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!

Multimedia Audio Controller - can't install drivers : ("The name is already in use...")

Asked by bgeo in General Computer Systems

Tags: service, already, use, audio

Install Wizard always responds with "The name is already in use as either a service name or a display name".

XP and Service pack 2. SiS PCI card is 1039, Dev 7012.

I had to reinstall system after apparent virus attack and found SP2 had installed C-Media drivers for the controller which didn't work. Found usfule info on deleting C-Media on daniweb forum by navyjax2 - very useful, no more C-Media files on disk or references in registry. And Advanced System Organizer reports no errors in registry. Got driver file from SiS website, XP Wizard starts to install but comes up with response before completing and aborts installation.

There's a conflict somewhere so, experts, please suggest where. I've uploaded complete system info (and will upload registry in the next few minutes) to

http://briefcase.yahoo.com/bgeo100

I've seen similar prioblems on forums before, usually without an answer. I'm pretty sure system is clean of C-Media files - after reboot, XP never reinstalls again once controller is uninstalled.

Getting worn out with this prob....pls help someone. Maybe its been solved before - if please excuse, I've just joined Exp Exch.
