I am going to try reinstalling Vista from disk as way too many problems with these browsers and especially IE, I am thinking maybe the viruses on this unit may have infected the Recovery files? Get back to you in a little while.

I just did a Vista OS Recovery, IE won't upgrade to IE9, problem running Chrome, it crashes as soon as I open it and in Firefox, I am seeing youtube videos not showing properly, the graphics is good but the videos are showing choppy, pausing frequently and the audio not in time with the words. I looked in the DM, nothing is yellowed and the unit's DVD player is working fine, help please?

Hey guys, as I wake up this morning, fixing a person's laptop, I remember my tech support family here, no, I am not seeking help today, I am giving you guys the day off today :). I just would like to wish you all and your families a very Happy and safe Christmas day! Don't overindulge, oh what the heck, one day out of the year shouldn't be too bad right? Anyway guys, have fun and be safe, God Bless!

Very admirable Rich, I too try to do the same on my end, take an old pc from someone and refurb to give to another.

The owner took the machine, he's happy with it as he doesn't watch dvd's so that's not an issue. I installed flash player on all 3 browsers but as my previous post mentions, I was not having a problem with youtube, only the dvd player.

To clarify, the youtube video shows clear but it's the DVD video issue as I don't know why the DVD video is still not showing as clear as youtube, with native XP, DVD and XP were showing the same but Vista and now win7 the dvd doesn't show as clear, any ideas please?

Need help finding the correct win7 Home Premium graphics driver please PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2572&SUBSYS_218114A4&REV_02

Wonder if I should try win7 instead?

Oh sorry, I tried with all 3 browsers, chrome, FF and IE

Major problem with Adobe flash player, everything works fine even the dvd and cd but youtube video is showing choppy with no audio, I uninstalled adobe 3 times, same deal, help?

Ok got it, thanks!

Hmnn, I thought POP would be the fastest since it's stored locally, appreciate the help Cindy and I have printed your previous instructions for future driver use.

No just an answer to that question which was asked on one of my skills test and I can't find the answer anywhere.

Ok, thanks, will definitely try that. BTW, can you tell me which is the fastest email protocol please?

Oh shucks, so sorry, upon 2nd look, the vista drivers are there, please delete this thread, sorry!

Hp Compaq dx2000 MT business desktop, came with XP Pro, owner wants to run Vista, looking online I am seeing windows7 drivers for this unit here on HP's site: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=401821&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4051 I know normally you can use vista drivers to load win7 but this is the opposite, would this work problem free please?

I had already tried changing the cable before posting here Rich, I junked that old pc since no USB option to reload XP and it's obvious the rom problem is a mobo issue.

Cool, if you should have any questions at all about any of those 2 softwares, just drop me a line anytime.

Hey Pete, sorry for the late reply, I have now carried out all of your instructions, thank you very much! I see you're a music guy too? Maybe this Touchscreen jukebox setup might interest you? That is not mine, just one that's online but I have the same setup, if you should need any help with it, i'd be happy to help. Also this is the best dj/radio software on the planet, I have been using it for over 10 years: http://www.otsav.com/ You can use it to play live music or you can customize it to play back music for you any way you want, sort of like having your own private DJ or radio station and it's the most stable music software on the planet.

This is for the other rom: IDE\CdromDVDRW_IDE16X A089

This IDE/CDROMHL-DT-STCD-RW GCE-8483B_B105

Oh BTW, I wish to reload XP but it doesn't have a USB boot option which is why I need to fix the rom issue, strange thing is the 2 drives on this unit shows drivers not installed, I changed the IDE cable so my guess is maybe the controller is damaged? Only way I'll know is if I can get the driver for any of the roms, tried looking for the first two but couldn't find those.

Shows the driver is not installed in the Device Manager.

No service tag sticker on this old unit Cindy, also the rom in question is not the original rom it's a spare I had here replacing the dead drive in the unit.

Oh sorry, yes acd/dvdrom in a Dell dimension 4550 running XP Home
