Wow this sucks. All the other releases I've tried out have had no problems at all, yet this one cant find drivers for my:

Ethernet Card
Soundcard

and a bunch of other things. So I'm stuck with no internet access so I cant even try and find drivers online.....WTF!!

Anyone have any idea what I can do? What happened to the built in driver that had worked for my ethernet card all this time?


I am beyond pissed off.

Any help appreciated.

Firstly the new builds have great compability wizards. Try the XP versions of your driver on it running in XP compability mode and then if it still fails a new wizard should appear.

If you mean my CD, I dont have it....this card is very old. And my soundcard is a soundblaster...I'll see if I find my CD for it.

Thanks for the fast reply.

O.K I got my ethernat card working by chosing the driver manually...I did an edicated guess and it worked

I downloaded the live! drivers and am installing them as I type this. I hope it works!


Thanks.

If you have an Audigy card, Creative does have them on their site. and they do work

[hi2u]

Yup I got everything to work now.

Is it just me or did they disable priority switching in processes tab in the task manager? It says access denied whenever I try and change priority.

yeah, your user doesnt have permission. You need the default admin account for that i think

[hi2u]

Well...when I installed it asked me what account name I wanted to I figured this was the highest admin level?

[Neon]

not as high as the root Administrator account. Boot in safe mode and see

[hi2u]

Is there a way to make my normal account like that?

[Neon]

i think from safemode you could edit your account yeah. Right click my computer, manage and then users
