Win all my tokenz!!!

[Fox Mulder]

This seems to apply to me:



My board ID is: CF94510J.15A

I think that's the BIOS version. Did you download belarc and run a system audit? What does it identify as your MOBO brand and model?

Regardless, the drivers have to match one of those 945 chipset MOBOs. All Intel does it manufacture the same board for Gateway without identifying it because Gateway doesn't want you dealing with Intel, they want you dealing with them. But its got to be the same fucking board as one of those. I'd download the audio driver and try that to see if you get sound and if that words, try the other ones.

 

[Fox Mulder]

My best educated guess is that this is your board and the drivers that should work for XP Professional:

Download Search Results

and I think the audio you have is Sigmatel so use that one because there are several.

 

[Alien Allen]

Mulder I am impressed

Now I see how you got started at TSG

When the hell did you find the time to learn this shit??

Or are you really a 20 year old nerd

 

[lumpenstein]

Agreed about the mobo being the same and the Gateway bullshit. I once swore I would never buy OEM...just fuckin' shoot me!

Anyways, I have some drivers to try out. That Intel video driver failed and so did the TV driver. I still haven't gotten a NIC card to work yet...

...back in a few.

Well one of those Intel board driver's will work for sure, you just have to find the right one.

Yeah, I was a tech moderator before they had civilzed debate and random--hell, I started the fucking random and civilized debate sections!

That was long before all the dipsticks they have now though.

I knew you were there early on

did not know you were a tech mod

also knew you got the CD and Random going

you left when the writing was on the wall

bunch of idiots posting

 

[Fox Mulder]

Hey Lumpy--those Intel boards are very nice boards--you should be glad you have one--much better than a lot of the crap that is used today for OEM.

 

[lumpenstein]

Yeah, dude; this is a fairly decent board but the BIOS is somewhat limited in its versatility compared to my old number, but that is ancient history.

I got lucky and shot my net adaptor into Google and came up with good drivers. I'm online with XP as I post this.

Now needed:

- video (I still have hi-res but the display is squished down)

- Audio and/or TV

Now that I know what to do I plan on partitioning the rest of my secondary drive and dual booting with Vista, then I will have to nuke the original primary drive and repartition the as I did with this one so that XP can see it all. DBan is a good find but you have to know what you are doing and read carefully. It doesn't give the option to choose drives if you have more than one. It nukes everything it finds! :eek

did you download the Sigmetel drivers from that link I gave you above? Try that.

 

[lumpenstein]

For fuck's sake Mouldy. Warn me to turn down my ear plugs before I do a sound test. I think I blew a fuckin' eardrum!!! :eek

So I assume that sound card driver worked?

 

[jassilem]

Jim says: Yeah everything "sounds good". Still need video drivers and scrolling is very jerky/jumpy.

 

[sierrabravo]

omg i'm so glad i am still using my older computer (about 4 years old)... whenever i reinstall windows, everything works, just need the soundcard cd. I cant imagine what i would do if my comp was pissing me off...

 

[Fox Mulder]

Didn't he download the video driver from that link? That should work fine. Also, if he installs Belarc, that should tell him what kind of video card he has.

 

[lumpenstein]

Haven't run Belarc yet. The driver didn't work.

 

[lumpenstein]

Belarc desn't show a video driver but I know from an earlier search that it is Nvidia Geforce 7500LE.

The TV card says: Vixs Pure TV-U 4899. No luck there yet either.

 

[lumpenstein]

Well, it's past my bedtime so I'm going to call it a night. We have made definite progress and tomorrow I want to continue the search for the video driver. I also need the TV card driver but that is low priority for now. I accessed it through the media centre on vista but I don't have that on this XP corporate version so I made need third party software.

Until tomorrow...

 

[Fox Mulder]

Well if its a 7500 then just go to Nvdia and download the 7 series driver for XP or let it automatically determine the driver you need:

Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers

Hello West coast!

Thanks for the link but it's the same one I tried the other day. It is strange in that it completely removes screen resolution and freezes it at 800X600/16bit. I use add/remove software to kill it and went back to the native XP drivers.

I then dug through my piles of CD's and found the disc that came with the monitor. I let it auto install and voilá! I now have the proper aspect ratio of 1440X900. It also has cured the jerky screen. (Yeah, I know; every time I think "jerk" why does Wacor come to mind?)

I think that's it for now. I will worry about the TV drivers at a later date when I find some software for it.

You claim you don't want my tokenz but I am oblige to honour my offer so tell me what to do with them (and please be polite!)
