Before you give the gut reaction, the driver for the sound card, let me explain that I know this. I have two used desktops and one used laptop I’ve repaired, exchanging some parts. The desktops are 98 and the laptop is ME. I’ve identified the sound card, downloaded the appropriate driver and istalled it. The problem? While the computers think everything is OK, all 3 do not produce sound. If it were one, I’d call it a bad sound card, but not all three. When I look on my XP computer, there is a whole bunch of items in addition to the sound card driver listed under sound devices in the device manager. Are there other software drivers that need to be installed in addition to the actual sound card driver?
I appreciate your answers so far, but they aren’t getting it. VOlume control will not open, but it shows the device working properly in device manager. I found out what sound card I had by taking it out an looking at it. The sound worked before I had to switch harddrives out. The restore CDs won’t work because of the changed parts I’m assuming. Any other suggestions?

Portland drivers in the snow

A snowstorm on the morning of Jan 16th 2007 left about 3-4 inches of snow and ice on the ground in Portland, Oregon. This is what happens to people with too much confidence in their 4WD and zero experience driving on icy snow. Video was taken around SW Salmon and 20th Avenue, which is pretty steep (to be fair).
Drivers?

Can anyone explain why the simple act of flicking an indicator switch, which proves SO helpful to other road users, seems to be too much effort for some selfish drivers? It is deliberately making it difficult for other drivers, especially at roundabouts. And even worse than the ones who don’t idicate on roundabouts are the ones who indicate to come off too early, making you plow into their path…rrraaaaahhhh!
