need chipset/usb drivers for Gateway eMachine T6524 (100% cpu usage) [moved from XP] - Page 4

I have a question about this. When I tried to install sp3 it said I needed sp1 or sp2 before I could install sp3 so if I add this slipstreamed sp3 onto my boot disk would it still work? Is there a slipstreamed sp2?

1. Remove all the PCI cards (video and USB) that weren't with the computer when you bought it
2. Enter the BIOS and reload the default settings to make sure nothing's wrong there. Check the USB settings and report their value (should be enabled, hi-speed, enhanced or USB 2.0, any other value could limit them to USB 1.1)
3. Install XP SP3 (slipstream SP3 on your XP Pro CD)
4. Once within Windows enable XP's integrated firewall before you connect the internet cable then follow these instructions to make an image of the system with DriveImage before you install any drivers : How to Backup your boot hard drive.

Now if/when things go awry all you'll need to do is reload the previous system image using DriveImage and the Bart PE CD (takes 10 minutes) instead of reinstalling from scratch.

What service pack is included on your XP Pro CD ? Unless it's really old it probably already has SP1 or SP2. Follow these instructions : http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase...slipstream.asp
Despite what they say it should work with an XP SP1 CD. If there's no service pack at all on your CD then download SP2, and slipstream it first (follow steps 2 and 3, just replace the file names accordingly). Then restart at step 2 with SP3. Make sure you use nero as instructed to burn the final CD or it won't be bootable.

Bout ready to throw in the towel......

The wife is aggravated cause it ain't fixed.....

I need to move on to my next project.....

You guys are probably tired of trying to help me....

I can't seem to make the cd work that has sp2 integrated on it. It hangs at 34 minutes left so I'll just load regular xp pro and add sp2 from my cd.

Here's my next question: Is there any way to make my 1.1 usb pci stick work as a 2.0? and/or where's the cheapest place I could buy a 2.0 stick with 4 ports on it?

Check that. Found one on stinkbay. Think this would work for my pc? It's only $8

If it were me that is what I would try next.
I have a feeling the USB Controllers are shorted out on the Motherboard.

Agreed.

Keep in mind that additional pci cards will require more power. If you plan to keep using your dedicated video card take the chance to upgrade your power supply. Any 500W+ model listed here will do : Power Supply Information and Selection

Once again, thanks for all your help. I only bought the nvidia cause I was going to play some games but I've since bought a PS3 to play my games. :) So I'll probably just leave it out. Know anyone that wants to buy a used nvidia 6600 card?

Thanks again!
