I need some help with my Sound Card

**AssMan** · November 1st, 2006, 04:45 PM

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S101 Notebook / Lap Top. I am looking for a Sound Card Driver that does not require Service Pack 1 or 2. Service Pack 1 gives me WMI errors that wont end & Service Pack 2 eventually freezes my taskbar & any computer I install it on ends up unusbale. So here I am asking for some help in finding a Sound Card Driver for the Toshiba Satellite A105-S101 Notebook / Lap Top that does not require Service Pack 1 or 2. I would really apprechiate the help. Thanks in advanced

Toshiba has a driver posted here that should work with all versions of XP, and doesn't require any particular service pack. Your laptop should work fine with all service packs for XP. Since it doesn't seem to, I would start by running a good set of malware removal tools, followed by System File Checker. I think you have more worries that just flaky sound.

Thnks for replying but that Sound Card does need a Service pack. Ah well the search continues

You can always try a generic multi-purpose one: look here;

I have read that but as I said I only get WMI errors after SP1 installed

There has to be Sound Card Drivers out there for this Lap Top that does not need a Service Pack

I`ll bet your lappy is similar to mine no floppy. You could find your harrdrives
utility and write zero`s to drive, and then reload windows and then update
with all service packs to have sound drivers installed without problems

I'm puzzled, I have never known a driver that insisted that a service pack was required before install. What exact error do you get when you install the driver?

**street1** · November 2nd, 2006, 07:07 AM

So why not have SP1 and 2?

Have you added software or hardware since you got the laptop?

Have you tried a complete re-install from scratch like xpuser357 mentioned?

Just a sample. I formatted with windows disk and when all was done my settings for wireless passwords were still there!!!!!! Malware can also stay there if it is powerful enough. When you write zero`s all is gone. 1 out of
100 will need to be written again and again.

I have no idea what Malware is but I am right now updating my Windows (recently reformatted) then will install a Service Pack & hopefully all will work since I updated Windows

Do you have a complete registered windows disk? You should have NO
problems with SP1 or SP2. when I recieved my disk SP1 was already
in with my disk. I also recieved sticker of authenticity. DO YOU HAVE
THAT???? Just asking because if your disk is scratch or smudged it also
will not complete.

I have a legal store brought Windows XP Home Edition & this is the one & only Windows XP I brought since the first day it came out there is no Service Pack included
