ARMANI Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Have you tried to do a system restore? More than often that will rectify the fault, just restore it to the previous time you know it was working. Another way may be what I found to be useful for me was to do a Windows update in there is an option to add optional software specific to hardware on your computer.

melthebell Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 right click on my computer/hardware/device manager/sound and video controllers is it listed? does it have a red or yellow symbol? right click on it, you can either try uninstall or update drivers or right click/properties for other stuff to do / more info yes you may need the driver cd or look online for the companies more upto date drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
