No Audio Output Device is Installed

[rubyrubyroo]

In reference to my resolution being worse, one application I use all the time types in a fairly small font. It was still totally sharp before, but now I can hardly read my typing.

That could be a couple things, but might just as easily be the driver.

The only thing under Display is "standard vga graphics adapter" and it claims it is up to date. Will look into the other stuff now.

 

[cruxone]

Double clicking on them and scrolling through the whole dropdown list under details..property, I see no numbers labeled HID PIN VIN or VEN.

 

[cruxone]

Actually I did find ven under the "mass storage controller", but not for the "unknown device"

 

[cruxone]

It's like it isnt in HD when it once was. Looking at the Toshiba Driver list on their site there are 2 nvidia display drivers and an HDMI Control Manager display utility. SHould I download these?

 

[rubyrubyroo]

Okay, almost definately, but first we need to check on quick thing (BTW this is why I wanted to save the windows.old - as it had all your drivers on it)

this should be one of the two unknown devices ,you'll want to restart after the install, if it asks you to or not. (If you ever have trouble starting hold ddown F8 from boot till windows screen turns into a menu, then use safe mode w/networking to get in windows.

I still have windows.old saved on the D drive. Does that help? Installing the driver from #206 now.

 

[rubyrubyroo]

okay..yes

 

[cruxone]

I completed all those steps. Confirmed, 2.0.56

 

[cruxone]

Next step?

SORRY I'VE BEEN THROUGH THREE (3) ROUTERS THIS WEEK!! (used ones- but still !) and this one still boots me off and i have to reboot the system/router/modem, in order, or it won't let me back on...


So yeah, if you finished the Download/Install/Reboot - then go to Device Manager and see if that took care of one of the two "unknowns" !

 

[cruxone]

Indeed! The storage device was taken care of.

 

[rubyrubyroo]

Now maybe a few more ideas about the nameless device (did you have a blueray device that is missing now, or maybe something else (1 of your 2 hard drives?)



BLUETOOTH

 

[cruxone]

I think I am supposed to have blueray though I have never used it. THis fix took care of the storage one. I suppose it could be bluetooth, but I have never used that so I don't know if I ever had it. Most interested in getting the video/display fixed obviously.

 

[cruxone]

I DL'd one of the the nvidia display drivers from Toshiba. I DL'd the more recent of the two. Waiting for your go-ahead to give it a try.

 

[rubyrubyroo]

I know, it's just best to take care of devices/drivers that are haing an obvious issue, because they could conflict with outer drivers/software/hardware. And while the are ways to fix the system if the wrong video driver gets installed, it's best to be careful. I'm going to try to get the majority of the drivers from the windows.old maybe even this one if i knew for sure what was


so when you click on [driver details] under the drivers tab anything listed at all? and any more under the headings like "hardware id" that i already got before? I also don't think you answered if there were 2 drives listed under the heading hard drives?

maybe it's too big, but see if yoou can open all the headings and it might be more obvious.

[cruxone]

I can post system devices too, but that one is really long.
