Hi:
You may need to reinstall the graphics driver, but I think it is the same one you have now.  It is from 2012 and so all they did was say it was good for W8.1 too.

If that doesn't work, then unfortunately I don't know what the issue could be.

    Is Adobe acrobat 6.0 CE compatibile with WIN 8.1 Pro 64bit version?

    I don't think so.  You will probably not be able to activate that old of a version anyways due to it no longer having a supporting activation server.

    Hi,
    Please also check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.
    In addition, also check Device Manager, if similar driver already installed, try to uninstall them and reinstall new driver again for test.

  • HP Pavilion x360 touchscreen stops working with Win 8.1 pro

    I currently have a HP Pavilion x360 2in1 convertible laptop.  The model # is 11-n010dx.  My issue is the touchscreen was working just fine with Win 8 on it, however, I need to be able to connect to my work network and that requires Win 8.1 pro.  I did the upgrade to Win 8.1 pro 64-bit and the touchscreen is not even recognized by the OS.  It states "No pen or Touch input is available for this display."  I have installed all of the drivers, nothing is missing from the device manager.  I try to install SP57846 but get an error that states that my computer does not meet the minimum requirememnt for this update.  I just need drivers to run my touchscreen in Win 8.1 pro 64-bit.
    Thanks

    Hi @ThundarTheOrk ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion 11-n010dx x360 and the Touchscreen not working correctly after a Windows 8.1 update. Here is a link to a document on troubleshooting the Touchscreen.
    Here is a fix I found from Microsoft.
    The touchscreen shouldn’t need recalibration, but if you or another user has recalibrated it, it may affect the performance of the touchscreen.
    Here’s how to check or restore the factory default calibration using a keyboard or mouse:
    Press the Windows logo key Type Control Panel, then use the arrow keys to highlight Control Panel, and press Enter.
    In Control Panel, use the arrow keys to highlight Hardware and Sound and press Enter.
    Under Tablet PC Settings use the arrow keys to highlight Calibrate the screen for pen or touch input, and press Enter.
    Use the Tab key to select the Reset button, and press Enter.
    If the Reset button is grayed out, your Surface touch calibration is still at factory settings and nothing further required.
    Use the Tab key to select Yes, press Enter, and then follow the instructions on the screen.
    Hope this works for you.
    Thanks.

  • NI-VISA as default driver for USB device with another manufacturer's driver?

    Hi Labview Developers or AE,
    I have read the tutorial, "USB Control Tutorial Device" at link.
    I read a paragraph "If you do not know the USB vendor ID and product ID, to get them, plug
    the device into the computer and allow the computer to recognize the
    new device. Cancel out of the Found New Hardware Wizard if it starts.
    Open the Device Manager from the Control Panel and find your device on
    the list, usually under "Other Devices". It may show a yellow
    exclamation mark indicating it is an unknown device. Double click the
    device to open the properties. Select the Details tab and ensure that
    "Device Instance Id" shows in the attribute dropdown box. A string of
    characters will be displayed similar to Figure 3. The four characters
    to the right of "VID_" and "PID_" are your vendor ID and product ID,
    respectively. Write down the characters for your device, close the
    Device Manager, and unplug the device from the computer. Alternatively,
    you can contact your device vendor to obtain this information."
    I am wondering if it is okay to install two drivers together and do labview with two of them simultaneously. I am using Advantech USB-4716. I installed Advantech driver so that I can use Advantech-labview functions to control and measure. unfortunately, , there's no advantech function like reset.vi  in case of problem reading. So I wondering if it is okay to use NI-VISA driver by wizard as mentioned above and advantech-Labview functions together. I have not figured out  how to reset Advantech USB-4716.
    Pls  advise. Thanks
    Clement

    Hi Nicholas,
    I found the drivers in those links.
    First of all the customer must install our Device manager ( DAQ Tool ) and Driver
    http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/DownloadSRDetail.aspx?SR_ID=1-246K8V
    That's he needs to do always before using our devices.
    For LabVIEW he also needs to install in addition the LabVIEW driver
    http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/DownloadSRDetail.aspx?SR_ID=1-29WTFD
    It is the LabVIEW or LabVIEW DAQ , it depends on customer LabVIEW software that he is using
    After installation he will get in LabVIEW ready made VI ( examples ) to use from Advantech and also the Manual

  • Win 7 on a31p / need driver for graphics card FireGL7800

    All greetings from snowy Russia!
    I had to install Win7 on my laptop a31p, in general, I am very pleased with the speed and new features. All the drivers are set automatically, and even managed to get to work the battery icon in the system tray
    But there is one big problem: I can not find drivers for FireGL 7800 graphics card
    I wrote a request to ATI (now AMD) but ou redirected me to Lenovo, citing the fact that they do not write drivers for these cards.
    I would be very grateful for assistance in finding the driver for Win7 or la Vista!
    You can write me an email:     barmaley.russia  @  gmail.com
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    There is NO driver for Vista or W7 when it comes Fire GL 7800 because it's simply considered underpowered to run any of these operating systems.
    I've had to tweak the XP driver to get it working under W7, and results were less than spectacular, although not bad for a 7-year old machine.
    Hope this helps.

  • Help Required with 2pc Commit (Inet Opta Xa Driver for MSSQL 2000 on Weblogic 6)

    Hi,
              I was trying to use the "Inet Opta" Xa driver for MSSQL 2000 with
              weblogic 6.0.
              I get the following Exception when i try to get a database connection
              from a "Xa" Pool, in a transaction. The Pool did start up Correctly. Also,
              i have given SupportsLocalTransaction="true" in the pool declaration. And
              if i give EnableTwoPhaseCommit="true" in the Tx Datasource declaration,
              weblogic starts up, but without starting the connection pools. (also it does
              not deploy my ejbs in this case!).
              Could somebody help?
              Atleast, could somebody tell me when BEA is going to finish implementing
              an Xa Driver for MSSQL?
              Thanks,

              Hi Sajan,
              Certification for MS SQLServer as a XA resource is in our plan for the near future,
              so hopefully we will soon find out if there are vendor bugs and also see if we can
              provide corresponding workarounds.
              Meanwhile, could you start the server with -Dweblogic.Debug=weblogic.JTAXA,weblogic.JTAJDBC
              and post the server log file?

  • Need to disable the touchpad on a Pavilion dv4150US laptop with Win-XP SP2

    Trying to disable the Synaptics touchpad.   Contrary to adviCe I have seen on the Internet, there is no dialog option for the toudhpad to select disable in my system.  The Windows device manager doesn't even list a touchpad device.
    The synaptics driver zip file is sp31075.exe and when unzipped it gives some alps drivers.   I have renamed these in an attempt to disable, but it continues to operate.  I suspect there is some generic driver in Windows which operates when the manufacturer's driver is missing.
    The touchpa is a nuisance because it is hard to keep the thumb from hitting it and causing the cursor to jump all over the screen.  @??/\#$&%*?~`!
    Thanks for your help to any who have found the solution to this problem.

    On my first hard drive (250 GB big) I have: Win 7 64 bit, all the programs for Windows and of course the EFI partition
    My second hard drive is 1 TB big and formatted in NTFS and it only contains data. It has 2 partitions, one is about 750 GB big and used for simple storage.
    Sidenote 1: sometimes my disk management (Windows' own gparted) shows either the little disk or the big one as disk 0. Don't know what exactly this means, but I have never ever experienced any problems whatsoever during use.
    Sidenote 2: the UEFI motherboard (ASRock H67M) cannot boot into Legacy mode.
    I want to install Arch on a ~200 GB partition on the second hard drive (the one with 1 TB). (click here if you want to see a screenshot) I am posting this because I am confused with how exactly I should deal with the whole "2 hdds & UEFI" thing.
    So how exactly should I proceed when setting up GRUB for this setup?
    For partitioning I suppose I would have to use fdisk or cgdisk. I used cgdisk before and found it to be straightforward. Then, because I have experienced my fair share of problems with rEFInd, I'd like to use GRUB.

    First thing you should do is become familiar with your motherboard.
    http://www.asrock.com/mb/manual.asp?Model=H67M
    This will probably help you out in understanding the sidenote 1 thingie (hdd's on sata3 and/or sata2 connectors)
    As on sidenote 2, according to the manual it seems to be possible to boot legacy mode,  see Storage Configuration.

  • How to install Solaris 10 with Win XP on 2nd Hard Drive

    hi everyone,
    I'm totally new to Solaris. As an enthusiast, I wants to install Solaris 10 on my Win XP PC's 2nd Hard Drive(40GB, empty) from Solaris 10 DVD.
    I need help from how to format 2nd Hard Drive to how can I configure the PC so it asks me which OS to load every time.
    I will highly appreciate everyone's help as I've just joined SDN. Many Thanx in advance, Jags

    Happened upon this post while searching for an answer to something else and figured I would give my 2 cents on what you are trying to do so as to offer you some other ideas, as in stuff I have done personally in similar situations, just in case the other suggestions don't work out (and to avoid repartitioning your main hdd if it is your ONLY computer with an OS you have available).
    Assuming you have a standard tower or mid-tower with at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay open, and if your motherboard doesn't support booting from a slave drive, and if you prefer a hardware solution so your OS installs are isolated from each other to be certain no corruption happens, like I personally do*. Then you may consider a pair of key lock internal hard drive racks (newegg search "hard drive rack ide" or sata). You would need at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay for the rack mount, then place the hard drives in their housings, each set as master, and you can stick in which ever OS drive you want, turn the key, then boot up (I recommend storing drives not in use in some large anti-static bags for protection). If you have 2 open slots, like I did on my tower, then you can connect both to the same cable and leave both in at all times. Just make sure ONLY 1 drive is keyed "on" at a time, or else you will get errors due to duplicate masters set. Also make sure you ONLY turn the keys when the system is OFF, the racks do NOT make the drives hot-swappable, it is only to offer an easier solution for using multiple hard drives on one PC so you don't have to open the case all the time and potentially damage the pins or the drives when switching them out.. Also you may need longer cables depending on the motherboard controller placement and the size of your tower, 80 wire 40pin if you are dealing with IDE (when you get longer I've noticed less 80 wire and more slower 40 wire cables). As always when dealing with the actual hardware, be extra careful, make sure power is off and PC is unplugged, touch the PC power supply if you don't have better solutions such as anti-static mat/wrist band, etc. You probably know all of this, but just making sure.
    *I lost a lot of data one of the first times I tried an open source OS many years ago (some Linux distro, I forget which), I tried to repartition my windows 98 drive, it worked fine for about a week booting between the two, then most my personal windows files suddenly were random sizes and random folders ended up full of garbage files with garbage file names among other peculiar things.. If I partition a drive I generally only do it BEFORE I put data on it or install OS's.. or at least make CERTAIN that I have adequate methods for restoring my OS and personal files (such as imaging my OS install to a larger drive temporarily, etc)..
    Anyway, was just offering some possible alternatives to repartitioning your main OS drive.. -TCP

  • Virtualization problem with Win 8.1 pro

    System:
    Packard bell
    Windows 8.1 Pro (x64)
    Intel Core i5-2320 CPU
    I am having problems installing Intel HAXM (for Android emulation). I get this error immediately:
    "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) ..."
    Running the processor identification utility, I get:
    Intel Virtualization Technology: No
    Intel VT-x with Extended Page Tables: No
    Both of these should be supported on my system as shown on Intel web page.
    I've enabled virtualization in the BIOS, installed/reinstalled new drivers, but nothing seems to work. Anyone know if this is just a "Windows 8 not supported" issue or if there's something I can do?
    Thanks,
    AL-Waseem

    This should be perfectly supported on this cpu and on Windows 8(.1), but maybe not by your system (motherboard). (check the notes in
    http://ark.intel.com/products/53446/Intel-Core-i5-2320-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz)
    https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows
    contains information on how to check compatibility and some instructions on how to install the software and/or configure the system (bios, drivers,..., turning of Hyper-V,...)
    if this is a 'not supported' issue, it will be motherboard/bios; check with Packard Bell for information on support of virtualization on that machine. There might also be firmware/bios updates available that address your issue.

  • Help with 2009 13inch MacBook Pro Hard Drive!!!

    My hard drive recently died on me and I'm new to everything about hard drives. To replace my old hard drive, I purchased a Seagate Momentus Laptop 320GB 5400RPM 8MB Cache. Is this the right one to buy for basic usage?
    Also, when I turn on my computer, there is a flashing folder with a question mark in it, this happened initially when my hard drive died. Is this happening because I need to install the installation CDs?
    Please, any help would be great!

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    That hard drive should work on your MacBook Pro. A question mark appears when your MacBook doesn't find any bootable partition to start, so you can't use your MacBook. To fix it:
    1. Replace the hard disk, insert the OS X disc and press C key while your Mac is starting.
    2. Go to Utilities > Disk Utility, select your hard disk in the sidebar and go to Partition tab.
    3. Select Options and choose GUID Partition Table. Then, press OK, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) in Format, and select Apply.
    4. Install OS X. When the installation finishes, open  > Software Update and update to the latest version
