just installed XP in my dell pc the vga ISNT finding my new larger monitor . nor can i find the monitor in my pc  who can helpTravel to the Dell site...enter your SERVICE TAG#...and DLoad and install the appropiate VIDEO drivers.

I just got a new pc with the asus p8p67 LE mobo. I't will not let me update my drivers. I HONESTLY don't know what I am doing. And its starting to annoy me. I can't contact their HELP bureau becausxe whenever i call them it says no one is free at the moment and i should call BACK later. My PC restarts itself randomly and this is what my TECH guy told me to do, but i don't know how to do it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You in advance.You didn't say what version of Windows?
Why do you need to update drivers?
Why do you want to update the BIOS?
http://support.asus.com/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&m=P8P67 LE&p=1&s=39Let's start at the beginning. Are you trying to update your bios or your drivers? How are you trying to do it and what happens when you try? And as asked above, WHY are you doing this?

I  have an issue with a Fujitsu Lifebook T2010. The previous OS crapped out so XP has been installed from an image we use.It is not the TABLET pc XP version so I am missing some much needed drivers specifically for the touchscreen feature.I managed to search around the WEB and install the Wacom DRIVER for the pen and finally got it to work but now I still do not have the driver for the touchscreen.Does anyone have any idea what driver it could be?
Thanks in advanceProbably won't work without the XP Tablet PC Edition.

Hi,

I plan on upgrading my GTS 250 with a GTX 570.
My current driver is GeForce 280.26 Driver.

Based on the site documentation, the driver supports both the GTS 250 and GTX 570.
Does this mean that I could just swap the old GPU with the new one and not do anything else?
Or is it BETTER to remove the driver before removing the old and reapply it once the new one is installed?

I don't have the new GPU yet and been reading up as a precaution before doing anything.
# I noticed there are a lot of driver related problem so I'm a bit cautious.

Current system: Win7 64-bit ENProbably, but it you put the new card in and the driver doesn't work, then it will still work enough for you to uninstall and install the new one. Quote from: quaxo on September 27, 2011, 06:21:55 AM

Hi
I'm trying to play a war game on my computer and it just keeps freezing. I am told I need to update all my drivers so I am in the process of doing this.
The problem i'm having is when I click to download them it's a hit or a miss whether they install properly.
Sometimes there isn't a "setup" file to click on and other times it simply fails to install.

It looks like I should download about 9 or so separate programs on the acer site.

Is there a tutorial that can help me with this?  I'm not even sure if i need to actually buy a video card or graphics card and install it on my pc. I would have thought such a thing would have come with it when I bought it.

I'm OPERATING on windows xp professional 32.
the computer is acer powerboy fh
thanks anyoneSimply downloading it will not install it. Unless you're using

What do you mean it "simply fails to install"? How do you know? Is it giving you an error message of some sort?

What game are you referring to?

Have you checked your temperatures? Freezing during gameplay can also occur from the computer getting too hot.Thanks for replying.

I initially went to acer.com (computer's an acer) and went to the drivers download section.
I gave them the computer make and model (Desktop-AcerPower-FH-) with microsoft windows xp professional x32 os

A list of drivers appeared that I could download via a zip file

I downloaded and extracted them one at a time.
I double clicked on the "set up" file (where I could find one) and here's what happened.

chipset driver=downloaded and installed.
audio driver=downloaded and installed.
lan marver driver =downloaded  but didn't install as I couldn't find a "setup file"
lan pronets driver= downloaded and installed.
modem liteon driver =downloaded but not sure if it installed (can't remember)
tv tuner hauppauge driver =not installed. tried to but wouldn't. Sorry can't remember what it said.
tv tuner leadtek driver = downloaded but no "setup file" so not sure how to install.
vga ati driver =downloaded but would not install  (the error said "couldn't find video driver")
vga intel driver=could not install (error said "your computer doesn't have the minimum requirments).
vga nvidia driver=downloaded but could not install. (error said "couldn't locate relevant drivers")
WIRELESS lan driver =downloaded but don't know how to install as no set up file showing.


I am trying to play napoleon total war through my steam account.

The game freezes soon into playing.

I bought the pc a few years ago and I haven't installed any hardware on it.

I don't have alot of money to throw around so I'm looking for the cheapest/free-est route to play the game.

Meanwhile,
When I right clicked the desktop and then clicked on properties and then setting, this shows under the display heading..  "RadeonX1550 Series"
So I downloaded this updated driver from
http://www.pcpitstop.com/drivers/download/Radeon~X1550~Series.html
and installed it.

Thanks for any help







You need these:
chipset driver=downloaded and installed.
audio driver=downloaded and installed.
modem liteon driver =downloaded but not sure if it installed (can't remember)

For the remaining ones, you need to determine which them is in your computer:

It will have either of these, not both. If the pronets one installed and your LAN port is working correctly, that was probably the one.
lan marver driver =downloaded  but didn't install as I couldn't find a "setup file"
lan pronets driver= downloaded and installed.


Only ONE of these should have been installed, whichever one matches what's actually in the computer:
tv tuner hauppauge driver =not installed. tried to but wouldn't. Sorry can't remember what it said.
tv tuner leadtek driver = downloaded but no "setup file" so not sure how to install.

Only ONE of these should have been installed, whichever one matches what's actually in the computer:
vga ati driver =downloaded but would not install  (the error said "couldn't find video driver")
vga intel driver=could not install (error said "your computer doesn't have the minimum requirments).
vga nvidia driver=downloaded but could not install. (error said "couldn't locate relevant drivers")

wireless lan driver =downloaded but don't know how to install as no set up file showing.


You need to determine the exact configuration of that computer so we can determine which drivers you DO need and why they aren't installing.
Hi,
It's probably best to take it a step at a time.
below in capital letters is what I did. I tried to install the modem liteon driver again and the problem occurs as described below. firstly I open the "setup.exe" file, double click on "run" and it prompts me  whether or not I want to install the modem drivers. I then clicked on "yes". It then looks as though it is installing (through showing a section of boxes slowly being filled horizontally, but as it gets towards the end it just DISAPPEARS and nothing tells me it has installed.


You need these
chipset driver=downloaded and installed.
audio driver=downloaded and installed.
modem liteon driver =downloaded but not sure if it installed (can't remember)

STARTING INSTALLATIOIN.
DOUBLE CLICK ON "setup.exe" file
CLICK ON "run"
ALERT!
"DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL MODEM DRIVERS"?
I CLICKED "YES"
A BOX APPEARED TO SHOW INSTALLATION IN PROGRESS. THEN BOX DISSAPPEARED.
NO MESSAGE TO SAY PROGRAMME HAD INSTALLED!!!Well, if you're going to use the modem, then test it and see if it works. If not, it's not important.

What about the rest of it?In order to check i'm downloading the right drivers I took the following steps.

I went to control panel - performance and maint.  - admin tools - computer management -  device manager and worked down them all and clicked on "update drivers" under the "driver" heading.

most of them didn't need downloading. below is the result.

SO ALL OF THESE IN THE FIRST GROUP  DID NOT REQUIRE AN UPDATED DRIVER AS NOTED BELOW.

I still have the same problem. it takes an age for the game to start up (if at all) then freezes.
Do I need to buy a peice of hardware and stick it into the back of the computer. I'd rather not due to money issues. Is there something else I can do to get the game working?

Thanks

You updated the graphics drivers which was likely the only ones you were told to update.
Have you checked for overheating of the CPU and/or GPU?
You can monitor temps with any of the following:
HWInfo32
CPUID HWMonitor
Speccy

Post a screen shot.Ok I downloaded HWInfo32 and ran it.
A box has appeared  but not sure what to look for.
the "thermmon" for the cpu are saying they are "OK"

During all the downloading that I did, an icon has appeared in my tray. when i open it, it says "ati catalyst control centre " and has headings such as "display manager" , display options, 3d color etc etc.
I'm not sure if I need to do  something with it in order to get it working properly. I've not seen anything like it on my system before.

That's that, RIGHT, and it fixed whatever happened in the device MANAGER, but I'm still getting the same message when I attempt to play the game. Hm.go to CONTROL panel>add or REMOVE programs and see if you can repair your Sims 3 installation. The fact that the exclamation mark is gone means that your graphics card is working without a hitch.I'll try uninstalling then re-installing and see if that helps at all.The DELL Inspiron 1525 is a laptop computer... and you can't upgrade its graphics card.

My computer has 2 USB ports in the front, 2 blue USB ports on top and 4 USB ports in the back.

I want to cleanup all the previous mouses and keyboards devices I put in one of the USB ports, but I don't know how to do it. So many of them I don't know which one to do. I would hate to having to resort to reformatting my computer. Thanks in advance. QUOTE from: thehandyman on September 01, 2011, 11:45:12 PM

...I want to cleanup all the previous mouses and keyboards devices I put in one of the USB ports...

Re-boot...they will automatically be re-installed.

Just incase I find out in the future one of the drivers I installed were corrupt and I didn't know.

Dear CH,

I just got my computer, downloaded Steam and got the error message that my DRIVER isn't supported.
So i looked at the internet for the driver of my Intel® G43/G45.
I got error messages that is saying:

" The file that is getting installed isn't validated for this computer. Ask the producent of the computer to get the right operating system. The installation is shut down".

I downloaded DRIVERS, intel, hp, all the same errors.

I got windows 7 Proffesional. 32 Bit.
My computer is a HP Pro 3010 Microtower PC.

When i look for an update of drivers i get a schedual:

Product Detected    Intel® G43/G45

Current Driver Installed    8.15.10.1872

A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer.

I found additional CD's called operating system DVD: W7 Proffesional.

CD:

- Supplemental Software (office 2007 trail)
- HP restore plus! disk 1 of 3
- Operating System DVD (w7 proff) Disk 2 of 3
- LANGUAGE pack DVD for W7 Disk 3 of 3
- Operating System CD Microsoft W XP proffesional service pack 3

I hope you can solve my problem. If you need more info, please reply on my topic.

Emile Massau
Just to be certain. Is this the site from which you sought the drivers? How old is this computer? It is this statement that concerns me re your attempt to create functionality with "Steam" and your computer "A customized computer manufacturer driver is installed on your computer. The Intel Driver Update Utility is not able to update the driver. Installing a generic Intel driver instead of the customized computer manufacturer driver may cause technical issues. Contact your computer manufacturer for the latest driver for your computer."
Have you tried the SUGGESTION contained in that warning?truenorthYou can get the latest driver for that here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=nl&prodNameId=4047666&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=4047665&swLang=13&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4053#11360

But to be honest, that's designed as a "business" computer, and Intel CHIPSETS are just not made for gaming. Even if you do get it working, the results will likely be less than satisfactory (if you can get any Steam powered game to run at all, a lot don't support Intel 43/45 chipsets).

Hi

I have accidentally purged my supposedly unused program files but have also lost my audio driver.  I'm running XP; within sounds and audio everything is greyed out.  I've no idea what sound card I have; I've tried running DirectX diagnostics, but it said no sound card was found.  Any ideas, please?

i wish to know what router encryption is because i cant get my OLD imacg3 to connect to my n signal router and i was told by the ibookguy from youtube to change my encryption to WEP or none. can someone eplain this to me?These are wireless security settings for your router. They can be labeled as level of security since they are described on vulnerabilities and functions.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_security
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Accessso according to the article WEP encryption is just less security, so its not worth using airport on my old imac G3 because hackers will break into my network? is that correct?If you check your wireless card properties on security tab, what type of security encryption is available? The router has CERTAIN encryption features that you could match with the imacg3 airport card. If there is not any WEP/WPA type of feature under the wifi card, then you are left with having none or an open wifi connection. Additionally, you will have to configure other computers connecting regularly to be able to use the wifi connection. This means also that your neighbors could access your wireless connection freely and so privacy and security is a null.wireless properties tab in what? mac osx 10.2.8 or in the browser im using? You must configure you wifi card to be able to communicate with the router wireless security settings. Depending on the airport card firmware support. If WEP is the only available encryption for the adapter, you must set it as WEP and also access the router settings. To access those would LOOK like this, but for an XP system :


 You need to configure the properties of your wireless connection. Right Click the “Wireless Network Connection”, See picture above.
 Select “Properties”.After you open the properties of your wireless connection you should see a screen similar to the one below.

 
Check the box “Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings”.
Now look at the bottom of your wireless network connection’s properties, pictured below. If you see you wireless network list, just double left click-it. If you do not see your network, left click the “Add” Button.
Text Box: Double-click, or manual “Add” your wireless network.
 

By double-clicking your network or by clicking the “Add” button you will open the window pictured below.

Before you can enter your information, you must un-check “The key is provided for me automatically”
Enter your Wireless Settings you were provided. Lan-Sol labels your Wireless Router with the required “Settings”.

Your INVOICES also have your settings listed.

        “Network name (SSID):
        “Network Authentication:”

Most Wireless network setups use “Open”
Some network setup by Lan-Sol have “Shared” authentication.  Some home networks may use “Open” authentication.  “Data encryption:”
Typically you should enter “WEP”
Enter your “Network key:”, and “confirm network key:”This “Network key” may be labeled as “WEP KEY:” OR “SHARED KEY:” on your Wireless Router
Double check the “key index (advanced):” All most every wireless network use key index 1.
Double check all your settings, then click “Ok”
Enter the settings label on your Wireless Router.
You’re done configuring your security setting; Windows should pop-up a message informing you of your connection.

Here is the basic RUNDOWN, GOT a comp that errors with bsod and its always something to do with nvata.  the system is running win xp,  after reading up on this error I have alleviated an overheating issues to start, then it continued, (while replacing fans and adding extra fans I also replaced the cpu) so next i updated to the latest sata/ide drivers, and it continued, replace the memory, continued, finally replaced the harddrive.  upon replacing the harddrive when trying to reinstall xp it errors at loading windows screen with nvata error.  so out of curiosity i TRIED loading win 7 on it.  when it gets to expanding windows it errors out with the nvata error.  Im assuming at this point its gotta be the motherboard but before i TELL this GUY hes gotta replace that after replacing the other stuff i would like to see if anyone might offer some other solution.To me this very much sounds like the point of replacing the computer versus all these replacements of hardware may have been passed or soon will be. Do you really think it  is prudent to continue replacing things at this stage? truenorthFrom Our Archives...Wow all that replacement stuff due to a software issue. "  Im assuming at this point its gotta be the motherboard but before i tell this guy hes gotta replace that after replacing the other stuff" If this is a commercial transaction i see some money being returned.

Many thanks  Use the Driver CD that shipped with the machine to re-install all drivers,,,
Chipset drivers should gi 1st...

My audio keeps fading in and out. Sometimes it sounds like its coming from a cave.

The computer uses IE8 with Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3. 32-bit I believe.
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6600 2.40GHz 2.00GB of RAM'

My modem is from BrightHouseNetworks and says, Motorola 'Surfboard' SBG6580

I'm not sure if its related, but there is a yellow '?' for 'Other Devices' in Device Manager. If I click to expand, it shows a yellow '!' for 'PCI Device'.

The PCI Device Properties say, 'The drivers for this device are not installed." (code 28)

Under 'Sound, Video, and Game Controllers', none of the items in the pulldown menu have a red 'x' or a yellow (!)

PCI\VEN_11AB&DEV_6145&SUBSYS_58428086&REV_A1\4&2D8B019B&0&00E4
I looked up 11AB and 6145. They are related to Marvel. I went to to a few sites and couldn't find any downloads.

I've updated Windows.

I've adjusted the volume on the media player and website that hosts the video I'm watching.

I've downloaded VLC player to rule out if Windows Media Player is the problem.

I've tried reinstalling the 'Legacy' audio driver, but it keeps asking for a disk. The only disk I have is the original Windows XP Pro disk. I believe my computer is 32-bit, if that matters. The disk will begin to run, but it won't find the driver I need.


Re-install your Motherboard chipset drivers from the Driver CD that shipped with the machine...
That should correct it.I appreciate you taking the time to help me. Very cool.  Do I un-install the chipset currently on my computer, or is it not there to begin with?No need to...
They will automatically re-install over the top.I have corrected the yellow '!' under 'PCI Device' in the Device Manger, by reinstalling the Marvell
6145 PCI Device Drive (Marvell_61xx_1.2.8000). The yellow '!' is no longer there, and no red
'x' or yellow '!' show up in the Device Manager. Even the hidden devices are clean.
My audio however, STILL fades in and out. I have listed all of my specs below, unaware of which ones
are important for correcting the problem, so I've listed everything. I went to the Intel
Driver Download page and searched 'd975xbx2'. There are a number of choices to download, which
I've listed below, along with the Intel Driver download website.

http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&keyword=%22d975xbx2%22

To correct my audio, could someone please tell me which exact driver/s, I need to download, or update.
I have listed the choices below. And so you know, I could have made a mistake on the search page as to which avenue to begin searching.
 
My Specs:
Custom Built
d975xbx2  INTEL             
Windows XP Pro (5.1, Build 2600)
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU  6600 2.40GHz (2CPUs)
2046MB RAM
IDT AUDIO1  Device ID: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01VEN_8384DEV_7621SUBSYS_8

Under Hardware I have listed: IDT HighDefinition Audio CODEC  Location 65535  (Working Properly)

                                           Media Control Devices    (Working Properly)

My MIDI music playback Default drive shows "Microsoft GS Wavetable SW Synth

In the control panel, there is an icon labeled 'IDT Audio Control Panel'. It will not open.
Not sure if this matters.

I have set all the volume controls back to default.

I have plugged in a number of different computer speakers and headsets all having the same results of fading in and out.
Sometimes it sounds like an echo.

Hi there!
I;m new here...can anybody help me fix my PC?
Please help me...I've reformat my PC three times already,,,but still i can't get connection with the internet...
I use WINDOWS XP as the OS and installed HP motherboard for this one but it's still not working as well as the speakers...
could anybody try to help me please?Here's a screenshot of the device manager...



[REGAINING space - attachment deleted by admin]and by the way, how will i know my IP address?Is win XP the original system installed? Have you tried looking for the particular drivers on HP support site? Click this link and look for network and AUDIO drivers.

then click on the icon says update driver then update it from the Internet...then follow simple instructions given
and in ip address go to Run type cmd then in the black window type Nslookup ...theres your Ip addresnslookup only shows your DNS Servers.... you should try www.ip-adress.com to VIEW your external IP address.thank you for your reply GUYS... jason2074: yup, i've already tried that site but it didn't work since, i think, i need to make sure of the model of my ethernet hardware first...
i don't have any idea how to know the exact ethernet driver to install...
musamanyama and Transfusion: i'll PROBABLY do your suggestions once i figure out the right driver for my ethernet...but your suggestions probably gave me another knowledge to find out IP address...thanks so much guys!Use Speccy to identify your LAN card http://www.piriform.com/speccy/download/standard

I've been having a number of AUDIO PROBLEMS lately - skipping, getting stuck on a sound for half a second, etc.  I did some google work on the problem, downloaded LatencyMon, and found that the culprits are high DPC times for ndis.sys and a LARGE number of hard page faults for svchost.exe.  I haven't installed any new hardware lately, so I'm not sure what COULD be CAUSING this problem, which only surfaced in the last month in a computer that's been working great since I put it together in December.  Also, I'm a bit out of my depth when it comes to things like DPC times and hard page faults, so I've kind of run into a brick wall in the google solutions department.  Any help would be much appreciated.Did you make any changes to the computer right before this started?

Have you updated your network adapter driver?

Have you run the system file checker?

how do i ad it to the router?Unplug printer from router & PLUG directly into laptop.  Then reconnect like it is now.to do that i will need to do the network install which it isnt LETTING me, i have tried installing VIA USB but dont know how to make it for network.The only thing I can think of is your router is BLOCKING it.  Disconnect all other computers from the router, including any wireless, reboot router & try again.the router wouldnt block the instller from opening Quote from: patio on August 12, 2011, 09:34:25 PM

Your right. Pretty cheap right now. Got a quad core, 6gig, 1T hd HP desktop at Best Buy on sale for $425 and added a sweet 25" LED monitor for another $200.

So the old girl is sitting on the bench in the basement. I still can't BELIEVE that couldn't be fixed. There was nothing wrong with that computer, and I still can see no damage to any of the usb ports. The 4 in the back only had the printer plugged into one, and were NEVER used by n e 1. How would an old timer like me go about replacing this motherboard thing you speak of, if your up to helping me try and fix this thing still CC...

Somehow I had lost my DVD/CD-ROM driver.  This is in a Dell Inspiron E1707 with XP.  The device is _NEC DVD+-RW ND-6650A.  I downloaded the recommended driver from the Dell support website to C:\dell\drivers but the wizard says that the SPECIFIED location does not contain any device information files.  The downloaded file is a firmware flash UTILITY named NECND6650 v103D.  Is there some other place I should place these files?Optical drives don't need any extra drivers.

Hello,
So RECENTLY I have reformatted my Dell XPS 8100.
Unfortunately now it cannot detect my network adapter (No INTERNET connection).
I've been looking for an driver for my network adapter but I cannot figure out what my adapter simply is.
I USED AIDA and Everest, however they marked my motherboard, chip SET, BIOS and network adapter as N/A. Furthermore, there is an exclamation point next to my ethernet controller and simple communications controller.
I'm kinda clueless so any response will be helpful!
Keep in mind that my reformatted computer does not have an Internet connection.
Thanks!

I am trying to install this printer with a parallel cable on a 32-bit windows 7 Enterprise PC. Windows Update has a driver but when it tries to get installed i get an error saying "Printer Driver was not installed, operation could not be completed, error 0x80240022". Can someone help please?Is this your computer?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(computer)
truenorthlink didnt work, i got the printer working, it was connected via a parellel cable, used a usb a-b instead and the windows update driver and it worked!!! thanks for you response anywayDon't know why that link does not now work (doesn't work for me now either). It did when i posted it. In case you do not have the manual for your printer by way of compensation i am including a link to it for possible future use.

I am once again trying a link to what may be your computer.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_(computer)
This is exactly the same one i posted in my original post. Which for some reason does NOT work via the CH post but does work if the FOLLOWING google search is performed "enterprise computer" ?
It is the 1st reply in over 61,000,000 responses.
truenorthBoth linx work here...Very weird. Trying to access the actual reference (picture etc) of the enterprise computer (my search parameter) from the thread (both refferences) does not work whereas using the route of the google search it always does. When i go via the CH post it does bring me to a wikipedia web site basically asking me if "did i mean-etc" but certainly NOT the site Google found. truenorthLinks are not the same:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_%28computer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_%28computer%29
%29 is ")"CC, I know that you are trying to tell me something but unfortunately i don't know what it is. My 2 links in this thread (to me as i look at them) are absolutely identical. Also in BOTH instances when i accessed the page via a google search they are the same. All i did to present them in the post was : while the page was open i highlighted the URL and clicked on "ctrl/c" then inserted the link into the thread via "ctrl/v" . A process i do often. However even immediately prior to creating this post (answer to you) i clicked on BOTH my CH links and do get to a Wikipedia page but not the one i created as described above. All was done in Opera by the way. truenorthYou didn't hightlight the closing parenthesis when you did the CNTL-C.Right, once in AWHILE the CH auto-link does not work. You have to use the link TOOL yand ou enclose it in the [ url] and [ /url] things.When i highlighted the URL link it was on the actual open page of the desired sight . Therefore as is the case on any URL in the address window there are NO parenthesis enclosing it. At least on any web search i have ever done. As further examples you will note the following link
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DocumentIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&contentType=SupportManual&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=25521
which is from my earlier post above. Which is the link to the O/Ps printer manual. It was created exactly the same way and it works fine(at least for me it does) whereas  the 2 for the Wikipedia (which are identical) do not. truenorth
P.S. Thank you though for PERSISTING with your observations and unless there is something i am missing it still remains a mystery why in all past instances and with this one exception it has always produced a correct usable link.Test links after you post.  Computers are only human.

Hello,

I've got an .avi file that's quite problematic. Whenever I open the location that the .avi file is in (Which is directly in (D:)), my entire system freezes. Because of the freeze I am unable to delete the file.

I am using a laptop, OS Windows Vista Home Basic.

Any suggestions?So as i understand it . Even if you just go to the drive "D" and select the folder (without even endeavoring to access the particular .avi file) the computer freezes.Correct?truenorthAnd since it's a laptop please explain what D: is....a 2nd partition ? ? an external HDD ? ?I'm sorry for not explaining adequately. :s I'm not so computer savvy.

The file is not in a folder in drive D. It is directly in drive D itself, if that makes any sense. So, when you enter drive D, you will see the file.

This might sound really stupid but I got my computer in Taiwan - everything's in Mandarin. And I'm a Taiwanese that can't read Mandarin. So I'll try my best to specify. As far as I know there is no second partition (to be honest, I don't know what that means so I really doubt I'll have it), and it's not an external harddrive. My computer is an Acer. If it helps, it's the Aspire 2920Z type, with a 12 inch screen. Quote

The file is not in a folder in drive D. It is directly in drive D itself,

Load drive D with the file directly in the window

I bought a wireless adapter for a PC I built a while back and it has worked fine up until last week or so.
I can no longer access the interent through this card or if I attach an Ethernet cable to the back.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the driver to this card I bought as I have lost the disc or if anyone knows what could be the issue. There are wireless networks in the house and the ethernet is connected to a working port.

Here is the ebay LINK to the card I have. Sorry it was all I could find.

About a week ago I accidentally formatted everything on my comp/partition to downgrade my Vista to XP. Amongst the problem now all my drivers are all from Microsoft or just standard drivers so that means I missing some drivers so I don't have access to internet . I can't seem to find any Network adapter or ETHERNET controller for my system anywhere and I'm desperate for it. Any advice or link for a network Adapter/Ethernet controller would be helpful thanks .
ALSO info about my system should be in a attachment or linked: http://shorttext.com/jky17m0u5r since it takes up lots of space for this post.

I have a xp 64 I have tried belkin and linksys cisco and can't find anyone who offers a wireless adapter that has driver for xp64 anyone? please help Have you tried TP-Link? The TP-Link WN322G supports 64-bit operating systems. (on a SIDE note, i recall installing 32 bit drivers on a 64 bit system correct me if I'm WRONG...)
http://www.tp-link.com/products/productDetails.asp?pmodel=TL-WN322G
have this adapter right in hand...As an alternative, do not use a device that requires drivers. Your 64 bit OS has drivers in place for then ETHERNET card in your system. So use a Ethernet AP device.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

But AP devices  are often priced out of range fr many of US. So we RESORT to forcing a economical Wireless router into behaving like a AP device.

hello people
ive purchased the SONY VPCSB1V9R. it is a really great device and, to make it even greater ive CHANGED the hdd to SDD and therefore must reinstall windows.
it comes ok, but the official sony bluetooth driver exe does not makes the job: "generic bluetooth driver" and  is shown in the device manager after installation, which is not finished. result is that device manager has three unknown devices "unknown bluetooth device" or smth
it does not connect to the mouse or phone.
official broadcom software does not find any bt adapter turned on
system is win7pro x64
all i can do with other version of the same driver as found on the off site, is to run it's exe file. after all over it says: all ok, please PRESS finish. still no result. ive tried with three different drivers...

COULD you save my soul in any way possible?I am doing some research on your laptop re the blue-tooth compatibility and have found 2 sites that contradict each other on that score. One says definitely and the other says not available. What does your manual say on that score?

LAPTOP drivers should always be obtained from the laptop manufacturer's website. This is where you need to go for drivers:
http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers

Speccy shows that your video driver is already installed. Is that not right? Do you have errors in device manager?Yes I have a driver installed but unfortunately it is a very outdated version what I want is the nvidia geforce VERDE driver 275.33 from www.nvidia.com website. That is the latest version driver which is available for the nvidia geforce 310M card and which is also what I'm LOOKING for.The only thing that is out dated would be if there is a fix for certain glitches you are encountering from the previous version. You don't need a newer driver version for as long as your current driver works according to its expected result. IF your laptop came with CD drivers, just used the CD installers. And if you are going for the online SUPPORT to get the correct drivers, just look for the previous driver version that worked before. Only you need to obtain the latest version if a specific problem is listed and will resolve your issue.I had the same problem with my current GeForce 210-I SOLVED the problem by installing the 197.13 Drivers, and have been using them ever since-the 275.33 drivers just caused my screen resolution to go all fuzzy and put me into 4-bit color mode. That's right, 4-bit.
On a second note, how is your graphics card branded? For example, MSI sells an "MSI GeForce 210" that is based on nVidia's technology and is therefore reliant on nVidia drivers, or at least nVidia-based Drivers. As with all laptops the drivers should only come from the laptop manuf. site...

This was already mentioned above...

When I start my Dell computer (Dimension E510), I GET a message that WINDOWS XP is shutting down because of a problem file, AT12Dvag, which is causing the device driver to "get stuck in an infinite loop." I am allowed to operate in safe mode, but not NORMAL mode. Restarting the computer doesn't help. Any thoughts? Thanks.

PligwiglBoot to safe mode, uninstall the ATI driver, reboot. Then download and install the latest driver for your video CARD (obtain the driver from the ATI website, not from Windows Update).Drivers & Downloads for Dimension 5150/E510Oops - thanks CC.
pligwigl - please disregard my suggestion to get the driver from ATI. Laptop drivers should always be obtained from the website of the laptop manufacturer. I missed that we were dealing with a laptop. Please follow the link in the post above this one.Alan, I have a PC not a laptop. Should I therefore follow the advice on your first post. Thanks.

PligwiglOkay, back to the original thought. Yes, get the latest driver from the ATI website. Also, please do not start new threads for this topic. Just post here - I'll see it. I merged your post into this thread.Thanks. I didn't at first see how to reply without a new post, but I do now.Thanks for the link, Computer_Commando.Alan, my computer has 8 ati2dvag files. Seven have the suffix dll and are listed as Application Extensions. The one exception has no suffix, video\addon\B_25699. It is 131 KB and is listed as DL_Files. Is this the file I need to uninstall?

PligwiglYou delete by going to ADD / REMOVE programs in XP or Programs & Features in Vista or W7. DO NOT delete the files "manually"

Computer worked fine before I packed it away. All I did was pull some photos and data files off on a zip drive.  Also tried safe mode and got the same results.
Please help!  Thank You!Set the BIOS to boot CD before HARD Disk. Boot the XP CD and, instead of Setup, take the immediate R for Repair.See here-> HTTP://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477 You will need your XP CD disc to perform the task under Recovery console.

My netbook crashed and I was told all I needed to do was download the driver and put it on the bios. Is that true? How do I do it? Please helpNo, it's not true.  You can't (even if you WANTED to) because DRIVERS don't "go on the BIOS".
Start from the beginning & explain exactly what happened.HDD's do NOT need drivers...something else is wrong...or it could be the drive itself...Well I have no CLUE how but I made the hhd reapear. Now it just SAYS something bout missing or corrupt FILES.

I just recently purchase a HP PAVILION P6750z computer with Win7 OS. I'm trying to install a wireless D-Link DWA-556 PCIe adapter card. The card installs very easily into a PCIe slot. However when I boot the computer after installing the card, I get the windows blue screen. If I remove the D-Link card and reboot, everything is working just fine. I believe I am having a driver problem (not SURE) because I did find on the D-Link support site something about using an Atheros driver. My question is, if I can find the correct Atheros driver, how do I install the driver and get it to work with the D-Link adapter when I can't get a clean boot with the adapter card installed? Any help will be appreciated. ThanksTry installing the driver first.If you do not have the installation software for your device look here:  DWA-556 Xtreme N PCI Express Desktop Adapter

Once you arrive at that page...click the Support Resources link and then DRIVERS to locate the driver you need based on your operating system.

This page also includes the manual for your device, as well.To install the driver before the card, where in the windows OS do I install the driver file so the boot will find the driver file? ThanksThe driver installer should be an .exe file, isn't it?See attachment

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]To be more SPECIFIC...I'm assuming you're in the USA?

Download the Version 1.40 driver to a location easily accessible on your PC...Downloads, Desktop, etc.

Extract the file to its default location.

Navigate to the Setup folder and double-click the Setup.exe file to execute it and install the software/driver(s) for your hardware.The driver file is an .exe file. Running the D-Link driver .exe file before installing the wireless card SEEMS to have worked fine. I still wonder why the instructions with the card and on the D-Link site still only have you installing the card first and then the driver from the CD. It would be nice if they had something on their site to recommend installing the driver first if there is a problem.Can't answer that question for you but, it's always a good idea to install the driver, first, before adding any new hardware.

Glad you have it working...

Ok, so my graphics tablet one day just lost all pressure sensitivity and has pretty much become a glorified mouse. It's fairly new, so I don't think it's worn out. I replaced the battery in the pen and reinstalled the drivers, but it just doesn't work. The only changes to the system I can think of that were made when the problems started was that I updated Java. Could that be the problem? And if so, how do I get back to the PREVIOUS version of Java? I checked the manufacturer's site for driver updates, but I can't find any.

My tablet is a Monoprice TWA60. My Notebook is a HP G-71 running WINDOWS 7 64-bit.

This is what I get for buying cheap hardware. I swear from now on I'm only getting Wacom. But until I can afford a new one, I would really like this one to work. 

Any help would be greatly APPRECIATED!Ok! I figured out the problem and it had nothing to do with Java. (I'm an illustrator, not a computer programmer!) I'm posting this in case anyone else has this problem and needs help. The problem was Windows Automatic Updater kept overriding the manufacturer's drivers. What i had to do to get it back was completely uninstall the device, turn off automatic updates, and disconnect from the internet. Then reinstall using the manufacturer's disk. Now it WORKS just fine.

hello,i recently updated my DRIVER afterwards my pc is laggy especially in the browsers,When i tryd too re Dl the driver,it gives me an error MESSAGE,      Error Opening File For Writing    ,  My Graphics Card is a ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics  , windows 7 OP SYSTEM ,,,Any suggestions would be appreciatedfound this message also i think this is the culprit-------------   Windows cannot load the device driver for this HARDWARE because a previous instance of the device driver is still in memory. (Code 38)Are you downloading rom the ATI website? If not, make sure that's where you get it from. Then uninstall the old driver, reboot, and install the new one.thank you,problem solved,when i Downloaded the driver, it switched my graphics card too one that didnt WORK on my pc,,,,too solve the issue i just uninstalled and Redownloaded the driver for the other graphics card,i never realized they switched til i took another look,,,,hope this can help someone else in the future........

I am not sure if this is the right section but...
Is there a way to turn off or sign off my joystick when I am DONE playing with it, without disconecting it from the computer? Because it has a bright blue light that is great when playing but bugs me when I am not playing. And it has some problems with connecting when the computer so it will be nice not having to disconect it. Any program maybe that can do that? Quote

so it will be nice not having to disconect it.

There's not really any way to do what you're looking for other than unplugging it. Games can't turn on/off the joystick itself, just decide whether or not it will accept commands coming from it. There's no easy way to do this in Windows either. Is this a USB joystick or the old kind that connects to a joystick port?

Hello everyone,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 which is unable to connect to wireless networks. I installed the wireless driver (using driver CD) but it didn't work. I also downloaded its driver for windows XP from Dell website but it didn't work too. It is unable to find any wireless network. could you please help me how to fix it. My operating system is windows XP.

ThanksDid you turned on the wireless switch for the laptop to START detecting wireless network? Look on the right-side panel beside the USB port connectors.Hi Jason. Thanks for the answer.
Yes the wireless switch is on. It shouldn't be that simple. Quote

I have a system that I upgraded from Windows XP Pro SP3 to Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, and the audio driver from Biostar for the MCP6PB M2+ as well as the driver from Realtek both work perfect for SOUND, but show that there is "No Audio Devices Are Installed" under the Recording Tab, under Sound, in Control Panel.

My system has 2 hard drives in it that I can swap between Win XP and Win 7 by shutting it down and moving Power and SATA connection between drives. I know that this is a driver issue and not a hardware issue because everything runs fine on XP, but under Win 7 there is No Recording Device Detected and states "No Audio Devices Are Installed" under the Recording Tab, under sound, in control panel.

Anyone know of a solution for this other than to use Windows XP Pro drive for when I need to use the Microphone + Speakers, since Win 7 are Speakers without Mic?

Below are screen shots from control panel showing that there is Sound Audio set up, but No Recording  =(

[recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]Is this it?
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en-us/mb/content.php?S_ID=387

Drivers and manual are there.Yah, thats where I got the Biostar supplied driver

Operating System: Windows  Vista x86/ Vista x64/ Win7 x86/ Win7 x64  6.0.1.6299 2009-11-02 [62.91 MB]

And at Realtek they have a driver that is like 84MB or something around that size that is newer that gives the same result of No Recording Device, when the Biostar supplied older driver is upgraded to newest from Realtek

Originally I TRIED the Drivers Disc that came with the motherboard, since it has a control panel of its own for detection of devices. Under Windows XP, you plug in a device and it pops up a window asking if its a headset or speakers and if speakers options for 2.0, 2.1, 5.1 etc. This feature is missing in Windows 7 for all 3 sources of these drivers. I think it also supported re-mapping of ports in XP where you can reach behind in the dark and plug into wrong port and it asks if its a Mic, Headset, or Speaker Pair...in which you could use a MIC port as an audio port and an Audio Port as a MIC port. But I might be getting confused with my older system which was a Fatal1ty gaming motherboard that was great in its time, but the socket 775 only supporting up to Pentium D 3.2Ghz wasnt enough power for my needs, and I know for sure that this board had an audio riser card that had every audio option you could ever need including optical audio. (Wife was glad to see that red glowing rig retired for a non-LED bling unit )

Worst comes worst, I could install a different sound card into the one PCI slot, but I'd rather try to get this running without band-aiding it with other than integrated sound. Right now I have a second NIC in the PCI slot that I use more than the need for a Mic. Also seen USB Audio Card-Like devices now that act as a portble sound card powered and operating off of USB port.

Here is what I could do to band-aid this I suppose if all else fails instead of having to give up my single PCI slot to install a different sound card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128004&cm_re=usb_sound-_-29-128-004-_-ProductNORMALLY one uses the drives given by the motherboard maker rather then the chip maker. The motherboard maker may make some subtle changes that are not covered by the generic drive from the chip maker. This is by design.

BTW, it is easier to swap boot drives by just going into the BIOS and selecting which hard drive you want active. Quicker and you can do it with power on. But opening the case a pulling cables on and off will damage a drive sooner or later.

I think there is some way you can use XP drivers in Windows 7. Not sure. Looking around I did not FIND a clear answer to this issue. I guess you already tried the XP drivers in Windows 7.

Wish Hardware driver makers Knew this!!!!! Windows 64-bit offers a feature called Kernel Patch Protection, which protects the Windows kernel from unauthorized changes. Maybe the hardware companies would make better drivers that don't Damage the Cabs in windows 64 bit systems.

My Aunt just got cable internet service INSTALLED a few days ago, however when it was installed her husband was home and did not know the password to her computer.  So the Tech could not check everything. She did not use her internet at all and has gone on vacation. I am house sitting for her and I brought my computer over. I hooked the net into my comp and ran a speedtest.net test. I was getting 750Kbs down. and 50Kbs up. It was okay enough to do some things, but when i attempted to stream a video or download anything I would get a MAX of 91Kbs down. I wasn't sure what was causing the problem so I tried all the normal things, replugging stuff in, restarting, I power cycled the modem a few times. All to no AVAIL. I went home and brought my modem over, with that hooked up I am getting 27Mbps down and .9Mbps up.   

Having figured out it was the modem, I looked up information on firmware and drivers for it.
She has a WebStar DPC2100
there are SOFTWARE updates for the modem (which I hope will fix the problem) however, Some are only for hardware revision 2.0.
I can not find any information on how to tell which if it is hardware 1.0 or 2.0.Call the cable modem supplier and ask them. truenorthUsually, there is something on the label on the bottom of the modem.the label has the S/N, MAC, model number, date of mfg. but doesn't say the hardware versionalso, when attempting to access the modem menu I get this:

The image “http://192.168.100.1/” cannot be displayed because it contains errors.That is the IP address and again i suggest that you call the cable company which i presume supplied the modem. truenorthI know what it is, Why can't I access the modem menu? I was told That has the information I need.the cable company won't do anything because I don't know all the ACCOUNT information (My aunt is out of town can't reach her)According to what I can find online, if it says DPC2100 on that label, it's version 1. If it says DPC2100r2, it's version 2. Okay, thank you. I never saw that online. I'll give it a try

Tried it. Works now. TY quaxo.

Hello,

In my device manager I have an unwanted exclamation point in a yellow circle in
display adapters-video controllers (vga compatible).
I just reinstalled xp on a gateway 5310s.  I'm almost positive this is my motherboard (everything there looks exactly like my MB).

http://www.ascendtech.us/itemdesc.asp?ic=MB4GWAUGSBURG

there are supposed drivers available for download here:

http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/search.asp?st=pn&param=1008368

Instead of botching up my computer over an annoying exclamation point, I THOUGHT it would be wise to get help from experts.  the computer is working fine right now.  there is no indication that there is a problem (other than the exclamation point).

I have belarc advisor and everest installed, but I thought i'd WAIT until you asked for info, so as not to overload the thread with unneeded clutter.  I will be keeping a close eye on this thread.

I really appreciate the help as always.


You're not required to install ANYTHING, but I assume you can only view VGA mode (640x480, 16colors).
Your model is here:
IntelVideo4308.exe
Intel(r) Express Chipset Family Video Driver Version: 6.14.10.4308

Computer_Commando,

I installed the driver, rebooted, and was greeted by a desktop that was 1280x1024.  Everything was so TINY, yet so clear.  You were right on the money again.

Thank you again kind sir
take care, and we'll see you again!I was wondering about this as well. I have the same thing going on, a bunch of yellow exclamations under display adapters in the device manager. Since it seemed to work out good for you, I think I will track down the drivers and see what happens. Thanks.
