Windows 3.11 driver issue

Hi Guys,
I was requested to install some antique operating system by my client.
Thinking that 3.11 would have some generic drivers lying around on the web i scoured through every corner looking for a generic lan driver.
Unfortunately despite several days of effort, my attempts were fruitless.
I only managed to stumble upon some NDIS 2.0 driver for the specific lan card i had but it's a DOS driver.
The model was a broadcom 440 ethernet card that matches the model number of the built in lan card on the motherboard.
I tried to install any other win 3.11 drivers that i found throught the web, still it's displaying that the network was not responding correctly. 
Is there any advice i could get to get this old treasure working ?

Try to install it in VMware using the VMware 3COM virtual NIC. or whatever else they have (Intel's) .

  • Canon iPF810 - Windows 7 32bit driver issues

    Hi,
    I'm having issues loading the Canon iPF810 Win7 x86 driver in the driverstore. Everytime I try to load the driver, I get an error saying "Check that the Driver Store (idsd) is loaded". Thing is, the driver store IS loaded. There's no issues with the Windows 7 64bit driver, only 32bit.
    Here's what I'm running:
    Novell Open Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64)
    VERSION = 11.1
    PATCHLEVEL = 1
    novell-iprint-client-6.5.1.20130807-0.3.3
    novell-iprint-iprntman-6.5.1.20130917-0.4.1
    novell-iprint-migration-6.5.1.20130430-0.3.3
    novell-iprint-iprntman-wrapper-1.0.0-29.78

    novell-iprint-server-6.5.1.20130917-0.3.1
    Now, I know those aren't the latest RPMs but I have tried other iPrint servers that do have the latest RPMs and I'm getting the same error.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks.

  • ImageCLASS D1120 Windows 8.1 driver issues and MF Toolbox problems

    I'm having some real problems getting several imageCLASS series multifunction units to work in the windows 8.1 x64 environment.  most recently, I've been working with a D1120, and I can't get it to do any more than print reliably - no scan functionality at all.  I realize there are two issues here, so I'll try to break them apart as best as possible.  For reference purposes, i'm running windows 8.1 on a 64-bit system.  I was able to download the correct drivers and program from the canon website, and extracted them with no issue.
    On the driver problem, I tried using the instructions found in this link, but windows went ahead and installed the 2009 series drivers regardless.  It's connecting via USB, and doesn't give me any option to update the drivers once "installed".
    On the MF Toolbox problem, I've gotten it to do one one scan job, and then it starts throwing a variety of error messages at me.  First, it will say there is a data transfer error.  Then it will say there are no documents in the queue.  Then it will simply lock up and not start the scan job at all.  I tried using the instructions in this link, but didn't get anywhere.  
    Any way you can help on one or both of these issues?  I have a feeling they are related somehow...

    Hi merliner.
    I will be glad to assist you.
    The drivers may not be installed correctly because the Windows operating system is automatically installing the driver.  First, we will need to disconnect the printer from the computer and uninstall the drivers.  Since the drivers are being installed by the Windows system, I recommend uninstalling the drivers from the 'Print Server Properties' window.  Please follow the instructions below:
    1.  Open the [Devices and Printers] window.
    2.  Left-click, one time, on the Microsoft XPS Document Writer or the Send To One Note devices.
    3.  Click Print Server Properties in the Menu Bar.  (You will see "Add a device", "Add a printer", "See what's printing" and "Print server properties".)
    4.  Click on the [Drivers] tab.
    5.  Select the Canon drivers, then click [Remove].
    6.  Select "Remove Driver and Driver Package".
    7.  Click "OK".  (You may receive a message stating that the Package could not be removed.  This is fine.  As long as the driver is deleted from the list, you can continue.)
    Once the drivers are deleted, restart the computer.  After the computer restarts, and leaving the USB cable disconnected, please follow the instructions below to install the drivers that you downloaded from the Canon USA website:
    The file that you download from the Canon website is .ZIP file.  When you select [RUN], it unpacks the setup folder. 
    1.  Please open your [Downloads] folder.
    2.  You will see two icons with the name: D1170_1150_1120_MFDrivers_W64_us_EN.exe . Double-click on the yellow folder icon with this name.
    3.  In the folder you will see two listings for [Setup].  Double-click on the [Setup] that has the type as [Application].
    4.  The "MF Drivers Setup Wizard" will open.  Proceed through the steps and restart the computer.
    After restarting the computer, connect the USB cable and allow the installation to complete.  Finally, scan a document by following the instructions below:
    1.  Verify that MF Toolbox is closed on the computer and press the [SCAN] button on the printer.
    2.  The screen will show, "Scanning mode...".
    3.  On the computer, open the MF Toolbox and select [PDF].
    4.  Click the green [START] button on the [PDF] window.  The machine will start processing the scan.
    I hope this information is helpful to you.  Should you need further assistance, please contact us at 1-800-OK-CANON (1-800-652-2666).

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 graphics driver issue Compaq 100-105ef

    Have just upgraded my Compaq 100-105ef to Windows 10, no issues except the graphics driver which is causing me problems with some games that played OK under Windows 8.1.The processor is AMD E1-1500 with integrated HD7310 graphics. Have tried the AMD site and their Windows 10 driver package does not support my graphics.Anyone have the same issue or know a workaround?My current driver is 15.200.1012.2 which worked really well under Windows 8.1. Thanks in advance.

    Hi, Your PC has not been certified by HP for Windows 10 hence no drivers updates have been posted. Try reinstalling the posted W8.1 driver.

  • Windows 7 DVD Drive Issues

    Hello,
    I have installed windows 7 64bit (the full release) onto my macbook pro. Im new to mac and love it, but as to what model it is I think its an early 2009. The model is A1286.
    I had it running 32bit xp fine and Windows 7 64 bit runs fine and it reads CDs/DVDs however they don't eject? The button appears when I press the key and if I try to eject via my computer it just says an error occurred. The driver it is using is one built into windows. It reads the DVDs fine though? Its annoyign as I have to resart the PC to eject it.
    I installed Windows using the snow leopard boot camp (3.0).
    Any help is much appreciated
    Cheers
    Tom

    New people often have trouble with creating a new thread! let alone get it into the right sub-forum...
    Okay, I've never had a keyboard button open or eject CD/DVDs.
    I control + click on the device under Computer in Windows Explorer or double click on "Computer" on desktop.

  • HP ProBook 4530s Windows XP Graphics Driver issue

    Hey
    I just got a few of these 4530s and installed XP on them however the graphics driver won't take. I keep getting the error "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements."
    It has Service Pack 3 and is Windows XP Pro which is the only requirements I could find for the driver. Does anyone have any ideas why it won't install the graphics driver?
    This is the driver I found on HP for the graphics. Graphics Driver
    I have even googled and can't find any other ideas or situations where this occurs.
    Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Please give us the hardware ID from device manager for the video chip. Any chance the units you have use the discrete AMD graphics instead of the integrated Intel HD 3000? That would explain why the Intel driver doesn't work.
    You can also go to intel.com and download their generic video driver for the HD graphics for 32 bit XP:
    http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=20611&ProdId=3231&lang=eng
    This covers both the i series core version of the intel video and the Celeron version; again not sure what you have.

  • Dell XPS One 27 All In One Desktop PC Windows 10 Graphics Driver Issues

    I am posting to let Dell know about a problem with the current Dell XPS One 27 all in one desktop PC running the technical preview of Windows 10.  The XPS 27 uses a NVidia mobile graphics card that utilizes the 750M graphics chipset.  Dell publishes a compatible driver on its support pages (Driver 331.82).  This driver works on Windows 10 technical preview builds 9962 and 10041, however the Windows Update feature in Windows 10 technical preview forces driver updates.  The one being forced by Windows Update (Driver 349.90) is not 100% compatible with the hardware in the XPS 27.
    When the XPS 27 is running driver 331.82 (supplied by Dell) then Office 365 is both installable and will run normally, however when Windows Update forces the driver update to 349.90, Office 365 is no longer installable, and if it has already been installed, then it will crash whenever any of the apps within the office suite are launched.
    Currently in Windows 10 technical preview, there is no way of stopping Windows Update from installing the updated driver.  Even if you roll the driver back to the one supplied by Dell, Windows Update will then re-install 349.90 over the top of it.
    I have left detailed feedback for Microsoft using the Windows 10 feedback system.  I am posting this here to let Dell know about the problem as well.

    Greetings.  The problem associated with Office 365 has been resolved.  I am currently running Windows 10 Build 10074 and I am running Nvidia's GeForce 350.12 driver.
    Nvidia released some beta drivers for Windows 10 last week.  These are currently 352.??.  They have one for the 750M chipset, however the implementation of the 750M chipset used by Dell in the XPS One 27 doesn't appear to be standard.,  The driver won't install, citing "no compatible hardware found"
    Another problem with the current 350.12 drive in either Windows 10 build 10061 or 10074 is that it has broken all 3D gaming.  For example Skyrim on Steam no longer runs, and neither does Diablo III on Battle.net.  But at least Office 365 works, so I would rather be productive than entertained.

  • Can not turn on wireless after Windows vista install driver issue?

    Hi all,
    Not sure if this is the right place for the post, if not I apologies in advance.
    I have a Compaq Presario C700 (C730EM) on which the hard drive died on me, I brought a new one and installed Windows vista premium from disk (not a backup / recovery disk).
    All seems fine however I can not turn on the wireless, the C700 has a wireless button on the top left hard side (which has a red LED when not on). Normally you push this and it turns on (turns LED Blue) but nothing!
    I have commented wired and updated windows etc. and have tired to find wireless driver which I guess I’m missing? Not sure if it’s wireless driver missing or a keyboard driver?
    After installing a few drivers which I thought where right no joy!
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers

  • HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Profession​al 64 bit

    Hello,
    For some time now I have been unable to scan or print from my desktop (Windows 7 Professional 64bit) and I have exhausted too much effort and am now bringing it to the masses.
    The problem:
    Printing:  Currently receiving an "Error - Offline" message in my printer queue at all times.
    Scanning:  Scanning has never fully worked on this desktop. I am always unable to communicate with the printer. (Though webscan works through accessing the printers IP address)
    Things I have tried:
    Ran HPPSDr, followed directions (Unpluged power to printer, turn back on, restart computer) brings me to this website after it cannot fix. (Note that while the HPPSDr is running it always notions that there is a driver problem)
    Uninstalled Drivers from CD-ROM, re-installed, countless times
    Installed "Windows 7 Pro 64 bit drivers" from the HP website and uninstalled, countless times.
    Attempted to set a static IP and use "Update IP Address" to point specifically at the printers IP.
    Installed Drivers and finding the printer myself through it's own static IP address.
    Turned off firewall and attempted to print (after reboot), same errors
    Setting up the printer on all of my laptops (3) wirelessly to attempt to find if there is a problem with the printer or static IP. (1 is Windows VISTA 32bit and the other 2 are Ubuntu 32bit). All laptops are able to use the printer wirelessly without any problems.
    Read all of the forums about this issue and attempted all of the 'solutions'. Although I mostly don't see that anyone with this same problem is resolved, unless I'm missing the perfect post.
    Things I have not tried:
    Plugging the USB directly into the desktop. (This seems self defeating as the purpose for this printer was to be able to print wirelessly to it from across the room)
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (Trying to avoid this, would rather just print from laptops)
    You tell me
    Curiosities:
    I have noticed strange things that make me believe the driver is somehow incomptable with my OS. Here is a shot of the properties of the printer:
    Weird that it is not recognizing the model number.
    Also in the Printer Settings when I go to the port tab, there is no port selected, if I try and tab away it forces me to select a port, yet when I do and 'apply' and then re-open the Printer Settings in the ports tab; it has again unselected the previously selected port.
    Theories:
    I feel like my OS is just refusing to notice the IP address for the wireless printer, no matter what I have it set to, even if it's dynamic. It's like the driver for Windows 7 Pro 64bit is actually not the correct driver for my system.
    Anyways, another thing to mention is that I am not currently willing to wipe my operating system and re-install Windows 7 Pro in order to resolve this just yet. I want to see if anyone else has any other avenues I can try before even beginning to consider that. 
    Anyways, thanks in advance for taking the time to read my ramblings and hopefully someone who has resolved this issue can help me.

    Hi Zerosouls,
    I understand you are having an issue with HP 6600 Scan\Print Driver Issue for Windows 7 Professional 64 bit.
    First try to click the Windows icon, type services in the Search box, and then click or tap View Local Services. Scroll down to the Windows Installer. Startup type should be - Automatic, and Service Status should be - started
    Restart the computer after this step and try installing Hp Officejet 6600 again.
    Please let me know what happens

  • HP PSC 1510 driver issue with Windows 8.1

    I can't get my HP PSC 1510 all in one to work with Window's 8.1.  I've installed HP doctor and the driver fails.  I've downloaded the new driver so I don't know what the issue is?  Anybody solve a similar issue?

    Hi @DerekRL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see you're experiencing driver issues.  I'd like to help!
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Windows 8.1 BSoD & driver issue

    Hello,
    I was hoping someone could help me out here. Let me describe the issue. For quite a while I was using Windows 8.1 fine and did not have any problems, however I recently burned my PSU somehow and then the problems started. Which I somewhy find odd, cause the
    BSoD's are related to a driver issue(?). The driver which seems to cause the problem, is
    Intel(R) Engine Management Interface.
    "This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    A device which does not exist was specified"
    Event Viewer displays the following error:
    "Intel(R) Engine Management Interface driver has failed to perform a handshake with the Firmware."
    Since it says "A device which does not exist was specified.", I assume I don't need this driver at all, so I tried disabling it and uninstalling, but it keeps coming back every time I restart my PC. I even tried looking for a newer driver, but couldn't
    find anything. The newest driver is for Windows 7 x64/x86. I found out you could possibly disable it in bios, but I couldn't find the option to do so in my bios. I went thru every option 1 by 1, just to make sure, I wouldn't miss it.
    Here's my PC:
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H55M-S2 (F4 BIOS)
    CPU: Intel i3 540 @ 3.07GHz (Overclocked to 4,03GHz)
    Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
    GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (GV-N660OC-2GD)
    RAM: 2 x Kingston 4GB 1333MHz DDR3
    HDD: Western Digital 500GB
    At the very moment, I have installed a fresh copy of Windows 8.1 Professional x64 and the problem still seems to exist. I have tried and googled for everything I can think off, now I'm just stuck at this problem.
    I hope someone can help me out here, or at the very least, guide me in the right direction.

    It points to incorrect memory page access obviously. It generally caused by some driver like you found. update all drivers should be resolved. Have you tried ever?

  • Windows 2008 Server Enterprise R2 x64 and Perc 4/dc SCSI driver issue

    Hello all, this is the first time posting so please forgive me if this has been posted here before.  I did try to search this issue but zero returns.
    OK, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900.  I have just put a fresh install of MS Windows 2008 ENT. Server x64.  I cannot seem to find a driver for the PERC 4/dc SCSI controller I have installed.  I have been told the 2003 x64 driver would work so I attempted to install that driver but was unsuccessful.  Then I was told by Dell that the driver should be native to the OS.  Is the driver native to 2008 Server (or, supposed to be)?  Does anyone have an answer as to where I might retrieve am driver of the controller if not?  Anyway, thanks in advance

    Hello,
    I don't have a PowerEdge 2900, but I do have a PowerEdge 2850.  I'm also just a regular bloke like yourself that just happened upon your post and after I figured this driver debacle out I registered to hopefully help.
    The good thing is my PERC card is the same in the PE2850 as it is in your PE2900, as I'm utilizing a PERC 4/DC.  I've also managed to run into the same issue you ran into(?) trying to load Windows 2008 Server Enterprise R2 (support for 32bit processors have been removed in R2... so no more x86 versions... my poor PE2650s never stood a chance with this OS).   
    I can tell you officially from my experience/research Windows Server Enterprise R2 does not have support built into it for the PERC 4/DC card.
    However, I was able to download the Windows 2003 x64 driver from support.dell.com and make it work after much trial and error with newer releases of the PERC 4/DC driver that were not accepted by 2k8R2.
    Here's the link:  http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=hied&releaseid=R100373&SystemID=PWE_PNT_P3C_2850&servicetag=FBCLP61&os=WX64&osl=en&deviceid=6396&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=3&libid=35&fileid=129549
    File name (incase Dell moves it on you guys) is "perc-w2k3-6.46.3.64-A01.exe", date released 6/9/2005, build version 6.46.3.64, and the Dell revision number is A01. 
    Even though it states the driver is for the LSI Logic PERC 4e/Si it's sort of a mega pack including many other drivers such as the PERC 4/DC.  This was much relief because I was thinking I would need to stick with Windows 2008 until I found this driver for Windows 2008 R2.  :)
    What I did was:
    1) Downloaded the driver and extracted it to a USB drive.
    2) Booted-up via the Win2k8R2 CD and when it got to the screen where it asked to install to a partition and didn't show me a partition to install Win2k8R2 to I selected the option to load a driver. 
    3) From the load driver option I just browsed to the directory where I extracted the files and selected that directory.  If the "hide devices that are not compatible" option is selected (normally on by default) it will show you the proper driver. 
    4) Select the PERC 4/DC driver and then setup your partitions the way you would like them!  
    From there you should be able to boot into the OS... and really have some fun.
    Now you have the power... I guess the choice is yours to R2 or not to R2... that is the real question.  :)
    Enjoy!
    Dave
    Thanks and this worked for a Power edge 1800, PERC 4/DC as well. Kukan

  • ITunes for 64bit Windows 7 Driver/CD/DVD/Drive Issues-

    Hi There
    I am sure that there are many many users out there suffering the same frustration as me in regard to ITunes just not working properly with Windoews 7 (64Bit).
    I have been trying to solve the mystery of "ITunes for Windows Registry Settings Warning When Opening Itunes.
    I have tried all the recommended actions to correct this problem without any success and I do mean ALL.
    Below is a screen shot of my registry, can anyone see anything wrong with it?
    In the meantime (Last four months) I have stopped using ITunes and instead have used Digital 7, this will be my very last attempt to get ITunes working properly, failure will mean consigning ITunes to the same place as any other Software that does not do wshat it says on the can.
    I hope someone can help.

    That's good that it is in device manager, but what about in Computer with the rest of the drivers?
    Also, are the drives listed in Computer and device manager or just device manager?
    I want to verify if the symptoms are present for a particular software issue before looking at other issues.  I really doubt it is a driver issue at this point.  If it was, then I suspect the issue would be present from day one. 
    It could be that the lens has dust buildup preventing it from working properly.  They do make CD cleaning kits that have a special CD designed to clean the laser as it passes over the lens.  If you happen to have one of these, or access to one, I recommend trying this step to make sure it isn't as simple as dust buildup interfering with the laser. 
    It could also be hardware failure, but I would like to try a few other steps before coming to that conclusion. 
    It may be worth reviewing this document as it covers a lot of the most common issues behind DVD drive issues. Feel free to skip any steps you have already tried. 
    Let me know what happens.
