Specs: Windows 8 Pro, Phenom II x4 3.6 Ghz, 4 GB DDR2, AMD Radeon HD 7850, (Creative Sound Blaster Live!) I Manually installed the driver for my PCI sound card and rebooted. When I display the hidden devices in device manager you can see that the driver is installed but not attached to the device. Is there any way to manually apply this driver to the sound card. I am quite certain it is the proper driver but, Windows fails to recognize this. Thanks in advance for help. -Cube Code

Hey guys. I have recently changed from Windows 7 64bit to Windows xp 32bit and i have had problem with Audio Drivers. I have tried to used Realtek AC'97 Driver (Windows 98/Me/2000/XP2003) and i have had no success it keeps coming up with no Sound Driver installed even tho i have installed this Driver so i tried to look through the Sound Drivers and i found that it said that the driver needed to update and so i tried to up date it and no luck nothing happens so then i tried re-installing the driver multiple times and yet no luck. So is there anyone with a solution to this like a Driver or a tutorial please i really need help... My regards Johnyboy

tl;dr Device Manager stopped displaying video card when I intentionally uninstalled driver and software. Now cannot re-install driver/software because computer/NVIDIA cannot detect card. Lenovo W520, i7-2720 QM @2.20GHz OS: Windows 7, 64bit VC: NVidia Quadro 1000M RAM: 8Gb I have searched the internet high and low for an answer but cannot seem to find one: I *think* I need to force-install video card drivers, but i'm calling on the experts here to help me decide if that's what I need, or something else. BACKSTORY: None of this would have happened if I wasn't such a geek and read all the release notes during Lenovo updates: Chronology of events: download update. read release notes for NVidia video driver that say "if driver version before [some_version_number], uninstall before installing this update" or something like that. (I interpreted this to mean completely uninstall the driver. How I thought it would go down: uninstall, get yellow "!" in device manager, continue with update, tada!...if only.) PROBLEM: This is what happened instead: Uninstalled driver. Then windows tried to fix it for me and re-installed the driver... hmmm, ok, let me uninstall and check the "also delete files" box. damn it's gone from the device manager, i hope it comes back when I install the update....and nope... The Display Device for my NVidia card is completely gone from the device manger. Not hidden, actually gone. Then lots of internet searching over course of a week and here's what I've come up with so far: 1) Turns out, NVidia won't install their driver unless it can detect the card on your system. It must query the Device Manager to determine this, becauase it instantly returns a "The graphics driver cannot find compatible graphics hardware" message. (see attachment.) 2) I was able to find the old driver in C:\DRIVERS\WIN\VIDEO but same problem as (1). 2b) Also ran the bash script I found there which was supposed to set up the drivers, no luck. 3) Everything I can find on the internet regarding driver problems appears to assume a normal device manager: the common answer seems to be "go download latest drivers from NVidia and install", which doesn't work. 4) Found some similar "cant get card to work" forum posts, but non with the same genesis. Any help/tips/leads would be greatly appreciated!

I have recently noticed an issue on my machine that has caused USB devices to not be displayed in "Computer" or accessible from anywhere else while using normal mode. During diagnosis of the problem, I booted up in safe mode and noticed that all USB was working fine so came to the conclusion that there must be a software issue when in normal mode. I have also reloaded the USB hubs and updated my drivers but this still has not fixed my issue. I would be grateful if anyone could offer a solution or advise me of a way that I can see if an application is locking/using my USB ports.

So, I just upgraded from Home Premium to Ultimate and now my wireless adapter won't work. Apparently, windows doesn't know what kind of adapter I have and can't find the driver for it... It is a Broadcom BCM943225HM. I have looked and looked for the driver, but can't find it anywhere for windows 7 ultimate...

I was install Ubuntu to my PC. Unfortunately it is completely wipe my Windows 7. So when I want to format back to change back to Windows 7, there was a part that driver cannot be loaded... If there any solution to this situation?

My computer cannot connect to the internet. In network sharing center, it shows that the cable is plugged in, but it identifies my home netwok as an unidentified network or public network and doesnt connect. i have tried all the ip config commands in cmd, i have restarted my router and modem, i have pllugged it in straight to the modem, restarted my computer a couple of times, and got nothiing. But I read on a post somewhere to look in my device manager to look for and warnings. There was none on my NIC card, and the driver was up-to-date. But right below it, it had a warning next to VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller so i figure that the driver is out of date. Long story short, is the driver out of date? and if it is, how do i get it on my computer. because i cant download it (doesnt connect to internet) Note: this has happened to me 2 time before. I took it in and the idiot there said it was heat (it wasnt) and a week ago. so i got a new NIC because thats what the idiot guy did and it worked for a while. Note 2: The NIC card a 1 week old TRENDnet TEG-PCITXR 10/ 100/ 1000Mbps PCI Gigabit Network Adapter drivers are updated.

Just about 4 og 5 weeks ago I have been getting a error message, like I write in the title of this topic. My PC is an HP EliteBook 8730w with Windows Vista Business 32 bit. The screen card is ATI Mobility FireGL V5725. The driver is updated with the last known update (YY-MM-DD = 2009-03-06) and driver version 8.543.1.7000. I have been looking to several topics in the internet about this issue. Some people say that we must uninstall the windows fix KB952287, but others come with other sugestions. Why am I getting this error I never had before and what is best solution? Thank you Fernando The attach file have the error message in danish
