Ethernet Driver Not Installed and Yet It Is - Network useless

Device Manager reports the network port on my W500 (4063-3FU) suddenly lacks a driver (Code 28). This is odd since I had manually installed it myself during the upgrade to a 64 bit (Win7 x64 SP1) ... because even the recent SystemUpdate utils don't work very well (as evidenced by the many tips on the forum to manually install things in a certain order).
Multiple attempts to install Lenovo's latest network driver manually appeared to go smoothly, but Windows still says there's no driver. Astra32 calls it an Unknown device which may be odd, and the diagnostic tool "Lenovo Service Center" (LSC) is too vaue to be of use. I am adding screenshots .
So I let Device Manager and Windows Update try to get an updated driver,but it could never find a driver. Or it would get various errors (Red X marks that tell the user nothing useful).
Programs & Features shows what i think may be the entry (highlighted in blue) for the network/port/driver but it's vague. I've been reluctant to uninstall it just yet.
Does anyone know what I should do next? I need to get the network port going.

What about the blue-highlighted entry in the last graphic (from Programs & Features)... Might that be the LAN driver? How could I check?
When I go here for the LAN driver
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu
It says Ethernet driver (Intel PRO/1000 LAN adapter software) for Windows 7 (32-bit, 64-bit), XP - ThinkPad is the driver for the W500.
The page on the network chipset is here:
http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w500/4063/3fu/downloads/DS019225
The network chip should be one of these: Intel® 82567LM Gigabit Network ConnectionIntel® 82567LF Gigabit Network Connection
Question is, how do I get the system to evaluate the network hardware? LSC is useless.

"airport card not installed" and can't open network preferences

I was earlier having the problem of no ip address and not connecting to the Internet and self assigning an ip address. I tried everything to fix that and on my last attempt I turned off the airport and shut down but now it says I dont have an airport card installed. How do I fix this?

Your running snow leopard which may be the case. Probably not but i recommend doing a clean install of snow leopard if the problem perrsists.
Also I suggest going to the apple store anyways. I personally enjoy finding help on the forums but sometimes if you book in advance going to the apple is a whole lot simpler.
You might also want to try upgrading your operating system to Lion or Mountain Lion which may fix the problem.
Yet another option would be to open up the laptop (Voids your warranty) and check is the airpot card is loose and maybe not being recognized.

How to deal with the "driver not installed" message?

My issue, and it seems many others here have it too, is how to install a printer driver in the face of the "driver not installed" message.
In my case, it's an HP4160 Rendevous printer. I've deleted the com.apple.print files in the Library, reinstalled the software, made sure that BDC package, or whatever it's called is installed, even downloaded and run the printer fix software from Fixamac.
Nothing works.
I have the feeling this isn't a printer or driver-specific issue, but is an OS problem. Does anyone have a suggestion?

It appears the Deskjet 4160 will not work with an Airport. Connected via USB, the driver installs normally and the the printer appears to run just fine, although I haven't done much with it yet.
It simply will not work on a wireless network through an Airport. Frustrating, but workable by bringing the laptop to the printer.

TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed (using Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) Service Pack 1

I am using a ThinkPad T520 laptop. Lenovo Solutions Center keeps referring me (with a yellow exclamation mark) to the Device Manager and alerting me to a "non-critical" error. The message is "TCP / IP Protocol Driver - not installed".
I have found numerous pieces of advice for Windows XP and Vista - but very little for Windows 7. I have however tried the Microsoft "Fix it" solution and it had no effect.
I am still able to connect to the internet via Ethernet cable and wifi. It is however worrying that the warning keeps being raised.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?

Hi Tripplec.
Thanks for the reply. I am away from home at present without my ThinkPad, so will try it at the weekend. I am an experienced computer user but this is a brand new machine and I have never had a laptop that produced error messages without providing any suggested fixes. It seems that Lenovo is not suitable for ordinary home users, but only for computer engineers. Sadly that is not me... so before I plunge in, can I just check some details?
1. You suggest removing the offending network adapters in device manager. Which are the offending adapters that cause a TCP/IP protocol driver error? I am nervous of removing the wrong things and making it worse!
2. You also suggest that I go to Network Connections via Control panel, properties of adapter, Install and select the desired Protocol(s) and install them. Is that an alternative fix to 1 above - or an essential follow-on after removing the offending adapters? (Last week I searched the machine and the Lenovo support page of drivers - and never found a TCP/IP protocol driver. If you know where one can be found, I would prefer to instal a new driver, rather than delete other devices and hope that the machine reinstalls them later!).
Much obliged for your assistance.

Windows Updater Not Installing and Troubleshooter Wizard Is Not Working???

I am in need help desperately!
        I have tried to install the Windows 7 latest update since late October 2014 and every time that I have tried it has failed, this is messing with certain programs to either not run such as my Troubleshooter,
leaving me unable to fix the issue, and making my computer to run poorly as well as when I am on Firefox unable to load pages, do downloads, watch movies & TV, or watch videos on You Tube without having to move the mouse around to keep it running and just
freeze the picture on the You Tube and Xfinity but the sound keeps playing though. I am unable to run the Troubleshooter Wizard at all; gives me an error code 0x80131018. I have gone to the forums to find a solution I tried everything possible. Such
as trying to do all the maintenance; disc clean ups, compressing files to save on space, checking the disc drives for errors, defragmenting the drives, try to use the Fix It (MicrosoftFixit.malware.RNP.1343648269423620.1.1.Run, as well as: MicrosoftFixit.ProgramInstallUninstall.RNP.1343648269423620.2.1.Run,
as well as: MicrosoftFixit.wu.FISC.1341772369343897.1.1.Run,   and: MicrosoftFixit50123) all the these would not help.
        I also tried to run what information I received from viewing options from the Error Code 0x80131018 and all the HP Support Assistant and Windows Help and Support. These are some of them; SCUDownloader,
Windows6.1-KB947821-v34-x64,   HPSupportSolutionsFramework-en-11.51.0048,   HPSupportSolutionsFramework-11.51.0048,   HP CoolSense Technology - sp65424,   HP Notebook System BIOS Update (Intel Processors) - sp55068,

I also installed Boost, also ran the scans through my Norton Security, and so much more to try and fix this problem, I just can't remember everything that I tried I have been working so hard at solving this problem since of the effect of how this Windows Updater
failing at updating and Troubleshooter not working to leaving me unable to find and fix these issues.
           I am a Graphic Design Artist and I am pretty computer savvy but I am at a loss on this . If anyone has any advise on these issues please help me ASAP, I use my HP everyday and it is important for
me to have it for work purposes, concepts and so much more. My Mother got this computer for me when I graduated from college in 2012 for my graduation gift so I can do what I do.
Thank you so much for your help in trying to get this resolved without having to take it into somewhere and pay $$ that I do not have.

I recently had a similar problem - Windows 7 Ultimate. Apart from updates not installing and troubleshooters not running I started getting crashes and BSOD's
I checked that my Cryptographic services was set to auto (it was)
Press the 'Windows key" and and key "R" together   to launch the RUN box. Type
services.msc in the box and press Enter. It'll open Services Manager.
Scroll down to "Cryptographic Services" in the list. It should be set to Auto ( mine was)
I then checked my Windows updates to see when the problem started
Taking the bull by the horns I deleted the last 20 updates installed.
I restarted the computer and was amazed to find the troubleshooters working ok
I downloaded the Windows updates and installed them 5 at a time checking the troubleshooter after each batch. Everything was ok .
I can only assume the troublesome update was not re-offered or the one that installed itself was corrupt.

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
Can I simply download it and not install?
What if the App gets updated before I download it?
Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
Thanks.

There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.

Hp Officejet Pro 8600 on Windows 8.1 driver not installed

Using Windows 8.1 and HP Officejet pro 8600. The printer is installed on a wireless network. But on Device Manager, it says "driver not installed". Most printing tasks are successful, but for some I need to have the driver installed on the computer. I have tried troubleshooting, but am unsuccessful. I would appreciate help. Thanks

Hi emax,
Print a configuration page to get the printer's IP address. Printing a Network Configuration Page.
If you have a valid IP address for the printer then try and access the Embedded Web Server for the printer.
Type the IP address into your web browser's address bar. (Internet Explorer)
If it loads the printer's network page then the printer is on the network.
Power cycle the router, computer and printer.
Try printing again.
If the issue persists, add a new device if the IP address is valid.
Right-click the Start button () or the lower left corner of the screen, and then click Search.
In the Search box, type HP, and then click the icon for your printer. The printer software opens.
Click Utilities, and then click Printer Setup & Software Selection.
Click Connect a new printer.
Test the printer over the wireless network.
Please provide the following information so I can assist you better.
What is the printer's first 3 sets of numbers for the IPV4 address?
Could you access the printer's EWS?
Were you able to add a new device?
Thank You.

Problems adding USB printer - "Driver not installed" - but it is

Apparently, 10.3.9 has some problems with USB printers. For the record, I had already installed this earlier prior to the upgrade and everything worked fine - but due to crashing due to a faulty power supply - I've had to re-configure everything.
I, and many others in this forum, have found a strange problem when trying to add a printer (And yes, other people have asked about this but I haven't seen any answers at all that are useful. The only possible solution seems to be "upgrade to 10.4" and that is unacceptable. Does Apple check these forums?).
After clicking "add printer" in the utility, the software finds the correct printer (so obviously the physical connection to the printer is OK) and displays it with a question mark over it's icon and "driver not installed" next to it. I can't select this image or text.
After searching for a couple of minutes, a dialogue box pops up saying "New drivers detected. Do you want to reload the browser?" (I assume the printer setup utility is the "browser"?).
I click yes and nothing happens. No PPDs show up in the list. This happens when I select USB as well as Apple Talk from the printer-type pull-down menu.
How can I start printing again?

First, welcome to the discussions.
For the record, Apple does not normally respond to these Forums.
You mention (Due to Crashing) Whenever you have an issue with your machine it can disrupt in almost any area, and is normally caused by SOMETHING.
As of right now it would appear you might be chasing your tail.
When you choose to upgrade your Operating System there is No Guarantee that your Printer and it's drivers will work on another completely different Operating System.
Your best bet at this point is to drag all of your printer related folders to the trash, empty your trash, and plug your USB Printer (What KIND) into your machine directly.
Shut your machine clear OFF for a minute or so and do the same to your printer, pull the power adapter from it.
Now plug in your printers Power Adapter, Plug in the USB to your Printer to your computer and restart it.
Take the Disc that came with your printer and re insert it and download the Installation Folder and any utility folder that may come with it.
After you have done this don't try to print, Go directly to your Printer Manufactures Web site and search for the latest updates to your printer and the Operating System you are using.
These will more often than not download to your desktop.
You must drag these to the setup folder and or the utilities folder and then double click them to launch them. after you have completed this your printer should work.
One other thing, If you have Classic and or OS9 on your machine you might have to do the same for OS9 Applications , and Utilities for it to print in Classic. Don

PSE Backup wouldn't work: "CD device driver not installed; install PSE" didn't fix problem; Win7

I'm trying to backup by photos for the first time! in Photoshop 5.0 on a Windows 7 system. I get to "Full Backup" option, and get a pop-up that says "CD device driver not installed; reinstall PSE". I put my PSE disk into my computer, select "Repair... installs... missing files"; PSE re-installs, but I get the same message again when I try to backup. How do I find a CD device driver? (My DVD is formatted, but PSE can't find it.)

I just found a photoshop elements 5.0.2 update "patcher" and installed it. The install was successful but I still got the same message saying "CD device driver not installed". Might there be a problem since I'm now on Windows 7 and no longer on XP? I have no need to buy a newer version since Elements 5.0 does everything I need to do. Any other suggestions?

Hi,
I have the font installed and yet, my itunes looks weird. What else can be done?
Thanks in advance

- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer. If it shows in iTunes restore the iPod.
- If it did not show, see if placing the iPod in recovry mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.

Extensions Are Not Installed and Then Shown Again

Hi,
I am updating Jdeveloper 11.1.1.1.4 and there are 4 extensions that are not installed and show again every time:
Repository Harverster
AIA Service Constructor
AIA Composite Application Framework 2.4
Fusion Developer Guide update
The problem is much more in that this kind of issue with updates was in Jdeveloper since its beginning, than is the immediate need for this 4 extensions. Is there a reliable way to manage this issues? Why One should rely on a software with so basic and persistent problems?
Thanks in Advance
Fabio D'Alfonso
http://www.fabiodalfonso.com

Hi Fabio,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having troubles with these extensions. After looking at each of the extensions, it appears that they are being installed, but they are not placing a jar file into the /jdev/extensions folder which is what JDeveloper is looking for in order to determine if they are up to date or not.
I've filed a bug against each of the extensions.
This is not an issue with the larger IDE itself, or even the functionality of these 4 extensions actually. It's a bug in how these extensions are being packaged by their development team.
Thanks for pointing out the issue. We'll get it take care of as quickly as possible.
