    AC97 driver problem

    I did a fresh windows xp install on a friends computer and now the onboard sound won't work. It's a c-media ac97 2.2 onboard chip. The device manager says "This device cannot start (code 10)". I've downloaded the newest driver and flashed the bios and made sure that the onboard sound is...

    I installed AI booster - no problem (other than it always pops open when you turn your computer on!) I then installed Cool n Quiet - when I start the computer an error message pops us saying to Disable Cool n Quiet first in the bios. So I've disabled it, restarted, then re-enabled Cool n...

    Thank you for the replies! So everyone with a SATA drive has this "safely remove hardware" icon on their toolbar? I haven't found any way to get rid of this icon for my hard drive. Has anyone else tried?

    govern 1, doesn't that seem strange that it recognizes my hard drive as removable hardware? My buddy has an nforce3 Ultra motherboard with this hard drive and it doesn't show up that way for him (his is an MSI board). Would flashing one of the beta bios solve this problem? I'm using version...

    HELP! After installing the Nvidia Chipset drivers (ver 6.31) my Maxtor Sata Drive shows up as a removable disk. I have the green arrow icon in my taskbar that allows me to "remove hardware" after installing the nvidia chipset. I also now have two floppy drives: A & B showing up. Any idea...

    Where do you turn off the "set up a raid array" that appears during boot up in the bios? Just don't want to turn off the wrong thing. Thanks, Syd

    80 pin ide cable looks the same as 40pin ide cable?!

    Hey skreet, So do you think a 40 wire cable is too slow for a combo drive with 52x burner? Thanks, Sorry for the wire/pin confusion. I realize that both 40 wire and 80 wire cables have 40 pins; my bad.

    80 pin ide cable looks the same as 40pin ide cable?!

    Will a 40 pin ide cable be fast enough for a Combo Drive w/52x Burner? My DVD burner says to use an 80 pin cable to get maximum performance, but my combo drive doesn't specify. Thanks!
