i just re did my computer, and i need drivers now, but i cannot find where to get them. i have ran win audit but im still not seeing where it tells me what kind of ethernet card i need so i can get the driver and connect to the internet to update the rest of my drivers. so im hoping maybe somebody here can look over my audit and point me in the right direction to get this driver and get my computer connected to the internet. thanx in advance for any help.

here is the section of the audit that lists the devices with uninstalled drivers:

Hi CollinsLL2, what I could really do with is the make and model of your Motherboard (sometimes called Mainboard). If you let me know what the model is I can point you directly to the drivers you need. Have a look again in WinAudit to see if you can see it. If you can't find the model, the devices you have are as follows, but I would much prefer to point you straight to the files from your Motherboard Manufacturer

Ethernet Controller - Intel® PRO/100 VE Network Connection

Multimedia Audio Controller - SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio

Video Controller - Intel® 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller

Is this a name brand system or custom built?
Did you build it yourself?
If so was there a drivers disk in the motherboard box?

[CollinsLL2]

its a gateway as far as i know. i bought the computer off of a friend and i did not get the motherboard disk with it. but there has been at least a little customizing done, but the only thing i know for sure is the fan was replaced with a blue led fan. also i just upgraded ram to 1GB.

[BlackOxide]

OK, well we need to know the model numer of the motherboard to be sure we are getting the right ones.

What I want you to do is download CPU-Z which will give us the details

To do this...

• Download CPU-Z from here
• Save it to a convient place like you Desktop and double click the installer
• Remember to UNtick the Ask Toolbar as you are going through the installer
• Once installed, double click on the CPUID CPU-Z icon on the desktop
• Click the Mainboard tab at the top
• Please post back with the Manufacturer and Model

[rshaffer61]

its a gateway as far as i know

ok Gateway is the make now what model is it?
That board is a most likely a OEM board so it really depends on the model of the system to find the right drivers.

[CollinsLL2]

MANUFACTURER: Intel Corporation
MODEL: D845GRG AAA81583-302

[rshaffer61]

Intel site for drivers for that HERE

[CollinsLL2]

ok thank you for your help, i have almost everythng running right now, but i still have no sound. when i try to install the driver for my sound card it runs the installation and wen it gets to the end i get a message that says "Driver not found. Please reboot your system and try again." i get this same message after i reboot and try again too. just to make sure this is the driver i am trying to install: http://downloadcente...s...70&lang=eng. is this the right one? is my soundcard maybe shot? or is there another problem?? thank you for any help anybody can give.

[BlackOxide]

Yes that is the correct one that you are trying to install. Try this method...

• Make sure you are connected to the internet
• Right Click on My Computer and then click Manage
• Click on Device Manager on the left hand side
• In the right hand pane, Right Click the Yellow question mark which should say "Multimedia Audio Controller"
• Click Update Driver
• Click Yes, this time only, then Click Next
• Click Next to Install this software automatically
• If Windows has the driver available for that device it will download and install it for you.

See if this works

[CollinsLL2]

this just says the hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software.

[rshaffer61]

Possibly on board sound is not enabled in the bios.

[CollinsLL2]

Possibly on board sound is not enabled in the bios.

is there a way to fix that?

[rshaffer61]

To change Onboard Peripherals
Reboot the system and at the first post screen (where it is counting up memory) start tapping the DEL button
This will enter you into the Bios\Cmos area.
Find the Advanced area and click Enter
If not in the Advanced Area then look for Onboard or Integrated area.
Once you find it then scroll to the Audio and highlight it. If not Enabled then look at the bottom of the screen to see how to modify or Change the value.
Once that is done then click F10 to Save and Exit
You will prompted to enter Y to verify Save and Exit. Click Y and the system will now reboot with the new settings.
