Hi there!
I have a laptop running XP SP2, which uses the Vinyl AC'97 Codec Combo Driver (WDM). Its been running ok for 2 years now, but just lately 99% of the time when I boot up it fails to recognise the audio driver. In device manager it has the yellow warning icon against it, and when I click on properties i get 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'. I've tried updating the driver using the update facility in device manager, but it makes no difference. I've searched other forums and there does seem to have been other people affected by this, but noone seems to have an answer for it. It sounds like some kind of conflict, but i'm really at a loss. I've tried uninstalling the driver and letting a re-boot add the hardware, it loads the driver ok, but device manager and 'volume control' still say there is no audio device. Very very occasionally when I boot up it DOES find the audio, and everything is fine until then next time i boot. Please can anyone help? regards, Fishy
