I have been having a bit of trouble with my display driver stopping for a split second and then recovering right away. This happens about two or three times a day.

While in the device manager, to see what I could find about this problem, I noticed that I have a Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec which seems to be OK. I have a Virtual Audio Device which seems to be OK.

I also have 15 SndTDrivers. All are V32. All have a yellow flag by them. I had 16 with a yellow flag, but I uninstalled one to see what would happen when it was re installed. It never re installed.

My sound seems to be fine. It is it normal to have so many SndTDriversV32? And what about the yellow flags by them?

Thank You

No, the yellow flag isn't normal - nor is having 15 of them.
Do any of them not have the yellow flag? If so, right click on all the one's with the yellow flag and select "Uninstall"

All the SndTDriversV32 have a yellow Flag by them.

I will Google "The Knack wav". Is this something I need?

Hello likekinds,

You should remove all the listed Drivers with the yellow flag beside them and restart the

computer. Then check Device Manager to see what is loaded. If still having problems I

suggest that you remove the Audio Driver and install the latest Driver.

Un-install ALL sound drivers, regardless if flagged or not, then re-boot.

I checked out the link you provided. The only Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec I found had a date of 10-05-06. I must be missing something. Help.

Hi D -

This is your system - and you do need driver updates -

The Dell site for your system shows drivers from 2007 and before. Amazing considering the system < 1 year old.

I can't find update for sigmatel/ IDT codec - I have same codec, but x64 - & hate it.



As for the others -

CHIPSET -
IRQ 16 Intel(R) P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port - 29A1

Let it scan your system.

I can't find 82566 w/ DC - I'll keep looking.

I am having trouble finding the chipset IRQ 16 Intel(R) at the link you provided.

This is what I get: Your search for "IRQ 16 Intel(R) P965/G965 PCI Express Root Port - 29A1" returned 0 results.

Hey likekinds, My opinion would be to gather all these updates to a file on your desktop and install after all is collected.

The link for audio again:
http://support.dell.com/support/down...g=en&TabIndex=
Make sure on this page the boxes are filled out like screenshot.

Newer than what you had. I'd grab it for now.
==========================================================
Scan your video card at the site J.C. suggested-here
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvist...2.50_whql.html

Post back with what its results are. If it shows GeForce Driver Release 182 (whql) April-02-2009 82.6mb then download it. If not post back asap.

nvidia 7300le driver Release 182.50 4-2-2009 Link below:

I suggest you also click the "users guide tab" and click on "Control Panel Users Guide" it's a pdf file and save a copy to your desktop.
=========================================================
For the Intel(R) 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection, I believe it drills down to this.

I am not 100% sure, there is some literature to read there. Anyone second that motion? I 'll get back on that likekinds.

It seems I'm not being taken to the page you want me to visit. Even though I click on the link you provided, I still get a page that has the older driver. I am using Firefox. I noticed you are using IE. I even tried IE to get to the same page as you, but I still get to the one with the older driver. Any suggestions.

There seems to be some very strange things going on. When I went to the site JC recommended to have Nvidia do a scan, I was not offered that option. I did have the option of downloading the driver and I did. It was identical to the one he suggested. Now when I click on the link you supply to have the scan done, I am directed to the page in the screen shot. ????
