I tried downloading from that website but im not sure why it didnt work..Im not sure i still have the original MOBO cause weve had this system sent back to the repair center several times and I believe they changed it..and my Vcard is integrated on the MOBO, can you help me find out what type of MOBO I have as well cause I see that im also missing the Chipset Driver..

Hi,
If you can attach the FULL Everest Report.
Copy and past the full report to notepad and attach it to your next post using Go Advance option.

But for now:
I believe you have an Intel 946 Chipset from this info Acer E946GZ

Driver here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...ition&lang=eng

From your report you have an Intel Integrated graphics card.
These numbers PCI/AGP 8086-2972: Video Controller (VGA Compatible) tells me it is an Intel® 82946GZ Graphics Controller

Here is the driver:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/filt...5&submit=Go%21
Install the first one on the list.

Let us know if you have any other errors in the Device Manager

Hope this helps,
Bill

PS- I have condensed your Everest report and have attached it to your 1st post.

Hi,
From what I can tell the drivers I posted should work.

the video driver worked!! thanks a lot! I have a question regarding the link you gave me for the chipset though, there were a lot of links there, which one should i choose?? and right now im only missing the driver for the SM Bus Controller, im I right in assuming that I need the chipset driver for that??

Hi,
On this link:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...ition&lang=eng
Scroll down to Multi language: infinst_autol.exe (about half way down) and download the file to your Desktop. Run the exe file.

Thanks,
Bill
