   any other info i can provide? I have lost my sound and my graphics have turned horrible ever since i re installed windows. I think it is because i have deleted my sound & graphic card drivers. May i know how i could fix this? Btw, my computer only allows me to put my colour on '2colours' or '16colours' and my current 640X480 resolution P.S. If you need any more info , just post here or pm me |

This happened after you reinstalled windows?
Have you downloaded the latest drivers for each of these devices and installed them? -------------------- Lawrence

How did you do the re-install? Was it with the full version of Windows or a restore CD that came with the computer?

I would like to see what your computer has.
Please d/l Everest Home v1.51 from here. When you are finished, click the green icon and select report ->report wizard -> select system summary only -> and next. When the report comes on the screen, select save to file. Open the file, and copy all of it up to debug PCI. Paste it as a reply, if you have any information like (100.000.0.000), please change it to xxx.xxx.xx.xxx With the information that you provide, I will be able to help you find the proper drivers. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat.

Have you opened up your computer before? If you have, you may want to check for loose connections to see if everything is in tight. In your situation, I would re-seat all of the connections: hard drive, RAM, and even the CD/DVD drives.
If possible, can you provide the mobo name? Even the exact brand name and model number would help, such as E-machine T-2460. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.

mobo is short for motherboard.
You can find the brand name and model number of the computer by what is on front of the case. If you bought it at a store such as Best Buy or Radio Shack, then common names may be Compac, E-Machine, Dell, HP, but there are others. If your computer was bought from an individual, then it could be "home-built" and there would not be a model name on it. You may need to call them and ask them about the motherboard. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
