HP Pavilion G6-2244NR network, usb, wireless problems after downgrade to Windows 7

HP Pavilion G6-2244NR with networking issues. Okay, so I have a G6-2244NR that I had to downgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64 (SP1), due to problems with software compatibility. Install was originally done on UEFI GPT, wiped 8 and started from scratch with Legacy support MBR. Install went perfectly fine. However, I boot into 7 and I get the Network icon showing a red X. I then go into manager and note that there are no networking devices listed. Instead I have 8 devices listed under "Other Devices" with yellow exclamations by each of them. This includes the Bluetooth Controller, the Ethernet Controller, the Network Controller, a PCI device, the SM Bus Controller, two USB controllers, and an "Unknown Device". Bluetooth ID is ven_1814&dev 3298, Ethernet ID PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_8136, and so on. I have downloaded drivers out the wazoo. I think I updated the chipset but not sure if right chipset updates (Catalyst 12.6). Still no luck. Every time I try and install what I think are correct drivers I get a "Device not working" error on the LAN card. Can anyone help??
This question was solved.

HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j009wm Doesnt read USB Flash Drive After Downgrade to Windows 7

I Have Downgraded Installed Windows 7 Through Flash Drive But i need help. Windows 7 Doesnt read my Flash Drive anymore? It can read my USB Keyboard but doesnt read USB Flash Drive. I Have no Internet On The Computer, So that means i cant update my drivers. And i have some drivers in my flash drive i want to install, but i cant. I have read this: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-ENVY-TouchSmart-15-j040us/td-p/4576592 It doesnt do me any good anymore because i cant acces my drivers from USB

Hi: Looking at your other posts it appears you have painted yourself into a corner. Since there is no legacy or auto USB setting in the BIOS, your only option would be to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB to sata notebook hard drive enclosure, plug it into another PC so it can be read, download the applicable drivers you need and copy them to you user profile on the removed hard drive. The service manual, chapter 5 provides the removal and replacement procedures for the hard drive. http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c03733656 Reinstall the hard drive, run the drivers, and you should be good to go. These would be the drivers you need for your model... SM bus controller: Install this first and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=cp_127691_1 USB3: Install both of these and reboot. http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_139250_1&swEnvOid=4058 http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=6943835&swItemId=ob_133037_1&swEnvOid=4058

Why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

why is my iphone 5 having network and battery problems after the ios 6.1.2?

I also forgot to mention that when it did have power, it wouldn't let me shut it off to try and conserve the battery life. Right when it powered down it would power right back up.

Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit)

I can't reinstall Linksys Easy Link Advisor for WRT310N Wireless Router after upgrading to Windows 7 (64bit). When I went to Linksys site for solution for new drivers, it asked me for Hardware Version Number. This model doesn't show one. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Sabertooth is right. If you are able to go online from your Router then you don't need to install LELA software on your Computer.

Wireless problem after system update

After installing system updates to OS X 10.3, the system stopped connecting to my wireless network. I'm pretty sure the updates were the cause, because I downloaded and installed the updates over the wireless network. The problem is not in the network hardware, because I am posting this thread over the same network from and IBM Thinkpad (that still works on the network).
The iBook can see and connect to the network, but it does not recieve and IP address. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I found some fixes to this problem if anyone is interested:

Wireless problem after recent upgrade

Hi Guys,
I am getting really dissatisfied with Mac. I was avid mac user for last 7 years but recntly I see more and more problem with mac. I bought a new macbook pro few months ago. I have linksys wireless router. It was perfectly fine. I did the recent software update couple of days back and since than I am having problem with my wireless. Whenever I close the lid of my laptop and open it again, wireless get disconnected. Everytime I have to try to connect three or four times to get connected to wireless although every time it says the same thing that I am connected and my internet is fine. But If I try to open any webpage, it gives error that internt is not working. Did anyone else see similar problem after recent update.

What is the output of uname -r

If the revisions don't match, that is the root of your problem.
No, that is not the source of problem. It was my mistake. `uname -r` in arch-chroot shows the version of host machine's kernel. Thus, I got the correct kernel by pacman -Qi linux.

WiFi problem after upgrading to Windows 8.1 Lenovo R400 ThinkPad

I have this problem after updating to 8 to 8.1
Right after updating to 8 to 8.1, all of a sudden my wifi stops working. I used my philips external wifi usb stick and now I'm able to get the internet going.
However if I disconnect my philips usb I no longer get the internet because the built in wifi that came with the R400 ThinkPad no longer works. I went through the device manager and under properties it tells me, 'Device not working properly' however it is up to date.

Hi Matti,
Thank you for replying back!
I suggest you to reinstall the Windows 8.1, as all the windows driver will not update, if you have upgraded the Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.
Please download Windows 8.1 separately and reinstall the OS, I hope this may resolve the issue.
Note: I am not suggesting for clean installation, only reinstalling the same OS.
Do not update the drivers from ThinkVantage system update utility. I suggest you to uninstall the current drivers and download the drivers manually for Windows 8.1 and install it.
Below is the link to enter the downloads page and download updates accordingly, please click on "Select Product" then in "QUICK PATH" enter the MTM no. select the exact model.

Hp pavillion 500-185el graphic card problems after update to windows 8.1

hallo
after i done the Windows 8.1 update my graphic card is giving me some problem.
occasionally my desktop become black for 1-2 seconds and the background disappears.
I've update all drivers.
the problems started after the update to Windows 8.1
graphic card: AMD Radeon HD 8570
driver version: 13.150.102.0
thanks for support

Hey @jdudleyjones ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the card reader for your notebook is no longer working after updating to Windows 8.1.
You're probably right that it's a driver issue, however just like you I don't know which card reader you're using either.
Can you please tell me which notebook you have? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
It would also help if you could tell me the Hardware ID for the card reader. Here's how you find it:
Press Windows Key + X
Click Device Manager
Click View at the top and select Show hidden devices.
You will most likely find the card reader listed under Other devices as an Unknown device.
Right click on it and select Properties.
Select the Details tab.
Change the drop down menu to Hardware Ids.
Note down the first ID in the list (as you'll see they're all pretty much the same regarding the Ven_ and Dev_ numbers which is all I need).
Once you've provided this info I should be able to find the drivers for you.
Look forward to hearing back from you!

Lenovo Y570 problems after updating to Windows 10 from Windows 7

Hi everyone, I updated my operating system to Window 10 from Windows 7 four days ago and I am having a ton of problems. I lost a lot of my Lenovo interface options as well... One of the worst and most annoying problems is that randomly, for half a second, the computer stops and thinks which freezes up my typing. If I am writing something, when it wants to freeze it prevents me from typing that letter. It basically overrides my keyboard well it does that freezing for half a second. Also, when I have a drop down menu it will close when this happens or when I right click, the menu will disappear when this "glitch" happens. One of the biggest clues I found is under the task manager. In the Processes tab, when this "glitch" happens "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up for a half second. I am not sure if that is causing this problem or if something goes wrong and "Windows Problem Reporting" pops up because of something else? Is there a way to check and see what these "Windows Problem Reporting" are? My other problems are that my fan control does not work anymore. I had the option to control the speed and the sound of my fan before updating to Windows 10. Would Lenovo or Windows 10 ever going to sent a drive to fix this problem? Also, I can not control my GPU switch anymore. Before the update I could change my GPU from Intel HD card to Geforce 555M. Now I have no idea what GPU I am using and how to go back and forth. Is there a fix for this? Since all these problems occurred with the Windows 10 update, would it be better for me to go back to Windows 7 and wait to see if Lenovo and Windows ever going to create drives for Lenovo Y570? Is it advisable to switch back W7 and switch back to W10 later?

Problem after updating to windows 10

My laptop is HP Envy m6 1213 tx. Recently I have updated it to Windows 10. After updating to windows 10 my laptop slowed down. Even opening File explorer is also very slow. Not only File explorer every process and every application became slow. Please suggest a solution to my problem

Purple-Gecko...all that I can say is, "Boom!!!" You are THE man/woman, whichever the case may be.
The "netsh winsock reset" command worked like a charm for my machine (running Windows XP SP3). I have had two weeks of frustration with this issue and finally found your post which got me back online with the iTunes store. My problem accessing the iTunes store began once I downloaded and installed iTunes 10.5 in preparation to upgrade to OS5. Once 10.5 was installed, I could open iTunes and access everything except the store (which prevented any of my devices from being able to sync). I followed all of the suggestions that I could find in Apple Support and the suggestions that I was emailed from Apple's support techs. I unistalled all Apple software and reinstalled iTunes multiple times, and still could not access the store.
Your suggestion is the only "cure" that I have found.
I thank you, my iPod thanks you, and my iPhone 4 thanks you for taking the time to post this fix.

HP Pavilion dv6-1200. USB 'Recognition Problems'

Hello,
Not sure if anyone has had similar or same 'problems'?
With the Laptop directly in front and booted up, when I plug in devices in either USB sockets on the RH Side I have no problems with recognition at first attempt of attaching a device via its USB plug/cable.
When however plugging in to the USB sockets on the LH Side it is a completely different matter, and nine times out of ten, the device is NOT recognised!
When I subsequently remove the USB plug and re-insert it 'Bingo' the device on the end of the plug/cable sometimes gets recognised.
While I am not sure if the 'problem' is Hardware or Software related I would be grateful if anyone has had this problem and identified a solution which they are willing to share please?
The 'problem' has been on/in this machine since purchasing it new from the online HP Store.
Thanks

Zd1211 based USB wireless problems

I'm having trouble using a wireless USB device based on the zd1211 chipset.
Drivers load correctly when the device is plugged in but dhcp won't connect,
at lest not consistently.
That's the maddening part. I've gotten a connection a few times but often
enough to figure out a pattern.
Anyone else have experience with USB devices of this chipset?
-A

You probably want to use the zd1211rw driver which is part of the newest kernels. So don't install the zd1211 package, but you will also need the firmware. I'm working on a package for that, as you can see at:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/6438?histring=zd1211
Hopefully this is somewhat helpful.

Satellite A660 - USB boot problems after BIOS update

Hello,
I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and recently have update the BIOS to the latest version (1.80). Since then the notebook will freeze on the boot screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
It works without the flash memory connected and also if I connect it after I enter the boot menu or the BIOS setup. I can even boot from it like this.
As far as I am concerned this is a serious regression. Is there any way I can downgrade the BIOS version, or any other way to fix this issue ? I rely heavily on external USB drives.
Regards,
Claudiu.

I too am having problems with my A660 since upgrading to 1.80 bios - the HDD/SD utility, the pc health monitor and half the other toshiba utilities no longer work because they can't recognize the bios and actually tell me this... I get an error message telling me ''can't get bios type''...
On top of this I get the boot problem as well - I have to unplug half of my USB devices to get the laptop to boot properly...
And now - one month into owning my new A660 - after a hard drive failure, a problem with the Broadcom internal wireless adaptor I now have the internal TV tuner no longer working and have no idea how to fix it...
My gut feeling is that the sooner I can downgrade to the original factory bios the BETTER - and wait for another bios update to come along that is not faulty/buggy...
HOPE someone can help me with this...
John.

10.4.9....Are there wireless problems after this update?

I have one baffling problem.......I can't get a wireless connection since updating to 10.4.9. There are three laptops in the house, a macbook pro, a macbook and an ibook. Two days ago I updated all three to 10.4.9...boy do I wish I hadn't. Now I have a major headache with trying to get all three to connect to the actiontec wireless gateway which they used to flawlessly before the update. I have spoken to Actiontec and they /we have tested and rebooted, switched off and upgraded the firmware..they are stumped but just said change the router....mmm. Then I spoke to Apple UK and we tried and tried using DHCP manually, mac addressing and even no security but nothing. Strangely enough though we discovered that whichever laptop I used to reboot the router and then switched on airport it connected wirelessly so in other words the first that tried got connected then the other two couldn't. Ethernet connection no problems.
Anybody in the whole wide world got any ideas?. First time ever I have had a major problem with a mac.

I've had a similar problem with my iMac G5 and iBook G4.
Basically after a reboot they fail to join the network automatically. My SSID is not broadcast but this was never an issue prior to 10.4.9
This is a trivial inconvenience compared to the crashes when waking from sleep I've been experiencing. This is got really frustrating to the point where I'm using today to format and reinstall the OS, something I used to do regularly with XP but is a first for me with OS X.
I'm very dissapointed with Apple. 10.3.9 was rock solid for me meaning that I didn't upgrade to Tiger till 10.4.3 was out. I'm wondering if Apple are trying to prevent a repeat with Leopard by making 10.4.9 as flaky as they can get away with.
I am tempted to only upgrade the new install to 10.4.8 but my phone (SE K800i) is not supported by iSync till 10.4.9

Satellite L505-S5966 - problem with wireless driver after switching to windows 7

Hi,
I got this laptop in July operating under Vista. I had some problems then with getting my wireless driver to boot properly so it would pick up wireless networks and connect. This seemed like a common problem and I was able to find the solution here and fix it. I switched over to Windows 7 this month, and since then my wireless driver has stopped working again. I guess the driver doesn't boot - it won't pick up wireless, and sometimes when I look it seems like the wireless driver doesn't even exist.
Can anyone offer me a solution? I'm getting very frustrated.
Thanks,
J

I have the same problem. Moved the printer from XP to W7 and the colors are not accurate. It was a great printer under XP. Did you every get any response? What did you end up doing?
