I'm trying to play World of Warcraft on an old laptop I have. I've been told to update my video drivers but I've been searching for some hours but can't find them anywhere.The laptop is an IBM ThinkPad T42 running Windows 7 32bit. If any more information is needed, please reply to the thread and I'll answer asap.
I recently downloaded windows 7 on my dell dimension e310 (dv051 as it says on the resource cd) and now i need to find a video driver that is compatible with my computer and operating system, but i cant seem to find one . I tried using dell support center, but that cant provide a video driver either.
My system info:
Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz with 1 core and 2 threads Hard Drive- Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 ATA Device Optical Drive- Optiarc DVD + -RW ND -3570A Windows 7 Ultimate x32 SP1
find a driver for my video controller? I've just upgraded to windows 7 from xp, and HP doesnt seem to make drivers for my old laptop anymore, though windows 7 is running pretty smoothly! I've been able to find all of the missing drivers, like the one for my soundcard, and install them either in vista or xp compatibility mode, but I can't seem to find this last one. I read in another thread that the hardware IDs might be helpful. Well, here are the hardware ids listed for my video controller (I'm still not even sure what the video controller does):
I cannot find my device model number at all. It is a graphics chip and I have searched and searched but found nothing. It is an old Packard bell Imedia computer and cannot find the model number. (I searched the serial number, found nothing)AMD ATHLON XP 3000+ (2.16ghz)80GB ATA HDDDVD RW Drive *NEC*300w (or more?) psu512mb RAM (SDRAM?)
I wanna to convert some of my videos on pc for my Nokia cellphone(can't afford to buy iPhone).
I've searched on google and download a few softwares. But they are all trial version with waternarks on the output mp4 videos. So I'm here and ask you,is there a free video converter without watermarks output?
i just bought a new Asus laptop a few months ago everything seemed well until it started crashing saying that it faield to initialize video drive.i tried a couple of methods using gparted testdsk chkdsk,it wont boot into safe mode but i managed to boot from cd.
I tried all tools from system recovery like startup repair system restore and none seem to work also i get a message in the system recovery box Operating system:Unknown on(Unknown)Local Disk
my laptop is an asus k53s model with a 750hdd ntfs format i used gparted to make new partitions out of the 750hdd.
Nothing seems to work and id rather not make a clean install because i have very important files on it that i cant afford to lose.
Also when i boot into gparted i can see all partitions,but yellow triangle with a ! is shown near my C partition where i have windows installed.I have no idea what to do to make it see my C:
I have a toshiba satelite c655 s5212 64 bit system. It came with a factory 64 bit OS, but i reinstalled windows 7 with the 32 bit Operating system and now i cant find the LAN driver, WLAN driver,
I just started building a new computer and Im having an issue intalling Windows 7 Enterprise. I've got the Asus Crossfire V Formula motherboard, FX 8150, GTX 570, 16 GB Kingston HyperX memory, and Corsair 80 GB SSD. When I first try to install Windows, im getting an error that says "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have the driver floppy disk, CD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." I have tried clearing the CMOS, checking the BIOS for AHCI configuration, and tried loading the latest ITE ATA driver on a disk to force it.
well i searched past threads but couldnt find what i was looking for. i have already downloaded the audio driver for my dell d600 but i have been unable to find the video driver. not sure if it is relevant but the laptop will play downloaded videos.
I bought a 2nd hand PC as my old one was fading fast. It is a Compaq dc7100 SFF.Not ideal but only one within my budget. Originally XP it was upgraded to Windows 7 by the previous owner. Personally I would have been quite happy with XP. It seemed OK until I did something I did so often with my old PC. I tried to play a simple game of Microsoft Freecell. I got the message "Hardware Accelerator disabled or not supported by Video Card Driver". I opened the Device Manager to enable the Hardware Accelerator, to find that there was no driver installed. I contacted the Seller who said I might need a "much more powerful Graphics Card" to play games. Really? I had one of these PC's before and never had a problem playing Solitaire or Freecell. I wasn't going to play super-duper Space shoot-em-ups after all. How do I find out which Driver I need to download?
I have a Sony Vaio VGN-NS30E/W, on which I am running Windows 7.Some days ago, I have installed a new driver for the Sony Visual Communication Camera (Motion Eye) webcam and the device worked fine. However, today the device has stopped working (Code 43) and it now states that it is using the older version of the driver.Can anyone tell me where I can find the new driver files on my laptop, so I can manually locate them? I have installed them via DriverMax, so am not quite sure where the driver is located.
This is my first post on this forum. I am a "silver surfer" with basic PC knowledge, so please "be gentle with me".I have recently changed PCs and took the opportunity to upgrade to Windows 7 Home Edition 32 bit. All has gone well, except:-
I have a small (80Gb) external drive, on to which I copied all my pictures and some other "My Documents" data from my old PC under Windows XP. When I plug this in to any USB port on the new machine, the power light comes on, but nothing else happens. If I click on COMPUTER, the drive does not show. However, another smaller drive (as well as my Kindle) are both recognised, whichever USB port I use.
If I go to Devices and Printers, the drive is listed as "Unspecified" and as "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge". Windows Troubleshooter reports "Couldn't identify the problem" but also saying "This device is working properly".
I've recently built a new computer and am trying to install Windows 7 on it (Professional 64-bit full version, acquired through MSDN-AA, burned on a DVD). The installation works for a few minutes but then it tells me that Windows can't find the driver for the DVD drive, an LG GH22NS50 DVD Writer, and prompts me to browse for it. The driver is supposed to be plug'n'play, so there's no CD and I can't find it online. I don't know how the installation has worked at all without the driver, but I seemingly can't get past this point without pointing Windows to a driver.
I've recently bought ST-Lab A142 PCI ATA 133 IDE Card to make RAID to make RAID from my 2 HDD drives 60GB each.
It comes with a cd on which there are drivers for win 2000/xp/vista 32/64bit. But no mention of Windows 7. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on this RAID but it doesn't see RAID. I've tried downloading the lates drivers from ST-Lab official site but with no success, Windows 7 just doesn't want to install them. Is there any solution u can advice?
I bought a new laptop and it came with Windows 7 Premium. I have a Canon Pixma ip3000 printer. I have looked everywhere.My printer is not listed. I tried the trick of choosing USB virtual port and then searching for the latest printers. It still wasn't there.I have the install disk, does not work.
In 7000 Windows an old Vista driver worked but I can't get media center to work with any of them in 7100. I've got the TV guide etc. all set up, it just can't find the tuner and I know this usually happens when a driver is wrong or absent.
I am not sure if I can still fix this but I am trying not to lost hope here. This started when I upgrade my professional XP to windows7 Ultimate. I was able to use it for at least 3 months with no issue but then my computer crashed. I decided not to use windows7 anymore and then installed back my XP professional but even I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the XP os, my computer tends to use the generic driver of the video card. It will not detect now my monitor driver as well. I still have all th cd drivers but my computer always tells me it can't locate the driver. Should I replace or buy a new video card or is it my monitor driver that is damaged?
