Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Controller 0 (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM)

So What Do You Think I Should Do ?

Thanks For Helping

Hi bizarretragedy,

I'm back on

OK you have installed Vista (hooray!)

Is it Vista 64 or Vista 32 ?

Referring you back to this page:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?lc=en&cc=uk&lang=en&product=3628036&dlc=en&#
Have you loaded all the updated drivers (after install) ?

Also you will have to update your Profile (yet again)

Also scrub the ECS bit, and put in Compaq Presario SG3100UK

I'll wait for the reply (well I'll do other stuff actually)

Here's a good start (other than Driver updates ofcourse)

SG31** Series (your computer)

Clearing the BIOS settings:
Make sure the computer is off
(Cord out, and disperse all internal voltage by pressing the On button)

This motherboard has jumpers to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.


Temporarily set jumper CLR_CMOS_HP to pins 2-3.

Wait 5-10 seconds and then return the jumper to pins 1-2.

When you startup the PC you will need to enter BIOS setup (F1 or ESC) to reset any custom BIOS settings.

Hi
I cant access that because all my drivers are in one silver box which you cant open :S
I have Updated My Profile.
Thannk you So Much For Your Help

Here is a good guide to follow:

You may wish to Print this page

Inside Internet Explorer click on "Tools" on the toolbar
(Note: in IE7, you may need to press ALT on the keyboard to see the IE toolbar)

After clicking on "Tools" click on "Internet Options"

• The first window you are presented with will be the "General" tab settings
• Inside the "General" tab you can select "Delete..."
• The next popup window will ask you what to delete.
• You can select one button at a time, or "Delete all", answering Yes

Once this is completed (and it may take some time to do) Continue on:

Still in the General Tab

• Click on "Settings" (next to Delete)
• Change the "Disk space to use" to 65
• Select OK

Now, go to the Security tab

• Click on "Custom Level"
• Click on "Reset"
• Click on "OK"

Now go to the Privacy tab

• What I do in here, is move the vertical slider slighty up or down
• This allows "Default" to highlight
• Click on "Default" (the slider will come back down)
• Click on Apply

At last go to the Advanced tab

• Click on "Restore advanced settings" (a bad way of saying default)
• Also if you scroll down the list, you will find "Phishing Filter" (I usually disable this annoying popup)
• Click on Apply
• Click on OK

Restart Internet Explorer

Now, please try that page again

By the way is this Vista 64 or 32Bit ?

im really sorry but what page?
And I Am Not Quite Sure Windows NT6.0 (Build 6000)

Are you saying the web link doesn't open ?

The instructions above, are referring to using Internet Explorer. Confirming that clicking on links the pages will open.

32 or 64 ? (asked 3 times now)

64 just restarting computer

There is only one important update:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/...&cc=uk&dlc=en&product=3628036&os=2100&lang=en

Also, if I were you, I'd remove Norton fully, and install AVG

Okay So Should This Now Let Me Play Sims 2??
Thanks For The Help

Oh the original question

It's as if this were your original post!

You know there are a lot of posts on this one game here at TechSpot
Some video cards work really well, some don't

Therefore it's trial and error at this point.
Let me know the outcome

Yay it works
or
No it doesn't
