Spray,
Just by the very nature of a CD, it makes it useless.
The Hardware Manufacturer gets the Drivers from the Chipset Manufacturer and then edits them to add their logo etc. Then they put the Drivers on a CD. Then they package it with the hardware. Then it is sent to a distributer where they warehouse it until it is sent to a reseller. Then finally the reseller has it in the shelf until you come in and buy it.
Those Drivers are anywhere from 6 month to 1 year or more old.
As I look at it, even the software on the Manufacturer's website is out of date.
If you want Drivers, you go right to the Chipset Manufacturer.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. Just remember, just because a piece of Hardware or Software is new to you, it does not mean it is New! It could have been on the shelf for years.

Mediatex 802.11 wifi adapter update obstructed, so default wifi driver gone

I am using internet through wifi.
While i am updating wifi driver somehow wifi got disconnected. so updation stopped.
After i restarted i am unable to see wifi connections. I think initial wifi driver gone.
Again i connect through LAN and try to update. It is not updating.
plz help me. It is structed here.

Hello @Shyamiiit,
Welcome and thank you for posting on the HP Support Forums.
Lets see if we can get your missing Wifi back and running fine.
First and foremost don't panic we can do a simple operation called " System Restore"
This is a tool built into the Windows operating system. It allows you to return you system to an earlier date and time, much like a computer time machine.
Unfortunately I do not have any information about your system. So I am going to provide you with a few links so that you can do this process. If for what ever reason this does not solve the problem there are a couple of steps we can try. None the less if you can please post your full model and product number. This link will help you find that information.
How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
Now for the system restore links.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows Vista)
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7)
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
So all we need to do is run the system restore and pick a day that things where still running normally.
The notebook will do a few things look like it has shut down and then bring itself back do not panic and it may take some time depending on how far and how much info needs to be restored.
Please let me know how this goes. Post back and if things work out great please click on the solution so that others may find a resolution to their issue.
Again thank you for using the HP Support Forums and looking forward to hearing from you.
Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!
Also be sure to mark my post as “Accept as Solution" if you feel my post solved your issue, it will help others who face the same challenge find the same solution.

Kernel forcedeth and intel audio or nforce driver modules?

I recently discovered Nvidia makes nforce driver modules thanks to the recent packages listed on the Arch website. I have long since been using the Vanilla kernel drivers built in (which are reversed engineered or similar chipsets) without any problems.
My question is, are there any reasons I should switch over to Nvidia modules other than the fact that they are native to the manufactuer (performance, stability gains etc.)? I've noticed some posts have touched on this issue but they don't explain anything other than what looks like users preference.
Thanks for any info,

Before the forcedeth module was available, I would always go here for help:
http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=29
One version, some people were having problems with the forcedeth module, but that was long ago. I also remember some bandwith tests, but I have not been to the site in ages.
I quickly looked around and it appears nvidia is contributiong to the forcedeth module anyway. I don't know about the sound.

PC wont boot after installing nforce driver on MSI K8N Neo Platinum

After installing the nforce driver my system won't boot again. If i use safe mode it stops at the file mup.sys . Does anybody know anything about this?

Can you provide a signature with all of your hardware information like my signature (see below). Include drives and locations. Better chance you'll get help that way

Iphoto library stored on external hard drive GONE

My iphoto library has been stored on an external hard drive for a couple of years now, has always worked perfectly until today...I noticed that my desktop photo was gone, so I opened iphoto, and it says that the library cannot be found...at which point I noticed the hard drive is no longer showing up on the desktop of my imac. Also tried connecting it to our macair...also doesn't show up and asks if I want to initialize it...HELP!! I need my pics!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sounds like a hard drive problem rather than an iPhoto one. If the drive won't mount so the library is available iPhoto won't work. So I'd run Disk Utility and see if it can see the drive. If it can then run DU and try to repair the disk. Otherwise you'll have to take the drive in to a service provider to see if they can mount the drive and save the files.

External hard drive gone!!

Don't know if it's the right forum to post, but anyway:
I pluged in my external harddrive (Western Digital 2TB),but suddenly i could read the files, but i couldn't open them! So I tried to remove the disk usig disk utilities but it couldn't. And after a few tries i turned of my computer and removed it. I started it up again and pluged in the disk and got the error-mesage "The computer couldn't read the disk". I looked in disk utilities and didn't see the partion. Everything was gone!! 500 gb of more or less important stuff!! The most important things I have an copy of on my internal disk, but i need the partion back!!! It was fine yesterday... Please help me!!!

If it's port powered use a powered USB hub
Try it on another computer, if it's a NTFS drive, update your software to read/write that format
Other than that, if the drive is not being seen, not much we can do, it or it's cable, or is likely dead.

DVD Drive gone after itunes update

I can no longer access my DVD drive. Windows Vista Home Premium. Sony DVD drive. iTunes 7.5 . If I uninstall iTunes my system can recognize my DVD drive, but when I install iTunes my dvd drive is gone from the system, can't be recognized by itunes or windows. I've tried previous version so iTunes 7 but none seem to work. Any advice?

Thanks. I followed the instructions and removed both UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry entries, rebooted and my DVD drive could then be recognized by Vista. But..... when I started iTunes I received the error:
"The registry settings used by the iTunes drivers for importing and burnging CDs and DVDs are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please reinstall iTunes."
So... since I was on a previous version I installed the latest, 7.5... and iTunes could then see the DVD drive, but when I rebooted, Vista could no longer see the DVD drive. iTunes re-installed the registry entry : UpperFilters, REGMULTISZ, GEARAspiWDM (does not put in the LowerFilters) so as it stands now, I have a registry file on my desktop that I have to run, to put back the GEARAspiWDM entry whenever I want to use iTunes, then remove it and reboot to use it in Vista - does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it without a workaround? Thanks.

Main internal drive gone: won't mount

Hello, everybody:
My primary internal drive has…gone away. This morning, after the screen had slept (the computer is set never to sleep) the machine wouldn't respond--obviously frozen. No key sequences would jar it loose, so I shut it down with the power switch on the cpu. On reboot, it booted from the second, or original, drive, which I had abandoned a few years ago after it had begun to fail, but which I had left in its bay when I installed the replacement (which is now my primary). Now, that failing one is the only internal drive it sees. I then booted from an external firewire drive--my backup--but even now, while running from that drive, neither disk utility nor the "diskutil list" command line shows any trace of my primary internal drive. It doesn't even show up when I run System Profiler from the "About this Mac" Apple-menu item. Before I remove and reconnect the vanished drive in a hopeful attempt to correct what might be merely a loose connection, can anyone steer me toward a probable cause of this problem?
My best to you,
James.

Well, I disconnected and reconnected the drive, and still zero. Nothing seems to see it. I'm downloading DataRescue II right now, but tonight I think I'll be shopping for drives. This is the second Maxtor drive that's gone south in less than four years, and this one lasted for only two years and change. You have a favorite drive or brand that you've found fast and reliable?

Project wont open, External drive gone

A series of terrible problems:
I have been working on an imovie project that froze this evening. I force quite, and when I reopened iMovie, my project didnt show up. I saw it on the external drive it was on, but it wouldnt open no matter what I did. I copied it to the main drive, burned it onto a disc, but it wouldnt open. For some reason I thought mayb the external drive was corrupted so I ran DISKWARRIOR. It found several errors and I rebuilt the directory. But now, for some reason, after Diskwarrior is done, the drive is now called "untitled" and has only a folder called "rescued items". All my folders are gone. What is going ON!

I figured out the problem. As you assume, Tom, the "Other" folder causes no problem. Rather, SuperDuper! had for some reason changed the drive permissions. While it made it "read and write" for "System" and "wheel," it made the drive "read only" for "everyone." I changed it to "read and write" for "everyone" and now it loads as before.
I feel obligated to say, for anyone who reads this, that since this was a problem with disk permissions, I don't think FCPX is really to blame.
The frustration expressed above is certainly warranted, but it is warranted, not in regards to this particular problem, bu rather by FCPX being so inadequate with media management in general, expecially its being unable to reconnect media manually or change the media connections to different files (such as if you make a color-graded version of a source file and want to switch timeline connections to it). My inference that this problem was connected to the program's inadequacies in this regard was mistaken. However, it was not really an unwarranted inference!
Thank you for your prompt and knowledgeable help, Tom!

I had to manually install the drivers on my existing xp installation. aside from that I have not gotton the black screen playing aaops with surround turned on which is when it was occuring. The installer did however extract the drivers to the c drive nicely. On a seperate partition and a clean install of xp the drivers did successfully install the agp driver but I had to manually install the soundstorm, memory, sound, and network. For anyone wondering how to install the soundstorm drivers manually I did mine by goijng to the directory where the files for the audio utilities were extracted finding the inf file right clicking and selecting install. I noticed one thing that might be a problem and that was the part where the microsoft sound files get installed didn't come up. however the soundstorm control panel and tray icon both function normally. On the existing XP installation I first removed all of items for nforce which were in the add remove programs control panel and then updating the drivers listed in the device manager again when I installed the sound drivers and utility the microsoft installer did not come up either, but the tray icon and control panel seem to work finem

Leadtec v1.07 Nforce driver query

Hi all,
I recently installed the Leadtec v1.07 drivers as I believe they are the newest Nforce drivers around and they are all WHQL'd. However, now in Device Manager under the System Devices section, all the Nvidia items (Memory controllers, AGP to PCI bridge and PCI system management) are listed as using v1.0.0.0 drivers - the original release drivers as far as I'm aware. This seems wrong since the new Leadtec drivers should include updates for these.
I was wondering if anyone with the same drivers installed could let me know what their driver versions are listed as for these devices?
Thanks for any help.

Surprisingly, the very same query is working fine on the same model loaded in 10g database. So, is this a bug in 11g?

Please Help - Hard Drive Gone - Won't Mount - No AppleCare...

Hi guys,
I'm in trouble here..
I was loading a bunch of photos from an external drive to iPhoto and my iMac froze up for a long time.
I couldn't do anything at all - so I finally force-powered down.
When I powered back up - My Hard Drive was gone and Finder will not open.
Other applications in my dock such as web browsers, iTunes etc. seem to be unaffected - I can also access Disk Utility and other Apps through Spotlight, but No sign of my "Macintosh HD".
I ran a "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility - and here's the report it provided:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
---The "Repair Disk" Button in Disk Utility is all grayed out though so I can't run it...
I'm at a loss. I can't afford AppleCare, and they won't help me because I'm just out of my 90 day phone support...
I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac - the last Glossy White one before the new ones.
I've got the latest version of Tiger.
Any advice would be a Godsend. I'm afraid I may have ruined my iMac.
Thanks!

We usually try to give folks who come here simplified advice that keeps them comfortable troubleshooting and repairing their Macs and won;t raise other issues for them. Command line tools don't usually fall into the simplified category and fsck for Mac OS X Tiger is not recommended by Apple, except as a last resort. It is known to cause other issues.
From the Apple Knowledge Base article that Dale has linked below;
Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you should use Disk Utility instead of fsck, whenever possible.
If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck.
IMO, it isn't helpful for you to come along and contradict sound advice from folks who have used the Knowledge Base and are aware of Apple's recommendations because you think that you know better.

Why is my primary drive gone?

I've just noticed that my primary hard drive is gone from Finder. It shows all the external drivers and my idisk but no primary drive. Which means I can't get to my root folder unless I go to a terminal window.
I'm trying to backup files to a DVD and its also not showing me the dvd drive when I insert a new DVD into the slot.
Anyone have any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks,
glenn

That means there is no Finder comment. Oddly enough for the first time I actually had a drive disappear "on its own" without me doing anything to make it so. I was running the 10.5.4 system updater on my backup drive, and when the computer restarted my usual startup drive had become invisible. The SetFile command would not work. I had to use the chflags command to reset to visible.
If you are running from your startup drive, and it is the startup drive that is invisible, try using this command:
sudo chflags nohidden /
You'll be asked for your password, type it carefully as nothing will be shown on the screen as you type. Hit Return again. It may be necessary to log out and in, or relaunch the Finder, to once again see the drive in the Finder.
