has anyone used drivermagic
i have installed it on to my comp and run a scan with it and the result is that there are loads of different drivers that it has found and some of them want to change my chip set ,
i have not installed any yet as i don't know if changing the chip set will screw up my comp and if it did would there be any way back from something like that.
It's impossible for software to change your chip set. A chip set is group of chips on your motherboard (physical parts).
It must be wanting you to change your chip set drivers.
sorry i should have put chip set drivers ,
but would this cause any major problems if i went ahead and installed the drivers .
You should be able to roll back any driver . Why not just search your Mobo's web site for updated drivers ? I take it your using generic windows drivers ?
the computer came with xp home installed when i bought it, and when i have updated with microsoft updates there is a audio driver c-media AC97 , when i install that driver it knocks out my audio so i know that i get problems with that one , i dont fancy having problems with a whole load of them.
thanks for your reply.
I used drivermagic and had no problem

Have you tried googling your Mobo drivers ? c-media AC97 is pretty basic you should be able to update with no problems . :) Try a program like Belarc to see what hardware and software you have installed .
