mjh8227 · May 28, 2003, 03:32 AM

I believe if you run the installation executable again there is an option to uninstall.

Falstaff · May 28, 2003, 03:35 AM

but the hyperion drivers are more than just one thing it is four, what were you trying to accomplish?

Blower · May 28, 2003, 07:21 AM

I was trying to install driver for my ethernet card which is a VIA Rhine II fast ethernet card,i couldnt double click it to uninstall it,as it wouldnt do it.
I have done what i said above but is that enough?oh dear i think i knackered up mi pc again,

fornicatarachnid · May 28, 2003, 09:23 PM

Try doing a Repair Installation of XP, that might solve your problems.

Good Luck ! And keep us posted

Blower · May 29, 2003, 10:50 AM

It says from XP cd which i aint got to do system repair.I got a floppy with it ,will it do it with that? and will i have to put my old graphics card back in as i upgraded it?? ermmm????? lol questions questions

shuki · May 29, 2003, 12:16 PM

well probably messed up with that "regedit" command....

But at this point, just try and find the latest correct driver for your nic card and install them. then see how it goes.

Blower · May 29, 2003, 01:27 PM

Ok m8 cheers for reply.
I just looked in device manager under network adapters, there is VIA Rhine II fast ethernet adapter and nowt there about nic card ??????should there be as ive no idea?

shuki · May 29, 2003, 01:37 PM

ethernet card = nic card so that is what you are looking for. are you running linux? or which version of windows are you using?

edit - in fact what mobo are you using too?

Blower · May 29, 2003, 03:14 PM

I am using XP home
mobo is that motherboard if it is then its a Galaxy 4,43 cheers for help

Blower · May 29, 2003, 07:10 PM

How do i look up my motherboards full name (spec)as i contacted who i got my pc off and they didnt know either?? My pc is a Packard Bell iextreme 9087, with AMD athalon xp 3000+,came with a GF4 MX 440,512 ddr ram, 60 GB HD,
and it just says galaxy motherboard

dont think the above motherboard model number is right in last post
Been on Packard Bell website it isnt clear enough

Plus Still same problems as above just an extra 1 to throw in aswell lol.
getting fed up aswell now.pls help.....

shuki · May 29, 2003, 07:19 PM

yeah I went to google.com and tried to find both your proper mobo drivers and your proper nic card drivers and found neither... First we need to find out if it is even a VIA mobo (which I think it is but really should verify) or not. And if not, what chipset it actually is and isntall proper mobo drivers for it. Next we need to install your nic card drivers for winXP. I found some linux drivers but no winXP drivers for that particular nic card

problems just like these are the exact reason I decided to never buy a pre-built pc again! I built my first pc about 2 years ago now and will never go back. I know exactly what every piece of my pc is because I hand picked it and put it in! no more searching around trying to find out even what I really have!! Hopefully, someone with more experience than I can jump in and find the proper mobo drivers (chipset even) and nic drivers...

I wouldn't worry about uninstalling anything lets just try and find the proper ones and install them.

Blower · May 29, 2003, 07:29 PM

Thank you for the help m8 i need it lol.
hopefully we can sort it or someone else need to get people on here.
I vowed i will never buy a built one after this, as ive learnt my lesson just need to learn a lot more hehe.
help help help

shuki · May 29, 2003, 07:33 PM

can you put a call in to Packard Bell Europe?? and beg them for the proper mobo drivers and nic cad drivers? my packard bell several years ago came with a CD with some drivers on it... you mentioned you had a floppy disc but do you have any CD's too?? if so, what is on those?

Blower · May 29, 2003, 08:53 PM

Hmmm ill have a look most of it is software tho

Blower · May 29, 2003, 09:02 PM

Ok i got 3 cd,s plus floppy,
Britanica 2002 data discs 1+2
Britanica installation disc 2002 thats it plus a Packard Bell software disc

shuki · May 29, 2003, 09:23 PM

well if you had the right drivers they would be on that packard bell software disc. though I would still try packard bell support. That or just use your recovery disc (floppy probably) and wipe it all clean and start fresh. This will restore your pc just like it was when you bought it. Just back up all data you want to keep if you decide to go that route. Or wait it out here and see if anyone else can help. I personally have never heard of either your mobo or your nic card

sorry m8

~~craig588~~ · May 29, 2003, 09:26 PM

I had a galaxy motherboard before, I was based on a via chipset. I believe the company has gone out of buisiness though.

Blower · May 30, 2003, 11:15 AM

Damn!
Problems problems,dunno what to do,i did a reformat to factory settings couple of weeks a go it did nt change anything and my pings were still high.Gonna give Packard Bell a ring.

Blower · May 30, 2003, 12:13 PM

I found driver for my ethernet card it is VT6102 model, driver off the VIA website dont know how to properly install it,i downloaded it to C Windows which it says to install it to, cant install it tho???
Its a zip folder which i can look in i click on Win setup to a file click on that and it says it cant find file ????

p.s rang support line off Packard Bell website and they can find details of motherboard what next ??Sledge hammer pls.

shuki · May 30, 2003, 01:41 PM

give me a link to where you downloaded your nic driver please. I'll check it out and see if I can help... though really, if you did a system restore then that returned it to just like you got it from the store. No foriegn drivers or anything so I would say if you still have high pings and stuff it is not a problem within your pc... maybe your ISP and the problem just happened to coincide with your fooling around before...?? When were your pings better? and what is the ping now vs. what it used to be?

Blower · May 30, 2003, 04:08 PM

http://www.via.co.tw
click on technical support ,then click on drivers ,then lan ethernet networking,u should come up with a list of downloads mine is the vt6102 ethernet adapter,+ there is a patch at the top of the page aswell.

Just typed in Galaxy motherboard v4.43 in Google and it came up with some drivers for Galaxy motherboards hmmm? which are on the VIA webbie hmmm?

my pings were ok when i 1st got my pc between 10 and 35
Now my pings r on a daytime 80 to 250 and at night 250 to 999 changing all the time

Blower · May 30, 2003, 04:13 PM

http://www.via.com.tw

plus i typed it in as this in google,, galaxy motherboard v 4.43

shuki · May 30, 2003, 06:49 PM

OK, on that motherboard in the google search, all of those v4.43 deals are the VIA driver version NOT the mobo version! Chances are, since that company went out of business you have no use with the 4.43 drivers or any of their hyperion (or whatever they're called release). If you install any, I recommend the v1.38 VIA 4in1's. BUT! if you did a factory restore, then there is absolutely no need to mess with 4in1's or any other drivers!!

and you found the right place in that zip file it appears. Though it may not run with the file still zipped. If I were you, I would unzip that entire file to a folder and then go to ->winsetup->w2kxp->w2ksetup.exe Try that. if that does not work, unzip it all to a floppy and insert floppy. then go through device mgr and try and update driver using the have disk feature and point it to the A: drive.

Good luck man but again, since you did a factory restore, I am leaning that your ping troubles are not related to your nic drivers or 4in1's at all... If this doesn't work you may be able to tweak your winXP some but if it worked fine before from factory is should still work fine from factory now!!! that is what points me to ISP troubles not any drivers....

Blower · May 31, 2003, 09:02 AM

Cheers Shuki for help,
posted on packard bell forum my mainboard is an MSI 6596 v2.0
how du u unzip it i dunno lol,i aint got winzip,erm,i pressed extract all and put in c windows gone to win2kxp cant find file win2kxpsetup exe, ???
When i did a factory restore before it didnt work and was still bad online,
i have done the xp tweaks aswell still no sucsess,grrrrr.
Might do another factory restore later and start again and hassel NTL.

Blower · May 31, 2003, 11:35 AM

Right im gonna put it back to factory settings STEP BY STEP the best way??????
I upgraded to a 9500 pro so i turn it off
,take out the 9500 pro
, put back in the GF4MX440
,insert floppy then boot up correct???so far ??
if so then install my NTL World package software for Broadband?
download driver cleaner,??
uninstall nvidia drivers,?thru ADD remove
run driver cleaner,and should i run driver cleaner in safe mode as have read u should?
down load ATI 3.4driver and control panel
turn off pc
fit my new 9500 pro,
install driver 3.4 reboot
install control panel reboot,
Is that ok or is there anything else or summat wrong ?????????????????
any help pls cheers

shuki · May 31, 2003, 02:27 PM

yeah, put back all hardware just like it was from the factory! Then you should have a recovery floppy and/or CD! You should boot from that recovery disk and it should give you a warning about losing all data on drive. Proceed to let it format and reinstall all as it was from the factory.

I would not install ANY software from your broadband ISP.

and your driver bit on the graphics cards looks great! and yes, I woud run DC from safe mode as it certainly will not hurt anything!
