Looks like missing drivers

I have an original MacBook Pro (with ATI x1600). Just today, the display looked similar to what a Windows display looks like without drivers (256 color). The display color is set to "millions." Also, this happens outside of the OS. You can see it happening on the grey Apple and spinning gears, and it also happens when I am booted to the install DVD, as well as Safe Mode. I ran a hardware diagnostic on it, and everything passed. Also, I connected an external monitor, and the display on it is fine.
This is a clean install with all updates applied.
Any ideas??

No great ideas, but I think I would at least try the SMC and PRAM resets.

  • E72 and SIP, look like missing a file

    Hi All;
    I have a Nokia mobile model E72 and it look like I am missing a file that is needed for SIP service. Actually I have SIP settings, but when I need to place a call, then there is no option called Internet call.
    What could be needed (which file) so the Phone will become supported for Internet Call?
    By the way: I am facing a problem that some Nokia Mobiles which work fine with SIP, they do not work fine if the wireless service was via the mobile operator (like 3G), but it work fine if the wireless service was via an access point router. So what is the solution for this case? Actually IPhone and some Nokia phones does not have this problem.
    Any advise?

    On your Mac you download the latest version through the App Store, not the iTunes Store. The iTunes Store gets you the iOS (mobile) version. The App store gets you the OS X (Mac) version. They are two separate apps.

  • I still need help. i am technically challanged.  i up graded my phonr to a 5 s.  i backed up my phone on icloud.  i cAn not get my notes or photos.   it looks like the icloud email address is wrong. how can i change it or get my missing items

    I need help. I am not good with technology. I upgraded phone today to 5 s I am missing notes and photos  it looks like the cloud address is not correct. Any suggestions

    Have you forgotten your password? - if so, you have a problem if the email address has gone dead.
    If you know your password, go to the iTunes Store, click on Account. log in and you can change the associated email address.
    If you don't know your password, and have no email address, you are going to have problems because it's difficult to see how Apple are going to identify you as the authorised owner of the account. Contact iTunes Support: go to http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/ - click on 'Other iTunes Store Features' in the list and then on 'Podcasts'. You will see a link to either 'Express Lane', which will guide you eventually to some contact options, or you may see a link to email them.

    Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
    So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

  • How To: Debug missing Drivers in MDT

    The definitive post on missing drivers in MDT (most comprehensive list I've done so far)…
    Please to NOT post questions from this thread, instead create a new thread.
    How to debug Network Driver Problems
    One of the earliest hurdles an MDT administrator will come across is the management of device drivers, specifically networking drivers. With most other drivers, like Audio, printer, and video drivers, a quick call to Windows Update or install over the network
    will resolve the Installation. However unless the Network (and storage) Drivers are installed into Windows from the start, it will be much more difficult to install the rest of the system.
    This post should help you get started if you find a machine that did not install a device driver properly, and you want to know how to find and import the correct drivers.
    Installing network drivers in the
    full OS
    Step 1 - Try network connection again
    It's possible that you might get a DHCP error from MDT, but when you try again later to connect the Deployment Share it works! This may be caused by a slow or malfunctioning DHCP server in your network. Re-check your DHCP servers, ensure that PortFast is enabled
    on your routers. If all else fails get your network administrators to document the DHCP delay. A long delay in modern networks is unnecessary. 
    Step 2 - Verify connectivity
    You may not have a driver problem but a network problem. Check the physical connection on the computer (Network installs on MDT *REQUIRE* a wired network connection, no Wi-Fi). Open a web browser. Check the IP Address (ipconfig.exe /all). Ping the Deployment
    Server, manually connect to the Deployment Share. IF you can't connect to the Deployment Share, neither can MDT.
    Step 3 - Find the Correct Driver Package
    Before you load the driver into MDT, first verify that you have the correct driver. There are scenarios where you may *think* you have the correct driver, but the driver will never run because the package is designed for a different OS/SKU/Platform/whatever.
    Install the driver package by:
      ○ Open the Device Manager (devmgmt.msc).
      ○ Find the network device in the list (ensure this is the wired device, not the wireless device)
      ○ Right click on "Properties" and click on the "Details" tab.
      ○ From the "Details" tab, select the property "Hardware Ids" select all the values, and copy to the clipboard, it would be a good idea to save for later. Should look something like:
          PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_21F317AA&REV_04
          PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&SUBSYS_21F317AA
          PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&CC_020000
          PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1502&CC_0200
      ○ From the "Driver" tab, click on "Update Driver…", click on "Browse my computer for driver software" locate the driver package on the local machine or USB Drive, and install the package.
      ○ You should get a confirmation that the driver package was installed.
      ○ IF you do not get confirmation, MDT driver installation may not work.
     Windows will install the driver starting with the *.inf install package, and will typically include a *.sys (binary) and a *.cat (digital Signature). If the driver package has been re-packaged into a *.cab, *.zip, or other compressed *.exe file, the
    package must be extracted first. This is a hard requirement for any driver used by MDT and/or SCCM. All driver packages that are signed by Microsoft (WHQL) will be installed from the *.inf file, and you should only use devices that have the Microsoft WHQL
    Logo as a sign of quality.
     If you need a help on where to find driver packages for your devices, the 3 largest Computer OEM manufacturers supply drivers grouped by Make and Model that are easily imported into MDT and SCCM. See:
    http://deploymentbunny.com/2014/07/08/back-to-basicwhere-to-find-drivers-for-servers-and-clients/
    Step 4 - Load driver into MDT
    If you have more than 20 driver packages, or if you anticipate you will have more than 20 drivers, you should start grouping your drivers in sub-folders for organization. One popular method is to group by Computer Make and Model. Ensure that you are using the
    correct Driver Selection Profile in your task sequence. If you are unsure, disable any selection profile(s) to ensure the driver is installed correctly.
    Step 5 - Run the full MDT installation
    During installation MDT will perform the following:
      ○ Run the PNPEnum.exe utility and capture output to PnPEnum.xml. The VEN_Xxxx and DEV_Yyyy from the "HardwareIDs" property above must be present in this list. Otherwise we won't have a match.
      ○ Search through the %DeployRoot%\control\drivers.xml file looking for a match for the HardwareID. MDT may filter the search based on the folder search type.
      ○ MDT will copy each matching driver to the local c:\drivers directory using the xcopy.exe command. You can search (grep) for the string "xcopy" in the ZTIDrivers.log file, that will get you list of all driver packages matched by MDT.
      ○ MDT will allow the machine to boot into the NEW OS, and Driver Installation will begin in the OS. IF there are multiple drivers found and copied locally, the Windows (not MDT) will determine the best one. The c:\windows\inf\SetupAPI.*.log files
    will detail which drivers copied locally were installed (or *not* installed).
    Installing Network Drivers in
    WinPE
    Step 6 - Try the network connection again
    (See above
    Step 7 - Verify Connectivity from within WinPE
    Verifying network connectivity will be a bit more difficult in WinPE, since we have a limited User Interface, so all investigation must be done in the debugging mode (Press F8) cmd.exe
      ○ Try connecting to the Deployment Share:
      c:\> net use * \\MDT\DeploymentShare$ /u:UserDomain\UserName *
      ○ Try pinging the Deployment Server:
      c:\> Ping.exe MDT.Corp.contoso.com
      ○ Verify that you have an IP address ( ipconfig /all ) If you have an AutoConfiguration address - Driver OK - WinPE can't reach the DHCP server. If you have "Media Disconnected" - Driver OK - Physical adapter not plugged to network. If
    no devices are listed - Driver bad - Driver not installed.
      ○ Check the x:\windows\system32\WpeInit.log - This log will show the network driver (if found) being installed.
    Step 8 - Verify driver packages are getting included into WinPE
    Firstly, verify the correct driver package from within the full OS above. By default MDT will import *all* Storage and Networking drivers into your WinPE image. However it is possible to change the subset of files copied via "Selection Profile" or
    other method. Cross check your WinPE Driver Settings.
      ○ From within the MDT console, right click on the root of your Deployment Share and select properties.
      ○ Click on the "Windows PE" tab, and the "Drivers and Patches" sub tab for both x86 and x64.
      ○ Your Network Drivers package must be in the "Selection Profile" if enabled.
    Finally verify that the correct Network Driver package is being copied to WinPE. If necessary this may include setting up a debugger to watch the MDT Provider build the WinPE Image from scratch. My preference is to use the SysInternals 
    http://live.sysinternals.com/Dbgview.exe tool.
      ○ Open up the MDT console.
      ○ Download and run the DbgView.exe tool.
      ○ Update the deployment share in question.
      ○ The DbgView tool should show what drivers were copied to each WinPE Image.
    Other
    Whenever you add a driver into the MDT console, you must update the deployment share for that drivers to be added to your WinPE Image. If you are unsure, select "Completely regenerate the boot images." to ensure the drivers is imported. Additionally,
    you must copy the updated LitetouchPE_x??.wim and *.iso files to the other consumers of the WinPE image like WDS/PXE and or any USB offline media.
    Note that some Broadcom NetXtreme class of drivers have a multi-function driver architecture that may have difficulty loading in WinPE. Ensure that you load the "RIS" class of drivers from Broadcom in your MDT environment. 
    Note that by default MDT does *NOT* support the installation of Windows over Wireless network devices (Wi-Fi). The MDT installation sources must either be available through wired networking, or offline (USB Flash) media.
    This post does not discuss origination of drivers within MDT ( Chaos vs. Total Control ), that is a different topic.
    http://www.deploymentresearch.com/Research/tabid/62/EntryId/112/MDT-2013-Lite-Touch-Driver-Management.aspx
    Further Help
    If you are still having problems with drivers in via MDT, ask the experts in the MDT Technet Forum:
    Include a short description of the problem. Including the Make/Mode if necessary.
    Include the HardwareIDs from the Device Manager (Devmgmt.msc) into the post (from above).
    Copy your known good driver package (step 3 above) to OneDrive.
    Copy the following log files to a public site like OneDrive and include the link:
      ○ PnpEnum.xml (from Client)
      ○ Bdd.log (From Client) - or at least the ZTIDrivers.log file.
      ○ c:\windows\inf\SetupAPI.*.log (from client)
      ○ %DeployRoot%\control\Driver*.xml
      ○ %DeployRoot%\control\SelectionProfile*.xml
      ○ %DeployRoot%\control\settings.xml (if problems in WinPE)
      ○ x:\windows\System32\WpeInit.log (if problems in WinPE)
      ○ If the MDT server is not including your driver package in WinPE include the DBGView log.

    Microsoft Device Driver Kit (DDK) specifically around the area of Device Driver installation in the OS (Windows NT 5.0, 2000 and Windows XP). (So yes, I know drivers :^).

    OK. I have redone the drivers for WinPE which has reduced the image size by about 200MB. Unfortunately the problem persists.
    Is there anyway to turn on some sort of boot logging so I can see what driver it is failing on?
    I am also still seeing the weird behavior of it working over PXE but blue screens when booting from USB. Can anyone explain that?

  • T500 Windows 7 Wifi Connectivity/Missing Drivers

    A few days ago, my T500 (Windows 7 Ultimate, 32-bit) crashed and went through a startup recovery process. When it was finally logged into Windows, I was unable to detect or connect to any wireless networks and Google Chrome (my primary browser) was gone.  After I couldn't find any restore points when running Windows Restore, I decided to just manually restore the missing components. I was able to connect to the internet via ethernet and reinstall Chrome (albeit missing all of my bookmarks and plugins), but still had issues with the wireless connection. Windows Network Diagnostics returned "There might be a problem with the driver for the Wireless Network Connection adapter," but was unable to troubleshoot the issue.
    Windows Device Mangager showed no missing network adapter drivers, but under "Other devices" each of the four items were missing drivers:
    Base System Device (x2)
    PCI Serial Port
    PCI Simple Communications Controller
    I've downloaded a number of drivers, (including several variants of Inter AMT and the Multi Card Reader, as suggested by similar threads), but none have addressed the four missing drivers. All attempts to update the drivers were unsuccessful.
    Could the missing "Other devices" drivers be causing my wifi issues? 
    Are there drivers I can update them with? 
    Is an updated driver available for the wireless network adapter (currently 12.4.1.4; none of the downloads have updated it)? 
    Is it possible to recover my data from the old installation of Chrome without any backups or restore points? (obviously I should have been backing up my data)
    Thanks.
    Lenovo T500, Windows 7 Ultimate (32-bit; upgraded from Vista Ultimate 32-bit), T9600(2.8GHz), 4GB RAM, 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650, Intel 802.11agn wireless (Intel Wifi Link 5100)

    I ran sfc /verifyonly and sfc /scannow; it said there some corrupt files and to check CBS.log. The file was fairly long, and I couldn't really discern any relevant information from it. Ctrl-F didn't find anything related to the driver. I don't know what, if anything, was fixed, but the driver issues still remain.
    I've tried to manually delete the old 12.4.1.4 drivers with no sucess. Even as an administrator in safe mode, I still couldn't modify anything. SYSTEM and TrustedInstaller are listed as having full control over the files, and there was no option to change the permission settings (check boxes were grayed out). 
    Is there anyway to modify those permissions so I can delete the old drivers? Would it helpt to reinstall 12.4.1.4? I've looked for a download online but haven't found anything yet. The only other solution I can think of is reinstalling Windows 7. Does that sound like the right course of action? The wireless card and the other drivers haven't had any issues up until now. It seems like some system files were corrupted when it went through the startup repair that started all of this.
    Thanks

  • ThinkPad x240 missing drivers

    Hello! I've recently installed Windows 8.1 on my new ThinkPad x240 and I've been looking for certain missing drivers ... Those devices are marked as "Unknown" by the device manager and the drivers are most probably not downloadable from the lenovo driver matrix (because I downloaded & installed all relevant). The Lenovo Solution Center nor the System Update can find anything ... The hardware IDs are as follows:1st device:USB\VID_138A&PID_0017&REV_0078
    USB\VID_138A&PID_0017 2nd device:ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_33A0
    ACPI\INT33A0
    *INT33A0 3rd device:ACPI\VEN_INT&DEV_340F
    ACPI\INT340F
    *INT340F 4th device:PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C3A&SUBSYS_221417AA&REV_04
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C3A&SUBSYS_221417AA
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C3A&CC_078000
    PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9C3A&CC_0780 5th device:PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5227&SUBSYS_221417AA&REV_01
    PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5227&SUBSYS_221417AA
    PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5227&CC_FF0000
    PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5227&CC_FF00 Do you know, what kind of hardware that might be and where can I get the drivers? Thank you!

    Hello,
    Unsure about the first device.
    Second device appears like it might be the iSCT ACPI Virtual Device.
    Third device appears to be the Intel Collaborative Processor Performance Control Driver.
    Fourth device appears to be the Intel Dynamic Platform & Thermal Framework Driver.
    Fifth deviceappears to be Realtek RTS522x PCIE Card Reader Driver.
    Since none of these drivers are specifically for your model of ThinkPad, and appear to be for Windows 8.0, not 8.1, I would advise some caution when installing them.  At the very least, perform a backup of any valuable data
    Alternatively, wait until Lenovo officially releases Windows 8.1 compatible computers and begins supporting it, and then install the drivers qualified for your operating system.
    Regards,
    Aryeh Goretsky
     

  • W500 missing drivers... AGAIN!

    Hi,
    i formatted my W500 w7 x64 at least 4-5 times in the past 2 years, and every time i used a link here to download the missing drivers and everything was working fine.
    But not this time, i can't figure out why and i've tried several alternative solutions, still no luck. I am stuck not being able to install
    PCI serial port
    PCI simple communication controller
    here are the list of what i tried: (some of them solved other missing drivers)
    6fuj42u6
    6iio10ww
    6ixr07ww
    6ixt09ww
    7kss55ww
    7kxv51ww
    7vd616ww
    7vr308ww
    Last one i tried is AMT 4.2 update, but it doesnt work (crashes if run win admin rights, looks like it processes if not run with admin rights, but does not work, blabla... lots of fun)
    Thank for your help.

    Maybe driver install is failing somehow? Check in Event Viewer for anything relevant.
    In any case, I don't think either one is particularly useful, anyway. If you don't need them, disable both and move on.

  • How do I get my Web Form - to look like - Paper Form

    I have several fairly complicated forms in PDF and WORD.
    I was hoping the acrobat form wizard could convert them and then i could import them to formcentral to be then embedded as html forms on website.
    Problem is:
    1. imported forms can not be converted into embedded html
    2. from reading help, i would have to re-design/author the form from scratch.
    Which I am willing to do:
    Provided:
    1. I can actually create a form that looks like the original online (or similar to)
    2. I can then print this as PDF (so that it looks exactly like the original pdf) or that it actually fills the original PDF fields from the original pdf document.
    IS THIS POSSIBLE?
    put another way..
    I want to have a form online that looks like the form on paper.
    the client can fill it out.
    submit
    it sends him a copy of the completed form
    it sends us a copy of the complted form
    if it needs to be changed, a staff member can edit it.
    what do I have to do to achieve this?
    THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELP!!!

  • Firefox will not display (It will not "open", although it looks like it's open in the taskbar)

    I'm not sure if it's coincidence that it updated itself to 37.0, but it must be...
    When I click on Firefox both on Taskbar and on Desktop icon, it opens on the task bar, when I highlight the task bar it even shows that Firefox loaded Google (my default webpage)... But it never come up on screen.
    I have:
    - Windows 8.0 (not 8.1 and I do not intend on upgrading since it functions better than 8.1)
    - Noscript add-on/plugin, possibly more
    - up-to-date drivers
    I have tried:
    - Uninstalling and reinstalling newest version (37.0)
    - Uninstalling 37.0 and Installing from Firefox website archive 36.0
    - Restarted my computer after installs
    - disabling maintenance service on install
    I have "allow"-ed the install windows popup both times and it doesn't help.
    The first time it tries to open it does go to the yellow background on taskbar of opened programs you haven't used yet...
    However, when I click on it nothing comes on screen. When I highlight it still shows my homepage there. I cannot do the firefox refresh thing because I can't get it to even display. I do NOT get any error messages on my computer, which is more bizarre. I've updated and ran windows defender complete scan and found nothing (but that's not surprising for "defender", lol).
    Once it opens the first time, even opening another page opens nothing. Then it freezes and won't close, even if you right click and try to close all windows... I have to use Task Manager to close it by End task...
    I don't know how to open the troubleshooter "xpi" thing, sorry....
    And not to whine, but why is it so broken all of a sudden XD... And more importantly, how in the world can I get it back working??? I'm using this terrible chrome I was lucky enough to just have on my computer already, which I only had for viewing one single thing a long time ago and forgot I even had Chrome... And as much as I hate using chrome, it's actually working flawlessly for me right now... So please any help will be much appreciated...

    Sometimes the Firefox window gets "off screen" somehow. You often can force it to appear on the screen by right-clicking the little thumbnail image above the Taskbar and choosing Maximize. Does that work?
    One possible cause for this is that the file which stores window sizes and positions has become corrupted.
    '''Method #1:''' ''If you can get a maximized window:''
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
    * (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
    * type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
    In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
    Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
    * (menu bar) File > Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?
    '''Method #2:''' ''If you cannot get a Firefox window at all:''
    Shut down Firefox by right-clicking the taskbar icon > Close All Windows.
    Using the Run dialog (windows key + R) or the Start menu search bar (or in Windows 8 maybe the charms bar search bar?) type or paste the following and press Enter to drill down to the Profiles folder:
    %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
    Here you may see one folder -- in which case, double-click into that -- or more than one folder -- in which case, double-click into what looks like the most recently updated.
    Scroll down and rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old as well.
    Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

    I have been trying for hours to extend my Extreme Gen 5 network with an Express Gen 2.  But no matter what I do or try, it doesn't work.  What does happen is my internet gets blocked somehow when the Express is online and looks like it's set up perfect and 'green' - but no internet connection for anything even though the Extreme is green and the modem is good.  Once I disconnect the Express, everything is good again.
    I've tried LAN, WAN, though a switch, direct connect, Extreme set to Extend the network, the Express set to be an extension.  Most of the time I get an error trying to update the Express.  But when it seems to be set up perfect, the entire house can't get to the internet.  Just when it looks right, it is so wrong.
    If anyone can give me exact steps (e.g., "...from the Base Station menu, select the Restore Default Setting option" vice "...just restore the defaults..."), I would greatly appreciate it.  I'm left to the conclusion that the Express is faulty.  I've been using Airport Utility 6.2 from Mountain Lion on one computer and Airport Utility 5.6.1 from Snow Leopard on another computer (the latter give more control while the former just want you to 'forget' the Express).

    I finally got it working.  I was trying to set it up ethernet.  My biggest mistake was when the new Express came on, I did not select 'Continue' - I went straight to manual thinking that I would get the most setup options in manual mode.  So everything I initially tried always resulted in 'wireless'.  Even when I would update or restore default settings, the Express would not completely restart. Or sometimes I would get an error. So most of the time I had to unplug it.  So when it came back up, none of my changes were retained. But there were a lot of times when everything was green and appeared to be fine. But anytime the ethernet cable was plugged in, no more internet.
    So here's the weird part.  When I finally tried 'continue' (vice manual), I would get 4 options.  One would be 'ethernet' extended.  So I would select it, it gave me green lights, all looked good, and still the same problem.  This is when I got frustrated.  I thought I had exhausted all possible combinations.
    But somehow when trying continue again after another restore, I only got 3 options.  One was the same ethernet extended option (can't remember what the missing 4th one was).  And this time it worked - it gave me the big green circle with the checkmark saying it was successful.  I don't know what I did different, but I know now that it won't work if 4 options come up to choose from.  It will work if only 3 options come up.  And success if only verified by the big checkmark.  Had anyone anywhere said the checkmark declaring success is validation, then maybe I wouldn't have gone down so many rabbit holes thinking it should have been successful.
    As for which Airport Utility I prefer, 6.2 looks nice, but it would just ignore the Express and would want me to 'forget' it and would not let me edit it.  Airport Utility 5.6.1 was the one that I ended up using the most and finally had success with.  It still strikes me as odd that there is no manually way to pick ethernet, it can only be choosen following a 'restore defaults', and only from the 3-option list (the 4-option list had the same ethernet choice, but it no worky).
    Thanks for the response.  I really do appreciate it.
    Aiport Extreme Gen5 - internet access and router
    Airport Express Gen2 - connected via ethernet, extending my wireless
    - configured while connect directly to the Extreme, but now on a switch (16-port hub)
    Using Airport 5.6.1
    1) Restore Defaults from Base Station menu
    2) Following restart, Select Continue
    3) Of the 3 option presented, select 'ethernet.... extend network...'
      - if 4 options are present, may not work
    4) Wait for the green circle with the big white checkmark.
    5) Connected Express to the switch where a cable went to other end of house - works.
    Dead-zone went from 2mbps to 24mbps.
    I probably spent 4 hours chasing my tail in anger.  The correct way took about 5 minutes total.
    Thanks again.
