Help Installing Drivers.

[jdpatel]

Ok A while back I asked about where to get Realtek AC'97 drivers. Now I have a problem installing them my computer automatically recognizes the hardware and then starts installing the drivers and all of a sudden it asks for alcxwdm.sys and I don't know what to do and I can't find that file. And somethimes when I try to install the driver, it automatically shuts my computer down and then when I turn the computer on the driver isn't installed. :angry: :angry: :frusty: :frusty:

Look here:

The alcxwdm.sys file is the 5th one down, it's in that zip file. Maybe this will help? :unsure:

[jdpatel]

it doesn't have ALSNDMGR.CPL file :(:(

[jdpatel]

I got it to find those files but it now says that it cant be installed and there is [Code 10] error. :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

Sound Card: Realtek AC'97
Motherboard: Intel Blue Mountain 2 D845PEBT2
What doesn't make sense is the fact that you say the audio is Realtek AC'97 and the motherboard has "Integrated Audio: ADI Cadenza".

Do you have a separate sound card?

Realtek AC'97 isn't a sound card anyway, it's the integrated audio.

The driver vb1234 gave you should work. :huh:
