Help needed upgrading from Windows 8 to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

I upgraded from Windows 8 to XP and got everything else working except for the sound. I have scoured the internet and tried many versions of drivers from windows 7 ones to XP ones with no success. I tried older driver´s version as well. After a reboot there is no sound device loaded in the control panel for sound. I have a C845D-SP4327SL model laptop. Does anyone have any process to make this work that is proven? Thanks

hi. if you want to that your sound device was in control panel after a reboot , here is only one solution for that, all you have to do is upgrade first hdaudio bus controler. Driver must be copied first from computer with Vista os. if your xp is 32bit you have to copy this driver from any Vista x32 if your xp is 64 bit then Vista must be x64 as well. driver for forced upgrade through device menager you will find in any vista os Windows--> System32-->DriverStore-->FileRepository-->hdaudbus.inf9689af2f
once copied that file from any computer equiped with Windows Vista , copy it on your desktop, next step go to the device menager and find in system device tab 2 entries UUA High definition audio and update both by forced update. You have to point exactly where is located your driver copied from vista. after this update your sound device will be in the control panel and device manager always and permanent.
I had the same problem with my xp instaled on satelite p500 and only this solution solved my problem with disappearing sound device after reboot.
ps. if this solution help you please tell us about it.

Help needed upgrading from Vista to XP for Conexant Sound Driver

Try these two sound drivers, Casey. The first one is newer (European date).

Help Needed :- Upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on W540

I have tried repeatidly to upgrade to Windows 81 from windows 8 and it fails I get the driver power state failure error and error codes 0xc1900101 0x40017 .
After 4 failures , i deleted drivers for Prinfing (pdf / printer drivers etc ) and some others i didn't note tried to do the install and it worked, except the first time i rebooted after logging in , it would not boot into windows 8,1 driver it came up with the driver error messages again and i was given the option to reset to factory defaults and i did.
After restoring to factory defaults i tried the upgrade and it failed again.
So can you help me , in how do i upgrade to 8.1

"I bought a ThinkCentre M83 which had a downgraded windows licence (windows 8.1 pro downgraded to windows 7 professional)." -
"... Now you want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 that was originally offered when you purchased the computer. The only way that I am aware of that would be possible is to purchase a retail version of the newer operating system. "
I would say either you did not understand it well / or you gave the wrong info. If Lenovo Think(Pad/Centre) has Windows 7 Pro downgrade preload (but Win 8 / 8.1 Pro licence):
- user gets media for Windows 8/8.1 Pro included with your Think(Pad/Centre) (I think until December)
- or now you must order it here (free if entitled)

Help needed upgrading from 4.1 to 6.2 for transfer to new Pre

I have a Sony Clie PEG-SJ22 that I sync on two computers using Palm Desktop 4.1.0 on each. The version on the computer in front of me lives in D:\Program Files\Sony Handheld. I just bought a Palm Pre and learned that in order to sync my data to it, I would have to first upgrade to Palm Desktop 6.2. I downloaded the 6.2 installation file and ran it. It recognized that Palm Desktop was already installed and prompted me to click "Yes" to upgrade it which I did. However the installation froze with the progress bar about 3/4 of the way through. I End-Tasked the installation, but now I can't run either the new version or the old one. (In fact the new version seems to have disappeared from \Program Files.) When I try to run the old version I get error messages about missing dll files. Before I try re-installing (or anything else) what should I do to make this go properly? Is there a problem because my old version of Palm Desktop was a Sony-Clie-branded version? Or is it something else?
Thanks

Thanks WyreNut for your quick reply,
I'm able to restore my system prior to trying to installing the update so that I don't lose anything with my current Desktop 4.2. I might be in a catch-22 as that, if I do a clean uninstall of v4.1 and install the v6.2, will I be able to hotsync my Sony Clie TH55 since it's not a Palm product but uses the Palm Desktop to sync???
Any other ideas will be appreciated...
Thanks
I did a search of the Forum for "6.2 and Clie" and found several threads. None were very promising.

Before trying to remove try re-installing CS3 right on top of the current install. Often re-installing Photoshop on top of itself fixes the install. If it does be sure to apply the cs3 updates.

Think Pad L440 laptop upgraded from windows 8.1 to 10 Need driver for video for window 10

I upgraded from windows 8.1 to windows 10 and most of my programs do not display correctly, I think I needwindows 10 driver for display.

Hi sorokateam, welcome to the forums,
you can find drivers for the L440 on the following support site. I would suggest installing the chipset driver before the graphics driver if you haven't already installed it.

Upgrading from Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 8.1 64 bit

I have Windows 7 32 bit. Recognizing I can't upgrade to 64 bit and over write the 32 bit system my question
I have multiple SSD. My existing winn7 occupies C:\
Can I install the new windows 8.1 64 bit on a separate drive and then rename it to the C:\ drive
or
Should I disable the existing win 7 root drive. Go through the boot process of starting Win8.1 in the CD, having it designate C:\ etc and continue the install. Then re-connect (if I need too) the other SSD for the data files
Or, should I shut up and let you advise me the best way to convert to Windows 8.1 64 bit with an existing Windows 7 32 bit :)

How To: Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7 pro

I upgrades from windows 7 home to windows 7 pro.
I could not use the anytime upgrade option, so I did a full install
I had a problem that I notice is common for many people, I came up missing drivers for my lan and wifi cards among others, I followed the advice given to others, and found chipset drivers and a few others, however, I had loaded some drivers already, so I am coming up missing the ntwork controler and the usb 2.0 crw. I am also missing the drivers for the camera, and special functions on the key board. I believe that the first step I need to take is to throw away some drivers and reinstall the chiipset drivers and others I have read recommended. However, I don't know what to throw out.

If you ask for help here, it's generally best to respond in less than a week to someone who's offered to help you. But, let's assume you were very tied up or away.
Regardless, your model's specifications clearly show that your system originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and that it came out in 2013. So, it's difficult to understand why you are upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. Oh, wait, I see your thread title says from Windows XP to Windows 7 pro, but in the text of your original post it says from Win7 Home to Win7 Pro. Again, this is a little confusing.
Regardless, as it's safe to assume you have already wiped out your Toshiba Recovery Partition in doing a clean install of Win 7 Pro. So, let's just try this. Download this Toshiba utility, double click to begin installation.

Please let us know what happens. Good luck.

Unkown device after upgrading from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

Hi I have n HP 255 G3 Notebook and I have just upgraded from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. An unknown hardware item has appeared in the Device Manager with the hardware ID "ACPI\VEN_ASD&DEV_0001". Could you please help me install the device properly? Kind regards Joey

Its your AMD graphics driver. See answer by Paul http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video/need-drivers-for-hp-2000-ACPI-ASD0001-2/td-p/4780295

Customer Service would not accept XP Laptop under "Upgrade from Windows XP" promotion

I was told by customer service at my local store (Store 199) that my old XP laptop was not eligible to trade in under the "Upgrade from Windows XP" promotion because the battery was no good. The laptop powered on and successfully booted up. According to the fine print for this promotion, "Device must power on to be considered working." I could not find any wording that the battery had to be good and the associate would not or could not point me to this specific exclusion either.
I realize the laptop is old and would only qualify for the $25 gift card and $75 coupon. Is there anything that can be done to get this laptop traded in under this promotion?

Greetings siggy228,
Expecting to receive the promotion without any issues would be exciting, but that much more disappointing if you found out otherwise upon a visit to the store. While the promotion details state a few specific situations that would be common for a unit to not qualify, it does state that not all products are eligible for the promotion. I am sorry for any disappointment that this promotion may have caused you.
That being said, it would make sense that your laptop would have to power on without being plugged in for it to be considered working as CrimsonRain suggested. Can you elaborate on what is wrong with your battery that it would cause your laptop to not be eligible? Does it need the AC adapter to power on?
Any additional information you may be able to share would be greatly helpful in my research of your issue!

Upgrading from windows vista to windows 7

I am upgrading from windows vista to windows 7. The upgrade I am using is going to delete all of the information I currently have on my hard drive.
I have itunes set up with all of the correct artist/album/track/cover image information for my files. I also have consolidated all of these tracks to an external hard drive - no mp3s in itunes are stored on my local hard drive. I consolidated these tracks after I edited all of the artist/album/track/cover image information.
My questions is this. Once I reinstall itunes on windows 7, when I import these tracks from the external hard drive - are the edits to the files (artist/album/track/cover image information) going to be shown in itunes like they were prior to the windows upgrade? I have a large number of tracks that I have invested a huge amount of time into and I really don't have the time or patience to duplicate the effort.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance for the help.

Officejet 8620, fail to print, windows 8.1 (upgraded from windows 8)

I have spent many hours trying to resolve an issue on a Dell Vostro laptop, that was upgraded from Windows 8 pro to Windows 8.1 pro and has the latest updates installed. When printing, the print is delivered to the print spooler, it is there momentarily, then disappears. Nothing is delivered to the printer, and no activity is observed at all on the printer. This is on 2 different 8620 printers. I am able to install and print to a laserjet M1217mfp from the laptop with no problems. A different machine that was loaded directly with windows 8.1 prints perfectly to the 8620 printers.
I have tried the following with no success:
1) Install from original HP 8620 installation CD
2) HP Print and scan doctor - remove the print driver and download latest software . ( 3 times)
3) Manually deleting all printers, Stop spooler service, delete print driver from Print Server Properties, uninstall all HP software, reboot and install from latest print driver OJ8620-198 downloaded from this link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL51217/bi-124140-4/OJ8620_198.exe
4) Same procedure as step 3, including stop spooler, rename C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3 to C:\Windows\System32\spool\drivers\x64\3.old. Reboot and install from latest driver as above.
5) Run level 4 on HP Officejet Software and Driver Removal Utility from the link below and reinstall : http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=za&lc=en&softwareitem=mp-110134-1
6) Same procedure as step 4, as well as removing printer registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows x64\Print Processors except "winprint" key. Delete all HP folders in C:\Program Files\HP. Reboot and reinstall latest driver.
7) Follow the manual procedure described in Microsoft KB2987964 "Cannot print by using a Hewlett Packard XPS-based print driver after you install KB2769165" http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2987964 Version of hpbxpsrender.dll is 0.3.7600.16385 consistently through all of the steps listed.
9) Create a new local administrator account on the laptop. Follow the procedure in Step 6.
The issue seems to be that the spooler discards the print immediately and it also seems to be related to the upgrade from windows 8 to Windows 8.1 but only for Officejet Printers. The only option I have not tried yet is to format and reload the machine with Windows 8.1 Pro, but this is a drastic step to resolve a problem that should be resolved by HP based on the many reports posted on the Internet by users experiencing this issue on OfficeJet printers.
What can be done to resolve this?

Hi @Electronza ,
Thank you for providing all the detailed steps you have already tried to resolve this issue. I would like to help you out today.
I have provided a document with some steps for the Print Jobs Disappear from the Print Queue and Do Not Print (Windows 8). Go to Step 4: Rename the HPBXPSRENDER.DLL file, since you have already tried the other steps.
Please take a look at this document from my co-worker, if the issue persists. The driver installed might be the Class Driver and not the HP Full Feature drivers. Missing or partial print issues on Windows 8 / 8.1.
Please provide in detail the results if you are still having issues.
Have a great weekend!
