Aptiva - Unlabeled driver in Multimedia under Control Panel

Applicable to: World-Wide

In Control Panel, MultiMedia, Advanced, Media Control Device the very first driver has no name. If you click on Properties it shows the driver as being enabled, but nothing about what its function is or a name.

The solution is as follows:

The nameless driver is because of a mistake in the registry. To add the name to the driver, do the following:

1.) From the Taskbar, click the right mouse button on "START".

2.) Click on RUN

3.) Type in Regedit.com and press enter.

NOTE: Be sure to perform only the following steps in the registry or you could experience serious system problems.

5.) From the pulldown menu, click "edit".

6.) Click "Find".

7.) In the 'Find what' box type "mwavefax".

8.) From the right window in the Registry Editor box, double click on "FriendlyName" and name it Mwave Fax (Or whatever you would like).
NOTE: DO NOT ADD QUOTES... It does this by itself.

The missing driver will now contain that name.

If the key was deleted, follow the steps provided below:

a.) After performing the first 7 steps above, click the on following names to get to the MwaveFax driver:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
System
CurrentControlSet
Control
