    Unfortunately it will probably take longer to trouble shoot then to just reinstall Windows. That would be my suggestion now. Re-installing takes about the same time as an erase-install of the Windows partition so I would suggest the latter. No need to re-format it.
    It happens, Windows just won't play right sometimes.
    If you have the Apple Software Updater and the Boot Camp control panel then it sounds like they were installed but Windows just isn't seeing the important ones.
    Are you familiar with Windows 7? We need to know what you know to help better.
    What do you get when you try to get on the internet? Does the Device Manager have any issues showing? If you open the Devices and Features control panel do you see any Apple drivers?

  • SBlive 5.1 Digital, Drivers wont install. I've tried everything

    Hey,
    Guess I'll try my luck here
    I have a SoundBlaster Li've 5. Digital card. Model # SB0220. I lost the install CD, but I was able to download a copy of the install CD. I recently wiped my dri've because I was getting hit up with adware and stuff (It was that time anyway). And now I can't my SBLi've drivers installed. When I try and run setup from the CD, it just says I don't have an SBLi've sound card. However, Windows does detect it. I've tried everything and it's just not working. No drivers from the web work. Creatives auto update doesn't work (Cant find the card). Is there anything else I can do? I'm going crazy...
    Thanks

    I have what I believe is the cure for the card detection problem. Anytime I post it, the post is usually ignored and the responses to the problem continue to be to move the card to another slot, make sure your card is a retail version otherwise contact your OEM distributer for a replacement cd, etc. Nobody seems to want to try my solution, although it has worked for me everytime I've encountered the problem. I hope this helps you.
    Okay. So, the Creative installer tells you to install a SoundBlaster audio hardware or go away. What to do?
    If you've got the install cd, locate CTZAPP.EXE in the Audio\English\Drivers folder. If you've got the Uni-Pack download, extract the file with WinZip or WinRar and locate the CTZAPP.EXE file in the drivers folder. Run it. If it's one of the newer ones that have the check box for "replace, overwrite any previously installed Creative drivers and software," then check that box and answer yes to confirm when asked. Reboot when prompted by the CTZAPP program.
    Upon reboot and Windows is loading, you may get an error message about regrun not found. If you don't, great, but it hasn't negati'vely effected my installations either way. Once Windows is completely loaded, restart the computer again. This is important!
    You may now run either the cd or the Uni-Pack setup program and it will magically not have the detection problem. If you're running the cd setup, uncheck Windows Drivers but install the rest. After the reboot, locate the 4MB Soundfont file in the Audio\Common folder on the cd and copy it to your Windows\System32 folder. You'll then be able to load it into both Soundfont Banks with the Soundfont Manager. If you're running the Uni-Pack download, then install all of it including the Windows Drivers. This way you'll get the 4MB Soundfont to install from its hidden compressed cab within the Uni-Pack. Upon reboot, however, you'll find that Windows Device Manager will only show three of the many driver files that should be there. Simply either run CTZAPP.EXE to reinstall the WDM driver over itself or use the Device Manager's Update Driver button and choose the Have Disk button to point Windows to the previously extracted Uni-Pack driver file. Cd users won't have this problem since they are choosing not to install Windows Drivers during the setup process.
    This has worked for me with several different Li've! cards and on 98, Me, XP. The only problem might be if you get the error when using the older driver series for Li'veware 3.0 (98 users who want the VXD's for the dos support). I couldn't locate a CTZAPP for those drivers, and simply installing the drivers using Windows hardware detection works, but the Li'veware installer still thinks you don't have a SoundBlaster hardware installed. So, you get the drivers but no software. That's a rare problem though. It's mostly the newer installers that have this bug.
    And, it is a bug. This happens whether you have a boxed retail card that the software is designed for or an OEM. It doesn't matter. Usually, a fresh install of Windows on a formatted hard dri've will solve it, but I think you'll agree that my way is nicer! The problem has happened almost every time if I've ever uninstalled the Li've! software or drivers. Run the installer, and it won't detect the card properly. Weird.

  • Boot Camp Drivers wont Install on Windows 7

    Hi
    I recently instllaled Windows 7 on my MacBook running Lion and when i go to install the drivers on Windows 7 it says "BootCamp x64 is incompatable with this model"
    How do i get the drivers to install?
    Cheers

    You download drivers from Boot Camp Assistant. Look there.
    In the past the drivers were all on your DVD from OS X and would copy them to Desktop in Windows.
    Back then, the folder was inside something like Apple \ Drivers \ .... \ Bootcamp64.msi
    You can still search Explorer for "Bootcamp64" as well as search these forums.
    Others have done same.

  • HT1199 I updated Itunes on my PC and now when i try to open Itunes i get a error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found" then whenI close that pop up I get a error message saying "windows was not installed correctly Erro

    I updated my itunes the other day and now it won't open I get error message saying "application failed to start because MSVCR80 was not found"  When I close that window I get message stating Itunes was not installed correctly Error 7 Windows error 126.  My PC is a Acer and I'm running Windows Visa.  I tried to uninstall Itunes and reinstall it and get same message.  Can anyone help.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • XP SP3 sound drivers wont install...

    Well, since I had to re-install XP completely i had to re-install the drivers too. The sound drivers for SigmaTel WILL NOT WORK. It starts install then a message pops up saying that 'Another instance of the program is already running. Please close...' I forgot the rest. The point is that i somehow got the sound drivers to install and everything worked fine on my previous installation. I dont know what I did so does anybody have any ideas? I think I may have installed a Sony driver for the equivalent of the Apple one...

    Your post(s) are very confusing and therefore you are not getting the responses that you seek.
    I want to post this to ensure that you have done the following:
    1. Used Boot Camp Assistant to remove your previous installation completely and restored your HD to one single volume.
    2. Used Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows XPSP3 (Your version is SP3 I believe) again.
    3. Once installation was completed, you inserted the *Leopard Installation Disk* in your drive so that *Boot Camp drivers version 2.0" get installed automatically.
    4. Rebooted Computer (Your sound should work at this point but may not have)
    5. Used *Apple Software Update* to download and install *Boot Camp drivers version 2.1*
    6. Rebooted Computer (This will complete version 2.1 installation)
    Have you done all of the above and in that order?

  • Itunes windows 2000 wont install

    hi,
    i am trying to install itunes on one of my older computers which has win 2k. when i start the installation i get this: "the windows installer service could not be accessed. this can occur if you are running in safe mode, or if the windows installer is not correctly installed. contact your support personal for assistance."
    win2000 sp4, windows installer 3.1 v2., i just upgraded it from windows ME (it is a little slow for win xp)

    Which version of iTunes are you trying to install? Windows 2000 is no longer supported, 7.3.2 is the last version that will work with Windows 2000: iTunes 7.3.2 for Windows 2000

  • Can new windows drivers be installed without updating to leopard?

    I was wondering if the new windows drivers on the leopard install disc can be installed in windows without upgrading tiger on the other partition?
    I want to upgrade tiger to leopard but want to wait till i have more time to complete the process, but i do want to check out the new windows drivers now.

    How would you extract the drivers from the Leopard disk?
    Normally, you create/install the Boot Camp assistant, which extracts the drivers.
    Anyone with Leopard installed can always supply anyone else with a new drivers disk, and, I would expect in time that the Windows system itself would be capable of obtaining the drivers. After all the main problem is that manufacturers have not yet written drivers for Windows on a Mac. Once the Mac hardware becomes "standard" there should be no problem using Windows update directly to get new drivers.
    This is what I am expecting to happen with my 64-bit Vista install on this box.

  • Flash player 10 wont install correctly

    I run firefox, vista 32 bit... everytime i try to play a video i get message to download flash version 10... i install.. when it finishes it tells me flash 9 is installed correctly... what is going on?

    Hi kenny, you need to Uninstall the old version of Flash Player first from here:

    Flash Player needs to be installed with IE and FF if you want to use it in both browsers.

  • Windows Vista wont install Ipod drivers

    OK I NEED HELP....
    I have Windows Vista and I am trying to install my iPod Nano, but everytime I plug my iPod in it ask me to insert the CD that came with it. As I don't have a CD I just click to install drivers automatically. Than it gives me an error saying 'unable to install drivers'. The divers do show up in the device manger under- other devices but there is a little warning sign next to it. So I right click on it and update driver, which it then tells me that it can't update driver. I have the latest version on iTunes and Quicktime, and I have also done a restore on my pc. Spoken to Apple 4 times!!! got no where with them. My iPod works fine on Windows XP machine, but not my Windows Vista. Has anyone else had any troubles with Vista??

    I'm not sure my problem with Vista is the same. New computer with Vista, and I'm trying to transfer my library from old computer to new one. I loaded latest version of iTunes. When I put in my apple ID, my acct balance and items in my shopping cart appeared. When I connect my iPod, it is recognized.
    I found an article that gave two options for copying library to new computer. One was to use backup discs to RESTORE, and the other was to use the iPod as a hard drive. It says that it will ask if I want to restore when I insert backup disc, but it does not ask. I tried Import, but tht didn't work either. When I connect my iPod, it doesn't copy the contents from there either. It only gives me the option of erasing iPod and loading what is on new library (which is only about 12 songs). I get a msg that I am synced to another library and can only be synced to one. I still got that msg after I deauthorized the old one.
    Any suggestions on how to load music onto new library?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Windows 7 apple drivers wont install on Boot Camp

    When i go to install the drivers off the disc i get this error. "An error occured installing the package. Windows Installer returned '1620'." Has anyone had this problem? please help
    Im on Lion and installing to windows 7 professional

    Pull all but the drive Windows will go on.
    To use dual processor you'd want Windows 7 Pro x64 (System Builder $129)
    In fact, you don't even need Boot Camp Assistant when installing on a dedicated drive, just boot Windows DVD and format the drive and partiton as you like.

  • HP PSC 1350x1 drivers wont install windows 8.1

    I cannot install this printer on a brand new (Acer Convertable) Laptop running windows 8.1 . 
    Windows update fails to intall the driver.  I have tried 10 times and it always fails even though it finds an update fo the driver
      The HP driver wizard errors out.  I have tried many times
    The manual install method (Devicesand printers/add new printer/pick existing port (tried both USB and LPT1)/used windows update to get new list of HP printers/found and selected PSC 1300 series (also tried 1310 serries).  Each time I get  "The print driver was not installed .  The parameter is incorrect"
    I have run all three methods both with the printer attached and with it attached,  I have removed the four devices from device manager (uninstall) each time to start fresh including reboot in between.
    I am at wits end......

  • Windows 7 wont install ('No Bootable Drive')

    This is EXACTLY what I've done:
    I've formatted and reformatted and partioned and wiped and formatted my hard drive innumerable times over the years. I have a Macbook Pro 4,1 (15-inch Early 2008).
    When I went to install Lion, I wanted a clean install, so I installed OS X 10.6 via USB with my iPod, then immediately upgraded to lion. When I did the 10.6 install, I first completely erased the entire internal HD.
    In Lion, I then opened the Bootcamp Assistant, and partitioned my drive. I have attemped to install windows in the following ways:
    Via USB, using my iPod and my thumb drive. After holding option at startup, neither of these have appeared as bootable disks. I have used 4 different discs at this point, from friends and neighbors, but none of them appear as bootable using USB devices.
    I then asked a friend to lend me his external DVD drive. I then tested each of the installs using the optical drive, and all of them returned the same error:
    "No Bootable Device - Insert boot disk and press any key"
    I know at least one install installed fine in VMware, and they've all been installed on different computers sucessfully before. The PC I've been using was willing to boot up from every disk. My disks are 64 btw, but I have a 4,1 so I think I should be fine.
    Essentially, my question is am I missing any firmware or drivers, or why do I get a DOS prompt, presumably loaded from the disk drive telling me that drive is not a boot disk. Why wont my computer (just completely wiped with 10.6.3 retail + Lion) recognize any legitimate windows CDs, saying they are not bootable?
    Like I said, I'm using an external disk drive, as my MBPs internal optical drive refuses to read and spits out most DVDs (it has for a long while, CDs work).
    I have tried everything I know of, please provide suggestions.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    There is a "boot camp" forum (you have posted in the wrong forum) you might get a better answer there and there is a KB that answers all your boot camp questions...
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    QUOTE: "my MBPs internal optical drive refuses to read and spits out most DVDs"
    Have you tried putting the disk in and shutting down the MBP(before it tosses it out), then restart and load from the DVD drive (hold "C") ?
    Also, you don't need to flip out on Kappy, We are all mac users trying to help each other out... we are not Apple...
    What he means is that depending on your model there are some external drives which do not work with macs. So, you should make sure the drive you use is mac compatible

  • Windows 7 wont install in bootcamp.

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" i bought it from the apple store maybe three weeks ago. I have been wanting to install windows 7 in boot camp for a while now. I finally purchased an iso and a key from windows. I burned the iso onto a dvd-r and tried running it with boot camp assistant. It seemed to work at first but it says "im missing drivers and to insert a cd/external drive with the drivers on them." I assumed it meant the windows support drivers that boot camp downloads for you. I downloaded those to a usb and then nothing they weren't the correct drivers. I ave only seen like 4 postings on line about this and nobody helped them. Please help me!

    burn has to be slowest 2x speed.
    for free you could use 8 RP and wait to buy after it ships.
    apple windows support from BCA is for use after the install is up running and done.
    I see 100s of burn issues, and the side effects.
    as long as you have the download from BCA you are good to go and if there were special drivers (like for the Air and one or two others) it would be in
    www.apple.com/support/bootcamp
    which should be the first place - after Boot Camp Assistant guide and Help menu
