Thanks, I have become too complacent in

Your reminder is well taken, and heard.

Exactly, and just what I was wanting to know
so as to get a plan to fix this thing.
My heartfelt thanks to you both for being here.
Do keep up the presence, times like these one

Take the cover off, see what chips it uses and write them
down. Follow that as leads to the correct drivers. Note
the northbridge, southbridge, an audio chip if it has one
(whole chip, not just codec chip). Someone mentioned Via,
and viaarena.com which is a good start so you just need the
southbridge if there's a codec chip to download the right
audio driver in additition to the chipset driver. If it has
a separate video chip from the northbridge then you'd need a
separate driver for that too.

If you are still looking for information about your system you might want to
download the freeware program SIW.
It will try and identify your motherboard, Northbridge, Southbridge, BIOS,
and more. Actually more information than most people care to read but it
does come in handy from time to time especially when trying to identify
hardware with out opening the case.
