Someone please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

 

You can download the sound driver by clicking here. If that driver doesn't work, please use the following steps to provide us with a complete Everest report, and we'll try again

(above instructions originally posted by MG member musksnipe... thanks muskie!)

 

I have tried that driver and installed it and still hasn't worked do you think i should purchase a new sound card and plug it in.

 

Nevermind, I need more coffee.

 

Try installing your chipset driver first:
SiS 650/961 AGP Driver
Then the audio driver, dlb suggested.
If that still doesn't work, attach a FULL Everest report.

 

I have downloaded the chipset no problems and tried to add hardware again and selected from the list but i keep getting a error message:

installation complete but there is a error occured during the installation of this device. The name is already in use either a service name or a service display name. and then device disappears

how do overcome this?

please help

 

Post a full Everest report for us.

 

What do you need to know on the report.

so I can post one on here for you.

 

Follow the posted instructions for Everest. That will give us all the info we need to take a good look inside.

 

The link I posted above to the audio driver seems to be no longer working :confused Here's another link to the same driver:

You'll have to choose a download location from the drop down menu, then click the 'Download Now' button....
