Windows XP Help!

[ishkash]

I have recently installed Windows XP Professional on my PC(that apparently after my disk crashed).Now the problem is that I have Yamaha Xware soundcard, but XP is not accepting the driver for this card.A friend told me that Yamaha must have updated their drivers. so if anyone can help as where to look out for the drivers or any other ideas?

If you know anyhting, it would be of help.

Thanks

Good luck.

Also, I did a general search for "Yamaha Sound Cards", and came up with some sites that had drivers for XP, but not for your particular card. If the above site doesn't help, then you could try searching other sites. For some reason, I don't see one particular home page for Yamaha. Do they list a support site in your manual?

Also know that if it says "Windows 2000" drivers, they will likely work for it as well, as Windows XP should really be called "Windows 2000 SP 3 now with pretty colors."

That is an expected problem when upgrading from the Windows 9x family (DOS codebase) to the Windows 2000/XP family (NT codebase), but luckily, most companies have been accomodating for the last two years, and, obviously, will have to soon, since the NT codebase is the only one running now.

And your best bet is to search for your driver on the Yamaha site: http://www.yamaha.com .
