Guest Parkus45 Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 hi, i have windows XP home edition, SP2 running on a dell dimenson 8400. my sisters used my computer, and it became infested with virus, and became slow, so i just uninstalled windows, and reinstalled it. Now, i recive no sound though my speakers, (which are logitec x-530 surround sound, and they worked before running them on my motherboard) but only from the motherboard, (beep). In the control panel under sounds and audio devices, every thing is grey. my second problem is that my resolution is fine, but when scrolling through any window it is choppy and slow. p.s. i have looked for drivers, but none found for my motherboard, or my video card please help

You should have received a driver CD with your system. If not, or if you can't find it, take the service tag number from the back of the system, go to the Dell site, and do a search there in the support areas. You will find all of the drivers needed to get your system working again. You may need to download the drivers on another system, and burn them to CD or copy them to a USB device to get them over to your system. HTH -pk
Guest Rich Barry Posted July 4, 2007 Posted July 4, 2007 Re: poor video, and no sound What is the make and model number of your Motherboard? Sounds like you need both audio and video drivers. Does the motherboard have built in sound and video chips or does it have a PCI Sound Card and AGP or PCI Video Card. PCI and AGP refer to the white and usually brown slots on your motherboard.
