Killer Network drivers Windows 8.1 problem
I upgraded my windows 8 system to 8.1 yesterday, but since then the driver for my Killer Network card, from my Z87-G45 motherboard, been having issues. I downloaded the latest driver, but it gave an error when trying to install. I de-installed my older drive to try a clean install of the driver, thinking that I had my driver cd to go back to the old driver if anything went wrong. The latest driver wasn't compatible with my current operating system, and the older version from the driver cd wouldn't install either. Is a windows 8.1 compatible driver available? I would be able to download it on another device and transfer it via USB. Is downgrading to windows 8 possible without losing all of my files?
I hope to have fixed this problem as soon as possible.
I had the same problem with a clean install of Win 8.1. After trying different newer packages, which were not working, I uninstalled it all and re-installed from the DVD, which has the only working version so far (8.0.2.42 in Windows Device Manager). Also my BIOS update from 1.6 to 1.7 fails (posting another thread).

Re: quick questions on USB 3 and killer network drivers
Hi,
I think I fixed the USB issue. I just removed the old NEC USB 3 driver and use only the Intel uSB 3 driver and it has no problems with my front usb ports now.
I also installed the killer network driver only without suite and it works great.

ITunes 10.1.0.56 update kills network interface - Windows 7
Every time I attempt to install 10.1.0.56, it kills my wired network interface (desktop, so only interface) and hangs mid-installation. There are no errors presented.
To regain network connectivity, I have to perform a System Restore. At this point, iTunes is broken. When I attempt to launch it says that files are missing. If I try to install again, the same thing happens; the network interface dies part way through the installation.
Uninstall/reinstall of iTunes does the same thing. I tried installing an older version 10.0.x, and that was successful but it can't open the iTunes library, stating that it was created in a newer version of iTunes.
I'm jonesing for some podcasts, so any help would be appreciated. Is anyone else seeing this issue?I have resolved this.
For anyone having the issue, here's what appears to be happening based on running iTunes setup with verbose logging turned on and watching the time when the network interface dies.
Issue:
During the installation, iTunes installs some network components related to mobile device support over ethernet(Apple Mobile Device Ethernet Service - netaapl.inf). At the same time, according the logs, the install process removed OEM18.inf. This almost exactly coincided with the time that I saw the network connection die (preceded it by a few seconds).
Basically, iTunes appears to be removing a required network component.
Resolution:
After installing iTunes and the network connection breaking, remove the network device from Device Manager and allow Windows to reinstall it automatically.
The following instructions are for Windows 7, but they are close enough to follow for other versions of Windows.
1. Click the Start button (Jewel in Vista and Win7).
2. Right-click Computer and click Manage in the menu that appears (type your password or click Yes if prompted).
3. On the left side of hte Computer Management window, click Device Manager.
4. Click the arrow (or plus sign) next to Network Adapters to expand that section.
5. Right-click your network adapter and click Uninstall in the menu that appears.
6. Click OK.
7. Reboot.
Windows should automatically detect and reinstall your network device on boot. -

MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem
MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem, need help please!!!
1st instahttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172016.0ll- internet works- but when I tried to do the "test" in the control panel for KillerNetwork, it failed to load, it said that I needed to install flash. I closed out that window that popped up for running the speed test and got a message that says that in order for the killer networking to work correctly I must perform the "speed test". So I went and downloaded the latest version of "flash player". tried the test again and got the same results. How the heck can I do that if it doenst see that I have "flash" installed....Grrrrr btw-Flash has been verified and works on the web page where that "test" resides if I go directly to the site, just not via this dialog box that the control panel uses.
So I deleted the control panel and driver and reloaded them.
Went to do the "speed test" and got a repeat of the above, so I left it alone and tried to play a game...the lag was horrible, the worst I have ever experienced - unplayable, so I guess that message about the speed test is 100% a must!!
I have tried everything I can possible imagine, I even reinstalled windows and all the drivers again....still nothing works with this "speed test dialog box"....What to do??
Thanks in advance-RobThanks I will try that, if not, it seems the adapter may have an issue beause the internet is jacked up on it right now.
On that control panel program, I wonder why they wouldnt just program it to take you to the site via the browser and not try to keep it embedded inside that pop-up window<-------hey!!! that just gave me an idea- I wonder if the problem is that it is a type of "pop-up"!! Dang I will have to wait until tonight to try that - "enable pop-ups" ....never thought to try that since it wasnt inside the Chrome browser window itself...maybe its the fix!! "ummm" maybe!!! naaa it cant be that simple ...can it?? lol
I realy hope it is, well either of these...that lan adapter was the whole reason I went with this MSI board!! -
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING.. does the killer networking work with Windows 8.1?
I was scrolling through the reviews for this board and someone mentioned in the reviews that the killer networking isnt supported with windows 8.1 yet.
Is this still true or are there updated drivers for windows 8.1 now?
Thanks.There is a driver posted on MSI's website for 8.1.

Hello Joebunke,
I borrowed an GE60 2PE too and had a clean-installed Windows 8.1.
Then I installed all Windows 8.1 drivers from MSI website (http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE60-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-driver).
My application page works normally when I opened up and there're already some processes shown in the window.
Did you mean it's all empty?
Did you try selecting "Show All Applications" or "Reset Application Data"? -
I have an Epson printer on a Wifi network. Windows 7 desktop is running the network, and my wife's HP Win 7 laptop prints to it just fine. My MacBook Pro running Yosemite won't detect it, and I do have the latest driver installed. I didn't have a problem when I had a Canon Pixma on the network, but when I replaced it with the Epson nothing seems to work. I go to add a printer to the queue and only the FAX function of the printer shows up - not the WS-4530 print function. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please??? :-)
Hi Kelly,
As someone who has to print from my Mac to a networked printer at home all the time, I can certainly understand how frustrating it must be to have that fail to perform as expected. Let's see if we can get you up and running.
I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
OS X Yosemite: Printing troubleshooting
Start with the section titled Check the network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely,

Windows 7 Network Drivers No Longer Works
Bought a MBP a week ago, just installed Windows 7 on its own partition, installed bootcamp, everything worked fine for the first day. The next day, it did not recognize my network drivers (wireless, ethernet). Control Panel states that they are not installed correctly with an exclamation mark. I've tried installing the drivers from Windows, it 'could no find file'. I've tried reinstalling the drivers using MBP BC CD, after its finished, it reboots, and windows tries to install the remaining drivers. A windows popup keeps stating that 'driver was not installed correctly' and the BC CD does not resolve the issue. I've tried uninstalling the drivers and then manually installing as well as rebooting and allowing windows to reinstall the drivers. Nothing has worked.
So that leaves me with this conclusion, the drivers are now missing from the Windows partition as they can not be found and the drivers on the MBP BC CD will not install successfully for some strange reason. It kind of makes it hard to do anything at this point.
Before this happened, I did encounter a BSOD, but did not give me much information on why (there was a hex error code though). It's a bit frustrating not being able to install the drivers from disk, even manually. Not sure why it won't install successfully, shouldn't be a hardware issue since it works fine on OS X 10.6.
Any thoughts, help or opinions would be much appreciated.Here are things I tried....which I accumulated from multiple forums....and, unfortunately none worked for me, but might work for you:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11518129#11518129
What did work for me: deleting the driver. reinstalling it. rebooting my router about 5-7 times, and they finally connected.
probably just dumb luck. -

Killer's network drivers only [without software suite]
>>Killer_E220x_Wireless-N_INF_Win7_Win8_Win8.1.zip<<
Okay. I see the confusion. He is using the drivers that Svet recommended. Which are slightly newer than your own, but are also without the Killer Network Manager and must be installed manually. (10.0.1.263 for the Wireless and 8.0.2.42 for the e2200)
My issues with the wireless seemed to go away with Svet's drivers - which was essentially a newer download pinned to the forums of what Warner gave to you. He could give Warner's a try but they basically are the same. I assumed my issue didn't go away as I was having another BSOD issue that didn't exactly specify which device was causing the BSOD.
As for my issue - I have uninstalled the Logitech software and haven't had a crash within the past day and a half. I noticed the longer I have the laptop on, the more likely the BSOD. So, I am leaving it on all day playing games off and on.
I did notice that SetPoint does install software that is meant for keyboards. Simply because Logitech has a unified driver suite between their mice and keyboards able to use a single wireless dongle, eliminating the need to use one for each device. This could, in theory, be causing an issue with the MSI SCM. Most people think of the SCM as a control app, but it also installs a service (called Micro Star SCM) which handles event communication between several different driver packages/software. This is why when the SCM is uninstalled, the keyboard light manager fails to start up as well as Hybrid Power and a few other MSI apps. If uninstalling the Logitech software does work, then it could be that the keyboard manager in SetPoint is intercepting events that should be going to the SCM service.
If it crashes again, I will swap out the mouse itself. I'll update my thread on this issue on the next crash or in a few days if I have no further issues. I'm crossing my fingers and thanks for the tips. -
Problems with E531 network drivers in SCCM 2012 R2
We are having some serious issues with SCCM 2012 R2 operating system deployment (Windows 7) and the Thinkpad Edge E531 laptop - network drivers are not being applied during the imaging process. Do SCCM driver packages exist for this laptop?
I downloaded the ethernet drivers manually from here, extracted the files from the executable, imported the drivers into SCCM (it found them), and created a driver package for this model. I also added the drivers to the boot images.
I do not have an issue during the PXE phase, it is only during the Windows phase - and the laptop is unable to join the domain because it does not have network drivers.
In the OSD Task Sequence, I have tried both the auto-apply device drivers rule (default), and creating a special rule for Lenovo E531 with the WMI query: SELECT * FROM Win32_ComputerSystem WHERE Model LIKE "%6885YU%" . The task sequences all work perfectly on virtual machines, so I am fairly certain this is a driver issue. I have tried Windows 7 x86, x64, and Windows 8.1 x64.
Any thoughts are welcome - I am new to this particular school district and have never deployed Lenovo in my previous environments. I am about to select a model for this year's laptop purchases and at this point, I am backing away from Lenovo due to this issue.We do not create SCCM driver packs for the Edge line of products. As an alternative you can use Update Retriever to download hardware drivers for a selected model and then use the Export feature to create a folder containing the source files for the drivers. This can then be used in the Driver Import Wizard which will locate the INF files and only import the files referenced by the INF files.
You mention you are using SCCM 2012 R2. This means you should be using the Windows ADK for 8.1 which also means your boot images should be using Windows PE 5. For your boot images you should be using the Windows 8.1 driver (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/herr01ww.exe)
In your OSD task sequence you need to be deploying Windows 7 drivers (http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/her101ww.exe)
Make sure you keep these separate. Meaning you should have a driver package for the Windows 7 drivers that you reference in an Apply Drivers task and this package should not include the Windows 8.1 drivers. Add just the 8.1 drivers to the boot image. -
15-e020ax specification request (USB + network controller drivers windows 7)
Hi there,
The long and short of this is that I can't get find Win7 USB + internet drivers for my HP Pavilion 15-e020ax notebook, because A: win7 isn't supported and B: there are no specifications provided by the Hp website -
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentSubCategory?tmp_rule=29031&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=u...
Am I in the wrong place? I don't mind going hunting for the appropriate drivers, however the AMD chipset drivers didn't work, and a computer with 1 functioning USB port on it and no net is... well, a doorstop ;-)
If anybody could advise as to where the product specifications are available, and/or where I can find drivers that would enable me to use my usb ports + lan/wifi, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and kind regards,
Dean
PS: A note to the HP staff, I wish to contribute to the body of user feedback, if you're open to it :-)
Although the physical machine is an exceptional little beast ( ^_^ ) the lack of support for Windows 7 on this and the other HP laptop I bought (an awesome 17" e049wm) have left me struggling for several weeks now simply to get them operational. Most of the clients I work with (especially in empoverished regions) have just barely moved from Vista to 7, and I was surprised to buy two ~fresh-off-the-press laptops that couldn't handle Win7 (I refer the forum administrators to http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_os.asp). If the wc3 statistics are correct, Windows 7 use has decreased by 2% since the advent of Win8 in 2012, and is still far and away the most popular operating system in the sample. This is more than 3 times the user base of Windows 8. More than 3 times.
Sweet, /rant :-) I hope you would consider this and forward it to the appropriate section of your otherwise excellent company. Cheers!Hi:
I don't work for HP, but HP only supports a handful of consumer PC's with drivers for windows 7.
They will never release a full range of driver support for all of their consumer products.
I'm sure that is because it costs more to develop and maintain drivers for multiple operating systems, which would drive the costs of the consumer products up.
HP only provides support for multiple operating systems for their business PC's.
HP is aware that the general market is not reacting favorably to W8, and therefore has introduced a small line of new consumer PC's that do come with W7.
If you want to purchase HP PC's with windows 7, here is a link to the models available with that OS.
http://shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/static/page-hp-windows7?jumpid=ps_r329_hhosem&aoid=51410&...
The good news is that you can install W7 on almost every HP consumer PC on the market if you are willing to, and know where to find the appropriate drivers you need.
I googled the model you are working on, and you need to download and install the amd chipset drivers and reboot.
You want the first file listed on the webpage. That will install the smbus and usb 3 controllers.

I don't know what model wireless card that model comes with, but I can post the link to the driver you need if you do the following...
Go to the device manager, find the Other Devices category, and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the network controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).

Wierdest thing happened last night, Killer network just stopped working at all!
Last night i disconnected my Ethernet Cable. Put in a new hdd and plugged Everything back together, started my computer and BAM no internet... Okay i thought it happens once in a while that our fibre get screwed up.
Reseted our fibre swith, connected all other pc, router etc and all of our computer, router and PS3 etc worked like they allways has but not my pc that is directly hardwired to its own from switch.
So i tryed removing the Killer network suit, ran 64 bit KillerCleaner and ran the installer again after the reboot, didnt work! Okay so i did it again but after reboot i justr installed the driver without killer suit. Darn it, didnt work...
Tryed going to cmd ipconfig /release and renew.. Did not work.. Ran out of options. I have worked with computers for for a LONG time and I couldn´t get it to work. I thought to myself, somehow the Killer suit/drivers must have done a hardlock somehow and reinstalled Win 8.1 Pro and just installed the driver without the suit. Now it works again. This must be the first real network card in my history that is so screwed up. Please MSI have a look at this. Dunno if it is a BIOS/Win 8.1/Killer thing or not.. Just wanted to share it it with you guys.
Best Regards ZavQuote from: xmad on 20-February-14, 05:51:50
At work sneaking posts here while I work through the grind... hehe
When you enter BIOS, in the advanced section you will see the NIC. It should list the MAC address there. The only time I have seen this issue with when the bios was flashing in a certain way, but I don't see how if it somehow got corrupted it couldn't do this.
Another possibility is that somehow the board got / is shorted.
Although this most sounds like a software driver issue in windows. Does it make a difference if you enter in safe mode in remove the driver manually then do a registry search and remove all killer components / suite from there.
Then again it could be something really simple, have you tried a different Ethernet cable?
Okay i gotcha hehe
Well i have reinstalled Win 8.1 Pro and the problem Went away so further troubleshooting is not necessary but still a very funny bug...
I built computers for long but sure one could make misstakes but im very accurate when building computers i must say. So shorted, nah i don´t belive it is.
Think it is a bug in the system though, thats why wrote this post so MSI could at least have a look at it..
Thanks again xmad
