Vista 32-Bit SP2 install broke my network adapter drivers

I have a T61 model 765912G. I installed Vista SP2 from a fully up to date SP1 installation with everything working. It now has yellow warning triangles in Device Manager against: Intel (R) 82566MM Gigabit Network Connection and Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AG adapters. They now both show the following on the 'general' tab on their device properties:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.
I have uninstalled the device from device manager and rebooted, I have uninstalled the device from device manager and ticked 'remove drivers' and rebooted, I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the Lenovo website and I have also followed the link to the Vista solutions where I was directed to the Intel website from where I downloaded and installed the most current driver.
None of the above actions repaired this issue. I do have Cisco VPN client v5.0.00.0340 and VMWare Workstation v6 installed on my laptop both of which install virtual network devices, but both worked perfectly before the SP2 upgrade.
If anyone has seen this and knows what the, or if there is a, fix is (short of uninstaling SP2) please let me know....
I have a similar post on a Microsoft support forum and the best so far is that I go to IBM - really helpful.
My line manager has the same model laptop with the same OS and had exactly the same problem, he uninstalled SP2 and everything worked properly afterwards. I'd like to persevere for a little while and try to fix this error.
I am online now by virtue of the fact that I have inserted a 3COM PCMCIA card into the PC Card slot on my laptop. This suggests that the network subsytem is OK, and it is just the drivers that SP2 has broken.

Well, the Mac OS install disk includes all the drivers you need for all the hardware you have. You don't need to download anything separately.
You don't need to download Direct X. Direct X 10 comes with Vista.

OEM Vista 64 bit finally installed with bootcamp

As indicated in earlier posts, both Apple and Fusion techs told me to give up on installing OEM Vista 64 bit -- despite the fact that other posters have successfully installed OEM Vista 32 and 64 bit. My install process is set forth below; I have some other questions re: Vista, some related partition questions and a question re: Fusion and Vista.
Install of Vista:
1. Used Superduper to clone Mac OS X and apps on the raptor in bay one to the Hitachi 1T.
2. Removed raptor from bay one and booted up on 1 T on bay 2.
3. Used Boot Camp Assistant to create a boot camp partition on 1 T of about 119 Gb.
4. Inserted OEM System Builder Vista 64 bit.
5. After following the instructions, I got to the point where I couldn't get the install to work back in March -- i.e., after selecting boot camp partition, the "next" button would not highlight and let me move on with the installation. I got past this point by clicking on a button on the far right (same page where I selected the boot camp partition) and clicked on "driver options" or some such item. This opened up a selection of items including "format." I clicked on format and the installation proceeded.
6. I encountered another problem that took a couple of complete restarts and erasing of the the Hitachi 1 T and re-copying etc. with SuperDuper -- i.e., a black screen came up a couple of times and told me to hit any key (to reboot) -- big mistake. When I did this, the Vista installation disc started all over and tried to create another partition in addition to the boot camp one (but when I tried to proceed and select a partition -- boot camp did not show up. So Do Not Touch any key when the black screen comes up. The installation will proceed.
7. Last glitch -- when the installation appeared to be completed -- after several reboots -- the Vista installation screen showed up again. I learned from several other experiences not to start the installation over. Rather, I hit the delete button on the screen (X) and forced a reboot.
8. When it rebooted and sounded the restart, I held the option key down to get to the screen where I could open Mac OS X.
9. I noticed that there were two window options but ignored them and opened Mac OS X.
10. I hit the eject button and removed the Windows installation disc and went to preferences and start up and set Mac OS X as the start up op.
11. I then rebooted and held the option key down so that I could open windows. When I did Vista 64 bit opened (but not at the higher resolution).
12. I then inserted the Mac OS X disc (disc No. 1) and installed the drivers and other items from the install disc. Rebooted and higher resolution was there and keyboard worked properly.
13. I then updated Vista (took long time and reboots) and eventually installed Sp 1 for Vista. Downloaded Bonjour to get the Brother laser printer on the Network to work.
14. I also reinstalled the raptor and have been running the Mac OS X and apps off of the Raptor in bay 1.
Questions:
1. I can't seem to get the office Nortel contivity to work; it appears that there is some difficulty with Vista 64 bit. Any advice?
2. Should I remove the Mac OS X and apps from the Hitachi 1 T from bay 2? Would this removal affect Vista (probably not)?
3. If I remove Mac OS X from bay 2, I was thinking that I would repartition this part of the hard drive and create two partitions (for a total of 3 partitions counting the bootcamp with Vista). I would than make a Superduper copy of the Mac OS X and apps from bay one and just keep that periodically updated to have a current backup (I have the original 320 gb drive in a box with the original Mac OS X and apps as an additional backup). I would the other partition for storage. Comments?
4. I still have not been able to get Fusion installed on bay one. Does anyone know how to completely uninstall Fusion? The Fusion techs have been clueless and apparently don't have a very good understanding of their own product. They still think that you cannot install OEM Vista on a 2008 Mac Pro; they tell me to come back after I buy a full retail version -- good grief!
Should I try to install Fusion on bay 2 and try to access Vista from there?
This install procedure is probably obvious to some but this is my first Mac and it definitely was not obvious to me. In any event, hopefully this lengthy description will help others who have been having difficulty in installing OEM Vista 64 bit on a 2008 Mac Pro.
Thanks to all for your advice and especially Joseph Wiedermann.

Can you please post this in the windows vista 64 bit solution thread? Here is the link.

Best regards,

Just to be 100% clear, you install PSE 5 from the disk first, then after that is done, you apply the 5.0.2 patch.
Also, I wish you'd be orders of magnitude more specific ... what do you mean by "I get to the selection page"? Exactly what do you see. Describe it in great detail. Screen shot would be nice. After you see this, exactly what do you do? Exactly? In great detail
Have you tried Terri's idea of copying everything to a folder on your hard disk?
Have you tried installing this software from the disk on a different computer?

Windows 7 network adapter drivers - bootcamp

I have bootcamped my Mac and after finishing installing Windows 7 there is no internet access and my driver for network adapter is missing... How can i solve this?

I had the same thing as you (that my BT mouse & keyboard were working but then after a while they started to act up -mouse freezing on&off, keys sticking-).
In my case the 'before' and 'after' was actually running the setup on the Bootcamp Utility disk that contains all the Bootcamp drivers. There must be a rogue driver on there that messed up my system. I ended up doing a reinstall and only installing the bluetooth drivers (that are also on the same Utlity disk, but in the $WinPEDriver$ folder. This at least worked for me.
However, by doing so I did not get the handy Bootcamp utility in the lower left corner of Windows that allows me to conveniently reboot and switch from Win8 to MacOS. I am trying to figure out if I can install that utility separately without all the drivers being automatically installed as well

Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter Drivers

Hi, I believe the drivers for my network adapter could be out of date and I am unable to find anywhere to download the drivers, would anyone be able to direct me to where I can download drivers for the Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter found in my Alienware 18 laptop, it would be greatly appreciated.
Current Driver;
Network Adapter : Broadcom 802.11ac Network Adapter
Driver Version : 6.30.95.48
Driver Date : 05/03/2013
Thanks, Depo.

Add me to the list of people with issues with the Broadcom 802.11ac... I have two identical Alienware 17s, one suffers from constant Wireless Adapter resets. very aggravating anywhere from 3 to 10 minutes I am discoed and then moments later reconnected.
Additionally, I have seen the major frame stutters, but I just associated that to the WLAN resetting or getting ready to.
I have tried updating Drivers, I uninstalled the drivers and reinstalled them, I have disabled and enabled the device, I have spent at least four hours on the Dell Troubleshooting pages looking for a resolution, so far nothing has resolved the issue.
I'm at the point I'm thinking it is the Broadcom 802.11ac Adapter
The second Alienware 17 has worked without a single issue.
I could use a little help on this one.

Vista x64 SP2 Install Broke My Volume Panel

Hi,
As subject says.
I installed Vista x64 SP2 yesterday and now my microphone wont work because?in the control panel it says Microphone FP not connected.
This is obvious I dont have a front panel!
I used to change this in the Volume Panel and all would be well except now I have installed SP2 it wont let me load the volume panel.
It shows up in my task bar next to the clock and I can right click on it. It says Creative SB X-FI and I can select the Enable?DTS etc etc so the driver is installed ok but when I double click it to get the volume panel on screen nothing happens.
It doesnt even come up with an error.
I have tried uninstalling everything and reinstalling = nothing.
Then done an auto update, still nothing.
I hope someone can help, its really annoying not being able to talk to anyone over TS.
My specs are
Asus P5KE
Core 2 Quad Q6600
GeForce GTX260
4 x gb 066mhz memory
2 x WD Raptors RAID0
Soundblaster X-FI Titanium Fatalty PCI-E
Logitech Z5500 Digital Surround Sound
Vista x64 Ultimate
Thanks in advance

Excellent all fixed.
Not as easy as we thought though.
First had to uninstall everything via add remove programs.
Then deleted everything I could find that related to Creative.
I found stuff in Program Files / Program Data & Program Files (x86)
Unfortunately I couldnt delete it all because it was in use, so had to reboot in safe mode and delete it all from there.
Then installed the package you suggested and indeed Volume Panel and everything else works again.
Thank You

Boot Camp Network Adapter drivers

I wonder if anyone can assist in this?
I have installed Windows 7 on Boot Camp, I have booted it, and the thing wont connect to anyhting. THe troubleshooting mentions the lack of network adapters. How do I get these? I have tried the dvd I burned whilst setting up Boot Camp, with no result.

Windows 7 network adapter drivers for hp 2000 2b-19wm, help ditching Linux....

need drivers for windows 7. the links for older posts went bad yesterday, due to a change in support website. cant get online for updates. fresh install of 7 from new software dvd, legal coa. heres the deal, friend of mine wanted me to try out Linux. So he installed KUBUNTU. I found out that support was not offered for linux based PCs for the software I want to run. the hardware manufacturer insists on windows or mac and will not support linux, ever... so I found a copy of 7, all legal, and want to roll back to windows. it had 8 on it when i bought the notebook used, and has the official windows 8 hologram sticker on the bottom, no coa.its an AMD platform, 4gb ram, 300 GB hddwant to run Presonus Artist 2 software, using a Presonus Audiobox 2x2 USB interface.

10GE Multithreaded Network Adapter drivers missing?

The Sun Multithreaded 10GbE Networking Card does not have drivers available on Sun's site for either Solaris or Linux.
The user manual is here:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/10gigethernet/support.xml
or
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/html/820-0184-10/
Chapter 2 has a URL for the Linux drivers:
http://www.sun.com/download/products.xml?id=44eb1efd
The Solaris drivers are supposed to be here:
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/index.html
Neither link has the drivers specified. Does anyone know where to get the driver packages for this card?

Wed 9-May-07 20:15 EDT (USA)
Your drivers link worked.
http://www.sun.com/products/networking/ethernet/index.html
The process was convoluted, but I ended up where I needed to be.
I clicked on the product name,
worked my way through the "Support" tab to get to the product documentation,
http://www.sun.com/products-n-solutions/hardware/docs/Network_Connectivity/x8_exp_dl_10gige_fbr_xfp_lprfl/index.html
selected the Release Notes, and found a direct link to ...
http://www.sun.com/download
Then I got to a general page of product choices and selected Networking/Network Connectivity
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?cat=Networking&tab=3&subcat=Network%20Connectivity
Aahhh ... Finally where we needed to be.
When prompted, I used my login account for the Sun download site.
I accepted the license agreement.
I then downloaded the single 7.7MB zipfile that has drivers for
Solaris SPARC, Solaris x86, RHEL, and SUSE Linux drivers in it.
The same drivers are for that card and for the QGE Ethernet adapter.
I didn't experience any frustrations with the download, once I got to where I needed to be.
Next time, try the A-to-Z product list first.
http://www.sun.com/download/index.jsp?tab=2
I have it as a saved bookmark in my browser.
It's often a quicker search.

Laserjet 1012 on network with Vista 64 bit laptop

I am currently trying to connect to a Laserjet 1012 that is set up on our home network with a laptop running 64 bit Vista. I have tried to just rght click and drag the printer from the networked computer it is directly connected to and then try the install option. This brings up a dialog box stating that it cannot find the correct inf file or drivers to install the printer. I have tried downloading and extracting the Vista 64 bit drivers from the HP support site but I can not find the inf files needed to complete the install. Had been running an XP laptop with the printer installed the same way and am currently using another laptop with 32 bit version of Vista that was installed the same way with no problems. I have tried several different things to get this printer installed but still can't get it up and running.
Any help will be appreciated.

See if these help:

ITunes Not Responding with Vista 64-bit Running on Dell Studio 15

Hi!
I am running Vista 64-bit SP2 and downloaded the newest 64-bit version of iTunes. My music is located on an external network drive. Every time I open iTunes it starts to load the music and then just sits there and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.
I had the same setup only using XP on my old laptop and iTunes ran fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing a problem? I started with a brand new laptop with Vista SP1 and had the same error. So I just upgraded to Vista SP2 thinking that might help but it had no effect.
Thank you for any suggestions, I don't know what else to try...

Have you had look at this page, it may be of some help: iTunes for Windows Vista: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch failures

Is Creative Alchemy Supported on Vista 64 bit? Attention Creative Mod p

Ok I'm confused.
I've had a creative X-Fi Fatalty card for a couple of years that came with a Mesh pc I bought.
So I buy all the kit for a new pc and think I can just move the card across. I install Vista 64, install service pack and all is peachy apart form my Razer mouse that needs a new driver.
I install a load of old games and they work fine. Some fine tuning for allowing games to run as admin, but considering my new pc is so much faster, and the greater security (i've been told, and call me sad?but i believe it) I'm thinking its worth it.
Wow I think, this vista malaky's great!
Pop in my creative?soundcard?download the drivers and think here we go.
So I install Half life 2. A fairly old game. And it all starts going wrong. I load up the first level and I suddenly only have 2.0 sound.
open up the console and notice all kinda errors (on screen node graph out of date, A. I.disabled, and a load more in the console when i look).
Are they caused by Vista or Creative? I dunno, i didn't load half life prior to installing the card so it could be either to be fair.
So I read up more to try to work it out and I come across a funny thing. If in Creatives download manger pages you tell it you have a creative Fatalty soundcard,and you have a vista 64bit operating system then there are no downloads.
But if you put in Vista 32 bit then you get offered the Alchamey drivers. Which state that they are for 32 and 64 bit versions of Vista.
Now i've been looking at these forums for the last 2 days and I'm begining to feel a little worried. I'm not a sound Guru and I don't understand alot of whats been discussed. I don't feel i'm in a place to pass judgemnt on Creative cos the only contact I've had with their support staff was with a Zen Micro that was out of warrenty and they fixed that for free. Didn't even charge me P&P to send it back!
So I'm really not sure where I stand. I'm about to download the alchemy software that may/may not work with vista 64 by admission of their own website, and can't help but feel that support isn't quite what I was hoping for, and used to. Is the MP3 part of Creative effectivly a seperate company or something?
Now I don't want to start yet another bash creative post.
What I'd really like is a comment from Creative as to why their driver page does/doesn't offer you the right downloads and a solution to my problem.
Call me selfish but I kinda dcame to the Creative Help forums for some, well, Help.
I'd really appreciate if all the pro and anti forum trolls could stay off this topic and give creative a chance to show they can do good support.

JohnZS, thanx very much for the prompt response. I really do appreciate it.
But let me get this straight.
I've had to download a software package from a page I shouldn't have been at.
I have to add values to a software package that I have to rely on good natured people on a forum to supply.
And no offence, but even then I don't have the whole answer. I have to search manually for the registry or game path for the ?.exe? I assume (I'm doing this whilst tring to solve my prob, so I could well be wrong about this) tomake the **bleep** think work.
And this thing is Vista stickered?
Ok still going with the no bandwagon jumping plse people, I'm just an honest guy with no agenda apart from blowing **bleep** up on my poota as a stress release, so I'd like to see from Creative where I'm going wrong here.
Oh I seriously forgot the no swearing policy, and on forums like this I do agree with it, its just its late, i'm a bit annoyed, and to be frank, slightly drunk.

Setting up iTunes on Windows Vista 64-bit

Make this a sticky please, I dont want to type it twice
In the 64-bit versions of Windows there are two locations for programs to be stored by default.
Program Files - All the 64-bit applications that can run with out any assistance from the 32-bit emulator.
Program Files (x86) - All the 32-bit applications that need the 32-bit emulator to help then run under the 64-bit versions Windows.
Problem
When installing the latest version of iTunes (7.3.1.3) on Windows Vista 64-bit the install of the QuickTime software completes successfully, however when the iTunes software tries to install the application it produces an error message saying that it cannot find the QuickTime installation.
This is happening because QuickTime software is getting installed in the Program Files (x86) since it is not a 64-bit application. And the iTunes application specifically looks for it in the Program Files directory. I don’t know why the Apple iTunes programmers thought hard coding a path was a good idea, because they definitely could have looked up the install directory in the Windows Registry. As every programmer knows and has been slapped on the wrist by a more experienced programmer you should never hard code possible variations to your program. Especially if it is a hard drive path, because a non-standard install of QuickTime would lead to the same problem.
Solution
Basically the solution is very easy and involves a new feature in Windows Vista called a symbolic link.
1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2) Create a QuickTime folder in both Program Files (x86)
mkdir "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
3) Now we create a symbolic link to the Program Files directory
mklink /d "c:\Program Files\QuickTime" "c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime"
4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program.

If that didnt work try this below:
1) Open up the Command Prompt as an Administrator (Go to All Programs > Accessories and Right Click on Command Prompt and then choose Run as administrator)
2) Type cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64
3) Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll (This registers VB Script with your computer.)
4) Now install iTunes as you normally would by double clicking on the install program and wait for iTunes to finish installing.
5) Type regsvr32 \u vbscript.dll (This unregisters VB Script with your computer.)
THIS ONE COMES WITH A WARNING
TRY BOTH OF THESE AT YOUR OWN RISK
AND some thing below to consider about this second step, not the first post
To enabled, VB Script a scripting language that has been responsible for more trojan and worms floating around the internet than any other on the face of this earth. All in order to install one of the earths most popular programs to get our daily audio fix. So we have to disable security measures built in to protect the operating system from malicious code and leave our selves wide open.This would be the equivalent to Microsoft telling Mac People to disable buffer overflow protection in order to install Microsoft Office for the Mac.
