My computer is displaying an ialmrnt5 error message. I brought my computer to my sister’s house to see if I could use her Internet on it. I don’t know how to set that up. Help?
What is the “ialmrnt5″ Error?
The ialmrnt5 error indicates a problem with the graphics card’s device drivers. You will need to update your card’s drivers which should solve the problem. However, since you don’t have Internet access, this may be easier said than done.
Where to Get Updated Drivers
The easiest way to get the drivers that your card needs is through your computer manufacturer’s Web site (unless you have a custom built computer or have since upgraded graphics cards). Since your laptop doesn’t appear to have Internet access, your best bet is to borrow your sister’s computer and go to the Web site for your laptop. For example, if you have a Dell computer, go to Dell.com and find the drivers and download area. You’ll then enter your laptop’s model information and be shown a list of available downloads. Look for a graphics card driver and download the file to a CD or removable USB stick. Make sure to choose the appropriate driver for your exact operating system. You’ll use the CD or stick to install the driver on your laptop.
Updating the Graphics Card Driver from CD or USB Stick
Once you have the download on the CD or USB stick, insert the media into your laptop. Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Device Manager and click on Display Adapters. From there, double-click your graphics card and click on the Driver tab. Click Update Driver and choose the Browse My Computer option. Now, navigate to the CD or USB stick and select the file you just downloaded. Follow the prompts to update your graphics card driver. You will need to reboot the computer for the change to take place.
Note: You may need to unzip the download to your computer before updating the driver. If so, then make a note of the location where the files were unzipped and then browse to the appropriate file. Also, if the download is a self-executing file, you may not need Device Manager at all. In that case, simply click the icon and follow the prompts.
