Windows drivers do not load

I've just upgraded to Yosemite. I then installed windows 7. All went well except that some of the drivers did not load. I used the Update Driver function to try to load them. I found the appropriate driver on my external hard drive that bootcamp located there and attempted to upload it with no success. Any suggestions?

This issue isn't an iMac or OS X question. Depending on how you installed Windows 7 (Boot Camp, Parallels, etc..) I'd recommend posting in the appropriate forum. If you chose Boot Camp I can ask the moderator to move your question.

  • The Firewire drivers are not loaded

    Hi,
    The title of this post says it all.
    When using system profiler I get the message " The Firewire drivers are not loaded " in red letters.
    The Mac is a 2Ghz intel. So far I have...
    1. Done all the usual maintenance. Erased the internal drive and re-installed the operating system. Re-set the PRAM. Re-erased and re-installed the operating system.
    2. Discovered that the disks that came with the machine ( purchased brand new from Apple ) will not allow me to complete a hardware test - It hangs.
    3. Wondered about being in the wrong job!
    This all points, to me at least, to a faulty logic board. If it points some one else in a different direction I would love to hear about it
    Regards
    Ian

    Hi Ian
    You might try resetting your FireWire ports, scroll down to the section: +If the issue persists, try these steps:+ in the following article:

    Not sure why the Hardware Test would hang, maybe give it a try again:

  • FireWire drivers are not loaded

    I've got a 14 month old 15" MacBook Pro, now running Leopard. Firewire has not been working for some time. I've now looked at the System Profiler and it is reporting the following against the FireWire entry:
    Warning: The FireWire drivers are not loaded.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to reinstall the drivers, and if so where do I download them from?
    Many thanks,
    Mark

    My CrapBook Pro is doing the same thing. I have had problems with the Firewire 400/800 from the start...only recently did I really want them to work. It worked maybe 1 out of 20 times...multiple devices. ALL DEVICES WORKED WITH MY G5 running Tiger (was that before leopard).
    So I brought the computer into the Genius Bar...they hooked some things view Firewire and they all showed up. I was told to bring one or more of my devices in to try them there...I get home...connect my WD HD with FW800...it appears...I connected my Plextor Burner with a movie in it...it appeared...I got excited that things might be working. Unplugged items plugged them in again...and nothing is showing up...I can still hook up the WD HD with USB...I know when I try the Western Digital HD via FW THE DRIVE KNOWS IT IS CONNECTED via lights...so I rebooted and tried it again...CRAP...nothing shows up via FW...then I too looked and found:
    FireWire Bus:
    Warning: The FireWire drivers are not loaded.
    So...Apple is finally becoming as dependable as the PC! What a shame. Sounds like no one reading this forum has been able to get an answer.

  • Lenovo g550 windows xp drivers will not load

    Help!  I purchased a Lenovo G550 yesterday and am in need of assistance.  Unfortuantely it doesn't appear that there is any way to contact Lenovo, the website doesn't show any method of even emailing them without an IBM service tag (which unless you are corporate user you can't get). 
    I purchased a lenovo g550 yesterday configuration is 3gb ram 160Gb HDD.  Upon booting the system I discovered that in fact users only get access to about 100Gb of the harddrive the rest is set up under multiple hidden drives.  I the system came with windows 7 home edition.  I need windows xp.  So through several hours of work I was able to create some unallocated space on the harddrive.  I loaded my copy of windows xp professional to this space and since windows automatically selects the drive name it is drive D: 
    I went to the lenovo website prior to loading xp and manually downloaded every driver from the site (very time consuming, I saw another way via a forum but was not able to locate it on the lenovo website).  Immendiately after loading xp and rebooting I loaded the intel chipset driver.  Then rebooted.  No other drivers will load for any of the other pieces of hardware.  All of THEM, everyone crashes with an error message that there is not enough disk space on c: to load.  I would guess that there isn't since c: is a 200mb hidden drive created by Lenovo. 
    Does anyone have a work around for this problem with the lenovo drivers?  This has turned into a multi-hour project for something very simple - putting an alternative operating system on the computer.  I cannot put xp as the c: drive because of the lenovo hidden partition is named c:.  I don't want to delete windows 7, as I expect to move to it in the next year but right now I several thousand dollars worth of software in xp and need to use that software. 
    I sure would appreciate any assistance :-)  Again the issue is the lenovo windows xp drivers, everyone of them excluding the intel chipset driver will not load under windows xp when windows xp is loaded onto the d: partition.  they all say they want to load onto the c: parition which is not an option.
    thanks in advance for any help and if anyone knows how to get in contact with lenovo would love that also.

    Well if you do not want win7 all together, then just delete all the partitions and install your XP. But if your not wanting to mess up this drive to be able to use the win7 later then just buy a cheap HDD to put XP on. --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148452 $10 off and free shipping. but being that you already tried installing XP then you already messed up win7 anyways(if you did not make the restore disks), your better off just deleting and redoing XP.

  • Windows 7 does not load the ipad bluetooth drivers

    I am trying to connect my ipad 2 to a windows 7 computer and the computer will not load the ipad blutooth drivers so a connection is never made.

    Hi Phil,
    It's funny that you say that Reflector runs on Wifi and not Bluetooth. I thought the same thing and that's why I was having a difficult time with getting this to work...on top of the bluetooth drivers not installing properly.
    When you initially connct your iPad device to your computer through bluetooth, your PC installs bluetooth drivers...you can see this by the little notifictaion you get that says this. Setting up your device...installing drivers. So you can't tell me that there are no iPad bluetooth drivers.
    You have to enable bluetooth on your ipad to get to the mirroring icon. (double tap your home button and scroll to the left. The mirroring icon should be visible and only visible if you have bluetooth turned on. Now if you run Reflector, then you should see the name of your PC that you shared through Reflector. Then you click on the mirroring app on your iPad and select the shared name on your PC and slide the mirroring toggle button to turn it on.
    I have tested this on another laptop running Windows 7 and everything installed perfectly fine...even the bluetooth drivers.
    So my conlusion is that it is the bluetooth drivers at fault here, since they didnt install properly. No matter how many times I remove the device and readd it, the bluetooth drivers do not install and I see red x's beside them.
    Not sure what is keeping the drivers from being installed.
    BTW...thanks for your reply Phil...see posting to this year old thread did me some good as you replied
    cheers,
    Tom

  • MBP Retina Windows 7 x64 drivers will not load

    I knew nothing about Mac or OSX and got my MBP running in July.
    Then later I realised I shoudl take advantage of the Solidworks capacity to run 64bit so I removed partition, got the ISO, made the Flash USB, installed Windows 7 x64 and it is now installed.
    But none of the drivers copied in. I used the latest updated Bootcamp 4.0.4 and really the first time I did this everything worked when I installed Win 7 x86 and the pc just started in Windows perfectly all drivers working (except the tap function on trackpad did not work).
    I did everything according bootcamp instructions but no luck this time the drivers did not go in (i think)
    Now my new windows 7 x64 is exactly as per my installaion disk W7 Sp1.0 x64 all there but absolute disaster the screen is not recognised I cannot even start to get the wireless working so no network no internet no help.
    I tried to run the setup.exe from the USB ( where Bootcamp made directorories and copied nicely all the files etc etc) as per the printed copy of the bootcamp installation guide (printed copy on hand) but no success
    What now please help?

    (bump) I have a similar issue. Win7 installed fine but I have a few hardware drivers which did not load, particarly the wifi driver.
    Anyone know how to handle this?
    Thanks-

  • Windows Vista will not load on Equium P300 16T ?

    Help!
    My daughter's P300 won't load windows after a CF flash memory card (containing just JPEG Images) was inserted in a USB port and withdrawn during start up.
    I get a windows error recovery page that says a recent hardware or software change is stopping windows loading.
    Two options are given 1. Launch repair 2. Start windows normally. Neither will launch windows.
    I can get the 'safe mode' screen when I press F8 at start up. When I try to start up in safe mode it just hangs after 10 seconds or so.
    I can get to the BIOS screen by pressing F12 and set to default configuration. Vista will still not load.
    I have lost the restore discs that were made on day one, and there is data on the hard drive that has not been backed up! So I am hoping there is an easy fix to this.

    Finally sorted it!
    I could not get on with WIN PE so resigned myself to losing data and doing a HDD reinstalL from the partition but could not access the HDD recovery option, I was stuffed!
    I called Toshiba to ask if replacement recovery discs could be obtained? They can and at £30 with upto 30 days delivery. The nice man at Toshiba sugested that I do A power reset. (Take out the battery, disconect power supply and hold in power button for 15 seconds). He also suggested that if I could borrow a retail Vista instalation disc I could use the repair windows feature on it.
    A power reset enabled me to start up in safe mode. A vista disc could not fix my problem but confirmed that there were corrupt files preventing start up.
    In safe mode I was still unable to do a system restore, because of the corrupt files.
    Safe mode did allow me to access and back up my data and create new recovery discs! So I was able to do a clean install having backed up my data - Bingo.
    Thanks for all your help on this guys, I hope my comments on this post will help others.

  • Windows XP, will not load past blue error screen

    Hi, been wondering for a while if anyone can help me...
    My xp system will not load past the blue error screen which appears after the computer has shut down suddenly or improperly.
    Regardless of what actions you choose to take (safe mode, most recent settings...etc) the system simply goes past the blue screen, onto the windows logo loading page, where the loading bar moves for around 10 seconds, before returning back to the blue loading page.
    So far I have tried leaving the computer for as long as a month unused whilst I was abroad, removing the battery for various amounts of time, and leaving the computer running for as long as a day.
    In the absence of a recovery disk, I have no idea how to get it back to form, and would welcome any hints or suggests, bearing in mind I am no computing genius (If you had'nt guessed). Preferably, without loosing my irreplacable pictures and videos stored on the hard drive, however that is only preferably,
    Thanks, Jay

    Hi Jay,
    i know what it's like to not able to boot even into safe mode command prompt.
    In your case I would do either of below:
    Download a bootable CD ISO called "HDD Regenerator" or [Hiren's BootCD|www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd] which includes many other great tools. Burn the ISO image onto CDR.
    1. Use the HDD Regenerator to boot the PC and use it to scan the whole HardDrive from 0, it will scan and fix all the bad sectors which may cause Windows failing to boot as systems files are corrupted. You will be suprise how great this tool can fix bad sector HDs.
    2. If above does not work, the the Hiren's BootCD to boot the PC, navigate to Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image to Clone you hard drive, you can use USB external harddrives.
    Then you can rebuild the PC with second partition large enough to store the HardDisk-IMAGE, use Ghost Explorer/etc to restore your personal files.
    I have been dealing with lots of this issues as well. Let me know if you need more help.
    Good luck!

  • N97 windows live will not load as well as others p...

    well as listed above
    i,m having a real problem getting anything to load. just wondering if i,m the only one who,s getting this problem? & could do with someone,s help please.
    to start with windows messenger live will not load at all. the message i,m getting is
    (this application requires the network usage. please start again under network coverage.)
    the problem is i,ve got phone internet & wifi coverage so why is it coming out with this? any ideas
    also i cant get many of the games that was installed to work either. that message is after hanging for a long period of time.
    (you are currently in a no coverage area. please try again later)
    didnt know i had to have internet coverage to play these games..
    last of all the menu button light is constantly glowing on & off
    i,m with 3uk & cant get any help from them at all. even the latest firmware update is not allowed as yet on my phone. was told by them that if i got the latest firmware my phones warranty would be void.
    great service indeed.
    although the games are not important. messenger is & would appreciate any feed back please...
    many thanks Ray

    Ok I can tell you the solution to your problem.
    Windows Live MSN and SKYPE are free with 3 UK, which means that you can use them even if you are not paying for internet on your phone.
    The problem with this is that you can ONLY use them via 3 network.
    When you are at home your phone is probably defaulting to WIFI and the MSN and SKYPE will try than, so instead of getting a message "ERROR YOur should use 3"  the MSN jsut hangs and does nothing.  With the old firmware you had to uninstall Windows MSN and install it again in order ofr the MSN to work again. With the new one, once you are out of scope of your WIFI it works.
    So you have a few options to use a Messenger.
    1. Do not use your WIFI (turn it off, or whatever) and then you can use Windows LIVE MSN
    or 
    2. Because you probably like me are paying the £5 for internet, forget about Windows MSN and use a different that works with WIFI and 3.  A few of them are "PALRINGO", "EBUDDY", "FRING", etc.
    Is a pain but that's the reason, for some reason the phone can not handle having some apps like the browser, etc using the WIFI and a separate connexion with 3 for SKYPE and Windows LIVE MSN.
    Good luck let me know how it goes

  • Jre 6 update 20 on 64-bit Windows 7 - Could not load the Java Virtual Machi

    Hi,
    I download and installed jre 6 update 20 (64-bit) on Windows 7 (64-bit).
    I ran a 3rd party Java application and I got the error saying 'Could not load the Java Virtual Machine.'.
    I found that the jvm.dll is installed under c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\servere folder.
    I checked the registry and the JVM is pointing to c:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\client folder.
    May questions are:
    1) Why does the registry point to the clinet folder instead of server folder?
    2) Should I change my registry entry to point to the server folder to fix my error - Could not load the Java Virtual Machine?
    3) Is there a better way to fix the issue besides chaning the regiatry?
    Thanks.

    I wrote this kin of code and this works also:

  • U300 Touchpad Driver for Windows 8 Does Not Load Properly

    I have spent a few hours with both Microsoft Premier Technical Support and (a very grumpy) Lenovo technician. They have both confirmed that the Windows 8 touchpad driver that is currently posted on the Lenovo site for the U300S does not load properly. It will, as many have reported, disable the touchpad altogether. There seems to be an issue with the loader installing files for both a Synaptics and a Cypress touchpad. This creates an apparent conflict that relegates the touchpad as useless.
    If you choose to install this driver, I would recommend that you create a store point so that it can be easily recovered.
    A standard mouse works just fine (albeit without any Win8 functionality).
    ***Lenovo should pull this damaging driver down from their site until a certified replacement can be prepared.***

    Hi, 
    If the computer is OEM, please refer to the user guid manual to know how to boot into WinRE to recovery your system. 
    Meanwhile please try to enable or disable Secure Boot by referring this article:

  • While upgrading my 3,2 8 core power Mac , it will not boot. Going from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4. There is no visible video after chime.  I need to get up and running ASAP.  Could the video drivers have not loaded. Please help and thank you. Ps. Main drive ssd.

    The Mac will not boot to a cd, Mac or disk warrior.
    It will run for  10 minutes with no video, then shut itself down.
    I've attempted Cd boot, zapping Pram, safe mode,
    My new Dell monitor power light pulses as if no video is present
    Wondering if the vid.  driver did not load during update?
    Can't seem to light one pixel, no matter what.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for reading and responding

    Update on this issue. I replaced the video card with an old one that I had and it boots fine.
    Question, if a driver were missing from the update process, would I see anything on the screen at all. I had pure black as if no signal was carried to the monitor. I'm trying to rule out hardware failure, as this card is 1.5 years old.
    thanks!!!

  • After upgrading to snow leopard my Epson printer drivers did not load and i get an error 'rasteroescpll failed'. I have tried reloading the driver to no effect. Can anyone help?

    I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard and at the end of the upgrade the printer drivers failed to load. I have since updated them myself (Epson BX305) but still get an eror message 'rasteroescpll failed'. can anyone help?
    I have an Imac previously running 5.8.0 and now running 6.3.0.
    thank you
    Hugh

    The current driver version is 8.67. 
    Delete you printer.
    Delete the folder /Library/Prnters/EPSON
    Delete the folder /Library/Caches/Epson
    Unplug your printer from your computer for 30 seconds and then plug it back in.  You should be prompted to download the new drivers.
    If all that fails, you can get the new drivers from Apple at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398
