Win 7 X-Fi install cd?

Are there any plans to make available a new install cd for order with Windows 7 drivers? Not a big fan of jumping through hoops to piecemeal update all the apps to get compatable win 7 stuff.

You dont have piece-meal anything. Daniel K. has done the work for you.

Make sure your card is in the list. Be positi've. Then run the setup. This will work in XP, Vista or Windows 7. Then install the newest drivers avaiilable from Creative specific to your model. Sometimes I update the Console Launcher. What I did also, was burn Daniel's downloaded files to a disc and put the updates in a folder. Works great and doesnt take long at all.

How to remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp

I want to completely remove win 8 and install win 7 in bootcamp. I followed the steps in bootcamp assistant and it appears to remove the win 8 partition. However when starting a new win 7 bootcamp partition and installation setup still thinks win 8 is being used. how do I get it to recognize the win 7 now being installed from the usb drive? This is on an iMac 27 late 2012 with OS x 10.10.1

Hi Janesdf,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are looking for Windows downgrade on your Ideapad N580.
Before doing any changes in the system HDD partition or with Windows OS, I suggest you to create the system recovery media and then you can downgrade the OS. But you require Windows 7 recovery media.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) - No Sound Following Win 7 Clean Install

Hello, A European friend really struggling and looking for help.
I have just clean installed Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) which was purchased in November 2006. It was previously running XP and I never installed Vista though the laptop is badged Vista Capable) I followed the Win 7 bios/driver/software install order but I now have no sound at all. Everything that I have tried so far has failed to fix it.
The laptop has a Conexant based audio solution with harman kardon speakers. Win 7 has installed the following driver which reports the following info.
High Definition Audio Device (Microsoft Driver version 6.1.7601.17514 dated 11/19/2010) and Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Hardware IDs:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31&REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
There is a second exclamation mark in Device Manager for a further unknown device / uninstalled driver (showing code 28) for a device with a Hardware ID of ACPI\SMCB000 but I do not know what this device is!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for my sound issue?
Thanks!
Martyn

Any one have any thoughts on this issue?
I have failed to locate a working / compatible Windows 7 x64 driver for Conexant HD Audio!
Perhaps there isn't one?
Perhaps I need to try harder?!?
Perhaps the on board sound solution featuring Conexant HD Audio is simply ****** as on www.conexant.com they say manufacturers have TOLD them NOT to make drivers available (... to poor unfortunate users)!!!
I think that manufacturers need to step up to the plate and support / help their customers. I own 4 Satellite Pro laptops running Vista x32 and Windows 7 x64. This one cost me well over £1,200 so I don't want to hear or conclude that it is simply scrap! That would represent truly poor value for money - the kind of business case that would undermine my belief that Toshiba laptops are the best in the business.
Ditto Microsoft - the Windows 7 x64 Upgrade Advisor tool gave me the all clear to upgrade this system. All generally appears fine EXCEPT the lack of sound.
Having now been exposed to the experience of many other laptop owners set out in various forums etc, covering both Toshiba laptops and some other major brands, I have to conclude that the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is flawed and that a successful upgrade is somewhat hit and miss affair. Beware!
That said, still hopeful that someone out there will be able to help me fix this issue?
Regards
Martyn
P.S. I can be reached by any Toshiba or Microsoft technical support guru looking to make a difference and help me out.

Trying to get Win 7 64 installed, not working

I am trying to get Win 7 64 installed. I have my dvd (downloaded a authorized version from Microsoft partners group, legal copy, we use it for other installs all the time). I imaged it to a dvd, should be all set.
Both Mac and Win side see the DVD. I go to my bootcamp utility, and go through that process. I am setting it up on my solid state drive that I just put into my CD slot. The DVD drive is now in an external housing hooked up VIA USB.
I then tell it to continue to format my new HD, and start the instal. It restarts, my DVD drive spins up and starts running. Then a gray screen comes up with the Apple in the middle. It then flashes, every now and then.
Can any of you give me some ideas? I have spent hours on this so far.
Thanks,
John

If you use Apple Disk Utility to burn the ISO, it won't work properly unless burned at reduced slowest speed 2x. Common and what I would consider "well known" but not documented, not put in the PDF guide in writing.
Sometimes it even boots and installs but bad install and fails. So in a way you were lucky it wouldn't start.

Creating a partition after Win server 20i12r2 install

Hi I wish to allocate a separate partition for my my win server 2012r2 (hp proliant gen 6 server.) The win 2012r2 was installed in a hurry without partitioning the HD raid4 … The ADS and home directories of users are in place and I wish to transfer the user
data (home folders) to the New Partition. How do I go about without doing a fresh install. pl help

Hi Journville,
Do you mean you have install a server 2012R2 but used up all your current disk and you want to migrate the current user profile data to another partition? It is not support
scenario.
User Profile folder relocation
Folder Redirection is partially supported by OS:
Correct functionality of redirected folder is delegated to third party applications and could generate problem after OS installation
The Directory Database can be moved to others partition, you can refer the following related KB:

Hi Michel,

Win 7 clean install

Hello, sorry if this has been brought up a lot before - how do I do a Win 7 clean install with HDD format with OEM OS? My idea was to create a deployable USB, but I soon found that MS will not really let me download an image of an OEM OS, and will have me turn to the OEM provider for this end. I briefly went through Acer tech support but found no way of obtaining (online) the image. Is there some way I missed, or is there different (simpler) procedure for a clean install? Thank you.

@ terenz: I would be fine with making my own installation media, but the (original OEM) Win7 installation will not allow me to create them; only the "recovery" disc which is not enough to make a clean install. So I went to Microsoft site to download ISO image for my Windows copy and it (obviously) refused to hand it to me, directing me to my OEM SW provider (Acer in this case) instead. I am kind of stuck from here on. @ ACE IronFly: Thanks, will give it a shot when I have a chance. Just to be clear - is there a chance erecovery will work after a HDD format?

Office 2013 Startup Problem with NEW Win 8.1 Install and no prior Office Version

Although I have seen similar threads on the forum, they all seem to address a different scenario.
My environment is as follows:
Intel MotherBoard with I07 max processor
64GB RAM
512 GB SSD Boot drive on which Windows 8.1 was installed as first and only O/S. It was validated
4TB HDD on which User directory and programs installed (those which permit drive selection in startup)
4TB data drive.
Machine was built from scratch with Win 8.1 Pro plus Media Center
Office 2013 Pro Plus was installed and validated
Machine is running in an MS AD Domain whose PDC is running on Win Server 2008 R2
User is a member of Enterpise and Domain Admin group
HERE'S THE PROBLEM,
Any Office 2013 Pro Plus application (Not Just Oulook) goes through the configuration step EACH time it is launched.

Hi,
Try repairing Office in Control Panel -> Programs and Features, check the result.
You can also try this:
Go to the install folder, such as C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\office15, find the .exe file for the application, let's take Word for example, WINWORD.EXE, right click on it, send the shortcut to Desktop, right click the
shortcut -> Properties -> Shortcut -> Advanced -> Check "Run as administrator" -> OK -> OK.
Start Word from the shortcut, you may need to go through the process again, reboot the computer, check if it will show up again when you start Word. If the problem doesn't exist any more, do the same to other Office applications.

Error of "Not a Valid Win 32 application " installing 7.0 for iPod Shuffle

I have downloaded the apple Itunes 7 software and I get an error of : Not a Valid Win 32 application I have windows xp I have been trying to figure this out for a couple of hours.
All I can figure out is that it is because I have dial up and not a broadband connection (which is one of the requirements for 7.0). If this is the problem, what do I do to get around the not having broadband?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! I would love my new present to work! PS. a family member already has an Ipod Nano installed, can we use the same iTunes?

Print Spooler does not work after Win 8.1 install

I upgraded several computers to Win 8.1. Most are operating normally and do not have this problem. This is relevant to show that it is not a printer hardware or compatibility problem. On one computer, the print function is not working.
I've tried reinstalling printers, getting new drivers, etc. It comes down to this. An active (connected) printer is selected and print test page is selected. The dialog box says that the print queue is full. I went to the queue subdirectory
and deleted all files, no change to the results. The Print spooler is active in task manager. Stopping and restarting the print spooler makes no difference. Any ideas?

I had similar problems with HP Printers on the LAN (after upgrade from Windows 8 tot 8.1
32bit)
HP Laserjet 4000 Laserjet 4050 and Laserjet 4250 - all with Network interface.
Erratic behaviour: inserting blank pages, no duplex printing, programs stalling when printing etc…
Printers and network are fully functional and work perfectly with W7 and XP. Not with Windows 8.1.
Strange thing: Epson Aculaser and Ricoh Aficio 3224 worked fine but those were installed after the Windows update.
So definitely something with the Microsoft drivers for the HP Laserjet printers.
After a few installs and uninstalls of the HP printer drivers the problems stayed.
Then I removed all HP related driver files (C:\\Windows\\system32\\spool\\PRINTERS")
and all references in the Register because the standard uninstall of the drivers did not remove all files.
-> First uninstall ALL HP printers (laserjet, deskjet, officejet etc ..)
-> Then look in
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Monitors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Drivers]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Environments\Windows NT x86\Print Processors]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Print\Printers]
Make a backup of the registry keys and then remove all files starting with hp….
Remove the print processors starting with hp
(i.e. hpzpplhn.exe)
Then restart your system.
Reinstall the printers, they should be OK now.
If you still have duplex printing problems : replace the hpzpplhm print processor with the winprint processor. (may give other limitations, google for more info).
In my case this solved the erratic printing problems.

Black screen after clean Win 8.1 install

I did a clean install from 10.9 Bootcamp utility and Win 8.1 Home full ISO.
Installation is successful but after first reboot I got display drivers issue (black screen and system running on).
I tried both ways and got the same issue:
- with Bootcamp drivers
- without Bootcamp drivers install
Thanks to help me to do not let me switch....

Hi
Only an Toshiba Blu-ray Player update from Win 8 to Win 8.1 can be downloaded.
The full version is not available for download.
This means that if you want to use the Toshiba Blu-ray Player, you have to go back to notebooks factory settings (including the Win 8 system). Then you should perform an update to Win 8.1. After that you could download the Toshiba Blu-ray Player- update (Win 8.1) package from Toshiba EU driver page.
If you dont want to perform this procedure, you could try an freeware software like VLC player.

SD card reader doesn't work on Satellite C850-1CN after Win 8.1 install

Hi,
Since I installed Windows 8.1 on my computer Satellite C850-1CN ref. : PSKCAE my SD port does not work
I would like to know if there is a driver I need to download because I searched the site for a pilot port but in vain ...
Sorry for my English I speak French and I hope I'm in the right forum

Hi
You have to download and install the card reader controller driver for Win 8.1 system
This driver should be the right one:

I deactivated my CS5, reformatted HD and installed Win 8.1, installed CS5 again, but now it will not update it.

I have made sure they are all running as Admin. I even changed compatibility mode to Win 7 on Photoshop and Dreamweaver which is what I was running before with no issues, Customer Support cannot help. Help?
These are the error codes:

Thinkpad T43p (2668-G4G) Network Controller and Biometric Coprocessor issues on Win XP Pro install

Hi all,
I am new the the forum but I guess its time time to recognise my defeat and send out a distress signal: Mayday Mayday Mayday...
INTRO
My original HDD (Hitachi 7,200 rpm IDE) crashed a few days ago so I repaced it with a WD 160GB drive (5,400 rpm). I always get a firmware message on start up and I could only partition 130GB (not the full 160GB). This I have read from various forums is a common problem with the Thinkpads and that it wont really affect the performance of my T43p... any comments?
THE REAL PROBLEM
I then restored the laptop with Win XP Pro and SP2+SP3 and all relevant updates (I have done this on numerous times and once before with this T43p without problems) and then setup all the Lenovo Drivers I could find pertaining to this model [2668-G4G]. I've got everything up and running EXCEPT the Wifi. I've tried everything but just cant get it to work. I used System Update, I tried downloading and installing in different order, I've removed the Access Connections etc. etc. None of the Drivers on the Lenovo website seem to work for me. I even tried using older versions of the Drivers, which I compiled on a CD last time I restored my T43p but even that doesn't work. When I check the Device Manager there are always two yellow alert signes referring to Biometric Coprocessor and Network Controller.
Has anybody had these problems before and managed to resolve them?
The HDD issue is not as crucial I guess but if anybody has a solution to that I'd be greatful.
