Title: Re: Music stalling
Post by: John H on May 10, 2008, 12:08:00 PM: Well, I'm not too good at this. I went to the site and didn't see what to install, the Everest I mean. I don't even know how to look up my own driver to uninstall that one. Are there more than one driver? are there drivers for different programs? Sorry I'm such trouble.

Don't install it, yet.

Restart computer, and install new driver.
Title: Re: Music stalling
Post by: John H on May 10, 2008, 07:40:00 PM: Ok Broni, I did everything you said. But when I restarted the computer a driver installed on its own, I don't know if it was the one I downloaded or not.
Title: Re: Music stalling
Post by: John H on May 10, 2008, 07:42:33 PM: An Icon was on my desktop when I downloaded the driver, It looked like an ITune Icon. It said Vista R191, I'm sure thats the new driver.
