Driver help

[Who me ?]

As said ,kind gents .Either who makes it or a site for drivers for an EiSYSTEM 4414 laptop,or any info at all .

This Site should have the drivers you require.

Sorry,mate,could be me ,but nothing coming up with that Laptop.It's suggested it's one built for Dixons and it looks like MOBO is a VIA NEHEMIAH,sporting a 1ghz C3 processor ( and that's whats on labels on laptop) .GFX is castle rock embedded ,but can't even locate anything on VIA site .

Have a look at This site then as it might be of some help.

Tried most of these sites -as said ,Iknow the board is a VIA one - just found a prog to detect hardware on the VIA site ,download.com detect engine is down ,it had found a few things on board.Userguide does recognise the name ,but it's hard work trying to work through that site .

I use Device Doctor to update all my drivers (searches for all drivers on PC and provides links to update). Might be worth seeing if it can find the drivers that you are after.

Looks good just installing to see how good it really is..

I've been using drivermax (free version) which is good, but limits updates to 2 a day..

Thanks to all -found a source on Via site -to a prog called PC wIZARD .By then ( serprise ) xp update had found two drivers ,one for ethernet controller and Audio one .So all I needed was the video card driver -found one now .Now all I've got to do is get PCI Simple Comms controller to work ,and I've cracked it .

Have you tried Windows Update?

Got the LAN AND AUDIO updates on there -have looked for the videoone by name -nothing doing .The PCI Simple thingy seems to be for the modem -it's got both LAN and modem on the motherboard .Got one driver off the net -it's pulled up the video card on the system ,but it's shown as disabled/not working properly .
The video is a VIA VT8623.Problem is that laptop seems to one by Dixons -they'restill selling EiSystem laptops .And from research some other firms sold same package branded differently .And although I know the video card -nothing shows up on the VIA SITE .

Again ,thanks for all the help .In the end ,the driver that didn't work ,led me to the right one on download.com .I've made a CD of the drivers ,just in case I need them in future .
