Hello,
I recently had my computer rebuilt to where it is 99% new. I was told that Windows 7 was installed and the screens and programs are different from my old system ( I had Windows XP ) . Althought everything is much different my screen still shows Windows XP when I start up.
Also my card readers do not work all the time. I've used the CD I received with them and the strat up procedure tells me I don't need to do anything . I got a message saying "new hardware found and ready to use ( Promaster digital multi card reader) .
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Pat L

hi there,

open run type: winver

you will get windows type and version

then install correct drivers for the hardware to function well

download them from official manufacturer website

Thanks
Thanks for the assistance. I'm not a computer person and evidently I was robbed when the rebuild was done. The tech said I was getting Windows 7 the screen says Windows XP version 5.1
Thanks again.
