Problem devices in my Tiny computer! I don't even know what question to ask!I know nothing about computers.


I am about to give up, I spent all week in forums. My brother gave me his old computer and I used to play my game Sims 2. I am living abroad and frequent power outages killed a computer. I used the reload / backup CD of Tiny and reinstalled the Sims 2, but got an error message saying there was no Direct X 9.0c compatible software.

I looked in Device Manager and interrogation yellow light of USB, video controller and video Cont. (VGA Compatible.) Video Controller (VGA), he said Drivers are not installed (Code 28). I have a drivers CD with the computer with several pilots on NVDIA and tried to install them, but he said there was no pilot and I have no idea what the video card has this computer! It must have all the hardware and softeware needed soemwhere because he previously worked.
If you
THE SOLUTION please help me. Tiny went into liquidation and I do not need to be told to call a technician. This computer is not on the Internet.

points interrogation yellow means that pilots are not working or compatible with your hardware. use the CD that you received with your computer (not nvidia drivers if you do not have a video card) to install video and usb drivers. Windows should come with generic video drivers and you could see things on the monitor. If you still want to use the video card drivers, you can download a program called "SIW and try to see what kind of video card is installed. You can also try to put the Windows CD, and use generic drivers for other materials, such as USB. Direct X9.0 can be downloaded from the Internet.



I remember Tiny computers. Many people do not like them because they were difficult to upgrade because they were so small.

The first thing you have to do is visit "Control Panel" / "Add / Remove Programs" and delete all the stuff you installed nvidia (if the list)

Then restart your computer
Follow this link




nvidias its site and automatically try to find the driver you need.







Once you've found the right driver, install it and restart your computer, then try to install Direct X 9.0c Again



you should find some to get on the Net to follow the link ...



edit: If you know the model of your PC May we be able to know that the drivers you need, what you could do is to launch configuration and extracts all contained in a dossier on drive C which is C: \ Nvidia if you open your Device Manager, right-click on the "VGA Controller" and select "Update Driver" and follow the instructions, select Search for pilots automatically, and check the box "CD-ROM Driver" with the CD and also "specify location" in the box-type "C: \ Nvidia" and click Next ...


Good luck

Well, in this case, I do not think about it whatsoever a Geforce 2, GeForce 3 or push a GeForce 4 (published in 2003) trying to download the driver for nvidia site, and give them ago, they are unable to work or not work, because its does not work, you do not need too worried about this. Make sure you uninstall all those who do not work.



To find your model, right-click on my computer and go to properties, which will open "System Properties" for staff at the bottom it said usually "Made and supported by" for example, lower

series, you have to uninstall the drivers vga of control panel or go to device manager and uninstall. and reboot. after the vga find the drivers and install it. and reboot. it will work properly. if not find the last DirectX and install it. it will work. Other wise you need to download the latest video drivers that belongs to your video card. good luck.
