Trouble 5 :

I formatted my computer after that I installed gigabyte drivers, but the sound device is
not working . No sound is heard for any movie. – Anil

Fix:

From your description of problem, it seems that you have installed the Motherboard and Chipset drivers but the sound drivers are still missing. For that you either need to look for these drivers in your motherboard driver CD or you need to download it from Motherboard manufacturer’s website.

There are two reasons for which this error comes. The reason and Solutions are listed below:

Trouble 3 :

I am using a lenovo 3000N100 series laptop and am facing problems with driver installations. The drivers i have downloaded from the lenovo website fails to resolve my problem. please help me with this. – Srinivas

Fix:

If you are not able to find compatible drivers correctly on the Lenovo website, there might be some hardware changes to the model you purchase. I would suggest you to read the following article: Know Detailed Hardware Configuration Of Your Computer. After you have the detailed configuration at the device level, for example you know that you have a broadcom Ethernet card,now you can search for the broadcom driver for that particular card and so on. Its bit hectic to do it this way, but it will solve your problem.

Alternatively I would suggest you to try this tool : Find Device Drivers For Free

Looks like the display resolution of your screen is messed up. Try to change the display resolution or change the icon size. These are some helpful article for you to fix your problem:

I found it has memory 0 bytes in the properties.I had tried by changing the option in POLICIES tab in Device manager but cannot solve this problem and also i cannot format it.
