Updating Drivers

Hello,
I have a macbook air with windows 7 installed on boot camp. Recently, i have been having trouble connecting to some WIFI networks. Since i already had similar problems with a macbook, i think it is hardware related.
I would like however to update the drivers to make sure this not some software glitch. I was wondering how exactly to get these new drivers.
Thank you,
Rushd Khalaf

Thinkvantage systemupdate will update drivers too. No manual driver download needed it update works for you.

How do I update drivers and BIOS on Satellite P300?

I've been having problems with my wifi, and as my partners laptop is working fine, it was suggested that I might need to update drivers and/or BIOS.
I've tried to do this but where do you download the BIOS/driver updates to?
It just defaults into 'my documents', sits there and does nothing?
After downloading, How do I ensure my notepad 'takes' the updates?
As you can see, I'm not overly technical so any advice in simpletons terms please...
Thanks.

Hello
All drivers and tools for your notebook can be downloaded here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
At first I would try a WLAN driver update. If you have downloaded the WLAN driver, unzip all files and start the setup.exe file. This will automatically install the new driver and will be used now.

Windows Vista Tip - Updating Drivers, all you really need is a network or wifi driver

So just what do I mean by this? Often times, on Windows Update, Drivers are already available for your device, so why not just install a NIC or WiFi driver and let Windows Update take care of the rest of the dirty work? You have to update your computer anyway so why not.
Worth a try and much easier then searching left and right for those drivers.

Sometimes the WHQL-certified drivers are not nearly as good as updated non-WHQL drivers. (WHQL certification means very little IMO...) Windows Update only provides WHQL-certified drivers, and in my experience (especially with regards to laptop video) doesn't even find the latest WHQL revision.
I don't think I've ever received an up-to-date driver from Windows Update - it is in my experience consistently out of date by a significant period of time compared to getting the latest drivers from the device vendor.

I upgraded my 3 yr old iMac to Snow Leopard and now my HP C4150 Scanning function doesn't work (not recognized). I downloaded updated Drivers from the HP site, but still no joy. Any suggestions?

aspaceman,
Perhaps I owe you an apology. Having re-read that downloading from HP was unsuccessful I feel uncomfortable. Can I suggest you update your 10.6 system (as noted in your profile) to 10.6.8 (if it is not already there) by using the
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 combo update plus any software updates that then apply.

Boot Camp 2.1.drivers updated.no-auto.kbd.Mgr.app.exe

My problems have not been quite that severe, but my recent experience with Boot Camp 2.1 and SP3 has been pretty bad. First, my colors do not seem to be displaying properly, mostly with blues turning into red (i.e., links in Firefox). Then last night I got three blue screens while using MS office in XP(which also has color problems).
Remarkably, I do NOT have any of these problems in fusion, running off the same partition....
I read another thread which suggested upgrading the graphics drivers in XP, which I am going to try, but if you uninstall boot camp 2.1, won't you have problems with SP3? Aren't you supposed to install 2.1 before you do the SP3 upgrade?

HT204266 do I need to update drivers on my mac pro, or is this done through software updates

do I need to update drivers or is this done through software updates

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
For drivers for your hardware (printers, AirPort cards, GPUs...), they are done through Software Update, so open it and check if you have updates. If so, install them.
However, note that third-party peripherals (external drives, routers...) may not be updated through Software Update. In this case, you should contact with the manufacturer in order to get the latest drivers for these devices

Most updated drivers

Hi guys,
Some time I found a thread where, among other things, someone made a summary of the most updated drivers and the wifi one, for example, was way more reliable, etc. I would swear that thread was on this forum, but I don't seem to be able to find it. They also mentioned drivers from lenovo, etc.
Could you please point me where that post is?
Also, is anyone experiencing problems when using wifi, keyboard and mouse (both bluetooth) at the same time? Some times my keyboard goes crazy and stops typing and after a couple of seconds it types all the keys I pressed. Sometimes it goes even crazier and fot "stop" I woulkd get a "stttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttop" or similar.
Thanks!

Hi UnoDosTres, welcome to the HP Forums. I understand that you are looking for a link to a page you once found with miscellaneous drivers. Also you are getting a keyboard delay when typing.
I have no idea where this link you are looking would be, but I can possibly provide a link to your products driver page. To obtain this information, and keyboard troubleshooting steps, I need more information about your system.
What is the model or product number? What version of Windows is installed?

Need updated drivers for OJ Pro 8600 Plus Win 8.1 64 bit

My 8600 constantly loses it's connection to network and needs to be shut off and restarted to correct. I noticed my drivers are out of date, but when I try to download updated drivers, I am prompted for a password. My Forum password doesn't work, or the one I wrote down on origuibnal installation.

Hi,
Please download directly the following files (dated Aug-17-2014) and install to your computer, much faster this way and no need to enter password:

Updated drivers in Fusion/XP - now Boot Camp hangs

Background: I have Fusion 2.0.6 on my MacBook, with a Win XP SP3 VM on a Boot Camp partition. So I can either boot directly into XP and run it native via Boot Camp, or run it as a Fusion VM with Mac OS. Works like a champ. Until now, that is.
I'm still running Leopard, but I used the Snow Leopard DVD to install new Boot Camp drivers on my XP VM. That is, I mounted the DVD in XP and ran Boot Camp's setup.exe. I did this with the Fusion VM, not Boot Camp, which was probably a really bad idea. The good news is XP still runs fine under Fusion. But now if I boot straight to Windows, it hangs. No blue screen or error message, it just hangs. It doesn't respond to the mouse or keyboard at any point during boot-up, so I can't even coax it into safe mode. Any advice? Other than I'm hosed?

I have been repeatedly advised by Apple that future Boot Camp upgrades may not install properly if users have installed different drivers manually.
I had experienced this myself on my late 2007 MacBook Pro, and I had to roll back the drivers in order to upgrade Boot Camp.
Many issues have been reported about driver conflicts in Boot Camp on the unibody MacBook Pros, and Boot Camp is definitely due for an update. For these reasons, I have chosen not to manually update drivers on my unibody MacBook Pro.
I hope that this helps!
Good luck!

Satellite L350D-213 - Updating drivers on Windows 7

Bought Satellite L350D-213 mid Nov. Pre-loaded with Winodws 7. System auto detect on Tosh site shows that whole batch of new Windows7 drivers issued on 3/12/09. Was wondering whether I need to install all these drivers.
Up to now only prob has been webcam "locked by another application" which hours of web searching showed to be very common prob. Downloaded latest webcam driver issued on 3rd Dec. Cam ok at moment but only time will tell. Is it advisable to go through the whole list of applicable drivers or leave things as they are. Don't want to cause uneccessary probs.
Any advice welcome.

Hello
Its nice to read that your webcam works properly now and this would be also my suggestion to update the driver regarding this issue.
However, if your computer runs properly now I dont see any reason to update any drivers. Why you should do this?
I think drivers are only released to solve problems on other notebooks or compatibility issues so if you dont have problems you must update nothing. I can recommend never change a running system! ;)
So have fun with your notebook dont bother about updating drivers.

Where I can find documentation and updated drivers for Labview 3.1.1?

I'm running LabView 3.1.1 on a PowerMac 7600 and I have run into some difficulties geting it to work properly. The documentation has been lost and I cannot find it online anywhere. Any help with this and updated drivers would be greatly appreciated.

I have LV manuals going back to version 1. I still have a couple of systems operating in version 3 so I will not give up my manuals, but I may be able to help in some way. They are a set of eight books totalling about 6 inches thick. Is there something specific I may be able to help with?
A recent posting on this forum was from a museum of old computers and early LV systems. They were looking for stuff older than yours. I don't know if they could help or not.

Updated drivers - where are they

OK I have successfully installed Vista Home Premium on my Mac dual quad core, including installing the Windows drivers on the Leopard install disk that came with my Mac. The Boot Camp instructions state that we can check for updated drivers at www.apple.com/support/bootcamp.
Figuring that at least some of the drivers would have been updated recently I went to that page. Am I missing something simple or are there no updated Windows drivers to be found there? Where exactly are updated drivers for Apple hardware being run on Vista?

I "tried" to install Vista64 Ultimate on my new Penryn MCB but it said it wasn't supported and I couldn't I got 4GB Ram just so I could take advantage of Vista64..
I'm really getting annoyed about the driver update issues... I could understand it when boot camp was in "beta" but now that they are advertising it as this great feature, get with the program!

Updated Drivers / Proper OpenGL Support for T400/T500 Models with Switchable Graphics

Dear Lenovo, Dear interested users,
when will an updated switchable graphics driver for Windows Vista (and also Win7, they are both quite outdated) finally be available? The drivers are completely outdated!
With the current driver for Windows Vista (Version 8.563.2.1-090401a-079160C) only a fraction of OpenGL extensions are supported:
The internal Intel GMA 4500MHD can only Handle OpenGL 1.1 (instead of OpenGL 2.1 it is certified for). Therefore most applications needing OpenGL won't run.
The dedicated ATI Radeon 3470 only supports OpenGL 2.1 (instead of OpenGL 3.1 it is certified for).
You can verify this behavior with the utility "OpenGL Extensions Viewer".
I hope Lenovo didn't close the chapter switchable graphics for T400/T500 systems. It would be a shame for a company claiming to be a leader in business computing to deliver such poor driver-support.
In hopeful expectance of updated drivers,
Patrick

I'm having the same problems. Is anyone reading this?

This question was solved.
View Solution.

Open the Start Menu, click on All Programs and Accessories, right click on Command Prompt, and click on Run as administrator.
Type sfc/scannow
It may take a while while it tries to correct corrupt system files.
Download the driver from this site and try to install:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=cp-102440-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...
If no go try this driver:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=22166
If still no go, you will have to perform a Factory Restore, back up your data before proceeding.
Repeatedly tap the F11 key at boot to enter the recovery manager or use recovery disks hopefully you created when you got the computer.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.
