lol. its friday now. I dont have school today.  its a teacher inservice 

[Regice 1123]

You must have a different computer than mine. This is an E-Machine, so its made without the programmers really thinking, I guess. Mine dosn't have those. I found both under "Other Drivers"-- That ok?
I also found sound & video codecs and some "Legacy Sound Driver"

[Regice 1123]

Oh yeah! What should I set my virtual memory at???

[Broni]

I found both under "Other Drivers"-- That ok?

Yes, if you mean "Other Devices", and I'm pretty sure, they had yellow exclamation mark next to them.

What should I set my virtual memory at?

You should set it to 1.5 times of your RAM amount.
Say, you have 512MB of RAM, your virtual memory should be 800MB (just to be rounded  number). Set min, and max VM to same 800MB.

yeah it says that. and the vm thing- I forgot how to change it since last time I fiddled with it was 3 years ago lol is it in task manager?

You lucky, but I guess, smart guys like you deserve some break from school, so they can fix computer for a whole family...LOL

Code: [Select]

I fiddled with it was 3 years agoWhen you were 9???
Hey, wait a second, it's only 8AM at my place, and you already started to make my day....LOL

[Regice 1123]

lol     but anyway, I went on a hunt and kill, well hunt and install would be better >_>, I found a driver file that said it had an intel subfile x) should I get the drivers from there? oh yeah- both drivers are in the other devices, so should I upgrade them from there?

[Regice 1123]

LOL, REALLY? THAT WAS FAST! 

[Broni]

Mine dosn't have those. I found both under "Other Drivers"

You were right. See, you are ahead of me. I forgot, that when some devices are missing drivers, they are listed under "Other Devices", but you have to forgive me, because I'm getting older, besides...I just woke up...LOOOOOOOOOL

[Regice 1123]

I don't care if you were wrong really- learning about my comp anyway, lol xD its 11:09 AM here.

[Broni]

both drivers are in the other devices, so should I upgrade them from there?

"Both devices", not "both drivers". Hey as a computer whiz, you have to watch your computer language...LOL
Yes, go from there, and let Windows Wizard find those new drivers. If Windows has any problem finding them, just point Wizard to a location where you downloaded, and expanded them.

[Regice 1123]

oh you know what I mean, lol
eww. I just had to kill a flying ant that  flew off my printer. >_>

[Regice 1123]

Ok, problem- I type in "C:\WINDOWS\Drivers\Intel" so that it looks there and says it cant be reached!! plusI cant find the file anymore!!!!
