sound Thanks Norepli. The notebook is at home, I will have a look where this driver is and see what I can tell you. I may be a couple of days before I get back to you. Being that you are talking to someone who is not a tech person, can you give me any more tips on what to look for. I can locate...

sound Thanks Norepli, I do , and it was XP I upgraded from. Advanced Driver updates tried to use/upgrade this driver, spent over 2 hours, connected by team viewer, and could not fix this problem. Fixed everything else. My notebook is a generic brand and I did download speccy which shows all the...

sound Thanks Norepli, I am up to date. I have had a lot of issues, now solved with help from this forum. Last remaining issue is sound. I was wondering whether you can buy a usb video card and if this would work. BobP

drivers Thanks Gunner. The only problem I have now is sound, because the notebook is 5 years old, and even though windows 8 said before download, everything would work after downloading, the video card is not recognised and there is no sound when playing CD's or DVD unless you plug in usb...

Thanks for the reply, I will try that and see how I go. Bob

Hi all, I have a sound problem after downloading Windows 8, no sound on CD, & dvd will not load, have downloaded windows media centre. Has anyone used, or does anyone recommend using any of the paid driver download sites such as Driver Navigator to fix these type of probs. I can see on this...

Thanks Z, sending this from work, sorted out the desk top as you said, that's great. Still have the sound prob with cd & dvd not opening, as, it seems, are many, many others on this forum. Do you think it would help going to one of those driver download sites for $29.95 per year. I did try...

Hi znod. I have updated all my drivers since I last spoke to you, and w8 seems to be working a bit better now. Wi-fi still says off but it is working ok.I have 2 issues you may be able to help me with or point me in the right direction. I have a message that says the video card is not compatible...

Hi Znod, if that is not your real first name, my apologies, if it is, it a great name. Have not tried your latest suggestion, it is too hot , 40 Celsius in Sydney,near 50 down south and fires every where, 100 homes lost,too hard to think about Microsoft 8. Talk to you later in the new year...

Thank you znod. As above it is now working, but still says off. Can ups tell me how to update wireless network adaptor and firmware. I now realise windows 8 is not for ordinary computer users, only for people that that get inside microsofts head and change the system. I have used every system...

Thanks Alex. It is working now, even though it says wifi off. I went to settings, change pc settings and clicked on the off bar and even though it did not change to on, the wifi worked, very peculiar mama. I will try your suggestion as well and let you know. Thanks very much for your reply...

Have updated to 8 from XP. Can't use wifi. I can connect but wifi says off and I cannot work out to turn on. I have a generic lap top that never missed a beat under XP. With XP the driver was, per the cd, wireless networking solution by msi. When I check after upgrade it now says ralink...
