I tried to do your fix but when I got to "Have Disk" and pointed to the temporary folder where I put machine.inf it didn't populate with anything "No option for Plug and Play*" I don't know what I did wrong, am I at a point where it might be more effective to just reformat the drive? |

hello all, i screwed up my windowsXP audio setup while trying to install a bad PCMCIA audio card. PC froze (not BSOD, just froze) a couple of time while hard disk was writing/reading drivers in the system folder. i had to turn off the pc each time and boot again. The second time i reboot i discovered i had no audio. Audio peripherals in Hardware were all yellow marked, even EIDE DVDreader was yellow marked , and "plug n play software enumerator" too. you can easily imagine what happened... 3 or 4 fundamental drivers had been damaged because hard disk was reading/writing in those sectors when the PC froze. so i gave a look to the system log , found which drivers couldn't be loaded and manually overwrite them with backup files i had. then i removed yellow marked peripherals and reinstalled them. Now everything seemed right, but there was still no audio. I forgot to reinstall "Pnp software enum". And I didn't know how to reinstall it, since it didn't appear in "install new hardware" lists. Until Optrex found the solution. Great, man. I registered to this forum just to make you my compliments marco, italy -- marcos77 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ marcos77's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=25730 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=44823 http://forums.techarena.in |

First of all i would like to tell you Machine.inf Machine.inf is the INF file used by the Windows operating system during the Windows startup process to map core chipset hardware and BIOS-enumerated or firmware-enumerated device identifiers (IDs). Windows uses this information for tasks such as: • Creating services and visual display strings. • Copying drivers in conjunction with Layout.inf. • Creating and deleting registry entries. • Applying filter drivers. As new chipsets evolve or when system manufacturers change device description strings for their current chipsets, Machine.inf is the file they must modify. To study more visit 'Machine.inf' (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system...chine_inf.mspx) -- Hank Freid ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hank Freid's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=47618 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=44823 http://forums.techarena.in |

The fix from Optrex worked. Before the reinstall of the sound driver did not. Now I have a question: Do I move the modified machine.inf file from the temporary location to the \windows\system32\ directory for future updates? Or do I leave it alone in the \temp directory? Thanks again for a solution to a difficult problem (for me at least). -- cc -- carlcobb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ carlcobb's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=51312 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=44823 http://forums.techarena.in |

optrex;318165 Wrote: OK we got it fixed. The plug and play software emulator had was missing. Fixed by searching for machine.inf then copy to temp directory. remove at about line 20 " ExcludeFromSelect=* " goto control panel, add new hardware, next (let it seach), yes hardware is connected, next, scroll to bottom, add new hardware device, next, install from list, next, select system devices, next, select have disk, point to amended copy of machine.inf in temp directory, scroll to "plug and play software device emulator" in right hand column, next and complete install. -- optrex Hello, i need help, i have just read your message, followed all steps through correctly (i hope) up untill "Have disk" where i Browse to my temporary file "C:\Documents and Settings\Bec\My Documents\machine.inf" click ok and then nothing occurs and i am left with the manufacturer and model panes blank. Is it that i have set up a wrong temporary directory? Or that i need to insert my manufacturer's installation disk? I probably have done something obviously wrong, heck i didn't know what a temporary directory was untill last week, i just want to be able to listen to music, and i really appreciate that people are out there that are willing to help someone who may not be all there with computers Thankyou for taking your time. -- Boo ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Boo's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/boo.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/44823.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
