Drivers do not pass windows compatibility testing

MSI K7N2G Motherboard
Athlon 2400 xp
Seagate 80 GB SATA Hard Drive
I am building a new computer and whenever I reinstall Windows or am installing windows xp for the first time, I get warnings that the drivers do not pass windows logo compatibility testing. This happens for the Promise SATA drivers that I had to install to install windows xp in addition to pretty much all of the nforce2 and nvidia drivers. Are these drivers okay and just aren't recognized by windows or are there problems? Thanks

mmlemay,
It just means you have drivers that the Microsoft Techs have not finished playing with. When it comes to nVidia Drivers, I would not worry if they have not been approved by MS yet. nVidia has one of the Driver Coders on the market.
Take Care,
Richard

I'am using the Acrobat Wizard tool to customize Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro to run create Adobe installed to run siliently within our network but I recieve the following hardware prompt to complete the install.
During the install of the Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro I recieve a Hardware Installation prompt:

Continue your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing.
Is there any way I can download the drivers before I run the installation or is there a patch for Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.

When I start itunes i get the message "Itunes was not properly installed if you wish to burn Cds you will need to reinstall itunes" Any ideas what i should do anyone?
That sounds like the GEAR drivers that iTunes uses for burning and importing aren't going in properly. (or there's damaged GEAR drivers for an old install stuck on the PC.
Perhaps manually uninstalling and reinstalling the GEAR drivers can get you past this. There's instructions for that on the GEAR wiki:

Acrobat Pro 9 has not passed Windows Logo testing??

Bought download of Acrobat Pro 9 today. Installation on Windows XP Pro seemed to proceed well. The a pop-up window said The sortware you are installing for this hardware Printers has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatability with Windows XP. then a link to "why this is important" and further warning "Continuing your installation of this software may impari ro destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the hardware vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing."
Choices are Continue Anyway or STOP Installation
What does this mean? What do I do to get this upgrade installed and functioning correctly?

try downloading and saving a fresh copy of the installer to your hard drive. (run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antispyware and antivirus applications prior to the install.

Software CD has not passed Windows Logo testing???

This is what it showed when I was installing the softwares from the CD which came with my N73 music edition... "...has not passed Windows Logo testing"
I still clicked on "continue anyway" tab and went ahead... But now the data cable doesn't connect to the softwares. For transferring music, I clicked on media player option and it said messaging is using my memory card, so first change settings in messaging. On clicking Nokia PC suite option, it keeps on detecting the device but nothing happens...
My PC has Windows XP only, the CD's cover shows its compatibility with XP... what can be the problem then??

you can generally ignore the error message if you are using trusted software ie from nokia etc as it just means your operating system is unable to verify its authentisity (sp) but for transfering data your better to select data transfer when connecting the usb and then dragging and dropping the files into the handset.
go to my computer then open the icon called removable disk, there will be a folder called music or something similar -this is your phones mass memory, drop the songs into here.
hope this helps

"Not passed Windows logo testing" message

I just download iTunes 8 and partway through the install got a message that said "software has not passed Windows Logo Testing" and that this could compromise my system.
The older version of iTunes worked just fine, is there anywhere I can download the older version?

Just to establish a good base line I am going to have you uninstall and reinstall the printer from our website rather than the CD-ROM that came with the machine.
First if you use a USB cord, make sure to remove it. Do not plug it back in until the software directs you to. Then go through the Devices and Printers, Programs and Features and Device Manager folders and insure that all copies, files, and programs related to the printer are removed. Then as directed, restart the computer.
In the START menu type "%temp%" and press ENTER. Here I want you to press Ctrl+A and hit DELETE. Some of the files will not allow you to delete them, skip those files and delete the majority that allows it.
Then follow this link to download the full feature software and drivers for the printer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=5061073&
Install that using the USB >> Wireless setup wizard and establish a static IP (video below on that) :

"Software has not passed Windows logo testing"

My sister just bought a new 30G Ipod. During the installation a window popped up saying
"The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP"
However my dad also has a 30GB Ipod that he's had for a few months now and its working just fine. So I guess my question is
(1)Is there a difference in the systems or something that the new one isn't compatible?
(2)Is there anyway to perhaps have it tested somehow by the computer or some other solution to get past this?
(I myself don't know much about Ipods or Apple products so I apologize if this is a doofy question!)

Pop Up: The software you are installing for this hardware has not passed Windows Logo testing - AntiVirus

When deploying Endpoint Protection with SCCM 2012, some workstations are getting a popup saying:

testing and it references "Antivirus". Upon clicking continue anyway it finished installing.
I'm not able to duplicate it on command and not sure why it's happening. Anyone else see this or have ideas on how to troubleshoot?

Without a real screenshot (and maybe even being there), it's hard to say. IME this is not normal behavior and my first thought is that this is actually some malware causing this.

Itunes 7.6 update not passing windows logo testing for compatibility

I have tried to update itunes 3 times. It downloads fine but when it gets to the installation part, I get a warning from windows saying that this software has not passed the windows logo test for compatibility and that if I proceed with the installaton, The system may get impaired. So I stop installation, but eventually I have to update itunes. My ipod gets updated but itunes is not. Lately I've been having problems with my ipod acting buggy. Is this familiar to anyone? Why is this happening and what do I need to do? Thanks!

Need software that has passed windows logo testing

can not install the wireless Officejet 6500. The 6500 is installed on the network. Message while do installation is "windows logo testing failed to verify compatibilty with windows XP" installation will not go beyond this point. The odd part of this is that I had it installed at one time and then the installtion failed.
I have tried your XP solutions and here is the message I received "an error ocurred during installation. The driver can not be installed because it is either not digitally signed or not signed in an approtriate manner"
Where do I go from here?

Hi callison11,
On the Software Installation screen with the 'Windows logo testing ' error, click Continue Anyway .
NOTE:You might receive more than one prompt about the software not passing Windows logo testing. Click Continue Anyway each time you receive the prompt.
Windows logo testing is part of Microsoft's WHQL (Windows Hardware Quality Lab) program, which helps customers identify products that are compatible with the Windows operating system. WHQL certification is not related to product functionality. You can still install and use the HP printer and software without the WHQL certification.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions until you get to the Found New Hardware Wizard screen. This screen might include a list of products and prompt you to Please select the best match for your hardware from the list below . Leave the selection at the default, and then click Next .
3. Continue following the on-screen instructions to complete the HP software installation.
If I have helped in any way, just click the Kudos star on the left. Also, if your issue has been resolved, don't forget to select Accept as Solution

Satellite A300 does not pass BIOS self-test

Hi!
My laptop does not pass self-test in the BIOS. Inscription "Toshiba Leading Inovation" does not disappear. So what to do?
The buttons are not active.

Hi
That means your screen is completely black and you can see nothing? Thats strange but you can try this workaround:
-Try removing the battery and the AC adaptor
-Wait at least one hour or one night (no battery and AC adaptor should be connected)
-Connect battery and AC adaptor again
-Try to start the notebook as usual
If the same problem occurs you should contact an authorized service provider. It seems to be a hardware problem :(

Windows media player extension is installed but does not pass the plugin test...what do I do now?

I followed the instructions to install the Microsoft Media Player Extension in order to be able to listen to the radio in the Youtube Toolbar. I checked to make sure it was installed as per the instructions, then I tried the test that is provided in this link: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/testpages/wmp11.html, but the screen was just black, and the radio still doesn't work...what should I do now?

OK...but I still can't get the radio to work...I get an error message that says:
"None of the Radio Player's stations or podcasts work.
If none of the stations or podcasts work, then check whether your computer meets all the requirements below:
- Operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/Vista or Mac OS.
- Windows requirements:
- JavaScript is enabled in your browser .
- Cookies are enabled in your browser .
- Windows Media Player version 9 or higher is installed
- If you have an older Firefox toolbar version, you may need to install Media Player ActiveX .
If you have met all the requirements above and the Radio Player still doesn’t work, please contact our Support Center . ''
I've done all of the above, all requirements are met, and it STILL doesn't work!! Now what please?
Last thing says "please contact our Support Center"...isn't this the support center...if not, please let me know who I should write to?
thanks,

IPhone drivers will not install (windows 7)

Haya there,
I have around 1100 photo's on my iPhone and I was planning to save some on my harddisc so I could free up some space on my phone itself.
Easiest way to do this is plug it in, open the iPhone as a flash drive and drag and drop really.
Now here is my issue:
When I plug in my iPhone it says the drivers have failed to install.
the "Apple Mobile Devive USB Driver" gets installed without any problems. However when it gets to the installing of the iPhone itself it fails.
Meaning, I CAN acces my iPhone trough iTunes just fine. Just not as a flash drive on windows.
Things I have tried:
I've uninstalled both the iPhone and apple mobile device drives, reinstalled them but with the reoccuring same error.
I've uninstalled and re-installed iTunes, downloaded it from the website to make sure I have the newest version.
I've uninstalled and re-installed my USB hub drivers as this was something someone mentioned while I was googling the problem.
I've tried plugging it into different USB ports on my pc, but with the same error when it tried to install the drivers.
I've restarted my pc multiple times in the vein hope that the magic of the restart would cure all.
Noticable:
I've plugged in my phone onto my old laptop (windows vista) and the phone got recognised there without problems. So the problem will be within my desktop, not the phone or cable.
- I use a desktop running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit with Service Pack 1
- I'm running iTunes version 11.0.2
I know I can transfer the photo's to my pc using my photostream. At this very moment Im transfering the photo's to my laptop as it is working on there. Where Ill dump them on my external harddisc. But I still want the problem fixed for next time. I should be able to just plug in my phone and get acces to my photo's even when there is no wifi around or when I dont have my laptop at hand.
Thank you in advance for your help

Having more storage in your iCloud account does not expand the storage on your phone. If you don't have enough free space on your phone to update, you'll have to delete some data to do so (such as deleting all your music, then syncing it back to your phone after you update).
Also, backing up your photos to iCloud only allows you to restore them to your phone later if you ever need to, it doesn't allow you to access the photos from iCloud. It also doesn't give you more space on your phone as it only backs up your photos, it doesn't delete them from your phone. If you want your photos in iCloud, turn on photo stream. This will actually take more space on your phone, not less, as you will get a duplicate photo in your photo stream album to the one in your camera roll.
If your storage isn't increasing as you delete data from your phone, try deleting your iCloud backup and backing up again.

W500 not passing the Multicore Test

I run the Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox diagnostics test, and it rise a warning in the Multicore test for the processor
Then I run the specific for the processor, all test passed except the last one, multicore test,
as solution it gives:
  Turn off the system
  Detach the power cord and wait for one minute
  Re-attach the power cord and re-boot the system
  Re-run the test
I did, and the test give the same results, should I turn-off-unplug-wait-re-run over and over?
Is it something wrong with the processor?
Or any driver?
