I have a program on my pc that keeps telling me my pci ide drivers are out of date. All of the other drivers I have updated but I can not figure this one out.
thanks for any help.
I did not think it was a big deal I just figured update you could do was not a bad idea.

Re: How do I upgrade the pci ide drivers on my pc.
Pcs dont tell you its out of date they either tell you its not installed or its fine. i think another driver software is telling you this, if everything is working fine then just ignore it, you dont have ti obay every message your pc tells you.

Vista has a cutoff date on desktop computers for supporting drivers for video.
Your options are to go back to XP, or see if your computer has a spare
PCI slot, if so then buy a PCI VGA board that is Vista supported.
When you open your case and install the board, bootup and Vista
will detect the new VGA board and install the required drivers.
This error message could be caused by a number of things. Generally it's because the program being downloaded is corrupt or didn't download completely. Have you tried a different browser to do the downloads? If it's a very large download you may encounter problems with losing packets. A download manager may help. http://www.techspot.com/downloads/231-free-download-manager.html
Also, you may want to try doing a restore to system restore point to a date when you weren't having this issue. System Checkpoint dates (in bold) are usually very safe points to restore to. I would also recommend a virus scan and if you don't have this utility and are able to download and install it (yes I know that's your current problem, but you can download it to a flashdrive from a friend's comp and install it), I'd get Glarysoft Utilities and run the one-click maintenance which will fix any registry errors. It's free and is a great way to keep your machine running well.
If any of this helps correct your problem I would appreciate a rating. People here seem to take the help and don't show any appreciation by taking the time to rate the help.
Sad to say but you can only keep laptops up to date until the motherboard on it reaches its peak. And to do so, just check out the latest drivers online. for your Lenovo laptop check out consumersupport.lenovo.com for latest drivers and software updates not only that, you can also watch out for latest programs which are out in the market regularly and upgrade your notebook's RAM and HDD if it doesn't meet the programs system requirements because whatever the motherboard is on your laptop that is the only thing that would fit in that shell.
Good Day sir, hi, Have you tried to enable the IDE on BIOS setup. If the Bios setup did not solve the IDE problem, check the IDE port of the HARD drive, check if there are bent pins.
If still wont work, you can buy a PCI to IDE/SATA card, this is an expansion card in PCI format with IDE and SATA port.We use this card incase the IDE or SATA on the motherboard gets bad. Connect it on the available PCI slot. Then connect the IDE cable of the Hard disk to this card. Thats it.
No your not.Go to microsoft web site or use the built in Windows Update on your computer.If you haven't downloaded the update tool it will ask you to install it.After it installs the update tool, run it.Pick the updates you need lnstall them some will require you to restart.Later check the automatic update feature to check for updates.Other updates will be from the manufacturer or your PC,check for their updates.Software from their sites.This is not hard.If I were you I would buy a general book on XP you can learn easy steps to keep your PC up to date and won't have to ask anyone (except FixYa.com) good luck
A ram upgrade could help, however you may need to think about upgrading your CPU also. First check if you can upgrade your CPU. Your best option may be to upgrade to a new computer altogether.
What the computer is trying to tell you is that the hard drive has gone faulty somehow... hard Drives can and do spontaneously fail all the time..
It probably shut down because it detected a serious fault with the hard drive.
I think that at least you are going to have to try a new hard drive to see...
I did not think it was a big deal I just figured update you could do was not a bad idea.
Thanks for your response it definatly makes sense.
What program is telling you that?
