Thinkpad T500 Wireless Driver Issue in Windows 7

The subject pretty much says it all.
I've installed Windows 7 (x64) and everything is working fine with the exception of my internal wireless adapter. I've tried all the Windows 7 drivers provided and also tried the Vista drivers (x64 when applicable). Still nothing. It's (as far as I know) the Thinkpad internal wireless as opposed to any of the Intel ones.
To rule out a few things, yes I've checked to make sure it's enabled in the BIOS, and I'm certain the wireless switch is on.
Anyone have any ideas or similar fixes?
Should it help, my exact model number is: (T500) 2242-CT0

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Try this, install the Hotkey Features, do a mandatory reboot, thereafter press Fn-F5 to radio on the wireless device, once that's done install the wireless driver.
Would be a good idea to check in the BIOS if the card is enabled in there.
Let us know the outcome.

HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Hello,
For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
The problem:
Printing: Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
Scanning: Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
Things I have tried:
Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
Things I have not tried:
Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
You tell me
Curiosities:
I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
Theories:
I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that.
Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

Hi Zerosouls,
I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
Please let me know what happens
Thanks

ThinkPad W530 Wireless Driver Not Available for Download

I have a ThinkPad W530 laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit. Machine type and model = 2438-4CU
When I go to the driver list on Lenovo's website and click on it to download...it's unavailable...you can't download it. The release date shows 3/28/13
Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) for Windows 7 (64-bit) version 15.03.1000.1637
g1w216ww_64.exe

I have also installed Lenovo's System Update and it doesn't list the wireless driver as a download option either. I have installed all the other drivers found by the System Update tool.
Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with this particular driver download.
Thanks for your help...

Edge E320 - Wireless Driver Issue

Just got the boss a new laptop - Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E320, whacked Win 7 Pro on as a clean installation as usual, though Win 7 didn't pick up a lot of the drivers automatically, so I had to download them, which was fine...
However, when I reboot, the Wireless Driver seems to change / fail, still shows as "Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000BGN" in Device Manager, but shows with an Exclamation Mark...
I've tried reinstalling the driver, but after a reboot it happens again...
If anyone can suggest a fix for this, I'd be extremely keen to try it!

Hello BR and welcome to community,
Kindly download the updated driver from the Lenovo website.

Display and driver issues with Windows 7 on i5 MBP

Hello-
I just purchased one of the i5 Macbook Pros, and set out to get Windows 7 working through boot camp. I did this on an older model (32-bit) previously with no problems.
This time around, installation of Windows worked fine, but I have had some trouble getting all the drivers working. The setup.exe program on the OS X DVD didn't want to run at all, I had to do a workaround from the command line that I found on a forum (otherwise I just got a response of "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model").
Eventually I got (at least some of) the drivers to work, but there are still some issues.
After installing the drivers, things like brightness and two-finger clicking started working. A number of other things still aren't, though:
- Display: My machine has a 1440x900 screen. But for some reason Windows refuses to go higher than 1280x800.
- Network: No wireless at all. Windows doesn't detect any wireless capability, and only gets on-line via ethernet.
There may be other issues, but these are the big ones. Can anyone provide suggestions on what to do to get everything working?
Thanks!

I just used winclone to move my Win 7 from my Core2Duo MPB to an i5 MBP and had to do a few updates and have eneded up in pretty much the same place as you. I won't bother installing from scratch. I'm guessing we just need to wait for some bootcamp updates for these new machines.
For those of you who are looking to migrate your bootcamp partition over, winclone made it easy - I followed the directions for resizing and Win7 boots, does a disk check, then installed many of the new drivers automatically. There are some drivers that are still needed however, wifi and video. I also so a USB driver issue but have to look at that a little closer before I comment.
Best of luck,
Simon

HP PSC 1510 driver issue with Windows 8.1

I can't get my HP PSC 1510 all in one to work with Window's 8.1. I've installed HP doctor and the driver fails. I've downloaded the new driver so I don't know what the issue is? Anybody solve a similar issue?

Hi @DerekRL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
I can see you're experiencing driver issues. I'd like to help!
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

PT UML290 driver issue with Windows 8

Installed the windows 8 consumer preview. The operating system says there is a driver error for the usb modem. "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)" Need an updated driver quick! Researched online and I'm not the only one with this problem

I would like to add my request that Verizon work with Pantech to update the firmware and / or driver to make it work with Windows 8. I use a touchscreen table (Asus EP-121) when traveling, so did a temporary install on a spare hard drive to see how Windows 8 works. It is great for tablets.
I was able to get pretty much everything else to function perfectly, with a few small glitches. Understandable with a Beta operating system. The most serious, though, is that I cannot connect with Verizon because of this driver / device issue.
Windows 8 reportedly will have native 4G LTE drivers when it is released, intended for internal WWAN devices. So hopefully we can get something updated and working soon - it would be a great help when I travel!
Until then - yep, back to Windows 7 I guess.
Verizon has no control on releases by manufacturers. If Pantech makes it work then Verizon can deliver it. Windows 8 is a preview and Pantech is more than likely going to wait until the RC phase before doing any major work as beta releases could have major changes which would make you start over because the old code wouldn't work right.

ThinkPad T500 Hard Drive "Holder" Part Number(s)??

I have a ThinkPad T500 ca. late 2008, I want to buy another hard drive "holder" for it just like the one holding the existing hard drive.
Is this available at the parts store, what are the part number(s) involved??
Can someone please point me in the right direction??
Thank you, Tom

what does the x300 look like I've not seen one
The X300 uses 1.8inch HDD, the rails will not be able to hold the smaller drive if it's able to hold T500's 2.5'' drive. Also, X3xx series doesn't require HDD caddy. I think this is what lead_org meant.
Hope this helps.

X240 Network Driver issue with Windows PE

HelloI am working with OSD deployment in a big organisation. We are using SCCM 2012 SP1 to deploy new computers with our own image and applications. The new Thinkpad X240 is causing a big problem at the moment since we do not seem to be able to find an appropriate Ethernet network driver for the built-in Intel ethernet interface that is working in winPE 4.0. This is what happens.The computer boots, I press the F12 key, the computer presents a list of bootable devices, I choose the ethernet NIC.The computer PXE boots - it recieves an DHCP address from our server, downloads boot.wim, downloads the boot.winPE.boot.wim file and then starts winPE on the X240. It gets to "Preparing Network Connections", hangs there for a while, and then it reboots.If I use the F8 option and run ipconfig, it reports "Windows IP Configuration" and nothing else. If I run /renew it says "The operation failed as no adapter is in the state permissible for this operation". There seems to be no NIC available to winPE to start the Task Sequence with.I have downloaded the Windows 8 x64 Network driver and the Windows 7 x64 enterprise driver package Network driver from Lenovo, for this model and injected the Network drivers in the WinPe boot file. Neither of these drivers is working with the Network Interface in winPE. We do not have any problems with any other models, they all install with our SCCM 2012 SP1. Is there anyone who have experienced and resolved this? Kind regardsNick

Hello, I experiencing the strikly same situation with the same configuration :- SCCM 2012 SP1,- SCCM 2012 SP1 Boot Image x86 4.0,- Lenovo X240,- Drivers Lenovo SCCM package for Windows 7 (32-bit) http://support.lenovo.com/fr/fr/downloads/ds038819- Task Sequence W7x86. No problem when deploying an adaptated Task Sequence with Lenovo X250. However, WinPE don't allowing the network adapter to get a TCP IP configuration when deploying with Lenovo X240. To resolve this situation, do you use :- the standard boot image in the Windows 8 DVD or a customized one with Windows ADK ?- your boot image is this a x86 type or x64 ?- In case of a customized Boot Image, have you, please, some advice to give to use Windows ADK ? Best regards

ThinkPad X60 Wireless Driver

HI all,
I have just brought an X60 thinkpad off a friend for my daughter's high school work. I have reinstall XP on it and i put all the drivers back on however I cant seem to get the wireless driver to work.
i think i have selected the correct one from the website but it doesnt seem to work.
the part number for the wireless adaptor is FRU 42T0855

Welcome to the forum!
That card is an Intel 3945ABG. Presuming you installed the correct driver, you should go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup file from there.
Good luck and let us know.
Cheers,
George

E430 - Windows 8.1 x64 broadcom wireless driver issue

Hi,
I have a E430 running windows 8.1:
Driver info: PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727&SUBSYS_060814E4&REV_01\4&1BEFDF2B&0&00E1
My wifi connection is just not working properlly. When I was running with windows 8, it works fine.
Has anyone have a updated driver for this , for Windows 8.1? The current one available from Lenovo website is not working for me.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try deleting the Broadcom wireless device in the Device Manager (including deleting drivers if prompted) and rebooting? I just did a fresh re-install of Win 8.1 (not "Refrsh - I mean format and install from scratch) and it works fine with the driver Windows 8.1 installed automatically. If possible, connected via a LAN cable after you reboot and then try to install the driver using Winodws Update.
I think that version is actually newer than the one listd in Lenovo System Update so I've just been using the one Windows installed automatically. For me, up thru Winows 8 this device driver was not available through Windows update and had to first be installed manually.

Wireless Sync issue with Windows 7

I just picked up my new Droid X on Sat(with the 2.2 software already installed) and love it. I was playing around with the wireless sync options, media share, DLNA etc. I have a newer Sony Vaio with Windows 7 64 bit and. My computer has no problem seeing the Droid through Windows Media player or in my home group network(Linksys E2000 router). However the Droid cannot see the PC through Media sharing option/simple file sharing/ or DNLA. It of course has no issue connected USB which I can live with that. Also The Droid and my PC do see each other via bluetooth but it will not pair. I was just curious if anyone out ther with W7 has run into this issue and determined a fix for it this.

Plug the Droid in and then find the device driver, remove the device driver, restart windows and your Droid and try again.

Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo).
Thanks in advance.

Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download.
I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
Best of luck.

Driver issues with Windows 7 installation through Bootcamp

Some background: I've got Windows 7 62 bit installed on a 30 gb partition via Bootcamp. My Macbook is from the summer of 2010, and it's currently running Snow Leopard. I don't have a copy of the Mac OS X installation disc (it didn't come with my Macbook), so instead I downloaded the drivers off the Apple website (Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033) and put it on a flashdrive.
Issue: Once I've got Windows running, I can't begin the driver installation.
Attempted Fix: Initially I got the message that I needed extended privileges to be able to access the installation setup, so I used the runaround (command prompt) to give it the privileges necessary to run the setup. The drivers appeared to install, but nothing really changed.
I used this runaround: http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/?p=208
However, I didn't have the file bootcamp64.msi, so I used bootcamp.msi. I checked all the driver folders, but I didn't see bootcamp64.msi.
Any and all help would be appreciated!

First of all, windows is either 64 bit or 32 bit, not 62 bit.
Second thing, do you have Macbook Pro? since you have mid 2010 macbook but it is not supported by the Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 for MacBook Pro 13 inch-Mid 2010 is not supported.
Instead of this you need to download and install
Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4131
for which system requirements are :
MacBook (Late 2006 through Mid 2010)
MacBook Air (Early 2008 through Late 2010)
MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.4/2.2GHz, Early 2008 through Late 2011)
Mac Pro (Mid 2006 through Mid 2010)
iMac (Early 2006 through Mid 2011)
which matches your system requirement.
