EEK!! I've gotten nowhere with which ATI Raedon driver I need to update for windows me, nor for the soundblaster live! driver. I've gone to their websites and they are NOT HELPFUL. I need specific files. I have this info from my DxDiag:

Ok..so who can point me to the exact win me compatible, most current drivers for both? HELP! IM SO FRUSTRATED!

Stacy

Hi Stacy, here is a link to the Radeon SDR Driver. http://driverscollection.com/?file_id=5251

Here is the one for the Sound Blaster. http://www.opendrivers.com/driver/211149/creative-sound-blaster-live!-series-soundcard-kx-driver-full-5.10.0.3536-for-win98se-me-2000-xp-free-download.html

Thank you so much. Where should I put them after downloaded? Which file I mean...in the system file? Sorry Im such a dork about all this. Thanks for lookin at my dxdiag and helpin me figure an EXACT match...:-)

Stacy

Your most welcome for the help. Just do a search for where each driver is located and then put the new ones in those folders. Don't forget to delete the bad drivers before you add the new ones. If that fails to work then write back and we can take it from there.

I did the search and was able to find that they are in the system file...no problem. HOwever, I notice that the main file has sub files within. Shall I delete the main file? Will that cause my computer any harm, trying to install another? Do I run an "Update Driver" ... sorry this is new for me.

Hi Stacy, no problem. Just delete the driver itself don't delete the files or folders. You can also give that update driver a try and see if that does the trick. Good luck.

One thing I forgot to mention earlier Stacy. If you do the Update driver it will ask you where to look for the driver and you can point it to look at those 2 files you downloaded earlier.

Thanks so much...will go ahead and give it a try today. Wish me luck! (tremble..shake)

Oh..forgot to ask...I noticed my version was 5.12 and this one is 5.10. Does this make a difference? Just curious. Sorry for such stupid questions..

Yes... (Sigh)..its me again. Well, I tried to delete the drivers like you said, but it wouldnt let me do it. It said that it was in use. I have no idea what to do now. EEK!

No need to be sorry for asking questions, it's the only way to learn. In most cases there isn't a huge difference in model numbers.
I was hoping that that would do the trick. I'm running out of ideas over here.
I'm hoping that one of the other guys will read the thread and have an idea or two that will work.
I will keep thinking of something that hopefully work.
Sorry it isn't working so far.

I sure appreciate your help. The two driver downloads I have, both have a self-extracting "set-up". Since the computer won't let me delete the old drivers, can I just run the set ups without hurting anything? I didn't want to do it until I asked first. :-)

Stacy

You can run those self-extractors without hurting your comp. I'm just hoping that this will do the trick or I will have to get one of the other guys in here to take over. I am beginning to run out of ideas.

Stacy check your messages. I sent you something. Just go up to my stuff and you will see the menu listing messages.
