they are only needed if you have not a plugged PCI or AGP graphic card;



where can i find out if i have that graphic card or not? sisandra will tell me that? i have no idea what pci or agp means :(
 
ok, so i followed all the links and these are the 3 files/drivers that i have downloaded

CMI8738_WDM_0639W2K.zip

VIAHyperion4in1447v.exe (which doesnt allow me to install for some odd reason)

8738_wme.zip

as soon as u guys confirm that the files are ok to install, then i will do it

That´s your graphic card:

SAPPHIRE RADEON 9000 ATLANTIS PRO

Again taken from your listing above.

You don´t need the 8738 WME drivers...i think they are for WinMe

@ubamous

i just had a look to the jetway page.

They mixed the 8738WME and the 8738W2K divers !!!

That´s the reason why you downloaded the me divers ;)


What´s about your directx ?..i hope that it is installed ?

I think directx 8.1 is recommended.


@Roady

maybe Sisoft is wrong this time (as often).
Maybe he has an onboard solution and sisoft identified it not correct.

If so then i would use the mobo-manufacturers drivers.

see, i wasn't crazy when i dl the wme driver; so u suggest to use the mobo manuf.driver; but isnt that the same one i had installed before? i just tried to install the driver for the 8738W2K and it didnt work

i wish we have a chat room or so b/c then it'd be much faster; posting back and forth takes so long :(
 
ok, i found the cd that came with the jetway motherboard; i m attaching the menu of what it looks like n then reboot b/c i tried to install the other driver and now my sound doesnt work at all.

Uninstall the (latest) drivers of your Promise Ultra133 TX2 card and replace them by others....
To my knowledge they work properly under NT kernels. Under 9X you must first remove any other "SCSI" peripheral that is present in your system, even a virtual one like Alcohol's, install the TX drivers first, and the start adding the rest. That is because TX demands a standard IRQ, and 9X aint that clever to sort the problem automatically.

@Roady and Scarecrow

If it is really a card and not an onboard chip.

Sometimes Sisoft shows the driver and not the hardware !!

Btw we are looking for a bad sound...are you thinking that mixed irq´s are the problem ?


@Ubamous

Is this your board ?

Jetway 866ASR RAID ?

this is an example for a Graphic Card (also called VGA card); this card is usually plugged in the AGP slot (the largest slot at your motherboard)


the other solution is Onboard VGA, these are only some chips directly integrated on your motherboard; the AGP slot (the largest slot at your motherboard) currently not in use;


you have to tell us what motherboard and additional devices you have set up; otherwise our advices are a fight against windmills;
And was it a completed bought PC or did you prepare the PC yourself?

Yep......:D

Similar prob here

Drivers of the card were replaced with older ones too,to get it 100% working...:D;)

ok, master worked with me earlier on icq and figured out something
V6FP/V6FU is the motherboard

this computer was built by my consultant; basically, i had a sony vaio with 1ghz pentium chip and it worked great; it had 512 mb ram (2 256 chips); it had 2 HD in there, and I wanted to install a 3rd hd that's 160 gig BUT the case was too small to fit all that in, so my consultant convinced me that i could/should get a faster chip (athlon 2400) and a bigger computer case which can house many more things than the current one.

So now, I have bought a new 2400 athlon processor, and of course a new mobo, make the new and faster 160 gig HD the primary drive, transfer the 512 RAM and the other 2 HD from the sony vaio over.

And she originally connected the 160 hd to the mobo directly, but it couldn 't see the full 160 gig, so she reconnected the hd to the pci card (or whatever card that came along with the maxtor HD) and now i could see the full 160 gig. BUT the computer only sees 256 mb of RAM now instead of the full 512.

Plus, the sound has been acting funky ever since this computer was built; we tested it with different speakers and still the same problem; i bought a new separate soundcard and still have the same problem.
And in the last few days, my computer has been BSOD left and right at least 6-7 times a day!!!!!

My consultant is coming over in a little bit to try to figure it out; may be it's the wrong wiring of some sort; she thinks the irq is kinda out of whack because the irq # for sound has some other process occupying it too.

So that's the whole story! :(

Memory Module(s)
Memory Module 3 : 256MB 16x(16Mx8) SDRAM PC100-222-622 (CL2 upto 100MHz)
Memory Module 4 : 256MB 16x(16Mx8) SDRAM PC133U-333-542 (CL3 upto 133MHz) (CL2 upto 100MHz)
I think we have another problem here...bank 3 pc 100

i would use bank 1 and 2 and of course no PC100 ram

Indeed....some systems are very sensitive for such memory setup.......my old trusty Athlon 800 could handle it(tried it LOOOOOOONG ago with 2 64MB sticks...PC133 was just released :D)
 
ok, my consultant is here, and she said that she couldnt put th sdram in banks 1 and 2 b/c only ddram woudl go in there;
she put a new 512 ddram stick in but the sound problem is still there
she also switched the promise card to the other slot but still same problem with sound
