Bluetooth 3.0 Devices
Bluetooth 3.0 devices have in-box driver support in Win8. Systems with Bluetooth 3.0 will work in Windows 8, but you will notice that even with updated BIOS and all other drivers installed the wireless button LED status (indicating if the HW is enabled/disabled) may be out of sync with the wireless system status. This is a limitation.
Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP

Hello,
I have a mini 210-1080NR.  Due to a software problem I had to reinstall the OS. I now have Win 7 Prof working fine on it.  When trying to connect ot the Internet, I get the WLAN module is not present.  I tried installing the "SP48755" WLAN driver. It did not work.  I also opened the bottom cover, removed the WLAN module and reconnected to reseat and show a new piece of hardare was installed. This did not resolve the issue.
So, in Device Manager, the following problems display :
1 - Network Controller (apparently precents me from connecting to the Internet)
2 - Video Controller (no display issues, except my resolution only goes to 1024.
Per instructions of a Forum HP tech before, I went to the Details tab (first line) for both Network Controller and Video Controller and copied the Hardware IDs:
Network Controller: 
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C&REV_01
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&SUBSYS_145E103C
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4357&CC_0280
Video Controller:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A012&SUBSYS_3660103C&REV_00
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A012&SUBSYS_3660103C
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A012&CC_038000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_A012&CC_0380
I suspect the Video Controller issue will be resolved once I connect to the Internet and update the OS and hardware drivers.
Thanks in advance.

  • Resored envy dv6 notebook and windows 8 won't load i dont have the discs

    I bought an HP envy dv6 notebook used with Windows 8.  The person I bought it from did not remove her password or fingerprint scan, I was unable to reach them (i bought it out of state).  I did some research and found the best thing to do was a complete system restore - which i followed the directions and did.  I do not have the original driver disc.
    I am now in a contant loop where it comes up with the first password which I successfully changed but would like to remove.  When it starts to load the administrator it goes into a constant loop of Windows did not load properly. Restart the computer.  And I fo around and around,  I have tried everything I have found on here and many other sires and still I am unable to get it to work.
    I have a Windows 7 disc but I am afraid to even try it since I was told that the reset to factory settings would work and it doesn't I do not want to do anymore damage.
    I did notice that the born on date say 00/00/0000  I am not sure if that is part of the problem or not

  • Information regarding lenovo notebooks and windows 10

    hello everyone, i hava question regarding windows 10 and lenovo notebooks. i read the last news about window10 and i noticed that this new update of Ms will not be delivered by windows update but ms will provide us an iso for fresh installation. I guess that doing this ill lose all lenovo apps and customization is correct?will lenovo provide to his customers an iso? or a method for updating the system without loosing his customization? regards  

    Hello,
    Could you please provide a link to the article?  I haven't heard anything official yet announcing all the ways Windows 10 would officially be distributed, but I would imagine it would be delivered in multiple ways by Microsoft. The one I have heard the most about is the upgrade which installs over the existing operating system, while preserving programs and settings to the best of its ability.
    My guess would be that the Windows recovery partition would not be touched at all, since that is how previous Windows upgrades have worked.
    The Get Windows 10 app will tell you if there are known incompatible devices or software on your computer.  Information on how to check this can be found in this message.

  • Problems with Fingerprint Reader on Touchsmart TX2-1274NR Notebook and Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)

    I have just upgraded my tx2-1274nr to windows 7 ultimate (64-bit) [my university released the upgrade a week early] and I followed the directions provided by technical support and downloaded/installed all the updated drivers and software.  Everything works great (actually better than great) except for two problems.
    The fingerprint reader does not work. It shows up in the device manager, but when I try to register a fingerprint, Windows says no reader found.
    This problem is not really effecting the performance, but it states on the device stage that I am missing a driver for the keyboard filters?  I am not sure if this is important.
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I am really loving the new system, especially the multi-touch (installed the drivers from N-trig)!!
    Thanks

  • IMac not connecting to WPA wireless in OS X and Windows

    I recently purchased a 24" iMac and have had problems connecting to my roommates WPA wireless network. I used to be able to connect to a neighbors unsecured linksys and now thats gone too. I have never been able to use the shared WPA key to access the router, and I’ve read a bunch of similar stories as to why that doesn’t work. I know that I can access the wireless point with my Windows Notebook and decided to Install Windows via Bootcamp to see if I can get on that way.
    Nope. The Notifier in the system tray is just telling me that its 'acquiring network address" which means the WPA is correct....is this an internal WiFi card problem?
    Im sure this sounds like a repeat, so linking me to the appropriate sites for troubleshooting would help too.
    Thank you,
    Please advise....

    See if this helps.

  • Best wireless security for mixed Mac OS X, Windows XP and Windows 2000

    While I am posting, I may as well ask this question too.
    It seems that WPA/WPA2 are only supported by Windows XP or later.
    But I also think I read somewhere that there are different flavours of WEP for Macs and Windows.
    For a home network based on AE, what is the best form of wireless security to handle 2 Macs (iMac and MacBook Pro), a Windows XP and a Windows 2000 notebook (all running wireless G).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion Michael - unfortunately software changes to the Win2k machine are not an option for me - it has been completely locked down by my corporate IT dept.
    So I think I am stuck with WEP. From scouring the Apple tech discussion posts it looks like a five letter ASCII or thirteen letter ASCII password in WEP are my only options, but I am not sure which of these is most appropriate for all 4 machines.

  • What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    What is a good wireless printer that will work with a macbook and windows laptops?

    Any printer that visibly supports OS X will work fine. My personal recommendation is Brother, followed rather distantly by Canon.
    Recently I have grown to favor Brother printers over the others. They are inexpensive, their OS X integration is well-implemented, their consumables are reasonably priced, and their technical support is free forever. If you need to call them and explain that you have a Mac, you will immediately receive competent assistance.
    The third and subsequent choices are so far down from those two they're not worth mentioning. I have grown to dislike HP printers, for all the above reasons.
    Read user reviews from vendor websites - Amazon is a good place to start, since Amazon lets people write almost anything they want... right, wrong, or completely idiotic.
    Read the reviews on the respective manufacturers' websites as well, but consider the likelihood of them deleting negative reviews.
    Process all those user reviews employing your own common sense, and draw your own conclusions.
    Consider AirPrint compatibility for future needs. Those features add very little to the price over a USB - only or wireless printer. Understand that not all wireless printers are AirPrint compatible - AirPrint must be specifically indicated. Choose among this list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356
    After OS X compatibility, the next consideration should be the cost of consumables. Laser printers are cheaper than inkjets in that regard.
    Here is a list of AirPrint compatible Brother printers and multifunction devices

  • I ran a System Restore on my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes won't open. It says something about my "iTunes library being created in a new version of iTunes".

    I ran a System Restore in my Windows XP notebook and now iTunes will not open. The message: The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes. What can I do about this?

    Depending on the iTunes settings and where the music is downloaded from, by default, it is stored in C:\...\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\. So, if you need to backup, that would be the folder you want to grab.
    However, uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes doesn't affect that folder, so if you have to remove and reinstall it you should not lose any music (although backups are always a good idea).
    In reinstalling, I'd recommend opening your Control Panel and going into Add or Remove Programs, and removing the following:
    1. Apple Mobile Device Support
    2. Apple Software Update
    3. Bonjour
    4. iPod for Windows (if it exists)
    5. iTunes
    6. QuickTime
    Then, restart the computer, and download/install iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/. This should ensure that the appropriate version of all related software is installed, and everything is in sync.

  • X301 and Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)

    Ok, I (Lenovo) did it again.
    System Update showed me this update: "Vodafone and AT&T Wireless WAN (HSPA) Driver for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit)".
    As I'm using Vodafone and I had a AT&T driver, I decided to update.
    The result is, that now the GPS doesn't work.
    Yes, I'm in a place where the GPS signal is present (my house, with the previous driver I was able to get 6/7 satellites).
    What happens? Lenovo TV GPS stays there trying to fix the satellites, but nothing happens. I can't recover the system to a previous state, as I updated Flash player too, and Windows only show me the possibility to roll back this update.
    So, apart advicing everyone not to update, I kindky ask:
    - where can I found the previous driver? I searched the web without success...
    - why does Lenovo deploy driver which can cause problems (I just had one updating the BT driver last week! .msi installer problem, error 1935...)?
    Thanks to everyone
    600, R52, T61p, X301

    Ok, I found in the Net the drive 7uw706ww.zip, which is Version 6.1.4.2, while the updated version is 6.1.10.5 (7UW708WW).
    I tried again the GPS, and it wasn't working.
    Anyway, before downgrading, I tried to reinstall the new driver, downloading and installing the .exe instead going through System Update.
    Result: now GPS is working (same place, same conditions, just 5 minutes later)!
    Don't know where the difference is...

  • Installed SSD and Windows 7, now notebook won't boot

    I replaced my Windows 8.1 hard drive with a PNY 240GB SSD and Windows 7 64 bit.  Everything worked great! Installed all drivers, everything worked great!  Rebooted many times, everything worked great!  Shutdown notebook for the night, next morning I turn on notebook and get this error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I went through the various repair procedures using Windows 7 repair disk with no change.  I reinstalled Windows 7 with SSD formated as GPT drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
    I reinstalled Windows 7 withs SSD formated as MBR drive, got the same error message:
     "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".
     I removed the SSD from the notebook and placed it in a desktop pc, pc works great, no problems with SSD.  Placed SSD back in notebook, got the same error message:   "boot device not found, please install an operating system on your hard disk, hard disk 3F0".   I don't know where to go from here.
    Help please.....

    How did you set secure boot and legacy boot in the BIOS? I actually have a very closely related (17t-j029nr) model laptop HP loaned me for my work here and ran a PNY 240 gig SSD in it for a while so it is not a matter of compatibility. Does your laptop have the 32 gig acceleration cache drive in it? Those can be a little complex to configure with an SSD. 

  • [SOLVED] Wireless 802.1x PEAP Windows 7 and Windows 2012 NPS and CA

    Hello,
    We are in progress of migrating our RADIUS (Windows 2003 R2) and Certificate (Windows 2003 R2) servers to 2012 (R2). This went fine, no problems. After that we have changed
    our Wireless controller a Cisco 5508. We have change our certificate from a 1024bits to a 2048bits certificate.
    We tested the other certificate functions and that went fine too.
    But we experience a problem with wireless 802.1x in combination with Windows 7 machines. We have Windows 8 and 8.1 machines that do not experience this problem and wireless 802.1x?
    We recreated the wireless policy but also no success.
    We have seen this problem before, with a customer who had a Windows 2008 R2 certificate server and Windows XP machines with wireless 802.1x . Exact the same problem. After
    decommissioning the Windows 2008 R2 certificate server and changed it to a Windows 2003 R2 certificate server, there where no problems any more.
    It looks like that older versions of Windows do not work with newer certificate servers?
    Do we miss something? Can someone confirm this.
    We already looked for these forum posts, but with no success

  • X1 Carbon H5321gw WWAN and Windows 8, a solution

    As many other users I had a problem with installation and firmware upgrade of H5321gw WWAN device under Windows 8.
    The drivers pack provided by Lenovo (http://download.lenovo.com/pccbbs/mobiles/g7wo06ww.exe) - run multiple times - did not install the device.
    Futhermore - with the drivers 'installed', the device was not recognised (not displayed as H5321gw in device manager). With the drivers uninstalled it was recognised but not working.
    The firmware pack (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/g7wq12ww.exe) was unable to initialise the upgrade process - in both cases: with drivers pack 'installed' and uninstalled.
    I searched but found no solution to this mess.
    Someone wrote that installing Windows 7 drives allowed him/her to run use the WWAN features with no probs.
    So I installed W7 drivers for H5321gw and it worked, just without the GPS functionality.
    Then I decided to run the firmware upgrade pack and it worked!
    So I decided to uninstall the W7 drivers and installed W8 drivers (the most recent ones, link above).
    And finally it all started working properly, WWAN and GPS. :-)
    Now I have only one unrecognised device in W8. Can anyone help in figuring out what it is?

    Lenovo System Update did not find the device/drivers, I googled for the id search and found out it was Intel Smart Connect Technology device. Downloaded and installed now. Working perfectly.

  • Wireless Router issues with MacBook Pro and Windows XP laptops

    hello,
    I have a d-link wireless router and I have a MacBook Pro and a Windows XP laptops. My issue is that I have to keep rebooting either the router or the modem (which I both replaced) and it still does not work right. Now can mac and windows work simultaneously through a wireless router (d-link) with no issues?

    My problem is that every time I log off either computer, and when I start it back up up again I have to reconfigure all over again for both laptops to get connected to the internet. I called the d-link people and they pretty much said if i still had problem to go their web sites and download their firmware (which I have that version) so I am running out of options because I just can't turn either of them on with out reconfiguring it. Now I am using WPA on them. Could that be the issue? But right now I do not know. This is my first mac and I am getting a little irritated by this. Overall I like the mac except for this little issue. Does that help?

  • Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files?

    TC late 2008. I want to give Windows laptops wireless access to the Internet and not to any of my files? I have tried to locate "Guest" accounts in my Airport Utility with no luck and I do not understand my options. Example: Could I add a Linksys Wireless-G Cable Gateway router before or after my TC and not have a security problem?

    Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
    Guest networking requires a "simultaneous dual-band" AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule. Those weren't introduced until 2009.
    Are the files you want to protect on your Time Capsule or on your Mac? You can protect files on your Time Capsule with a password. In AirPort Utility look at the Disks panel, File Sharing tab.
