Lenovo A540 802.11n WLAN adapter won't install

Hi All I have a Lenovo A540 which has had Windows 7 Pro installed, all is OK except the Wireless adapter, Device manager shows it's not installed but whenever I run the driver install h101046 downloaded from Lenovo it errors. I get a message with "Realtek has stopped working" details are below, anyone know of another driver or why the driver won't install. Problem signature:Problem Event Name: BEXApplication Name: ScanAdapter.exeApplication Version: 1.0.0.4Application Timestamp: 5109d217Fault Module Name: ScanAdapter.exeFault Module Version: 1.0.0.4Fault Module Timestamp: 5109d217Exception Offset: 0001fb56Exception Code: c0000417Exception Data&colon; 00000000OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48Locale ID: 2057

hi Ace_Rimmer
Just to check, have you tried re-downloading the driver and installing it again?
If that doesn't work, can you try these steps:
1. Download this A540 Wireless Driver - Win7 x64.zip and extract it on the desktop. When done, run the setup.exe inside and observe.
2. If same problem, open Device Manager > Other Devices > Network Controller (right click) then choose: Update driver software > Browse my computer for driver software and point it to the A540 Wireless Driver folder on the desktop then hit ok to manually install the driver.
Let me know how it goes.

802.11n enabler won't install on 10.5.3

Greetings,
I just did a system re-install (upgraded my HD) today. When I was still running Tiger, I bought and installed the 802.11n enabler. Today, the enabler won't install. I am now running OS 10.5.3. I made sure the appropriate Airport Extreme updates are applied.
The error message I get is "You cannot install AirPort Extreme 802.11n Enabler on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
Any ideas?

Very simple, thanks very much.
A nicer error message could have been "enabler not necessary, 802.1n is functional under Leopard."
Thanks again!

Why won't Airport Extreme 802.11n software install?

I recently bought an Airport Extreme 802.11n from a friend who replaced it with a Time Machine, and as the first step in installing it, I loaded the software disk into my MacBookPro. When I tried the install, I got a warning that the software could not be installed on my machine because the "version of OS X is not supported". I am running Snow Leopard, so I checked the Apple support site to see if there is a download that would fix the problem. I did update my OS, but that did not help. Right now the Airport Extreme is a doorstop! Any ideas?
Jay

Why won't Airport Extreme 802.11n software install?
Because a newer version of it is part of Mac OS X 10.6. If the base station doesn't work properly or at all with the included software, post back.

Any idea on how 802.11n software updater work?

Hi,
I have PB-G4 and just read on macworld that apple has released a 802.11n software updater. This enables 802.11n wireless network on your macbook pro or imacs, basically hardware with intel dual core. Does anyone knows if I how this upgrade works? Can I use this updater on PB-G4?
Best regards,
Brilty

This updater works by adding computer code to the machine which enables the use of 802.11n functions that are already present in the hardware. It cannot be used on your PowerBook or with any Mac that doesn't have the hardware components needed to use 802.11n on the built-in card.

Update available for firefox 3.6.12 but won't install;says connection timed out

I've had firefox 3.6.12 for a couple of months. it says an upgrade is available, but won't install. says connection timed out. I tried it from IE 8 as well, same result. Took me a half our just to get to mozilla.com I installed IE 8 2 days ago, and since then, my monitor flashes the page when i'm in gmail. Also flash videos won't play worth a crap. I just installed K-lite Mega 6.6 to try to fix that.

I wonder if it's not some of the newer technologies like HTML 5 that the other browsers support. I have the same problem, and the sites load fine in Opera. I still have 3.6 (whatever's latest), and haven't upgraded to 4 yet because of all the extensions I use. I'm waiting until it's more stable and my more important extensions are usable. I use Hulu's desktop viewer and Opera to make up for it, currently.
Adding screenshots of my experience with it. The text will load, but no video or images. That's why I thought it might be some new language / protocol.

I am trying to install Mavericks on my McbookAir, but it won't install, saying that my hd is used for time machine backups. I have an external HD connected to my mbAir that I'm using for time machine.

2012 Macbk air, with OSX 10.8.5. See my question above. Mavericks won't install on my Air's HD, says that both the HD - AND - the external HD (which has a different name from the laptop HD) are used for time machine backups. I've deleted my time machine plists, restarted, repaired permissions, turned time machine off, repeatedly selected the external drive in time machine preferences. HELP. (Install went perfectly on my desktop Mac, which also has an external HD for time machine).

I need to add that the only place I have the "Backups.backupdb" folder is on my backup external disk, and it's not on my HD :-( . If it were, I'd delete it!

5.3.1 in Software Update; Won't Install

I'm updating a computer to the latest software. It has AirPort Utility 5.2.2. Software Update shows the 5.3.1 update, but it won't install. When I launch a downloaded 5.3.1 updater, it shows no qualifying volumes. It seems that the updater only works with a computer that already has AirPort Utility 5.3. It strikes me as bizarre that Software Update shows an update that can't be installed on the computer.
By the way, the 5.3.1 update seems to be really an updater rather than a complete replacement for the application. It's only 1/4th the size of the application itself.

Some corrections to my prior post:
1) I tried again and was able to install AirPort 5.3.1 on that computer from the stand-alone updater. It's possible that earlier I was trying to install the Tiger version by mistake.
2) Maybe 8.8MB IS enough for a complete installation of the AirPort Utility...
The issue still stands of why Software Update presented an update that it wasn't able to install.

Software updates won't install. HELP.

My software updates (e.g., Adobe Flash, Amazon MP3 Downloader) download but won't install. The installation just stalls at the beginning. What is the problem, and how can I fix it?

Exactly which iMac do you have, and what version of OS X?

Tried to install Firefox 14.0.1. Won't install, says I need XP, but I have XP.

Downloaded Firefox 14.0.1. Would not install. Got message: "This version of Firefox requires Microsoft Windows XP SP2 or newer."
I have dial-up and it took an hour to load, now it won't install. Very frustrating, particularly as I have Windows XP. Why won't it load?
Thank you.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in compatibility mode.
You can open the Properties of the Firefox desktop shortcut via the right-click context menu and check the "Compatibility" tab.
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.

802.11n Airport Express won't connect to Internet

Hi,
I have recently purchased a new 802.11n Airport Express which works fine with the Airport Utility, but will not connect to the internet through the Ethernet.
It is plugged directly from the cable model into the 802.11n via Ethernet.
I know that it is not the modem/internet service provider because when I pop my old 802.11b/g (model A1084) everything works fine, and I connect no problem.
The settings appear the same, but with the old model I get internet, with the 802.11n I get the flashing amber light. If I set it up manually, and input the same IP, Subnet Mask, and Router number that is working for the 802.11b/g model, I get the solid green light, but no internet.
Originally, I assumed I'd just picked up a lemon, so I exchanged it and I am getting the exact same results so I must be doing something wrong.
Any ideas?
I wanted to extend my network, but use the 802.11n as the internet input so I could take advantage of the faster speeds.

Welcome to the discussions!
You mentioned that you had a cable modem. Although the ISP will claim otherwise, in many cases it will take 20-30 minutes for a modem to completely reset. The reset is needed whenever you change the device that is directly connected to the modem.
Power down the modem and pull the battery if it has one. Power down the rest of the system as well.
Power up the modem first and let it run for 5-10 minutes, then the Express for a few minutes, then your computers.
Once you get things going, we can look into the next puzzle of extending the network. Please post back when you have the "green" light and internet.

802.11n for MacBook Pro Core Duo's no problem!

From a post on xlr8yourmac.com:
" So I was really ****** about only having G because of being an early adopter. So I started looking what could I do about it. Browsing the net, I found out that the new core2duo machines actually use a broadcom chip (Actually as mentioned here previously, the Core2Duo MacBook/MacBook Pros use the Atheros AR5008 Chip, although the Mac Pro uses a Broadcom chip (not sure on chip version no.) - the Apple 802.11n enabler supports both. See notes on Mac 802.11n page here.-Mike) and this chip is the same one in Dell Wireless 1500 adapters. (Dell notebook mini card)
I bought one of those Dell 1500 cards on ebay, (I searched google and found the Dell 1500 card for as low as $52.xx, although an ebay auction had over 100 of them at $90 "Buy it Now" price.-Mike) and using the great guides on ifixit, change the card on my machine.
(He didn't mention which CoreDuo Mac he had (Macbook? Macbook Pro? iMac? Mini?) but I'm assuming a Macbook or Macbook Pro since iFixit's guides don' t cover the intel-based Mini or iMac.-Mike)
On boot, the card is recognized (and even more stable than the older one). The enabler didn't want to work (wouldn't install I assume he means) on my system though. So I opened it in pacifist, (available here-Mike) and moved the file to the System folder, and magic! I have draft-N in my macbook coreduo
Hope you can publish this and it helps someone.
-Julian"

Just out of interest, where's the third attenna?
802.11n might work on the chip, but you won't get 11n
performance without the third attenna.

Ok, here is the scoop, I installed the AirPort Card from a Mac Pro and it works fine. I do have an issue with my Verizon DSL router Westell 327W. It does not like the new card. So I can not connect to it. On the other hand the AirPort Express and the new Mac Pro card in the MacBook Pro love each other. The range is unbeliveable! I am reluctant to update to the 802.11n enabler right now since reading all the problems with it in the other discussions.
I am going to disable the wireless feature in the Verizon router and hard wire a connection to the AirPort Express and see how that works...
So MacBook Pro (Core Duo) first generation can be updated to take advantage of 802.11n.

802.11n Enabler won't install

I have a 2-week old MBP Core 2.
When I run the installer I get;
You cannot install...on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update.
The installer reports 90.5GB Free on my only HD; the software requires 112KB.
Anybody else had this problem, or know where I'm going wrong?
MBP Pro 2.33, 2GB, 160GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks to all - the 7.4MB Airport Extreme Update did it;
So, why didn't Apple either fold the update into the enabler download, or hire someone that can build an installer that checks and advises on prerequisites? Every other software company, M$ included, seem to have lots of people that can do this
As a recent switcher I'm not impressed with Apple's approach to this update.
A bonus is that the update has fixed a problem I had connecting to my Linksys WRT300N. Before today I had to turn Airport off/on to recover the connection to the router, every 5mins or so.
I'd just add that I've had the WRT300N for about 6mths or so and it's been the single most frustrating piece of kit I've ever used at home or work.
