Resolving Squeaky Floors

Hi All,

Bought a new house and boy are the floors squeaky! House was built in 1992, but wow you'd think it was built in the 50-60's!!

I have access to the basement and have used wood shims for the first floor with success. The second floor we've used screws that break off below the carpet, with mixes success.

In one room specifically, we've put screws every 4" from wall to wall, but the floor still squeaks plenty. We've done this across each floor beam (every 16" or so). What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any help in advance.
