baybee Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 Hey everyone ...I did a "first" yeswterday ... a "clean reinstall" of XP Home on my PC ... which was badly in need of same.Anyways ... it went pretty smoothly, all things considered,with one exception:I couldn't load the drivers for my Viewsonic 20.1" LCD monitor(model # VX2025wm) ... even though I had them on theoriginal Viewsonic CD that came with the monitor.What's with that ? ... Currently, when I scroll down any page (internet or otherwise)I get a "jerky" effect as I scroll down ... I'm pretty sure that'sa drivers issue ... it sure never did that pre-clean install of XP.Anyway ... this "jerky" effect, when scrolling, is majorly annoying / distracting ... and any advice on how to get thingsback to "normal" would be greatly appreciated.Thanks everyone !t.

Click on Device Manager, and you will see which item's driver need to be updated.(Those that have a ?)Just select whichever item and right click to select update driver, insert you disk and just follow the wizard instruction.

LoKz Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Just do a Windows Update or go to your device manager try and update the drivers with the yellow question mark "?" or just simply Update in windows. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's the graphics card drivers for sure :P Which graphics card are you using? I'll find you the drivers ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baybee Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's the graphics card drivers for sure :clap: Which graphics card are you using? I'll find you the drivers :think:Hi ... my PC is a "stock" HP a1626nI don't think it has any "stand alone" graphics card ... just whatever was built into the motherboard. Same goes for the audio.I tried the advice of previous posters ... went into "device manager", right clicked on the items that had a yellow question mark,clicked on update drivers, etc.It seemed like an easy process. Unfortunately, after trying to dwonload the first updates ... my PC crashed ... repeatedly ... and I'd just finished a "clean install" ... so this shouldn't be happening.I couldn't even log on, and the darn PC would crash. I decided to haul out my XP Home disc, and use it to do a "repair" ... that solved the crashing problem. The PC is running smoothly again.But I still don't have sound / graphic drivers installed.What happened / went wrong ??? Thanks everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shought Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've done a quick search for you and got to the driver/software download page from HP for your model.Driver/Software Download page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3254009I searched for a graphics card driver and found it, it seems your MoBo has the NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE(Original NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE Graphics Drivers) built in.They can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3254009I also searched for your audio drivers and it seems that you have the Realtek HD Audio built in(Original Realtek High Definition Audio Drivers). They can be found here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwar...product=3254009As you can see I made both the 'Original's bold. This is because I want to make a point. Fall 2006 means they got released Fall 2006(obviously). That's not really interesting, but it does prove that these can be pretty outdated. The 'Original' kicks in here, Original meaning that they didn't adjust them for your PC, but just got them from the NVIDIA and Realtek driver download pages. So you can(most likely update your systems to newer drivers. If you don't feel comfortable with this you shouldn't and just stick with the 2006 ones, but I recommend updating as almost nothing can go wrong.The latest NVIDIA driver for your product: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.htmlThe latest Realtek driver for your product: ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/WDM_R202.exe (I could only get a direct link as the download page would redirect me to an earlier page :wacko: But I am sure this is the one for your product :think:)A 'quick search' turned into a whole searching :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But from where I'm at there's probably time difference involved as the site is hosted in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
