when i scroll down and up it looks like they are blinds !

does it need updates?

Answer 1

Do Not reformat

You did not install the drivers for your printer or your sound card.

click on start > settings > control panel > system > device manager

If there are any devices with a ? or ! or unknown device you will have to go to the link below down load and install the drivers

Answer 2

Reformat.

Answer 3

hp runs a special version of windows and drivers

go to hp.com and get the add-ons for your model

Answer 4

Install Windows XP with Service Pack 2 AFTER FORMATTING the C: drive. Then install all the motherboard drivers i.e. chipset, graphics, audio, LAN, etc.. If you don't have the motherboard CD, then go to http://www.hp.com and download it. Install any additional driver required by your system. Then try installing the printer. It should work.

Answer 5

You need to get hardware drivers for your computer.

They can be obtained from the hp website. Install all the necessary ones and your hardware will start working.

Your printer doesn't work because you have no drivers for it.

Your speakers dont work because you do not have drivers for your sound processor and the volume taskbar will only show if you have a sound processor....at this time your computer knows you dont because it doesn't know how to control it without drivers.

You dont have drivers for your video card or the proper ICC profiles for your computer monitor.....

Answer 6

Have you installed the drivers? The browser problem likely bcoz u haven't installed the graphic driver, no sound because there's no sound driver, etc.

Look in your computer package, if you can't find any CD/DVD with "driver" or "recovery cd" on the label, have a (good/bad) time finding them in the internet. Otherwise just use the CD/DVD.

Btw, i google and it looks like vx74 is your monitor series, not related to other components. So try this program http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/PC_...

(run in your pc, write down all the hardware names there (most important, chipset, graphic, sound card), then google the driver.
