Windows 7 and Nvidia driver installation time-out

Hey everyone... I'm having issues installing my drivers...
I've overclocked the 9600 GPU in my 15" unibody quite some time back in windows vista. The thing is, after moving to windows 7, the official drivers from nvidia dont seem to install right. The hang for about 5 to 10 minutes and eventually finish, without completely installing the drivers.
I've tried manual installations only to receive a "operation timed-out" reply from the windows driver update dialogue. Is there anything anyone can help me out with? Anyone going through the same **?
I don't want to use drivers from "laptopvideo2go" however... they seem to install correctly but there's something about them that bugs me...
Thanks in advance!
Gordo!

Windows 8 64-bit install on 970a-g46 Mainboard AHCI and NVIDIA DRIVER issues

My Box:
MSI 970A-G46
BIOS 1.9 (AUG 2012) (Tried 1.11 but the nightmare started then)
AMD FX-6100 (STOCK SPEED AND SETTINGS) WITH OEM HSF
16GB PATRIOT VIPER 3 (1866) RUNNING @ (1600)
USED an EVGA 9800GT 1ST AND UPGRADED TO NVIDIA REFERENCE CARD GTX 550 Ti (1GB) WITH SAME ISSUES
90gb MonsterDigital Daytona SATA III SSD DRIVE (OS and minimal programs)
Antec HE 550
I am at a point of pulling my hair out. I decided to upgrade my system to enhance Diablo III game play. I got a combo deal on the mainboard and cpu, and thought the speed of the game caching on a SSD would also help. The first attempt which took a little struggle was Vista 64-bit. Eventually, I was able to get the OS to work with me, and it was smooth. Since M$ decided to offer the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for only $39.99, I thought, what do I had to lose. Well….lots of time. Now, I am not a newbie, though SSD drives haven’t been more than an interesting thought. So yes, I read many guides on everything from Trim enabled Win 7 and 8, and many other do’s and don’ts. What is driving me to the Netherlands of hell, is the installation and how buggy it has been. It boils down to drivers for the IDE/SATA/AHCI CONTROLLER. First, even thought it “sees” the SSD on installation drive selection, after pulling the USB installation drive, the system forgets it, and there is a “problem with the boot sector”. If you load the driver from the AMD site, it lets the install occur “fine”, but there is an issue with that driver which causes an irq conflict which leads to D3 audio issues and freeze ups. I did finally get things in order (not sure which driver I choose for that), and things were smooth, except I tried to install the GTX 550 ti and that led to a corrupt file error, which the system runs a check disk and cycles the “preparing to repair” and “diagnosing PC” a few times and never allows me to enter SAFE MODE (shift+f8), to disable the NVIDIA driver that is buggy, and doesn’t allow for the NVIDIA Control Panel to install without losing video, and starts the repair cycles again… Leading to ANOTHER RE-INSTALL...
My question, for the Windows 8 Pro installation on the 970a-G46 mainboard and then after install is complete, which driver is the correct choice for the AHCI/SATA Controller? All I find is Win7 64-bit AHCI inf’s, and SB7XX 64-bit inf’s (no SB950 INF). The Driver disk which came with the mainboard is very dated pre Win 8 stuff, ASMEDIA X106 which are not recognized by the OS as written for Win 8. AMD’s latest drivers are the ones causing the IRQ type lags and corruption.
What version, build and type of Windows 8 installations have you used on this mainboard, and what drivers allowed you install it without the above conflicts? Your input may decrease my insanity… So, thank you in advance…

I understand what you are telling me, only the generic drivers deliver subpar results. What is the point of running those drivers instead of windows 8 certified drivers written for said devices. My last install is functioning better, but still windows update fails every attempt, the apps i install (ie. weather bug) on the start screen wont load... to me windows 8 is a big fail....but that is just my view...
OK...I also own the 970a G46, and my upgrade experience from Win7 x64 AHCI to Win8 x64 AHCI was flawless the first time. No problems at all. You are running an AMD chipset board with a nVidia gpu, which means that your chipset drivers are not automatically updated with every gpu driver update you do--this would happen automatically if you owned an AMD gpu because AMD includes them in its gpu driver install packages. But--all you have to do to get the proper drivers for your motherboard is go here and download them. You only need the *chipset drivers* from this page--you do not need the RAID drivers, of course. That's it. It's no big deal, and back in the days when nVidia was making motherboard chipsets you had to separately download both the motherboard chipset drivers from nVidia and the AMD gpu drivers from AMD if you did not also own a nVidia gpu.
From your description of your problems it sounds like your installation of Win8 is hosed and you need to format C:\ and clean install from scratch, anyway, so...
A note about AHCI--the *ideal* way to install the AHCI drivers is prior to installing your OS for the first time, you enter the UEFI and set "AHCI" in the appropriate place, instead of IDE, and *then* you reboot from DVD and install your OS which will automatically install the correct AHCI driver from Windows. After the driver installation is complete you should then install the updated 970a drivers from AMD as linked above.
However, it is actually very easy to activate and install AHCI *after* you have installed Windows in normal IDE mode:
To enable AHCI in existing Windows 8 IDE Installation's
Caution: Do NOT enable AHCI in UEFI prior to making the following changes in your Registry! If you had AHCI enabled alreadyin UEFI, disable it first and restart your computer!
Use WinKey + R and type Regedit in the command line and hit the Enter key, this will open the Registration Editor.
Go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/services/iaStorV
right click on Start, select Modify and set Data Value to 0
Close Registration Editor and restart computer.
While booting, open the UEFI Page and set the SATA Mode to AHCI from IDE
Save UEFI settings and restart.
Windows will now install the AHCI drivers automatically and they should work without issues.
In order to avoid installation problems just like you have been experiencing, here is what I would do in your shoes:
1) Set UEFI for normal IDE drive mode
2) Reboot into IDE mode and install your OS
3) After you have finished with the installation, you should be having no troubles in IDE mode. Then go to the instructions above on how to properly enable AHCI *after* you have installed Windows 8 in normal IDE mode.
4) After everything is coming up roses in AHCI mode and you are having no problems, then install the AMD chipset drivers as linked above and you are golden.
Those 4 steps worked perfectly for me the first time (the first time I got them right, that is...).
There's nothing wrong with Win8--this is strictly operator error caused by insufficient research into what AHCI is and how to properly enable it. The Internet has some bad info on Win8 registry settings for AHCI because of the developer preview and the consumer preview versions of Win8 that Microsoft released to the public prior to the final shipping build--many "instructions" for Win8 are therefore not valid for the shipping version of Win8. At first I made some of the same goofs that you did, but now you get to benefit from my hard-won experience... Good luck! Should work like a charm. And, registry AHCI is done differently in Win8 than it is done in Win7 or Vista. Also, the registry settings relative to AHCI in Windows 8 for AMD are different from the registry values that must be changed for an Intel controller.
Parenthetically, My FX-6300 (Vishera) will be here in a couple of days! Yeah!

Windows 8.1 bootcamp install fails at NVIDIA Driver Installer

I've been trying to install windows 8.1 natively w/ boot camp on my Macbook Pro Retina, 15", Mid-2012 8gb Ram 2.3GHz.
I had a few issues with partitioning and everything, but eventually got the point where the windows installer ran, allowed me to create my sign in, etc. Then it guided me through the quick boot camp installer for windows. Once this finished, a small window appeared stating to be the NVIDIA Driver Installer. This remained on the screen for a few moments, and then the screen went black and remained so permanantly. On a cold restart and reboot to the Windows drive, it starts right back up in to this black screen. I've already tried to clean install Windows 8.1 again, same problem.
Thanks for your help!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you can use Wi-Fi before installing the Boot Camp drivers, I recommend you to install the most recent NVIDIA driver from the NVIDIA website first > http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/73784
The Boot Camp installer installs an older version, so if you are having problems, it is better to install the most recent version, so the NVIDIA driver installation step will probably be skipped.

When downloading 10.5.2 version of itunes to Microsoft Vista 32 bit it gets to 68% downloaded and hangs then eventuall times out. No error msg given. What is it waiting for?

Finally got it working, I had to delete two solitary files in an iTunes folder.
C:\ProgramData\Apple Computer\iTunes\SC Info
Delete the only two files that are in this folder. Please note that it is a hidden folder.
After they have been deleted, iTunes should work (it did for me)
This may not work if your iTunes.exe process (viewable with task manager) turns off after the license agreement. I solved that problem by updating quicktime.
iTunes 10.5.2 doesn't update quicktime like all the previous installers did.

Why does the installation time out once it's reached 41%?

I have Windows 7 Operating System and everytime I try to download and install Adobe Reader it times out once it reaches around 41% and I get a message Adobe not installed. Does anyone know how to get around this issue?

What installer do you use?

Backing up Air SSD and external drive to Time Machine

Hi
Sincere apologies if this has been asked and answered but I cannot find an answer or phrase a search properly to do so.
I have a 500gb MacBook and am planning to get a MacBook Air. I would like to move much of the content from my MacBook to an external drive b/c it won't fit on the Air--music, photos, etc.
What I cannot seem to understand is how I will then back it all up. That is, I will have some content on my Air that I use frequently--work files and so forth--and I will have mostly media on the external drive. Do I then use a second external hard drive for Time Machine backups and if so can I set it to back up my Air's SSD and the external drive that is storing my media files? (In case it's relevant, I also currently back up my MacBook offsite using Crashplan.)
I hope I phrased this correctly and that my question is clear.
A related question: Part of the reason for wanting to get an Air is the increased ease of mobility. I would like to have some music stored on the Air, and accessible via iTunes, so that I can listen to it when I take it to the office, when traveling, etc. Is this possible?
Thank you very much

Correct. Having Time Machine store it's backups on the same drive as data it's backing up is mostly self defeating. If that drive were to fail then you'll lose the data and it's backup. Time Machine to Time Capsule is also great because it is wireless and just needs to have power nearby. You can even hide it behind furniture in the house (out of site) and it'll still backup continuously whenever your laptop is in the house and not sleeping. It's so easy you'll forget about it until you need it someday.
If you want an ideal home backup solution I would recommend:
1) A TimeCapsule on your home network to serve as your passive, local, incremental backup system for accidental file deletions, or rolling back changes.
2) Use a cloud backup service such as CrashPlan or BackBlaze for passive, off-site backups in case of a disaster (fire, theft, etc.)
3) And lastly, it's always nice to have a third backup type, a bootable clone (using SuperDuper!, etc.) that you actively create just prior to any major upgrade of Mac OS
Having even one of these puts you far ahead of the majority of home computer users. Having all three backup types should give you great piece of mind that you are really protecting your data files and media.

Can I buy "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended", choose the platform "Windows" and then install it both on a Windows PC and as second installation on a MacBook Pro (on OS X)?

Hello everyone,
I want to buy "Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended" but have to choose a platform (Windows OR Mac) during the buying process. When I buy Photoshop, I'm allowed to install it on a second Computer, but use just one copy at the same time.
Is it possible to install the same licence both with the Windows PC and a MacBook Pro with OS X on it?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Mo

a ps license allows either 2 pc or 2 mac installations. to install on both mac and pc, you must purchase two licenses, or subscribe to adobe cc which does allow 1 pc and 1 mac installation for all adobe programs.

Have an iMac Early 2008 + Windows 7 and no sound from speaker out? SOLVED!!

Hello everyone,
So I'm pleased to say after over a month of trying to solve this annoying problem, it's been solved! Basically, if you have an iMac, Early 2008 edition (8,1) and Windows 7 and notice that the default microsoft driver gives very low sound and the new realtek drivers only give sound through the internal speakers... then this solution is for you!
What you'll need:
7-zip (www.7-zip.com)
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Disc 1 (NOT Snow Leopard!)
Here's what you'll need to do, step by step:
1) Uninstall the Realtek Driver (latest version currently 2.37) by going to Control Panel / Programs / Uninstall Programs.
2) Reboot. Upon reboot, the system will automatically reinstall the default Microsoft drivers. You can check this in Device Manager (control panel / system / device manager).
3) Insert the original Leopard Disc 1 that came with your iMac (very important, as this is the only driver I know for sure will work). Point windows explorer to the folder: D:\Boot Camp\Drivers (assuming d: is your cd-rom drive).
4) Copy the "RealTekSetup.exe" file somewhere on your desktop. Do NOT install it!
5) Decompress "RealTekSetup.exe" by right clicking the file and choosing "7-zip decompress". Again, you'll need to make sure you installed 7-zip from 7zip.com prior to doing this.
6) Go to your Device Manager again, right click the sound device (which should be something like High Definition Audio) and choose "Update Device Software".
7) Select "Browse my computer for driver software" and direct it to the folder that you extracted the drivers to.
8) You now have sound through your EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
This works because there is a bug that RealTek/Apple does not seem to want to fix where the newer version of the RealTek control panel detects the speaker out as line in and the line in as nothing! This forces drivers normally made for Vista or Vista64 to install on Windows 7, which work 100% great.
I promise you, if you have an Early 2008 iMac, this WILL fix your problem if you follow each step! Let me know if you have any questions!
Brad Levicoff

If you don't have any Leopard disk then just google for "Vista_R199.exe".
This driver works nice on Early 2008 IMAC. I also tried an earlier version, Vista_R182.exe but there sometimes was a horrible background noise which made listening to music impossible.
Just download and follow the instructions above in the first post.
Have fun.

Backing up separated Boot and User drives with Time Machine

I'll be making the jump to Leopard soon and was wondering how messed up Time Machine will be on my G5 which has a 74GB Raptor Boot drive that houses all applications and a 160GB drive (internal) that houses my User directory. Will TM automatically back up the Boot AND User drive or will I have to do anything special? Come to think of it, I wonder if I'm going to have to do anything different just to set it up the same way it is now, but in Leopard. I was planning on doing a complete fresh install....hmmm....

He he he... That will be a very good question. TM should backup ALL files on BOTH internal HARD DRIVES(grinding teeth here) and expect to take about a day's worth for the initial backup. I upgraded and TM just won't backup the users folder on the first hd that has all the users and apps, while the second houses all of the movies documents, music, photos. I decided to make TM shut down and leave it off. However, all of the leopard features work very very very very very very very very...very very well for my G5(Dual core 2.5GHz, 4GB RAM, 2x 250GB HD, and NVIDIA GeForce 6800 graphics card with a 30' display). Spaces works like we breathe, the general apps run at almost twice the speed (running Mathematica 6 while rendering video with Final Cut Pro 4 while surfing the internet). Ok probably not twice the speed, but it is certainly faster than Tiger. Also you have more room (up to 16 spaces). Just make sure that you have a spare internal hard drive to replace, just incase.

Windows 2000 and oracle driver

Does any one has problem with oracle linkserver on following system
OS: windows 2003 server
SQL Server: SQL 2000 server
Linkserver to oracle 10g: using oracle oledb provider.
it works and then it sends TNS error message. For which we have already fixed the tnsname files for oracle and after reboot it works even once or twice and then it fails again of TNS could not be resolved error...
OLE DB provider 'OraOLEDB.Oracle' reported an error.
[OLE/DB provider returned message: ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified]

Is there something to do with windows 2003 or corrupted oledb driver or windows service packs.
Please advice

Hi amy2ki
I had the same problem and solved it.
It seems that this issue is related to security settings on ORACLE_HOME folder.
You must force Read&Execute rights on ORACLE_HOME folder for "Authenticated Users" and propagate them below.
Check this note on :
http://www.google.com/notebook/public/01335025009615452606/BDRwbSwoQnIbT6rQh
Shortly, the steps are:
Oracle Client software requires that you give the Authenticated User
privilege to the Oracle Home by following these steps:
1. Log on to Windows as a user with Administrator privileges.
2. Launch Windows Explorer from the Start Menu and and navigate to the
ORACLE_HOME folder. This is typically...
- the "Ora92" folder under the "Oracle" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\Ora92) in Oracle9iR2
or
- the "Client_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Client_1) in Oracle10gR1
or
- the "Db_1" folder under the "Oracle\product\10.1.0" folder
(i.e. D:\Oracle\product\10.1.0\Db_1) in Oracle10gR1
3. Right-click on the ORACLE_HOME folder and choose the "Properties" option
from the drop down list. A "Properties" window should appear.
4. Click on the "Security" tab of the "Properties" window.
NOTE: If you are running Windows XP and do not have a "Security" tab
please do the following:
(a) Open "Folder Options" in your Control Panel.
(b) Choose the "View" tab.
(c) Under "Advanced Settings" uncheck the option "Use simple file
sharing (Recommended)".
The "Security" tab should now be available.
5. Click on "Authenticated Users" item in the "Name" list (on Windows XP
the "Name" list is called "Group or user names").
6. Uncheck the "Read and Execute" box in the "Permissions" list under the
"Allow" column (on Windows XP the "Permissions" list is called
"Permissions for Authenticated Users").
7. Re-check the "Read and Execute" box under the "Allow" column (this is
the box you just unchecked).
8. Click the "Advanced" button and in the "Permission Entries" list make
sure you see the "Authenticated Users" listed there with:
Permission = Read & Execute
Apply To = This folder, subfolders and files
If this is NOT the case, edit that line and make sure the "Apply onto"
drop-down box is set to "This folder, subfolders and files". This
should already be set properly but it is important that you verify this.
9. Click the "Ok" button until you close out all of the security properties
windows. The cursor may present the hour glass for a few seconds as it
applies the permissions you just changed to all subfolders and files.
10. You must REBOOT YOUR COMPUTER to assure that these changes have taken
effect. Failure to do this can prevent this procedure from working!
11. Re-execute the application and it should now work.
NOTE: If the problem is still present after following steps 1-11 and
rebooting your computer in step 10 you should perform the following
two additional permissions settings at step 8 as described below.
This may be necessary due to permissions that have been configured
beyond the standard permissions setup when the OS was originally
installed:
12. If the problem is still present, go back through these same 11 steps
above, but when performing step 8 additionally check both boxes entitled
"Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child
objects. Include these with entries explicitly defined here."
AND
"Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown
here that apply to child objects"
AND be sure to reboot in step 10.
Hope it helps, it worked perfectly for me.

I can't download update 5.0.1 and have disabled all security measures and the download still times out shortly after beginning the download. All other downloads are successful so I know the problem is not in the computer. Can anyone help?

Can't download update 5.0.1 to my iPad2. I disabled all security items in fact have deleted them from computer, but the download still times out advising check settings but all is set right? Can any one help with this matter?

Both nouveau and nVidia driver problems with Stellarium

Stellarium v0.12.4 with either xf86-video-nouveau 1.0.9-1 or nvidia (latest driver) and an nVidia MCP78S (GeForce 8200) chip usually results in either distorted graphics and sometimes complete system lock-up.
The nVidia driver is worse, nouveau sometimes works but its a crap shoot. This has been going on for about 2 months now, and I have tested both drivers.
With nouveau it dumps these boot errors, but works on other software just fine:
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x10022c
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x100230
Oct 21 17:17:48 eagle kernel: nouveau E[ PBUS][0000:02:00.0] MMIO read of 0x00000008 FAULT at 0x1002e4
I cannot use the nvidia driver in general because it sometimes causes graphics faults when using Chromium.
I don't get any other graphics issues other than with Stellarium (and obviously I cannot run google-earth with nouveau either).
Any ideas on where to start with this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks for answering!
Following your advice, I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Nvidia (http://www.nvidia.fr/object/notebook-win7-winvista-64bit-260.99-whql-driver-fr.html). I'm not sure this is the one I updated on the first place since I don't remember when I did it (it was a few months ago, and as I had internet without using wi-fi, I didn't see that much the BSOD, but now that I'm back to wi-fi, the problem occurs often). Until now, no BSOD, but the first problem "Display Driver Stopped Responding and Has Recovered" is still here, and a little bit more annoying since it can occurs while watching some video files (it didn't happen before).
For the BIOS problem, it was the one described on the link you gave, but no the problem is over. I was just thinking it could be relevant to understand the others problems.
I'll let you know if the BSOD is (or seems) definitively gone. In the meantime, if someone knows how to fix the problem of the display driver that stopped responding and was recovered, it would be greatly appreciated!
