Solve : what driver??

Answer»

Quote from: computeruler on June 26, 2008, 02:45:52 PM

seems pretty good in some fps with graphics on almost high ones from like 05 and 06

Games have changed a bit since then. The X1050 (a.k.a. the Radeon 9550) doesn't support some new games, like Mass Effect and other games that REQUIRE 3.0 shading.

I had a 9550 for a long time and found the ATI driver to be the best one to use. I never got better performace from custom drivers and this card.so i should just stay with the driver from the cd or what ever and custom drivers wont make a difference?I didn't use any benchmarking software, but my eyes didn't NOTICE any difference.Quote from: squall_01 on June 26, 2008, 03:37:06 PM
Ignore the posted made

If you made any POSTS that didn't work out squall just delete them.
I should but too lazy to get around to it. Will do it soon.3dguru is a great SITE for drivers. I would use the newest driver they have thats certified for your card, avoid betas. It easy to update drivers and its always best to have the LATEST ones as they help with newer games. I also wouldnt bother too much with modded drivers like Omega. You can try them but the gains are usually minimal if at all.

Solve : Problems installing nvidia motherboard drivers?

Answer»

For a while now whenever I try to install my motherboard drivers (Nvidia 590 SLI AMD). I get a MESSAGE stating I have drivers installed and need to remove them to complete the install. I went to Add/Remove Programs, and only my nvidia video drivers were there. Is there some place that i should look for them or any other program that MAY be stopping the install from happening?I believe, if you start installing NEW drivers, it'll ask you, if you want to remove old ones.When you go to add/remove programs click on the nvidia driver. Then it will ask you what you want to uninstall, the motherboard driver, display driver, etc. Choose to uninstall motherboard driver then reboot in safe mode.Get driver cleaner pro, its free. RUN it in safe mode. Select nvidia chipset, nvidia wdm, and nvidia stereo from the list, it will uninstall LEFT behind registry entries from the old install. Reboot again and install your new board drivers.

Solve : Need help finding my Sound Driver!?

Answer»

Hi, I recently reformatted my Windows and I forgotten to back up my drivers. Well, I managed to FIND my video driver, but I just couldn't find my SOUND driver. I used PCWizard and EVEREST Home, and I managed to find something: "82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller". I'm guessing this is my audio device, and I need a driver for it. I tried going to driverguide and using google FREQUENTLY, but UNFORTUNATELY I just could not find my driver. Could anyone be so kind to provide me links to the driver? Thanks!Who makes your motherboard and what is the model number?

Also, what OS are you using?http://downloadcenter.intel.com/download.aspx?url=/12170/eng/wdm3516b_Cadenza.exe&agr=N&ProductID=889&DwnldId=12170&strOSs=All&OSFullName=All+Operating+Systems&lang=eng

Thats what you need. You have an Intel board.

Solve : AutoPlay not working?

Answer»

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help solve an autoplay problem I have with my flashdrive. When I plug it in it normally should start up and ask to start Splash Screen.exe but it recently stopped working. Here's what the autoplay file looks like:
Code: [Select][autorun]
action=Show Splash Screen
shellexecute=autosplash.exe
icon=lex.ico
label=Lexar FlashDrive


shell=Lexar

shell\Menu\command=autosplash.exe
shell\Menu=Drive Menu
For other information, (Not sure if this helps) I posted the log here after MICROSOFT's AutoplayFix said it was unable to fix the problem.
Code: [Select]AutoFix [V5.2.3790.67]

>> Required action: The wizard found problems but cannot fix them -> None

Does autoplay work for other devices, like CD/DVD drive?Now that I think about it, my other flash drives work in that drive but the LEXAR doesn't...Does that help at all?Can you check it on another computer?Not RIGHT now, but for more information, when I do plug it in it tells me it's a high speed device in a low speed port. Would that have any effect?I can see, you're on XP, right?
Are all Windows updates current?
Does the other flash drive give you same message: "high speed device in a low speed port"?
It looks like Lexar reads your port as USB 1.1.1. Yes I'm using XP Home Edition
2. Updated Completely
3. Yes, the other flash drives create the speed message

Also, I can still run the autoplay by right-clicking the drive and clicking autoplay but the function where it would pop up and ask to run the program suddenly quit working. And the usb port has autoplay enabled. (Checked with TweakUI and Autoplay tab)Are you SAYING, that other Flash drives will autoplay, but Lexar won't?
Do CDs, DVDs autoplay?
Any errors in Device Manager?No, it's just the LEXAR. It might be the way I layed out the Autorun file, (First post) but it was working before.Try this:
Download, and run fix.bat: Click here
Restart computer.

Hi

I have a IBM Thinkpad T41P with windows XP service pack 3. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the usb hubs and controllers that did not work.

Solve : IF I wanted to reformatt xp how can I back up my drivers?

Answer»

I reformatted xp with the recovery disc that came with my computer. After reinstalling windows I put the drivers and utilities cd in. So my question is, can I make a list of the drivers I will need to REINSTALL, or just back up my drivers. Or burn the specific drivers I need to a cd before install. You see, I had dell help me over the phone and they just connected to my computer and installed the drivers. Now I am out of warranty and IF I ever wanted to reformatt, I am lost on this DRIVER thing. There is a bunch of drivers on the recovey disc I do not need.http://www.innovative-sol.com/drivermax/I almost had a hard attack over this. I was think I should probably GO ahead and buy this, then I saw FREE. I f I was drinking coffe I would have spit it all over the SCREEN. I will sleep better tonight, thanksKeep coffee away from your computer And the Beer...Beer is actually more important than computer, so keep computer away from beer.I sit CORRECTED...Very well, then Nudge...nudge.............say no more.

Ahem! Many people would be surprised to find that for whatever software needs you have, there is almost always a free alternative. And in many cases, the free software is better than the expensive stuff.I agree. If someone else buys the beer, it is a lot better.

Solve : Driver updater??

Answer»

Is there a free driver updater that searches your whole computer and installs all new drivers? It has to be free! Anything would help. I just don't want to have to go throught the process of downloading them manually and installing the 1 by 1! It takes too long!

thx in advance!

http://www.radarsync.com/ Quote from: computeruler on June 13, 2008, 08:47:57 PM

http://www.radarsync.com/

By any CHANCE have you tried this program being recommended ? ?While I haven't personally tested it, the free version is supposed to scan your system, find the drivers, download them and install them only, and only when you tell it to, but it's ad supported. Little or no tech support is provided should you have problems with their program or a driver it downloads.

The paid version ($24.95/year) gives you automatic SCANS for new drivers, notifications, etc. with no ads. Tech support is provided with a "within 24 hours" guaranteed response time.

CNET has the free download, but its user rating is only 2.5/5. There are 6 reviews for the current version, and 50+ reviews for previous versions, a lot of them very negative.

I STILL prefer to download and install my driver updates manually and only as needed. No sense updating unless it's really necessary.The reason i asked compruler is because it installs not one but 2 toolbars....
Also some of the reviews on it were less than glowing.

I tend to only recommend products that do what they're supposed to without installing things you don't want or need....Quote from: patio on June 14, 2008, 07:03:10 AM

I totally agree with Patio. I would definitely not recommend downloading this. Too MUCH negative feedback from users, extra garbage comes with it...Quote

You can opt out during installation.
I installed it, just to try it, and it seems to be doing pretty good job:

Obviously, like always with those kind of programs, you have to use your brain, and decide what you want to update, and what not.
In general, I don't update drivers, if there is nothing wrong with them, but the program tracks also available applications updates.I'll wait 3 weeks for an updated review...
Does it run on Vista ? ?

Solve : Need 2 drivers for Win98?

Answer»

I need two drivers for my win 98 system.
1 for a Hitachi GF 1000 DVD RAM drive (can't find it anywhere)

1 for an HP internal 16 CD write PLUS drive ( on kp site they want to
sell a cd.

I think Ive tried everywhere.

Thanks for any HELP
or steering me in a good direction.HP internal 16 CD write plus drive ---->DownloadLinkThanks;
I will try it.
Someone told me that drivers are not
needed for WIN98. That I have
to load a cd from a vendor that burns
cd and dvd.
I have a nero disc that may do the trick.

For the DVD-RAM I heard that You need a special
dvd disc that is different from a typical RW disc.
It supposedly has lots of rectangle looking images on the
surface.
And they are very expensive..
I can buy a dvd -rw drive from pricewatch cheaper than
one or two discs.That DVD RAM drive doesn't burn DVDs...

It is only a DVD ROM drive, but it can burn CDs.

Per Hitachi: DVD-ROM/R, CD-ROM/R/RW disc compatible

Windows 98 should be able to detect the drive. However...in order to USE it to its FULLEST capacity...you'll need software and codecs in order for it to function properly...specifically for the DVD capabilities.

If your version of Nero plays DVDs, as well as play/burn CDs...then you should be in business.

Give it a go...and keep us posted...
Some confusion here....

Quote

A DVD format wherein DVD-RAM discs can be recorded and erased repeatedly but are only compatible with devices manufactured by the companies that support the DVD-RAM format. DVD-RAM discs are typically housed in cartridges.
It works more, or LESS like hard drive.

DVD ROM is "read only" DVD drive.

Solve : Drivers?

Integrated sound, drivers are installed but not started. CHECKED bios/cmos, uninstalled/reinstalled, updated. nothing works,any help would be great. Thanks.
running xp.would really like to have sound.Have it WORKED before?yes, about 2 months ago. system restore does not go back far enough to fixHave you installed something before prior to this?
noDoes your XP detects your AUDIO device? No question MARKS on Device Manager?

What's the model of your motherboard?It would also help us if we knew the manufacturer and model number of your computer.a friend came by & dropped off a motherboard only, turned out to be a Toshiba V3100., Whatever that is. Can't find it on web.I do not have the history on this motherboard, nor do i know of its components., But the sound did work on it. Replaced desktop speakers. Microphone does not work either.The Toshiba V3100 is the model number of a desktop manufactured by Toshiba.

Based on a search of their Support pages, I found the following link to driver downlaods for that particular model.

Here's the link: Available Drivers for Toshiba V3100

I certainly hope the link provides you with the drivers you need in order to get the sound working again.I APPRECIATE all your help, but the drivers on that link are older than what i have.
I just don't understand why windows says drivers are installed but have not been started. Confused and left out...Have you tried running services.msc from the Start/Run menu to see if the Windows Audio Service has been started?There are several items not starting, modules missing, start &stopping, windows audio says device not functioning., device manager states no problems....but have you tried restarting the Windows Audio Service? Missing modules...items not functioning...sounds like a corrupt operating system.

Have you tried a repair installation? Do you have any important items that need to be backed up?

To me...a repair installation and/or a clean install may fix the problem.

I'd probably set the BIOS to defaults, first, then do a clean install...but, hey...that's just me.Do you have Windows XP CD?

Solve : Installing a printer?

Answer»

My mum recently bought an ASUS EEE PC with linux operating system. The salesman also sold her a canon pixma mp210 and said it would work with the computer. When she asked me to install it I thought it would work as a plug and play and the drivers would install automatically when plugged in. This did not work. The printer was also not listed in the available printer list. The salesperson said that the computer was windows compatible. Does this mean that windows based applications can be loaded on or does this mean that windows os can be loaded on if linux is taken off. I guess what I really want to know is can I use the windows printer installation disc to install the printer? I have had no experience whatsoever with linux so I am in the dark. Can anyone help. I have also posted this on the linux forum in the hope that someone can help. Thank you.If the EEE is running Linux, the salesman ought to be ashamed.

Certain brands of Linux are sophisticated enough to install printers now, but an install on a Linux system usually takes a bit of work.

I've only been in front of an Asus EEE once. I liked what I saw, but I was told by the owner that the version of Linux was pretty basic.

I was at the Asus site earlier, trying to find more information about all this, but have not yet found it.

* * * * * * *

OK, I'm back, and more idiotic than ever!

If it's a Windows systems, salesman should still be ashamed. Yes, many, many DEVICES plug and play on Windows, because (for all Microsoft's faults) they've done a pretty good job of keeping up with drivers for devices, but there are so many different printers, and other devices, that Windows can't automatically run them all. The salesperson should have known better than to make a "blanket" statement that the printer would plug and play.

DEPENDING UPON THE VERSION OF WINDOWS ON THE ASUS COMPUTER, the Windows Vista/XP/2000 driver can be downloaded HERE.

There was no Linux driver for that model Pixma. HERE is some information about Linux compatibility with certain printers.

In the meantime, it's time for salesman-of-the-year to step up and make good on his word, or exchange the printer for something more compatible. (I'm not as Linux-knowledgeable as I want to be, but as a very GENERAL rule, I like HP printers for compatibility with Linux.)

In the meantime, I put out an e-mail to the person whom I know that has ONE of these and see what he did for printing.

I do not believe the Linux operating system will load the Windows driver.

* * * * * * *

My contact writes back that he was able to run his printer plug-and-play to GNU/Linux.
Do not feel badly -- I am almost certain he's using an HP printer, and am double-checking with him now.Thank you for your help. I really appreciate you going to so much trouble. I have been to canon site etc. I have even sent a message off to asus but have had no response yet. I talked to my mum this afternoon and she said she may take it all back even the asus. She is so disappointed. I feel like I have failed her in advising her as I went with her to ask the questions she didnt know to ask. She is 72 years old and not very computer literate (yet). So thanks again for your help. The Asus is a great little system in terms of portability and durability; however, your mom might be better off with a more conventional laptop that runs WinXP or some such, and has a built-in CD-ROM, etc. I still blame the salesperson -- really, I do.

Linux is much, much better at plug and play than it was even a few years ago, as the open-source development community scrambles to produce driver software that runs all the printers and so forth that are out there.

I do not consider myself expert, but I would've steered you to a basic HP printer; yes, the all in ones are lovely -- I probably would've tested the product line I had for sale to know which printers work with GNU/Linux.

I don't blame your mom for returning everything, but I'd like to see the issue resolved with another printer.Hi Aegis

Thank you again for your comments. I agree whole heartedly with you. It was the salesman's fault. My mum hasn't taken the computer or printer back as yet. She is still 'playing with the computer' and I really feel she will learn to love it. We are definitely taking the printer back though. Do you suggest that we steer clear of multifunction printers and just go for a basic hp. Epson was also one that was mentioned in the manual. I have been to both of these sites and they both have downloads available for linux. If she still wants to GET a printer and scanner combination, do you know if I would have to download drivers for printer and a separate driver for scanner component? (That is if the printer does not have a CD in the box for linux). Don't worry if you don't know. I can go to the websites and have a look myself. I just thought you may know. By the way I really like your picture of Spock. I USED to be a fan of the original Star Trek. Would still be if it was still on the box.

TaTer --

You should be able to get a driver set that will run the multifunction HP's or Epsons. I don't know much more than that, but you're on the right track.

I'm glad your mom's giving the computer a chance. I think it's a great little system, and I'm a BIG fan of linux, even though I'm currently using XP on my computer.

For the price, you may as well get a multifunction printer. Don't blame you at all.

My better half found the Trek avatar for me, somewhere. It's great -- pokes a bit of gentle fun at Mr. Spock.

Do by all means research as much as you can on the drivers. If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll poke around a bit, too.Ta Very Much but don't go to too much trouble on my behalf. You have already helped me more than you know. Bye for nowHave you looked ?------------->Here

You still need to kick the salesman in his................

Solve : need to look for drivers?

Answer»

Helo every, i need help, is thier anyone could help me look for the drivers of mitac 8500, for vista and xpDriver for what?mitac laptop
Drivers are basically a way for the computer to talk to other COMPONENTS and hardware.
What driver for what piece of hardware are you looking for?

Why dont you try searching Google? Type in the model of your laptop and pick from the results there..i tried but still the drivers arent there.... could anyone thier give me hint on how to look on its chipsetWe need to know, what drivers you need, and your computer SPECS...

Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
Open it, click Computer, then Summary.
In UPPER menu, go Report>Quick Report-Summary
Save it in text file, and paste it in your next post.
Don't include anything under line Debug - PCI My guess is that Helo probably cannot access the
internet with his NEWLY scrubbed machine.

I have a similar problem with internet access in my barn.
My wireless NIC will not work on my Win 98 FE to my
wireless router in the house. And I only have CAT 3 cable
out to the barn and my splicing CAT 5 cables to it results in
no activity.

I think Helo has to download Everest on another machine and
burn it to a cd. However he is sending internet messages?thanks alot mr broni....I didn't do anything...Quote from: Broni on June 10, 2008, 10:40:18 PM

Solve : Netvista need drivers?

Answer»

I was lucky enough to win about 40 IBM
NetVista and NetBios? desk top and
tower PCs. Along with them I also won
a similar number of SAMSUNG Syncmaster 750S.

They were scrubbed by the company to prevent piracy
and no software was included.

I started to GET some working using my WIN98 disk, the
computers have Win 98, ME and 2000 certificates on them COA.
Since all software was gone I have no drivers for the graphics
(Intel 815, S3 Trio3D, S3 Savage,) CD/s CD RW, DVD-RAM
of internal Sound systems, Network ethernet card, etc.

I temp installed a copy of XP on the netvista machine and the graphics and
internal sound worked, but I can't sell any machine with XP.

How can I find out with WIN 98 what driver I need?
Is there a place that shows computer components?

I plan on looking to get about $70 for a COMPLETE setup.

Phone number, and email address removed for security reasons
You should try Everest.---------->Here To ID your
components. The graphics drivers should be at the below site.

That program is great.

internal speakers are working great.

I also used it on the IBM 300GL machine and
it also had a sound card. The driver for that

It may not be compatible with windows 98,,,Do you have

Solve : Installing drivers...getting error message?

Answer»

I'm trying to install two driver updates for system devices, VIA CPU to AGP controller and VIA Standard CPU to CPI Bridge, both from DriverAgent.com, and I am getting to following message:



Can someone explain this or tell me what I need to do to fix this?

Mind Computer
Intel Celeron 1.80GHz
256 MB Ram
WinXP Home
SP2
AVG free,Spybot, Ad-aware, RegCure, SUPERAntiSpyware, CCleaner, HyJackthis, Malwarebytes' Anti-MalwareSee the solution Microsoft provides:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888019


CheersDid you pay for those downloads?
DriverAgent.com is not a free service.piaaz.....I followed your link, and I managed to find the version of the InstallShield engine needed for the two drivers, however, when I tried to load the engine , I got the following message :



Sufficient access to the key? What support personnel? I had to abort because retrying did nothing and when I ignored it and loaded it anyway, I would get the original error message when trying to install the drivers. I tried loading alternative drivers, none would get past that message. This may not be significant but, all the drivers that did load and work, were .cab files, while the ones that would not work, were .zip files. I extracted the .zip files, ran the setup.exe file and got the aforementioned '1607' message.
So as I see it, I can't update these drivers because I can't update the InstallShield engine that installs them! I need some input from you pros. I obviously have to get the InstallShield working first.

Broni....of course I paid for them. I knew it was a mistake, even as I was reading them my credit card number, and still, I let them 'brow beat' me into paying for it. This comes from years of being too afraid of asking computer questions and then, being berated for my ignorance.
That's why I'm GLAD I found this site.You're installing those drivers, because...?
What's computer brand, and model?It was thrown together by some computer store employees.This is what I got:

I was installing these drivers at the suggestion of DriverAgent.com. I originally went to them for a bios update, but found it was already up to date. However their scan showed 8 drivers needed updating, so....
Right now, I'm more concerned about the InstallShield problem. I was just hoping one of you guys had already been there, done that.Quote

However their scan showed 8 drivers needed updating
Let's put it this way...if I had a site like DriverAgent.com, I'd tell you, that you need 64 drivers, to MAKE you pay.
I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous to pay for some drivers, which are certainly available on the net for free.
As a rule, you don't update drivers, unless there is something wrong with them.
Let's start from the scratch...
What's wrong with your computer?BTW...more, than anything, you need more RAM, because XP with 256MB won't run too far.Quote from: Broni on June 06, 2008, 08:26:19 PM

What's wrong with your computer?

Actually, I didn't think anything was wrong with it, other than the LOW Ram. It's gotten to a POINT where it's real slow. I read somewhere that you should update your bios and drivers before the memory upgrade. I don't remember the reason, but didn't think it would hurt anything. Typical, I try do something nice for my machine and now InstallShield is shot. Can't win for losing.
Quote
I read somewhere that you should update your bios and drivers before the memory upgrade.
This is totally unnecessary, unless you have some issues with the computer.
You get more RAM, and you'll be fine. This is the cheapest computer upgrade.Will do...and the InstallShield? Do I just leave it?Leave it. Report back, if it gives you problems with any other installs.hello jwfillion correct me if im wrong pls. your problem is you cant install your driver right? if you are using a cd i SUGGEST you to check your cd for scratch if none your cd rom or dvd rom might be not working well, but if you are using a downloaded driver from internet. i suggest you to download it again and try installing it again. if it still not working, i think the problem is on hardware.

Hello one and all. I'm a new-bie to this forum. I'd like a suggestion on what to do in this case. A laptop computer, precisely a TCL K40 chinese-manufactured computer has its hard-drive hidden away from windows INSTALLATION at boot-phase. Where can I locate the SATA/RAID drivers for such a system, or are they any other options. The best answer to this QUESTION, sincerely earns my respect as the very second best computer geek in the world; after me. Chou... I normally reserve this advice as there are some dangerous TOOLS involved...
However i'm assuming you have a decent knowledge of systems and can stay out of trouble if need be,
DLoad the UBCD from Here...
Use it to create a bootable CD.
Then travel to the system info section and run AIDA16 and the 2 other utilities to determine what MBoard and chipset are in that beast.
Travel to the appropiate manuf. site for the drivers and you should be good to go.

DISCLAIMER: If you manage to run the wrong utility and wipe out your HDD; wipe your CMOS data or anything else foolish that can be done with this collection of tools i am not responsible in any way, shape or form.

Okay, so I just got really fed up with Windows Vista and how it was killing my computer, so I downgraded to Windows XP and LOST EVERYTHING...including my sound. I've already tried Windows Update, and it says I'm up-to-date on everything. I've tried going to my computer's website to download the drivers for my specific computer, but they all want me to be running Vista in order for me to USE them. I'm not sure I can find a sound device USING Everest, but I do have a "PCI Device" with a yellow question mark next to it in the Device Manager...but it won't update or reinstall the driver when I try.

I can't seem to find anything that screams "this is the type of sound card you have" to me, and yes, sound has worked on this computer in the past.

I'm running an HP m8100n Media Center PC, on Windows XP with the latest service pack.

And I would really appreciate your help.It's possible that there is no driver available for your device in XP, the driver may only be available for Vista. Here is MajorGeeks on the subject (See Halo's response).

You might be able to use a pci card which has an XP driver, they're not very expensive or you may be able to borrow one for a trial.

Then power down and dis-connect the Cam and re-boot. Install the software and only hook it up when it prompts you...You see, that's the problem. When I tried to remove the driver through add/remove programs, it gave me this error: http://www.speedyshare.com/180492900.html . Also, when I checked device manager, it said that there weren't any drivers installed.

On my drives list I have a PCI device that I cant install.

Is your sound card listed in Device manager?you have probably wiped out your sound device by reformatting. Dell was(is?) using
Sigma Tel audio devices. Had the same problem on my Dim E310. TRY going to dell support and downloading the most current drivers for Sigma Tel audio HD. Then remove the PCI Device while in device manager. Restart your computer and let windows FIND the Pci device and install the drivers you previously downloaded.
If that doesn't work then remove the pci device and go to add hardware and add "audio" device then restart. Hope this helps you.Thanks alot, got it fixed by dowloading drivers from the dell page, realised that this was connected to the unknown PCI device

Solve : V.92 Modem Driver?

Answer»

Hi, Guys. Bought a Dynex model DX-M200 PCMCIA V.92 modem card on Ebay. The driver that CAME with the modem does not have the V.92 update. Nor does the manf website. Running Win XP on my laptop but goes to the default V.90 settings. Highest connect speed has been 31.2Kbps (my desktop connects at 45K on same phone line). The modem query shows that this modem can be UPDATED to V.92. Checked a bunch of the driver websites but cant find any V.92 drivers for this modem. Question is......is there a way to upgrade this modem to the new V.92 standard? Would this be a firmware upgrade? I'm lost! How can you tell if your dial up modem is using the V.92 standard? Any help would sure be appreciated!!

But BEWARE: Using the wrong flash may render the modem inoperable.
The difference you will see from V.90 to V.92 may not be worth the risk at this point...Quote from: patio on April 06, 2008, 09:07:49 AM

I think so too. Here is what I get on the query:

ATI6 - USA 1
ATI7 - Intel Corporation
ATQ0V1E0 - OK
AT+GMM - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+FCLASS=? - 0,1,8
AT#CLS=? - COMMAND NOT SUPPORTED
AT+GCI? - +GCI: B5
AT+GCI=? - +GCI: (00,09,0A,26,31,3C,42,6C,82,9C,A5,B4,B5,B8)
ATI1 - CD08.55 - 738C PCMCIA - DSP PATCH: 3.20
ATI2 - ROM TEST OK
ATI3 - MD56xx
ATI4 - Intel Corporation
ATI5 - Full V.92 Upgradeable
Present, 32K DSP RAM.000
Host I/F:
P. Mem. : 008 Bit 001 W.S.
D. Mem : 008 Bit 001 W.S.
DSP loc : INT ROM
ATI6 - USA 1
ATI7 - Intel Corporation

Got any ideas where I might find the flash for this modem? As usual.......the Dynex help desk is in India! LOL! They go "What's a flash?"
Thanks for all your help!
Tom According to that report you are already at V92...
But just to be sure See Here for a full list of modem reporting features...

Solve : INSTALLING NEW SOFTWARE?

Answer»

I have just bought a Microsoft Web Cam and HP Printer but when I put the discs into the DVD r9 DISC rive - they do not work I also cannot play my CDs like I used to do. As I am not technically minded - can anyone enlighten me please? My tower is a Packard Bell and I am using Windows XP.Your cd/dvd drive could be going bad, how OLD is this pc?Hi - Purchased Dec 2005Welcome to CH ! !
The best way to test if that CD drive has gone bad is to swap it into a working MACHINE...
Do you know someone who can do this for you ? ?
This will TELL you if the problem is the drive itself or it's something in your machine. I am afraid not! Thanks for the information all the same. If, I go through My Computer - I can access it by double clicking on the ICON etc

RosemaryGo to Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager...
Find the CD/DVD drive and right click it and select Properties...
Post back with what it says.

What should i do???Try to run driver installation one more time.
If that doesn't work, download driver one more time.Well Broni;

I restart the computer, try the setup one more time but same results. Download it again and same result!!!!

By the way, i did follow your INSTRUCTION and use it for a laptop that had audio problems, and it work for the laptop... so i guess may be is something wrong with the download drivers Let's try different download.

When you click on download link, on next page select Download this file by viewing a series of ads (no registration required)

Solve : Partitioning my external hard drive?

Answer»

Me again
I have an external Western Digital 300GB hard drive that I have only used as storage BASICALLY. I only have a 6GB hard drive running my operating system. I try to put all my downloads etc. onto the external, but I eventually have the same problem over and over. I know there are ways to partition my 300GB so that I can run an OS on it but I don't know exactly how to do it, and I am so nervous I will mess up and lose files, etc. I need advise and/or instructions badly! Please HELP!

-Thanking you in advance,
kimiismeXP will not boot properly from an external HDD without an awful lot of messing around...this is by design.
The best thing you could do is get a larger INTERNAL hard drive.
You could then use the manuf. software that is Free with the hard drive to "clone" the 6G to the new drive and all your data and programs will be intact and you will now be booting up to the newer larger hard drive...
Post back for more instructions if you decide this is what you want to do...and your external HDD will probably be USB connected. Which is a lot slower.

more internal storage is what you need I just picked up some 200 gig. IDE DRIVES with 8 meg. cache for $40 delivered. Storage has really gotten cheap and should not be a stumbling point.try to clone your 6gb hd to your 300gb hdQuote from: daryllsilorio on June 01, 2008, 04:21:19 AM

try to clone your 6gb hd to your 300gb hd

Are you reading the info before posting suggestions ? ?

Solve : dvd help needed?

Answer»

ok here's the story...I PUT in an ide card to handle my 2 cd's/dvd BURNERS...( well I didn't a company did )... aanyhoo the dvd is the only ONE I care to use so I TOOK it off the card and hooked it up to my second hdd as a slave...now when i go into XPpro device manager it shows up with an exclamation mark beside it saying that " A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)" So when I had the card installed it showed the ide dvd listed as a scsi dvd and I think the registry won't let it go back to an ide dvd...can anyone help? please?Let me get this straight, you put the dvd drive on the same cable as the HD? First of all that's not really recommended. Yeah, you can do it, but it can affect PERFORMANCE of the HD. Anyway, as to your question, Microsoft suggests that you uninstall drivers, scan for hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade drivers.

Here's what they say:

The start type for this driver is set to disabled in the registry. Uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade the driver.

On the General Properties tab of the device, click Troubleshoot to start the Troubleshooting Wizard. If the driver is required, and if reinstalling or upgrading does not work, change the start type in the registry using Registry Editor. For more information, see the Registry Reference in the Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit at:


I'll do a little more searching on the subject, but I hope that helps.Okay, I did bit more searching and found a site that may help with your problem:


It's a Mircosoft support section.

That's all I have for now, hope you get your problem solved. I hate when things don't work right.

Solve : Graphics Card?

Answer»

When I went to boot up my pc - the moniter gave a ticking noise like a spike was GOING through it and wouldn't turn on. I have replaced it with my old 14" moniter and although it works it sometimes spikes and flickers. Is this my graphics card.

Thanks

GlennRestart in Safe Mode, and see, if monitor works fine.try to remove the graphics card and run your computer USING the ONBOARD VIDEO cardQuote

try to remove the graphics card and run your computer using the onboard video card

This assumes there is an on-board video card.

Glenn: are you running video from an installed graphics card in a PCI, AGP, or PCI Express slot, or are you running from the on-motherboard video port?

If there is an on-board video port, and you want to try to use it, remember to access your BIOS settings, and enable on-board video.
