Drivers

Experienced a problem earlier this week whereby Outlook Express would crash
as soon as I tried to access it ("fatal exception has occurred at
028:C02817E* in VxD VMM(06)"). Occasionally I could access via the Mail tab
of Internet Explorer but it was intermittent. In any event worked with a
couple of experts in Outlook Express Ng and it turned out to be the video
drivers. Among other things, I reinstalled the drivers and all is now well,
or so it seems. However I just noticed in SYSTEM INFORMATION that I have a
whole bunch of drivers missing. For example;
DISPLAY enugfxcg.hlp
hpd01020.icm
hpd086E0. icm
hpd04EA0.icm
hpd04860.icm
INPUT idvkd.sys

All of above show DRIVER NOT INSTALLED, however with the exception of the
last one which I can't find on my system, a search indicates the drivers are
located in C:\Windows\Options\Cabs.

In Device Manager, I noted that no drivers were needed for my HP monitor but
there was a note in the general tab saying something to the effect that an
unknown problem existed. I uninstalled in Safe mode and the message
disappeared upon startup, however the hp drivers under DISPLAY above still
show as missing.

How can I reinstall the missing drivers if it doesn't ask where they are
located after I reinstall? I have several others like that for a printer and
a scanner.

Thanks in advance

This is from the "read Me" of my nVidia driver install. It may help you on
the display.
__________________________________________________ _____________
" Driver Installation Hints


"Download Accelerator" utilities should be disabled when downloading any
drivers.
Do not run virus protection software in the background while installing the
drivers. This prevents the driver from configuring itself properly.

Before installing new drivers make sure you uninstall all NVIDIA display
drivers from the Windows Control Panel. Browse to the Start Menu Windows
Control Panel Add/Remove Programs and search for "NVIDIA Windows Display
Drivers" or "NVIDIA Display Drivers" and select remove."

I do not use OE. So can't help you there.
But if you have to use IE repair it is better to do it with virus scanner
turned off.

ICM files are not drivers. They are colour matching definition files for the
particular devices. If you don't have these devices then you don't need the
files. You may have the option to add specific colour matching files under
the advanced option of your display driver. The HLP file won't affect the
operation of the display.

The IDVKD file is associated with your keyboard. It may be a spelling
mistake, as hidvkd.sys is on your W98 installation CD. If you don't have a
problem with the keyboard then you can ignore it.

Thanks poatt. I appreciate you taking the time to forward me instructions
for installing your drivers. I suspect instructions should be uniform. I
uninstalled in Safe mode and reinstalled in a Clean Boot environment. I did
not go into ADD/REMOVE and uninstall the software first so it's possible
that something got screwed up. The system is working now, the only thing
that seems wrong is that I can't maintain AUTOMATICALLY EXPAND GROUPED
MESSAGES, which is what started crashing OE in the first place. I may
uninstall and reinstall all tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback too, Jeff. I was merely reporting what SYSTEM
INFORMATION reported, however if they are files and are not required, so be
it. BTW, idvkd.sys was not a typo on my part; again it's what System Info
reported.

While the above reported drivers may have been files, they were only a few
examples of apparent errors in my system. I do in fact have drivers that are
not installed yet appear to be on my system. I still wonder how do I get
them installed, if the installation misses them. Specifically,
HPGDTSTI.INF shows as DRIVER NOT INSTALLED, however it is located on
C:\Windows\INF.

Thanks again for your help.

The mistake I was referring to is probably in an INF file - System Info sees
this file name listed and assumes it is required, but it is actually a
mistake and the required file is, in fact, properly installed.

OK. I think I'm hearing that I should ignore Driver Not Installed.

Thanks for your help.
