| 611633 | 2007-11-15 02:37:00 | hey I was wondering if someone could help me? I have just completely wiped my hardrive and then reinstalled windows xp on it. From there I found that I could no longer play all the games I used to be able to play because the computer doesn't have the right drivers. I could play all these games before I reformatted the computer but now i cant. I also have no sound because of missing drivers also I was wondering if someone could please tell me how to get these drivers back or what i should do so I can use sound and play the games. thanks |

| 611634 | 2007-11-15 02:40:00 | You have to find out the brand/model of the system / mobo. Then go to the manufacturer's site. And download the LAN/sound/motherboard drivers etc. Whatever is onboard. Then install them. |

| 611635 | 2007-11-15 03:44:00 | yea ive had a look but the manufacturer of this computer has gone under. its the pc company an they dont have a website is there anything else i can do | bjw90 (13029) | ||
| 611636 | 2007-11-15 03:52:00 | But whats the brand/model? Or what was the system?? HP?? other? If you can find a brand and model and if its an HP, go to HP (http://www.hp.com) and do a search. PC would have been when it was purchased from. But not necessarily the manufacturer of the mobo. Is there some kind of sticker somewhere on the back / front of the case |

| 611638 | 2007-11-15 04:05:00 | Being PC Company they dealt mainly in ECS boards, usually Purple in colour. There will be a number / Letters bigger than the rest on the Board someplace Something like K7ASA < EXAMPLE only. If It is an ECS board go to This site (www.ecs.com.tw) and scroll through. Other wise post back any numbers/letters you locate and someone will direct you to the right place. Updating: OKay Just saw you said the User Manual - what is the letters / numbers on the front cover. |

| 611639 | 2007-11-15 04:11:00 | it says on the front cover that the main board is L4S8A2 | bjw90 (13029) | ||
| 611640 | 2007-11-15 04:15:00 | Looks like it is ECS then. It could be this (www.ecs.com.tw(V1.0)&CategoryID=1&MenuID=82&LanID=0) Or this (www.ecs.com.tw) The drivers appear to be the same, the BIOS will be different. So dont get the BIOS if yours is up to date. |
