Installing onboard audio drivers

[johnnydrinkawater]

The drivers are for an Intel Desktop Board D945PVS IDT.

This headache problem is that the drivers do not want to install because of the HD Audio drivers currently installed.

Intel troubleshooting says to uninstall those and install the Realtek HD audio drivers that come with the IDT install package. Well, XPSP3 doesn't allow that.

So, I tried reverting the registry back to SP2, restarted, installed the HD Audio drivers, regedit back to SP3, restarted, tried installing the IDT drivers and it still won't work.

Thanks for any help.

You need to go into the device manager and click on the sound there. Then sleect the driver to uninstall and click uninstall. You need to be doing this in safe mode so it all sticks. and cause as few problems as possible.
