You wont be able to use exiting Win XP drivers on windows 7. You need to get new drivers for Windows 7, and install them as per your convenience, ie manually or automate it via script GP

  • How to install additional drivers for a shared photosmart c6180?

    Hi, i am running windows 7 x64 and i have shared a photosmart c6180 on the pc.  I need to add additional 32bit drivers so that pc's that run xp 32 bit can print to the shared printer (i cannot connect these other pc's directly to the printer via network).  any way, under the sharing tab in printer properties, i can click on 'additional drivers' and choose x86, but then it asks for a driver location.  what location do i specify?  i've already tried c:\windows and c:\windows\system32, but it does not pick up any drivers at those locations.  i've also downloaded all of the latest drivers from the hp site, but when i run the executable and specify their extracted locations, for example, c:\users\user1\appdata\temp\7Z139A\, it does not see any drivers there either.
    any help is greatly appreciated!
    thanks!

  • I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011. Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    I've installed windows 7 with the help of bootcamp on my macbook pro 2011.
    Please help me how to install mac drivers for windows7 64 bit???

    You either download drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant and save to USB FAT disk, or you insert and use 10.6.x OS X DVD when in Windows and install and run the SETUP from there.

    Step 4: Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows
    After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.  The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and thefunction keys on an Apple keyboard. 
    The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and theApple Boot Camp system tray item.
    To install the Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Eject the Windows installation disc.
    2 Insert the Mac OS X disc.  If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    3 Follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.
    Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
    If nothing appears to be happening, there may be a hidden window that you mustrespond to. Check the taskbar and look behind open windows.
    Important: Do not click the Cancel button in any of the installer dialogs.
    4 After your computer restarts, follow the instructions in the Found New Hardware  Wizard to update your software drivers (Windows XP only).
    5 Follow the instructions for any other wizards that appear.
    6 Check for updated Boot Camp drivers by using Apple Software Update or going to www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
      If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers 
    If it appears that the Boot Camp drivers weren’t successfully installed, try repairing them.
    To repair Boot Camp drivers:
    1 Start up your computer in Windows.
    2 Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.
    3 If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorerand double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.
    4 Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.
    If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows  Logo testing, click Continue Anyway. 
    If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.
    Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

    You will need to create separate device types for each printer family installed at your installation or if each printer family require either simplex or duplex printing.
    1. Go to ‘Spool Administration screen’ by using transaction code SPAD from the initial screen of SAP.
    2. From the SPAD screen choose menu path Utilities-->for device types --> IMPORT (or you can run RSTXSCRP program from SE38, too).
    3. In the initial screen of “SAPscript Export to Dataset/SAPscript Import from Dataset” enter the following:
    a) Check Radio button for device type.
    b) In the Object Name field enter object name of the device type file (please see the table at the end of this document for object names)
    c) MODE must be IMPORT
    In the Ctrl parameters for file operation
    d) Check radio button for "From/on frontend" ( Generally this would be the default)
    That's it. Don't enter anything else. Execute by clicking execute button or function key F8.
    4. In the “Create Object Directory Entry” window that pops up, enter your development class and press enter
    5. You will get a pop up Window “Import from a Local File”. Browse through the Window to enter the filename in your local directory and click ‘Transfer’ button.

  • How to install BootCamp5 drivers for Windows 8?

    I have a Mac mini and have installed Windows 8 (64-bit) using Bootcamp. It works fine, but I hear that you should install some drivers. I downloaded them from the apple support website and put them on a usb flashdrive that uses the format "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    When I double-click "setup.exe", I get "This app can't run on your PC". When I run as admin it says that it can't find "D:\BootCamp\setup.exe".
    It may be worth mentioning that my mac is also running as a server (using the Mac OS X Server app).
    How do I fix this?
    Let me know if you need any more info...

    Finally, the solution! I just had to use another flashdrive. If anybody has this problem, all you have to do is just change flashdrive. In my case the pdf files were corrupted when transferred to the flashdrive, using disk utility seemed to remove most of the folders, and many other files were "broken" as well,  so change the flashdrive and it should work!

  • How to install unix drivers for Olympus MAUSB smartmedia reader

    I want to use my Olympus "Camedia" MAUSB-2 smartmedia card reader. I have downloaded a coupl eof drivers from the web
    USBDSSFDCReaderDriver
    USBSSFDCReaderShim
    These show up as Unix Executables in the Finder
    I have no idea how to install them. Can anyone help?

    Where did you find these files?
    I can't find any support for MAUSB-2 under Mac OS X?
    The only drivers I can find on Olympus' site are for Mac OS (not Mac OS X) and date from 2000 (which predates Mac OS X). Mac OS drivers won't work on Mac OS X.
    That said, I've never had to install any driver for any card reader I've used. Are you sure you need one?

  • How to install ODBC drivers ALONE in OUI?

    Hi, I need to install ODBC drivers in oracle clients, so I choose "Customized" installation and then the "Oracle Windows Interfaces" component. However, OUI will also try to intall the Microsoft Transaction Server component under the previous mentioned node, and also "Oracle Object for OLE" and "Oracle Provider for OLE DB".
    The question is: how can I install the ODBC drivers ALONE? I want to keep my clients with the minimal possible installation.
    Thank you in advance.
    Leandro.

    Have you looked at the 10g Instant Client? That's going to be a lot smaller and a lot easier to install.

  • How to install bootcamp drivers without installation disk?

    iam using my friends macbook (intel core2Duo 1.83 GHZ, 80GB, 1GB DDRII, 12"", white colour)Mac OS X 10.5.7 installed, and i hav'nt installtion disk, and i want to install windows on it, but how will i be able to install bootcamp drivers as i have'nt installtion disc.

    Look as a part of right click-2fingers at a same time you should press on the touchpad.
    and check your macbook,the slot where you put the speakers wire if the drivers are not install then a red light will come from it and if not then it means that the drivers are all install.
    and try to install the drivers from http://support.apple.com/downloads/#bootcamp
    Hope your problem get resolved.

  • How to install bootcamp drivers on Windows 8?

    Hello,
    Today I decided to install Windows 8 onto my Mac Pro running 10.8.5 in order to play games on Steam.  I started BootCamp assistant and made a 65GB partition for Windows 8, and when I tried to install Windows I unchecked the top box (not sure what it said now).  Now I have a Windows computer, I CANNOT get back to OS X.  The Mac Pro will not boot into OS X, it just goes straight to Windows every time.  I've read that there should be some place in Windows to switch back, but I cannot find it.  I tried holding down the option key upon boot up at the gray screen, it still goes straight to Windows.  I tried holding command R at the boot up screen, it goes straight to Windows.  HELP!!  I picked the 60.5GB partition to install on, could it have somehow erased my OS X partition?  Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers from Windows?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jared

  • How to install XP drivers for Bootcamp on Mac OSX v 10.6.7?

    I installed Windows XP Porfessional SP3 on my Bootcamp partition but when I insert the "Software Support" DVD that my Mac created it says that I have to be running Windows 7 only and does not install any drivers. I have been pulling my hair out trying to find a solution on the web with no luck. One road block after another. This should be simple.... I DO NOT want or have Windows 7. I want and have Windows XP professional and all the documentation states that I should be able to install and run Windows XP using bootcamp on Max OSX 10.6 and later and I am running 10.6.7. I tried downloading BCUpdateEXE.exe and running it on the Windows bootcamp partition but it does nothing. It will not run. I found an article saying you must first install Bootcamp 2.0 drivers and then run this update but I cannot find any copy of the Bootcamp 2.0 drivers on the Web.
    It almost seems like Apple is in colusion with Microsoft to force the latest Microsoft garbage down our throats.... when i baught the Mac I thought I was getting away from this horrible practice... seems not...???
