Solve : looking for intel 865pe chipset intallation utility...? |
Answer» At Intel.com if you choose the 865 chipset drivers then select vista (ultimate/any version) x86, all you get to choose from are install versions 8.3.0.1013, 8.2.0.1014, and 8.1.1.1010. All of those versions end up only supporting the p35/q33 chipsets (even though on the site it says it supports 865pe). |

Answer» Does anyone have any drivers for Logitech MouseMan (M-CV46) for DOS and Windows 3.1 ? Possible Street1: I've noticed in other threads that you can sniff out drivers. I poked around here: ftp://ftp.logitech.com/pub/techsupport/mouse Check out mouse.txt . See if you think mouse.exe is what Stefanos D. needs.

Well,WillyW when you double click on M83setup.exe in your link and download it ,thenExtract those files to a FOLDER..You then have a copy of Disk1 and Disk2. Looks PRETTY good to me. Perhaps that is what Stefanos D. is looking for. That link will be saved by me WillyW thanks for finding it. Quote from: street1 on September 25, 2007, 06:34:36 PM Well,WillyW when you double click on M83setup.exe When you read mouse.txt you decided that mouse.exe was not what he needs? Quote in your If he is reading along, maybe he's already TRIED it. Quote That link will be saved by me WillyW thanks for finding it. Who needs driverguide.com or whatever - We have street1 !!

Solve : Why two hard dives? |
Answer» I have a Packard Bell with 2 hard drives 1x HDD (c) One could be a partion drive Hey,Spero-T....Real good discription. I like that.Thanks ! Very creative, Spero. Another thing I think I'll go ahead and mention: As some of you might know, if you're copying something from C:\ to another directory in C:\, the copying could be done in about 5 minutes (depending on file size) but if you're copying a file from C:\ to C:\ and at the same time, a file from D:\ into D;\, the time for copying will be like 20 minutes because it's like being in two rooms in once Quote from: Carbon Dudeoxide on September 10, 2007, 07:04:26 AM Very creative, Spero. Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I believe all credit goes to Radified... http://partition.radified.comQuote from: CBMatt on September 10, 2007, 11:34:06 PM Not to be a killjoy or anything, but I believe all credit goes to Radified...Many thanx to all who answered my Post: "Why two hard drives." All of your replies were informative & very helpfull Especialy to me as I am still going through the learning curve Admiral No swet... But you cant thank me... I did nothing.... it was all Radified..... Yup, to me, windows exists on one drive, and other stuff exist on second drive (maybe backup). So... drive 1 is where I live, and drive 2 is my summer vacation house. elxr06 mentioned having windows on one hard drive and everything else on a second, is this a better way to use two hard drives? As opposed to having windows and all your programs and media on the same hard drive. Would you keep all your media and drivers on the second drive? Quote from: Admiral on September 05, 2007, 09:20:15 AM I have a Packard Bell with 2 hard drives 1x HDD (c) There's nothing here to say that C: and D: are different physical hard drives, they may just be partitions on the same hard drive. Like all electronic/mechanical devices a hard drive can fail at any time and if you only have one hard drive, even if there are two partitions, you lose the lot, operating system, programs and data, none of which might be recoverable.. With two physical hard drives, one (generally the slave) can be used for backup by either using cloning software or simply copying. Regardless of which media type you decide to use for backup the backup should be updated regularly. The operating system and programs can always be re-installed but data files created over a period are extremely difficult to rebuild. Good luck on your learning curve Admiral Quote from: johnvarles on September 27, 2007, 04:21:10 PM elxr06 mentioned having windows on one hard drive and everything else on a second, is this a better way to use two hard drives? As opposed to having windows and all your programs and media on the same hard drive. Would you keep all your media and drivers on the second drive? Hello johnvarles - welcome to the CH forums. My PREFERENCE is to keep the operating system and programs in one partition (C:) on one physical hard drive, data files etc on a second partition (D:) on the same physical drive. Backup is a second physical hard drive which is a duplicate of the first (partitions E: and F:). Other long-term backup is burned to cd's. Good luck. |

Solve : dvd rom no longer plays dvd's. why?? |
Answer» HI i have reasently purchased the dvd perfect stranger and as i allways do i tryed to make a backup copy for general use.afterwords i would place the original in to my collection to keep it pristeen.i use dvd shrink and dvd decrypter to accomplish this.an error MESSAGE came up in the dvd shrink program telling me that it can not complete the task due to unknown copywrite protection.so i shut down the program and tried it again,thats when i discovered my dvd rom no longer worked properly.the dvd rom will still read music cd's both original and burned.it will read dvd-r's that do not have copy wright matterial on it.it will not read dvd-rw's or dvd MOVIES both original and burned.i strongly suspect the dvd perfect stanger caused this problem.what i need to know is, is there away to get to the dvd rom to change the settings hoping that thats all thats needed.and if so how?or will i have to use the windows xp cd to repair the problem.my system is windows xp PRO version 2002 pentium 4 2.4 ghz 512 mb of ram custum builti hope i have explained my problem well enough.and i hope you can help.thank you all.Sounds like the DRM people are getting slicker...google for DRM movie listings and see if your title is on the list...I have heard of this happening...Sony released a Audio-CD a while back that when placed into a computer, silently INSTALLED a program that stopped their own disks running due to too tight DRM protection, and it killed 100's of computer's OSes across the globe. I heard a fix was to hold the shift key down while inserting the disk...This disables Autorun and it should work from there, though do it once to make the accesibility feature thing show up and disable the hotkey for it (hold shift for 5+ seconds) and then try the disk again |

Solve : Formating my harddrive. Help!? |
Answer» Over the past few weeks, I have found my computer running slower, and slower. I wasn't too sure why, until about a week ago - when I download some free removal software, and virus scanners. A lot of spyware/trojans and such had attached themselves to my OS. I have REMOVED almost all of them, but I am afraid that I will never get rid of them all. So, I have decided to just start over clean and fresh, by reformatting. Do you have a 3.5 floppy drive? Sure do.If you format your data is gone...how will you install Windows without a Windows CD ? ?I have an older version of Windows XP PRO disk. I just can't downgrade, from what I have currently (Somehow, a newer version?)Gotcha. If you are confident the older ver. CD will work and you're ready to take the plunge AND have backed up all the data you need then travel to bootdisk.com and DLoad the bootdisk for WinME. Use the file to create a bootable floppy. Power down and put the floppy in and power up. At the A: prompt type format C: /u.....There is no turning back after this... and hit Enter. Open the CD tray and put in your XP CD...remove the floppy and re-boot. XP SETUP will now run. Follow the prompts and instructions and Good Luck. |

Solve : Reformated Hard Drive; New Install; Need Network Controller driver now? |
Answer» I formated hard drive on Toshiba, Portege 7000ct laptop, and installed win 2000, but can't connect to internet-lack of driver for network controller. Everest Home is attached. Not sure what other drivers I need so help would be appreciated. I can not do ms updates and can't download svs pack for win 2000. I have a red! at network controller! Network Adapter Intel 8255x-based PCI Ethernet Adapter (10/100)This is what you need driver for. Probably Intel web site would be the best place to find it.As a matter of fact, I found it for you here: http://www.intel.com/design/network/drivers/index.htm Look in: 82550, 82551QM, 82558, 82559 and 82562 DriversThe drivers listed will not work; I've used them all..one at a time. Intel site did not have correct driver either and now searching through Toshiba. I keep getting messages that my AGP is disabled and ASPI is not working. Are there drivers for these as WELL? In device mgr, I have ? mark on other devices and ? and ! marks on network controller but no info on mfg. or driver info..the location is cardbus slot (PCI bus 20, device 0, functior) and the status is: the drivers for this device are not installed. Should I uninstall the device? Or try finding driver? Here is a listing of available drivers for that machine. Have you contacted Toshiba ? ? I would try This One FirstToshiba is a pain!!! I used to have Toshiba rig, and their support is just non-existing!!! Now... Quote The drivers listed will not workQuote I have ? mark on other devices and ? and ! marks on network controllerWhat do you mean by, they won't work? How did you install them? You download this: Controllers, Intel® 82550 FAST Ethernet Controller, Intel® 82558 32-bit PCI Bus LAN It comes in self-extracting ".exe" file. You run it, then you go to Device Manager, right click on "network controller" (that one with "!"), and click "Update driver". Windows can't find it, or what's the story?As for: Quote AGP is disabledyou may need new driver for: Quote Motherboard Chipset Intel 82440BX/ZX As for: Quote ASPI is not workingI'm not sure, but I think, it has something to do with your CD/DVD drive. Where is it listed in your Everest? |

Solve : OS Requirements for Upgrading from Windows 98 to XP? |
Answer» I meet all of the requirements for upgrading to XP exept one. Agreed, Street1, More than enough space but system will be very slow considering rest of the hardware. Add another 128 stick of RAM and throw Win2K on there and you will have a HAPPY machine...I just upgraded RAM to 512 & ordered DSL high speed, which will bring me out of the dark ages of dial up. I also am bidding on Windows XP upgrade. My current processor is Intel Celeron 400MHZ on my SIMILAR Gateway PC that just crashed, it has a Intel P2 Model5 448MHz processor, would this be worthwhile to swap it into my current PC for faster speed?400 MHz is pretty slow for an XP... |

Solve : No sound, driver installed (I think)? |
Answer» I bought my computer from a friend of a friend. The sound worked, but, after a short period of time, I absolutely wrecked the computer and was forced to reinstall windows without getting the drivers. I don't even know what they were. When I logged in, no sound was playing, and I kept getting error messages while playing music and games. After a while, I installed a driver, (realtek '97, i think, but I don't know how to check). The error messages stopped, but no sound came through. Now it's as if I have no speakers. I also tried my headphones, which a know to work. In the device manager, there is a yellow -!- at Multimedia Audio Controller. Did you try install the driver?is there still yellow at the Multimedia audio controller? With the correct driver it should be fine I think the driver's installed, it's icon is in the taskbar, and it's the right one. The yellow ! is still there By the way, in the multimedia audio controller's properties, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" Did you enable the sound in the BIOS ? |

Solve : This forum is about drivers, not drives!? |
Answer» It's beginning to irritate me when people post questions about disk drives on here... It's beginning to irritate me when people post questions about disk drives on here... If that is all it takes, then you are too easily irritated. Try our best and remain civil, you say monitor and I say Super Video GRAPHICS Adapter..You say GUI and I say Graphical User Interface..All these are for helping. Lord knows you cannot get thru to Microsoft and who wants help when they speak a foreign LANGUAGE.Uhm...I'm afraid I just asked a question about drives here. But English isn't my first language so I here by excuse myself. I know it can seem a BIT bothersome at times, contrex, but you have to KEEP in mind that if people are asking for help here, they likely don't know much about computers and often don't know the difference between a drive and a driver. Everyone's a little ignorant about something. If you went a forum about frilly underwear, you might annoy a few people with your lack of knowledge. Unless you know a fair deal about frilly underwear, in which case my example isn't very effective.Doesn't matter same thing.Quote from: tommy gusack on October 29, 2007, 10:17:14 AM Doesn't matter same thing. ? What do you mean? PLEASE explain. Sorry! It is not the same, but still, we must help in any way we can no matter what the topic is about right ?Quote from: tommy gusack on October 29, 2007, 11:07:14 AM Sorry! It is not the same, but still, we must help in any way we can no matter what the topic is about right ? There is a limit tommy and you are getting worse than PeckerWood on Prozac..... Sorry,about hijacking your thread contrex. Our little Tommy is acting up again. |

Solve : Internal Ethernet driver (Nevermind!)? |
Answer» My MOTHERBOARD is an ASUS A7N8X-X, I can't connect to the internet I'm assuming until I find the driver for the internal ETHERNET connection.. You're not stupid...you kept going until you found it didn't you ? ? Perhaps this calls for a few Forrest Gump quotes but, I am being a good boy today. |

Solve : BIOS update? |
Answer» ok, I downloaded a BIOS update for my IBM NetVista 8303. However, Im kinda scared to actually flash my BIOS because of some horror stories I heard....... my hard drive is bigger than detected, but i guess it is already formatted as 120Gb when I first installed windows, But I dont know if after flashing my BIOS and it detects my hard drive as 250Gb Are you sure you have the right BIOS flash file? Make sure you have the right one....and...do you really need to flash your BIOS, and why?the main reason i want to flash it is because I WANTED it to detect my whole hard drive not just part of it...... I got the BIOS flash from Lenovo web site.. I don't see the 8300 listed. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-42952.htmlDo you have SP2 installed ? ? A HDD SIZE limitation is not neccessarily a BIOS issue...unfortuantely I dont have service packs installed. Would getting these help out?? I'll get them and then see if it worksSP2 allows Windows to properly see HDD's bigger than 137G... And it is a major OS upgrade as well.What patio said is nicely explained here: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/printpage/482/2 Quote Windows ME, NT, 2000 and XP without SP1 or SP2 don't recognize hard drives over 128 GB as they don’t support 48-bit LBA addressing...127.5GB, or 136GB depending on your GB definition... |

Solve : Drives disappear suddenly? |
Answer» I have two CD/DVD drives. In the last couple of days, whenever I insert a disc into either of them, both their icons turn into what you see in the screenshot bellow. Giving your PC shock therapy isn't the answer to everything.I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. System Restore is a legitimate Windows tool, not a butcher.OK, my Linux installation CD just got left inside a drive when it went MIA again. And when I say *my CD* I mean *CD I borrowed from my teacher*. Tried system restore, doesn't work. I'm losing my *censored* mind. Is there anyone who can tell me what is going on or do I have to open the drive with a crowbar in order to retreive the CD, which I have to return tommorow?There is a pinhole on the FRONT of the drives...straighten out a paper clip and insert it pressing gently til the drive door opens... I would then delete your desktop shortcuts...travel to Device Manager and right clik each drive and select uninstall. You will get an error message...ignore it. Re-boot and Windows will automatically re-install the drives. You can then re-create the shortcuts and you should be good to go. |
