I put my part of my one computer into a new case so I could make room for a new computer but I have a little problem now. All I did was to take all my parts out of my one case which I will be putting new parts in and put them into my new case and in my device manager now I have an exclamation mark in other devices and it says pci device. I did not put any new parts in I just had to take them out to move the mobod etc. The only thing I have in a pci slot is an audigy 2 zs gamer which has not caused me any problems before. It works great and everything seems to be fine. I have xp pro with an amd 4400+ along with and ati 2600xt.
Anyone seen this before?

Register or log in to remove.

I'd check to make sure all your connections are secure. Could also try clearing the CMOS

I have reseated and moved to another pci slot. The card is functioning fine. Sound and things work great. I have never had to reset the cmos. What do you do?

Possibly a onboard device that is now enabled in the BIOS that was previously disabled?

Reply to cfvh600

That's what I thought also so I checked and it was disabled.

Delete it and see if you can determine what it trys to reload if anything.

Instrucitions will be in the mobo manual. Usually just involves moving a small plastic cap over one pin, first unplug the computer, wait a minute and move the cap back to the original pins. The pins and cap are near the battery on the mobo

Ok, followed the instructions on how to clear the cmos. Now, it just wants to boot from cd and says boot disk failure. I don't have cd set first for boot. What do I do now?

Reply to ingeborgdot

Now you have to find out what key to press during the POST to get to the BOOT sequence menu in BIOS.

Or, just enter the BIOS and select or move "Boot from Hard Disc" to the number 1 position.

If your winxp is on a sata drive, you might have to enable the sata controller in the bios.

Set the boot order in the Bios. Choose to boot from the hard drive.

I have tried hard drive first, and then removeable disk and then cd and tried and tried.

Reply to ingeborgdot

Make sure the BIOS is set up to recognize the drive be it ATA or SATA. Try running the hdd mfg diagnostic/repair software from a floppy, can get it from the hdd mfg website. Clearing the CMOS should not affect hdd recognition unless it's an older board that the default settings are not set up to recognize a SATA drive and your drive is SATA

I got it to go. I had to go into bios and set which hard drive to boot off of. I have never had that happen before. Anyway the clear cmos did not work. The mark is still there. AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Simple steps:

 

1.) Download the latest Sound driver for your card
2.) Uninstall from Add/Remove, or if there is a shortcut to uninstall the sound driver (whats currently installed)
3.) Reboot (should ask to reboot)
4.) Ignore Windows trying to install the driver, and run what you downloaded.
5.) Reboot and check device manager.

 

Edit:

 

Sometimes when you run the new install for audio drivers, and it see's the current driver installed, it may ask if you want it removed.

 

If there isn't an uninstall, then you can remove the driver from the device manager as zorg suggested.

The disc boot thing............... first thing would have been to check the connections.

The sound card. go into the device manager and see if it will un-install. Either way, remove it and plug the speakers into the onboard sound. Restart. Sound should work.

Try and reinstall the card and drivers.................. make sure in the bios it's set to auto. ...... or disabled if that's the only option you have.......... ( onboard sound before you install the card )

You may also want to try an older driver.

It may be the nforce sata raid driver try updateing the driver and pointing it to C:\NVIDIA\nForceWinXP\9.53\IDE\WinXP\sataraid
replace 9.53 with your nforce driver ver.

Did you delete it? If you delete it, then it might not come back. If the error in the device manager isn't causing you any problems, then you could just leave it. You could try updating your mobo drivers, although it's doubtful that will help.
