nope...xp will install USB drivers...

[Advertisements]

There are quite a few drivers missing though under device manager>resources by type.
I've placed a couple below, the rest look fairly similar to these. I've also installed the chipset drivers from the cd i got with the motherboard so im playing the waiting game once again...

1. 4 Direct memory access controller
2. (00000000-0000000F) Direct memory access controller
3. (00000010-0000001F) Motherboard resources
4. (00000020-00000021) Programmable interupt controller
5. (00000022-0000003F) Motherboard resources
6. (00000040-00000043) System timer
7. (00000044-0000005F) Motherboardv resources etc.

go to your motherboard manufacture's website and get ALL the latest STABLE drivers for your make and model ..
with all those missing /corrupt drivers I'm surprised it works at all

[Zaine7673]

could the missing/corrupt drivers be the reason my comp is running as slow as it is too?

[happyrock]

yep...

[Zaine7673]

What I did was go to the giga-byte website and used their download centre which basically scans your motherboard and gives you a list of drivers for it. It gave me a LAN Driver, AC97 Codec Driver and a Via 4 in 1 Driver. I think the AC97 is an audio driver but not too sure about the other two. I've installed them but the Device manager still says the same thing (No drivers are installed for this device.) Do I need any other drivers?



Also it hasnt resolved the freezing problem.

go to windows update and get All the updates for your computer...use custom instead of express...look on the left side for any hardware and software updates and get those as well...install them and reboot..

[Zaine7673]

What is it you mean by all the updates, I see alot of categories so I'm a bit confused about what I'm actually looking for.
I know I sound like I dont have a clue what I'm doing but I've tried everything and now I want to see if someone else can find something I couldnt.

[happyrock]

when you go to updates there are several categories.. critical..get all of them...
on the left hand side...hardware..get all of those as well....
software...you can see what those are for and get only those for any programs that you have and use..
the others are optional..

[Zaine7673]

My apologies Happyrck for taking so long but the comp doesnt let me finish the downloads it ends up freezing on me. jus bear with me plz...

[Zaine7673]

Ok the updates are done! There was only one update under hardware which didnt really seem like its important.


Hasnt stopped the freezing by the way.

[wannabe1]

What is installed for RAM right now. Do you have just the original stick in the original slot?

[Zaine7673]

The original Ram (215Mb or something...) is inside the comp. It worked before for 2 years.

[wannabe1]

Probably a 256MB stick. Is it the only stick installed and is it in the slot it was in originally?

[Zaine7673]

I think it is. I've changed it so many times I forgot. If you mean inserting it into the slot correctly wen you say installing then yeah, its installed.
