hi, i hope someone can help

i have rebooted Windows and need the drivers for the sound card and the graphics card, unfortunately i don't know what make they are

the PC is an Aries Perfecta 5000 PC System about 6 years old. There is a list of specifications on the inside of the case but it doesn't show sound card or graphics card.

the nearest it seems to get is "ms-6533gl s478 p4 ddr atx motherboard & sound" but the label is too narrow...

this is coming up in System Information



Any help will be gratefully received

thanks

Download, install, and run Everest Home Edition on this machine. (Clean FreeWare) Once it's finished loading and running, look under Computer, Summary, Display, or under Display, PCI/AGP Video. This will tell you what display adapter/chip you have. Post that information. (Video Adapter and 3D Accelerator.)

For the sound device, look under Multimedia, or, under Multimedia, PCI / PnP Audio. This will tell you what sound devices you have available on your system. Post that information.

Also look under MOTHERBOARD and post what is listed for your Motherboard (make/model) and the Chipset description.

Hi, thanks

the video adaptor and 3d accelerator are both SiS 315 Integrated

the audio is SiS 7012 Audio Device PCI

i wasn't 100% on the motherboard and chipset so i got these captures

I found nothing for the MS-6533EG mainboard version, but here are the MS-6533XG SiS651 drivers;

The System Drivers are the Chipset. Load those first, then the display, then the sound.

Post back with your results and any further questions.

hi Dan, i downloaded SiS® 650/650GL/651/661FX/740/761GX/67x System Drivers and chose Windows 9X/Me/2000/XP.

when the zip file opens it shows a lot of files and i am not sure what to do next. there is one called setup.exe but it says 'cannot install: SETUP or INSTALL program filename contains folder information. Use actions/checkout instead'

was that the right one to go for? there are two downloads for 651 drivers, and two options for windows xp :s

thanks

Did you extract all files into an empty directory, or did you try to run SETUP.EXE from withing the zipped file?

Hi dan, i have now extracted the files to an empty folder. there i chose setup and it culminated in asking me to restart, so i assume it worked. next i tried the VGA, however this came up with



in a subfolder called AGPPack there is another setup which i chose. it said to restart. i can now run Flash but cannot change the resolution on the monitor

the audio seems to have worked though - i now have sound

thanks Dan

Here's a display driver from the chip manufacturer;

Alternative download;

As before, extract all the files from the zip package into an empty directory. (I have an INSTALL folder which I keep empty on C:.) You will get a new directory within. (315_351a) Click into that new directory and run SETUP.EXE.

When the install has completed you can delete all the dirs and files from your originally "empty" directory, cleaning it up for a new use if required.

hi, i have done this. when loading setup.exe it says it cannot find suitable driver and closes. have you any idea why?

thanks
James
