Posted August 31, 200717 yr I have a driver being installed for an AC79 onboard, laptop chipset. I view the details and get the name of the file... ac97intel.sys (intel chipset). I'm shown the location being in system32\drivers. Yet I can't find the file. Why? I have a Analog devices chipset for AC97 audio(AD1881) and am trying to get full use of that codec. But it's next to impossible with Vista always reinstalling its most favorite driver. I have had success with the Soundmax driver so I know it works. But installation is not a sure thing for whatever reason. So I would like to isolate the Vista choice and feed Device Manager my choice... which I know works. Thanks for any help.
