Driver search

Hey all, I am working in the lab over here at Sycamore Networks for a list
of drivers that support GP-IB and run on LabView, not LabView CVI or
VEE, LabView only. I have been searching the NI webpage but am unable
to find any mention from the following list.
8163a Lightwave Multimeter
86142a Optical Spectrum Analyzer
8164a Lightwave Measurement System
81635a Power Sensor
8156a Optical Attenuator
83480 Digital Communication Analyzer
70004a Display
70340a Signal Generator
70843b Error Performance Analyzer
86100a Wide Bandwidth Oscilloscope
8753ES S- Parameter Network Analyzer
SB Series Fiber Optic Switch
AQ6317 Optical Spectrum Analyzer
1711 DC Power Supply
1746 DC Power Supply
TSL -210 Tunable Semi-Conductor Laser
LC564 1GHz Oscillosco

If you have any information on where I can find any drivers for any of the
proceeding equipment I would appriciate it. Please respond directly to the
email address: [email protected]

What you might also try is finding drivers for similar models from the same
manufacturer. You don't mention manufacturers in your posting but assuming
that the LC564 is from LeCroy, you could look at the LC574 driver that National
has. Also, don't exclude CVI drivers. These and other "Plug and Play" drivers
can be used in LabVIEW. You won't be able to edit the source code unless
you have a CVI license but the driver might provide all of the functions
you need. Try going to the manufacturers for drivers. Except for Agilent,
most are pretty good about making LabVIEW drivers available for their instruments.
I don't think Agilent will ever have a policy of writing LabVIEW drivers
(not as long as they still try to sell VEE) so you'll either have to write
your own, use
the Plug and Play driver, or submit a request to National for
them to write one.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks, Jack

BUG - Indexing Options keep pointing to D drive rather than the C drive - search charm won't work

So I noticed that the search in my Windows 8.1 simply won't work to find files and settings. Then I went to Indexing Options in the Control Panel and I noticed that one of the locations Indexing was trying to point to is:
D:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\ (Unavailable)
This is odd since this is not the location of the Start Menu (which is in the C drive, not the D drive).
So I went on to remove this location and manually add the location of the Start Menu in the C drive (i.e. C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\).
To my surprise, adding the location in the C drive is actually listed as the D drive -- not the C drive. In Fact any directory I try to add to the Index located in the C drive is in fact listed as being in the D drive!
I'm at a loss here, and in fairness I reckon this is a bug.
Have anyone here ever experienced this? Is there any workaround?
EDIT: While the search does not work. It seems like the Windows Explorer search works without any issues.
Also I reckon it is worth mentioning that I change the location of my search index to the D drive. This is because my C drive is a Solid State Drive, while my D drive is a traditional Hard Drive.
Thanks in advance for the help.

P.

Hi,
I made a test in my fresh building Windows 8.1. Create a new drive and a new folder in it. After that, add the folder into Windows Index Location. When I delete the folder, its shows up as the screenshot below:
As you can see, it's same with yours, If I choose uncheck the Index folder and reopen Windows Index Location, it would be dispare from this panel.
While for your problem, actually, move the index location is no difference to your Windows search, it just change search file location.
To identify if this is a disk drive problem, you can opt to use Diskpart command to check your drive letter if it was correct.
Open Command Prompt with admin, then type diskpart.
Afer that, type list volume, check current disk label.

Hard drive searching constantly

Harddrive is constantly searching/clicking, it seems to be full - error message says so, and confirmed by iStat display. Photos = 98 GB, Docs and Apps =~ 40 GB ... don't know what else is occupying my 250 GB HDD.
Your help will be appreciated.
[I have loaded my iPhoto Library and all photos onto an External HDD, and will delete same from on-borad HDD ASAP. BUT - what is occupying all the other space!?]

If your hard drive is searching and clicking it may be getting ready to fail. How old is the drive? You can use SMART tools that will check your drive and do a pretty good job of alerting you to a failing drive. A quick Google search came up with this one: http://smartreporter.en.softonic.com/mac. I've not used it, but it looks to have what you would need.
If you can't figure out what is taking up space on your hard drive you can use sweeper tools like http://omnidisksweeper.en.softonic.com/mac. This will scan your drive and tell you what is taking up space.
If your SMART detector indicates that your drive is failing back up your data as soon as possible. You don't want to mess with a dead drive and no backup. You can still get data off it, but it becomes very difficult and very expensive. Backups are much cheaper and easier to use. HTH.

Disable USB driver installation from searching Windows Updates for software

Hello,
When a plug-n-play device is connected to a Windows 7 system, the system by default tries to search Windows update for compatible drivers. I have a preconfigured driver store on each system that will have the drivers for all of the USB devices we care
about so I'd like to search the local driver store first before searching for Windows updates.
I found the option that controls this under System Properties > Advanced system settings > Hardware tab > Device Installation Settings. I have set this option before my machines run through sysprep, however, sysprep appears to be resetting
the option back to the Windows default (Yes, do this automatically) and ignores what I set it to.
I have a reg key that I'm running post-sysprep, but I'd like to avoid this as it's an extra step and I don't want to have to account for it long-term. My question is, is there a way to set this option in my sysprep unattend file?

If this is a domain joined machine, this can be set by a Group Policy Object;
Open Group Policy Management Editor.
In the navigation pane, open Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Internet Communication Management\Internet
Communication settings.
In the details pane, double-click Turn off Windows Update device driver searching.
Do one of the following:
To turn off searching Windows Update, click Enabled.
To allow searching Windows Update, click Disabled.
Click OK to save your settings.
Instructions taken from: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730606(v=ws.10).aspx
If this PC is not on the domain (but is Pro) you may be able to set the same option on the Local Group Policy (GPEDIT.MSC).
Kind Regards

Windows XP detects iPod when connected to USB port but searches for Driver

Hi,
Please help on this. When I connect iPod to any USB port of my Windows XP system, it gets detected immediately. but the problem is each time rather than iTunes opening up, I get the windows Driver search window to open up and ask me to provide the driver for the iPod. I have searched the net but cant find the driver in Apple's website.
Please advise what can be done ASAP.
Thanks,

iPod Fifth generation 30Gb with video Windows XP

Hi Noir,
thanks for the info. But I think the ipod driver is not there in my system. Because i tried the ways mentioned in the link but windows cannot find the driver. Is there any way I can get the driver. then I will order windows to point to that driver file for ipod.
also note in the device Manager window I didnot find "ipod" or "USB Mass Storage". So I think it may be an issue with the USB ports too.
Please help...

Where can I download a Windows 7 64bit driver for the hp CDDVDW TS-L633N on my cpq60-615DX

EDIT --
I neglected to say that I tried updating the driver from the Device Manager device window and the result was a message saying it could not find a newer driver, that the one installed was correct.
Another EDIT
I also did not say that I have uninstalled the device, through Device Manager. Upon restarting the system, the drive was found and software installed but the problem remains.
Original message follows:
System: CPQ60-615DX
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Drive: hp CDDVDW TS-L633N
In the process of installing some Roxio software, Creator 9, an unusable driver, are part of one, was installed. Now the device is not working.
When I didn't see on the list of devices on Windows Explorer, I went to Device Manager and found that it was flagged with the "problem" icon (exclamation point on a yellow background).
The General Tab Device Status box contains"

It appears that the Creator install installed part of the driver but not one that functions. It might be a problem with Windows 7 or the fact that this install is 64 bits.
I have searched the HP site and can't find a driver for the device. When I look at the list of drivers available for this system, the optical drive is not shown.
I downloaded and installed the HP driver search program - or whatever it is called - and ran it. There were no devices listed on "Optical Drive" tab when I looked at the results - it could not "see" the drive.
I realize that what I need is probably a generic driver from MS, that's why one is not shown on the HP site, but how do I go about finding the right one for this device?
Is there a generic "one size fits all" driver for Windows 7 which can drive this device?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Where are LETOOLS for USB? The "ADB" Driver does not work with Windows XP

I just give up with Lenovo's arcane maze of endlessly-looping driver searches. I managed somehow to get something called an "ADB Driver" which was supposed to allow Windows XP to recognize my tablet as a K1 Ideapad. I downloaded the 8+mb file which installed fk knows where and plugged in my K1 tablet. Windows recognized that it had a USB device, and when prompted to hunt for the driver (which of course I couldn't find, since Lenovo sent it into the ether) I had to back out and then hunt through my entire Windows directory for an inf file containing the word "Android".
For the unsuspecting, it hides in something called -- get ready for it -- OEM16.
I guess the L, N and V keys were missing on the keyboard of the moron who labeled this pos driver. Oh good programming Lenovo NOT but since a chimpanzee programmed Lenovo's driver site I suppose it's of a piece that a baboon packaged this worthless driver. This isn't an eCommerce site it's a zoo.
I guess it was too difficult for Lenovo to include a CD with their Windows USB driver family on it. I mean . . . that would have cost them $.0000002. Jesus wept.
All I want to do is have XP know that the "USB Human Interaction" device I have plugged in is my K1 Lenovo tablet. Don't send me to Google for a USB/Windows Android driver, they direct everyone to the site of the manufacturer of the tablet. And don't insult my intelligence by even countenancing the possibility that Google's arch rival would stoop to offer any means for their OS to talk to (cough hack) Android.
I get that it has to be a Lenovo driver and/or program. So where the f is it? because this is massively pissing me off. And one other thing: No link to Lenovo. I don't appreciate being manipulated by Lenovo's flash crap only to land on a driver download site that says "We can't find it."
No. Direct me please to any non-lenovo download portal that has the most recent version of LETOOLS and hope I don't have to come back here with yet more frustration. This is the most needlessly idiotic driver service I have ever had the misfortune of being tethered to and I hope never to have to engage with it ever again. May I please know where LETOOLS can be downloaded? Thank you.

Hi know-vo,
I'm sorry that you couldn't find LETools. I've cheked with internal team and was told that actually we do have the software, but it's called "Synchronization Software". Did you try that?
If you browse to ADB Driver page by clicking "Learn More" in support site, there is a note indicating that this ADB driver works with Synchronization Software.
Sorry for all the inconvenience caused and. I hope this info above helps.
Cheers,
Cleo

No Hard Drive Or Volume Icon In Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) Disk Utilities: Reads Error: No Valid Packages (-9997)

Whilst performing a zero/erase install on my Powerbook G4 Firewire (aluminium) with an OSX Tiger install disk (Tiger was the OSX i had erased), I had to force quite the installer as it appeared to be stuck on the Chinese script install section. I crashed the Powerbook down using the power button method. Now, when i power up the computer, it stays on the grey screen and just beeps at me. If i insert the install disks (both OSX Tiger or the original Powerbook Panther ones) there is no volume found during the install process. In disk utilities no hard drive icon or volumes appear in the left hand list, just 2 headings regarding the OSX install disk. I have clicked 'Verify Disk Permissions' on these headings and receive this message in the action box: Error: No Valid Packages (-9997). All other options in disk utilities are not available to use (partitions section etc), as there is no hard drive recognized to perform anything on. I presume my erase install has wiped out my previous OSX Tiger without installing some essential on the Powerbook (receipts perhaps?). My Powerbook was working 100% before this install attempt. It's a very lightly used machine with no noises/whirrs coming from the hard drive that would suggest failure of some kind. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks for your advice old comm guy.
I have run the Hardware Test as supplied with the Powerbooks install disks and everything has passed. I presume i can put my mind at rest about it being a problem in any of those departments. I have been browsing for a couple of weeks now and think my problem could be a loss in receipts/permissions somewhere. I remember looking for a lost file awhile back using a hard drive search programme through Terminal. It filled my hard drive almost to the maximum with unwanted retrieved files, it took me hours to erase all this again (never found the document i was looking for either). Perhaps a receipt was erased/trashed at this time?. Sometime later (prob weeks) i performed a fresh OSX install to give me an uncluttered faster running machine (I do this once a year). I zero erased the hard drive (including free space) and it was during this install that i had to force quit. It seemed to be stuck loading the Chinese Script so i had no option. After this the problem as described above has been persistent. Is there a way to restore receipts/permissions through Terminal or something like that?. Or maybe a procedure that one has to do when installing a new hard drive?. A step by step guide from someone would be a real help as i am not really confident using these advanced procedures.

DVD drive problems after 10.4.7 updae

I successfully completed a 10.4.7 update after a nuke & repave of the internal hard disk. At the moment the only applications on my machine are Mac OS 10.4.7 and the iLife suite.
Since I installed 10.4.7 I'm having a problem with the internal DVD drive (PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-106D Rev. A612) not working properly. On the first boot with the new OS the drive wasn't listed in System Profiler. I rebooted and now the drive is listed, but when I put in a DVD I get the tik-tik noise of the drive searching. Sometimes (maybe 1 in 5 attempts) it does detect the disk and mount it. Any ideas?

There's a cludgy solution to getting access to the disks which I'm finding works sometimes.
I created a new folder, e.g. "dvd" in my "Documents"
Inserted a DVD and clicked to ignore the fact that the Mac wouldn't read it.
Then using Terminal I mounted /dev/disk1, using the "dvd" folder as the mounting node:
"/sbin/mount_cd9660 /dev/disk1 ./dvd" when I was in "Documents"
Then I could get into the folder. I've found that the "mount" command wouldn't do it, and neither did "mount -t iso9660", but mount_cd9660 seams OK.
Other things to note:
If you want to watch a movie, you can similarly "ignore" the error message when you insert the disk, and then go to the File->Open Disk menu in VLC.
But Apple needs to get this lot sorter!

I imported a CD audio book into iTunes 11, searching says its there, but I cannot find it. It does appear in my iTunes music folder.

Using Audiobook builder I imported an audiobook CD into iTunes 11. I can see it in my iTunes music folder on the hard drive, searching in iTunes 11 says its there, but in either the albums or list, it does not appear. I have successfully imported many CDs using Audiobook Builder before, but with this particulary book I have this problem.
Any ideas anyone ?

The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

Optical Drive makes noise twice on startup

Hi all,
This problem first appeared when I first changed my RAM from 4GB to 8GB last year.
After a year, the RAM broke down, failed the hardware test.
I replaced it and though the hardware test is passed, the optical drive noise issue persists.
The problem now is: upon startup, it's normal to have the optical drive noise ONCE, but my machine produces a second noise when it can't show up the Apple logo within 3 seconds, i.e. the optical drive searches for the hard drive again. (for a total of 2 times, it lets out the optical drive search noise)
To be more specific, when I restart it after a weird startup, it's normal again with just one optical drive noise (Only occuring upon the first startup).
I'm afraid it might be a repeat of history and the RAM breaks down after one year...
Thanks in advance.

rx,
I am having this exact same problem with my Macbook as well. I am very frustrated. My computer will be 2 yrs old in August. Within the last few months, I have had the battery replaced for burning up the computer (June '07), the optical drive replaced (Nov 07), and the hard drive replaced (Feb '08). It appears I am going to have to take it back to the mac store to get this fixed. This has been going on for a month and I have tried everything including Disk First Aid to try to get it stop! Please post if you find something else! Meanwhile, I will say the apple care warranty was a better investment then the computer itself. I have been VERY DISAPPOINTED with the product and I have had Mac products for years (Mac Performa, iMac, eMac, iPodmini).

Can't add printer, stuck in the eternal "searching for new drivers"

ah, the leopard upgrade mixed blessing continues....
so of course i have no printers available now that i've installed leopard. and of course i need to print TONIGHT. so i went to add the printer while it was plugged into the port - - and this is AFTER reinstalling the drivers from the cd, AND installing all the printer drivers from the leopard cd (this is an epson stylus photo 1400). And i click to add a printer, and the epson stylus does appear in the list, and proceeds to "search for new drivers" before it will let me do anything.... and it spins forever.
it doesnt help that i'm also having the internet problems that many people are having now too.... and i'm not sure if it's consistent, but i think my internet does cut out eventually after it goes into this driver search.
any help at all?
thanks in advance-----
rita

Just wanted to add another voice to this chorus of dismay. While I have properly installed Leopard; re-installed the manufacturer driver (brother HL-2040) reinstalled the Leopard Printer drivers from the optional install Leopard folder, when I go to find printer drivers (none show up initially) I end up getting a pull down menu offering Canon IJ; Epson FireWire;Epson TECP/IP/and HP IP Printing; and that's it. None of the drivers installed show up not even the one brother HL-2040 installed from the manufacturer's disc.(which is all this modest user needs.)
The bottom line: I can't print anything. I tried the reset option mentioned in one of your posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mitchull

Looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USB-A driver for Agilent E7401A

I am looking for LabView 6i GPIB-USA-A driver for Agilent E7401A EMC ANALYZER.

Hi,
There is a driver for this device available for downloading from the National Instruments Instrument Driver Network. Here is a link to the download page:
Multi-Environment Certified IVI Instrument Driver
Unfortunately, however, this driver is only available for 7.0 and 7.1. Unless someone else on this message board has created one for 6i, you will need to create your own.
The other option is to upgrade to LabVIEW 7.1, which I highly recommend. There are many improvements over LabVIEW 6, including Express VIs, Event Structures, and many others. You can see the new funtionality of LabVIEW 7.1 with a free online demo version at this link
Try LabVIEW 7.1 FREE Online
If you are interested in upgrading, you can call your National Instruments Technical Sales Representative at (888) 280-7645. Have a great day, and good luck with your driver search.
