Both were running fine then after a reboot windows 7 labelled both as unknown devices. now it claims both drivers cannot be located on my computer but they're on there somewhere. THEY WERE BOTH RUNNING. WHAT's THE PROBLEM WITH WIN 7? IT has the most bugs of any OS yet it's becoming almost unusable wirh freezes and not stopping closed programs. what's worse is this problem occurred on my pC that's not online. NOw what do I do?
Asus P5GDC is the mother board with 2 3.4 GB intel pentium 4 processors it's not a dual core but a server board with 2 CPU. I did a cold boot and the sound came back. The DVD drive is still missing. The odd thing is, the DVD drive went awol after I had inserted a U3 Cruzer flash drive in my USB socket. Now the place holder for the DVD drive says CD Drive (D U3 system, while the flash drive is listed in its correct place at letter I. The drive problem happened about 4 months ago, it took me this long to find a troubleshooting forum that didn't try to sell me a registry cleaner -I hate search engines-. I think the problem may be related to my USB system and the U3 flash drives I've been using -maybe their software usurped my DVD drive. Any Ideas?
The upper and lower filters were absent. when I went to the recommended link the file was for XP SP3. With the differences between xp and Win7 I didn't want to risk it. I did DL the file, if you still think I should run it let me know
