186842 2003-10-26 20:10:00 I installed Windows 95, but I had to do it without detecting Plug and Play.

Now, somehow I have to get drivers for everything off the internet.
I dont even know how to find out what I need drivers for, but here is a start.

All these show up in Device Manager, under Other Devices

ATAPI CD-ROM DRIVE 32X
GENERIC IDE DISK Type 46
HP CD-WRITER+ 9100b
and 4 Unknown Devices

I did a hardware report on my computer using aida32

bloggsworld.orcon.net.nz
The first one is before the fomat, but only a lite report.
The second is a complete report after the format.

I have a 4mb Creative Graphics card as well.

186843 2003-10-26 20:18:00 It sounds like the 3 devices you've listed are using generic drivers. The unknowns will have to be identified. Only you know what other devices are installed.

What was that link supposed to go to - it doesn't work

186844 2003-10-26 20:28:00 No, it doesnt work at the moment. Its on Orcon freehost, and that seems to be down at the moment. mejobloggs (264)

186846 2003-10-27 04:07:00 have you installed the motherboard drivers? tweak'e (174)
186847 2003-10-27 05:08:00 I have not done it myself. Windows might have though.
I cant get my keyboard to work.

Motherboard MSI 6117

186848 2003-10-27 07:39:00 try windows update and see if it locates any drivers for you. When I build a new system I get online with minimum drivers installed and let windows update locate and install the latest drivers for me! Augustus (4490)
186849 2003-10-27 07:44:00 cool. First I have to get it on the internet.

It has a modem, but no wire/cord thing to plug it into the wall.

Windows does not have motherboard drivers to install. You will have to do that yourself.

186851 2003-10-27 08:17:00 you need to download the win 95 motherboard and agp drivers for this board
Had a quick look but the msi homepage links to its driver section on this board are dead but you can obtain the manual for your board from here


www.msi.com.tw


for the rest pull the sound card and modem note the card names or chipset names/designations of them and go hunting
