medion pc drivers - Page 2

Thats a driver from (what appears) to be the modem manufacturers website.

The other problem may be conflicts in the BIOS causing the problems you are seeing. I don't know how much you know about BIOS and how to fiddle with it though...

Thanks for your help anyways mate, I have used driverguide and d/l some files but none seem to be doing the trick. Not to worry think this is over my head

http://www.sis.com/download/

This is the main download page of the motherboard manufacturer. Use the three boxes to select Windows XP then select the areas you need from the next box and finally the specific version (ie motherboard) from the last box.

Sometimes the selft-test screen (the very first screen you see when you switch on) will give you motherboard information. Alternatively, press "DELETE" whilst on this screen to enter BIOS where you can also find information. Be careful if you've not used BIOS before because you can do some nasty things if you're not careful...

Had a quick mooch in the bios but didnt see any indications. Will look in the link before I get off to me bed.........work tomorrow

No probs mate.

I would offer to come sort it out for you but I'm hardly local

If all else fails I'm sure a local computer shop will sort it out for a small fee.

Is there a way bar print screen key to get the first page to slow down so I can read it properly ?

Unfortunately not so far as I know. Print screen wont work either i'm affraid as at this point during start-up the computer has no knowledge of the keyboard or printer etc.

Camera? That's about the only method I can think of to get a shot of the screen.

Getting somewhere Si,

D/L the sis graphics drivers and the screen looks ok now so I have one less conflict. 3 more to go

Good to hear things are getting somewhere :lol:

Usually the motherboard manufacturer drivers are the way to go to solve driver-related problems. You can then change the drivers one-by-one for more specific requirements afterwards.

Seems strange that the PCI and USB drivers are causing conflicts - these are the two I'd have thought would give you the least problems.

Keep perservering with the downloads from SiS and hopefully it'll get sorted. :lol:

I think that model was also made by ASUS and I am pretty sure the motherboard in that laptop was made by FIC international, (a M785) so you could try the drivers here:
