Win XP does not detect onboard ethernet card

Hi,
i have bought a used T41 (2373-tg5) and installed XP Pro SP3.
I have installed all the drivers and everything is working fine. The only problem i have, is the fact, that XP does not detect my onboard 10/100/1000 Ethernet LAN card. It does not show up in the device manager and manually searching for new hardware is to no use.
I have also looked at the BIOS config, the onboard ethernet card is listed as being "enabled". I am sure, there was a device marked with a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager named "ethernet adapter" once. I am not sure, wether this was the WLAN card, i have successfully installed a driver for...it is completely gone now though...
Is this some weird XP thing? I thought, i had read something like this once, but cannot remember.

cnhoff, wilkommen im Forum,
when you enter BIOS the MAC address of the internal LAN card should be shown at the bottom, is it showing a number or is it all zeros? All zeros means that there is no LAN installed which would mean in your case a new mainboard or using a pcmcia LAN card.

880GMA-E35 does not detect PCI ethernet adapter

Mainboard 880GMA-E35 does not detect PCI ethernet adapter RealTek RTL8139D.
What is the reason?
I did tests with the operating systems Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit
my Computer:
MSI 880GMA-E35
AMD Athlon II X2 240, 2800 MHz
2 X 4GB Kingston module memory 1066 MHz
XFX Radeon HD 4670

In your manual (page 27) it shows 'Auto Disable DRAM/PCI Frequency.. 'Enabled' turns 'off' clocks in the PCI slot.
Just wondering in an attempt to help.
Good Luck

HP DV5t 5-in-1 card reader does not detect my SD card

The 5-in-1 card reader slot of my HP dv5t was working fine until yesterday, and reading my Canon SD card perfectly. However, today upon inserting the card, the card reader is not detecting the SD card. The card doesn't even show up in my device manager. My SD card has no issues since it works perfectly fine on other laptops (I even tried it on another dv5t and it worked). My guess is that there is something wrong with the hardware, since the card doesn't get recognized by the reader even when I use it on Ubuntu. Can anyone please suggest any solution?
I tried contacting hp customer care and after an excrutiating wait of 1 hour or so I had to hang up - out of boredom. My laptop is under warranty but I am really pissed off with hp, I think hp laptops have some of the worst hardware. Also, it takes ages until you can speak to a customer care executive. Can someone please help me? If hp were to give me 70-80% of my money back I would happily swap hp for a T61 or even a Dell!

I'm having the same exact problem on my dv5z. I even tried downloading and reinstalling the drivers, but it appears to be a hardware issue. I had a similar problem with my wireless card early on and I think it may be a build quality problem. Any suggestions other than dealing with sending the unit in for repair?

Windows does not detect my sound card

Hello, I have a thinkcentre m58p dt. I had to reinstall windows(same version which was already installed before) but since I did it integratedsound behaves a strange way. Windows detects it and it appears in the device windows menu. I can use headphones but I can’t use the speaker like I used to do. Windows says the device is not connected.

Spinedoc,
This problem may be caused by the USB ports on your system not providing the required amount of power at device start. There are a few ways to get around this problem:
) Make sure that you have all of your motherboard, chipset, and USB updates available for your system installed.
2) Go into Device Manager/Uni'versal Serial Bus Controllers and double click on one of your USB root hubs (or USB 2.0 root hub). Go to the power management tab and take the checkmark out of the top option that says to allow Windows to disable power to the device. Repeat this for all the root hubs.
3) If none of the others work, then you will want to try the card on another system, or with a powered USB hub to ensure that there is no problem with the sound device itself. If it works on another system then you will want to try it with a powered USB hub on the system in question.

When I upgrade to IOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 3GS will not let me activate it and does not detect the SIM card I can do?, when I upgrade to IOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 3GS will not let me activate it and does not detect the SIM card I can do?

Please help

If it was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it before you upgraded, it is most likely bricked now.

Photoshop CS5 64-bit does not detect Video Card

I just updated from CS4 to CS5. I have a core i7 with an ATI HD 5700 series graphics card with the most recent driver 10.9. Photoshop is also updated to 12.0.1. For some reason, only the 64-bit version does not detect the graphics card. Photoshop CS4 64-bit and Photoshop CS5 32-bit see the graphics card fine. I noticed a few others have had the same issues. Has this problem been addressed yet? If not, is there a workaround?

It's a recently-reported issue with Catalyst 10.9 on the Radeon 57xx.

Lumia 625 does not detect MicroSD cards, please he...

My Lumia 625 does not detect MicroSD cards when inserted.
I have tried powering off/on.
I have tried formating them in my PC.
I have updated my phone to 3050.0000.1334.0007
I have tried a Kingston 64GB SDXC Class10
I have tried a Sandisk Ultra 64GB SDXC Class10
I have tried formatting the cards in various ways including exFAT / FAT32 / FAT64 etc.
The only progress i made was when i tried formatting in NTSC and after inserting the card i recieved a message saying "incomattable formatted card inserted, do you whish to format the card in a compattable format?" After choosing yes, the phone formatted the card and then the card was undetected...
This was confirmed by checking the card in my PC, which confirmed that the card had been formatted using exFAT, which i believe is the correct format for the phone/card.
Clearly the phone is somehow detecting and writing to the card and the card is functioning properly, except that the phone does not detect that the card exists as expanded memory and will not allow me to use it.
Any help with this would be really appreciated!
Becoming quite frustrated now...

In case someone else has the same problem, there's actually a package in the AUR that fixes the problem : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ricoh-e823-fix/
Install it and enables it with systemd and it should work correctly!

Tecra Z50-A-11V: New SSD but Win 8.1 does not detect it

We bought a Crucial M550 256GB disk and want to replace in a Toshiba Tecra Z50-Av1
We do not want to make any transfer of data or cloned.
We want to do a clean install with Windows 8.1
The BIOS recognizes the SSD
But when you install Windows 8.1 does not detect any disk connected to the unit and requested additional drivers. Windows not detect drive

But always the drive CRUCIAL is not reconized by the boot instalation of windows
The problem is similar with ubunto, kubuntu, .... the drive is detected with the BIOS but not for the OS.
any help?
Thanks

Hi
Did you solve this issue?
Could you install the Windows 8.1 system on this SSD drive?
I think the additional driver installation while setup procedure isnt necessary since Win 8.1 should already contain the essential drivers.
From my point of few there could be an compatibility issue (maybe SSD firmware update would solve this).
How about the usage of other SSD drives? Do you have the same problem using other SSD drives from other manufactures?
Feedback would be appreciated.

Can't install Win 8 - Satellite Pro C660 does not detect HDD

Hello,
My HDD has died, so i decided to upgrade my Satellite Pro C660-1D9 to an SSD.
I made a bootable USB with Win8, and booted just fine.
The problem is that it does not detect my SSD so i can proceed with the install.
SSD shows up in BIOS, but not in Windows install.
It says there's a driver missing.
I downloaded AHCI drivers (XP, only ones available) and even then, after selecting the only driver that appears, it says no new devices found.
I tried changing SATA mode from AHCI to Compatibility mode and it's the same..
What can i do?
Thanks for the help.
Best regards,
Bruno Moreira

Older Windows XP required an AHCI driver from Intel but I think this isnt a missing SATA driver issue because as far as I know Windows 8 as well as Win 8.1 already contains the drivers in order to recognize the HDD or SSD drive.
Furthermore the OS installation should be possible even if the driver would not be added... for this procedure you have to use the "compatibility mode".
As you said, the compatibility mode did not work too, so I think there is another problem.
However, Toshiba driver page provides also an Intel RST (Intel Rapid Storage Technology) driver (Windows 8 - Upgrade) which you could try to add while OS installation.
But Im wondering if you would be able to install this Win 8 on common SATA HDD.
Did you try to format the SSD drive using another computer and then to install Win 8?
Try it out.

Aperture does not detect CF Card

I am using Aperture 2 with my Canon EOS 30D. I used 2GB Sandisk CF cards and have had no issues ever. Recently I bought a 4GB and 16GB CF card and for some reason Aperture/Mac does not detect these cards. When I connect my camera via USB to my macbook, and click import, it does not show my Canon as a drive available to choose pics from. With my 2GB card it does.
Any ideas?

Does the card show up in the Finder? I suspect this isn't an Aperture issue.

I just updated my 3GS from iOS 5.0.0 to 5.0.1
Since the update, Itunes says that no SIM card is detected, and the iPhone says that it cannot be activated. It also obviously does not detect any network.
I tried restarting the phone several times, removing the SIM card several times, but it did not change anything, the SIM is still not detected.

Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all

Hey guys,
Got too excited and went out and bought Windows 7 Ultimate x64 - fantastic. Problem is, I have no sound - my Asus Rampage Formula motherboard has no onboard sound as it comes with a seperate sound card which won't work and neither will the cheapy Audigy standard one I bought today to try...
7 automatically installs some drivers when it detects I have a sound card installed and sticks it in the Device Manager under 'System Devices' and calls it a 'High Definition Audio Controller'
Now I found the new Win 7 drivers on here and downloaded in the hope of installing and overwriting this 'Hi Def Audio Controller' but when i'm in setup I get the error message "Setup is unable to detect a supported product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running this Setup Program. Setup will exit" which is completely baffling me as Win7 can detect and install this 'audio controller' - when I hover over the volume icon in the taskbar (which incidentally has a red cross over it) it says 'No audio output is installed"
I'm probably going wrong somewhere, but I don't know if its Win7 or these "Windows 7" drivers don't actually work?
Please can anyone help?!!

Re: Windows 7 does not like my Audigy Card at all^ Perhaps you can try this:
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960"]http://support.creative.com/downloads/download.aspx?nDownloadId=0960[/url]
Yes I know that that is a standard driver from Creative. But try to download the driver. Then right click it, and extract it. You can extract it like this if you have WINRAR, WINACE, or WINZIP on your system. Even the free 7-zip will work great.
Then go to device manager, and then to your unknown device, and then update driver, and then choose "have disk....." and browse to the folder where you unzipped the driver. Then install the driver, allowing it to copy the files over to your system. Reboot. Sound may still not be working at this point. Then try windows update or the Daniel K. pack again. Using this method may seem weird but I am trying to "trick" your system into picking up your Audigy.
This worked for me before with my x-fi Titanim and my Extreme gamer when I switched to Vista 64.

AirPort does not detect networks, unless another network connection is made

I've just done a clean install of OS 10.5 to see if this problem was software related, but it persists.
AirPort does not detect any network the computer is near (tested in various locations) normally, but when connecting to a network via Ethernet or to another Mac via Firewire to use network sharing, it can update and load web pages as normal. A strange quirk I've noticed though, whenever connecting with ethernet or firewire, AirPort will suddenly detect the network! It still can't quite connect to WiFi properly though. While still connected through firewire or ethernet, it will have no connectivity through a self-assigned IP. If it is disconnected from ethernet and firewire again, the wireless network will still show up in a re-scan for networks but it will fail to connect.
I've opened the computer up to ensure that the airport extreme card is seated properly as well, and that the antenna cable is secured properly.
Any ideas as to what the issue is? Should I look into replacing the AirPort Extreme card?

Got no answer on my original post, so I went ahead with ordering a replacement AirPort card on eBay (item #130487488014). Once installed, the iMac was able to detect and connect to networks normally... but was still unable to load any web pages. I tried on secured and unsecured networks as I did previously, and plugging directly into the router and into my Macbook Pro via firewire, with the same results as before. Safari loads pages when connected with an ethernet or firewire cable, but will not load pages on WiFi alone. I can attempt to access a router setup page via WiFi, and am prompted for a username/password, but the page itself never manages to load.
Any clues as to what may be going on here?!
