Should I download a driver?

I have had only one problem with my Neo Platinum since building my pc.  I only loaded the drivers and such that came with the mb.  The only problem that I have had, as some know, is that BF:V freezes on me everytime I play it.
So, should I get newer drivers?
Which one should I get?
Do you know where I can get some beginner's instructions on installing them?
I know I have asked this before, but knowbody seemed to reply.
Thanks

painiac...when you load the drivers from your MSI CD...load the DirectX drivers first. Shutdown your computer, then restart and finish loading the drivers from your video card driver CD. Also, you may want to load the latest DirectX 9.0 version- b - I think!!

  • Need to download Mac driver (OSX Mavericks) for LaserJet P1005

    I am visiting a home that has a HP LaserJet P1005.   I need to install the driver on my MacBook Pro Retina using OSX (the latest version: Mavericks).  The owner of the printer has an install disk for the driver but these new MacBook Pros no longer have an internal optical drive.  So I need to download the driver from the internet.  The printer is now out of warranty, not that it should matter.  The HP site says to get the driver from Apple using Software Update but Apple does not have it.  The HP site says if Apple does not have the driver that the older driver on your computer will work - but I don't have that.   So I have not been able to find any support post that helps me.  I tried calling the 800 number and was on hold waiting for half an hour before I gave up.  Please help!  I need to print some documents in the next few days before year end.  Thanks.

  • Cannot boot into Windows XP, should I replace hard drive?

    THE PROBLEM: I have not been able to boot into or use Windows XP (SP2) for almost 3 years. I have been using Linux instead for 3 years and am using it now. The Windows Recovery process only half works, it works up until you have to boot up the computer from the hard drive. Then it no longer works. The computer will load the files from the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD that came new with the computer onto the hard drive. But when you get to the point of booting off the hard drive, with newly added Windows & Toshiba files, nothing happens. It does not boot up into Windows XP. In fact I can see the newly added Windows & Toshiba fileson the hard drive when I boot into Linux (Live) off the hard drive.
    THE HARD DRIVE (Specs below): I ran a SMART Data check using a Linux (Ubuntu) Disk utility on the hard drive and it passed everything except for Reallocated Sector Count. There are 20 bad sectors. I called the Toshiba 800 # on the DVD and they told me that the problem may be the hard drive. A new TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD costs $40. Toshiba also said there is no Windows XP Recovery Console on the DVD. 
    CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM: I think, and TOSHIBA agreed it is either the hard drive or corrupteD files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD
    POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS: I have found a couple of sites that seem to have instructions for making a  Windows XP Recovery Console CD. And I have thought I might try to run some Windows XP Recovery Console commands  from such a CD, such as fixboot, fixmbr, etc. The try to see if I can boot into Windows XP from the hard drive. If I can, then that might suggest he problem is corrupted files on the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD. If I still cannot boot into Windows, then maybe I should replace the hard drive. This should be very easy to do.
    QUESTION(S): Does anybody have any comments or suggestions? Does my approach sound good? Do you have any other suggestions?
    I have a TOSHIBA Satellite L25 S1216 that I bought new in early 2006. It has a 40 GB (5400 RPM) Enhanced IDE (ATA-6) 9.5 mm height hard disk drive in it. User removable, i.e., it is easy to replace.
    Thank you,
    Bob
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    My plan is to try to use the TOSHIBA Recovery and Applications/Drivers DVD to load the WIndows XP files onto the hard drive, then use the Windows XP Recovery console CD I downloaded from here
    http://www.proposedsolution.com/downloads/download​-windows-recovery-console/ 
    by using commmands such as fxmbr, fixboot, etc to see if I can get the computer to boot up into Windows XP.
    Good plan, Bob!
       Description of the Windows XP Recovery Console for advanced users
    A backup plan would be to obtain a Windows XP installation CD from eBay or wherever. They are super cheap now. Then you could install Windows clean and add the drivers and utilities from the website here. Or you could use it to repair-install Windows.
       How to Perform a Windows XP Repair Install
    You are entitled to activate Home Edition for free. I understand that even after Microsoft no longer supports Windows XP (in April), they will honor activation attempts.
    I wouldn't mess with SSDs. And stick with IDE PATA drives. You won't need to worry about advanced-format technology since that didn't come along until the very recent SATA drives. Your BIOS should support 120GB (KB303013).  Some here.

    It's important to keep in mind that the picture files are NOT stored in the Organizer. They are not stored in Lightroom or Bridge either...
    The organizer is based on a catalog which stores the pictures properties, mainly the location of the pictures on your drive(s). It's the same idea of catalogs in Lightroom, and the nice thing is that Lightroom can convert organizer catalogs to its own format. The most obvious way for you will be to use Lightroom.
    Bridge is a file browser which is a different way than to use catalogs.

  • Error 0xE0000235 when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.

    Unfortunately, Error 0xE0000235 occurs when trying to download a driver onto Windows SBS 2008 64-bit Standard FE.
    I am installing the GV 800 GeoVision 32/64Bit 16CH Video Capture Card onto the server.
    Please urgently assist.
    Answer in clear English. Cryptic answers not welcome. Yes...I know you are an intelligent, highly valuable expert on the world's leading edge technology.

    Hi, I'd like to inform you that the error code 0xE0000235 refers to "Error in WOW64". This can be caused by corrupted or incompatible driver of the Video Capture Card. Similar issue may also occur on other driver on other operating system and I don't think
    this can be caused by SBS2008 blocking the driver.
    I suggest you contact with GeoVision Technical Support (http://www.geovision.com.tw/english/4_0.asp) and see if their driver should work on SBS2008 and make sure that you have downloaded
    latest driver from their site:

  • GT70 2OD downloads bios driver firmware

    i have GT70 2OD-019US
    i tried to update my graphic card driver from  http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OD.html#download
    it didnt work it said not compatiable
    im using latest beta driver from nvidia webiste
    you guys have right stuff on the website
    there is so much variation i didnt see GT70 2OD-019US link so i guess i could use downloads from GT70 20D
    maybe im wrong
    download was hard to find and stuff not working
    support sucks

    Quote from: spacealien on 17-September-13, 04:21:57
    im confused just as you are.
    I like to keep my stuff updated to the latest so i went to nvidia website
    download the driver for geforce gtx 780m
    i tried to install the driver but it wont let me install cuz it's not compatible with my card
    so i went to the link above download the oem graphic card driver which im not too clear it's right one for my laptop
    cuz it's doesn't say gtx 780 it says something like nvidia n14 chipset i have no idea what it mean
    i installed it cuz that's all i can find for my laptop. it let me install but my geforce card doesn't work
    my laptop switch over to intel graphic card and my nvidia card has red x on it under device tree
    fortunately i found the latest beta nvidia work on my laptop otherwise i could ended up with non working video card 
    the title
    all the downloads im not sure they are right stuff for my laptop
    i updated bios, firmware, and some of the driver
    they are working so far i haven't found any problem with them
    the graphic card driver make me think that maybe the stuff i updated might not be right for my laptop
    im confused with many gt 70 series
    http://www.nvidia.com/object/notebook-win8-win7-64bit-326.80-beta-driver.html
    Try that driver.
    The problem with the 320.49 'release' drivers is that they don't include the proper information to work with the newer GTX7XXM video cards on MSI laptops. You need to download the latest beta drivers, as they have the proper information to work. The next release, whatever that might be, should work just fine then.
    As far as the other drivers...
    http://www.msi.com/product/nb/GT70-2OC.html#download
    should have all the drivers you need. You can try going to the individual manufacturer website to update them too, such as Intel for the Intel iGPU.

  • Trouble downloading the driver for my windows patron

    I have downloaded windows 7 onto my mac (version 10.7.5), and on my windows side, i am unable to connect to the internet because the computer does not detect a driver for my network adapter. i have been told to download the driver from the mac os installation that comes with the apple computer, but the new apple computers do not come with the installation dvd anymore.. is anyone able to help me with this? :/

    Hi:
    Your notebook came with FreeDos, and HP only supports their consumer PC's with drivers for the current Windows operating system in effect at the time of the notebook's production, which currently is Windows 8.
    I cross-referenced the hardware in your model with the hardware in slightly older HP 2000's, and all of the W7 x64 drivers and software from this model should also work on yours.

  • OSX 10.5.8: Should I download Xcode 3.1.4 or install it from the 10.5 DVD?

    Hi there. My Hard Drive recently failed and now I need to reinstall Xcode. (Yes, my important data was backed up, thanks for asking!). I have upgraded OSX back to 10.5.8. Should I download and install Xcode 3.1.4 or install Xcode 3.0 from my 10.5 Install DVD?
    Just want to be sure before I wait for that 1GB download
    Thanks!

    What version xcode were you running before?
    Apple’s dev center only links to the latest version of Xcode, which requires Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6.x).
    Since you’re running an older OS, you need to go to this alternative developer website:
    http://connect.apple.com/
    Log in with your ADC credentials, click “Downloads”, then click “Developer Tools” in the right sidebar, and then search the page for “3.1.4″. You might also want to check the wikipedia list of xcode versions to see if 3.1.4 is still the latest version.

  • Where should I put JDBC driver for MySQL

    I am trying to connect MySQL with JDBC 2.0 API. I have downloaded the driver file mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin. Where should I put this driver to make it run ?
    According to mysql.org, it says "Put mysql.jar in your classpath". I am confuse by classpath. Is it same as the path ? or is another system variable.
    thanks for clear my doubt. ^_^

    it is a different variable, but also in the same file (autoexec.bat) as path;
    set CLASSPATH=%classpath%;C:\JDK1.3.0_02\bin;c:\path\mm.mysql-2.0.4-bin

  • PhotoSmart A646 & Windows 8 "Need to download the Driver"

    I am attempting to install the drivers for my Photosmart A646 on my new laptop that has Windows 8.1 installed. When I try to install the software I get a pop-up that says I need to go get the driver and install it. I click on the Get Driver button and I get directed to HP.com. I select the Windows 8.1 64-bit driver and am able to download the driver. When I double click the file I just downloaded, I get the same pop-up stating that I need to go get the driver. I repeat the process and am directed to the same location. I get stuck in a loop and can't get the printer drivers loaded, so I can't use the printer.

    I have been successful installing my HP photosmart A646 on my new Asus laptop with Windows 8.1 and an Intel i7 processor!
    In order for my technique to work, you will have to locate your printer driver file folder on your previous machine’s hard drive and transfer the folder with the enclosed files to your new machine using a thumb drive or by mounting your old hard drive as an external drive.
    There appear to be two issues to overcome when trying to load the new drivers. First, the website download is broken and it locks you in a loop. This is overcome by using the old drivers already installed on your previous windows vista or windows 7 machine. Second, the drivers from the previous machine fail the windows 8.1 driver signing process, so they need to be installed manually using an advanced startup mode trick. Lastly, once all is set up, whenever you plug in and turn on your machine, it appears to windows 8.1 initially as an external drive. If you eject the drive, your printer will act as a printer.
    If you have already attempted to install the printer, it may be showing up on your Devices and printer screen as a device. REMOVE IT before you begin this process. Your printer should not be connected to your computer as you begin this process. Also, consider printing these instructions as your computer will restart during this procedure.
    You will need to perform an advanced restart of your new Windows 8.1 machine in order to disable driver signature enforcement. This will allow you to use the windows Vista/7 drivers. This procedure is detailed in http://www.fotoclubinc.com/blog/how-to-disable-driver-signature-enforcement-to-allow-installation-of... . I take no credit for it; all I did was find it! This advanced restart is a one time only event, and makes no permanent change to your machine.
    Begin the procedure by opening the charms bar (right hand bar that appears when you swipe a touch screen from the right or click on the right upper or lower corner.)
    Select the spyglass search icon and type in ‘advanced startup’. Select the   ‘change advanced startup options’ icon that appears.
    In the Update and recovery screen that appears, choose the ‘restart now’ option under the Advanced startup heading.
    The next screen will say ‘Choose an option.’ Select the ‘Troubleshoot’ icon.
    At the Troubleshoot screen, select the ‘Advanced options’ icon.
    At the Advanced options screen, select the ‘Startup settings’ icon.
    At the Startup settings screen, select the ‘Restart’ button.
    Your machine will restart at this time. You should see the blue ‘Startup settings’ screen. Press either F7 or 7 to select the ‘Disable driver signature enforcement’ option. If you wait too long, the machine will shut off, and you will need to restart at #3 above.
    Sign on as you normally would.
    Use the charms bar search icon to search for ‘control panel.’ Choose the control panel icon to navigate to it.
    Select ‘View devices and Printers’ under the Hardware and sound section heading if you use the category view for control panel. Alternatively, select the ‘Devices and Printers’ icon if you use the traditional icon view for the control panel.
    Choose the ‘Add a printer’ option at the top of the Devices and Printers screen. It is directly below the address ribbon at the top of the window.
    A pop up appears as the machine attempts to find your printer. Select ‘The printer that I want isn’t listed’ in the lower part of the pop up box.
    In the Find a printer by other options box that appears, select ‘Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings’ radio button.
    In the Choose a printer port box, select the ‘Use an existing port’ radio button and choose ‘USB001 (virtual printer port for USB)’; press ‘Next.’
    The Install printer driver box now appears. Your thumb drive with your printer information folder needs to be plugged in before proceeding further. Once it is mounted and recognized, select ‘Have Disk’ at the bottom of the box, then press ‘Next.’
    At the next box, select ‘Browse’ and navigate to the printer information folder on your thumb drive. The file locator should help you select ‘hpvq03.inf’ from your Hpvqc03.inf_amd64_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx folder. Then press the ‘Open button.’ You will be returned to the previous screen. Press the ‘OK’ button to continue. Now press ‘Next.’
    At the ‘Which version of the driver do you want to use?’ screen, select the ‘Replace the current driver’ radio button, then press ‘Next.’
    At the next screen, you can leave the printer name as listed, or change it, if you prefer.
    At the Printer sharing screen, I chose the “Do not share this printer’ radio button.
    The next screen should say ‘You’ve successfully added HP Photosmart A640 series 2.’ Plug your printer into USB port and to power and turn it on.
    When you power up your printer, it will likely present itself to your computer as if it is an external drive. If it does, it is important that you use the file explorer (reach this by navigating to the PC desktop and choosing ‘This PC’ or by using the charm search function and typing ‘file explorer’) to right click on the external drives and eject them. Once you have ejected the thumb drive and the printer (that your machine recognized as an external drive), you should be able to use the printer in a normal fashion.
    I can’t promise this will work for you, but it did for me. Best of luck.

  • I have an IMAC I bought from a friend.  I think he wiped it clean.  I tried to go to panasonic to download a driver for my camcorder.  It put an icon on my desktop that is setup-1.exe  when I try to open it, it says I don't have a program to open it with.

    I tried to download a driver from Panasonic for my camcorder.  It puts an Icon on my desktop that is called set-up1.exe.  when I try to open this I get an error message that says I don't have a program to open it.  any suggestions.  Also, I tried to download the latest ITunes.  It put an Icon on my desktop but won't let me open it or run it.

    In general, you don't need drivers for camcorders on Macs, and the .exe file you downloaded is a Windows program, which won't run on a Mac unless you also have Windows installed.
    It would help a lot if you tell us the exact model camcorder you are using, and what application you want to use it with.
    Regarding iTunes, the latest version is iTunes 11.  You need to have OS X 10.6.8 or later to install iTunes 11.  Your profile says you have OS X 10.4.11, which is a much older version of OS X, so you won't be able to install iTunes 11.  (Here are the iTunes 11 specs.)
