Windows 7 installs its generic driver for the soundcard - cannot prevent it from doing so.

Ave Maria!
Just bought a SB0886 and I cannot get Windows 7 not to install the generic HD audio drivers. I've tried chaning the system properties under the hardware device installation settings ,i.e., No let me choose what to do - didn't make any difference. As soon as I scan for hardware changes it automatically installs the windows drivers and there seems to be no way to prevent this from happening.
I need this sound card installed really urgently - please help.
Yours in Christ and His Most Holy Mother

No, that should not be cause of generic drivers. Which drivers are you trying to install? From CD or latest drivers from HP?

If that doesn't work i guess you need to manual install the driver first. Therefore extract the package, go to device manager, open audio device, select to install new driver, 2nd choice to manally install them, then it depends you can try to let it search for the driver in the extracted folder or you really need to manually force it.

Windows 7 64 bit driver for the Zen Vision M?

- Where EXACTLY can I find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the Zen Vision M? My new computer came with it installed in Windows Media Player 2, but the driver became corrupt. I can't seem to find that driver on the Creative or Microsoft download websites. Please Help!

The driver is nati've to Windows. Creative does not write the MTP driver. I would suggest re-install WMP2 or contact Microsoft for advice if it is corrupt. As for software to use the player on a 64 Win 7system? there is nothing for the Vision M. You may want to read this page? http://support.creative.com/KB/showarticle.aspx?sid=605&h=3

Where can I get the Windows 7 64 bit driver for the MBP (6,2)?

I have to install Windows 7 for work. I have my hard drive partitioned for triple boot, with Ubuntu 64 bit on one partition, and Windows 7 64 bit enterprise installed on another. Both boot fine; Ubuntu found all its drivers automatically (well done, guys!), but Windows of course cannot. Boot camp assistant refuses to download the drivers because I've already partitioned the drive. (Pardon my frustration, but that is a completely brain-damaged software design decision. -1 to apple.)
Is there any way to get the drivers?? Even just for the wireless card?? This is unbelievably frustrating. It's 2011 - stuff is supposed to 'just work,' and playing coy little hide-the-hardware-driver games does not 'just work'.

Alas, no dice. I was able to skip the compatibility check and run the bootcamp installer, and the 3.1 and 3.2 updates. However, I still have no wireless. The device manage shows it as an unknown network card.
linux lspci identifies the ethernet and wifi cards as:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5764M Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
the ethernet card is recognized in windows, but the BCM43224 is not.
under linux the BCM43224 works out of the box using the standard "wl" driver with Broadcom's recently open-sourced firmware.
But I'm having a hard time finding any other Windows drivers for it: searching broadcom's site and windows support doesn't give me anything, and google just gives me loads of what look like pay-to-download scam sites and malware. Have I entered some weird parallel reality where wifi support is better in linux than in windows? :lol: that can't be, maybe I'm not configuring something correctly.

Having issue with GoFlex Seagate Driver Setting, Its always asking for the installation process whenever I am turning on my mac, any help will be appreciated.

Hi Team,
Unfortunatly, I plugged-in one of my friends external hard drive, and its asked me for the seagate driver instalation, after that every time when I am turning on my system, its asking for the goFlex software instalation process.
I tried out some process by googleing, I tried to remove the complete segate from my system, still it didn't help me.
Please help me with, to remove a complete segate package.
Thanks,
Jayaram.

Thanks Richard.
The 3 point did help me, now its not all asking for the each time instalation for the same driver.
Here one question comes to my mind, by deleting the content of the temp folder for the segate and removing all the releated files from the application, library->application support, library->extension, library->LaunchAgents, I deleted all the releated files of segate, could you please let me know if I need to delete from any more location to avoid the garbage files.
Thanks for your time and help

Where can I download a Windows 7 64bit driver for the hp CDDVDW TS-L633N on my cpq60-615DX

EDIT --
I neglected to say that I tried updating the driver from the Device Manager device window and the result was a message saying it could not find a newer driver, that the one installed was correct.
Another EDIT
I also did not say that I have uninstalled the device, through Device Manager. Upon restarting the system, the drive was found and software installed but the problem remains.
Original message follows:
System: CPQ60-615DX
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

In the process of installing some Roxio software, Creator 9, an unusable driver, are part of one, was installed. Now the device is not working.
When I didn't see on the list of devices on Windows Explorer, I went to Device Manager and found that it was flagged with the "problem" icon (exclamation point on a yellow background).
The General Tab Device Status box contains"

It appears that the Creator install installed part of the driver but not one that functions. It might be a problem with Windows 7 or the fact that this install is 64 bits.
I have searched the HP site and can't find a driver for the device. When I look at the list of drivers available for this system, the optical drive is not shown.
I downloaded and installed the HP driver search program - or whatever it is called - and ran it. There were no devices listed on "Optical Drive" tab when I looked at the results - it could not "see" the drive.
I realize that what I need is probably a generic driver from MS, that's why one is not shown on the HP site, but how do I go about finding the right one for this device?
Is there a generic "one size fits all" driver for Windows 7 which can drive this device?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

Hello Steve.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

Installing a driver for the Apple Keyboard in Boot camp windows

I recently installed Boot Camp, VMware and Vista on my Mac so that I could move all of my computing on to one computer (I use a few programs that aren't available for the iMac). In Windows I cannot use the number pad for input - I can only use the numbers just above the letters. This is a major inconvenience because I input numbers often. I have tried to search for the driver for the Apple Keyboard that is compatible with windows, but have been unsuccessful.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks!

I tried putting in the Leopard disk and running setup.exe and that went through the motions of installing all of the drivers, but after I restarted the windows machine it still doesn't recognize my keyboard. This may be a system wide issue, because when I work in Windows it also tells me that I do not have a camera installed for video chat. At first I thought this was just part of the price I had to pay to have a Mac and use windows on it, but now I'm thinking that my drivers were not installed properly because I know a camera is installed internally (obviously - its a less than one year old iMac all-in-one).
Can anyone think of something that I'm not doing? I have gone into the control panel in the Windows machine and tried to update my driver, but it keeps telling me that the driver is correct (it has windows driver for a standard ps/2 keyboard).

Driver for the PEN ONLY! (x61t windows 8)

Hey fellas,
I need your held desperately! 6 months ago I bought a X61t and installed windows 8. After a few minutes of browsing the web, I have found a driver for the pen-function which worked perfectly.
Yesterday I upgraded the X61t with a SSD. Due to the fact that I only use it for the University, their have not been any important data on the HDD so I decided not to back up the HDD and do a whole new set up on the SSD.
Now I'm browsing over one day and I cannot find a driver which satisfies me.
Some of the drivers make the pen work, but the trackpad useless. The mouse is "bouncing" through the screen, till I "stop" it, by tapping with the pen somewhere. Another strange thing is, in the last 6 months ONLY the trackpad and the pen worked. With some of the drivers, the display recognizes my hand, but only in a very inappropriate way, so using the hand to control something is not possible.
Now I'´m very disappointed that I cannot find my "old" driver, which worked perfectly! The only thing I know about the old driver is its name in the windows control panel: "Stifttablett" which is german and means "pen-tablet".
I would love you guys, if you can send me a link or something with a driver, that makes ONLY the pen work (as my old one)! I don't want to use multitouch with my fingers, because it is simply not working!
I hope you guys understood what I mean, becaue I'm from Germany and I don't use my english that often!
Cheers
Jan

You should be able to install the wireless driver by using the Recovery Manager.
You can access the Recovery manager from either the Recovery disk set or the usb Recovery media you should have already created.
The Recovery manager can also be invoked by using the Search charm and typing in Recovery and then clicking on the Recovery manager icon to the left that appears. Select the reinstall drivers and applications selection and choose the wireless driver.
You can also access the recovery manager by pressing the power button and immediately tapping the Esc keyto invoke the startup menu. In the startup menu choose the F11 key for the Recovery Manager to start. Again you should choose the Reinstall Drivers and Applications option.
I will let HP know about the lack of drivers. Give it a few days as this is the weekend.

erico

I am using bootcamp with windows 7, and always is showing me that there is no networks, it says I don't have a driver for the adapter; therefore i keep installing it, and suddendly windows 7 doesnt recognized it.

I have a Macbook Air 13" (mid 2012), recently i installed windows 7 with my original disk and code. I downloaded all the drivers via bootcamp assitant, however everytime the machine keeps disconnecting spontaneously from the internet, and keep saying that there is not driver for the adapter.
What can i do???

I install it according boot camp instructions. My thunderbolt adapter used to work fine with windows 7, but suddenly windows 7 did not recognize the driver of the adapter, and each time i install it, happens the same.

Is there a driver for the PXI-8310 that works with Windows 7?

The only one I can seem to find is for XP.

Hello LouisTI,
Unfortunately there is not a Windows 7 driver for the PXI-Cardbus8310, as this is a legacy device which is currently going EOL (End of Life). The XP driver for the 8310 (which you may already have found) can be downloaded here:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/id/370/lang/en
If using Win 7 is critical, we recommend the PXI-ExpressCard 8360 as a replacement for the 8310:
