Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

Help! I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance. Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get).
I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD. Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives. I the system came with windows 7 home edition. I need windows xp. So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive. I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D:
I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website). Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver. Then rebooted. No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware. All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load. I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo.
Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers? This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer. I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:. I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software.
I sure would appreciate any assistance :-) Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition. they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

Airport utilities does not recognise windows 7 and will not load, how do I fix this?

Airport utiltiy will not load, it does not recognise windows 7 and I get an effor message telling me that it requires XP or vista etc.
I have deleted and reloaded Airport Utilities, Bonjour and Itunes to no effect. Help!

well...i go only to the site "Test it here: http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml". After this i was able to go to a site with the title "Java Downloads for All Operating Systems" and here you download your JRE for your OS. For XP or Win 7 it was a java 6 update 29-b11. The file to install is named '''jxpiinstall.exe'''. After install an restart you go again to [http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml testvm.xml] and see that the java plugin works fine.... (see the screenshot)...

In Firefox 18.0.1 on Windows XP, pages will not load until I hit reload

In Firefox 18.0.1 on Windows XP, many pages will not load initially. They will sit, blank, with the little spinning circle. If I hit reload, they immediately load. I have verified that all plugins are up to date (AdBlock Plus and Web Of Trust) and that I have the latest version of Java. I also have added Firefox as an exception to Windows Firewall, and verified that no proxies are set.

'''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.

Help with 10.5 please, running windows 7, store will not load

I have searched here and seen others having this issue also but I see no fix that has worked for me.
Installed 10.5 because I am getting an Iphone 4. Itunes opens but the store will not load. Starts to loads and then just sits. I did the command prompt DNS flush fix, shut down and it did not work.
Any suggestions for me? Running Norton for antivirus. I have not seen anybody on here saying that is a problem. We have another computer running windows 7 and Norton and 10.5 is fine on that computer.
Thank you.

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

After I updated Windows my Firefox will not load completley, the page is nothing but boxes.

I updated windows 2 days ago and since then all of the pages I try to go to will not load up properly. Everything on the page is boxed off. I am using Windows Vista and have 4.01 Firefox. I already looked at my add-ons and removed or disabled the things that said they were not compatible.

Did you remove the Firefox program folder before reinstalling Firefox?
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

MBP Retina Windows 7 x64 drivers will not load

I knew nothing about Mac or OSX and got my MBP running in July.
Then later I realised I shoudl take advantage of the Solidworks capacity to run 64bit so I removed partition, got the ISO, made the Flash USB, installed Windows 7 x64 and it is now installed.
But none of the drivers copied in. I used the latest updated Bootcamp 4.0.4 and really the first time I did this everything worked when I installed Win 7 x86 and the pc just started in Windows perfectly all drivers working (except the tap function on trackpad did not work).
I did everything according bootcamp instructions but no luck this time the drivers did not go in (i think)
Now my new windows 7 x64 is exactly as per my installaion disk W7 Sp1.0 x64 all there but absolute disaster the screen is not recognised I cannot even start to get the wireless working so no network no internet no help.
I tried to run the setup.exe from the USB ( where Bootcamp made directorories and copied nicely all the files etc etc) as per the printed copy of the bootcamp installation guide (printed copy on hand) but no success
What now please help?

(bump) I have a similar issue. Win7 installed fine but I have a few hardware drivers which did not load, particarly the wifi driver.
Anyone know how to handle this?
Thanks-

Acrobat 9 Pro for Windows Vista Ultimate will not load/update

Costing me hours of my billable time, ADOBE strikes again. i have uninstalled, updated(9.4.2 - which says Acrobat is not on my computer, though it is), i cannot get Acrobat to work. it gives me the error that i need to open Photoshop because it is part of a suite. photoshop, illustrator all have been opened but A9 will still not load.
any thoughts.

The subscription I bought allows me to go online and use Acrobat XI Pro without having it installed on my machine. It works okay, but I'd rather have the software installed on my desktop.
I guess I didn't read the product information closely enough. I can use the online service no problem with my Vista machine, but I can't download the software onto it so that I can use the program on my desktop.
I did successfully download the software to a Windows 7 notebook on the same network. It downloaded without a hitch and it works fine.
The subscription allows me two downloads - one to a desktop and one to a portable machine. I suppose I'll have to upgrade my desktop to Windows 7 or 8.
Thanks for your help.

I have a mac pro wich will not open windows in boot camp i get to the two options select windows but iyt will not load can you help please

i have a mack pro which will not open in windows from boot camp get to the two options and select windows drive but it will not open can you help Please

Hi there, Well, i thing i might have had the same problem (if you dont mean the selecting part, then try keyboad with usb and without if u dont have a macbook pro or so), i did the same and after selecting windows it said "No bootable disk" or " no boot disk" or something like that and the installer wont start when i was trying to install via CD/DVD.
The sulution is to use 2 usb-drives, one for the support drivers from apple and one for the windows it self after burning the CD/DVD to the usb on a PC using the windows own tools and creating a ISO file.
(there might be problems whit CD/DVD install sometimes)
The ISO file on a own USB is the most importat thing!! (and even apple and windows didnt know that but me and a technikal support guy from the store i bought it managed to fix it after like 4 days )
Hope it work now mate!

My Windows XP disc will not load in bootcamp (although it works in virtual box). Any ideas?

Windows XP was not booting up at all so I removed the partition and attempted to reinstall it. However it will not even load. The software on the mac partition is all up to date and I have run verify disk, repair disk permissions etc. What options do I have?

What model and year is your computer? Newer computers do not support XP or Vista.

G500s drivers will not load

My lenovo g500s touch refuses to udate drivers from Lenovo driver update. It says i do not meet min system requirements.The hard drive is a fresh reformat with all Microsoft updates complete. I am using a second monitor to try to get it repaired. I had a problem with the touch pad and clickers but found the answer on here. Ran the test from your site and one issue will not download also. I know for certin the display is fine. Thank you for your help

hi mike6683,
May I know the OS that you've installed on the G500s and the list of drivers that you're getting the "your system does not meet the minimum requirements" error?
In addition, if you have an Intel+Nvidia graphics then this uses Optimus Technology to switch between the Intel GPU (for power saving) and Nvida GPU (for maximum performance). To make this work, you will need to install the Intel driver first followed by the Nvidia driver.
Let me know how it goes.

Windows 7 drivers will not install for Printsmart B209a

Ok, I have tried to solve this for the better part of 2 days on my own.. I have tried every solution I can find by google and forums..
In the device manger it show that my printer drivers are not installed, when i try to install them Windows tells me the drives are not digtally signed and I and not it's not sure they are committable with my printer.. When I tell it to go ahead and intestinal them it tries then tells me it can not due to one of the above..
I have uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them so many times I have lost count.. I have used a uninstaller to make sure I got every little piece of the driver I can find..
Now when I try to install them, it hangs at about 89% and tells me it is waiting for a SPL response from the printer.. and that never happens.
So can someone please help me with these two problems..
Thanks in advance for your knowledge, time and effort..

Make sure that you run the correct OS bit version download for your computer. Do you have 64 bit or 32 bit win 7? did you install software by cd or online?
if it hangs at 89% , that means your firewall is limiting the installation.
what is the brand of your anti-virus software?

Windows 7 32bit - will not load on warm boot.

I have the same problem on two PCs. They are both HP Workstations xw4600. I have the latest BIOS (786F3 1.22 A) and have tried with the older BIOS as well before upgrading. They will not start Windows 7 with a warm boot (restart). They just repeatedly restart over and over again. I have to turn off the computer and cold start in order to log into Windows, which after doing so Windows works just fine.
UPDATE:
I solved this issue by fixing the startup with the Windows 7 disk (took a couple of tries)) now it works normally.

Dozens of drivers will not load on brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC. Win 7 Ultimate N

I recenty paid for a brand new HP ENVY 14t-1000 CTO Notebook PC.It had entirely too much bloatware and I have doe fresh install's hundreds of times. The installs went fine but only 4 drivers from the driver page for this product on Win 7 will install. I am without the Wifi, Ethernet, Sound, Display, Smart Card Reader, and about 10 more that I am not sure what they are. I googled the PCI ID's of some and found what should be the driver as in the Wifi is the Broadcom driver from the support page for this product but after the install nothing happens. Then you get the pop up that says there was the program may not have installed correctly. If I point the device directly at the directory for any of these it says driver not found. I have never had such a time installing drivers for a supported OS. It came with Win 7 on it. I am just trying to perform a clean install. I will gladly provide the device ID's for anyone at HP that can give me a driver that will work. The ones on the appropriate page do not. I know I am missing the IDT sound driver, The realtek ethernet driver, I believe the ATI HD Video driver, and the Broadcom Wireless driver for starters but once again all version new and legacy on the drivers page DO NOT install. Help. I am this close to calling HP and returning this thing. I only received it today and would have no qualms about sending it back.

Hi: This is a peer to peer forum. No one on this forum is authorized to respond on behalf of HP to any posts made here. I looked at the support and driver page for the 14t-1000, and that model is 5 years old according to the release dates of drivers listed there. Ar you sure that is the model number? Can you please post the product number for the PC? The product number can be found on the same sticker as the serial number. You can also post the top line of each hardware ID's for each device needing drivers. I'll see what I can find. The driver directly from Realtek should install the card reader (PCI Device). You want the first driver on the list. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

Windows Forms Designer will not load because the referenced component '***' cannot be found

Using
VS2013 with Windows 7 to implement VS2010 developed project, "Downloading stock prices in F#" results in the error: "The referenced component
'Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.Vs' could not be found." After Downloading and installing PowerPacks V3.0, the error persists.
The line of code is: "Me.DataRepeater1
= New Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.DataRepeater"
and the error on this line states Type "...PowerPacks.DataRepeater is not defined".
Question: How can this error be corrected?
Update: Problem solved??
I believe I found the solution to my problem stated above.
I went into the properties for the 2010 application and updated the Visual Studio version number to version 12 for the path to the referenced Power Pack components.
The software apparently found the references as I no longer get errors for these references.
However, now I am having separate but similar problems with the FSharp.PowerPack reference(s).
I receive the error: "Could not locate the assembly 'FSharp.PowerPack, Version =1.9.9.9, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=a19089b1c74d0809'". My investigations indicate that the latest FSharp.PowerPack version is 2.0.0.0.
One suggestion is to go into the registry and change the "version 2.0.0.0" to "version 1.9.9.9".
My remaining question: Is changing the registry version number the best way to address this problem? As a novice, it makes me nervous to mess with the registry so I would prefer another approach.

Hello,
Since this issue is mainly related to FSharp.PowerPack which is a F# tool, and the following fourm is to discuss and ask questions about the F# programming language, IDE, libraries, samples, and tools.
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=fsharpgeneral
I would help you move this issue to that forum to get help.
