I did the things that you told me to do. Remember I got the BSOD. I've downloaded different sites I've personally did, other sited that others told me and when I found that site for eMachines, I even downloaded the one that is suppose to be for my machine.
I believe this will work for you:
In XP, you do a 'prt scr' then open Paint and click edit and then paste and then click Image, then 'Stretch/Skew' and enter 50 in both Stretch spaces (was 100) and then click file, save as and save it as whatever name you want AND specify jpeg.
Then just attach it here.
Thanks CCT
I did part like you said, but did not know about the stretch part. I just did the box that's in the top menu left side. And that is how I did it. It's alittle smaller that I had thought it would be. I hope that NooNoo will be able to read it. I can read but not easily. Anyway, I hope that I've given her the info that she wanted.
Gees! all you guys&gals have been so gracious with your time. THANKS
OK, it says no drivers are installed... so lets uninstall that device entirely in a minute....
You say that there are no entries for realtek in add/remove programs either... is there one for soundmax? In control panel, (switch to classic view - link on the left) look through the icons, is there a sound max icon (blue with white sideways triangle on it or blue with yellow circular pattern) or a realtek icon? http://www.embeddedlinks.com/chipdir/logo/realtek.gif
Thing is, there are two possible different sound devices for your machine. So before you do anything, go to the download page I put in my post (#78) above and download both the realtek and the sound max drivers. Do not run these files, save them...Create two directories - Save one in c:\realtek sound and save the other in c:\sound max sound.
Delete all the files you have downloaded and saved... to avoid confusion later. I think you have a fair few on your desktop from unpacking various files.
Now uninstall anything to do with realtek or sound max you can find in add/remove programs and then go to device manager and uninstall the realtek ac97 entry.
Leaving device manager open (you get to see it updating itself, it does no harm) Double click the soundmax file you downloaded and saved in c:\sound max sound. Follow the wizard. Post any messages you get.
If it fails, we will repeat the whole procedure above, except you will double click the realtek file you downloaded.
If neither of these works, we need to consider the possibility that the onboard sound has failed or a setting in bios/setup needs adjusting or we have got ourselves a complete driver minestrone and need to reload this machine.
I know I said that I did not have any Realtek in Add/Remove but I do, and it will not let me remove. I did a screen shot of what I got and hope you will be able to see and not be to small. I've tried to remove and can't. I ran a program to check for errors on computer and fix and I guese it put it back.
These are some things that are all set on Manual that I found don't know if this will be Helpful or not:
dmusic--Microsoft Syntheizer
srmkaud- MicrosottDMR Audio
smwdm
splitter--Audio splitter
Don't see any Sound Man Icon in Add Remove. Before problem started don't remember seeing any Sound Man Icon any where. Could have been there tho.
sumidi[not sure of spelling] Microsoft wavable Synth.

Still cannot remove Realtek from Add/Remove-Error message...Install Shield try again
Went to Device Manager and deleted it thinking that I could then uninstall it, could not.
Went to eMachine page for Realtek, downloaded, saved, and put in C:\ per you instructions.
No Sound Man in Add/remove or Control Panel to remove
Went to eMachine page and download, saved, and put it in C:\ per your instructions
Went to eMachine page and downloaded Chipset , saved to Drivers C:\ then I OPENED and INSTALLED.
While in C I looked at Drivers....Media Reader...Set Up Install Shield Software Corp. Do you think I should run this Installer, or do you think it is already installed and the installer is just in folder.
I have not attemped to install Realtek or Sound Man, because, your instructions were to unistall all Realtek and I can't. Is there another way to uninstall it other than using the ADD/REMOVE...........Instructions from NooNooNow uninstall anything to do with realtek or sound max you can find in add/remove programs and then go to device manager and uninstall the realtek ac97 entry.
Hey NooNoo
I'm geting the BSOD again. It could be system puting that Realtek back that I deleted in Device Manager-Hardware. I disabled it for the time being so I could get system back up and running. I have not RUN either sound programs Realtek Sound or Sound Man that I have in a folder so it has to be the one that I deleted causing it.
I will be going with grandson racing again this weekend and it will be Tuesday before I can do anything else on this crazy computer. I really need a break. Also I figure you need a break from me and my post .
NooNoo
One more thing. I said that I had to disable Realtek to keep from having the BSOD. I decided to try to delete it again while it was Disabled and it was a Successful Delete. Now I'm ready to try to download the other Realtek and Sound Man from the folder in my C: Drive. I will wait till I return Tuesday and have more time to work with it.
Hi NooNoo I'm home again from a good race weekend. No wins. We really did not expect any. He came in 6th in one race and 7h in another. He's racing with the real Pro's now. He's only been racing for 2 yrs. now. Some of those Pro's have 20 yrs experience.
When you have time, I'ed appreciate your continued help.
Now to the real problem or Realtek Problem I tried to let the computer download as you instructed me to do from Device Manager and it would ask for my disk. So, I went to the C: folder where I had saved and did the install. Well, my computer let it totally install and then I let it do a shut down/restart. As soon as it began to restart I would get the BSOD. I tried 3 times and everytime the BSOD would appear. I finally had to load in the Safe Mode and disable it so I would be able to boot up.
Here's alittle history about this computer. When it was given to me for Christmas 2 1/2 yrs ago, it had SP1 on it and was updated to SP2. Before it was updated to SP2 this computer got where it would turn it's self on and off constantly. Upgraded to SP2 and still the same old thing. Finally took it to a tech and he said it was the motherboard. A new one was installed, and he gave me a copy of the download disk. So I do have a copy of the SP2 on a disk.
For your reference - the T2882 model 'appears' to have the exact same specs as yours AND has the downloads available.
Might be worthwhile making a CD up with ALL the downloads they have there.
:)
Could you give me the location that your speaking about???Quote:

Hi
I want to start out with thanking all of you who tried so hard to help me with my problem. You guys sure are a great bunch of people. I truely think that you exhausted all your knowledge to try to help me without being here and touching my computer. I have learned alot about computers from you.
I finally had to take this computer to a tech. Everything you guys tried was correct. The tech tried to download Realtek and the same thing that was happening to me happened to him the BSOD. He was not able to download either. He finally came to the same conclusion that I had. We had to reformat this computer. He told me the problem was that Microsoft would not recognize the Realtek Driver. He said that there was some kind of glitch going on in the system. Even after reformatting, he could not get the sound card on my computer to work. He had to put another sound card in this computer.
:thumbs: up to all of you.
I'll not be leaving this group now that I have sound. I've learned to much from you.

Glad you got it resolved Biker Chick! Thanks for letting us know the result, and we'll be pleased to have your continued company even if you don't have any more computer problems. :)
I'm relieved:) that this problem is fixed. Of course, just geting everything back and set-up again is a pain.Quote:

In my newspaper, there was an article about a program that is set up where old computers are donated and they are training teen and college kids to tear down, rebuild, learn web site design, and repair computers. Then, they will donate to needy people. I thought that this would be something that I would like to do. I've thought about contacting my local Community College to see if they have any program similar to this.
Biker Chick
That sounds like a worthwhile idea. I hope you can find something like that.
