I recently reformatted my computer due to a nasty virus that could not be deleted even through Regedit. Even when I did delete what was needed I kept getting an error "Windows Explorer is not responding" and this error would reset every 10s not allowing me to do anything because of refreshing my entire desktop.

Anyhow, I decided to reformat the computer considering it was just bought less then 2 months ago and I didn't have much of a tie to anything on it any way. When I did however reformat and installed Vista again. I have a few errors and major problems that I need someone to contact me via e-mail or a messenger of some sort.

Here are the errors.

• PCI Simple Communications Controller - Code 28 *No Drivers*
  
• Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec - Three of them in device manager. 2 of them have a code 10.
  
• Dxdiag shows I have "n/a" devices!

My graphics card which is a, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT. I had to go onto the Nvidia website and download a driver package. I am not even sure that I downloaded the correct one.

As you can see I am in need of serious help. Help a girl out here!! I used to be pretty decent with computers. Now that I am in high end gaming. Such as FEAR and WOW I really need to get my system back on track.

Shameless bump for a girl in need

[crjdriver]

You will need to go to the maker of your system [if pre-built] or the maker of your motherboard and download the nic and sound drivers. Once installed, those errors will disappear.

[Inkchallenged]

If you had the time could you maybe direct me in the right direction to finding what my motherboard is? Where to get those drivers? I wonder when I re-formatted with the disk they gave me how come those drivers aren't included?? Ugh, the pains of getting a newer top of the line computer. You would think I would know what I am doing =[

[crjdriver]

We can probably point you in the correct direction however you need to post exact specs on our system ie make and model if pre-built OR make, model, and ver# of motherboard if it is a custom build.

[Inkchallenged]

It is a pre-built system. This is all I can think of that could help you and I. Thank you for such a timely response.

[crjdriver]

If it is a pre-built system, then there is a name ie dell, gateway, etc on the system along with a model number. If you had this system custom built, then it came with a manual that lists what it is [and probably a support CD]

[Inkchallenged]

Yes, it is a gateway. Although the only disc they gave me was the Operating System Disc. Of course that is what I used when I reformatted the computer.

[Inkchallenged]

I think this is what I need and I did the steps up to the installation. If you could double check just to make sure this is what I need to fix my computer.

Edit: The steps it told me to do. This is a MQ96510J.XXX.XXXX

[Rich-M]

Gateways have model numbers somewhere...invoice, plate on back of tower, sticker on side of tower and we need the model number to tell you how to find the drivers.

[crjdriver]

That read me is from a bios update; that is NOT what you need to install.

Have you tried the Microsoft Update to search for any available updated drivers?
