You need to choose install then let it tell you it cannot find anything then tick do not remind me about this

I get the dialogue box to go next and it searches for the most upto date drivers and prompts that drivers not found and installs non reccomended ones a yellow ? is mon the device manager there is no option to 'DO NOT REMIND ME OF THIS'
When does it come on?????

[dsenette]

the easiest way to get rid of those messages is to get the drivers for those devices

[Retired Tech]

Go to device manager then uninstall what it has put in then reboot the PC and click install when it asks, choose I will look for location and then I will choose a driver from a list then click have disk and choose any unsuitable file and it won't be able to install it

As dsenette correctly points out getting the correct drivers would do, so if you can post the make and model of the devices then someone can look them up

[DAKTARI]

I may not have been very clear the point is I have not put in any new devices.

When you click install it will say what it is looking for

[dsenette]

no...but you did reinstall 98....and those drivers were probably not installed with the O/S

To add to all of this, you basically need to go to either the computer maker's or the motherboard maker's website and download the installation files for the drivers for the devices in question, and run them. they are usually in .exe form, sometime zipped, and will include instruction for their use. I've had to do it many times myself, and so has anyone else who works with computers.
