Windows hardware wizard

I am new at this but here's my problem. I purchased a ni6601 counter timer pci bus card. I also got an eval version of labview. My intent is to program my application with borland but wanted to see what labview is all about. I installed labview first and then installed nidaq software that came with the hardware. When shutdown, install card and reboot, the windows hardware wizard pops up with found new hardware. The problem is, it can't find any drivers for the unit. I have to cancel the wizard. Looking in device manager, the unit appears with the yellow question mark (win 2k) and says no drivers installed or needed.
Now I go to MAX. My unit is there and the test panels work fine. Go into Labview and the sample programs for this unit w
ork fine too. I have not tried a borland application yet but I suspect it will run too.
Why is the windows hardware wizard coming up everytime I boot and I have to cancel the wizard.

Hello Mike,
I am suspecting that you are having a Windows permissions problem, and there are a couple of things that you can do to help and determine what the problem might be. First off, are you logged in as an administrator or as a user that is within the administrative group? If not, then please try to obtain the proper permissions so that Windows doesn't restrict what you can access and modify.
If that doesn't help any, then you should try a reinstallation of the driver. It sounds like you went about the correct installation procedure the first time, but something could have gone wrong that we are not aware of. First remove your hardware from Device Manager, and then uninstall NI-DAQ from Add/Remove Programs. Once done, shut down and remove the hardware, a
nd then reinstall. I think you know the procedure well enough, so I'll leave that there.
If the problem is still persisting, please post back with a little more information - what version of the driver, LabVIEW evaluation version, Windows Service Pack installed. It would be nice if you could even try and determine whether or not it is the hardware causing this problem, although I don't highly suspect it, by trying another plug-and-play PCI device - another NI board preferably. Also make sure that there are no conflicts with other devices which might already be installed and showing in Device Manager. If you have anti-virus software running, I also recommend disabling it during your troubleshooting experience as this type of software has caused multiple problems in the past.
I hope that things are working better for you sometime soon. Keep us up to date on your steps.

New Found Hardware Wizard on Windows XP Pro SP3

hi, can anyone help???
had iphone connecting fine on desktop with Vista, I rebooted yesterday with XP Pro SP3 (fed up with Vista hogging all memory)
Installed and opened itunes and connected iphone and got a "new found hardware wizard" that attempted to find device drivers to no avail, iphone will light up with a yellow ! in device manager for as long as the phone is switched on, as soon as it goes to standby the device manager loses it.
Have tried various USB ports (all 2.0) and have succesfully opened other USB devices plug and play including my ipod video, but for some reason XP pro sp3 and iphone 3G dont want to talk????
Any suggestions?

Make sure you have the latest iTunes version installed, but at least 7.7. Better yet, reinstall 7.7.1 to be on the safe side.
Also make sure your XP installation is fully patched with the latest fixes for SP3.
If that does not help, consider reinstalling XP, but only SP2, which seems to have no issue with iphone 3G.
XP SP3 tends to be a bit troublesome with certain hardware combinations, but it's a bit hard to say what exactly makes it act up.

This is the first time this has ever happened but I plug in any device iPod, iPhone and the computer opens up a found new hardware wizard. I can't sync any of my devices and I'm not happy. Any helpers?

I can't connect any of my devices to my iTunes. Anytime I plug one of them into my computer I get a new hardware wizard window that pops up and I can seem to load anything from an iPod or iPhone if I run the wizard. Any helpers? I've been using iTunes on this computer for a very long time and this is the first time that this wizard has shown up ever. Please help.

I have replied some one with the same problem.
If your contacts saved in the SIM, you can import them from SIM. Please see this help.

If not, you may use a third tool to recover your lost contacts.

NI-DAQmx 8.3.0f0 installed but Found New Hardware Wizard shows up when plugging in a USB-6008

I have NI-DAQmx Device Driver 8.3.0f0 installed with LabVIEW 8.2 but when I plug in a NI USB-6008 I see the "Found New Hardware Wizard" in Windows XP. Since the DAQmx driver is installed shouldn't Windows recognize the device immediately?
I cancel the driver and I get the taskbar message "A problem occurred during hardware installation. Your device may not work properly."
The USB-6008 does not appear under Devices and Interfaces in MAX.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

Ahh, I thought Windows performed an automatic search after cancel is clicked.
I clicked next and allowed Windows to search and it says:
"Cannot Start this Hardware"
There was a problem installing this hardware: USB-6008
The device cannot start. (Code 10)
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device but the results were the same.
Any ideas?

SOLVED: 1030NR - SD Card Reader launches Found New Hardware Wizard when media is inserted

I purchased the HP Mini 1000 1030NR a few days ago and have been very happy with it so far. Last night I attempted to use the integrated SD card reader to view some photos from my digital cameras SD card. When I inserted the card into the drive, Windows did its normal hardware initializations. It should have detected and installed the SD Card Reader automatically, but instead I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" wizard. Every attempt to install the driver automatically via the Wizard failed. Every SD card I tried in the reader produced the same results.
After spending 2 and a half hours online with HP support, their eventual resolution was to do a full System Restore. As owners of the HP Mini 1000 will know, this process is made difficult due to the units lack of a DVD-ROM drive. Furthermore, the problem here is clearly a missing driver. Doing a System Restore as suggested would be like swatting at a fly with a cinderblock. It may resolve the problem, but there is a much more straightforward way.
The problem is that due to the nature of the XP installation on the 1030NR,(scaled down for performance/size reasons), the linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver respository has been broken, at least as far as USB devices are concerned. I found this out after the same HP support technician suggested I uninstall all of my USB Root Hubs from Device Manager and reboot. Those never came back either. Fortunately I had created an XP restore point beforehand and quickly got my USB ports back. Of course, my SD card reader still didn't work.
The solution is to restore that linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver repository so that the operating system can "find" the USB drivers and in turn, install the necessary software components for the SD card reader. Instructions for doing this are as follows:
1. Insert an SD card into the SD card reader. The "Found New Hardware" Wizard will appear.
2. Check the radio button to not allow Windows Update to search for software. Click Next.
3. Check the radio button to "Install from a list or specific Location (Advanced). Click Next.
4. Check the radio button to "Search For the Best Driver In These Locations. Then click the checkbox "Include this location in the search."
5. Click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Windows\inf" If you cannot navigate to this folder you may type it in the box manually. Click Next.
6. Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the software driver installation. You may receive an error code at the end indicating that the device could not start. Disregard this for now. Once driver installation has been completed, reboot the computer.
7. Once the system is back up, the "Found New Hardware" wizard will probably reappear. If it doesn't, make sure the SD Card Reader has a card inserted in it. Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard and click Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for entries with either an exclamation point or a question mark. You'll probably see the SD Card Reader with an exclamation point and an "Unknown Device" with a question mark.
8. For the SD card reader, right click on it and select "Update Driver..." from the list of options. Follow steps 2 through 6 above to complete installation. At the end, the card reader should be functional (you can see it in Windows Explorer, etc.) but you'll still have an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
9. To resolve the "Unknown Device", once again go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device entry, click Update Driver and follow steps 2 through 6 above.
10. One final reboot and the SD card reader should be functional and no ? or ! warnings/errors should be present in Device Manager.
The reason for this issue in the first place is most certainly due to the way Windows XP is configured on the HP Mini 1000. Although this solution works for the 1030NR, it should also work for models in the same family that contain the 2-in-1 SD card reader. HP really needs to provide an official fix for this issue, preferably a "patch" that re-establishes the linkage between recognized hardware devices and the internal Windows XP driver repository. Their official support suggestion of doing a complete System Restore to solve the problem is impractical, heavy handed, and may in fact not solve the issue.
It took me nearly 5 hours total to resolve this problem. I hope this post saves somebody both time and trouble.

C:\Windows is the default folder for the Windows XP installation on the 1030nr. Unless changed during installation, all PC's (not just mini's) that have XP installed will have this folder present. As for the inf folder specifically, this is hidden from view in Windows Explorer unless you tick the option to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" from Tools - Folder Options - View tab.
Still, you shouldn't need to "see" this folder for the above instructions to work. When running the "Found New Hardware" wizard, you can just type the path in manually at the appropriate spot. If you truly do not have a C:\Windows\inf folder, then it sounds like something is wrong with your Windows installation and a full System Recovery may be the best option. It might be a good idea to contact HP support first before donig that though.
Does your Mini run Windows? If not, unfortunately the instructions I laid out above will not help you. I believe the "other" Mini's run some HP customized version of Ubuntu Linux. For that OS, you'll need to obtain a driver specifically for it to get the card reader working. Try the HP site for a download for the SD card reader or contact support.

Clone to New Windows Hardware: appsTier Apache Service not Created

I am trying to migrate my production 11.5.9 apps on windows to new hardware. This is a one to one clone. The only things that are changing are:
1. OS User Name
2. Server Names
3. APPL Top, COMN Top, 8.0.6 Home and iAS Home on the target server.
I have completed the move of the dbTier to the new DB Node. When I run perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier on the new server for the APPS and WEB node it completes with no errors and creates a number of non-used servers but does not create the Appace or the Forms services.
Any help would be great!!! I need to have this done before the end of the weekend for testing!!!

I reviewed the logs but did not see anything... but I am not realy sure what to tlook for.
The postclone created 11 services like...

ITunes Agreement Window and Wizard Popup

After installing the latest version of iTunes (iTunes 10), I start iTunes and it shows the iTunes agreement popup and the iTunes wizard assistant. I go through these windows and start iTunes normally.
However, after closing, restarting the computer or not, I reopen iTunes and it shows the iTunes agreement popup again and the iTunes wizard assistant.
I tried reinstalling and I still have this problem.
Anyone have this problem or know a solution/cause?

Many thanks for your reply. Yes I carried out the suggested procedure in safe mode , which did not resolve the issue and so this is what led me to set up a second User account. iTunes opened without problem in this second account and so I looked at the User-specific troubleshooting but I just could not locate the iTunes Preference files no matter how much searching I did.
I also tried uninstalling and re-installing but the problem persists. Would be very grateful for any further advice.

Spec'ing Windows Hardware for QT

I am trying to map some QT hardware requirements to currently available systems. My primary concern is processor.
From the QT requirements, For 1280x720 (720p) video at 24-30 frames per second:
(Windows)
* 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 or faster processor
* At least 512MB of RAM
* 64MB or greater video card
* Windows XP Service Pack 2 or Vista
How would this map to the 2 most common currently available laptop processor choices (Intel). I see Celeron processors and Core 2 Duo processor choices. Is there a good way to map the 2.8 GHz P4 requirement in to one of these choices? I would hate to purchase a system and have it not meet minimum requirements.

How about Linux vs Solaris? Linux wasn't as viable
an option for us a few years back, but it is now?
Any place I can go to compare the two based on cost
and other factors?Again, the comparison is going to depend heavily on particulars about your environment. For example:
- Do you have a lot of Solaris expertise in house? Do you have a lot of Linux expertise? The cost of retraining employees and of employees operating less productively for a while generally makes any operating system switch difficult to justify on a cost basis.
- Do you have software/ scripts/ etc. that run on Solaris and rely on the existence of particular utilities & APIs? Does all that code run on Linux, or would you be rewriting stuff?
- Do you use some of the high-end Solaris features that may not be available on Linux?
- Would you need support for your Linux system? If so, which of many vendors, including Oracle, would you choose?
- Would your architecture change if you moved to Linux? Would you, for example, be inclined to move to a RAC cluster of smaller servers rather than a single larger server? The economics there depend on lots of things, including the Oracle edition.

External drive help! Need a hardware wizard!

Hello,
I have a brand new 500GB external that tipped over while it was spinning. It got ruined with about 350GB of info on it. I have in the past used Drive saver and spent over $800 to retreive info on a 250GB drive, and this time I was not about to shell out the $1200bucks they want to retreivefrom the 500GB.
I am aware that the following will void my warranty.
I posted in the past here, and someone talked to me about replacing the plates from one drives to another. I opened the damaged drive and noticed the reading arm had skipped off the hard disk plates, and that the disk edges were damaged. The poster, suggested that the reading arm could be damaged. I figured that I'm willing to buy a new drive for $140 (same as the other one) and risk the $140 and attempt to replace the 3 plates from the inside the damaged drive to the inside of the new drive.
Well it could not read it and got the error message that the drive could not be read and did I want to initialize it. I clicked yes, and used disk utility to initialize it, and got error message :"Disk erase failed input/output error". Although the icon of the drive appears in disk utility, it reads next to it" 2.0TB DMI" it is a 500GB.
So now I am left with what I feared, is 2 X 500GB not recognized by the computer and not initializeable.
Anyone knows a magic approach to this hardware problem? With technologies becoming available to the common "mortal" out there, is there something out there I could use to get my drives back to normal.... Maybe I could buy a $300 piece of hardware even if it was $500... it would be cheaper that using Drive saver. .... How does Drive saver do it?
Do the 3 plates have to be alligned in a certain way to be operational?
I need Magic Tom!

Over in another forum (can't remember which) a color expert was saying that if you want to be able to accurately calibrate an LED-backlit display, make sure you get a calibrator that's a spectrophotometer like the ColorMunki, instead of the colorimeter that's inside most inexpensive calibrators.

New hardware wizard can't find creat

my Zen microphoto went on the blink. upon trying to reset it appears to be hosed. Downloaded the new firmware for it but when I use the script it says the device isn't plugged in. upon plugging it in no change, if I reboot the zen, the new hw wizard asks for the original cd or location. Can't find the cd is there another place i can go to get this driver or whatever is on the installation cd? Ithink once this system recognizes the device the fw load will be fine.

Here's what I did
1. Uninstalled EVERYTHING (& restarted PC)
2.Downloaded the latest iPod Updater AND iTunes from Apple's Site (I didn't use the enclosed CD this time!)
3. Installed the new iTunes
4. Installed the NEW iPod updater
5. Plugged in the iPod (after doing a "reset")
6. From then on..I have to open iTunes FIRST before plugging in the iPod..(I think it's a bug in their software..shocking..eh?...)..This worked for me..If I just plug in the iPod first..without opening iTunes first..well..don't ask...)

Hardware Wizard is unable to Install... Why? Is there a Blackberry Support Line???

My PC recognizes when I insert the USB connection to my Curve 9300 however it does not complete the set up due to "Cannot creat a stable subkey under a volatile parent key".

Check it via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) on Snow Leopard:
If that says there's a problem, too, there's likely a problem.
Be sure your backups are up-to-date, and let Apple have a look at it: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/

Blue screen of death when i go to sync

I got an ipod classsic 6th generation. When I connect it to itunes it begins to sync but then it freezes and goes to the blue screen of death. Numbers appear which I will post later. Please help!

There IS another way to try this.
Boot to Windows and right-click My Computer or My Documents and open as "explore". Insert the Leopard disk. If it offers to install STOP it. Click on the LEFT side the plus sign next to the machine's DVD drive icon (the reason we opened the "explore" style directory). The Boot Camp files are now passive but exposed. Next right click My Computer and click properties. Next hardware and then device manager. Now you can one-by-one install the drivers using Windows hardware wizard. You might even want to drag the contents of the Leopard disk (drivers) right on to your (Windows) "desktop". In device manager open Human Interface Devices - you will find Apple Keyboard or whatever an iMac has there. Rightclick and hit Update Driver - the Wizard opens. Click 'no - not this time' and continue. Click 'install from a specific location' and continue. Next the Wizard gives you a 'browse location' option. Just click around until you locate the Boot Camp drivers in your disk or desktop and proceed - it will update, I promise you.

Blue Screen of Death when I try to install Leopard drivers.

So, I've been able to use Boot Camp to install Windows XP, SP 2 on my new 20-inch aluminum iMac. This is the same version (same disk, in fact) of Windows that I installed on my old 17-inch iMac, and it worked perfectly then.
After I finish the Windows installation, and put the Leopard disk in to install the drivers, nothing happens. No Autoplay. When I go into My Computer, and double-click on the cd, the installation process starts. After cycling through 4 drivers, I get the blue screen of death and the computer reboots.
When everything restarts, Windows tells me that I suffered an error. I can't send an error report off, because Windows won't acknowledge my wireless internet connection yet, without the Apple drivers.
I've tried to transfer the Boot Camp 2.1 update to the Windows partition via 2g flash drive, and no luck. Trying to run the update doesn't do anything, the icon simply lights up for a moment and then un-highlights. Nothing happens.
I'm really confused, I didn't have ANY problems like this on my last iMac. Any help anyone might have would be greatly appreciated.

There IS another way to try this.
Boot to Windows and right-click My Computer or My Documents and open as "explore". Insert the Leopard disk. If it offers to install STOP it. Click on the LEFT side the plus sign next to the machine's DVD drive icon (the reason we opened the "explore" style directory). The Boot Camp files are now passive but exposed.

Cable, seems to be stuck in step 2?

I purchased a CA-53 CA53 USB DATA CABLE and driver. The driver seemed to install perfectly and I can open the PC Suite main options center. I have tried several times unsuccessfully to connect my Nokia (6126) to the computer using the data cable to no avail. The "Connect Cable" instruction page (which reads "Please connect your cable to the computer and the mobile device to the cable") goes nowhere after 40 minutes of connection. I read under "Help" that the drivers need to install during this first connection (correct?) but the hourglass keeps running and "NEXT" never becomes clickable. Any ideas? Am I missing the obvious?

Try this:
1. Go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and check if Nokia Connectivity Cable Driver and PC Connectivity Solutions are installed.
2. Without starting PC Suite first, connect your phone via USB cable.
3. Wait for Windows Hardware Wizard or maybe start it from Control Panel, Add Hardware. Point it to install from "C:\Program Files\Nokia\Connectivity Cable Driver". This is where PC Suite installs the cable drivers.
Did this after upgrading to PC Suite to v7.1.18.0. It seems the installer did not automatically patch this part.
