Printer Drivers

RevKev asked:


Before you give the gut reaction, the driver for the sound card, let me explain that I know this. I have two used desktops and one used laptop I’ve repaired, exchanging some parts. The desktops are 98 and the laptop is ME. I’ve identified the sound card, downloaded the appropriate driver and istalled it. The problem? While the computers think everything is OK, all 3 do not produce sound. If it were one, I’d call it a bad sound card, but not all three. When I look on my XP computer, there is a whole bunch of items in addition to the sound card driver listed under sound devices in the device manager. Are there other software drivers that need to be installed in addition to the actual sound card driver?
I appreciate your answers so far, but they aren’t getting it. VOlume control will not open, but it shows the device working properly in device manager. I found out what sound card I had by taking it out an looking at it. The sound worked before I had to switch harddrives out. The restore CDs won’t work because of the changed parts I’m assuming. Any other suggestions?

We got a new wireless printer a few weeks ago and it works fine on the computer it is connected to. However, I have a laptop that completely crashes whenever I open Microsoft Office and more importantly Photoshop CS3. I don’t know how to uninstall it so I can try again. Can anyone tell me how I would go about uninstalling it?

The printer is an HP, so the driver is naturally unnecessarily complex. I really have no idea on how to uninstall it. Thank you!

When trying to install printer driver using the CD for Vista that came with my new All-in-One printer, it stops installing part way through and says “HP Installer Option Plug-In has stopped working” and that the extended attributes are inconsistent. I have disabled anti-virus and also tried downloading directly from HP site, but nothing I do seems to work.

I new to my state and just received a new drivers license, turning in my old one. I am going to get insurance in my new state and would like to receive a good driver discount. I do not know my old drivers license numbers…I have lived in 3 states over 5 years. Will they be able to see my full driving record with my new license number or do I need to request an abstract from the prior two states?

I recently purchased a toshiba A135-S4407. This pc has vista already installed and i am going to install xp, but i know that i need the drivers before i install the old os. The toshiba site only has drivers for vista and not for xp. I need help to find these drivers, i have tried finding them individually to no avail. Thanks in advance for any advice/help.
