Install Onboard Video Drivers from USB

Hi, my graphics card gave out and I think I may have uninstalled some drivers for my onboard gpu. I currently cannot get into Windows and I was wondering if I could reinstall the drivers from a USB and how I might do that. I've been trying to boot to the USB but no luck so far.
Thanks!

Clean install of windows 7 - how to install drivers from USB memory stick?

I purchased a Toshiba Satellite C50 loaded with windows 8 but want to revert to windows 7.
I have downloaded the necessary drivers and have mounted the .exe files onto a USB pen for installation.
Before I proceed to wipe windows 8 I'd like to know - if I install 7, will my trackpad stop functioning?
If so, how do I install the relevant drivers from the USB pen?
Thanks, John

99.9% sure that W7 will identify the trackpad and install it. You just run the exe's using file explorer or Start >Run then browse. You may decide to leave the laptop as the W7 install left it but you should check Device Manager to ensure there are no unrecognised devices

Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets.
It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings...
When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles.
I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one.
I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder.
I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where.
I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS 10.7.3
Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?
Thanks for your help

Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release. http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
Perhaps this answers question.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

Toshiba 40SL733g - How to play video files from USB flash memory

When I plug my USB flash memory in USB port, Media Player menu shows up with two options : Photos and Settings.
How do I make my TV recognize and play video files from USB flash memory?
Flash is on FAT32.
I have tried to play avi, mp4 and mkv files but nothing happens. It looks like flash is empty.
Could you please help me solve this problem.
Thanks!

bzunic, have you updated the firmware for your model?.
With my own set, (32RL900A), the instruction manual said that certain buttons on the remote control were "unused", however, after the first firmware update, the previously "unused" buttons were used, (In our case, Time Shift, Record, and so on).
The reason I talk about this is, these features became available after a firmware upgrade, and were not mentioned in the user manual, in our case, and a later download of the instruction manual for our model actually gave the instructions for the use of these features, which were shown as "not available", in the original instruction manual supplied with the TV, but became available after the firmware upgrade.
Let us know how it all works out ............

Cannot install Raid Drivers from USB stick on Tecra S series

I tried to install RAID Toshiba drivers (F6 stuff u know) using a USB pendrive and BIOS USB FDD emulation, though detected XP installation told me file sytem was unknown.
Any help?

Hi
I agree with Jeffrey. The RAID driver installation in XP OS can be done only from the connected USB FDD!!!
The Microsoft Vista OS supports both; USB memory stick and the USB FDD drive.
As you already said you have to press the F6 during the XP setup installation to include the RAID driver from the diskette.
The RAID driver installation works a little bit different under Vista.
The vista supports a button driver installation (or something like that dont know the exactly name).
Then you should choose the right path to the RAID driver.
Thats all

Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

I am currently in the process of installing the latest AMD Video Drivers for Windows 8.1 (64-bit) on a Bootcamp partition. I previously had three ATI Radeon HD2600XT Graphics cards (in CrossFire) installed in a 2008 Apple Mac Pro.
I've run into several problems with trying to remove the Radeon HD2600XT graphics cards and install the latest drivers (for the Radeon R9 290 graphics card) in Windows 8.1 (64-bit), so I am creating this to be used as tutorial for others experiencing similar problems.
1) First I created a new/clean system restore point in Windows 8.1 prior to starting this.
      Instructions can be found here: http://www.intowindows.com/how-to-create-restore-point-in-windows-8-1/
2) Second, I manually tried removing/uninstalling the AMD Software from add/remove programs in Windows 8.1 (Control Panel)
      In Computer Control Panel, select "uninstall a program"
      Select AMD Install Manager (and any Catalyst Software) and remove/uninstall the software (choose "express uninstall all AMD software").
      Be sure to uninstall the AMD Install Manager.
3) In my system, the hardware drivers for the three Radeon XT2600 graphics cards were not properly removed, and the drivers for the Radeon R9 290 were not properly installed.
4) I tried running the AMD Driver Autodetect Tool
      It stated "We were unable to find your product or OS" (and failed to download or install any drivers)
      AMD Driver Autodetect displayed the following information:
Graphics hardware: 0x1002 - 0x9588 PCIE
Operating system: Windows 8.1 64-bit
5) Since the latest software/drivers were not found with the AMD Driver Autodetect, I decided to manually download the latest Graphics card drivers from the AMD website for my graphics card and for my operating system (Windows 8.1 64-bit). I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD" and downloaded the latest AMD Graphics card drivers (Catalyst Software Suite 14.9) to that folder and unzipped the AMD drivers installation file. I unzipped the file which included the following drivers/files:
      Catalyst Software Suite 14.9 includes the following files:
            AMD Display Driver ver. 14.301.1001
                          OpenCL(tm) Driver
                          Catalyst Control Center
                          HydraVision
6) I downloaded and unzipped DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
    I created a folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and unzipped the DDU installation files to that folder
7) I ran DDU v13.5.1.3 (downloaded from 3D Guru)
      It displayed the following information:
DDU Version:13.5.1.3
GPU # 0000 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0001 Detected : ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM v1.1)
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_9588
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 8.97.10.6
INF : oem55.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_RV630
GPU # 0002 Detected : AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
GPU DeviceId : pci\ven_1002&dev_67b1
Detected Driver(s) Version(s) : 13.251.9001.1001
INF : oem63.inf
INF Section : ati2mtag_Hawaii
5) Based on the output above, it seems that some extremely old drivers are currently installed (v13.251.9001.1001), and I need to remove the old drivers for the hardware above, and try to install the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
6) I rebooted the computer into Windows 8.1 "Safe Mode".
    Instructions can be found here: http://www.7tutorials.com/5-ways-boot-safe-mode-windows-8-windows-81
7) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\DDUv13.5.1.3" and ran DDU v13.5.1.3 and selected "Clean and restart" (in DDU 13.5.1.3) to remove ALL of the existing AMD drivers and to restart/reboot the computer.
- After removing the current display drivers (in safe mode) with DDU v13.5.1.3 and after the system rebooted, I then tried to perform a "clean install" of the latest AMD drivers (v14.9)
8) Now perform a "Clean Install" of the new AMD graphics drivers. Steps for performing a "clean install" (from AMD's website) are listed below:
To perform a 'clean install' of AMD graphics drivers:
You should make a system restore point before attempting, just in case
1. IMPORTANT: All Windows Updates should be current, including the 'optional/suggested' updates
2. IMPORTANT: Disable all anti-virus/ad blockers/anti-malware/ anti-anything before trying to install
3. IMPORTANT: Netframework is required and must be the latest version. (from Windows Update)
Download the drivers for your computer to the desktop. Follow steps 1-5 ( http://support.amd.com/en-us/download ).
Do not use 'auto-detect and install (it might not detect your graphics card or best drivers).
Delete existing drivers from your computer:
In computer control panel select 'uninstall a program'
For computers with Intel processors:
Select AMD install manager and choose 'express uninstall all AMD software'
Including the install manager.
For computers with AMD processors:
Select AMD install manager and 'custom uninstall' the graphics drivers and CCC only.
Reboot into 'safe mode'
In safe mode run Guru 3D's DDU
Reboot
Install the new driver suite.
9) I went to the folder called "C:\Drivers\AMD\AMD-Catalyst-14-9-win7-win8.1-64Bit-dd-ccc-whql" and ran setup.exe (Catalyst Install Manager)
     I selected "Express Install" as the default installation (highly recommended).
10) Rebooted the system after the Catalyst software and video driver installation.

In the end, I found out that the latest/newest Radeon drivers do not support the older Apple Radeon 2600XT graphics cards, so I was forced to remove the older Radeon 2600XT graphics cards from the system (so the newest/latest Radeon Catalyst Drivers would work). I was then able to boot directly into Windows 8.1 Pro, and the AMD Catalyst software and AMD Catalyst Drivers worked perfectly with the R9 290 graphics card (in Windows 8.1 Pro).
The only problem is that the AMD R9 290 is not supported in OS X, and now I can't boot directly into OS X because the Apple OS X graphics card drivers are missing and don't exist. Apple hasn't added AMD R9 290 graphics card support to the latest version of Apple OS X 10.10 Yosemite (or 10.9).
I posted a thread here about needing the AMD R9 290 graphics display drivers, but Apple still hasn't added the latest AMD Radeon R9 290 graphics card drivers support to the latest Apple Mac OS X 10.10.1 Yosemite operating system.
Another big Apple fail!
So now we have a wonderful new high-end AMD R9 290 graphics card and all we can do is use our Apple Mac Pro computers as Windows 8.1 Pro computers, because Apple has not updated their Apple OS X operating system to support the newest/latest AMD R9 290 graphics cards. (So we're stuck with using our Apple Mac Pro as a Windows 8.1 Pro computer) because Apple refuses to add the newest/latest hardware drivers to their latest Apple OS X operating system. Anytime you purchase an Apple computer you are stuck using really old hardware because Apple fails to update their operating system with the newest/latest hardware drivers for the latest AMD R9 290 graphics card hardware.
The only way to use the latest/newest hardware is with a Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro computer. Hopefully Apple will get this fixed immediately, but it's already been close to a year now and Apple still hasn't fixed the problem.
We tried to contact Sapphire, and AMD, but both of them have said that it's a problem with Apple's Mac OS X operating system, and that only Apple can fix the problem and add the proper hardware drivers to their operating system.

Graphics Card Does Not Show Up In Device Manager (Re: Installing AMD Video Drivers - Windows 8.1 (Step-By-Step Tutorial)

This tutorial is a step-by-step tutorial on how to "fix" issues of a new graphics card not appearing in Windows 8.1 Pro, or not appearing (as a device) in Device Manager, or it's not being detected by Windows 8.1.
This is the "second part" of a Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
GRAPHICS CARD IS NOT DETECTED AND DOES NOT SHOW UP IN WINDOWS 8.1 DEVICE MANAGER
This problem can appear if the video card is not installed properly in the PCI slot and as a result the card is not detected in device manager. Check the physical connections again, reinsert the card properly in the PCI slot, check the connections (including the power cables going to the video card, and ensure that the fan on the graphics card is spinning and the card does have power and is properly seated/inserted) and then install the drivers from the manufacturer’s website.
If the video card is in fact installed properly, but the problem of the video card not being discovered/found by the operating system persists, then try these following methods below to check if this solves the problem.
Method 1:
First, I would suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem automatically detected and fixed. This Microsoft "fixit" App checks if the device is currently disabled or turned off or the driver is not installed.
Hardware devices are not working or are not detected in Windows.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems/en-us
Method 2:
Sometimes, some devices in device manager are hidden due to corrupt or missing drivers.
Follow the steps below to show hidden devices in the device manager and troubleshoot accordingly.
Press the Windows key + X
Select Command Prompt (Admin)
Type set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 and hit enter
Type Start DEVMGMT.MSC and hit enter.
Once in Device Manager hit the View menu and select show hidden devices.
From here, remove each instance of the AMD or Nvidia card you see as well as each unknown device. Exit Device Manager and reinstall the latest drivers you can find for your graphics card.
After you install the drivers, reboot and see if you get any different results.
If the above solved your problems and the Graphics Card is now working and is now being properly detected/displayed in Windows Device Manager:
If your graphics card is now being detected by Windows 8.1 in Device Manager, but has a "yellow exclamation" mark (or video drivers are not found or not properly installed or the device is disabled) then install the latest graphics card drivers and proceed with this Step-by-Step Tutorial on how to install AMD Radeon graphics card drivers in Windows 8.1 Pro.
Method 3:
If methods suggested above does not help, I would recommend you to contact Apple/AMD/NVIDIA to get the latest chipset, BIOS, graphics card drivers installed properly.

How to install latest video drivers on Bootcamp?

Currently running bootcamp on Windows 7 Ultimate using Bootcamp 4.0. The video driver that I need is the latest driver for the Nvidia 9600M GT. My software updates (Apple) on Windows 7 state that I have available updates. It's not possible with this graphics card to install the latest driver through Nvidia's website the easy way due to it stating I need to contact my manufacturer. This is a dangerous loop, and I know my driver is old for my GPU because my driver says it's from 1/19/2011. In addition to that, the games that I play on Windows 7 also state that my drivers are out of date.
Thanks!
Zach

Have posted this over and over again. TAKE A LOOK.
You have to install Apple chipset to enable the device. Can't see it. Nviidia won't auto detect a Mac ever, unless you have a PCIe card you install of course and easy to swap out (Mac Pro tower).
After you install Apple BC drivers, guess what? uninstall the nvidia device driver adn program and use Driver Sweeper 3.2 to deep clean, and may as well run CCleaner 3.x as well (Registry tool also).
Same for audio but that goes a lot easier (Realtek or Cirrus drivers).

Problem installing 10.8.5 from usb - looping...

My HD failed. I installed new hardware. Went from Hitachi (2T) to WD (4T) - temp sensor not compatible so fan loud, but that's ok...
Tried to restore from time machine backup, but wouldn't work - something about recovery partition. Had already partitioned the new HD correctly (journaled, GUID). Read that I might try installing OSX to the new HD from USB first, but that all I had to do was go through the 1st reboot. Tried the stop the install at that point, but it wouldn't stop. Finally was able to point at USB disk, but keeps trying to install and now saying installer had a problem... Can't get the computer to start up from the USB drive even when I hold the option key down - just comes back saying there was a problem with the installation. When I look at disk utility I see a disk2, Mac OS Base System... Can't remove it even when repartitioning the new HD again. At a loss here on what the do now.
My ideas:
1. Create a new bootable USB?
2. Boot to Safe mode or somehow reset the HW somehow? PVRAM?
Help!

Thanks for the response. I'm not sure about the necessity of the first suggestion - I created a bootable USB drive from the 10.8 installer which I downloaded - it was in the Applications folder. I used a file in SharedSupport - InstallESD.dmg... Essentially I followed the DIY part of this link:
     http://www.cultofmac.com/180925/how-to-make-a-bootable-disk-or-usb-drive-of-os-x -mountain-lion/
Safe mode - I thought I might be able to boot into safe mode from the USB - guess not.
I don't get much of an error now. All it says is:
     There was a problem installing "Mac OS X".
     Try reinstalling.
Then there is a button for OK. When you click OK - nothing happens.
Next to the apple (upper left) I see "OS X Installer". Then there is a File, Edit, Utilities and Window menus.
Utilities contains firmware password utility..., disk utility..., terminal..., netowkr utility..., and restore system from backup...
When I run disk utility here I see:
     My new 4TB WDC and it's sub-entry - "Untitled 1".
          When I look at Untitied 1 I see /Volumes/Untitled 1 mount point, Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
          4TB, used 1.11GB, 3 folders, 2 files
     SuperDrive (my dvd drive)
     disk2
          This is an apple disk image with a capacity of 1.19GB with a Apple Partition Map scheme
          Under disk2 is "Mac OS X Base System"
               This has a mount point of /, is Max OS Extended, is 1.19GB in size, and has 10,753 folders
               and 35,620 files
     8.03GB SanDisk
          Mac OS X Install ESD - this is obviously my bootable drive for installing Mac OS
I've tried to re-partition the 4TB hard drive but it doesn't seem to remove the disk2 recovery partition. I have only re-partitioned the drive to a Mac OS Extended (Journaled), single partition... Interestingly the 8.03GB SanDisk moved above the line next to the 4TB. The disk2 drive is unchanged.
Perhaps I should reformat to a different method? or change from GUID? Seems like there is a separate "recovery partition" that I'm not able to clear or re-start the installation even though the drive is empty - or so I thought.
Interestingly, when I try to run Terminal... it doesn't respond. I get "-bash-3.2# " as a cursor, but it is unresponsive.
When I try to select - "Restore system from backup" there is no response - it's as if it's completely ignored.
I also just tried holding the "C" key during restart - same thing - it jumps to a window which says it's installing OSX for a few seconds, then the same error I outlined above.

Windows 7 x64 can't read/install any printer drivers from Windows Server 2003 x64 (AMD64 folder and HP Deskjet 855c)

I read the thread Widows 7 printer
HP deskjet 855c driver about possible installation of HP855c drivers onto Windows 7 x64 from "Windows Server 2003 x64" CD but I didn't have enough luck to succeed with doing it on my laptop. That thread appears to be dead now
as it is marked "Answered", so I'm asking for help here. I have Toshiba Satellite P500 with Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (http://i55.tinypic.com/2zgth6v.jpg).
Let me tell you first that I don't have access to Windows Server 2003 x64 or XP Pro 64 CD's. However I did some research online, which eventually forced me to learn about the "file sharing". After extensive search I was able to get the copies
of AMD64 folders from Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard x64 with SP2 and
XP Pro 64. The reason that I went also after XP Pro was because I thought that the extra wording "R2 Standard x64 with SP2" in description of "Windows Server 2003" did not reflect the exact name provided by poster
Alan. I couldn't find just "Windows Server 2003 x64" (does it matter?).
Anyway, I followed first the drill with running "printui /s /t2" and disabling UAC, and then in both cases I was able to locate the
NTPRINT.INF file (http://oi51.tinypic.com/9qwvt2.jpg - this image is from XP Pro AMD64 folder) but each time when I
attempted to install the driver, I got the same message stating:
"The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software drive for your device. If the folder contains the driver, make sure it's designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems." (http://oi53.tinypic.com/27yveiw.jpg)
Why aren't there x64 drivers?
During several installation attempts I had the printer connected to or disconnected from my laptop. It didn't make any difference. I must add that for this purpose I had to use different cable than the original one designated only for the
Parallel port in my old desktop with Windows XP. My new laptop with Windows 7 x64 came only with 3 USB ports (plus 1 HDMI and 1 Serial). Because of that situation I bought in advance a new printer cable called “USB to 36-pin Parallel Port Adapter
Cable” (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003A8I75E). I'm not sure, if it will work until I can install the printer.
Besides, nobody talked about this issue yet. I was also playing with the port choices in "Add printer" step; changing from default LPT1 to USB001 with the same negative results.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I was very hopeful after reading positive "case closed" notes there.
Can anyone help me here, maybe by making the necessary files available for download? I'm willing to pay for such assistance or make a donation, if necessary. Seriously. Judging by the large number of views of the original
thread, one could assume that there is a potential demand for such service. It would be more human to pay few bucks for a few driver files than $900 for the whole Windows Server 2003 x64 CD, no? Can Microsoft accomodate me/us, please? :)

P.S. I was advised to come for help here from

I have my HP 855c/driver working on Win 7 Ultimate x64. I used the 'printui /s' procedure and 4 files described above with some minor changes.
I pulled WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe down from the Microsoft website. Running the file causes the exe to unpack into a temp folder at the root drive. A 'Setup Error' message box is displayed once the file is run. I left this
message box up until I copied ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, and sp2.cab from the temp folder.
I copied driver.cab from a Windows XP Pro disc. I also needed amd64\stdnames.gpd which was already in my Windows 7 c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 folder.
I created a folder with the 5 files (ntprint.inf, ntprint.cat, sp2.cab, driver.cab, and amd64\stdnames.gpd). This is my 'Have Disc' folder.
I followed the 'printui /s' instructions, first changing the permissions mentioned above and then installing the driver. Next I followed the instructions to add a printer from Control Panel 'Devices and Printers' - 'Add Printer', choosing to 'use an existing
driver' when installing the HP 855c.
I used a slightly different ntprint.inf, size 1570418. The readable contents of ntprint.inf is as follows. Notice the line 'CatalogFile=ntprint.cat' is not included. I tried using the 1570468 version of ntprint.inf; when I did I received an incompatibility
message (probably the same one mentioned above).

Can you update Video Drivers from Nvidia?

Hello,
I have an iMac 27-inch, late 2012 model with a built in Nvidia GTX - 660M 512 MB video card. Is it possible to use the Nvidia driver update for this build in card or should I only use Apple's video driver update? I'm sure there have been updates from Nvidia, but I haven't had a Apple update for at lease six months. I'm not having any problems, but like to keep current on drivers.
Thanks,
Dennis

In OS X, Apple provides GPU driver updates with every OS X update, so you don't have to worry about the driver. If you have Windows installed with Boot Camp, then you can install the most recent NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA site > http://www.nvidia.com
Note that GPU drivers don't come as individual drivers, but they come with OS X updates. For example, updates like 10.8.5 or Mavericks may come with updated drivers
