Need help with installing drivers

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional and have been having trouble with installing the drivers necessary for sound, USB, graphics, etc. I have the Windows drivers on an external drive, but the OS won't recognize an external drive because it needs the drivers to do so. My Macbook came with OS X 10.6 installed, but I have since upgraded to 10.7 through the App Store. I believe I can use my 10.6 factory DVD to install drivers on the Windows side, but if I have 10.7 installed, will it work right? I'm confused

IME driver is one of the very most important. TPM is only needed if you plan on using it. If you don't know what it is, then probably don't need it.
Quote
Please tell me in detail what drivers do what functions and which ones need to install ?
Most of them are pretty self explanatory. Unless you set the SATA controller to AHCI mode when the OS was installed, RST isn't going to do much.
Like Henry said. Everything is on the install disc that came with the mainboard you need, including the ones you don't need. It's even got a 'total install' selection.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.

  • Need help with Installing Canon LBP 2900B on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8

    I know this is going to sound silly, but really need help with this, URGENTLY!!!
    Bought a Canon LBP2900B printer more than a year ago, and was using it on my MacBook Pro with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6.8) very well. My hard disk recently crashed and now I cannot reinstall the printer, nor can I find the driver for it anywhere for the Mac.
    Have searched all the forums and followed all discussion threads on the Apple Communities as well, but none of the solutions seem to work. Even went back to @Dexter's solution with trying to download the file from the link http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip (this is what I had done when I bought the printer, and it worked perfectly) but the link doesn't exist anymore.
    Extremely grateful if anyone can put up a solution to this, or alternatively, IF ANYONE HAS THE OLD CAPT.ZIP FILE AND CAN UPLOAD IT.
    Thanks in advance. Look forward to your solutions.
    Cheers

    Depends on how the partitons are arranged. If they're exactly as quoted, then yes.
    Open Disk Utility and select the partition tab.
    In the diagram, the top partition needs to be the one you're booted from, and partition 2 the middle one.
    Select Partiton 2 so that it's highlighted, and click the '-' button below the diagram.
    Drag the bottom right corner of partition 1 down to meet partition 3.

  • Need help with installing Yahoo style flash menu CS5

    I downloaded the Yahoo style menu bar from the the available widgets.  I got the menu bar to show in Dreamweaver, but need help:
    I have trouble understanding how to use the f-source  flash editor to edit the links.
    I don't seem to be able to drop the  f-source.com button from the menu bar.
    The bar  shows up as a tiny bar in IE8, not as I had programmed it in the widget programmer.
    I was instructed to Insert ==> f-source menus ==> Edit menu in Dreamweaver.  Doing this leads to the following message: "Install at least one f-source menu'.  I did install the f-source-UI G file in the Adobe Extension Manager CS5.  What else needs to be installed?  
    My OS is Windows7 and I am working with Dreamweaver CS5.  Please help.
    Thanks,

    Flash menus (Flash navigation, period) is a terrible thing from a functional standpoint. It looks really nice, but the honeymoon ends there. As far as SEO goes, your entire site, beyond the landing page, is invisible. A search robot will only see an embeded Flash object.
    You have to ask yourself a basic question.
    1. What is the purpose of building a website and putting it online?
    If it's for your own personal enjoyment and nothing more, then a Flash menu may be for you. If it's for a business or band, or a political group or social group, and you want people to be able to find it in Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc. then you want as many indexible links as possible on your landing page so they will show up in related searches like schedules, articles, galleries, etc.

  • Need help with installing old version of firmware

    I would like to revert to an old version of firmware for my Airport Extreme base station. I have read in a number of postings that this would possibly help with the problem of my Canon Pixma ip3000 not working after the firmware was usdated. When I tried to install the old firmware, the Installer would not allow it, there was just a message that the software was up to date. Could anyone please give a step by step description of how this can be done? Is there a way around the Installer? Thanks.

    The firmware supplied with the base station was 4.1. After installing it, everything worked just fine, including wireless printing to a Canon Pixma ip3000. At one point, after being prompted by a message onscreen to upgrade to 4.2, I did the download and installation, and that is when all the problems started. No wireless printing, and I can't seem to use the Airport Admin or Assistant (not responding). Since then I have also upgraded the OS to 10.4.5.
    I am trying to downgrade to 4.1 since that is what worked initially and what was suggested in another posting I read.
    I did look at the information for the various parts of Airport and noticed that the Setup Asistant is 4.2, the Admin Utility is 4.2 and the base station is 5.5.1. Could this be affecting the problem as well?
    I will try downgrading using the link you provided. Thanks very much.

  • Need help with Installing Flash 9

    First off, let me apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I couldn't really find a forum for my specific need.
    I was running Flash 8 just fine, but then a video requested that I update to Flash 9, because that's the only way the video would play.
    So I tried installing the PPC version, and right at the last file it needs to finish installing a window pops up saying "ERROR CREATING FILE, 1008:5,-5000 Access denied error."
    Now all flash files won't work on my browser.

    Did you enable "root user" according to "Mac Help" or did you set up a new user in the system preferences? If you did it according to Mac Help, then Flash should have been installed correctly. Did you try the other option first? That option, if it worked, would have installed Flash into the current user. How many different users do you have?
    Post back if you still need help, maybe someone else will pick up on this that is better than I am about such problems.
    Sorry that I haven't been much help.

  • SCCM Driver Injection : What am I missing? Need help with getting drivers installing correctly in my environment.

    Everyone,
    I'm not new to using SCCM, but i'm VERY new to setting up and managing it.  I have just laid it down for the school district that I manage, and i'm loving it.  Imaging is going great, all but one thing now...drivers installing.
    Let me tell you what I've been doing, so hopefully a kind soul out there can tell me where my logic of the driver "injection" process is lacking and might can fill in some gaps. 
    I downloaded all drivers pertaining to the 7-8 series of computers we have in our environment currently, and imported them based on a criteria such as this:
    x86.LenovoEdge71.Desktop
    x86.DellOpti755.Desktop
    so forth and so on
    I created packages based on the same exact naming scheme.  I update my distribution point at the end of the import, and all the drivers/packages/categories are in place.  When I go to Monitoring/Distribution Status/Content Status, all of my packages
    show up , but under targeted it says 0.
    My thoughts from reading online, is I upload all these drivers and during my task sequence where it says it's "applying device drivers" it's set to "install only the best matched compatible drivers" and "consider drivers from all
    categories".  I also checked "do unattended installation of unsigned drivers no versions of Windows where this is allowed".
    so correct me if my thinking is incorrect, it should search through all series of the computers we have in our environment and grab the best drivers from the overall database.  Is this not right?
    The reason I ask this, is we have a few hundred HP 6000 Pro desktops.  WHen I image them, it comes up with 2 unknown devices.  OF these, I can manually point them at the folder from which I uploaded the drivers for this series/category and it installs
    100% successfully...MANUALLY.  What's the reasoning behind this?
    I can't help but think there's something missing in my process / logic and I need to be set straight. 
    Can someone out there tell me what i'm doing wrong?  We're planning a district-wide re-imaging before summer's over, and the clock's ticking...but the drivers being installed are all that's keeping us from starting our migrations.
    Any help on this is GREATLY appreciated, thank you very much!

    You have setup everything correct, but for your desired result you need to use "Apply Driver Package" Task rather than "Auto Apply Drivers".
    Auto Apply drivers will install the best matched/compatible drivers for only the PNP devices.For more info on this:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680990.aspx
    Whereas "Apply Driver Package" would install all drivers you have in the package and hence you don't see the unknown drivers in device manager. For more info on this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680403.aspx
    If you have multiple models, create this task for each model individually and then associate with a WMI query condition under Options tab to check the manufacturer/model
    Example: Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem where Manufacturer = "HP" and Model Like "6000%"

  • Need HELP with installing snow leopard!!

    I am trying to install snow leopard on my one year old iMac. Install is successful. Restate works. But then I get the spinning wheel with a blank screen. No dock...no hard drive icon...nothing. I reminded from the disc twice and still the same thing. Help!!! Need suggestions.

    Before you go off and buy anything I suspect your machine came with Leopard on it (V10.5.x) and you bought your machine during the transition time where Snow Leopard (10.6.x) just came out and Apple was giving upgrades to customers buying during the transition. If that is the case your machine should work fine with the 10.6.x disc you were provided. You should have received a 10.5.x and 10.6.x disc if that is the case, you can easily tell by looking at the media.
    Click on the Apple symbol in the upper left of your screen and see what version of OS X is loaded on your system. If it's 10.5.x then you know you're on Leopard. If you want to upgrade to Snow Leopard there are some things every user should do prior to upgrading. First is BACKUP your system either using Time Machine or create a clone using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. A backup is the #1 priority.
    Next then you can simply pop the Snow Leopard 10.6.x disc in your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. If for some reason it doesn't work then contact Apple.

  • Need help with installing Symbol so student can graduate

    After using OS X exclusively for the last 5 years, I now find that I need to use Framemaker on OS 9 in order to help a student of mine finish his thesis. I've installed Framemaker, but when I try to run it, it says it's missing the Symbol font, then quits. I have no idea why it's missing, and for the life of me, I can't remember how to install a font in OS 9.
    Can anyone tell me where I can find an OS 9 compatible version of the Symbol font, and how to install it?

    Hi, Gary, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Symbol is a standard font that's normally installed with OS 9. Many people don't use it, so it is often trashed. If you don't have access to a computer that is running OS 9 and has the font installed on it, you can extract a copy from the Installer Tome on any OS 9 installer CD using TomeViewer. Once you've done so, place it in the Fonts folder inside OS 9's System Folder, restart the Mac, and it should be available in the Fonts menu of all your OS 9 applications.
