Need special drivers for hi-speed USB 2.0?

I would like to upgrade my PowerBook G4 Titanium with hi-speed USB 2.0 capabilities so that I can transfer data quicker to an external hard drive.
It seems that I just need to buy one of those hi-speed USB 2.0 notebook adapter cards. However, I noticed that on the back of the Belkin adapter packaging it said something to the effect of "Hi-speed (480 mb/s) can only be achieved on Mac OS X through the use of third party drivers."
Anyone know if you need some special drivers/software to get the highest speeds out of a USB 2.0 adapter? Are there other factors that might prevent someone who's upgrading a PowerBook G4 from getting the full hi-speed USB 2.0 performance? Thank you in advance for any advice...

Hey Basstone -
I just noticed your post. I had unsubscribed to this thread, so I didn't know you had posted a problem. I am really not sure what is causing your problem. It's a bit perplexing.
I'll just shoot blindly and suggest that maybe the driver that enabled your PCMCIA card to work in 10.3.x was not updated in 10.4.x, or was somehow corrupted when you upgraded. That could explain why the card no longer works. It might also be possible that you have a problem with the PC card slot itself; a hardware problem.
Do you have another PC card that you can use to test the slot? That would rule it out as the source of your troubles.
Also, would it be possible to back up your important data, reformat your hard drive, reinstall 10.3.x, and see if the problem goes away under the old OS? That would also rule out a hardware problem and might prove (somewhat conclusively) that the problem is software-related.
Of course if it is related to Tiger, you'd be out of luck. You'd need to either live without Tiger or without that particular PCMCIA card. I wish I could have been more help on this one.

Need WXP drivers for Satellite A100 (PSAA9)

Hiya,
I've had to re-install Windows XP on my laptop. I don't have the Toshiba drivers CD though.
So I came here to get the drivers but I've no idea which driver goes with which hardware in my Device Manager.
Here's what I need the drivers for under Device Manager...
Ethernet Controller
Mass Storage Controller
Network Controller
PCI Device
PCI Device (again)
SM Bus Controller
Can anyone advise which specific driver I need for each?
Many thanks,
James

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS

Need sound drivers for a Pavillion dv8309us running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-Bit OS. I'm getting "no audio output device is installed" error after trying various different drivers. Sometimes the driver will install and I'll reboot, but to no avail I end up with the same error and a red X over the speaker in the system tray. I've tried Realtek drivers and Conexant drivers from HP. When I run Windows upgrade advisor it recognizes the problem, but Microsoft doesn't offer a compatible driver. At this point I'm very desperate considering everything else works fine and I don't want to go back too XP Media Center. If there is anything you can do to help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I guess this one isn't even 64 bit but it is the one on HP's site:

Hi:
The support site is back up and running.
Below is the link to the W7 x64 graphics driver you need for your model.
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5229456&swItemId=ob_105419_1&swEnvOid=405...
This driver installs the drivers for both the AMD and Intel GPU's.
Never install the standalone Intel HD graphics driver or allow Windows Update to install a newer Intel graphics driver, or the switchable graphics in your notebook will no longer function.

Satellite A135-SP4088: Need XP drivers for power management and Hotkey utility

Hello
I couldn't find drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them for the office and it's almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2, and manage to get almost all of the drivers from other models, but i cannot find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
Toshiba Power Management (the bulb in the task bar, remember?) :D
Hotkey Utility (so I can change Screen brightness, and go to hibernation (Fn+F4)
I have al the rest working, quite nicely but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some even crash the XP and have to go back to a previous restore point.
also, I didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required?, which ones show I look for? since the model doesn't exist in csd.toshiba.com site.
Now, How one of the greatest notebooks manufacturers in the world can build such a nice computer without making drivers for the most widely used operating system?, can anyone explain me this because i sincerely don't understand it.
thanks a lot!.
Indkt.

Hi
The Satellite A135-SP4088 seems to be designed for the US market so you should use the Toshiba US driver page for the driver download!!!!
But why you need the Toshiba power saver for XP? The XP supports an own power options and also the hibernation option. This option must be enabled in the control panel -> power options -> hibernate tab
> didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required
Toshiba page does not provide any special ACPI drivers. The OS uses own Microsoft drivers and the installation of any 3rd applications is not necessary!!!!
regards

Need Working Drivers for Macbook 2,1 running Windows 8 (64-bit) using Boot Camp 5 (Mountain Lion)

So I found my old Macbook 2,1 on Leopard the other day and decided to make it my dedicated Windows computer. I wanted to run Windows 8 on it, so I figured out I needed Boot Camp 5. Then I realized Boot Camp 5 only runs on Mountain Lion, so I went though the process up updating it (had to use MLPostFactor since it's techincally unsupported on my mac.) After getting it updated to Mountain Lion, I went and used Boot Camp 5 to install Windows 8 64-bit. However, when I try to load any Boot Camp Driver Files (I've tried the drivers for BootCamp 3, 4, and 5) it says it is unsupported on my computer model. I suspect this is because of the fact that Windows 8 shouldn't be on my computer. Without these files, I can't right click, among other things, which is pretty important. Can anyone help me get these drivers loaded?

According to the Boot Camp System Requirements located here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

Need BootCamp Drivers for Windows Vista!

Hi Guys, I lost my bootcamp installation disk for the Windows Drivers. I have OSX 10.6.3 and boot camp 3.0.2 on an imac G5 Intel duo. Please help me, I need drivers for Windows Vista . Thanks

Need original drivers for SBLive!

Hi, I need those drivers because I got an old vintage mac and I'd like to use my SBLi've!?mac edition?on it,?but the instalation CD became damaged. The drivers available here are update only so they won't install alone. Could someone help me to find the original ones?Regards,Filipe

A friend of mine in a music store helped me out. I borrowed a CD from him. I think it is strange that they can't put the full drivers on the website along with the updates. They say some people don't like 25+MB downloads, well then they can just use their CD.
It should still be available for those emergencies without having to wait for weeks to get a new one from the other side of the world.
There should be no problem since the drivers already are distributed on the CD. But anyways, problem solved and my sound is alive again :-)

Need WXP drivers for a Portege R500-106

Where can I find XP drivers for a Portege R500-106? Driver download page only has XP WLAN driver and no others.

Hi again
Sorry I thought this new notebook is just Vista preinstalled. Other way I do not understand why you need WXP drivers when you can install recovery image that contains all necessary drivers, tools and utilities. As I can see WXP Pro should be preinstalled on this notebook. Is it not good enough for your work?
By the way: some drivers you can also find on http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_byModel.asp#
Usually if you have European model you should use stuff designed for European models but you can use offered drivers from Canadian download page.

I have i mac system, need all drivers for windows?

I have I Mac system and i installed windows vista ultimate edition, i require all drivers for windows vista

It is installed (I installed Windows....)
Everything you need to know was in Boot Camp Assistant, the drivers are on OS X DVD (while in Windows)
HERE:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp has FAQ How To Manual articles and updates for AFTER yu have Boot Camp 3.0 installed
If you bother to read the instructions first would save you and us a lot of repeating.
You also want Microsoft Security Essentials Vista SP2+ (Windows 7 64-bit would be better and supported) and make sure you have about 15-20GB free space on Windows. All the updates will eat up 10GB of temp space, plus page and other items
