Which Presario 6030 is it?? AK/AP/CA/EA/GC/HK/LA/TC/TH ???
It does matter! Bill "coolcar" wrote in message ... I am helping a very technophobic friend with his new Compaq. He managed to replaced the XP IHome) version with XP Pro but now has no sound. It's clear they need the relevant sound driver/s. I have got hold of a set of drivers for the Presario 6030 but this is stated to be for running Windows 98 up to 2000 and only possibly suitable for XP. The driver set is called 'sp8485'. Incidentally, Compaq's advice was virtually useless - they state that they don't provide drivers because these are located in a hidden partition from whence they supposedly can be recovered if someone ever has the gall to want to reinstall Windows (which is also located in this partition). Compaq don't supply a Windows XP with the machine - this is also hidden on the mysterious extra partition. Most peculiar. Regards, Hubchy |
Thanks for the quick reply. I decided to investigate the information
my friend gave me so I physically checked the base unit. In fact the model is NOT a 6030 but is a 3060!. The full model number is S3060AN and the serial number (if this assists) is 234960-001.
