Had some problems and had to format, have fixed the video but am stuck as to how to id and install the sound card. This is a Windows 98SE. SiS620-ME-99VM-00. I have no idea who is the manf. of the motherboard(99VM).
I am new at this so any help anyone my be able to give to me I say "THANK YOU".
Welcome to windrivers Stag. Your motherboard is an Asus ME-99VM. All your drivers are here: http://www.asus.com.tw/support/downl...VM&Type=Latest
You have onboard Crystal Logic 4280 sound. You have a choice of two win98 drivers - vxd or mdm. You will probably have better luck with the vxd.
Will he ? - I dunno if you can say that ..Quote:

'hook' to different levels within the o/s & use those features to work - either way a badly written one will fail - I guess Hudonsmith is taking the notion that the extra complexity isn't 'quite so' in 98SE (this is when the idea of standard drivers using embedded function calls took over inside a standard windows method -WDM - instead of writing them just for any device -VXD) - so my general advice is to try the WDM driver that should work first & then if you have issues fall back to the earlier type, VXD ..
Note you may not find a 98 driver other than WDM type, in that case try 95 drivers which will definately be VXD type ones ;)
My saviors! :thumbs2:
Same problem
Compaq Presario 5000
Don't have any other information about it
Replaced Win98 with Win2000 Professional
Multimedia Audio Controller - no driver
No drivers in computer and have no disk
Search on web has not been fruitful
Not much of a computer guy - maybe worse tht that!
Any help will put me back in good standing with wife and kids :sad:
Thanks - Tim
Welcome to windrivers Tim. Need to know the specific 5000 you have - should be a letter following the number. Look for a sticker on the top or back of the computer.
looked over under sideways and down - the only number, other than the 5000 on the front face of the tower I could find was inside a plastic sleeve like drawer on the front.
It is:
"Model 5WV232"
"3509FPPWN34H"
Quotations mine
Thanks
