Clearing out duplicate drivers for a specific Hardware ID

I've been struggling for a while to get a driver that works for an old model of network card. I had added in various drivers from the vendors website, and now the hardware vendor has supplied me with an older version of the driver that they expect will work.
Now, I would like to find all the drivers for a specific hardware ID in MDT and clear them out, and then add in the one that I have from the vendor.
What's the best way to do this, please?
One option that I found was this script which highlighted duplicate or superseded drivers for MDT - but the script is now longer available from the link in the article and I can't find copies of it with google. Would anyone know of anything similar?

Of course, if there's an easier way to do it, that would be even better!

I have encountered several people complaining about the tool not working.
USe at your own risk: :)

When MDT opens drivers that it *knows* are dupes due to identical CRC checksums, it will postfix a "(1)" to the directory/name. I would start looking at these first.

How to find out a lot for a specific stock posting?

Dear Friends
In our system every day 3 times rej posting ( and ok qnty posting) is done and 3 lots are supposed to be cleared for 3 consecutive shifts A, B, C. Now I found on 2.9.2009, 4 rej postings are done in mb51, (The unmatched rej qntity is X) rej storage.But I found only three lots are cleared from qa32.
I found that none of these 3 lots have rej qnty/ok qnty as X
So there must be a fourth lot that was cleared on 2nd sep but created on some other date. Can u tell me how to find out this lot?
Can I find out inspection lot no from material doment created due to stock posting in mb51?
In qa32 we can find production order number, but can i find order confirmation number from qa32?
Thanks
Chandra

Hi Chandra
It is very muxh possible to view the Inspection lot from the Material document if know either through MB51 or MIGO
Enter material document number>at the bottom there is QTy tab>Here you will find "Status Gr Doc" Inspection lot.
Also
Just check the Material document's mvt type for Qty X it may not be 321.......Revert back
This document may be generated due to additional mvt done in US screen.

Does Mac have any plans to create and/or update drivers for multi-media hardware that is useless to me after "upgrading" to Mavericks? This is a waste of money for free..

I have found that since I "upgraded" to Mavericks, many pieces of audio hardware that was compatable with snow leopard is not compatable with mavericks. these machines are supposed to be the best for multi-media, now, without any warning, Mac has really messed this up. What are they thinking. I just converted from PC. Was it a $3000 mistake. MAC....Get BUsy, It can't be that hard to create some drivers that are compatable with common and popular pieces of hardware needed to do the projects I bought this thing for!!!!

similar problem here. running the latest 13 inch mbpr and ableton live software, mavericks obvsly.
experiencing crashes only with external soundcards attached. it happened with a usb interface (NI audio 2 dj) and with a echo audiofire 2 (firewire through thunderbold adapt.)
keyboard and trackpad got unresponsive after the crash with the usb interface as they run on the usb buss I suppose.
This is interesting: If i m running usb or firewire interfaces plugged in to my thunderbold display at home - i get 0 problems. it just works 100%
so what does this tell us? is the hardware of the macbook defective?
but why does the FW interface crash then when attached to the computer directly and not if attached to the display?
this is extremely frustrating. basically my job is using this machine on stage and i cant use it. i m back to my 2007 macbook now running 10.6, thinking about getting a USED machine which was before mavericks and haswell - think these are the issues and what i would like to know:
WILL THERE EVER BE A FIX FOR THIS ON THE LATE 2013 MBPr??

How do I clear out multiple entries for a persons name in the Faces selection?

Can I get some help clearing up multiple entries in the "Click to Name" dialog box in iPhone 9.6?
Here's the behavior I'm seeing:
When I try to assign a name to a Face by clicking the "Click to Name" option, I start typing in my son's name and iPhone is showing me 15 entries for his name.
Of the 15 options, only 1 of them shows a mini-thumbnail photo of him, and a different one suggests that it's from the Contacts app, but the rest of them are blank.
This behavior is not happening for any of the other Faces in the library.
In terms of troubleshooting, I've opened Apple Contacts and ensured there is only 1 contact record for him (there are 2 email address listed). I've selected Library > Faces > And I see one polaroid image in the list for my son. In the past if there were multiple listings here I've seen similar results. I'm not sure what else to try.
What causes these to be duplicated?

I spoke with Apple Support today and they provided a workaround:
I had 7 entries for a person.
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 1
Find untagged photo with person in it. Select Entry 2
Repeat until you have at least 1 photo tagged with each of the 7 entries
Now go back to Faces and you'll see 7 polaroids listed.
Select each of them and merge them.
Problem solved.

Looking for non-specific hardware recommendations

Let's start by saying I am an avid amateur photographer who uses Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 4 on a Windows Laptop with the following specs:
Windows 7 Home Premiium
Intel i7 Q820 @ 1.73GHz
8G ram
750Gb hard drive 7200rpm
ATI Mobility Radeon HD4670
Bamboo pen tablet
Dell SP2009W 20" monitor as primary display - laptop screen as secondary display
While this functions fine for now, the more I learn and use Photoshop, the slower and more annoying my system is becoming. It is not uncommon for saving a single tiff file in PS to take 5 minutes. I am considering building a new computer. I am confident that I'm able to build a computer but the vast number of choices of hardware is where I get confused. Also, I don't know which components are most important to run PS the fastest.
I've read through a bunch of posts of people asking "Is this system any good for Photoshop" or "which video card is better 4xx or 5xx" etc. But that's not really what I need to know. Does anyone have general advice on what's most important to PS? RAM? GHz? Scratch disks?
Thanks in advance for any and all help/suggestions.

If you put a system together yourself around a motherboard you can create a near-monster for 3 grand.
A really potent combination might be a motherboard based on i7-37xx or i7-39xx (which has great core speed), 16GB RAM with room to grow, 4 x OCZ Vector 256GB SSDs in RAID 0 for the system, applications, and working data, plus a spinning HDD for lower-access data (e.g., your photo library), ATI Radeon HD 7850.
Another possibility (which is the path I usually take) is to find high-end just-off-lease workstations (like Dell Precisions) on eBay. Most folks don't realize that a previous generation system with all the highest-end parts can outperform the current generation designs with anything but the highest-end parts, and the price can be quite a bit less.
Just as an example: I've bought from these people before: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T5500-Dual-2x-Six-Core-6C-Xeon-2-80GHz-X5660-Quadro -4000-8-310-/251205144017?pt=Desktop_PCs&hash=item3a7cfe4dd1
You could ask to downgrade the Quadro 4000 video card to a base model, get your own e.g., ATI 7850, and spend the savings on SSDs.

I installed fresh Windows 7 and drivers for my PC hardware, after that I installed Mozilla Firefox 3.6. And I'm constantly getting this error "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding." I'm even getting that on this website.

I've only updated java and adobe flash player. So there is no extensions or anything, just fresh system and fresh browser installed. In error console it says next for example: "Error: Permission denied for <http://media.livepromotools.com> to call method Location.toString on ...any website..." And at this website it says this script is unresponsive when promt pops out: "Script: http://mozcom-cdn.mozilla.net/includes/min/min.js?g=js:36" or this one "Script: https://support.mozilla.com/media/js/common-min.js?build=3fabbc0:16" I've even reinstalled Windows, and same thing happens again :( Please help

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

How can I clear out "about:newtab" for privacy?

When I (or a visitor) enter "about:newtab", recently-visited sites are shown on the screen. I do not want my recently-visited sites shown. I want to remove this information from "about:newtab".

You can change the order of the boxes on the about:newtab page and drag an item to a different tile to pin it to that position or you can remove a website by clicking the close X to block that URL.<br />
You can drag a bookmark or history item and drop them in a tile on the about:newtab page to pin them and have your own favorites sites showing.
Changes made manually on the about:newtab page are stored in the browser.newtabpage.pinned (default = [null]) and browser.newtabpage.blocked prefs that you can check/modify on the about:config page.
You can create these Boolean prefs on the about:config page to prevent Firefox from generating thumbnails for the about:newtab page.
*name: browser.pagethumbnails.capturing_disabled with value: true
*name: pageThumbs.enabled with value: false
Delete the thumbnails folder in the Firefox profile folder to remove already stored web page thumbnails.

Cleaning/ clearing out my MacBook for better performance

How can I clean out some of the temporary files and/or cache from my MacBook 2008. I think it could be why it's slow sometimes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Check the status of your hard drive. Control click the hard drive icon and select Get Info. On the new pane, the critical numbers are Capacity and Available.
Empty the trash.
Delete emails you do not want and then go to Mailbox (in the menu bar) / Erase deleted items / In all accounts.
Safari / Empty cache.
p.s. Under no conditions should you use software that claims it will clean things up... macleaner, mackeeper, macsweeper, what ever it's called, you do not want to use it.

Drivers for T420, T420S, T430S and other musings...

First time poster here! Thanks! I like the Thinkpad series, but I do have some questions.
Drivers for T420, T420S, T430S...The drivers page for these models is confusing. We overwrite the image that comes factory for our thinkpads. So when I load Windows 7 there's still obviously a handfull of drivers you still need as well as maybe some of the options from Lenovo that "improves" functionality.
The confusion for me is around the network cards, wireless...LAN. The problem we have currently is that the previous image we made/deployed for our laptops contained a mix of conflicting drivers for wireless. I think I have it fixed on the new image but I want to make absolutely sure we're cool. We have a mix of both LAN, wireless LAN, and wireless WAN users that we support. At any rate, what might help is a list of all the specific drivers I need based on my full model number. Any takers out there for this one? I doubt this sort of list exists on their website. When I visit the Lenovo drivers page and search for and click on the link for my full model, i.e. T420s-xxxx, I get a multitude of networking driver options!
Also just curious, what are some of the non essential software from lenovo that you guys like on your systems? I hesitate to download it all but I think the Thinkconnections piece works very well for wireless to LAN switching...

I understand what you're saying. But when i type in the T420S-4171, there are mutliple network drivers. Are you telling me from top to bottom you download and install every single driver?
Sorry i wasn't clear, i meant the type, e.g. for my T420s its 4174-bz7. This brings up the configuration of your machine and a list of drivers for your specific hardware. You then choose based on your hardware - for some things e.g. WWAN there might be multiple hardware so you choose yours. You can check device manager if you are unsure.
The Type is on the sticker at the bottom of the laptop. See here for locating it: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/basic.page?DocID=HF002641

Drivers for Windows Vista 64-bit

Hi all -
I want to install Vista Ultimate 64-bit on my iMac intel 2.4GHz with 2GB of RAM. I read around that I will have to manually install the drivers for apple specific hardware. Does that include the apple keyboard (aluminum) and the mighty mouse? If so, where do I get the drivers from?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Steafan!
I followed the instructions on the site you gave me and its successfully installed the ATI driver. However, using system profiler on my mac, it says my card is ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, but Vista now lists it as ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT. Is there any problems? On the other hand, the keyboard is giving me enough functionality, but some things still don't work, namely the number pad and eject key.
I also read on the net somewhere that the fans will not work? How can I verify that my fans are working?
Thanks,
Matt
PS I've only got a measley score of 4.8 on the windows performance rating...

Drivers for XP Pro

Hi I am new to the mac world so I am sorry if this question is entirely stupid but I have no clue what to do. I was able to set up the dual boot to the point where I have installed the XP program and can boot it. However when I try to set up the drivers as the installation guide suggests with the OSX installation disks I am given an error message with something like bit rate 64 will not be supported. Just wondering if there is anything I can do. For information sake I am running a Macbook Pro 13" with the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 OS and installed XP Professional x64 as the dual boot system.
Thanks

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
no stupid questions round here
Your "problem", so to speak, is that Apple has never supported XP 64-bit with any kind of BootCamp Drivers at all.
XP is only supported in 32-bit and 64-bit is only supported for Windows Vista and Windows 7
So, simply said, there are no drivers for XP 64-bit on the OSX installation disc.
Therefor you can either try and search yourself for the XP 64-bit drivers on the various hardware manufacturer websites (but you won't find any drivers for Apple-specific hardware like the Trackpad for example) or you have to use a compatible Windows version.

Which drivers for K8N Neo 2 Platinum

I'm just about to place an order for a K8N Neo2 Platinum to go with my AMD 64 3000+ Winchester.
As is usual I normally download the latest relevant BIOS and drivers in advance so everything is ready to go when the hardware turns up.
However, looking at the MSI page, there seems to be a bewildering array of drivers for this board: Neo2 drivers and it's not exactly clear which ones are for my specific board.
For example, I can't seem to find a relevant SATA driver from the list.
The actual board I'm going for is this one from Overclock: link to board
Can anyone list clearly the drivers, BIOS and any other utilities I will need when installing this board?
Thanks.

Well after a lot of reading, I've determined that the following files are applicable to my board:
BIOS
BIOS: 7025v14.zip
Drivers
NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers: NF3_CK8S.zip
Marvell LAN Drivers: MarvellWXP69.zip
Realtek ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers: Realtek_ALCXXX_73.zip
I still can't seem to find a SATA/IDE driver as none of the ones listed are compatible with a Neo2 Platinum.
The closest I can find is the Nvidia nForce3 SATA/RAID driver for Windows 2K/XP but that is only for K8N Neo Platinum (7030).
Anyone know if this is the same driver for the Neo2 Platinum (7025) also?
Have I missed anything?
There are also lots of utilities, some of which appear to be useful, if not necessary:
Utilities
NVIDIA nTune: nTune_MB.zip
MSI DigiCell: DigiCell_MB.zip
MSI PC Alert 4: PCAlert4_MB.exe
MSI Core Center: CoreCenter_MB.exe
MSI Live Update: LiveUpdate.exe
Fuzzy Logic 4: FuzzyLogic.exe
MSI DMI Browser: DMIBrowser.exe
MSI i-Speeder: I-SPEEDER.exe
MSI WMI Info: WMIInfo.exe
MSI PasswordKeeper: PasswordKeeper.exe
MSI SecureDoc: SecureDoc.exe
MSI InfoView XP: InfoView.exe
MSI GoodMem: insgoodmem.exe
MSI Lockbox: LockBox.exe
Anyone care to comment on the usefulness (or not) of any of those utilities?

Ehternet XP drivers for new Macs

Hi, can anyone tell me where I can find out what make/model the network cards on the latest range of Macs are please? (I know the drivers are on the OS X DVD, but I need the .ini/.inf files not the .exe)
I know they used to be Yukon/Marvel/Broadcom... but which ones, and how can I get the actual driver files (again, not the .exe/setup etc)
Thanks

Have you tried installing XP and see if it will at least install a "Generic" set of video drivers?
Does XP install at all?
Do the 3rd party files just not install the drivers in XP?
The biggest problem would be the Apple drivers on the newer Apple install disk will only have W7 capable drivers for you hardware, and if you use a 10.6.x disk it might not have the hardware drivers for the newer hardware?
You might be able to download a video driver from another company but will XP see the other newer hardware in the iMac?
This?
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/previous/Pages/radeonaiw_xp.aspx
The descriptions do say XP. These also can install just the video drivers individually instead of the whole package.
