    is my driver corrupt?

    hi, i would just like to know if anyone out there can giv me a link to a site or a a program download that can tell me if one of my drivers is wrong, i have been experiencing sudden freezes of my desktop and ethernet (broadband) i think that i have narrowed it down to a recently installed usb card and driver maybe conflicting with my original usb card and driver. thanks in advance for any help

    thanks man, ur just all over this site arnt u. i will try that when i get home. if not im taking that bloody usb card out and redoing it, is it possible the hardware isnt compatable with my computer? it seems like a fairly common card not something real complicated like umm i dunno a new cpu or motherboard

    Just a quick thought is that the card might be USB2 and your motherboard USB1.

    Although most USB2 components are backward compatible it is possible that this card is not.

    If the computer is only 2 years old it is probably USB 2.

    What is the make and model?

    The manufacturer's web site would be the best source for this spec.

    Plus: just thinking out loud: you can always try an external USB hub.

    Hyundai 2600S umm is that the make and model? im not sure where to find it but thats whats on the receipt lol.
    i was going to go for and external hub but just decided against it, also i live 2hours away from the nearest electronics store so things like that dont come to me easy

    Is that your car? ...just kidding. Putting that into Google just brings up car adds but I didn't dig too deep.

    My only other "thinking out loud" point about the external USB is the Power Source.

    An external hub will have its' own AC adapter. Just makes me wonder if the internal card has enough power.
