DriverMax Now Works With 32 And 64-bit Drivers
I am one of the developers of DriverMax. DriverMax is a good driver update application, but until now it only worked for 32-bit versions of Windows. The latest version of DriverMax (5.2) has added support for 64-bit versions of Windows.

Wireless Usb/pci Adapter That Works With 64 Bit Win7
I've just built a new core-i7 system running Win7 64 bit, but none of my existing wireless adapters are able to get a working internet connection. I have an Airlink wirelessN, Dlink wireless g, and an Encore PCI card. None of it worked, and after some Googling, I found that this is a widespread problem - many of these devices simply do not work in Windows 7 64 bit. I have no clue if this is a drivers problem that simply will take some time for manufacturers to address. But Windows 7 beta has already been out for a while, so this is discouraging. Are there any existing known reliable wireless adapters (specific models) that work with Windows 7 64 bit? I'm desperate to find one that works, preferably something I can get at a store (Frys or Best Buy) so I can test it immediately.

Getting Ready For Installing - Drivermax Use?
I have a question & hope it's not a duplicate... I plan to install Windows 7 64 bit when I get my copy in Oct. I will do a clean install on a virgin hard drive (WD Scorpio) and have seen a number of posts advising to get drivers to hand before starting the install. My question is ... can a tool such as Drivermax be used now (ie on my current (Win XP Pro 32 bit) set up) to download the drivers I will require when I am on my Win 7 64 bit platform? ie can I tell (eg) Drivermax to not find Win XP 32 bit drivers but to find Win 7 64 bit drivers, even though Drivermax will no doubt detect that the request is coming from a Win XP 32 bit system, if you see what I mean... - does the program default to the OS it detects, or can you override that?

FIX C-Media Drivers (works With Club3D Theatron)
Just signed up to share this with you all, since you helped me with 7 so much. Normaly I'm such a noob, but I guess I fixed the C-Media chipset problem. It's rather easy. It appears that the HT Omega Striker 7.1 (C-Media chipset) works perfectly with Windows 7 RC. So I downloaded the driver (here HT Omega - Driver Downloads) for my Club3D Theatron DD (also C-Media chipset). After that I had the Xear3D working. Than I installed the drivers to my own soundcard. Somehow it didn't update the Xear3D program. After assigning the sounds to digital out in the control panel and in Xear3D, I have full working 5.1 out via toslink.

Guide To Drivers For Upgrading Dell Inspiron 1525 From Vista 32-bit To Win7 64-bit
guide to drivers for upgrading a Dell Inspiron 1525 from Vista 32-bit to Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit. The Dell Inspiron 1525 is an extremely popular model of laptop and is a very good choice for a Dual-Core cpu at a relatively good price point. However, it has one very big drawback, it ships with only a 32 bit OS. Simply put, a dual-core cpu is a 64-bit processor and the operating system that comes with the laptop is Microsoft Vista Home, which operates at 32-bits. Youâve paid for four lanes of highway, but youâre only using two! Upgrading to Windows XP 64 bit, Vista 64 bit, or even the Windows 7 beta (test version) 64 bit operating system is the only way to take advantage of the additional speed youâve paid for. And it is worth it. Dell does not support, suggest, or recommend upgrading your OS to anything other than the factory installed OS. So if you upgrade, youâre on your own. If youâre unsure of how this may affect your warranty, I strongly suggest you contact Dell before doing any modification of your OS. I also highly suggest you back up all of your data, either to an online storage spot or to cd/dvd discs where you can easily access it after the upgrade is complete. (NOTE: I recommend you make that a bi-weekly, if not a bi-daily, habit) Backup! Backup! Backup! Next make sure you have all of the original CDâs and installation material that came with your laptop in case you want to restore the original settings later on. There are hundreds of online guides that will walk you through the upgrade process. Google it and you should be able to find one that works for you. Dell does not offer a readily available list of drivers for 64-bit operating systems. The purpose of this here is simply to give a list of drivers that I downloaded that worked for me. After doing a fresh, clean install of Vista 64-bit, I got out the Driver Installation disk that came with my Inspiron 1525. On that disk, there are several drivers that are already 64-bit compatible. Insert the disk and select Vista 64 bit under Operating System. Click on extract for each driver you want and under the View pane it will tell you if it is 64-bit compatible. Some drivers under the Vista 32 bit section will also show if they are compatible with 64 bit. Install each of the drivers that meet the criteria. Alternatively, you can go to the Dell Website and enter your Service Tag number (from the back of the laptop) and Dell will provide you a list of all drivers that shipped with your laptop. Click on each one and select the Compatibility option to see if it is 64 bit or not. If it is, download and install. As I said before, Dell does not have a readily available list of drivers that may be needed after a clean install of a 64 bit OS. Here I will offer the drivers that I hunted down that worked for my installation of both Vista 64 bit and Windows 7 beta 64 bit. These drivers are not necessarily listed as being for the Inspiron 1525, but I have installed them and they provide the same functionality on the 1525 as their 32-bit counterparts. To find them, simply go to Dellâs website, in the drop down box next to the search bar select âSupport and Helpâ and type the R number in the search bar. The driver should be the first one listed. Click and download. Once downloaded, double click to install. That simple. Important: Dell Support Center does not work with 64 bit OS. Dell DataSafe Online works, but not very well. For online backup, try MOXY. Dell Media Direct 3.5 may be permanently deleted from your system if you upgrade and may not fully re-install even when performing a complete re-install via the reinstallation disk provided by Dell. Â A few other things that Iâd like to mention. First, is that you may find it difficult for some of your applications or software to work with a 64 bit OS. Try Compatibility mode. This will work for probably 60% - 80% of all software. For the rest, itâs hit or miss. Check the softwaresâ website for suggestions. Secondly, if your Inspiron 1525 has a built in webcam, try this: When installing, change the default installation directory from âC:ProgramFiles (x86)Dellâ to just âC:Program FilesDellâ. This simple change was all that was needed to fix a very pesky problem which was preventing me from using the Webcam. And if you find any other software giving you a hard time, ie: ScreenSavers, this solution may well work for them too. Third, you may need to re-install the Sigmatel STAC 92xx C-Major HD Audio driver after you install the webcam to get the built-in microphone to work correctly. During one install, I had to do this, during another I didnât. So I just offer it up as a suggestion if needed. Â NOTE: You can obtain a free test version of Windows 7 beta from Microsoft, but they do warn that its license expires in August of 2009 and you will need to uninstall it after that point. Therefore, I only recommend using Windows 7 for those who are technically inclined. Stick with Vista if you donât want to, or donât like to, install a clean copy of the OS every few months. I will strongly urge you to purchase a copy of Windows 7 once it becomes commercially available as I have almost nothing but good things to say about the beta (test) version. Iâm pretty sure the bag of chips will be included in the price.

Win 7 64 Bit XP Mode And A Printer With 32 Bit Drivers
Hoping that Win 7 and XP mode will solve this problem: A while back i installed Vista 64 on my gaming system and upon installing my printer (Konica Minolta Page pro 1350w) I found out that there were drivers for it, Konica Minolta won't make 64bit drivers for it and trying to use Generic or similar Konica Minolta modiels with 64bit drivers hasn't worked for me. I have found some who have had success (but they are sharing through a another PC) I have it connected to a USR Router with a Built in usb Print server. I need to keep it this way to maintain its usage.But the question is can I install XP Mode on a 64bit Win 7 setup and use this printer this way?

32-bit Printer Drivers
I have an HP OfficeJet 5610. Both printer and scanner work perfectly on my main computer with 64-bit Windows 7, but when I try to print something from my dad's laptop (XP 32-bit) it gives me "unknown error"-type messages. I found out that I need to install the 32-bit drivers on Windows 7, but where do I find them? I never installed anything in the first place; the normal 64-bit drivers came with the OS. My Windows CD has both versions, so it must have the 32-bit drivers for my printer... but where?

Creative Drivers At Only 32 Bit
So my creative sound drivers (newest from the website) only seem to be running at 32 bit. Is this going to affect sound quality or cause problems at all? Is there any way to get them working at 64 bit? Will this affect performance in games? I can't use the beta drivers that are posted because the X-Fi Titanium isn't listed there (unless there was an omission).

Monitor Drivers - 32-bit
I just completed the build of a new system and have the Windows 7 RTM software loaded on the system. Since the system is new I just have it connected to an old tube monitor which isn't so great. I was looking at getting a new 23 inch LCD that can do 1920 x 1080 but I'm wondering if I'm going to need a specific driver for the monitor or whether Windows 7 will see it automatically as plug and play? So far one monitor I'm looking at only has a driver for 32-bit Vista and my machine is 64 bit. The other monitors didn't have any drivers so I'm worried about buying something now. Should I be concerned?

ATI 64 Bit Drivers
I have tried using ATI 64-bit drivers. I tried the Windows 7 ones and then, in frustration tried the Vista ones I used when Windows 7 was in beta. Every time they try to install, I get an error message saying that the INF file cannot be found and then the installation fails. This also means that every time I boot up the CCC Host fails twice and tries to send reports to Microsoft, which whether I allow it or not takes away from time I could be using my computer. I suspect that some ATI driver I used in Win 7 beta is still there but that the RC does not know it (and thus cannot use it). I don't see it showing up anywhere so I can uninstall it to make life easier for the new driver install. Yes, I know you don't usually have to uninstall an old driver for a new one, but in this case I was willing. I did not follow Microsoft's directions for installing the RC. I was not supposed to upgrade from my version of the beta, but read about a workaround and I didn't want to have to reinstall my programs. This may have been what caused this problem. The question is : does anyone know how to fix it short of reformating and reinstalling Windows 7 and all my programs?

Canon LBP5000 64-bit Drivers
Anyone knows what Canon is gonna do about the fact they don't have 64-bit drivers for this printer? Anyone some information on this? I know there are no Vista (64-bit) drivers either. This is the only piece of hardware which is not functional with Windows 7 RC (64-bit). This is a great printer, so I will stick to XP if no solution is given by Canon. But maybe someone has some official info from Canon regarding this issue .

64 Bit Twain Drivers D1250u2f
Have been struggling with Canoscan drivers. My not too old d1250u2f Canon scanner seems destined for the scrap heap because there is not a 64 bit TWAIN driver to be had out there anywhere. I managed to drag the Scangear toolbox off the original CD, but the many drivers I've tried from the net never install properly or work at all. Has anyone figured out a work-around yet? By the way, is it just me, or is it really annoying to find so many links going to the ParetoLogic Pay-To-Fix-Your-Drivers link?

Canon D 860 Win7 64 Bit Drivers
Does any one have a fix for a Canon D860 Image class multifunction copier/printer? It is recognized as a USB connection, but Canon has no windows 7 64 bit driver for it. I also hear the printer is being discontinued even though the price is the same as I paid for 3 years ago. It is a great photocopier and printer. Well it used to be a good printer! I have already tried windows updating and I have driver detective as well. Struck out on all fronts. I looked at someone else's thread and I sent Canon support yesterday. They have not responded although they acknowledged the E-mail. Yeah, I guess this old bird is being sent to the old age home.

Unsigned Drivers Questions On 64-bit Win7
I currently have an old P4 running 32-bit Windows 7 RC. I dont think I can put 64-bit on that machine, but I am considering 64-bit on the retail version when it is released in October. I tested about thirty 32-bit shareware and freeware applications on 32-bit Windows 7 RC and they all work well. My questions concern 32-bit drivers and unsigned 32-bit and 64-bit drivers on Windows 7 64-bit retail. I have seen references to a BCedit command. I ran Bcdedit /set Bcdedit nointegritychecks ON on my Vista SP2 machine and it ran successfully. I have not tested what it will let me do as I now have no Vista driver issues. Here are my questions: Which of these is the correct command to disable the signature check on Windows 7 RC? bcdedit /set loadoptions DISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcedit SET TESTSIGN NO Is there any reason to use the correct command rather than using F8 during the boot process? Does the correct command work for both unsigned 32-bit and unsigned 64-bit drivers on a 64-bit Windows 7 system? Is the correct command useful on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 for driver signing issues generally? I assume the command works for only 1 boot cycle. Given that, is there any reason to run a command to re-enable the driver signing check if one reboots again after the driver installation? Is there any other solution other than third party software, which I would prefer to avoid as I dont expect to run into a driver issue frequently? What is a decent estimate of how many of my 32-bit applications that work well on 32-bit Vista SP2 will install and work well on 64-bit Windows 7 retail, assuming I use the correct command to disable the signature check?

64 Bit AMD RAID Drivers Not Recognized
I've been using 32bit Win7 since the first beta and decided yesterday to try running the 64bit version. In readyness I made sure I had 64bit copies of all drivers needed..A problem arose when I got to the 'load drivers' part of the installation and try as I may the SATA/RAID drivers would not be recognised. Usually I have the SATA/RAID drivers copied onto a floppy but the installation process wouldn't see them and I kept getting a message about it not finding any 'signed' drivers. I made several attempts trying different driver versions as well as using different media to install with. When I try vista 64bit it see's the driver correctly it just seems to be this version of 7 or is it me? Does anyone else have any experience of this problem and found a solution? Spec:AMD PII 940GA-MA790X-DS4160GB RAID 0ATI HD4870 512MB3GB RAM XMS2 DDR2 800S/B Audigy
