Lenovo Laptops Won't Install any Drivers

I have primarily Lenovo T and X series laptops at my work. I'm trying to setup SCCM 2012 to be able to image directly from a Windows 7 source folder (just took an ISO from MSDN and extracted the contents to a folder, pointed SCCM to it). I am hoping not
to use a Sys-prepped, etc, WIM file of a fully built machine (I was able to get this no-wim setup running on a test network at home). If I tell the task sequence not to stop on errors during the driver install step, the machines will install Windows
and otherwise complete the sequence, but have basically no drivers. I've also tried to tell the sequence to install only ethernet drivers, and those won't install. The Apply Drivers step is normally told to pick the best matched drivers, and choose from any
category. I need some help! I have attached the smsts.log file from the \smstslog\ folder on the X drive that is created. Any help is VERY much appreciated!
Two logs attached. One is the smsts.log from the smstslog folder on the x drive the other is from the c:_smstasksequence\logs folder

Windows won't install any drivers using BootCamp

I'm new to using a Mac (I bought an aluminum 2.0GHz MacBook last month). I need to run Windows on it, and tested in using BootCamp, but I cannot get the Windows XP drivers to work at all. No drivers have been installed for networking, chipset, sound, video, etc.) The device manager shows almost no drivers installed. It is Windows XP SP3 as well. I have also tested this on two other Macs, with the same results. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any replies received.

If you have Auto-run enabled (not always a good idea though) it will still open to
/BootCamp folder with Apple Setup.exe to install the drivers and services to add compatibility.
I think Windows Update, esp. now with v. 7 RC1, it finds even 3rd party drivers for me and less trouble, something OS X doesn't provide.
But the step for inserting your DVD.... that is in the Boot Camp Guide and pdf.

Windows 7 won't install any Audigy 2 ZS drivers

I did a clean install of Windows 7 and noticed right away, that the drivers for my Audigy 2 ZS didn't get installed. Here is the error I was given via device manager / properties for card:
The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)
This operation requires an interacti've window station.
Drivers I've tried:
From Windows Update, dated October 4, 2008<
Creative's website, Driver version?2.8.00, dated July 3 2009
Creative's website, Beta driver version 2.8.00, dated Oct 2009
Creative's website, Vista driver 2.2.0002, dated March 6, 2007
danielk's audigy support pack 3.5
When I tried the Creative executables and danielk's support pack, I do not get any errors during any parts of the install(s).
Windows Updates says the install failed with unknown reason. When I attempt to "update driver" through device manager, it says it finds the driver but it gives me the same error as mentioned?above: This operation requires an interactive window station.
What else can I try? I've also done an "upgrade" install of Windows 7 on top of the clean install (out of desperation). At this point, I feel like reloading my XP imaged install,?so I can have working audio again.
So, please, if there is something I can try, then please help. Is there a way to do a "logged" install and send it to someone at Creative?
Thanks for your time

So, just to update everyone on my situation. I think my issue was caused by the migration tool, Windows Easy Transfer.
I formatted the partition the partition that Windows 7 was installed on, and did a fresh reinstall. Upon first boot of the new reinstall, the audio drivers were still not installed. I then immediately tried to "update drivers" via device manager and Windows installed the latest beta drivers from October , 2009 with no errors.
Is there any reason why the install won't install the drivers on its own? Did it not ship with Audigy 2 ZS drivers?

24" iMac won't install any 'large' Apple software updates from the internet

I am having a serious issue with my iMac and neither the people on the phone at Apple Care or the 'Geniuses' at the Genius Bar have been able to assist. So, maybe someone here can:
First - here is the background information about what happened and what I've done:
A few weeks ago when the new iTunes 10 came out I went to upgrade. The upgrade failed it said. So, I thought perhaps Apple was having issues with the new software or something. So, I thought - Ok, I'll give it a day or two.
I come back and try again from Apple.com - no luck. Hmmmm - well, I just happened to see my 'software update' icon pop up and there was iTunes. I thought "Great! Now I'm sure it'll install!" No luck.
So, I think - well, perhaps I've done something to corrupt my profile. So, I create a new profile and try again. No dice.
So now I'm really confused and figure - ok, let me try a partition and I'll try again. Still nothing.
Finally I figure - ok, something is wrong here. So, since nothing is working I backup my music and important files and wipe out the hard drive and start over. No luck. And, in fact - since I had gone back to 10.5.4 or whatever - software updates needed to install to get me back to 10.5.5. Those wouldn't install through software updates OR when downloaded from Apple.com - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue.
I decided to engage "Apple Care" and they call me at the time I specified and we begin to do some tests on the hardware and everything came back ok. We tried from Apple.com and software updates again - still won't install the software. Keeps coming back with "Software installation failed" something about the package installer was corrupted during downloading.
The guy at Apple care thinks perhaps its my network corrupting something. This begins to make a little sense and I think, maybe he's right. My wireless router isn't that great so, maybe I'll just go replace it. However, while I'm checking out I begin to think that maybe its NOT my wireless router - because I do have 2 other computers in my house who haven't had issues downloading anything. So, this is unlikely. But, I didn't like the wireless router anyway - so I went ahead with the purchase.
I get it home - set it up and try again. STILL not working. So, I make an Appointment at the "Genius Bar". I take it in - show them the screen shots of the errors and we get started. They try to do the install of either iTunes or the combo update on THEIR network - still won't work. The genius thinks I have a bad HD and takes the computer for 2 days to look at it.
I finally get to go pick it up - excited that I'll have my iMac (which I use for work) back and functioning again. I go pick it up and they decided that it wasn't my hard drive - but likely my RAM. They couldn't prove it was the RAM but figured since I bought the RAM after I bought the iMac that this must be the issue (even though it was up to exact Apple standards and was from Crucial). So, I think - well, while I have a blank slate I'll go ahead and install Snow Leopard. So, I pick up Snow Leopard and get new RAM too and go home to install.
I get the computer home, put the new RAM in, install snow leopard and get ready to work! After snow leopard install is done - it has some new updates it needs to install. And the update FAILS to install again. Oh, and they never replaced the HD.
So, I call Apple Care again - they have no clue. They suggest making an Apple Genius Bar appointment. So, I take it in again. They run diagnostics on it from their 'Triage' external hard drive and everything checks out. He says its probably the hard drive (same conclusion they came to the first time) and said that they would replace it.
I get the computer back - take it home. Everything is up to date. All the software updates were back in place including iTunes 10. However, I still want to test and see if I can download iTunes and/or do updates. So, I uninstall iTunes and download it again. Same problem. STILL won't install any large software downloads. But, again - Smaller downloads like, flash, java, firefox, etc - all download and install without issue. Just no core Apple updates or things like iTunes will download and install on my iMac.
I then took it to a friends house - set it up on his network - same issue.
So to sum up:
I have re-imaged the hard drive several times
I have replaced the ram
I have replaced my networking hardware (even though other machines on the network have no issues)
I have taken it in twice to the Genius Bar and they still haven't fixed it
The Problem followed the machine and exhibited the same issues in store as it did in my home (so we know the problems stays with the machine)
I have tried it on yet a 3rd network and the issue still exists
The people at the Genius Bar told me that If I still have issues then its with my network - even though its been proven it wasn't.
Its only larger downloads like Combo Updates and iTunes that won't install.
Any ideas? Sorry for the long post but its been quite an ordeal.

Yes, I have tried the updates directly from the Apple website and a different issue occurs. When I do that I get various different errors - the most common saying 'Codec overrun'. This has happened both before and after complete software OS reinstalls (Completely wiping the HD clean).
I did a video of my issue on my iPhone. I had to cut it and compress it to get it off my phone without syncing (because I can't sync it since I can't get iTunes installed now). So, its about a minute long if anyone wants to see it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8leWwEoIeXI
And yes, we tried to repair permissions a couple times but didn't seem to have any effect on whether it would install these updates. Again, it's NOT all software downloads/installs. It seems to be limited to LARGER pieces of software. Example: Firefox, Flash, Java and Silverlight have all downloaded and installed without error on my iMac. Apple combo updates and iTunes won't install at all.

AIR seems to install but won't install any AIR apps

I installed AIR on Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise Edition, and it seems to install OK (no error messages). But when I go to install an AIR app (Yammer desktop in this case) it will not install the app and I never see the installer come up. This is a new computer that never had AIR on it. First I went ot the Yammer site to load the app there, as I did on my XP computer. The install started, but hung up. I was at work, so I let it sit for a few hours, but it was still hung. I then rebooted and tried to install using the offline installer. It seemed to install, but won't install any AIR apps. I have uninstalled/reinstalled AIR and Yammer but no change. I also tried uninistalling using the MS FixIt utility, but no difference. AIR seems installed but if I go to the Yammer web site, it tries to install AIR again. Log below.

Hi Tom,
Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with me so I can take a look at what is happening with your system? If so, please contact me at [email protected] If you want to try something immediately, I'd recommend creating a new, temporary, user account and seeing if you can install Yammer there. If so, log back into your normal account and try launching the installed Yammer app.
Thanks,
Chris

Qosmio F10-136 - Unable to install any drivers

I have a Qosmio F10-136.
I have recently formatted the hard drive. Since I had lost the recovery disc, I had to use another copy of Windows. I downloaded the drivers available online from the Toshiba website but I have been unable to install any drivers except the wireless LAN. Most driver setups refuse to run at all, some seem to install the files, but the driver is not detected.
Please advise.

> 1. Sound device not working still - When I install the audio effect driver (i.e. toshiba virtual sound), there does not seem to be any effect even though it is installed. Then, when I install the SoundMax Audio System, it gives me an that the driver does not exist.
What do you mean exactly by does not seem to be any effect. Can you hear the sound coming from the speakers? Are there any yellow exclamation marks related to the sound card? If not then the sound card driver has been installed properly and the sound should work!
> 2. I cannot figure how to install the LAN driver.
Where is the problem? Download the LAN driver, unzip the package, access the device manager, choose the unknown device (LAN card), point to the driver files downloaded from the Toshiba driver page and finish the installation.
The LAN card should be recognized properly.
> 3. Same with the TV tuner drivers; there is not setup file.
As mentioned above; you can install the drivers in device manager. Choose TV tuner in device manager (possibly marked as unknown device too.) point to the TV tuner driver files and finish the installation.
> 4. During the windows setup, I had created 3 drives, but I cannot access the drives D & E. When I try to access them, windows asks me to format them, but it gives me an error when I try to do so. Also, the hard drive is not shown in the disk management (not even C drive), so I cannot do anything. Although, the hard drive is shown in the device manager.
If other partitions have been created on the HDD then this should be visible in disk management. I dont believe that you cannot see even the C partition. In my opinion you didnt check this correctly.
Access the disk management (MY Computer, right click, manage). Choose Disk Management. There you should see the HDD and CD/DVD drive.
If the partitions have been created but not formatted then you would see just a free space.
Click right on this space and you could either format this or could delete the partition.
PS: I recommend using a 3rd party tool like Partitions Magic in order to create the partitions on the HDD (Win XP)!!!

Laptop won't recognize any ipods

OK, so I have an ipod video, a click-wheel ipod and a new shuffle, and my gateway laptop won't recognize any of them. It recognized them all until earlier this week, and the USB ports still work with my flash drive and mouse. I plugged the ipods into another computer using the same chord and they work fine. I got the ipod video replaced at an apple store, and still nothing. I plug the ipod (any of them) in and in the device manager it shows up as an unknown device. I tried reinstalling the driver, but I get nothing. I've restarted the computer of course, and have restarted the ipods (except the shuffle). I've gone through the troubleshooting on the apple support page, and am at my wits end. any suggestions?

I went through the troubleshooting page and went BACK to a genius bar and got the ipod video replaced again (they said it had a bad hard drive). I still have the same problem though. I think my computer's hard drive is going bad, but I'm not sure. The ipod is reading, but I can't copy any music over to it now ("the disc can't be copied to or read from"). Also, when I connect it to my older PC, I fill it up with music, disconnect the iPod and see that it's blank! I look in the "about" section of the ipod's settings and it shows that memory is being taken by music, and when I plug it into iTunes it shows the music being there.

Hi,
Nearly all hardware vendors won't release drivers for Windows 10 until Windows 10 is officially released (not preview). Windows 10 should install drivers for your machine after few updates. Windows 10 can find all drivers (except one: finger print) for my 5 years old machine. It should be able to find drivers for newer machines).

Laptop won't install drive for photosmart d110! Tried several attempts. Trying to use wireless print

I'm using Windows vista, 64-bit operating system and a hp photosmart d110 all-in-one printer. I have automatic updates installed and recently installed AVG PC Tuneup. I have attempted several uninstall/installs of the printer. I can get the printer software to download from hp website, but my laptop won't recognize it. I've been using this printer with the same Toshiba Satellite A505 laptop for the past year and have had no problems until now. I've also uninstalled the AVG Tuneup, as I thought it may have disrupted something, but still no changes. I keep getting the troubleshoot triangle on my computer image under the device/printer page. When I troubleshoot it says device needs driver installed. I click apply fix, but it is always unsuccessful. I can't completely uninstall the original hp software uploaded last February. Not sure why, but I've tried all morning.
Thanks for your time and I appreciate any help regarding this matter!

No, this was not helpful at all.
I found the solution myself. I kept working on it, as my inital feeling was that HP wasn't going to be very helpful. I'm appreciative of your response, but it may be helpful to correspond back with more than a one question sentence. When presenting our problem, we are to give very descriptive details. As neither one of us, has all day to sit around and wait for emails, it would be helpful to suggest a few things that may be wrong. Thus, the process of elimination could actively be started. Thanks for your time anyway.

N8 won't install any apps?

Hi!
Recently I bought a used N8 which has been working as expected until I noticed that it wouldn't install a single app. When I got the phone the previous user had reset the phone to factory settings and in general tried to turn it back to it's original condition. At first all apps installed without problems. The only app I experienced problems with was Nokia Store, which always got stuck on the loading screen and never opened. Now my N8 hasn't been able to install any apps what so ever, especially no .sis or .sisx files. The installation of .sis or .sisx files results in a error message Unable to install (or something similar in english). The newest software of Symbian Anna is installed on the phone. The only app I've been able to install is one with a .wgz ending.
I've tried to reset the phone to factory settings again, reset the device with *#7370# code and held the power button for 8 seconds, and my problem persists. The only possible solution which I'm considering is the "three finger reset", could that solve my problem or is there some other way?

The three fingered reset will only make things worse so it's best to avoid. Have you tried re-installing the Firmware via Nokia suite? If that doesn't help you could try re-installing the QT enviroment. Download the QT files from the following link.

You need to install all three files to your C: drive in the following order.

Reinstalling Vista, Cannot Install Any Drivers

I've had this computer for a couple of months at work, where 4-5 people can use/mess around with the computer. Long story short, we got a virus and I intended to reformat the computer with my recovery DVD. I noticed the two partitions, and formated them into one (reading through here, bad idea) but whatever, Windows installed just fine. I downloaded all the drivers from Lenovo in advance but I cannot install a single one of them. Apparently my computer is not strong enough to install my (intel) video card and I have no network card.
So, what gives?

welcome to lenovo user forums
could you share your model number of your system/also check out if you have downloaded drivers for the exact version
of windows

W2K8 Server Shared Printers won't install if drivers not in Win7 C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository?

We have Windows 7 64 bit computers in two domains that just recently will not install printers (Windows 2008 R2 print servers) if the driver folder for the printer does not already exist in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. This
is under a domain administrator account logged onto the workstation.
If the driver folder exists then it will install but if the printer is brand new and doesn't use an existing driver or uses a new driver, the folder will not be populated in the FileRepository. For example if you rename the Lexmark Universal Printer Driver
folder lmud0c40.inf_amd64..... to another name and delete try to reinstall the same printer you had working 5 minutes earlier, it will not install. The C:\Windows\System32\Spool\Drivers\x64\3 folder STILL contains all the drivers for the printer
but for some reason it won't
The error is: Connect to Printer: Windows cannot connect to printer: Operation Failed with Error 0x00000057
All the "googled" solutions say to add the folder to the FileRepository manually but that is unrealistic with 19,000+ computers.
This exists across multiple domains, with multiple printer types and is not related to Group Policy as the issue still exists in a computer no policies applied except that had point and print=disabled. It also doesn't appear to be permissions based
as I granted the user "full control" of the FileDepository folder and it didn't make a difference.
They are signed drivers. The Print$ is shared on the server.
The odd thing is that in another domain we have, it works just fine even with regular user accounts (with point and print disabled). The server serves up the printer driver to the spool folder and it is copied to the FileRepository
lforbes

I was suggesting pkgmngr just to confirm on one machine that it could stage the package.
The package drivers are copied to the client from the PCC share on the print server
\\Server\print$\x64\pcc
The cab file is copied to client , extracted , then staged to the filerepository. At this point the spooler will install the print driver from the package and copy the file to the \system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 directory and loaded into the spooler
process from there.
For drivers that are not package aware, there is not a digital signature copied with the file set.
Package aware print drivers contain this data in the printer inf file
[PrinterPackageInstallation.amd64]
PackageAware=TRUE
The spooler does some secure validation using the asyncRPC protocols with package aware drivers and I've hit odd issues when stale machine accounts exist cross domain. I know you are not hitting this exact issue but verifing someone did not disable
the protocol in some domain policy (through reg entry) was the request.
Regarding the Point and Printer Restrictions policy. Disabling (or configuring) the policy disables the Restrictions around point and print. There is also server information that can be included in the policy. There are also another
policies to verify
Computer\Admin Templates\Printers\Only use Package Point and print
Computer\Admin Templates\Printers\Package Point and Print - approved servers
With Windows8 and Server 2012, the Version 4 drivers are loaded directly from the driverstore. Version 3 drivers still use the same path.
Hope that's not too much info.
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Thanks for the info:
So an update on this on the "fix" which really isn't a fix at all.
If you take Admin ownership of the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore folder, set Admins=Full Control and delete the 4 added .dat files in there and then restart the print spooler service, you can add printers as an administrator.
Basically this defeats the entire purpose of adding printers to the FileRepository under the SYSTEM account.
It is at this point that it fails "The cab file is copied to client , extracted , then staged to the filerepository."
The drivers are digitally signed, in fact they are the "default" windows drivers from the default store.
I verified the driver cab files are in the
\\printserver\print$\x64\PCC folder
I did a test and this "fixed" it although it is not something we can implement.
If gave Administrators ownership of the C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore folder, set Admins=Full Control and deleted the 4 or 5 added .dat files in there I renamed the existing FileDespository to "old" and created a new one and then restarted
the print spooler service.
The printer had never been added before so it didn't exist in the registry.
On the restart of the spool service the folder a folder was created in the File Repository called
ntprint.inf_amd64_neutral_4616c3de1949be6d
Then on the install of the driver, by an administrator account, two more were created downloaded from the \\printserver\print$\x64\PCC
prnms001.inf_amd64_neutral_9fe8503f82cd60fa
prhp002.inf_amd64_neutral_04d05d1f6a90ea24 (printer driver)
So basically whatever gives SYSTEM access to "add" drivers to the DriverStore seems to be broken. It works OK if the Administrators have full control of all the files but not if it is running under SYSTEM.
I tried to disable the AsyncRPC protocol and then undid the disable. It didn't make a difference.
I have found hotfixes for Windows 7 Printer issues and have applied them all and the rollup and they didn't make a difference.

Help! G770 Lenovo laptop won't turn on.

Last night I closed my laptop without turning it off. I do this often and it's been a year now and it works fine until this morning. I opened it and with the battery in I turned it on. The power button didn't turn on, the laptop wouldn't start. I tried removing battery and keeping in the ac plug. Didn't work. I tried putting in the battery and plugging it with the ac plug and it still doesn't work. I notice that when the battery is in, and the ac plug is attached, it shows that the laptop is charging. Removing the battery while the plug is in makes the charging light disappear. So I kept the battery in and the wire as well, and after 15 minutes it started after I pressed the button. Tonight it did the same thing and wouldn't start again. I looked online with m phone and found this site. Someone suggested holding it down for 10 seconds 5 times and plug the ac plug in and it should work, but it did. Any suggestions or solutions. It's finals week, and my exam is tomorrow. Any help before that would be great. Thanks!

hi Jmv,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
If you're not hearing any beeping noise comming out from the computer, you could try to:
1. Re-seat the RAM (you can find more info on page 44 on the Hardware Maintenance manual here). If you have 2 RAM modules, you will need to remove one & leave one RAM module in and try turning the computer ON (you're trying to test if one of the RAM chips are defective). Note: You will need to take out the battery and HDD first before you can access the RAM slot.
Caution:
Please be very careful in disassembling your computer as the internal parts are fragile.
If re-seating the RAM module(s) doesn't work, you may need to contact Lenovo Technical Support for service. Lenovo Support Phone List here.
Hope this helps.
