Title: Help - Someone Professional - Windows Problem.
Post by: John Ley on December 25, 2017, 02:17:42 am
Hey, I missed Argonath R PG so much. Can you help me ?

This is John Ley, I installed Windows 7 recently and damaged my PC. No sounds, GTA SA keeps crashing. No Google.... nothing.

The PC works for 8 mins and Boom 'Blocked as always'.

I really really need help. I tried to download Windows XP from net but Internet Explorer 8 is not letting me do anything, so jealous. Couldn't download Mozilla either Chrome. I really need help. Couldn't even update Explorer.

I can't do anything, tell me what to give you and fix it for me please. IP or what. Just install aNything, even Windows XP.

My  pc isn't that good, so a working Windows 7 or xp would be enough. I'll appreciate the help.

Essentially, you have no internet access ?

Is it a legal version of Windows.

Have you tried going safe-mode with network? How did this problem occur? Did you download any file? Have you edited or touched ''regedit''? Are you sure that it isn't hardware problem? Your wifi card might have been deattached, as it happened to me before twice.

Seeing as you've just installed Windows 7, I'd be willing to bet a few drivers are missing.

Is it a custom built PC or prebuilt? If it's prebuilt, could you tell us the make and model?

I have internet access. I don't think that it's legal as I got it for free. Illegal

I have tried going with Safe-Mod but the net didn't work. You can't work with net if it's Safe-Mod.

I had Windows XP Professional and some virus, GTA SA lagging, Fps 20. Then, Idownloaded Windows 7 from net and Installed it.

I haven't touched any File. About the WiFi, it's working but the problem is in the PC. I just need to install Windows XP or any Windows in the PC but sadly I can't Do so due to Internet Explorer errors.

I'm sure that some Divers are missing, that's right.
Not custom, just downloaded  a version of Windows 7 and installed it. I though that my PC would be faster with it.

Then its probaby due to some missing files or corrupted services. Most of the time they get corrupted and doesn't even run. All you need to do is remove the viruses. You can do it by using Malware Bytes application, download the trial, try a full scan and it will detect all the viruses.

For network usage, When at start up, click safemode with NETWORKING, not just the safemode option. This will run the device with the basic services and network usage.

Good idea, but I don't have Audio Drives and when using Safe-Mod Networking, I don't find Audio SHIT available and that doesn't let me play GTA SA.

When starting it normally I use a Mic for Audio SHI

I'm unlucky asb. Want to kill myself. Wanna explode like a Grenade.

The best way to get a working version: Buy it from an official store.

Safe mode is not for you to play, but instead to fix the issues and go back to original state. Like i said in my previous post.

Redownload it, but this time use another browser, Mozilla Firefox is recommended by me, it's faster and easy to use. First download it if you don't have it then try downloading Malware Bytes again.

Seeing as it's Windows 7, looks like missing drivers to me. This happened upon installation, yes? If it's a stationary PC, then the manufacturer should have provided you with a driver disk, use it to install all the drivers needed. If they didn't, well, you're shit outta luck, as you're gonna need to find out what components does your system use and go somewhere with an internet connection to download these drivers.

If you would have used Windows 10 (as you should as it's faster and safer), this wouldn't have happened. They install drivers upon installation.

Windows 10 works exactly the same way as Windows 8, 7, Vista etc in terms of drivers. You're lucky if it contains the correct drivers, otherwise you should always install them yourself.

That is incorrect. Windows 7 does not install drivers on its own. It does not have that function built in. Windows 8 and 10, however, have the network drivers installed by the default and then install the rest of the drivers during or after the installation. If you don't have the drivers disk or access to another computer with an internet connection with Windows 7, you're screwed.

I'm not going to argue with you about it, but I work in IT, it's what I do... and I'm telling you Windows XP, Vista and 7 also came with a set of drivers for many hardware devices over this period.

Really hard to believe given the response. It's simply not true and tested in practice.

Now now boys, hardly the place to argue.
However, for the purposes of closure and to stop the 1v1...  :lol:

Julio is correct in his statement. A driver is an intermediary between an OS and a component; With the almost infinite combination of OS' and components, you are fortunate if it comes with the OS.
Given the way you portrayed your answer (a thinly veiled criticism for not installing W10) I feel obliged to point out that advising someone to install an expensive new OS based on a driver issue is...unwise. ;)

For John, sounds like your cure is to find either an internet connection and download the network driver to a USB stick (if you are tech savvy) or go to a local computer shop and ask them to do it for you...it will be cheaper than buying W10.
