ok now i think i messed up, i went to device manager and removed the sound card, but i also removed the video card too to try to reboot it also at the same time. Now when i went to reboot i got a winow that asked me to insert the driver disk to install the file es1869.vxd and i inserted the disk directed the search to go to the D:\ drive and it couldnt find the file so i skipped it. The same also happened with the essmpu.drv file couldnt find it so i skipped it.

Now when I reboot it goes through the rebooting but then after the window screen appears it sits for a while then the screen goes black and i get some text at the bottom ofr the screen saying

out of timing
v:87hz H:35.5khz

And just a black screen now. did i really mess it up now?

Thanks

Yes you did! Go in in Safe Mode and uninstall the video adapter and you should be back to square one.

Hi tyger,

I did what you said in safe mode to no avail. still keep getting the out of timing on a black screen.

ok im back in business, now still no sound, went to device manager and sounds, and there is a funny cauion sig in front of just this :
ES1869 Plug and Play AudioDrive[WDM]

So it looks like all i need now is the sound to work and i will be done.

ok i went back to device manager and removed the above mentioned devide and now restarted. It keeps asking me to insert the disk labeled Driver Disk. then click ok, when i put the disk in, the new hardware window comes up and says the file es186.drv on driver disk cannot be found. what should i type into the *Copy files from:* window?

Now that I've reread your first post, the out of timing refers to the video being beyond the sync range of your monitor.

What kind of computer is it? You might want to go to the maker's site and plug the model/serial in and try to find the downloads for the drivers.

[fixit5561]

Tyger,

Hi, the computer is a clone, i had it made for me quite a while ago by blue water computers here in town. i will check his site but i doubt if there is a driver for the sharp monitor on his site. what other options do i have for this? i just got the CD monitor about 3 months ago and every so often it goes out of timing and i have to reboot to get it back.

Thanks
Brian

[fixit5561]

no he doesnt even have his site up any more so i emailed sharp to see if they have a driver i can use for it.

ok tried to install it from the disk, i found it and direct4d it to the path. But when it tried to use the update device driver wizard i put the path in and it came out that it could not be istalled and said, Windows encountered an error while trying to install the driver for this device. Error code 1FB

So it wont install the driver,

Also windows is telling me that the driver that is installed matches the device coser than the one im trying to insatll.
Now what?

Thanks
Brian

1069,

Ok thank you, you have been extremely patient with me and i appreciate that.

ok i downloaded it to my desktop,(its a zip file) then i open it and it runs an install program for the drivers to be loaded.

Then when i go to restart i get the new hardware is found window comes up and when it loads the last driver, i think it wont load all the way because my screen goes into that *out of timing*. then i have to restart again and it starts up no problem but there still is no sound. Also when i restart my pc it gets stuck in the *windows is shutting down* window and wont move and i have to shut it off manually before it will reboot.

I went to the device manager and it still has the yellow sign in frot of es1869 plug and play audiodrive. i hit the properties of it and hit update driver and it comes up and says the driver is alredy installed for this device. so i hit finish and still the yellow sign in front of it. When i hit remove, to remove the es1869 plug and play audiodriver my screen goes black and i get the out of timing again.

Im stumped is there anything else we can do? Should i jus start fresh and reformat the whole thing? The only thing in there that i havent been able to get backed up is my old emails is all.

Thanks
Brian
