Windows XP SP3 drivers?

I've bootcamped 4 imacs at work for college use. I manage to install Windows XP SP3 no problem. However, I cannot install any drivers. I'm currently using bootcamp 2, and drivers 2.1. It just says that the hardware is not there. Has anyone got any ideas?

I used bootcamp 3.0 and everything worked except my wireless and video.
I manage to get the video from windows update but wireless i cannot get to work Some help needed.

Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3

FAudigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP3! Specs
Asus a8n-sli
GB RAM
6600 GT
Audigy 4
LC Power 550 W PSU
I put in the installation CD that comes with the card. I want to install everything (full install), and mid-install I get a blue screen.
I then uninstalled everything and tried only to install the updated drivers from the website in safe-mode and still a blue screen. Should I get the dump file and send it to Creative?
How do get this card to work like it should? I also have a remote control that came together with the card.
Im currently using the onboard AC97 Realtek ALC850 soundcard.
Whats the whole procedure to make this work? Detailed please. How do I eliminate all traces of the audigy on my PC?

Re: Audigy 4 gives blue screen during install of drivers on Windows XP SP38 Perhaps you'd want to read this old thread of mine about my misadventures with the same exact card you are trying to use. IMHO that card was not worth the time and money I spent on it (even even less the time and money it caused me to spend afterwards to repair the damage it caused.

OSX CD not being read in Windows XP SP3 while trying to install drivers

I have this very frustrating problem of after smoothly installing windows XP SP3 on my Snow leopard 24" Imac, as soon as I pop in the Leopard CD to install the drivers.. nothing.
The CD drive just says CD ROM E:/, it recognizes that there is a CD in there but it does nothing and its blank.. When I explore it looks like a blank CD and can't run setup.exe or anything.
Tried with a couple of different OSX CDs and still no luck.
Annything that I am missing?

I have solved this problem. I have 2 Snow leopard disks, 1 I bought myself for my MacBook and 1 that came with the unit. It turns out the one that came with the unit (used machine..very good though) is a copy and cannot be read in any instance. I tried the copy I bought and everything went with out a glitch and all is working fine.

Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

Hi,
I have recently received a 21.5" iMac; it is the higher-end of the 21.5" standard configurations. The problems I am having, I believe, specifically relate to drivers.
Firstly, I get no sound whatsoever in Windows XP SP3 (boot camp); I have tried removing and reinstalling the drivers from the Snow Leopard install disc, but no success. I have no yellow question marks in the device manager window, but the absence of audio still persists.
Secondly, I cannot gain access to the special functions of the Apple wireless keyboard in Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. Again, I have tried reinstalling the drivers, but no success. I have read an Apple support document which states that the keys are only supported on late 2009 Macs; I own one of these Macs, so that cannot be the problem.

Problems with Windows XP SP3 in Boot Camp

After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

After several years of use very satisfied with Firefox, recently loaded version (4.0.1) severely slows my browsing, and even my system, especially when there are pictures or videos. I said that this was not the case before and my system is Windows XP SP3.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Windows XP SP3 Freezes After Installation of Nvidia Quadro FX3000

Greetings to all! I have an older Dell running Windows XP SP3. It had an Nvidia Quadro FX1000 which began going bad and I replaced with a Quadro FX3000 model. The drivers I downloaded from Nvidia's web site were the most recent qualified
drivers (yep, they were old, but still the correct drivers). After of the installation of the card and the drivers Windows boots normally to the logon screen. After typing in my password Windows tells me its loading my personal settings, then freezes
with no further activity. I'm unable to use the mouse at that point and can't shut down gracefully.
I can boot successfully into Windows via Safe Mode and log on using my password. However, the system always hangs after logging on when I just boot straight into Windows without using safe mode.
Can anyone weigh in with a possible reason for this to occur. It's driving me crazy. I'm sure the answer is right in front of me, I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
I know its almost a month since you posted, but I would boot in to safe mode, remove the display drivers and install an older version of the driver. For instance the driver that was released before the latest one.
This has done the trick for me a few times with other hardware!

Acrobat 9 Standard Crashes Windows XP SP3 -restarts computer-

I installed Acrobat 9 Standard. When I attempt to export pages from an PDF it crashes windows. There is a Blue Screen of death but it flashes to quick for me to read it. The file is not corrupted because I went to another computer and did the same thing with out crashing.
I've uninstalled the program
reinstalled the program
deleted the preferences
repaired the program
changed profiles
loaded it without extra applications
... nothing seems to keep this from crashing windows...

Help please! Keyboard not working after installing windows XP sp3 on T61

I just changed to windows XP sp3 in last weekend on my T61. From then on, when I turn on the T61 every morning, the key board is not working, sometimes I could not type password. I need reboot several times to make it work. I installed the keyboard customizer utility from some online information, however, it's not helping. I searched the lenovo support website, but there are lots of drivers there,I don't know which to pick. Does anyone had met the similar issue or know how to solve it? Thanks a million!

I have exactly the same problem. It is not related to docking for me - just regular standby/resume. A reboot solves the problem. Not exactly what you'd expect from a high-end business model. This is the first time in my over 22 years history of using computers that the keyboard fails randomly. Fix this IMIDIATELY Lenovo!

A few red flags before Windows XP SP3 Installation

Hi,
I am pretty much ready to install Windows XP SP3 onto my Mac Book Pro with Leopard (OS X 10.5.8), or at least I thought I was. A couple issues I've ran into before installation are the following; I've read that the installation of Boot Camp 2.1 (I have 2.0) is required before installing Windows XP Service Pack 3, however the Boot Camp update (BCUpdateXP.exe) is an exe file which I currently cannot open on Mac OS X. I found another topic mentioning to install the BC update after installing Windows, but this is contradicting. Is there a way to install this update file either through a dmg (which I could not find) or some sort of exe reader/expander?
Another issue is the 'Macintosh Drivers CD', or lack thereof. I know the official Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide states to use either the Mac OS X Leopard disc or the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 for the driver installation, but in other tutorials it states you can have the option to create a 'Macintosh Drivers CD' or DVD within the initial Boot Camp stages (I have a hunch this was only for the beta version(s)). I don't have the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 on me, so I was wondering if there is any other way to make the drivers cd in order to install the proper Boot Camp drivers for Windows.
The last resort is somehow obtaining the Mac OS X Install Disc 1 and Windows XP SP2 (funny how it says in the Setup Guide that Service Pack 2 is required for installation, and later on it says the same thing 'or later.')
Any comments or suggestions will be helpful.
Thanks in advance.
Brendan

Basically, SP2 is the MINIMUM any Boot Camp version will install. It has to be on the Installer disk as part of XP. You can't add SP2 later. Upgrading from SP2 to SP3 isn't supported by BootCamp 2.0 so you need to update to 2.1 or later.
If you already have Window XP-SP2 already installed on the HD then all you have to do is just update Boot Camp while booted into Windows. Control Panel/Scheduled Tasks/AppleSoftwareUpdates and it should update everything for you. If not then download 2.1 and install it on the Windows side.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL830
"""Note: This download contains complete copies of Boot Camp Windows XP Drivers (version 2.1). If you have Boot Camp drivers already installed, it will update them. If you do not have any Boot Camp drivers installed, it will install version 2.1 drivers _onto your already installed Windows OS_."""
Boot Camp is actually a Windows program, it installs all the Apple hardware drivers for Windows to use.

HP Officejet 4630 cannot install driver. Windows XP Sp3

Good evening,
I did purchase this printer earlier today and have been on this issue for a couple hours already. The box is not too far, and the printer might go back in soon !
The printer is working fine, it has been connected to my router, the light is always on, it says connected to the wifi system. The wifi connection confirmation page has printed, everything is "Success".
My problem is that anytime i try to install the drivers, the setup searches for a printer that is connected but not yet installed. It notices my printer with the good ip address, then copy a couple driver files and then tells me it fails to install the printer.
The current setup is OJ4630_198, I've found an older version and tried it but pretty much the same results, except that before it stops the installation telling me it fails to do so, it ask me to locate the HP CD on my cd drive, searching for a fax setup installation .png but fails a second later.
I'm pretty clueless, I've tried installing it manually but of course the selection of the Communication Port is somewhat tricky with a wire less printer. I noticed there is a "Create a new port" selection available in which appears an option named "Hp Discovery Port Monitor (HP 4630 series)" which is oddly my new printer. Tried it but it doesn't work.
I've reset my router, pc and printer several times, tried assigning my printer to a different port number, all ended with the same results. It connects to my wifi, but i cannot manage to install the driver for the printer. So my printer list is empty atm..
Thanks for any help,
Much appreciated

Windows XP SP3 Slow Internet, Urgent

Hello, I partitioned Windows XP SP3 on a 200 gb partition. I installed all the Boot Camp Drivers, Installed all the Windows Updates, and although my internet speed seems fine. However when i attempt to download, my download speed is around 1mbps. I checked this on speedtest . And When i load up in Leapord, my download speed is at 25 mbps. I am desperately trying to find a solution, I have already tried to re-install XP, and to no avail. Any help would be great. I'm at my wits end.
Thank you!

re: slow internet on boot camp... I have similar problem. Internet on Mac os side = 5.75 Mbps and on xp side about 1.75 mbps. I'm on xp sp3, boot camp (recent clean install). May try this driver replace idea. Any other ideas out there?
I was careful too with the procedure on install and updating to boot camp 2.1 before sp3.

How to correct installer resetting minimum restriction to windows XP SP3 or later

I am using Labview 2009 and building executables and installers that go onto systems that use windows 2000 and Windows XP SP2 and below.
Whenever I build my installer package, I get a warning:
*** WARNING ***
Cannot enforce the requested minimum operating system restriction because the deployment engine only supports Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later. Resetting minimum restriction to Windows XP Service Pack 3 or later.
I did not previously have this issue, until I recently got a new computer (windows XP => Windows 7) and had to reinstall all of my Labiew and NI systems. Ever since this, I have not been able to run my installers and executables on anything below windows XP SP3.
How can I fix this?
Solved!

I remember something about things built on Windows 7 can't work with anything before XP SP3. So I would say it is coming from the fact that you are now using Window 7.
I know it is easier said than done, but you do need to update your test systems. Computers are something that are (usually) very simple to update every 2-4 years.
In all fairness, sometimes it's the customer who applies the OS upgrade restriction. For instance, there may be some contracts that requre a recertification of a test station (and all of the software that is run on it) if anything is upgraded and they aren't willing to pay for it.
Of course, what happens then is that a piece of hardware finally breaks, that hardware has been obsolete for 20 years and any substitute hardware only has drivers for the last two operating system revisions, so you have to upgrade ANYway, but it's going to cost more money than if you did it in a controlled fashion because now you have a tester down and you are using it for your development instead of building a dev station to work all the bugs out.

Need Bootcamp 2.1 for Windows XP SP3

I installed SP3 on my windows partition and it boots up but the drivers will not install. So I found out I need boot camp 2.1 to use SP3. I need 2.1 to install 2.2, and I need snow leopard to install 3.0. How do I fix this? How can I find Boot Camp 2.1? NOT the 2.1 XP drivers, but the actual Boot Camp 2.1 software so that I can create the partition using 2.1.

I believe that there is just one version of that actual Bootcamp 2 and it is Boot Camp 2.0 that came with your Leopard disk. It includes the Boot Camp 2.0 Windows Drivers. As far as I can tell there is no such thing as Boot Camp 2.1 ro 2.2. Unfortunately, you will find people mixing the terms for Boot Camp and Boot Camp Windows Drivers. There are two updates available for the Boot Camp 2.0 Windows Drivers. You can find them at
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampwindowsx pdriversupdate21.html
and
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/bootcampdriversu pdate22forwindows.html
The 2.1 Update actually can be used as a install directly onto BootCamp without the Apple Drivers. The 2.2 Update must have the 2.1 Update already installed.
Boot Camp 3.0 is only for OSX 10 Snow Leopard. At least, that's what I've been told on this discussion group. In any case, you can only get it on a Snow Leopard install disk.
I just went through **** and Back installing Boot Camp 2 on my Mac Book Pro. See the thread in this discussion group at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2292702&tstart=0
to give you some background on the problems that I was having and the entry I made yesterday to describe the workaround that I was able to find.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2299567&tstart=0
There are Video Adapter problems. Mine was with the Radeon X1600 driver. I don't know whether there are similar problems with other video drivers.
You have an additional problem that I didn't in that you have tried to install the Boot Camp 2.1 Driver Update onto a pre-existing Windows XP SP3. I can't help you with that directly, but I did see a very interesting website during my troubleshooting that I think may help you out at
http://www.macwindows.com/bootcamp.html
There is actually a tip there labeled
"Boot Camp 2.1 and Windows XP SP3
TIP: Fixing Win XP if you accidentally install SP3 before Boot Camp 2.1"
Good Luck. I hope you can solve your problems with less pain than I had to go through.

Installed Elements 12 and need to uninstall Elements 5. Do not have Elements 5 disk. Windows XP SP3

I recently installed Photoshop Elements 12 and need to uninstall Elements 5. I am using Windows XP SP3 and when I go to "add or remove programs" and select remove, it asks me to use the original disk which I am unable to find. I would like to do a clean uninstall. Is there some type of tool or program? Please be explicit.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You don't have to uninstall Boot Camp 4 drivers before installing Boot Camp 5 drivers. Boot Camp 5 drivers will simply overwrite Boot Camp 4 drivers, so you don't have to uninstall old drivers before installing new ones and making that process easier

Paravirtualized Driver problem with Windows XP SP3

Hi,
While trying to install Oracle PV block dirvers to a fresh Windows XP SP3 system in Oracle VM 2.1.5 I get a blue screen of death. Any advice on how to overcome the problem would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,

Hi, rlomba
Thank you for your reply.
Of course I know about .Net and netfront. Moreover, I have successfully installed Win Server 2k3 as PV.
I think the problem is a bit deaper. When I skip block device I can proceed with installation, however on reboot Oracle PCI (SCSI-?), and network drivers fail to start.
A more generic question: did anybody succeed with installing Oracle PV drivers to XP? What SP was it?
Thanks in advance
