This thread is a centeral repository for those of you unsure where to find drivers for devices. You may also post driver updates and question on how to troubleshoot driver problems or other "unknown devices".

these are some useful sites to look for drivers, try checking there first before posting here.

Where Do I Look?
1) manufacturer's website.
MSI motherboard? go to www.msi.com.tw
2) chipset manufacturer's website.
on a Nvidia Chipset? go to www.nvidia.com
3) www.driverguide.com


I Don't Know My Chipset/Device
if you don't know what the heck your chipset is, use this application to help you. Unkown Device Indentifier[/b]

I) you can see that the chipset is Silicon Intergrated Systems a.k.a SIS. therefore you need to go to www.sis.com.

II) next you notice that the chipset model is 7012. go to download/support and search for this chipset model. download the files and install. done.

When you reinstall or upgrade your system, you can restore all drivers by clicking a button. Once after a reboot, all the drivers will be re-installed and will function well. You may also choose to backup a particular driver or all the drivers with an EXE automatic installer. If you have a particular item of hardware that is troublesome, just remove the driver with this software. It is especially useful to those who have lost their Driver Disk or Driver CD. My Drivers is able to clone the original driver installation. It is also capable of serving those people to find and install the appropriate and latest drivers for their hardware devices. My Drivers identifies almost all hardware devices, reported information includes device model, device manufacturer, chip/chipset manufacturer, OEM name, OEM vender.

It is optional to create a floppy disc with My Drivers included for further driver management and hardware detection when no drivers are installed on Windows system. If you have a CD-R or CD-RW recorder or another partition, you might backup the entire set of driver files there.

tq bro... notworthy.gif
but i still cant find the driver cry.gif ...any software can downgrade Vista driver to xp??? notworthy.gif

no because the OS platform is different. the manufacturer needs to write specific drivers for specific platforms.

1. can you point me to the manufacturer's website for this device?
2. have you checked there?
3. the only clue i get from a google search for this particular device are acer matches. is you I/R device built-in to your laptop mobo?
4. if so, have you contacted acer.
