| 230797 | 2004-04-20 21:30:00 | Ever so often when I switch my PC on (P2 355 Mhz) I have to go through the installation of a few new devices that Win discovered. Always the same ones (Sound (x2), Joystick (which I don't have). Always get the drivers in the Win folder. I've tried to reinstall drivers in Control Panel - but it still happens How can I get the drivers installed or correct for all times - perhaps editing of settings file? Thx Sarel |

| 230798 | 2004-04-20 22:21:00 | Two common causes of this are:- 1/ Installing drivers that are not the originals 2/ Driver listings within Windows. Normally for 1 , just download the latest from Manufacturers site. Also it is advisable to check your card for names and numbers to confirm you have the correct manufacturer. Google search is great for this. For 2 , start in safe mode and get into Device manager. Expand the sound listing and remove all the listings under it. Restart PC and let Windows re-detect the drivers it is happy with. |

| 230799 | 2004-04-20 22:37:00 | Hi Pheonix Thanks for the advice - see my comments below. "For 2 , start in safe mode and get into Device manager. Expand the sound listing and remove all the listings under it. Restart PC and let Windows re-detect the drivers it is happy with." I did this a lot of times already - no change. "Normally for 1 , just download the latest from Manufacturers site. Also it is advisable to check your card for names and numbers to confirm you have the correct manufacturer. Google search is great for this." Unfortunately my PC flippen old (P2) - I've got the latest drivers in all cases (I checked it out over the weekend, so its fresh info). Anything else that I can do??

| 230803 | 2004-04-21 07:51:00 | Well, I am at a loss at the moment. Maybe some suggestions if no one else has an idea. Move the audio card to a different PCI slot. Try changing the IRQ of the sound card. At this time, I unfortunately have run out of ideas. |
