T500 drivers for WinXP64 ?

hi everyone
now i'm proud of my new "business" notebook and at the same time i'm absolutely gutted about the driver support!
a business notebook should work in an business environment, so why aren't there any drivers for win xp professional 64bit? do you really think, anyone in a company uses vista for it's business notebook? or has to have the newest os (win 7) from microsoft in an running environment accepting the incalculable risk of dysfunction of an untested system? (ignoring the immense costs of changing a whole it infrastructure? or managing different architectures (xp and win7 and ...) ?) so, in my humble opinion, in business win xp64! (cause it's a 64bit cpu in this laptop!! or not?) and win 200X server are still state of the art! or am i wrong?
after getting the network card working (with the original intel lan drivers! the lenovo stuff didn't work!) i hoped, all unsolved driver problems may be fixed with the newest service packs. nope. bad luck. so i tried the "Think Vantage" to make a system update and hopefully get the correct drivers. nope. this software is buggy and faulty method calls stops this software with an absolute specific error message: "There was a error while collecting user data." ah, ok, i see! thank you for this information. (write me, if you're interested in the log files)
conclusion: i like thinkpads and i always used them. but if i can't do so anymore cause lenovo may think that a 64bit machine should not host a 64bit os and win xp at all doesn't use anyone anymore - i'm sorry! nice marketing strategy of "how to destroy an outstanding reputation in 24 days" (maybe for dummies, cause it'll work that way by sure!!!)
all your nice little tools and gadgets are cute, but first of all, i need a running system - means drivers!
maybe anyone has some ideas where to get some manufacturer drivers (xp, 64bit) for the "audio device on high definition audio bus", some "base system device"s, the network controller (wlan), the "pci simple communications controller" "sm bus controller" and 2 "unknown device"s ...
for the lan device - intel has some 64bit xp drivers on its homepage (the prowinx64.exe works, ask me if you need a link).
thanks a lot for your help! + greetings

It is rather unfortunate, but Windows XP x64 is not supported by Lenovo.
Most of the drivers are available but not on Lenovo's Support website. You can find the Intel chipset, graphics, wlan, and ethernet driver at intel.com. I hope this brings you to a somewhat usable system.

T500 Drivers for Server 2003

Hello,
I have installed Server 2003 on lenovo T500, but i cant find drivers for it.
Does anybody know where i can get drivers for it?

With older drivers there may be certificate issues meaning that you will have to roll back the date / time and or install the driver in compatability mode. Directx and Video and Audio Service and drivers are DISABLED BY DEFAULT in 2003 server. I installed 2003 server on my 360 and it worked fine including the drivers. But its not cookie cutter out of the box. You have to enable the proper services BEFORE installing the drivers. The intel Drivers are not the proper drivers for an addin video card AND Chipset Drivers MUST BE INSTALLED first before anything else.The forum is not a step by step support for an end of life operating system on an unsupported platform. Even microsoft paid support does not accomodate teaching how to install server drivers on non servers.

ATI Drivers for WINXP64

just the last thing i need for a kick ass 64bit windows xp (hang on!?!) system is some OpenGL ATI graphics drivers for me radeon 9700Pro
ANYONE HELP!
PLS?

yeah its well bogus bas
Fill out the word document form - fax it back to us - fax it back to you - then email or copy - LOL!!! - I gave up when I saw the type of questions they asked!
ok - well as far as i have gathered from windows support forums and planetamd64 is that ATI is being all secretive and crap about it - there were sum beta drivers posted on planetamd64 forums but they were quickly forced to remove them.
A statement issued by ATI - and also in their FAQ's (me tinks) not too long ago said that they would only release BETA versions to registered BETA testers and they would do no such official release UNTIL windowsXP64 bit edition is actually launched - EVEN MORE BOGUS!!
So pls - anyone whos got a copy of dem mentioned drivers sort me out pls!!!!!
i know someone out theres got em :>
heh - cheeky - but wot the eck - u dont get if u dont ask ;>

Drivers for XP 64?

What's up folks?
I seem to be having a hell of a time finding nforce 3 drivers for WinXP64. Is MSI waiting on something or am I just blind, because I can't find anything anywhere.

Whether its worth it or not is a judgement you have to make. If you enjoy testing new OS's then you should go for it.
You won't see night and day differences but it is running stable on my machine and things seem a bit snappier. As more programs support Win 64 then you will start to see bigger differences.
You can install both Win 32 and Win 64 on the same HDD. Windows will create a boot menu that allows you to do this. You have to install Win 64 last if you want to do dual boot. MS does not recommend dual boot but a lot of us use it.
Its a little more complicated than with just one OS, but again you have to judge if the added complication is worth it to you.
Also the preview version is free and you can use it for 360 days before it expires. If you don't get in on the free verison you will probably have to play for the final version when it is released this spring.
Good luck.

I've just got an T500 and put Vista 64-bit on it. I've found (I think) all the drivers for it that it needs, except that there are 2 drivers in the Device Manager that show as not installed/needing update they are:
Under Other Devices
- PCI Serial Port
- PCI Simple Communications Controller
Anyone know what divers I should get to get these loaded properly or what devices/capabilities I am loosing because there are no drivers?
Thanks,
George

George, welcome to the forum,
have you tried using ThinkVantage System Update to see if it can automatically find the drivers for you?
Hope this helps

Latest Release 265 Series Nvidia Drivers for Lenovo T61p?

I ran 3DMark06 this evening on my T9300 T61p and got my usual 4460 Benchmark Score .... however, the benchmark's results page today lists a newer Nvidia Quadro FX notebook series driver available for my WinXP 32-bit system directly from Nvidia.
At the Nvidia site it looks like it's Nvidia's Verde Notebook Release 265 Series v266.58 WQHL Certified display driver, released in January 2011, which claims support for notebooks using Quardro FX 570M graphics.
The Nvidia download site is found here:
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx
I selected from the Nvidia Menu:
Quadro , then
Quadro FX Series (notebooks) , then
Quardro FX 570M , then
Quardro Graphics Driver , (from a choice of 5 different drivers for different scenarios), then
Windows XP , then
English , then
Search
Anyone tried this driver setup yet?
Two (I used to have Five) - T61p 15.4" WS T9300 2.5Ghz units, August 08/08 Builds with FX570M Nvidia Graphics; ... One W520 i7-2860QM w/2000M Nvidia Graphics (most recent acquisition and stupidly fast); .... One - T42 4:3 15" Flexview 1.8GHz with ATI Graphics (still perfect for traveling); ... Two - T500 15.4" units both with ATI HD3650 Graphics.

My advice is proceed with caution. Latest drivers aren't always the best option. I'd also read the release notes and see what was done to them. Driver updates are often issued for non-issues and won't make any difference. Here is an example of a ficticous update reason.
Bugfix: driver cause BSOD crash on dell XPS model XXX to YYY when entering hibernation
Such an update would never be picked up by Lenovo because it won't matter to any lenovo computer, and if you constantly update to the latest drivers, you're not avoiding problems, your making yourself little more then a beta tester running new code that could turn out to be unstable.
My motto is... if it's not broke, don't fix it!!!

Can't find drivers for ipod nano 8GB for windows vista HELP

I am trying to find the drivers for my ipod nano 8GB. I am running Windows Vista on my laptop. I have tried absolutely everything listed on this webpage and others. I have removed itunes and reinstalled it and still nothing. I downloaded usbstor.sys and usbstor.inf. I have gone into my computer and clicked on the ! next to my ipod in file manager and have gotten nowhere! This has been 5 days of frustration. I don't understand why apple would not just SUPPLY the software for the nano. I am beyond frustrated now. Can someone please help...

Something is going on with your Nano if Vista doesn't see it anymore. Did you use device manager and try to uninstall your Nano? Perhaps this will work. Once uninstalled, the next time you plug it in, Vista will see the Nano as a new device and install the proper USB drivers.
I'm not on my Vista computer right now...but here's an article to help you find device manager in Vista: http://kb.wisc.edu/page.php?id=5183

HP LaserJet P2035n Drivers for 64bit XP

So I tried to use the HP email and live chat support but neither worked because they said my p/n or s/n were invalid and I am pulling them off the printer itself. The issue I am having is with a HP LaserJet P2035N. It is hooked to the network and the driver for xp work the PLC5 ones. I have one computer that is running XP 64 bit and when I go to download the drivers for it there are no network driver for the printer only local drivers. I called the 1800 number and they gave me a website to go to that just redirected back to where I was. Any advice?

The model number HP LaserJet P2035N.

Anybody found Vista x64 drivers for nVidia GeForce 8600M GT (Macbook Pro)?

These guys at Apple are launching 64-bit Leopard and I still cannot find 64-bit graphics drivers for my laptop under Vista. It makes me sick. Their Boot Camp 1.4 vesion contains only 32-bit drivers.
It's the laptop manufacturer (Apple company) who are responsible for providing me with drivers, not the graphics card manufacturer (nVidia).
I have been waiting for 5 months already and will wait for another 1-2 months and if the drivers don't appear I'm going to sell the laptop because I simply cannot watch DVDs, I cannot play games without properly installed grahics card.
If you have the drivers, please let me know.
Best regards.

first of all, I think apple will never really "support" windows 64bit...
anyway
try -> http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
my vista 32bit works with the drivers from this page.
but u need to read the "Quickstart Guide" before you try installing the drivers
cheers

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still
get the same message.
Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

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

Unable to install XP drivers for Deskjet 3650 on Windows 7

I have a HP Deskjet 3650 that is connected via USB to my main computer running Windows 7. I can print without problems I am having problems sharing this printer with 2 other computers running Windows XP. I have downloaded the drivers for XP and extracted them onto the Windows 7 computer.
On the properties of the HP Deskjet 3600 Series printer, I have clicked on the Sharing tab.
Share this Printer and Render print jobs on client computers are both checked.
When I click on Additional Drivers, only X64 is checked and says yes under installed.
The other two options (Itanium and x86) are both unchecked and say no under installed.
I tried checking x86 and clicking OK. I'm then prompted to install print drivers and Browse to where the print drivers are located. I browse to the 3600/enu/drivers/win2k_xp folder and see hpf3600k.inf When I click Open, and select OK, I get a Selected Printer Driver Not Found Error which says The specified location does not contain the driver hp deskjet 3600 series (LIDIL) for the requested processor architecture.
On one of the XP machines, I have installed the printer software and am only able to print if I physically plug the printer into it.
On the other XP machine, I have not installed the printer software but I have download and extracted the drivers. When I click on the Add Printer Wizard and select the printer on the network, it tells me that I am about to connect to a printer on the Windows 7 computer and says that it will automatically install a print driver on my machine. I click Yes to allow it to continue and it tells me that the server for the hp deskjet 3600 printer does not have the correct printer driver installed and that I can click OK to search for the proper driver. I click OK and browse to the folder that I extracted the drivers to and see that hpf3600k.inf is located in the folder and click OK and I get a Install Driver Error window that says Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver. Contact your administrator for help locating and installing a suitable driver.
So, it appears to me that the driver that I am downloading from the hp site for Windows XP is not the appropriate driver, am I wrong here?
How can I get this printer to work print on all 3 computers without having to move it from one to the other. The printer has to be physically connected to the Windows 7 machine as the other 2 are in the kids' rooms.
This question was solved.

Try the following: on the XP machine go to the Printers and Faxes folder, Add a Printer, Local Printer, Create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the shared computer and printer), OK, then click on have disk and point at the directory where you have unzipped the XP driver.
On the XP machine you have already installed the driver do the following: go to the Printer and Faxes directory, right click on the Deskjet 3650, select Properties, Ports, Add port, Local port, New Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the actual share name for the shared computer and printer), OK.
