As you can see from thsi pciture there are no CD-rom drives. My motherboard is not seeing them....

Here is second pic.

As tyou can see my device manager is having troble. All these things were working and now they aren't. Problem is I can't install drivers cuz my Cd-roms are down aswell. When the cd-roms were still working I tried to reinstall my 9600XT driver and I got the blue screen of death of all things.
Just wondering what options I have or do you think my mobo is fried?
Thanks,
Allan

Your motherboard isn't fried.

You could start by finding drivers for the "Realtek NIC"

Once you get those then you can get online to download drivers for the other things.

When he finds the nic driver how's he's to load it he as NO cd rom's ALL these yellow question marks are for onboard item's which are all on the motherboard cd disc.
Remove both the HL-DT-ST and Sony drives then reboot-Windows SHOULD find them again and reinstall.

Sorry I didn't mention to put the NIC driver into a diskette.

Hmm no CD-rom drive......What windows you are running, it can't be windows XP. Last time i had a problem like that was with win 98, Cause you need to install CD drivers to make it understand that you have some hardware. I'am i right you got win 98 or 95?


If thats the case it's hunt for red october for a set of cd drivers that will install a command in your autobat.exe & config.sys. This really going back :P

Didn't you see the screenshot?

That's Windows XP.


And Maximus359, are those comments towards jaigandhi5 nessasary? I think not!

Big al, what does it say when you click properties on each of the affected devices? No driver installed?

ok here is how to fix probably all of your driver problems.

first download service pack 1, this will fix the drivers for the usb, and also ad drivers for teh graphics card.

then download the latest graphics card update from the manufacturer of card (ati or nvidia most likely).

next right click the two cd drives and go to uninstall on each of them then restart the computer and it will reinstall their drivers.

go to nvdida.com or your mottherboard's manufacturer to download the latest soundcard drivers.

last go to realtek website and download network card driver.

im pretty sure i got everything and post back if it works, dont leave us hanging!
