Help i need drivers!!!!! =O?

When some things went wrong one time i thought i should download driver updates,





And i came across this software called Driver Detective, And it gave me a small list of what Drivers Need updating but to download them Via Driver Detective, it costs money......





One of my main concerns it the driver for my Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440, And on the site i can't seem to find the driver,





If possible could you link me to a download where i can get that driver please and if possible these too:


SIS PCI IDE Controller


Sigmatel C-Major Audio


SIS accelerated graphics port





That's all thanks =D

Okay, usually you can just go to the manufacturer's website to check if they have the driver for your device.





Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 (click on the type of device and start searching):

SIS PCI IDE Controller and SIS accelerated graphics port, follow the step by step (you have to agree to their T%26amp;C first):


http://www.sis.com/download/





Sigmatel C-Major Audio:

or if that doesn't work, choose from the following:

Here's your video driver.





I did a simple google search and found it, you could do the same for the rest of your drivers or head to http://www.driversguide.com which is the biggest archive for drivers and locate all the drivers you need.

Reply:you should NEVER have to pay for new drivers ... EVER!


you already bought the hardware, new drivers are the company's way of keeping your hardware up to date

if it isnt on the company website, it probably isnt real

also,


NEVER pay for drivers


How do I get my computer to notice a new installed hardrive?

I bought a new hardrive, this is my set up.





2 IDE ports


primary


C: = XP


F: =slave





secondary


DVD


*new hardrive*





the startup recognizes it, but windows doesn't... am I missing something?

How do I get my computer to notice a new installed hardrive?
make sure your jumper settings on the drive are set correctly





go into your bios setup at boot up time and make sure that the HD is showing


to get into bios you hit the key that it says to hit in order to get into setup, tap it once a second or hair faster than that til it goes into setup





usually its F1 that gets you into Bios





but on some bios versions it is the tab key





if those two are good then go to control panel and device manager and make sure the Hd shows up in the list of hardware and that theres no exclamation mark or anything like that next to it





if so then theres a problem, also if it doesnt show up in the hardware list at all





checking jumper setting is the first thing to check though,








if it was my system i would put the new HD on the primary IDE cable and set the jumper to slave setting





and go into Bios setup and set it to boot first if it has your OS on it and if not then make it second or third or fourth boot

Reply:If there are drivers for them. They need to be installed. Also they need to be formatted to a filing system. I recommend FAT32, but its preference.
Reply:i suggest that you use the cd that the hardrive came with
Reply:Go to control panel, computer administration, disk management.





You should see your new hard drive on the lower right hand side. It is most probably not formatted/initialized.





Right click over the drive and select format/import etc. You will want to partition the drive also.
Reply:When you say that Windows doesn't recognize it, have you tried through the Disk Management tool? Go to Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management and select Disk Management. It may start a wizard or just show the drive as unformatted space that you can format.
Reply:maybe it is a plug and play device..if it is, windows will automatically install it to your computer.
Reply:You might try add new hardware in the control panel





check you cables


First of all I am no good at chemistry. The names of the compounds FeS, NaCl, NaOH, and Pb(CN)2 all end in the

A. -ide.


B. -ite.


C. -ic.


D. -ate.

First of all I am no good at chemistry. The names of the compounds FeS, NaCl, NaOH, and Pb(CN)2 all end in the
Iron (II) SulfIDE





Sodium ChlorIDE





Sodium HydroxIDE





and Lead...umm...something. *lol*





The answer is evidently (A). =D











PS okay, so yea, someone already wrote what i wrote when i was typing it. sorry!
Reply:-ide... im not sure about all of them but i know NaCl is SodiumCloride
Reply:A. -ide. As in Sodium Chloride and Sodium Hydroxide.
Reply:FeS = iron(II) sulfide


NaCl = sodium chloride


NaOH = sodium hydroxide


Pb(CN)2) = lead(II) cyanide
Reply:a
Reply:A.
Reply:Usually anything with oxygen in it or that oxidizes ends with -ide, the PB(CN)2 I'm not sure about because usually they end in -ate, but since this is a multiple choice question with only one answer I would pick A.
Reply:-ide





iron sulphide


sodium chloride


sodium hydroxide


lead cyanide





haha beat you mr wonderful :P
Reply:a ide (for example NaCL is sodium cloride " see the ide")


What are the hottest, most sought after programming paradigms out there?

Java, Python, what?





Scripts, IDE's,....COBRA?





C++ and C still alive?








What about assembly language, completely dead?





What are the new ones you need to know? (Java old already?)

What are the hottest, most sought after programming paradigms out there?
Paradigm %26lt;shudder%26gt; - sorry I hate that word in a business context. It smacks of a clueless manager who found a word to use rather than "thingie". Sorry, no disrespect intended toward your good self, it really is the general use of the word that gets me as an engineer.





Nothing, **absolutely nothing** is more important in programming that good programming skills. Debugging skills, knowledge of algorithms, ability to write understandable documentation, knowledge of computer architecture, the ability to cogitate on a problem for a day and a half, and solve it by producing 100 lines of code that works on the first try.





Note at no point did I mention a language or a design methodology. A poorly thought through algorithm implemented using the best language or design methodology will still be a bad algorithm.





There is far too much emphasis put on languages, and not enough on fundamentals. I can, and do pick up a new language in a couple of weeks. My tool set as a programmer is still growing after 30 years - that is something that you don't pick up in a couple of weeks.
Reply:Hmm! I think current trend is java and .net platforms. Each has it own strentgs and weekneses.





Actualy c++ and c are still nt dead. They still widly used by various companies in the world.





CORBA is a kind of technology right ? U can use it for RMI (Remote methos invocation).
Reply:what's your question? are you looking for paradigms or languages?





all of these languages have their valid use; some are only used for niches, though (i.e. C++). Here at work we even use assembly language.





also keep in mind that many systems (i.e. embedded systems, micro controllers) only support a few languages - i.e. C or Java.





Concerning paradigms - i don't think there are new ones. OOP (object oriented programming) is already quite old but still popular. Others like aspect oriented programming didn't become that popular.
Reply:When you talk about languages, C++ and C are still commonly used, with Java also near the top.





If you're talking about paradigms, OOP (object oriented programming) is certainly at the forefront. Instead of procedural programming i.e. executing line after line until you get to the end of a program, you create objects containing code. An object could be a car or a person or any noun, really. Object Oriented Programming was probably inspired by game programmers who needed a better way to describe objects in their game (e.g. weapons, rooms, levels etc) - but I don't know really.





With web development, MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a very popular paradigm - it is even encouraged by Sun Microsystems for developing in JSP. The idea of MVC is that you separate logic from presentation, which is a big issue in web development.





It's important to know the most commonly used languages, but it's by far more important to know the underlying concepts of programming and application design.
Reply:Java is not that old.


if you think about it C++ derives from C.


and since java derives from c++, I'd say that C is dead, c++ is pretty old but there is still someone out there using it


java's hot, just think of cell phones in general, or other devices

Installing WinXP on Compact Flash?

I have a SanDisk Extreme IV 4 gig Compact Flash. I think it's IDE compatibale. I used a CD-ROM drive and connected my CF card. The WinXP installer seems to see it fine and installs some of the files just fine. However, at re-boot to start the 2nd phase of the install process it goes back to the original step and wants to install the preliminary files again. I hit OK and tells me an OS is already installed. What's up?? The CF card is big enough to hold the WinXP. The bios is setup to as IDE-0 Master C:.

Installing WinXP on Compact Flash?
CF card connected via USB? You need to set BIOS to boot from USB in that case.





If it is connected via and IDE adapter you will need to get the F6 (windows installation) driver for that IDE adapter and during the first step of installation watch the bottom of the screen for the F6 prompt.


Which speed is my game running at ? Help please..?

so I have an old school IDE drive as C drive, where my OS is installed within. and I just added a new SATA as D drive, where my game will be installed within.





now, if I run the game from D drive, which's a SATA drive, will it get the speed advantage from being in a SATA drive? or it will be still running on the old IDE speed simply because my OS is running in the background in a IDE drive.





thank you !!

Which speed is my game running at ? Help please..?
The game speed doesn't rely on the hard drive, although loading will be faster. The speed the game runs at will depend entirely on your CPU's frequency (speed), amount of RAM installed, video GPU frequency and the amount and frequency of RAM on your graphics card.





The OS won't slow the drive a bit.
Reply:you will get a mix





the os will run from IDE, and when the game needs to access disk it will run from the SATA.





but - the drive is unlikely to the the determining factor of the speed of your game. Your CPU speed, memory and graphics card speed will be the biggest factors. most games are setup to use disk when they load between sections, not continuously. One exception is that the game may need more memory than you have. then it will use disk as 'swap space' . is as a type of virtual drive that expands the memory. this will have defaulted to the ide drive - so will run more slowly. this should be a small effect unless you are really starved of RAM.





right click on my computer and go to properties, advanced, performance, advanced, virtual memory to change the location


The names of the compounds FeS, NaCI, NaOH, and Pb(Cn)2 all end in the suffix?

a: -ide


B: -ite


C: -ic


D: -ate





2: Examine the following unbalanced chemical equation: CO2+C ---%26gt;CO. Which of the following is the correctly balanced form of this equation?





A: 2CO2+C---%26gt; CO


B: CO2 +C--%26gt; 2CO


C: CO2 + C2 --%26gt;CO


D: CO2+C--%26gt; C2O

The names of the compounds FeS, NaCI, NaOH, and Pb(Cn)2 all end in the suffix?
1. A


2. B
Reply:1)a iron sulfide, sodium chloride, sodium hydroxide, not sure on the last one





2)b Start by looking at the number of carbons... 2 on the left, one on the right, so add the coefficient 2 on the right:


CO2+C ---%26gt; 2CO





Then look at the number of oxygen atoms, 2 on both sides, so that's it.
Reply:all of them end in ide


sodium chloride.. table salt


sodium hydroxide .. I would have to think of the other 2.. but if 2 out of 4 are.. I would def. go with choice aA
Reply:A - ide


2 - 2C0
Reply:1. A


FeS- ferrous sulphide


NaCl-sodium chloride


NaOH-sodium hydroxide


Pb(Cn)2- lead cyanide {not so sure}
