Hey guys... i have a somewhat of a newbie question.. i have a sony vaio pcv-rx830 modle comp with no drivers for it.. when i reinstalled winxp i cant get my usb controllers (ports) to work. However when i connect something to it (ie printer, digi) it recognizes the hardwear yet it doesnt transfer any data.. i was wondering if any one can help me with my problem.. please post here or if you are able AIM me at Streeteconomics. thank you.

You need to install the drivers from Sony's website.

Go here and put in your info and it will take you to the page you want with the downloads you need.

Hey thanks for the reply.. i've been there and it has nothing for me.. i called sony for replacment drivers and they said they cost close to 50$ and being on a college budget thats a lot of money..

Try installing the chipset drivers.
I believe that they are the SiS® 650 Chipset Driver.

When you go to the screen with your system, where EvilRick pointed too. On the left click on Original Drivers.

This should work.

[elli0t]

yes i've done that. i doesn't work.. i updated everything that was possible.. yet nothing worked..

Wha? I put your model number in under their Vaio Desktops and it had a big list of drivers. Click on the link to the side that says "Original Drivers". Here's the direct link to the SiS650 chipset drivers which are what you need.

I've attached a screenshot of the drivers they have.

Evilrick.. i have download and installed that a few times now.. it doesnt fix my problem. i've downloaded all the drivers from that site yet nothing fixed my problem...

Stee-range?

Have you installed a new video card as well? If so, go into the BIOS and disable the onboard video.

Also, double-click the USB controller device(s) and see if it says anything about resource conflicts or anything like that.

[elli0t]

Hmm i havn't installed anything new at all.. as far as the resource conflict goes it doesnt metion anything.. check out the screen shot..

Even stee-ranger. You could try removing the devices and rebooting maybe the drivers will load then.

So you tried loading the drivers for the chipset and video?

You said you reinstalled XP, did you do it from a recovery CD or an XP CD?
