Can anyone tell me what this means and how to fix it please? Something happened to my pc and I have this showing in my "device manager"with a yellow exclamation point. My pc isn't recognizing either of my CD roms and also says I have a 5-1/4" floppy which I don't. I have the 3-1/2" floppy. Also, "device manager says "PCI multimedia audio device" with a yellow question mark.
Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Jump to PostIt sounds like something has happened to your system bios configurations. Has anyone been changing hardware recently? Or perhaps you've had some power failures? If you know how to get into your system bios configuration, you can see how it sees your attached drives. The type of floppy is configurable …
Jump to Postbentkey is right- the yellow exclamation points mean that Windows had a problem identifying/configuring the sound card and secondary IDE drive controller.
More information such as the motherboard model, exact version of Windows, and a description of anything that might possibly have happened just prior to the problem's appearance …
Jump to PostSounds like you two need a UPS -- Uninterruptible Power Supply -- like a battery backup for you computer that also has a surge suppressor.
IDE is your hard drive (don't ask me what it stands for, I don't remember!) It should be set for Auto Detect.
