HELP!!
i just rebooted my computer and installed windows xp, like the most posts i've read, i am also having an yellow question mark next to the multimedia audio controller and video controller (VGA compatible)
My Device instance id is PCI\VEN_1039&DEV_7012&SUBSYS_53321462&REV_A0\3&61AAA01&0&17

is there anything else you guys need to determine the manufacturer? what should i do??

thanks in advance!!Greatly appreciated


You should have received a CD with drivers. That or go to the manufacturer and see if they have drivers for these parts. At least you know they are the sound card and video card. Most people don't even know what cards are missing drivers.

XP does not support all hardware. Its the responsibility of the hardware maker to do that. If the hardware is part of the board, then MSI is the board maker and they may have them. If the sound or video are plug in cards then you're on your own, but the same thing applies, you have to get device drivers installed.
