How Do I Replace A Win7 Driver ?
Jul 8, 2009
I did a clean install of Windows 7 RC on a Dell 1545 which had been running Vista Basic.
All was well except that the DVD writer vanished from explorer and Device Manager at random intervals.
I re-installed the Vista Basic and the drive worked perfectly. I backed up the driver so I have a cdrom.inf and cdrom.sys from the working Vista system.
I then upgraded the Vista system to Windows 7 and sure enough the DVD drive problems came back.
I cannot find a way of replacing the Windows 7 driver with mt nice working Vista driver.
I can't update it as Windows 7 says the current one is the best, I can't delete the driver because apparently I need TrustedInstaller permissions, I can't give myself permissions as Windows 7 doesn't give me the option under the security tab on the driver folder.

I purchased a pair of FX-7s and I'll be moving to Win7 x64 soon. I'd like to keep using them but it appears no such driver has been released by ABS. Can anyone help me locate a beta driver or something that may allow me to use them with my upgrade?

Just upgraded my Compaq Persario SR1550TX to Window 7 32 bit. The NIC card was not recognized. After chatting with HP they said there is no driver, as of yet, for the built-in Motherboard NIC for windows 7, good luck. (RealTek Sis)
So i went out and bought a Trendnet TEG-PCITXR NIC card. Windows Compatibility Website says it is compatible for Windows 7. After a reply from Trendnet technical support, there is no driver for Windows 7 for the NIC card.
Can anyone recommend a cheap NIC PCI card that has windows 7 driver? I have tried D-Link, Netgear and a lot of others but when I see if they have the driver for windows 7 they do not.
Anything under $25 bucks would be great. After 3 days of struggles any suggestions would be nice!

I have purchased and downloaded both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows7 Professional (no CDs or media here only download version)
I sucessfully upgraded from Vista 32 to Windows 7 32
Then I upgraded my hard disk (140Gb 500GB) and RAM (3GB to to 4GB)
Now I would like to go from Windows 7 32bit to 64bit
When I try and run the Windows 7-P-retail-en-us.x64.exe file it upacks the box then stops with this error:"We are unable to create or save files in the folder in which this application was downloaded. Please check the folder properties to make sure that you have security permission on the folder to write flies and that that folder is not read only".
I am the System Admin and I have full rights, and have moved the exe and the setup box files to My Documentsand I have modified the directory properties/attributes but I still get the same error over and over.
I searched the posts and some people stated one needs a clean install others say you can upgrade from any version so I am trying the upgrade here especially since the upgrade from Vista 32 to Windows 7 32 was smooth and did require all the extra work of a reinstall.

I tried to install the HP driver for a Photosmart 3210 all-in-one printer (Vista 64 bit version) and it worked with the compatibility mode.
Now the printer/scanner works, but everytime I boot it will try to update the driver, then it fails and tell me that the driver could not be installed. What should I do?

I am having a problem with windows 7 Home premium. I have a PC with 3 ATI TV Wonder HD 600 USB ATSC tuners installed.
Everything works great, I can record three shows at once, with no issues on them, the problem comes when I let the PC sleep or hibernate. When it wakes from sleep - only one of the three tuners will work. I can go in and see that the signal strength on two of the tuners is showing red, while one shows green. If I reboot, they all show green in the signal strength and will work again.
I have tried plugging them into different USB hubs, problem persists.
I have tried the ATI drivers for the ATI USB 600 cards, and have tried the diamonmm drivers for the cards, and both still have the same issue. I have tried updating the vidoe drivers on my PC for the video card and problem persists.
I would really like the PC to go to sleep, but at this point it appears it will need to be on 24/7 in order to record with any reliability. Has anyone else seen this issue? any resolution? any suggestions?

Getting the following "issue" and not sure how to proceed?
I went to intel and installed all the latest Windows 7 64bit drivers
I verified I have the latest bios from intel
I have the Intel DP35DP
I also am getting a PCI Simple Communication Controller that I can't find a driver for..I assume this is the old dell modem I have installed (Conexant RS56/SP-PCI - R6793-17)

When I try to change the resolution using the standard Win 7 drivers - the screens go black and I have to restore the OS (the system doesn't crash as such). When I install the latest nVidia Driver (191.07) the same thing happens - garbled screen for a few seconds then blackness (in fact the monitors show they are not receiving a signal)
Has anyone else experienced this? Is there something else I need to upgrade or install first?

I'm looking for a soundcard driver for my older Audigy SB 1394, using Win 7 Build 7100. I was able to get the sound working using Build 7000, but have been unsuccessful with the latest Win 7 Beta.
I think I've tried five or six drivers, and none have worked.
It doesn't appear that Win 7 is even recognizing that I have a soundcard, which could be the real problem. I tried moving the card to a different slot and running a hardware search, but nothing has worked.

I am wondering if someone can tell me the procedure for installing the driver for the HP deskjet 920c in Windows 7. It was reported that it is possible to use this driver for the HP deskjet 916C, which I have since 2002. The 916c was the "ALDI" - version of the 920c. I am searching for this driver, but the HP page does not offer me a download.
Also the list in Win 7 does not show me this driver in my German Windows 7 professional SB version.

I have a Sapphire Radeon HD3850 AGP card in my system but windows will not install the driver from the latest release of the ATI Catalyst driver install. Instead it defaults to the Standard VGA
From what i have read on these forums i may need to change some information the CH87739.inf file for the driver.
I see a memeber called torrentg had posted a modified .inf file but the download limit has been reached. Is there any chance of posting again? Or perhaps positing its contents into the replay.
