Re: Computer will not let me re-install, please help!!!


Right click 'My Computer' on your desktop, select the properties menu item. Click the
hardware tab, press the 'Device Manager' button. Have a look down the list. Items with
yellow circled question (or exclamation marks I think), are devices that need their
respective device drivers installed. Your sound card may not have the device driver for it
installed. Also you may want to install the manufacturer's driver for your graphics card,
reading a few posts above this one.

Hope you work it out.

Re: Computer will not let me re-install, please help!!!

you may also encounter
other issues regarding
hardware.

so far you have issues
with the graphics, wifi
and now the sound.

the issues are likely
attributed to drivers.

if you had utilized the
factory restore disks
instead of a windows
setup cd, the computer
would have been returned
to its original and functional
state.

you should visit the
homesite for the computer
and download updated
drivers, patches, etc...

it is unclear what the
original problem you
were trying to fix before
you created this thread.

if the drivers do not help
then there may be a problem
with the motherboard.

Re: Computer will not let me re-install, please help!!!


The drivers for your hardware should either be on a disc, or discs that came with your
computer, or on a disc that came with the hardware item. If you know what hardware that
constitutes your PC you can take the opportunity to download the latest driver.

Look at the disc(s) that came with your PC.
