Driver Problem False Report ?

Motherboard: F1A75-V PRO
Processor:AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon Graphics ( 4 Core Processor)
RAM: Corsair 8 GB
System drive : Samsung 128 GB SSD
OS: Windows 8.1.1
All the 4 units of the above mentioned Processor shows defective drivers. If I try to revert to roll back, the button is not high ighed and therefore I cannot click to go back. But for all practical purposes the PC is running smooth.
And for your information the latest available driver from ASUS "amd-catalyst-omega-14.12-sb-sata-ahci-win8.1-win7" is already instaled.
Also, this issue is not there in another OS installation on another physical hard disk in the same PC of - "Windows 10 Technical preview". Here all the 4 units of the processors show their drivers as OK. Suspecting some
hardware issues with the Samsung SSD, I re-imaged my Windows 8.1 installation on another SSD. The problem persisted.
I want to take another image backup of the sytem, but only after the issue is solved.
Please advise.
Dr. K. A. Rasheed

If you are concerned that the behavior might be caused by the SSD, you may want to run the diagnostics software supplied by the manufacturer to verify the health of the device. Samsung provides Samsung Magician
available for download here.

Lenovo T400 screen goes dark issue, some video driver problem

Lenovo:
Motherboard:
CPU Type: Mobile DualCore Intel Core 2 Duo P8600, 2400 MHz (9 x 267)
Motherboard Chipset: Intel Cantiga GM45
System Memory: 1992 MB (DDR3 SDRAM)
BIOS Type: Phoenix (08/19/08)
Display:
Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
Video Adapter: Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family
3D Accelerator: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470
Problem/Issue:
Driver problem appeard after upgrading from XP to Windows 7.
From the Device Manager I saw that ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 was not working properly and
a) I did the "update driver software." After restart the screen light was darker than usual. (This was usual if I was working from battery but I was plugged in this time. )
As I'm not the best with computers I thought my drivers might be in conflict and to prevent serious damages, I just
b) disabled ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 from device manager.
This actually resolved the dark screen problem.
c) then I went to Lenovo support site: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-72858
downloaded newest drivers for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 (Switchable Graphics Driver)
and Intel 4500MHD (Intel GM45 Express Chip)
For some reason while installine the: Intel GM45 Display Driver (version 8.15.10.2302) gives me error:
"This Computer Does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software"
Also some problem appeard when installing the new downloaded version:
ThinkPad Switchable Graphics Driver (version 8.792.5-110424b-119200C)
d) so I went back to device manager and made an update to ATI Mobility Radeon from there.
Well, I got it working, but the screen went dark again. When I disable the driver it goes back to normal
brightness and when I enable it again, it stays normal.
I'll try to restart and see what happens

We had the excat same issue.
I could get the picuture back pressing the power button until it went to sleep and then wake it up again.
After the I went to device manager to delete all display drivers both Intel and ATI and then reboot.
doing the reboot windows found some drivers it could use.
I then installed the switchable driver from lenovo.
Now windows device manger report two display drivers:
1)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3400 Series, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
2)
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Version, Version 8.792.5.2000, Driver manufacturer ATI Technologies Inc
So it seams the switchable ATI driver take over the Intel card and the Intel driver is not needed.
At least the problem is solved for us.

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem - H430

Lenovo Drivers Insufficient for update to 8.1 - Driver problem (USB?) - H430
my lenovo H430 is about 6 months old - worked okay with preinstalled Windows 8
After update to Windows 8.1 computer no longer seemed to work well at all, although I am unable to provide hard evidence, but clearly it was not working as smoothly as in the previous 8 version with lots of irritating little problems - including sound.
One thing that very clearly was not functioning as it had in 8 version was the USB disconnect icon. In 8 you only had to click on icon and the USB selection window would open immediately. Additionally all USB connections would be shown - back and front USB. Select the USB to be disconnected and it would be disconnected immediately (providing not in use). After update to 8.1 this was no longer the case.
In 8.1 disconnect icon no longer worked as it had done in 8. After clicking on icon there was now always a lengthy pause, followed by the sound of the computer working (whirring sound) and then after a while the USB selection window would finally open. Sometimes it was necessary to click on icon a few times to get any reaction at all. A small MP3 player I had charged up on my computer every morning (front USB) in windows 8, was always in USB list, and disconnected without problem in 8. In 8.1 it was no longer in list and only charged sporadically (would stop charging, but if I clicked on USB icon it would start charging again - although still not shown in USB list).
After about two weeks of 8.1 my screen suddenly - but only briefly - went black twice. I ran a sfc /scannow. problems were found but could not be resolved. I did a Dism /Online/Clean-Image/RestoreHealth this was reported as being successful. About two days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD - "critical-services-failure" - from which I was unable to get out of. The only option open was the Lenovo restore option. Computer was returned to factory state with los of all data.
back to Windows 8 the computer once again worked okay - no problems - and USB icon once again worked correctly (including with MP3 player).
About 2 weeks later after receiving MS messages to update to 8.1 I called Lenovo support and asked about update to drivers for 8.1.
the following list was given:
Chipset: Intel chipset Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version : 9.4.0.1022
Video: CPP2 AMD DISCRETE VGA CARD DRIVER for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 13.152
Audio: Realtek Audio Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 6.0.1.7030
LAN: Realtek Lan Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) Version: 8.018.0621.2013
STORAGE: Intel RST Driver for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop Version: 12.8.0.1016
I updated to 8.1 and then updated all the above drivers (no USB driver update was available).
The same problems as the last update to 8.1 and USB was as bad as it was in last 8.1
Some days later my computer went into blue screen BSOD once again - although this time did not stay stuck there, and quickly restarted - due to speed of restart I did not get time to read all the text and discover the cause of BSOD.
Computer is still running badly - particularly the USB icon disconnect.
Called Lenovo support but they have been no help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lenovo are failing us with the 8.1 update and the DRIVERS FOR 8.1
BSOD
all i could find was this: (probably refers to after BSOD - the restarting part after BSOD???)

I have now seen the suggestion by Tomaspoko and Brillow at http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-Edge-S-series/Windows-8-1-update-S440-ThinkPad-black-screen-wit...
Despite the AMD driver giving an error during install at the last stage of the suggested fix, this has now yielded a working switchable graphics for my S540 for the first time with Windows 8.1. Catalyst Control Center also works for the first time, so thank you to both the above-mentioned posters for a solution that does work.
Hopefully in time AMD will release a non-broken updated AMD driver and CCC package.
Thanks again for a nice solution from this forum - the problem was driving me nuts!

OS 10.4.9 CD/DVD Drive problem

After the 10.4.9 update the CD/DVD drive no longer recognizes discs.
DMG files will mount, but don't show up on the desktop. Installer files will run but the disc icon itself is invisible.
System profiler sees the drive, but discs won't mount. I've fixed permissions, updated prebindings and run maintenance scripts and that didn't help.
Drive ejects and opens/closes door properly but discs just spin and never mount. I used the drive moments before the update and it worked fine then.

How about running Disk First Aid repair on your boot volume via Disk Utility when booted from your Tiger install disc which is much more critical and important over repairing disk permissions or any of the other things you have already done?
Was a Hardware Test CD included with your Mac purchase and if so, have you run the extended tests?
If the hardware test checks out OK, run Disk First Aid repair (not very disk) and if any problems are reported and successfully repaired, run repair again until no problems are reported.
Afterwards and if you used Software Update, download the 10.4.9 Combo Update and re-install 10.4.9.

MacBook Hard Drive Problems?

I've used this MacBook for a few years without any issues. It has always had very snappy response and very few problems. Earlier this week, I noticed that it takes about 4 minutes to boot up now as opposed to the 30 seconds it used to take just a week ago. Once running, Safari also tends to be unresponsive at times and slow to load. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that during boot up, I can HEAR the hard drive give off some "clicks" and faint "beeps" (for lack of a more technical description). In my experience with Windows machines, this is often a sign of hard drive problems.
With Vista, I can run a CHKDSK and fix the drive by taking the bad sectors out of the mix. I am trying to figure out how to best diagnose and repair my drive on this Mac. I tried booting from the Snow Leopard DVD and running Disk Utility/First Aid to find the problem, but this utility reports that everything is fine and dandy. I am not sure I agree.
Can someone tell me of a more powerful tool for the Mac that will fully diagnose any hardware or software problems on this machine so I can get it back to tip top performance. Is there a diagnostic utility provided by Apple? Other utilities built in to Snow Leopard? Third party applications?
As I have never had problems with a Mac before, I am in uncharted waters with regard to diagnostics so if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

In addition to OSX (Leopard) I have two (2) "MacBook Mac OSX Install" discs. Does anyone know which one is bootable and contains the AHT utility?
You have to determine what version of Leopard shipped with your Mac. It might say on the disk. If not, put in the leopard disk and see which version it is. As stated in the link I gave you.........
For Intel-based Apple computers shipping with Mac OS X v10.5.4 or earlier, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and should be included with your computer.
For Intel-based Apple computers shipping with Mac OS X v10.5.5 or later, Apple Hardware Test is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer.
Here's another AHT faq.

Problem refreshing reports with params in the Interactive viewer from ASP

I have a problem getting reports to refresh by clicking the Interactive Viewer's refresh button and reusing the supplied parameters. I am seeing this exact same problem on both V9.2 and 11.5 unmanaged RAS servers.
I am using the following function code to set the reports parameters:
Public Sub PassParameter(param_index, param_value, param_is_multi,param_range_kind)
    Dim param_old ' parameter field in the report
    Dim param_new ' parameter field that will replace old parameter
Dim paramValue ' discrete parameter value
Dim aValues
Dim rValues
Dim iLoop
Set param_old = clientDoc.DataDefinition.ParameterFields.Item(param_index)
Set param_new = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterField";)
If param_range_kind = 1 then
Set paramValue = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterFieldDiscreteValue";)
paramValue.Value = param_value
else
Set paramValue = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterFieldRangeValue";)
     rValues = split(param_value, "|")
paramValue.BeginValue = rValues(0)
paramValue.EndValue = rValues(1)
paramValue.LowerBoundType = 2
paramValue.UpperBoundType = 2
end if
param_old.CopyTo param_new
if param_is_multi = 0 then
param_new.CurrentValues.Add paramValue
else
     aValues = split(param_value, ",")
   For iLoop = LBound(aValues) to UBound(aValues)
param_new.CurrentValues.Add Trim(aValues(iLoop))
    Next
end if
clientDoc.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.Modify param_old, param_new
    ' Clean up
    Set paramValue = Nothing
    Set param_new = Nothing
End Sub
and then redirecting to another ASP page to invoke the viewer (the report "clientDoc" object is passed to the viewer asp page a s a session variable). The code of the viewer page is:
<%
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Charset=";UTF-8"
Dim clientDoc
Set clientDoc = session("clientDoc")
Dim ObjFactory, RptAppSession
Set ObjFactory = CreateObject("CrystalReports.ObjectFactory";)
Dim viewer
Set viewer = ObjFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.CrystalReportInteractiveViewer";)
viewer.PageTitle = "Interactive Report - " & Request("rptnam")
viewer.IsOwnForm = true
viewer.IsOwnPage = true
viewer.HasRefreshButton = true
viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = false
viewer.ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh ; = true
viewer.HasExportButton = false
' viewer.HasPrintButton = false
viewer.ReportSource = clientDoc.ReportSource
Dim BooleanSearchControl
Set BooleanSearchControl = ObjFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.BooleanSearchControl";)
BooleanSearchControl.ReportDocument = clientDoc
viewer.BooleanSearchControl = BooleanSearchControl
viewer.ProcessHttpRequest Request, Response, Session
%>
If I set viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = false then I get an erro upon clicking the viewer's refresh button (error is: Missing parameter values. webReporting.dll error '8004100e' ), but if I set viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = true, then I get the automatically generated prompts appear but they are all empty. Either way, RAS doesn't remember the supplied parameters. I know the parameters are being read by RAS as the report's contents prove this fact, but they are not remembered after refreshing. If the automatically generated prompts are filled in and submitted, subsequent refreshes work correctly.
How do I get the report viewer to reuse the parameters that have been set programmatically after a refresh? BTW, changing my implementation to anything other than using ASP against an unmanaged RAS server is not an option at this time.
Thanks in advance!
Dave.

Hi Dave,
I don't have a "nice" set of code lines but below hard codes one parameter name and value:
            ISCRParameterField newParameterField = new ParameterFieldClass();
            newParameterField.ParameterType = crParameterFieldTypeEnum.crParameterFieldTypeReportParameter;
            newParameterField.Name = "YourParamName"; // you can make a collection here
            newParameterField.ReportName = "";
            newParameterField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeStringField;
            newParameterField.AllowMultiValue = true;
            newParameterField.AllowCustomCurrentValues = true;
            Fields parameterFields = reportClientDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
            ISCRField existingParameterField;
            RowsetMetaData rowsetMetaData = new RowsetMetaDataClass();
            Fields fields = new FieldsClass();
            ArrayList defaultValues = new ArrayList();
            reportClientDocument.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", @"YourParamName", @"YourParamValue");
Thanks again

Dissociate default printer driver from the report viewer

Hello,
I have a problem in reports visualization. I set the report paper size via the code:
_printOptions.PaperSize = CrPaperSizeEnum.crPaperSizePaperCsheet;
The problem is when i visualize it it's truncated to the printer default paper size. How could i resolve this. I tried the DissociatePrinter option and it didn't help.
I'm working with .NET RAS SDK and C#.

What version of CR?
What version of .NET?
WEB or Win app?
See KB 1386475 and 1490938 (use the search box in the top right corner)
Also note that the paper size enum may be (most likely will be) different for each printer driver. Thus retrieving the paper size enum and setting that to printOptions.PaperSize may be something worth trying.
Searching for 'printoutputcontroler' may also get you additional resources.

Serious external drive problems after installing Mavericks

OK, so now I am seeing multiple external drive problems. Here is my setup: A GTech 4TB drive connected to MacBook Pro via Firewire, formatted of 2 partitions of 2TB each (called GT1 and GT2). This is then daisy chained to two WD drives of 2TB each, called WD1 and WD2.
After installing Mavericks everything worked fine (in fact I have an amazing speed increase). However, after restarting my machine this morning I have the following issues:
The GTech is now a single partition called MyBook (obviously a hangover from the WD drives. I suspect the WD drive managment software) with NO data files. Interestingly it shows the following USED 1,106,870,272 bytes (1.11 GB on disk). This suggests that one of the partitions has disapeared completely.
Whilst WD 1 launces ok, WD 2 causes the Finder to relaunch whenever selected, meaning I can't get to the files. I remember having this problem before when I upgraded to SL, and it having something to do with hidden files that needed to be deleted via the terminal. However, I have searched the web and can't find the solution again.
Given that WD 1 and 2 are my backups of GT 1 and 2, then I now have a situation where I cannot access my primary or backup files for GT 2. Very impressive - not!
Can anbody remember the hidden file solution for the finder relaunch?
Can anybody help me get back my GT1 and 2 partitions (as they have the latest work on them)?

FIrewire & Thunder bolt drives are having issues with Mavericks, avoid same until a fix is issued if you can.
many are reporting same, there is a firewire fault and TB HD on external HD from LaCie (Seagate) and from WD especially.
Technicians are looking into it.
Until there is resolution, consider setting up a USB ext. Time machine HD.
Until then consider confining Mavericks use with USB HD.
Ive tested a very long line of USB HD on Mavericks, all seem fine.
Recommend anyone DO NOT ATTACH any WD MyBook externals (firewire, thunderbolt or otherwise).
I dont have same to test, so I dont know if the problem is in the firmware on the SATA bridge or if its a problem with the WD software

Falsely Reported Delinquency to credit reporting agencies

Verizon FIOS has Falsely Reported Delinquency to credit reporting Agencies and now sending demand notices from collection agencies for a payment that is not due.
When I call to customer services they divert the call to Accounts department, then accounts department says no payment is due and transfer the call to credit reporting department , they say that not payment is pending but keep on sending demand notice from Enhanced Recovery Company for an amount which is not due to me. Verizon Fios has spoiled my credit history and harassing me for a payment that is not due in their books.
How to resolve this problem?

Hi InnocentSuffer,
Sorry you are having difficulty. An agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information or to help you resolve your issue.

Windows 7 Combo Jack Realtek driver problem s510p

I'm running Windows 7 on an Ideapad s510p, but the realtek drivers (downloaded from the s510p downloads page) sees one audio input, but thinks it is a headphone out only:
There were a couple of topics with kind of similar problems like this where people got recommended to use an adapter for both. I ordered one but that does not solve the problem, it seems to me that it is a driver problem. I tried the drivers from the s510p downloads page and also from the realtek drivers but both give the same problem, is there any way to fix this?

Okay, I solved the problem. Turns out I was installing the wrong driver from the Realtek website.
The correct driver for VB in my installation is for the AC'97 audio controller.
It is located at:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=23&PFid=23 &Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#AC
I have sound now!

MBP Hard Drive Problem (Again)

My MBP is going back to the Geniuses for a HD problem for the 3rd time tomorrow, since I bought it in July. I am confused about exactly what is happening, and I would like any advice anyone might have about salvaging any of my data.
(The first two times, I brought it in because the HD died. The first time, they told me they had replaced the HD, though they hadn't. They ran diagnostics, decided it did not need to be replaced after erasing my data, and then gave it back to me. I brought it back the next day [t died that night as I was reinstalling] and they replaced the HD in about a day.)
Everything got really slow this weekend and I had "index" and "database" problems in my mail.app (twice), and my iTunes (twice). Now, the replacement HD has disappeared when I tried to reinstall the system software/repair the disk in disk utility.
This is the chronology:
I have had this hard drive for 3 weeks, installed at the local apple store to replace my factory-installed dead hard drive.
On Friday, my mail app stopped working. After diagnosing the error message (thanks to this forum), I learned that the index file was corrupted, so I reinstalled the index.
On Saturday, my iTunes said it couldn't read my iPod, so I restored my iPod, erasing all of my data (music, calendars, contacts, important documents). I continued to get the same error message.
Today, I restored it again, but I still couldn't get iTunes to write more than 2 gb of information (of the 20 gb of data). At that point, I decided I would have to send my iPod in for repairs and stopped trying.
8 hours later, I got an error message that said the iTunes index was corrupted. I started to put the music back in to iTunes, but the MBP kept kept freezing.
I restarted the machine and received the blinking questionmark. I put in my system installation disks to run disk utility and, if need be, reinstall my system software.
This is where it gets interesting:
Disk Utility can see the topline Disk Description and the SMART status is verified. But the name of the disk itself is wrong and the mount point says it is unmounted. The capacity is correct, but under everything from owners enabled to number of files and space available, there is just a dash.
Unlike my previous hard drive problem, there is no clunking, and the hard drive appears to be working. Disk Utility found the following: Invalid B-tree node size. The volume needs to be repaired. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit. 1 HFS volume checked: volume needs repair. And that's it.
My questions are:
1. What is happening to my hard drive?
2. Is it dead or is there any way to fix it?
3. Is there any way to salvage my data? (Because of my iPod failure, I lost my calendars, contacts, important data from my last big back up 3 weeks ago, not to mention my carefully curated music collection. I have my documents backed up to gmail, but not my notes, which were on my iPod.)
4. Does it sound like an internal hardware problem or is it really just two bum hard drives (from two different manufacturers) in a row?
MacBook Pro 2.16 ghz Intel Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

In case anyone receives a series of index problems which escalate into apparent hard drive failure and blinking question mark of doom . . .
the Geniuses fixed the computer by doing a complete wipe of my hard drive.
They said that the directory error may have existed from before my last hard drive was installed, but I am not certain how such a thing could exist.
Because it was a directory error, I lost all of my data on the hard drive, but I was able to take the machine home with me within an hour. Since the erase and reinstallation, my computer is running much, much faster, and seemingly cooler, but that may just be my relief at having a working machine back.

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

Blizzard support says you have a driver problem ATI, RadeonHD2600

I am an avid World of Warcraft player. I am having UI hanging and crashing problems as well as an in game problem. I have been sending in the crash logs when I recover the system.
I called Blizzard tech support about the ingame problem. The problem is that in the Zangermarsh zone the WoW mini map goes transparent often. We went through several debugging or work around steps. This included recovering the UI. A process where you remove the Interface, Cache and *** directories and allow the client to rebuild them as default. Another step was to change the "/console uifaster" setting in the game client. After this the problem was still present.
The Blizzard tech then stated that it was an Apple driver problem. I queried him on whether the Blizzard developers had contacted Apple on this problem and he could not provide that information.
Would someone from Apple support please let me know if these issues have been reported by Blizzard to Apple? Also does Apple believe that there is a problem with the ATI Radeon HD2600 driver or is it a Blizzard issue?

Hi Unix Guru;
Well, I can tell you here is not the place to talk to Apple Support. The only ones you will find here is other users like yourself.
You might have better luck here.
