I think the key issue here is to consider when the problems occurred. Ask the questions...

1/ Did the machine ever work OK?
2/ When did it stop behaving properly?
3/ Did you install any software/upgrades between working and not working?

To add to what I suggested earlier, again using the restore function, before you do anything, (either my or others suggestions) CREATE a restore point. This is way of getting back to at least where you are now.

As I see it, the danger is that if you install new drivers then the new drivers may not work either. You may also then lose the limited functionality you have now.

And after all of that - don't forget to make sure your machine is virus free.

Good Luck,

The Mackem.
