Missing Drivers, Unknown Device, and Other Devices

-
Sounds familiar? Yes, as a computer user we are very familiar with these words.

A missing driver can cause a lot of headaches for us computer technicians. Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do if you find yourself in this situation. First, you can easily search Google for the missing drivers, or you can visit the manufacturer’s website and search there.

But what if you can’t find an appropriate driver for your hardware because of being obsolete or the device manager can’t tell what is the offending hardware? You can easily make your own Windows XP CD and integrate driverpacks and latest updates from Microsoft. You can find that it will help you a lot in the future especially if you are on the road and your client doesn’t have an internet connection or on dial up (it will take a lot of your precious time if you use it for downloading large files.)

Sounds easy to make? You bet.

Here is what you need:

1. Windows XP installer, preferably with integrated SP2. (you can download SP2 here or here if your installer doesn’t come with it)
2. RyanVM’s Post SP2 update pack
3. Nlite
4. Driverpacks
5. driverpack base

If you don't know how to use the above softwares, i suggest you read their tutorials or step by step instructions. You just need a "little" time and patience if you can't get it right the first time.

You should start working on your customized cd with these steps:

1. Slipstream SP2 update to your WindowsXP CD using Nlite (if you already have WinXp with SP2, just go to number 2)
2. Apply ryanvm update. You can use Nlite or RyanVM's own Integrator
3. Integrate driverpacks using driverpack base
4. When it is all done, you can make a bootable ISO using Nlite.


Any suggestion, question or violent reaction? Feel free to leave a comment.

Taken from: atmaxplorer.com I’ve been receiving tons of questions on how to check if their PSP can have custom firmware installed. Here’s a complete and concise guide to get you going. Make sure to read through the guide fully since it will answer all your psp motherboard related questions. First of, you need to understand that there are three types of PSPs: 1) 1000 Series (Also known as PSP Phat/Fat) 2) 2000 Series (Also known as PSP Slim or Lite & Slim) 3) 3000 Series (Also known as PSP Brite) So why install Custom Firmware on a PSP? People install Custom Firmware so they can run Homebrew, programs developed by people that don’t have a contract with Sony. A PSP with Custom Firmware could also back up your games from the UMD to your computer; it also allows you to play those backups from your Memory Stick (MS). You could also do some serious customizations to your theme. Basically, you free your PSP from the hands of Sony. Why can’t I install Custom Firmware on my

Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged (code 19)- CD ROM Device Manager Error One of my client brought in a Dell Latitude laptop that has a problem with its CD ROM. According to the owner he can't access his CD. The model of his CD Rom is Samsung CD ROM SN-124. Upon inspection, I found out that the device (CD ROM drive) is missing from his My Computer (as you can see on the image below) At first, I thought that the problem lies with the connection of the CDROM because I had it disassembled a week before due to display problem. The CD Rom is snap in type, so I easily took it out and back in without hassle. Upon logging in to windows, the problem still persist. Next, I checked the Device Manager (right-click My Computer, choose Properties, then Hardware and click on Device Manager). As you can see on the picture below, there is a problem with the CD ROM because there is a yellow exclamation mark befor
