Problem installing sound driver on Lenovo G550 - Windows XP

I have installed windows XP on my lenovo G550. As shown on lenovo site, i tried to install"Conexant Audio Driver" for my audio driver but it is failing. I opened readme file it says somthing like "Change Point: Add .Net3.5 in driver package"- Does this mean that this driver installaton needs dotnet 3.5 or they updated driver to support dotnet 3.5 ???
I am installing driver from following link
http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_show_1402.html
but this driver is failing.
Can someone please help me in finding audio driver for windows XP
Thanks,
Hemil

i want to install sound driver in windows XP in my laptop HP Compaq Presario C794VU.
i have driver setup. i have run the setup but sound not comes.
please give me the procedure how to install the sound driver. thank you

Hi,
First install correct MS-UAA:
MS-UAA for XP with SP2 (required with a reboot before Audio and Modem) here
MS-UAA for XP with SP3 (required with a reboot before Audio and Modem) here
Only when you will do this download:
Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 here
Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
No to connect,
Install from a list or specific location,
Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
Ignore XP when it complains.
Reboot.

Satellite Pro M30 - cannot install sound driver

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M30 which usaed to work fine but I can no longer install sound card drivers on it.
I THINK it has happened since we reinstalled windows XP Pro with SP2 but can not be certain.
It is trying to install the Sigmatel AVC97 drivers and comes up with the following error.
Invalid operating system parameter or this installer does not support this operating system
Any suggestions as there seems to be only one sound driver for the SPM30 family.

Nobody here have got a problems with sound driver installation just you
So is this not strange for you???
Either you did something wrong or its your windows XP issue.
Please note that the Toshiba driver page provides also the Installation Instructions
There you can find the right installation order!
Install your OS again and follow this instruction in this doc!

Install sound driver of hp compaq nx6320 for win 7

please informe me how to install sound driver of hp compaq nx6320 for win 7

INSTALLING WIN 7 ON HP NX6320 INCLUDING SOUND
The biggest hurdle has been installing from CD when the setup file conveniently forgets USB and CD drives.
Use the HP recovery discs to get XP back up and running, then shut down. If you did not make Recovery Discs use Spotmau or Clonezilla to make a backup image of the recovery partition.
If you don't have the recovery discs, then shove any XP on there. There's no need to worry about registration because it's only going to be there for about an hour.
Reboot with Spotmau (my favorite) or Clonezilla and shrink the XP partition. You're aiming for 50GB or thereabouts.
Reboot XP and using disc manager create and format a volume in the unused space. (D
Load your Win 7 disc in the optical drive and open in file view, NOT autorun.
Copy all files and folders to your newly created D:drive.
Run SETUP from D:drive. Select options to completely overwrite. You don't care about backing up the XP installation.
In my case, the nx6320 went straight online and downloaded a variety of drivers without my assistance. This included sound.
For the benefit of other users, I've backed up many of the drivers, including those that could be overlooked: memory reader slot, PCMCIA, 1394 etc.
I haven't yet made sufficient posts to be able to send PMs to anyone. If people want to PM me with an email address, I'll happily forward the drivers I've backed up.
Advice on configuration:
Once Win 7 is running, disc management allows you to resize, create and delete partitions "on the fly".
Leave your C: partition alone.
Delete all other partitions (if you backed up the XP recovery partition, now is not the time you need it)
Create at least three new partitions, A:, D: and R: (My example is 250G drive: 50G for OS on Cystem, 75G for A:Applications, 75G Data 50G R:recovery)
Now go and do all your personal setups; screen res, colors, power management, network connections etc. and go out for a night on the town while some 700+ updates are downloaded.
Shut down and reboot Spotmau. Create an image of the Cystem partition to R:Recovery
Reboot into Win 7 and whenever you install software that allows you to define the location, change it to A:. I had an entire machine crash because of a power glitch. With the Applications partition you can recover Windows, and on A:Applications, you have folder lists to remind you what needs to be reinstalled.
Once you have a stable running machine, again make an image C:system to R:recovery. If the OS crashes like mine did, a single recovery will put it back in its place with all the right registry entries for the applications installed on A:

Satellite PRO L20: Tools & Utilities CD-ROM refuses to install sound driver

The Tools & Utilities CD-ROM refuses to install Sound driver on my system (Satellite PRO L20). Any idea how to tackle that problem?

Did you try to download and to install the sound driver from the Toshiba driver page???
There you should find the newest version.
But may I ask how did you try to install this sound driver?? Did you get any error messages???

I am having a problem installing the x86 drivers on a Windows 2008 server for a hp laserjet 4000n.

Hi all,
Sylonious, did you manage to sort this problem out? I have been experiencing similar problems. I think my problem was because I had many different versions of JDKs. I have done a complete re-install. I would be really grateful to you (and anyone else) for help with this problem.
I have re-installed JSDK1.4.2_03, set the "path" variable to "C:\JSDK1.4.2_03".
When I compile using "javac" I get an error saying "javac" is not recognised.
When I compile using "C:\j2sdk1.4.2_03\bin\javac Freq.java" no error is thrown.
Every time I try to run a java file, I always get the NoClassDefFound error. When run with the -verbose option, files are loaded from C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_03\bin - is this correct?
I have removed all previous references to java in the registry editor.
Please help !

Vipul

I have Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 installed on Windows XP 32 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, as well as Windows 8.1 (previously 8) and no problems.
Are you installing the program from installation files (purchased as a download to a Windows or Mac computer??) or from installation disc labelled for Windows?
After the program is installed, then you install the Premiere Elements 9.0.1 Update and work from it.

Please help me out.

have you tried to install drivers on safe mode or manually?
after you locate the .inf file for the driver that you want to install, manually install the new driver. to do this, follow these steps:
- click start, right-click computer, and then click properties.in the tasks pane, click device manager.
- if you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click continue.
- in device manager, locate the device for which you want to install the driver.
note to display hidden devices, click show hidden devices on the view menu.
- right-click the device, and then click update driver software.
- click browse my computer for driver software, click let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, and then click have disk.
- in the install from disk dialog box, click browse, locate an .inf file for the device driver that you want to install, and then click open.
- follow the steps in the update driver software devicename dialog box to update the driver

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.

Lenovo G550 Windows 7 Professional Upgrade

This Notice refers to 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U models of the Lenovo G550 notebook PC’s only.
The 2958-A5U and 2958-A4U G550 systems ship preloaded with Windows XP Professional, and include a Windows 7 Professional upgrade disk.
Issue: When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, some users have been unable to successfully complete the upgrade.  The most commonly reported failure point is when the customer is asked to insert a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) key. The Microsoft Upgrade process for Win XP to Win7 requires the upgrade to be executed from a ‘cold boot’. If the Windows 7 DVD is inserted while the system is running, the installation process will auto run. However, at the end of the installation process, the system will ask for a 25-key Certificate of Authenticity (COA). The Win7 upgrade process will not successfully finish the installation using this method. The installation DVD must be inserted while the machine is powered off and not running.
When upgrading from Windows XP Professional to Windows 7, Microsoft advises that this process be done via a custom ‘clean’ installation.  Per Microsoft.com; "A custom (clean) installation erases the contents of your PC's hard drive. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7".  The clean install will remove any pre-loaded software applications, including VeriFace, One Key Recovery, and other applications that were installed by Lenovo or the user.
Customers should review the following information prior to performing the Windows 7 Professional upgrade.
The Windows 7 installation procedure provides a clean installation of Windows 7 Professional edition. During this process, all contents of the C: drive including all applications, files, programs and user data will be archived in the Windows.old folder.  The data should be available for access, but the applications and programs will not run, and Windows 7 appropriate versions will need to be installed. Lenovo STRONGLY recommends that external backups or all user data are made prior to initiating the upgrade in order to prevent permanent data loss.
Correct Windows 7 Upgrade Procedure:
1) Power off system
2) Insert Windows 7 disk in the DVD drive
3) Power on system and press F12 to access the boot order menu
4) Select the option to start from the DVD / Optical drive
5) Follow the on screen directions as Windows 7 installs
6) Remove the DVD at the end of the process and reboot to Windows 7
Windows 7 has native drivers that will fully support most of the hardware on Lenovo G550 systems.  In order to maximize the functionality of the Trackpad and the Power Management system, the appropriate Lenovo drivers must be installed. The most current Lenovo Windows 7 drivers and applications are available for download here. Please check this site periodically for updates.
Recovering to Windows XP by using One Key Recovery:
The One Key Recovery feature can restore the factory XP downgrade preload at any time, but will erase all other data.
Important: All user data should be saved prior to implementing the following procedure
      1) Power off the system
2) Press the recovery button (small round button next to the power button)
3) System will start and OKR (one key recovery) application will load
4) Select System Recovery from the menu
5) Select option to Restore to factory default
6) Click “Start” button to recover your system partition

Error message displayed: the product key will not work with this version of windows 7 and I need to reinstall or get a serial for windows 7 professional .
The recovery disk set is supposed to have an SLP key embedded, so that you do not need to activate it, as long as the disk set matches the OS version that is nominated on the COA attached to the laptop.
If it really does say "windows 7 ultimate", then there is something odd going on. Can you please double check that it says "ulitimate"?
With Windows 7 licening issues and keys, the terminology needs to be quite exact to get to the best answer for you!

IMAC 27inch VistaUltimate Problem installing Sound/Video Drivers

yeah im having big problems instaling the sound driver/video drivers.
i tried installing both of the ati radeon drivers that come from there website neither worked.
ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics processor with 256MB of GDDR3 memory
ATI Radeon HD 4850 graphics processor with 512MB of GDDR3 memory
the sound driver doesnt say it has a problem but the sound doesnt work?
i couldnt find drivers on the apple website for microsoft ? where do i go?

You might get some help if you posted how you are running Vista. If you are using Bootcamp navigate to the Bootcamp forum. If you are using software such as Parallels or Fusion navigate to their forums. With due respect this is a Mac forum not a MS Windows forum.

Satellite P100-426 - What sound driver I need for Windows 7 64bit?

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 64bit to my P100-426. It was no problem but I can't foud a driver for the sound chip and I also don't know wich sound chip is on board.
Maybe someone can help me.
thank's a lot.
sven_lee

Hey,
The problem is hat neither for Windows Vista 64bit or Windows 7 64bit are drivers available for your notebook model. I have checked this on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
According the Toshiba page your notebook has Conexant sound chip
But Conexant doesnt provide drivers directly so you have to check the Toshiba website again
I found out that Satellite P300 has also Conexant sound card and there is a driver for Windows 7 64bit available. In my opinion you should try the sound driver from Satellite P300. Theoretically this should work. ;)

Problems installing update PS CS5 on new Windows 7 laptop w/ prior PS vers. already installed

Hi,
When I first got my new Windows 7 laptop, I tried loading PSCS5 onto it, but since it was an update disk, and previous versions weren't there, it didn't load. I finished my work during a 30-day trial period on a recent sabatical, I uninstalled it and all PS files except images saved, and have now gone through the following process in attempt to load it:
1) Loaded PS 6.0 from a CD and serial number that I own--no problems
2) Loaded PS CS2 from a CD and serial nuimber I own--no problems
3) Loaded PSCS5 from an update CD also purchased, and got an error message saying something about CS4 needing to be uninstalled before CS4 could be properly loaded.
Puzzling because A: I never loaded CS4, and B: was not trying to. So I uninstalled everything conceivably troubling from Adobe, even Flash Player, Patch files, but not ASA or Adobe Download Helper. Some Adobe files left behind I deleted and emptied the recycle bin and restarted over several different times. To my knowledge, my CS5 has only been used on one other computer. Do I need to de-activate it on the other one? I don't find it on a 3rd computer, but if it was simply uninstalled, without de-activation, would I need to re-install it to deactivate it on the 3rd one. I'm hoping somebody can help me tell how many computers have CS5 activation.
Now, I've tried simply loading the CS2 disk and going to the PSCS5, and that failed, so I re-did steps 1-3 after purging also Lightroom3 and DreamWeaver CS3, thinking something from them might've been the culprit (though they earlier loaded flawlessly after a de-activation of DW on another computer). This time the Adobe Support box came up and after searching the system or whatever, said 'no problems could be found', and that I should contact Adobe Support. No FAQ's address this problem and a scan of forums was not helpful. So here I am.
Any ideas? If it is lack of a Registry entry, it would be helpful to know exactly which one and how precisely to get it and patch that into Windows 7 for those of us who are not IT geeks. I'm guessing this might be a recurrent issue and it would be helpful to simply have that code to patch in, if it is known.
Otherwise, I'm stuck using CS2, which while OK, is not CS5.
All my Adobe products have been purchased originally purchased and activated by me.
Thanks for any help,
Michael J Kissane

Hi Jeff,
After reading your mail, I've un-installed the previous versions now
(both 6.0 and CS2), including manually some files listed as
impossible to uninstall under the PS 6.0 wizard (Adobe Program files
x86, something). I restarted the computer (Lenovo running Windows 7
Home Premium).
I then tried to run the PS CS5 Upgrade disk directly and it failed
with suggestion to go to the ASA, which said quickly "Inspection
could not identify any issues. Please contact Adobe Support for
further assistance"... and the website for same.
I recall I did get a box with a request for the qualifying
prerequisite's serial when I first tried this in December, but not
having that on hand and after failing (I believe I even tried getting
serials from 'My Adobe' resource) I punted and went for the trial
period to finish my project. The rest I've written about in my forum posting.
I'm hoping info from Maggie_8 from the forum
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3880631#3880631 may get me through
it. Otherwise, I don't know if I can save what's on the new laptop to
an external HD and start all over after back tracking to a previous
point (this was possible in older Windows OS, I recall, but one lost
anything not saved elsewhere as the clock was turned back, so to speak)
Frustrating...I had problems with Adobe Reader, too, and I hope I've purged it.
Will persevere, but without wasting eons of time. Other fish to fry
and all that...
-Mike
