The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Realtek AC'97 Audio driver won't install properly on EMachine T2862 running XP (quick flash of blue screen and restarts)

Asked by MarkusRuckus in Computer Sound Cards, Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags:

I had to format and reinstall XP (all updates ran and SP2 installed) on this T2862 that is supposedly "designed for windows XP" (HA!) I had a little problem finding all the drivers but it seems that http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Filter_Results.aspx?strTypes=all&ProductID=1065&OSFullName=Windows*+XP+Home+Edition&lang=eng&strOSs=45&submit=Go%21 had all of them, if that is the correct board that I deducted from my research. Anyway, everything went well and all drivers installed fine, except for this stubborn Realtek AC'97 audio drivers. I have even gone to realteks site and found a codec pack, but to no avail... When I run the drivers from the intel site, it warns me that it is not passed windows compatibility testing (I'm paraphrasing) but I continue and it get about 90-95% complete then flashes a BSD and before I can read anything it is already restarting. Same outcome if I let windows try and find the drivers itself.. I know that the sound worked right before the install... It's just a matter of having the correct drivers which this page basically confirms that I do http://www.e4me.com/support/product_support.html?cat=Desktops&subcat=T-Series&model=T2862 but I guess that something I am doing isn't right... I saw another post about this and it doesn't look like anything got solved.  I don't see a point to installing a aftermarket sound card when this one should/did work.... FU** emachines tech support... thanks for $50 drivers, I'd rather piss in a light socket.Start Free Trial
