XP update problem

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

lately here in yosemite we have been having problems with our windows boxes.

namely since the most recent service pack came out at the end of May we've been having problems getting our XP based computers to recogize our motherboard drivers. any suggestions?

currently my RAM is fried, we've got two others who have no sound since xP no longer recognizes their onboard sound cards, another person has lost their graphics acclerator....

Update drivers or roll back to SP2.

And don't use cheap no name motherboards. Stick with major motherboard manufacturers like Asus et al.

SP3 out already? Would it be necessary to download it?

Not at the moment; though things will probably start requiring it eventually.
