Debranded Touchsmart Drivers and Updates?

I'm thinking of buying a Debranded TouchSmart, and I want to know how do you know which drivers and updates to get if you don't know which model it is?  Also, does anyone know if they still come with the bad hardrive that has the brick bug?  Alot of these say they were refurbished, so I'm hoping they changed that drive or put the update on them.  Does anyone know anything about these Debranded TouchSmarts? 

Read the other thread on this same subject, it's all been covered in the past 2 weeks.

If the BIOS string still lists an HP S/N you can use HP Recovery media and drivers, if it does not contain the HP SN, then you can not and will need to get the apps on your own.

    We've recently made some upgrades to our Drivers and Updates systems.  Unfortunately, during the upgrades we had a few issues with linking.  We are working on getting this fixed ASAP.  In the mean time, please use this link.

  • Cannot get drivers and updates for my PC

    I'm finally upgrading my hp pavilion d4500e cto desktop pc from XP to Windows 7 (I don't like Win 8 so got Win 7 Prof). Before upgrading, I want to update the BIOS if needed and save off the drivers and updates  to external storage. I went to the Support page > Software and Drivers and searched on my product name.  I'm having issues getting the drivers and updates I need for this PC.  If I use the Solution and Update Finder wizard, it scans forever and never stops.  I did a direct search on the product and clicked the product name.  However I then get a page that says "Page Not Found".  I tried searching for these drivers/updates on my newer HP Envy laptop thinking maybe I could at least save off from that PC.  I get the same results after I click on the product name - Page Not Found .  Help!! I need these drivers/updates ASAP. This PC still works great and has plenty of memory but due to software changes over the years I really need to upgrade to Win 7 now. TIA

    You're very welcome.
    There is no W7 BIOS update for your model.
    There is a BIOS update for the XP operating system and you installed it, that would be the latest version.
    Do not attempt to install a BIOS update written for another operating system.  In other words, don't install that BIOS update after you install W7.
    Here are the W7 x64 drivers you need...
    Chipset driver:
    http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/14875/en-us
    Graphics:

    If you are missing any drivers after you install W7 and the above drivers, please post back and let me know what is missing and I will see what I can do to help.

  • Had to reload drivers and updates for my HP scanjet G4050, I now enter image scan to scan photos but nowhere is there a "send" button to get them to iPhoto

    Since loading Maverick and then, with the assist of Apple Support, I had to reload drivers and updates for my HP scanjet G4050, I now enter image scan to scan photos but nowhere is there a "send" button to get them to iPhoto.

    Here are a couple of ideas:
    1. (my favorite) - connect the printer to the router with an Ethernet cable for virtually the same functionality, more speed and fewer connectivity issues.
    2. Reset by turning the printer off, holding # and 6 keys while and for a few seconds after turning it back on.

  • Plotters their drivers and updating a mac

    I am running a sign plotter off my mac mini via a USB  cable. version  10.6.8 When a recent update in June came along my plotter stopped working. I have reinstalled and to no avail. Finally i simply went back to a backup before the update. Now my computer is getting buggy and I want to update. Anyone ever experience this problem?
    The company that makes the plotter said it could be that the driver assigns a port and when you update it wipes those ports?
    I have no idea how to fix this problem and update my mac. HELP!!!

  • K850 printer drivers and updated toolbox for win 7, pro 64 bit

    When will HP provide an updated driver and toolbox for the wide format inkjet printer?  This expensive printer is useless without the toolbox.  No way to align heads or check the accuracy of head alignment.
    If HP abandons this printer it will join the 4 HP scanners sitting in my garage that $2300 were spent on and are now useless because HP chose not to provide updated drivers for them.
    This will be my last HP product unless they stepup and support the products they sell.

  • Atto Drivers and Updates for DLT 7000

    Does anyone know the correct Firmware and Driver to download for a Atto Express PCI UL4S SCSI card for use with a Quantum DLT 7000 and DVD Studio Pro?
    I am on a Mac Dual 2.5 G5 running
    DVD Studio Pro 3.0.2
    I was given explicit instructions from my duplicator for the UL3S. My Mac recognizes the DLT 7000 and the SCSI card, but DVD Studio Pro is not giving me the option to output to the DLT 7000.
    No one is answering at Atto's Tech department today - I've been trying to get through for hours.
    Thanks in advance if anyone knows.

    Finally got help from Atto Tech department.

  • Obtain drivers from MS-Server and updates from WSUS

    Hi,
    is there a possibility to obtain drivers from the MS Server and the "other" updates from the WSUS-Server?
    We have workstations with Win7 and XP and pluged in devices (USB) should obtain the drivers (if available) automatically from MS-Server.
    Obtaining drivers through WSUS is not an option.
    The Group Policy "Computer Configuration\...\Windows Update" is set to obtain updates from "intranet Microsoft update service location".
    Should there be no possibility to distinguish between driver and update obtaining locations,
    then is it possible to set WSUS as primary obtaining location and as secondary the MS-Serve? 
    Greets, 
    Emmanuel

    Like I mentioned before I tried to use this:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753091.aspx
    1. Try:
    Step1:
    I uninstalled the device and deleted the driver of my testing device. (local)
    Step2:
    I have created a new GP on Server 2003R2x86 (AD/DC) and linked it in the OU where my test-PC is located.
    .../ComputerConfiguration/Administrative Templates/System/InternetCommunicationManagement/Internet Communication Settings/TurnOffWindowsUpdateDeviceDriverSearching-->disabled
    Step3:
    I restarted the test PC with a logonscript: "gpupdate /force"
    Result:
    It didn't work.
    2.Try:
    Same procedure, but instead of creating the policy on the '03 Server, I created the policy with RSAT for W7.
    Result:
    It didn't work.
    Now I have a new question:
    Isn't the above mentioned policy for this?:
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/automatically-get-recommended-drivers-and-updates-for-your-hardware
    I ask, because this is exactly the setting that has to be changed so that everything works the way I want.
    (at least for the Win7 PCs. I don't care much about the XP-PCs because they will be replaced in the near future)
    Well one option is to change this setting manually on every PC, but this would be a huge PITA.
    Can this be done in a policy or with a script (registry?)?

  • T42 Driver and updates - How to pick form a list of 89 updates

    Does anyone know how to load only the drivers and updates needed for a T42 running XP? I didn't have the OEM version. There are so many updates for the wireless card, H/D, video, LAN, KYBD and pad, etc, etc, etc...
    Is there an automated way for the system to pick the updates it needs?

    Jsalvador wrote:

    Download Thinkvantage System Update (TVSU) from here.
    But if you are doing a clean install of XP on your T42 this might not work correctly. If you instead call Lenovo support and ask them to send you T42 XP recovery disks (at a charge) you can reset your T42 to factory settings (as it was when it was new.) You then install TVSU and it will now correctly update all drivers to latest level.

  • How do I update drivers and BIOS on Satellite P300?

    I've been having problems with my wifi, and as my partners laptop is working fine, it was suggested that I might need to update drivers and/or BIOS.
    I've tried to do this but where do you download the BIOS/driver updates to?
    It just defaults into 'my documents', sits there and does nothing?
    After downloading, How do I ensure my notepad 'takes' the updates?
    As you can see, I'm not overly technical so any advice in simpletons terms please...
    Thanks.

    Hello
    All drivers and tools for your notebook can be downloaded here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    At first I would try a WLAN driver update. If you have downloaded the WLAN driver, unzip all files and start the setup.exe file. This will automatically install the new driver and will be used now.

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems
