Win XP Pro 64 bit Drive

Finally completed my 64 bit computer project . Installed evaluation version of Windows XP 63 bit
or is it Server 2003 64 bit. It gets a little confusing Desktop show XP PRO 64 but winver. shows Server 2003 64 sp Anyway I have been having a heck of a time with sound and printer drivers.Found all other drivers and system runs great just no sound. Any sugg.

Hey Jeremy,
I've posted a few times and seen that you've replied to many others' reports of problems with Windows x64 and the SB LIVE! working with surround sound. I installed the drivers from this website and still only my front left and front right speakers are working. I have 7. surround...while I had my volume turned down all the way though I experienced something odd. My side and rear speakers were making sound but not nearly audible enough to hear clearly, while the front speakers were silent. It seems as if they're not controlled by any of my volume settings. If you have any suggestions for me please let me know. I have AMD 64, Asus A8V socket 939 motherboard, running Evaluation Copy of Windows x64 Build 3790 (Service Pack , v.433).
Thanks in advance,Mike

Fresh Install of Win XP Pro SATA Driver's don't work

Hello
I apologise first of all if this is posted in the wrong forum but as this is the motherboard I am using here goes: ( System configuration is in signature)
I recently purchased a Seagate SATA HDD 160gb and fitted to the VIA 8237 chipset Sata_1 connection. Then the problems begin...
SATA is enabled in the BIOS onchip (not the Promise controller)
Press F6 during installation of Win XP Pro and install VIA 8237 SATA RAID driver - from USB external floppy drive - for Win XP and continue installation. After Formatting the hard drive the installation now asks for me to insert the diskette again and press enter 'Please insert the VIA Combo RAID Driver Diskette', and I do so and press enter...nothing happens!!! I have tried using the disk provided with the board and have also made a disk from the drives at the MSI website, both to no avail.
I have also tried this process with the Promise controller i.e. attaching the drive to the Ser_3 connection and installing the drivers from the floppy during XP install and yet again I am requested to insert the floppy labelled Promise 579/518 Controller, and again when I do nothing happens.
I would appreciate any help you could give as I now have no PC to use and want to get this sorted asap.
Thanks

I have always left the floppy in the drive from boot, only trying otherwise when it kept failing. However could it be to do with the fact this is an external Floppy drive connected by USB that it wont take it? I notice there is not any activity from the floppy drive, no matter whether I take the disk out and re-insert or just leave it there.

Win 7 (64 bit) Driver for my Color LaserJet 2550n Printer

A specific driver for my HP Color LaserJet 2550n is not listed in the Win 7 driver list. I see drivers for 2500 PCL 5, 2500 PS, 2550 PS, and 2600n. ( just updated the Windows driver list.) I've been using the HP Color LaserJet 2550 PS driver, but have problems printing that I never had with Win XP. Which ddriver is the correct one for my 2550n printer?. Thanks.

Win 7 64-bit driver needed for HP LaserJet 1022

Cannot find a driver for HP LaserJet 1022 (non-networked, directly connected) printer. The one from the HP website doesn't work. This is a fully up to date Win7 64-bit installation.
Thank you very much for any help you can give!!

Here is a I have created a document (see attached) that has 3 different install methods. These install methods have been tested several times on several different system and all have worked successfully, both in printing test pages and in printing from Word, in the 32 and 64 bit environments.
Several people have reported that install method 3 has worked successfully for them.
If you have downloaded drivers previous drivers and you want to clean them off your system, you will need to delete everything that has LJ1020 or LJ 1022 associated with it. This means removing everything from the driver store and from all HP folders. You will need to look in your Print Server Properties (at the top of your device manager, make sure you have at least one driver with a green check mark on it and it isn't the LJ1022 so you can see the Print Server Properties) and delete the driver and package from here. As well as delete the LJ1022 folders from your C://Program files and your recycle bin. Then make sure your reboot your computer BEFORE you try and reinstall anything. You may have to do this a couple of time before everything is off your system.

Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. How can I find it?

Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit. Where can I find it, and what file is it? (Yes, it's an old Distiller that came with Acrobat 5. So shoot me. But I do need the driver.)
Win 7 prompted me for an *.inf file. Any idea?
If I find the original Acrobat 5 CD, which .inf would it be?
(Hey, since I'm asking, also a driver that will work on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.)
Thanks.

There is no .inf file on the Acrobat 5 CD that you can use to create a “driver.” If Distiller 5 even installs and runs on Windows 7 x64, the plumbing that came with Acrobat 5 to automatically feed PostScript files created by the PostScript driver to Distiller simply won't work with modern versions of Windows or any 64-bit version of Windows.
FWIW, Acrobat 5 is five full versions back from the current version. And no, we won't shoot you; you are effectively doing that to yourself! Your time must be worth something?!?!

T500 Win 7 pro 64-bit drivers - hard drive device driver filename?

Hi,
I recently started an upgrade path with my T500.
I purchase a new 500GB western digital drive.
Now I need to gather all the win 7 pro 64-bit drivers for my T500.
I started the install of win 7 pro to see how far I could get, not far ... I am stuck currently searching for the proper device drive for my mass storage (which is NOT partitioned either - ideas on how to do that or should the win install program program give an option once I have the right driver(s)?)
Do you know what the proper T500 win 7 pro 64-bit driver is I need? I have tried a few with no luck yet.
Fun fun fun ...
Thank you.
- Spuds23

You shouldn't need any additional drivers to do an install of Win 7 on your T500. You might add drivers later, but the Win 7 installer should get the initial install done without adding anything. It certainly did on my T400.
You might try setting the BIOS AHCI setting back to SATA (or whatever the non-compatibility mode is called.) That shouldn't be necessary either, but it's worth a shot. For that matter, just do a reset of your BIOS and try from there.
BTW, once you have Windows installed, also install ThinkVantage System Update and use that to pull down the drivers and apps for your machine.

I format my laptop to win 7 pro 64 bit then i installed itunes and i want my old podcasts to be on the library. i have my old podcast in hard drive. what should i do to get it????

i format my laptop to win 7 pro 64 bit then i installed itunes and i want my old podcasts to be on the library. i have my old podcast in hard drive. what should i do to get it????

I assume the podcasts you have are the mp3 or other audio files rather than a podcast feed in iTues or another rss reader? You can simply drag the audio files into iTunes, though they will appear in the 'Music' list since iTunes has know way of knowing that they come from a podcast.
You can change the 'Media Kind' in the get Info pane (menu File>Get Info>Options pane) to 'Podcast' but each file will appear as a podcast with no title, containing the single episode.

No audio in firefox, works fine in IE & Chrome. Have Dell E6500 running Win 7 Pro 64 bit. every thing works with native windows driver but with not IDT driver

I have no Audio in Firefox. I think this is an old problem with Dell IDT driver and Firefox. Flash is installed, I have uninstalled and re-installed two or three times, removed pluggins and put them back to no avail. The native win 7 driver from 2010 works okay in all browsers including firefox but I would like an up-to-date driver that works. The latest IDT driver for my Dell e6500 running Win 7 pro works great in IE and Chrome but not Firefox.

I don't think there was any setting I could change on the driver. Firefox did not show up in the mixer or volume control. It is there with the native win 7 driver. This driver doesn't seem to see Firefox. I just got this computer, but looking for help, posts three years ago on the web seemed to have this problem with the Dell e6500 and Firefox.

Hi:
You need to run this driver and then manually install it.
http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?swItemId=vc_133833_1
To manually install the driver go to the device manager and click on the PCI Encryption/Decryption Controller needing the driver.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver.
Select the Browse my computer for driver software option, and browse to the driver folder that was created when you ran the file.
That folder will be located in C:\SWSetup\sp66974.
Make sure the Include Subfolders box is checked, and the driver should install.
Then reboot.

Lightroom 5.6 on Win 7 Pro 64 bit SP1 tying up CPUs, running very slowly

Hi,
I have Lightroom 5.6. Whenever I use the Spot removal, Graduated filter, Radial filter or Adjustment brush tools in the develop module, it ties up the 6 CPU cores (as viewed in Task Manager) so everything goes very slowly. For example, the effect of a stroke with the Adjustment brush only appears on screen after 5 seconds or more. Sometimes it gets so bad that I have to kill the process and restart Lightroom. It affects other programs running at the same time, as they can't get enough CPU. It is basically unusable. An edit that should take five minutes can take an hour.
The problem happens when I either
In the Library module I select an image that I have previously used the tools mentioned above on
or
In the Develop module when I use those tools.
It is not just an issue with Lr 5.6 - previous versions also did this on my system.
My workflow is:
Browse the library module, adding images to a collection (Canon EOS 7D raw)
For each image in the collection I:
Select the image
Create a virtual copy
Stack the original and copy together
Edit the copy
Export AdobeRGB 16 bit PSD to Photoshop for sharpening and conversion to CMYK
Place the image into my InDesign document
I occasionally use Perfect Photo Suite 8.x on my images from within Lightroom.
I have been a software developer for over 30 years, so I'm not doing anything stupid. Lightroom is just spinning the CPU cores to no effect, like it has a thread or threads in an infinite loop.
I typically have Lightroom, Photoshop (CC or CS6) and InDesign CS6 running at the same time. All three together occupy just over half of the available RAM.
I have a prettty fast machine (see the specs below) and other software does not tie it up like this (except rendering video in Pr or Ae, which I expect).
I have tried googling for an answer, with no success.
I feel this is an issue that Adobe ought to provide technical assistance for, given the technical nature and severity of the problem.
Please help.

Using 4TB WD drives on M58p in Win/7 Pro x64

After taking advantage of Cyber Monday deals in December, 2013 for Western Digital WD4001FAEX 4 TByte drives, I suddenly was faced with the "32-bit MBR" issue on systems with normal BIOS (not UEFI) like my 7630 and 7483 M58p Small Form Factor PC's. My goal was to have a slightly less than 2 TByte C: drive with a D: drive partition around the same size starting BELOW "the 2 TByte line." I read in the forums that this configuration was possible but NONE of these gave a HOW-To process.   I've successfully done this three times on a 7630-B81 and pair of 7483's (an AF2 and a W59) systems, all running licensed Win/7 Pro x64 operating systems.   I started out using the Recovery partition from the 7630-B81 cloned to each Western Digital drive with Acronis True Image Free WD Edition. This created two partitions on each drive after performing a System Restore and applying genuine unique Microsoft Windows/7 Pro x64 product keys on each drive in each system. There was a 9.77 GByte Recovery partition, and just under a 2 TByte C: drive. The rest of the drive was "unallocated".   I applied all appropriate drivers for any new I/O and 170 or so Windows Updates including .NET Framework 4.51 code. I downloaded XVI32 (free) for a hex editor and the free MBR Wizard Command Line version 2.0b to pull and restore the Master Boot Record (512 bytes). I also installed the free version of EASUS Partition Master but this was only used to evaluate the number of available sectors in the "new" partition.
   I started the Win/7 Pro DISKMGMT command and decided to shrink the C: drive by 256 MBytes to expose a section of the 4 TByte drive that was below the "2 TByte line."   I created a new volume in that 256 MByte partition using DISKMGMT in order to establish a valid entry in the MBR's Partition Table.   I then used the MBRWiz command with the /save= parameter and provided a filename after the equal sign in order to save the current MBR contents, call it C:\Original.bin file.   Here is the contents of the 4 Partition tables in that file:
01BE     80 20 21 00 27 FE FF FF 00 08 00 00 00 80 38 01
01CE     00 FE FF FF 07 FE FF FF 00 88 38 01 00 78 BF FE
01DE    00 FE FF FF 06 FE FF FF 00 00 F8 FF 00 F8 07 00
01EE     00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
The 446 bytes before the address 1BE comprise the Boot program in the MBR. The last two bytes are 55 AA after the 4th partition table entry (all zeros on this example.).
I took the last 4 bytes of the 3rd partition (Length Field) and modified them to "extend" the 256 MByte partition to nearly the end of the drive, editting with XVI32.   Here's the new 3rd Partition Table entry:
01DE    00 FE FF FF 06 FE FF FF 00 00 F8 FF 00 A0 C8 D1
(When the partition is formatted for NTFS, the byte at 01E2 changes from x'06' to x'07' (NTFS)).
I then use MBRWiz with the /restore= parameter to load the modified MBR file to the target drive. If you are doing this to Drive 1, use the /Disk=1 parameter on the MBRWiz command line. With the new MBR online, I then restart Windows/7 Pro x64.   The new partition of 1718548 MBytes is ready for formatting. I checked my work with a 4-hour format of the new partition and all of the drives I formatted worked just fine
The 4 TByte drive size apparently is the largest drive that this "trick" will work on with the 32-bit MBR. This trick rely's on the "rule" that the last partition must START below "the 2 TByte line." I was surprised the number of partitioning tools that I tried would NOT work to create this partition configuration declaring the space was above 2 TBytes. Acronis True Image has a method to use the "unallocated" space, but it "creates" a Disk 1 out of that space and some applications like SpeedFan 4.49 will "crash" on that configuration. SpeedFan 4.49 works just fine with the drive configuration created here.
Disclosure: I am NOT employed by any of the brands mentioned here, but am an IBM Retiree not in anyway affliated with them.

Unfortunately your only solution may be to upgrade all of the AA8 installations. Adobe does not support AA8 on Windows 7, though several have been successful on 32-bit systems. The 64-bit system has been a killer for AA8 from what I have seen. Maybe one person reporting success. You might see if it can run under a compatibility setting. It is also interesting to note that the list you posted only mentions AA8.1, not the 8.3.1 that you indicated at the beginning. That could possibly be the issue. Generally the early releases have not worked with 64-bit systems. If you install the updates (maybe from Help>Updates, or as a download from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows) you will get the systems to run. Do expect potential problems if you continue to work with AA8, but you might be able to work it out. Good luck.

R7770 / Win XP pro driver issue - directx not supported help please!

Hi guys sorry to bother you, and for such a long question.
I've just purchased a brand new MSI branded AMD radeon r7770 to replace my nvidia 8800gt graphics card which finally bit the dust last week.
Despite uninstalling the old nVidia drivers, trying the ones that came with the card and downloading and installing the very latest versions from both the AMD and MSI sites, I still cannot get directx to work. At first glance, the drivers look to be installed OK, (the Catalyst Control Center starts up etc) but none of my games run, and the desktop refresh is incredibly slow. KSP's crash log helpfully states that it cannot find the device driver. When I run Dxdiag.exe all the directx diagnostic tags are greyed out and the info box states that the card does not support directx.
The system is pretty ancient but should still be up to the task as it was a well speced gaming PC in its day:
Mboard: Asus P5K3 Deluxe (intel P35 chipset)
CPU: Intel core2duo Q6600 (quad-core)
mem: 4 gig Corsair ddr3 mem.
PSW: 600W
OS: Win XP pro SP3
I'm aware that this is an old PCI-E 1.0 board and the card is designed around PCI-E 3.0, but the computer boots up and starts Windows just fine. Both the Bios and Windows detect the R7770 correctly. (I'd have thought if this was an issue - it wouldn't go past POST at all and begin beeping like crazy!)
To muddy the waters still further, as a experiment, I installed an old radeon card for test (a crappy Sapphire hd 2600 pro PCI-E version), which is about the same age as the rest of the system.
I couldn't find the drivers disk initally, so downloaded the relevant ones from Sapphire and AMD. Got EXACTLY the same problem as above: it looks as the drivers have installed but no Directx support (which is daft as I used to use that card games until I could afford to replace it with the 8800)
I tried everything I could think of for hours (including disabling driver signing security, stopping anti-virus software, trolling through the windows/ inf, System32 and System dirctories to weed out anything ATI - you name it) then miraculously found the old drivers for the HD 2600. Installed them with no probem at all - everything worked just as it should!
So, I looks to me like the XP drivers on the web are now garbage. Anyone else have similar problems or know of a workaround?
I'm not exactly rich so can't afford Win 7 or the dreaded Win 8 (which I loath) or a new PC, which is why i'm soldering on with this dinosaur!
The only thing I haven't done is splat Windows and do a clean install, do you think that'll help? If so why did the old radeon drivers work (win has been cleanly re-installed many a time since I last used that card, so there was no legacy junk lurcking in the windows diectory or it's registry)
Do you think I'd have better luck with NVidia? If so could you kindly recommend an alternative from them? I know an R7770 is a bit OTT for such an old system, but they are dirt cheap at the mo and not much more expensive than much less powerful cards.
Anyone have any thoughts about UBuntu? If it is a driver issue or there is no workaround, I may need to consider this route. Trouble is none of my legacy games will run on Linux and i'm not sure virtualization is available for my mboard.
Anyways, thanks for your time and for any suggestions you might make

Hi Flex, thanks for the quick reply and for the advice.
In the end i got it going by changing the boot.ini settings.
They were initially set with the /3GB /fastdetect switch to force the WinXp kernal to run in 1GB, and not take up 2GB as is it's default.
It was set that way to stop a 32bit game (KSP) crashing every 10 minutes or so, through lack of addressable memory.
All I did was simply set the boot.ini back to its default and directx sprung to life. I reset it back to 3GB to make sure it wasn't a fluke and as soon as I did, it killed directx again.
Maybe its a driver issue afterall - probably lack of proper XP support by AMD (This dosen't happen with the old- - 2008 vintage - version 4 ATI radeon drivers.) or perhaps its because the card has twice the memory over my old cards and therefore needs to access a higher portion of I/O allocation than is available in 32bit WinXP.
Its all a bit ironic really as i'm finding the R7770 runs like crap under dirx9 - i'm getting about 30% the frame rate of my old Nvida 8800GT and, as I can't use the 3GB switch anymore, it crashes every 5 mins or whenever I play any resource intensive game.
As the crashes are caused by lack of available address spaces under 32 bit systems, I've bitten the bullet and got 64bit Ubuntu. Got this working in the wee small hours last night - including the R7770 using the AMD catalyst drivers for Linux. Hopefully that will sort things out (and gimmie an excuse to learn a proper OS!)
Wish me luck i can see another "steep learning curve" on the horizon!
Cheers
Mike

I have a Z570 laptop Win 7 64 bit and need a new mouse driver

I just updated my Ethernet Driver on my Win 7 64 bit Z570 laptop. Now, the icon for my Mouse no longer appears in the sys tray, and I can no longer scroll using the Mousepad. In order to scroll, I have to go into control panel and open up the Mouse settings, and then the icon appears in the sys tray and I can then scroll. In MSCONFIG, I have normal startup checked. I have the Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad, with driver 15.2.7.0 dated 2/8/11. I guess I need to update the Mouse driver. Anyone know of a fix for this, or can you point me to where I can find a better Mouse driver? Thanks.

Hi jetjim2015,
Even though you have the current Lenovo driver loaded, if you want to try the latest Synaptics driver (V 17.0.19) you can find it here:
http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
Make sure you read this NOTE on the page:
"NOTE: Installing a generic driver may result in the loss of OEM-customized Synaptics pointing device functionality. Setting a restore point before installing is a quick way to rollback to the previous driver."
Cheers
