Some drivers not working in fresh XP SP1 install

My latest machine is set up for dual boot. The general use OS is XP SP2. The nForce drivers were installed from unified package 5.10. All hardware is working fine, and no problems.
The OS for digital recording however, is a different story. I'm using XP SP1 installed in a different partition. SP1 is usually recommended over SP2 for music multitracking purposes. I installed the exact same nForce drivers from the same 5.10 package. Device Manager is reporting two problems. The multimedia audio device drivers are not installed, and the Realtek Ethernet drivers are not installed. The nVidia Ethernet device works with no problem. I did not uncheck any options during the driver install.
So basically, I have no sound, and am only showing one Ethernet device. I've tried re-installing the drivers, but get the same result. Also tried updating the audio drivers through Device Manager, pointing the wizard directly at a folder full of the 4.57 nForce audio drivers which I've downloaded as well. The wizard doesn't even see them.
Funny how my recording OS is the one with no sound... hehe. Although I doubt it, are there any known issues with unified package 5.10 and XP SP1? Anyone have an idea of what might be happening?
Let me know if further info is needed.

Bimmerboy,
I do not know of any issue between SP2 and 5.10. It could just be a bad install of WinXP. I would do a fresh install on that partition again. It should solve the problem.
Take Care,
Richard

  • Satellite L755D-S257​9 AMD Drivers Not Working on Fresh Windows 7 Install

    Hi,
    The HDD died in my L755D-S2579 yesterday. I was able to install Windows 7 on a new HDD but cannot get the AMD drivers to work correctly. I've downloaded the latest drivers from the support page and it seems to go through the install but the Display menu continues to use the Generic Standard VGA Graphics Adapter instead of the AMD drivers. When I try to open AMD Vision Engine Control Center it says that there are no settings that can be changed at this time. I've tried uninstalling the generic drivers and uninstalling and reinstalling the AMD drivers but nothing is working. What can I do to get this to work? I can't continue using this laptop if it's running at 1024x768.

    What is the part number of your computer? It looks something like PSK32U-03P00X.

  • Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

    Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
    But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
    "Please wait...

    I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

  • U330 Windows 7 Drivers Not Working

    Hello,
    I have recently been in the process of updating all of my drivers on my u330-2267EU to the latest Windows 7 versions. I had been waiting for this update to the drivers site for some time since I was able to get Windows 7 installed before the Oct 22nd release. I am running Windows 7 64bit and I am running into some trouble with these newest drivers not working correctly.
    u330 Driver Download Site (Using Win 7 64bit Versions): http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=16
    Switchable Graphics: there are 2 new Windows 7 drivers related to video that I downloaded. One referring to the discrete ATI graphics card, and the other to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. After installing both of these, setting BIOS for Switchable Graphics, and running the Switchable Graphics program from the desktop after bootup, brings up the desired menu with the option to switch from power saving gpu to the high performance gpu. When I click the "high performance gpu" button, the screen flickers and fades to black momentarily as it should, but when the screen returns and after waiting for a few minutes no switch is made, it just stays in the powersaving gpu. Suggestions?
    Power Management Software: I also downloaded Lenovo's Energy Management Windows 7 driver for the u330. After installing the software I was initially able to bring up the menu to change power options, but the options that I chose would not make any apparent changes. Actually, after installing the program, it made my screen incapable of changing its brightness using the "function + arrow" button combination. Also, no longer when i change my default power windows power options will it adjust my screen brightness. It just stays the same no matter what. The only way that I can now change the brightness of my screen is by going into the graphics settings of the Intel GMA and change the settings there, but that is a completely horrible way of having to do that.
    So there you have it, after all this waiting I still dont have the ability to utilize the switchable graphics nor properly use the Lenovo Power Management software. Oh yea, and I still cant adjust the brightness of my screen. I have re-downloaded and re-installed these drivers many times to try to get them to work correctly, but so far no luck.
    I would greatly appreciate any help on the subject or at least have the knowledge that someone at Lenovo has noticed these problems and a fix is coming soon
    thanks!
    Solved!

  • Keyboard: some keys not working

    Some keys not working.  Need help/suggestions.  Not great with computers so PLEASE give details/steps re: how to do what you suggest - thanks!
    Details: intel based iMac running snow leopard 10.6.8.  Apple wireless/bluetooth keyboard (came with the iMac).
    Some keys suddenly stopped working:  space, tab, capLock, option key to the right of space bar (one on the left works), down arrow
    The problem happens in various programs (safari, pages, etc)
    The keyboard is fine on another iMac
    A different keyboard is fine on this/the involved iMac
    (nutshell: keyboard works fine - computer works fine, unless they're together)
    Here's what's been tried/checked:
    -checked the settings for universal access ("mouse keys" are off) and checked for any bluetooth keyboard shortcuts.
    -in system preferences "speech" is not set for "speak selected text when the key is pressed" - this is not checked/selected
    -tried creating a new user but had the same issue so it's computer-wide rather than just a user account
    -removed the keyboard and reconnected (using the +/- signs and "disconnect" and putting in a new code of numbers to pair keyboard)
    -language/text is set for english
    -did the keyboard viewer and the keys in question did NOT highlight when pressed (but don't forget the entire keyboard is fine on a different computer so thekeys aren't the issue)
    -"slow keys" is turned off re: keyboard in system preferences.
    Any help is welcomed.  It's frustrating knowing the keyboard works, just not with this computer.  Please help.  Many thanks!

    yes - not sure how this works...if you can see my original post there are a lot of details in there.  If you can't...
    nutshell: the keyboard works on a different iMac
                 a different keyboard works on this/the involved iMac
                 I tried to create a different user and the keyboard still does not work so it is computer-wide
                 I also removed the keyboard from the computer (using the +/- symbols and disconnecting and then repairing it.  The problem remained
    Thanks for any help.  It's crazy that the keyboard is fine and the computer is fine but together, there's the problem.
    Thank you!!!

  • I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work?

    I have downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 to my MacBook. Why do some features not work? I have OSX 10.6.8. I am using this trial version for a class I am taking on coding webpages using Dreamweaver. there are features I am using in class that will not open up or appear as options when I use the trial version. Are certain features locked out until I buy a copy or download a purchased copy?

    Trial versions have no functional limitations, though your setup/situation might not be supportive of all functionality.  You'll need to identify specific issues to get help with them.  You should be posting in the DW forum instead of here if your issue does not have to do with downloading/installing.

  • Amd video drivers not working after win 10 upgrade

    AMD video drivers not working after win 10 install. running on microsoft basic driver, call hp smartfriend assistance. appearently there is a fix but hp will not help unless i pay 100.00$ US because the warranty has expired on my notebook.Have a pavilion dv7 was running AMD Mobility Radeon HD5000 series. Thank you hp will not be purchasing an hp product again.  Alienware here i come.

    Not much we can do since your model is not supported by Toshiba for Win 10 upgrade according to THIS list so there is no Win 10 driver for your TouchPad. That button, however, is not the only way to disable/enable the TouchPad.  FN+F9 does it and you can fix it where, when you plug in an external mouse, it will automatically be disabled.

  • Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

    Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
    When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
    There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
    Any help greatfully received!

  • My imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick

    my imac is running mountain lion and last night i downloaded maverick. in midst of installing it, it said a powerPC app microsoft word would not work so i canceled the install for the time being. my questions is  if i choose to finish installing maverick does that mean i will nevver be able to access word documents stored on my desktop? or do the word docs automatically convert to pages or what? i am so confused. would i be better off just sticking with mountain lion and send the maverick install to the trash? hoping someone will be able to answer my question though i am afraid the response is likely to be just stick with mountain lion so you can keep using word. i had been looking forward to maverick but it seems pretty drastic to not have access to microsoft word anymore by switching to maverick. hope someone has an answer so i can have the best of both worlds so to speak!

    thanks for your response Csound1 on the peninsula ... if i go ahead and install maverick and then download LibreOffice or OpenOffice will i then be able to access old microsoft word saved documents on my deskstop through those two free alternatives? i am not that knowledgeable about these things so i am not sure if you are saying i will just be able to use libreoffice or openoffice for creating new documents or whether i can access the saved microsoft docs? are they transferred to OO or LO or what and if editing of the old word docs is needed can i do that through the OO and LO programs or apps (see i am not even sure if i am using the correct vocabulary!) hope you can answer this as quick as the first question, so i can decide to stick with mountain lion and trash the maverick install or proceed with maverick install and hoppe that my microsoft word docs are still accessible through OO or LO or adding to myquestion will pages on maverick be able to open the old word documents? thanks again!

  • RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

    The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

    you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.
