    Driver genius may not be as fast but, it finds more drivers.....
    Free is not always best. Anyway dweb had a cracked version of DG.. might as well get some good out of it before they ZAP it.. lmao

    I went ahead and installed driver genius and got my sound back . A lot of stuff was outdated and cost me $29.99 but everything's running ok so far . I'd like to give a big thanks to everyone , especially 2 old geek who stuck with me .

    I'm sorry to hear this about your wife and is everything ok ? I absolutely agree family is a number one priority . Without my family I'd be a bum out in the street . I think everything is fine with my pc now except it running a little slow . This July it'll be 7 years Iv'e had it and told as a computer ages it's going to need new parts just like a used car .

    First thing I would do is get some more RAM.. 500MB is really not enough, you need at least 1GB and be sure to keep the drive well defragged..
