Still can't get Sound driver on T61 to work in 2000

#1 Post by i-SnipeZ » Mon May 18, 2009 10:34 pm

Can anybody provide instructions. I run the patch but it doesnt work, and I am completely clueless how to get it to work, I like Vista, but its just not working for me.

It seems to be a problem with the Ethernet driver that causes sound to 'skip'.

Download and install the latest 8256x driver direct from Intel:

Standard procedure on most Lenovo drivers:
doubleclick on the downloaded, file, and it only EXTRACTS to c:\drivers\somewhere
You need to go into \somewhere and doubleclick on the setup.exe in \somewhere to INSTALL.

Hey, no offense meant. But I don't know you from a can of paint, and I also don't know how computer-literate you are!
