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...???

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 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!

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/update drivers for CD/DVD player T60

My laptop crashed while I was in the philippines. Of course, I did not have the restore or recovery cds. The technicians did a good job, but now I realize that they did not do that good of a job.
I am trying to create the PC Doctor Diagnosis bootable CD and I have used Ashampoo (did not install toolbar, etc) and ImgBurn. Both products fail and cannot write to the CD.
My technical info is:
ThinkPad T60p 2613-CTO
Windows XP, fully patched
I suspect that the CD Drive was not installed properly as I could never get the autoplay to work. I am able to use software CDs and run them manually.
How do I find what drivers I need and how do I troubleshoot the CD drive?
Thanks!!!

How can I install gutenprint drivers for my Epson Stylus Color 440?

Good day all!
I have and old and useful printer -Epson Stylus Color 440- and just bougth a cable for connecting it to USB port. Add a new print on its Print and Scan Preference Panel and it was recognized inmediatly, but I was told there was not any driver to that printer.
Tried to set "Epson Stylus Color Series" on its driver but when I went to print, printer seemed to work but does not eject any ink. It seemed as if I were ran out of ink; its car moved over the places occupied by the photo and sounded as normal printing, but not a drop of ink. I checked on an older windows pc, and ink is full, printed normally. I also looked for its drivers on Epson pages, but it seems there are only available for previos Mac OSs, not for X.
A son told me that in his Snow Leopard MacBook White there's a dirver called "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" on his Print and Scan Driver Menu; haven't tried to print from his MacBook yet, and as I searched, those are open drivers.
I wonder if I can download and install that "Epson Stylus Color 440 gutenprint" from the web, of if there's a way to copy it from my son's Macbook, when he comes and check.
Thanks in advance for your help.

How can I install JDBC drivers for Oracle?!?....

i have a program that has this line:
import oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource;
that gives this error when I compile it:
package oracle.jdbc.pool does not exist
So I think I need to install JDBC drivers for Oracle. (?)
I went here: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/jdbc_111060.html]
and downloaded the files for JDBC Thin.
Then I followed this: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/111070_readme.html]
by entering these commands (I'm using Ubuntu):
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/ojdbc6.jar
export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:/path/to/files/orai18n.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path/to/files
When I type echo $CLASSPATH I can see that those commands worked, but it hasn't made any difference when I try to compile.
I still get the same error. Is it because I didn't do anything about the .so files? The readme page didn't mention them in the installation section.
Please help! I am so stuck...

I don't think you need the shared libraries (.so files) and given what I saw when I glanced at those pages, I don't think they'd even work for you, although maybe I just didn't read enough of it.
What happens when you type
javap oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSourceon the command line?
How are you invoking javac? Are you perhaps passing a classpath argument?
Are you sure that the path to the jar files is correct? Are the paths relative?

Windows Update installed the drivers for the wrong sound card?

I need serious help with this one.
It all started October 31st when I find that Windows Update lists an update for my sound card - a Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit internal card. I install it, reboot, and realize that my sound is not coming through the speakers (Note, sound was working before I installed this update. I'm not even sure if the sound card is processing to it). I realized that Windows Update seemed to have installed the drivers for the wrong sound card. It installed drivers for "SB Audigy" (it was originally SB Li've!), why they chose to be so generic - I don't know. I later find out that not even Creative's website has this updated driver, but apparently, only Windows Update is issuing this out.
But wait, it gets even more frustrating.
So I don't have System Restore enabled (big resource hog), and I need to go back to the older drivers. I originally do a driver rollback using the Device Manager, which made the drivers go back to what they were before - but still wasn't outputting sound. I think even though the older drivers were being used by Windows, the software that Creative issued wasn't picking up this fact and thought I still using the newer ones for Audigy. So I decided to uninstall everything and start with an actual driver installation executable from Creative's website (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe). What I found out was that if new drivers are detected, I can't actually install over them.
However, if I uninstall the drivers using the Device Manager, it'll automatically install everything - the control panel, the preferences, drivers, etc for the new "SB Audigy" drivers that were issued Oct 3st once I scan for hardware changes. The reason I need to scan for hardware changes is because if I uninstall the drivers from the Device Manager, it'll remove the instance of "SB Audigy" from the list. This causes problems for the installer for the older drivers (SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe) because now it thinks there isn't any hardware to install the drivers for (all because I haven't made the Device Manager actually discover my actual sound card, yet unless I press "Scan for Hardware changes" which as a result, will install the newer drivers from Oct 3st automatically. I hope this makes sense so far).
So now I can't uninstall the newer incorrect drivers so I can install the older ones for the actual sound card. Normally I heard that you can change something in the new driver's installation executable to properly uninstall everything. Only problem is, Windows Update doesn't exactly tell you where it's downloading the driver/hardware installation files. I know in the Software Distribution you can find Windows Update stuff downloading there - but I couldn't find the SB Audigy driver update it keeps installing while "scanning for hardware changes" in the Device Manager.
This was incredibly hard to put into detail, so I hope that it makes a little bit of sense. If you need clarification on anything please let me know and I'll do anything to help eliminate the problem. Just remember I have:
Windows 7 x64
Sound Blaster Li've! 24bit
I think the only problem I'd like to solve is - how could I install older drivers if Windows keeps installing the newer ones even after I uninstall them? Because right now, I can't do much unless I know how to get rid of the installation files for the Oct 3st update so it won't have anything to use. Another way to rephrase the question is, how could I get the Device Manager in Windows to display my soundcard as "Multimedia Audio Controller" for as long as I need so I can run SB24_PCDRV_LB__04_0090.exe which will then detect that there is a sound card that can use the drivers and install them properly?
Thanks for your help guys, I hope we can solve this. Because I've done everything I could. Hopefully I don't need to reinstall the operating system just so I can have sound working.

Click on Start> ALL Programs > Creative > Creative Audio Console.
Make sure speakers are set to 5. if that's what you're using. I like to Synchronize with Windows Control Panel. Turn EAX to No effects, and/or turn effects to 0%. On the CMSS 3D Tab, turn the Mode to OFF.

You need to install MS-SQL in ur pc.
And then u can find the driver.
After install u need to do this
For example
u need to press windows key and R.
then u need to type. odbcad32Complete and utter useless drivel and garbage.
I have no idea what would possess someone, who obviously knows nothing about what is being discussed, to use their very first forum post to post such tripe.
Just garbage. All of it.
This is JDBC we are talking about. Not ODBC. There are other serious errors too but that's your biggest one.

Can't install drivers for C7280 on Mac Air Hp says drivers at Apple who says no drivers, see HP.

I can't install the drivers for my printer Photsmart C7280 on my Mac Air running Mac OS X 10.7, Lion. The HP center sends me to Apple Updates which says no drivers available, see HP which repeats the circle.

Lion should include the driver you need but since its not working lets try this:
Let's uninstall with the 'scrubber option' like this:
1. Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller and click Continue
2. Highlight your device on the left pane
3. Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall
4. There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
5. Click Continue and let it finish
Now, run a Software Update. This can be done by clicking the Apple in the top left of the screen then clicking Software Updates.
Next, let's reset the printing system:
Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Default tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Finally, download and install the software from here.
Let me know how this works for you!
