE everything I can think of, and this is my last resort before taking it in to a computer shop.

There are no yellow exclamation marks in device manager, I can't check the "show volume icon in tray" under audio because it is greyed out, I've downloaded and installed the necessary driver for the sound card several times over, I've uninstalled it from device manager and rebooted so it force reinstalls, I've re-re-installed windows, I've run the computer in safe MODE and repeated above steps..

I assume it's built in to my motherboard, because when I took the computer apart there was no obvious card in a slot, and the WIRES from the headphone jack etc run straight into the motherboard.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, I don't really want to be shafted by the computer companies..

I have an older Sony camcorder (DCR-TRV350) that uses digital tape that I used to download onto my computer to edit when I was using XP.  I upgraded to 7 64 BIT about a year ago and it wont recognize my camcorder.   I WENT to the Sony site to get an upgraded driver but there are none for Vista or 7.   Am I stuck with getting a computer with XP?Yes,While PATIO's very DEFINITIVE answer may turn out to be the certainty. Alternatively  IF you can extract the data (i ASSUME audio/video) to another device such as a a camcorder that IS compatible with win 7 that could be another alternative. Hardware/software devices do exist for video audio transfers.truenorthThanks for the confirmation on that.  I want to get a 32 bit system going again anyway, I have lots of programs I can use on it

I have a Compaq 5000/5BW120, thing is that I had no issues till I changed to a new KVM.  I wiped the drive an reinstalled 98 SE.  I dont
have the disks that came with the machine since it was second hand.  I got what I could off the site manufactures.  I try to install the
drivers that I wanted cause, of space.  Thing is that it keeps comeing up with an error when I try installing them.  I have classes here to et
ready for so I'll post it tommorow.     What is the error? You PROBABLY know this, but ill say it just incase: That computer has a PIII and very LITTLE RAM, so don't expect much out of it. I have a 5BW130 that I upgraded and it barely plays youtube.You shouldn't be using Windows 98 online. You can't EVEN get a decent virusscanner for it.
sorry, I couldnt get back on here then.  I lost the machine that primary function was too get online.  When I go to install them I get the system cant find the file spefic. Even happends with the old driver disk I made.  I think I may have 512 in the UNIT at best.

Dear Experts

I have got ASUS U31SD,,,,I INSTALLED windows 7 Ultimate for it , but I forgot to record what was the name of the wireless driver before formatting it

http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/U31SD/#download

I downloaded the below two drivers (there is not third one to try it) from the official ASUS website above, but non of them worked.

Intel(R) WiFifamily WiFi Wireless LAN Driver

Azurewave Wireless Lan Driver and Application

Wireless HARDWARE is on not off ?

Now I am confused I do not KNOW which is the proper driver for the laptop ?

ThanksDid you install a 32bit or 64BIT OS?By the help from other forum and the advice to use

If I do anything graphically intensive - any sort of game or streaming a video - for a few minutes my computer tends to freeze, give a brief blue screen, and then shut down on its on.

This is the information I receive after my computer reboots.

I need help to GET a driver INSTALLED onto Ubuntu Linux for the Dell Inspiron 1525. Thanks for any help. I am QUITE busy with other computing PROJECTS, so a little help on this will be greatly appreciatedWhat is the "driver" and what is the problem with trying to install it? truenorth

Hi, hoping for help. in the middle of playing a game, my monitor got all these pink LINES going from left to right across the screen. (looks like a heart monitor). went into device monitor and there is a yellow mark next to the video card. According to driver detective the drivers for the nvidia GeForce 8800 gt needs upgrading. went to dell, and there is no upgrade listed there. Went to Nvidia and they show an upgrade, tried to upgrade with the driver they said it needed but no difference.  Tried uninstalling the drive, rebooted it put it back in and still has the yellow mark.
Should I pay the price for Driver Detective to install the driver? or is this a dead card?  do not want to pay for the Detective if I will need to buy a new card anyway.
Any advice will be welcomed
Thanks DebbieSince I don't know what make or model your computer is but you did indicate monitor so I can only assume it is a pc not a laptop.  Have you tried hooking a different monitor up to the pc to rule out the monitor itself?NEVER pay for drivers...or any app that pretends to find them for you...it's a scam.

Drivers are Free.Just noticed it's a Dell...
Travel to the Dell site ...enter your Service Tag # from the PC and all your drivers will be listed.
DLoad and re-install the APPROPIATE driver and re-boot...if still the same then the card/chip may be failing.Sorry the computer is a Dell XPS Demension 630i,  I do not have another monitor I can switch it out with. 
I did go to Dell,   Guess it is the card/chip. I was soooo hopeingit was something simple   Did you re-install the video drivers ? ?YES I re-installed and when that did not work I tried to update the drivers. no difference.Just a thought.  Before you go out and buy another video card try downloading a free program to stress test the one you have.   I don't play games but it is possible it might tell you something about the GPU.  Sorry, can't even tell you exactly what to look for.  Probably temps.  Maybe someone else can be of help here.

 http://www.ehow.com/video_4445594_test-video-card.htmlibfox1, I would like you to read (totally) this link. It represents extensive dialogue between one PERSON's seems to me same issue as yours and the evolution of attempts to resolve it with primarily the assistance of one other forum member. It details very well all the things that could have contributed to the problem. That part may serve you to see if you have tried all of them. The good news is that the problem was resolved. But don't jump to the point where it becomes solved because YOUR solution may lie somewhere else along the process.
http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-7/nvidia-8800-gt-driver-problem/3960.html
Good luck,truenorthAnother couple of things you could try is checking the connections on your monitor.  What size is your PS?  Might need a bigger power supply for  the nvidia GeForce 8800 gt.  ibfoxy1, have you tried reseating the card? (taking it out, putting it back in)

Till the next problem ,

This scanner runs real GOOD on my XP machine.
Manufacturer has discontinued this model.
I'm currently running WIN 7 on a laptop.
How can I get Win 7 to recognize this scanner ?
I have downloaded the drivers, but they only support up to XP.
HarryHow is the laptop connected to the printer ? ? USB ?
If so does it show up in Control Panel/Printers after re-booting ? ?
If that works make sure it's set as default printer...same place.

If no to any of the above there is an XP Compatibility MODE plugin from MS that would need to be installed...and then startup in XP Mode and install the printers XP drivers...

Other than that the only other option would be to setup the PC's on a Home network and try it that way...a bit more involved though...You can't. No support, no drivers.

You'll have to buy a Windows 7 compatible scanner. Quote from: patio on January 19, 2012, 11:46:26 AM

Having mouse and keyboard problems with my Dell optiplex running windows xp at login screen. Bacically, the keyboard works fine in the bios but as soon as windows boots to login screen the keyboard and mouse are not working at all. Having found some different solutions online it seems that booting without the mouse attached was allowing the keyboard to work and subsequently the mouse itself afterwards. Problem is though that upon rebooting again with mouse attached the same problem arrises. Also, when it does boot the drivers for both mouse and keyboard have to be re-installed each time. Any ideas or solutions would be greatly appreciated...Can you go into safe mode? Sounds like your Windows INSTALLATION is corrupted SOMEHOW. Got a virus scanner?Yes can boot into safe mode and even access the SYSTEM using the method above but REALLY confused as to why this is happening. Yes it definitely sounds like a windows problem but just trying to figure out exactly what may have caused this in the first place. No viruses or malaware detected either. Does safemode cause the same behaviour?Yes same behaviour in safemodeYou have a USB or PS/2 mouse, keyboard? Its usb keyboard and mouse. With the workaround I described earlier it seems that re-installing the drivers in each usb port seems to have done the trick for now anyway. Very STRANGE problem but fingers crossed it won't re-occur.

My computer has no sound. In the bottom right in the system tray it has an x over the speaker and SAYS No speakers or HEADPHONES are plugged in. I am USING a M4N78 PRO motherboard and I have the disc that comes with all the drivers. The AUDIO drivers will not install and prompt me with the error "We cant find hd audio device". My system has no audio and i cant download drivers to try to fix it, it's like windows isnt picking up the sound card at all. Remove it from device manager and restart the system.Didn't work.The drivers i've downloaded just wont work. i GET the same "We cant find hd audio device" error everytime.Then you have the wrong drivers...
Or the MBoard chipset drivers need to be re-installed...
Laptop or Desktop ?If it has a speaker icon in Windows, it sounds to me like the drivers are installed.

You can't unmute it? Did you remove the sound panel software from add/remove programs?It could also mean that the onboard device is disabled or not started.

Good afternoon, I had to downgrade to Vista from Windows 7 due to a problem. I used a borrowed disc to LOAD Vista - this disk was from a Dell computer. My laptop is a Toshiba & with the Dell OEM Windows system my ethernet network adapter will not work & my wirelees adapter is gone. I need to see if I can use my network adapter with this conflicting configuration. I GET a Code 10 error message for the network adapter, Device cannot start. Any help on how to get the ethernet driver to work & how to get my wireless back on the computer would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

When you borrowed the Vista disc you violated the EULA. Accordingly we are UNABLE to help you, I'm sorry.This is an old problem. Microsoft will not help with an installation of  any OEM VERSION of Vista. This was covered some years ago in a PC mag article. (2007)

AMD DRIVER Autodetect detects your graphics card and operating system and tells you if a new driver is available. If there is a new driver, the TOOL will download it with a CLICK of a button and start the installation process.

I have a ATI X1300 PCI VGA/DVI video card in my gaming pc. Thing is that there is an updated, I downloaded the driver from the SITE ran it an said that it couldnt find the driver that was installed.  I uninstalled an reinstalled the driver that came with it an then tried updateing.  I still had the same issue.  This is the issue "setup wasnt able to find the componets installed on your current hardware or software config. Make sure that its for you current hardware or software"  I ran the automatic tool an am getting a wierd issue from that as WELL.  I dont have what it is right off though.Some people may disagree, but I often treat drivers a lot like the BIOS. If it is working with no problems, then don't update it, because you will often run into more problems TRYING to update. That said, I think you should go into device manager and remove the driver and just install the old one again (unless you were having a problem with the old one that you FAILED to mention in your post).No,  Supposeably this card will support RE 5 which, I would like to have on this machine Quote from: Ryuk on January 08, 2012, 02:41:16 PM

Hi, I am having serious issues with this driver I have for my Zoom R24. I got it in a bundled deal with Cubase LE 5 and the Cubase is working fine with my mac, the R24 however is not. alone the R24 is fine it can record and delete and SAVE ect... but when I try to install the driver to CONNECT the R24 as a mixer I get to the install page and the "install" button is blacked out, I can't click it and all I can do is "go back" and select where I want to install the driver but when I do I get put back on the page with the blacked out button and can not go any further?    I got the driver from the DVD that came with the R24 but then after having the ISSUE DOWNLOADED it from the websight and still the same problem?

I'm using a Mac OSX 10.7.2 (very new like 2 weeks ) and could really use some help to understand why i can't install the one thing i need to make this mixer work?Did you check the remarks for the R24 USB Audio Interface System Requirements in this link : http://www.zoom.co.jp/english/products/r24/
Check also the Manual PDF for the requirements and hardware installation for Mac OS X page 24.

sir,
is there any free software which can scan the computer for the DRIVER's and automatically download all the updated drivers.

actually my friend is using dell inspiron 1545 and when we cheked for the driver updates the www.dell.com gives the latest drivers of 2010 only. no newer updates.
can we get it from any other SOURCE.


regards,
namsIf there are no updates from Dell, then you don't need any updates.thanks commando.

but i am stiking with my avg internet security, it's component so called pc analyser saying that your drivers are out of date but no other information it is showing other than a rating bar full upto amber marking for seviority .
thatz why i am asking about such a tool to reconfirm it. if possible please help.

best regards,
namsDrivers should only be updated if there is a specific need or reason to do so. There is no such thing as an out of date driver. If your system is performing normally, leave it alone.thanks allan,
You're welcome.I update my drivers periodically. It's a good idea to check the fix list every 6 months because there could very well be fixes related to power consumption or cooling that you'd otherwise never notice. Quote from: Raptor on January 09, 2012, 06:44:16 AM

No, it isn't. If that's what you want to do that's fine, but please do not suggest that others do the same - at least on this forum. Problems caused by updating drivers unnecessarily are among the most common cause of posts on support forums. Again, drivers should not be updated unless there is a specific need or reason to do so.

I've been working with personal computers since they were first introduced. The next time I hear of a driver preventing laptop overheating will be the first time. If you have some documented evidence to support your claim feel free to post it - I'm always anxious to learn. Otherwise, let's move on.

Nobody said writing good drivers was easy, but doing it badly can have worse fallout than just a crap refresh rate.

It appears that the NVIDIA 196.75 drivers are causing fan control problems in their video cards, according to some StarCraft II beta testers and reported by IncGamers. The problems have lead to extreme overheating problems, with users reporting temps as high as 104 Celsius.

The issue isn't confined to Starcraft II players, either, potentially affecting any 3D application.

NVIDIA has recommended returning to the 196.32 WHQL drivers, and the latest release has been removed from the NVIDIA webs site.

http://technorati.com/technology/it/article/nvidia-driver-causing-overheating-problems/
http://www.incgamers.com/News/21293/nvidia-19675-kills-video-cards

Driver causing overheating. Rare but not uncommon.  I can't find the laptop example I'm on about. Should I find it, I'll let you know.

just quoting my original question too. can i get such a software which can scan the laptop for its present versions of drivers, and at least can give me a source of downloading the latest.

actually my friend is using dell inspiron 1545 and when we cheked for the driver updates the www.dell.com gives the latest drivers of 2010 only. no newer updates.
can we get it from any other source.

Those links go to prove my point, not yours. Newer video card driver updates caused overheating in the video cards. It had nothing to do with general laptop overheating, and had you not updated to those drivers there would not have been a problem.

As I've said twice in this thread - do not update drivers unless you need to. NEXT.

If you have been searching for 2 days I would think you would have covered EVERYTHING out there.  Did you SEE this? Don't like recommending websites I don't know anything about.
I don't know if it is safe or if it is  what you are looking for.  Can create bigger problems  if it isn't the right download.

http://ar-domena.com.pl/analog-devices-ad1981b-l-intel-82801eb-ich5-ac-97-audio-controller-a-2-a-3/I usually find the internet extremely useful on this. I have in previous cases formatted my computer and given that I couldn't get the original CD that came with it, I had to get a download from the internet. You just need to go to a secure site. You can also get some more useful tips here

Hi.

Ive posted about this before, but that was a while ago so I was ADVISED I might want to start a NEW topic.

Im looking for an update for the Mobile Intel 4 Series Express CHIPSET Family.  Sounds simple, right?  Go to the intel download site and get one.  Unfortunately, I have a Vaio VGN-NS20E/S which has some SORT of custom component and the intel site advises me not to download the driver.  Tried contacting Sony about it, never heard back from them.

Anyone got any ideas how I can update the driver?  Failing that, is there any other option?

Cheers, guys

Hi, everyone! We have made a nice and neat website which aims to help you to find drivers for your equipment. Right now we are adding drivers in our website, so if you want us to help you find rare driver, drop a post in this topic, or in our website: http://driversworld.us/ . We will be glad to hear your feedback about our project.Nice, uncomplicated website design. Aren't you contradicting the purpose of your website when you write, "The safest way to install drivers is to download them only from manufacturer's website!"? You should edit it to include that you are getting all your drivers from the manufacturer's website. In many places I noticed that you just gave a link to the official driver/support page of the manufacturer-that's good.


I did notice some grammatical errors in your website, which suggests it was unprofessionally made, for EXAMPLE "To obtain the requested information you can visit third-party resource - the official website of the manufacturer Fargo. There is latest on this hour software for your hardware." Your legal agreement: http://driversworld.us/app/page/?page=agreement also contains such errors-be sure to correct them.


The next time I have to install drivers I'll check out your website and see how it goes. Thanks for your feedback!

The last thing the web needs is another driver website using SEO to appear before the manufacturer's page.

The funny thing is, if there weren't so many "helpful" driver sites, we wouldn't need them because the manufacturer's page for a query wouldn't be beneath 3 pages of the bloody things.

I have been shopping for a WIRELESS N adapter for my laptop recently. With so many consumer electronic devices coming from foreign countries which so blatantly attempt to hack us, is it possible for them to embed viruses in device drivers? This has been topic of concern. Quick answer is 'Yes'. However, the rash of Malware currently out there is coming over then Internet. You need to worry more about the sites your visit.

This observation is both my own PERSONAL observations as well as the consensus of many others. Don't worry too much about then embedded firmware threat. Right now it is the myriad** or more malicious web sites out there. And yes, I have many external devices from unknown pleas with embedded firmware. But the infections I get come from web sites.

** myriad = 10,000.

Well, it WOULD definitely be possible to embed a virus into a setup executable, seeing as adware is already rampant in programs like the "Ask Toolbar" in various setup EXEs. Personally I dislike the client SOFTWARE shipped with these dongles, so I manually install the drivers by selecting the .INF from Device Manager.
Here are the top ten WiFi dongles of 2011:

Cisco, Belkin, Buffalo, DLink, and Netgear are among the most reputable wireless networking equipment manufacturers.Thanks, folks, for your THOUGHTS. Embedding a virus into a setup exe would probably be easy for most anti-virus apps to spot; but I wonder about a virus actually embedded in the driver (.inf or whatever).  I agree with you, Trans. I have often used Device Manager as you suggest to go around the setup exe. Windoze's built-in wireless connection manager does a better job of creating and managing the connection than the crappy utilities that some of the wireless nic mfrs ship with their drivers.

is it possible for them to embed viruses in device drivers

I am planning on getting a custom computer built (yeah I could try to BUILD it myself, but my luck is not the greatest and I would probably screw something up anyway). I would like some help in figuring out what kind of motherboard I should get for a computer that has:

AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB

anything else I should also LOOK into? Like POWERSUPPLY? Quote from: alijayadv on December 02, 2011, 09:11:44 PM

I am planning on getting a custom computer built ...
AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition
ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB

I'd go along with the general ASUS recommendation for the mobo. The power supply is something to consider but only after everything else has been specified (otherwise you don't know what you need).

The disk subsystem is commonly overlooked - it isn't simply a matter of hooking up a drive of the right capacity. A good smart controller (not the built into motherboard one) and good drives can make a big difference. For anything other than a gaming machine more so that the GPU. A quality SAS controller and drives are not cheap but transform a sluggish machine into fast and responsive one.

I recently had someone hack my computer running VirtualBox OSE with XP & ended up loosing my audio & the last device with no driver seems to be Device ID:
ACPI\PNP0700\4&1D401FB5&0
 
I suspect this to be my PCI bus or something related to my soundcard but I can't be certain. It's running on an HP M2N68-LA Narra2 Motherboard & Realtek ALC888s onboard soundcard.

Any help would be appreciated. HP Driver Page...I've already been through all the manufactures drivers, Including third party Uniblue Driver Scanner which also got hacked so it wouldn't work anymore as well as Driverpacks.net but thanks for the suggestion. I ended up deleting that Virtual OS but if anyone ever comes up with a solution feel free to post it. I don't expect that someone else would ever end with a system like my own that also got hacked by the same lame heavy-set old man with a gimp leg, childlike satanist Illuminati idiot hacker that works for level3.net as a software hacker, consultant & developer but It just might end up helping someone else that ends up getting a similar problem with a mysteriously missing driver or family member.

This guy's been messing with me for years & recently let me know it was him all along right along with the 333 of this region that he also happens to be a part of. Screw all the Illuminati, The 333 & the evil trinity they represent right along with their so called "Sun God"(Trapped & canned Satan).

Curse these hackers, removing installed drivers for their nefarious purposes! 

I've always found amusement in people who, when something doesn't work how they expect, blame a "hacker". Salmon Trout: Your sig isn't really much better.

BC_Programmer: I can see your colors(Primary to the Illuminati: Green, Red & Yellow[Golden]) & they shine right through. Taking the fifth aye? Go ahead & deny the truth.Google is your friend:

BC_Programmer is clearly Canadian Illuminati. No need to say much else "Buddy".

Seriously, How much time did you waste on that short little story? Not important either way..

Honestly though, I can see in your avatar a few more things that I wasn't really looking for.

1)Besides the colors that are clearly there(Green, Red, Yellow) There are the others that you were pointing out as well..

Purlple: Known for it's roots in royal families(Privileged Illuminati)  throughout the history of virtually all civilizations.
Blue: You're more than likely referring to royal blue that was generally worn by royal women(See above).
Orange: To represent the Sunrise & Sunset.
Indigo: Clearly what is referred to as Royal Blue.

2)The mountain witch(I mean which, pardon me.) is often seen as sacred & also happens to resemble the pyramids.

3) the hidden 3(I mean B) in your avatar that represents the trinity.

Nice try but there is no need to hide your cowardly & secretive ways, Then again that how the first Italiano's(I mean Illuminati) have done things since the first secretive takeover of Egypt.

if anyone ever comes up with a solution feel free to post it.

Whenever my sister turns on her LAP top, both of our Internets disconnect for about 5 MINUTES. I'm hooked up directly and she is running off of our wireless. I can still access our wireless with my PHONE without any TROUBLE. Any tips?

Any tips?

This message came up when I turned on my computer, I am unable to get into WINDOWS XP Pro. I had computer go to the CD drive as first option and tried my re-installation disk it went as far as asking me if i wanted to install windows or repair windows  , when i PRESS r for repair it will not go any further .. any help pleaseTry these steps

1. Insert the Microsoft Windows XP CD. Note: If you have a recovery CD or a restore CD and not a Microsoft Windows XP CD it is likely the below steps will not resolve your issue.
2. REBOOT the computer, as the computer is starting you should see a message to press any key to boot from the CD. When you see this message press any key.
3. In the Microsoft Windows XP setup menu press the R key to enter the recovery console.
4. Select the operating system you WISH to fix, and then enter the administrator password.
5. Type expand d:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_ c:\windows\system32
6. You will then be prompted if you wish to overwrite the file type Y and press enter to overwrite the file.
7. Type exit to reboot the computer.

I'm experiencing problems watching videos on YouTube. The videos get interrupted (blacked out), and I get an onscreen message telling me that my Display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator for WINDOWS Vista (R) stopped responding. What am I supposed to do to fix this problem?

Also, why is it telling me about Widows Vista (R), when I'm in fact using Windows 7?

Any help would be much appreciated!I was getting similar messages while I was playing games. It turned out that I had a Windows Vista display driver installed, despite the fact that I was running Win 7 on that machine. What you have to do, is to get the latest Windows 7 drivers for your system.

Do you know the exact model of your Intel GPU?

No - SORRY I don't know the exact model of my Intel GPU. Do you know how I might find out?

Also - if I can't find it, can I still fix the problem and how?What is the motherboard Make and Model # ? ?

The proper driver will be at the MBoard manuf. site...Make & Model are:

Gigabyte GA G41MT S2P (Rev: 1.3)Vista Drivers...

Note: Thes are for the 32bit version of Vista...if you have the 64bit ver. you need to select it from the OS BOX on the RIGHT...Please excuse my ineptitude, but I'm still a bit unsure of which one to download. I'm using Windows 7, but I think that my current driver is Windows Vista (R)? So do I download Win7 or Vista? Also I'm not sure whether I am 32 or 64 bit. Basic features of my Computer tell me that I'm using a 32-bit Operating System, but my booklet on my Intel Pentium Processor, gives my model as Intel 64 Architecture. Not sure what this all means?You need the 32bit Win7 graphics Driver.Thanks. Also - do I need to uninstall my old Intel Graphics Accelerator (and if so how do I do it)?Not neccessary...DLoad the new one to the Desktop...double clik the file to run it...then re-boot when it completes.Much Obliged - Thanks!!Anytime...Welcome ABOARD !

hello there im new here i just wanna ask how to install SCSI driver.Hello and welcome,
what would you like to do with the driver? Anyways, it seems that such drivers are included with any Linux Distribution.Thats the 2nd time you brought up Linux in your suggestions...any reason ? ?thanks for reply nothing im just curious about itgood infoA Google sear for "SCSI Driver for Windows" (no QUOTES) will bring up sites that CLAIM to have the answer. Some MAY be free.
Otherwise, it is best to go to the site of the manufacturing of the SCSI card your have. Or do you have a MAC?
If you want to put Windows on a INTEL based Apple, PLEASE say so.This device is usually the hard drive controller.
Yes, search your manufacturer support drivers website.
