Installed Windows 7 On D:, Now Peripherals Don't Work

Oct 29, 2010

I just bought Windows 7 to install on my Windows XP PC.When the computer was first set up, two sectors were made on the hard drive C: (small space to hold operating system) and D: (the rest, large space). C: contained XP.C: was too full to allow Win7 upgrade to this, so I allowed it to be installed on D:.I dont seem to be able to delete XP from C:, or to reformat C: to clear it.Now, Win 7 boots up but1) the keyboard does not respond before Win 7 starts (eg in the pre-windows questions about choosing the required operating system, 'last good configuration', etc)2) the sound does not work3) the printer doesn't work.I guess there is some information on C: that is used to run these ports and Win 7 cant now see them. Or something....erm. So:1) How do I fix the problems with the peripherals?2) How do I reformat C: or put Win7 on C:, if thats the solution? I did eventually delete somestuff from C: so there maybe enough room now.HiI just bought Windows 7 to install on my Windows XP PC.When the computer was first set up, two sectors were made on the hard drive C: (small space to hold operating system) and D: (the rest, large space).

Peripherals Stop Responding

Jan 3, 2012

I have a new problem that is totally freaking me out. When i'm using my system, usually while using Ableton Live 8 (but not at all limited to), my mouse and keyboard stop responding. The system is still working, if for instance a song is playing then it will continue to do so, etc. I just can't move my mouse and can't do anything with my keyboard. Restarting fixes the issue. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Today, a new symptom: while doing normal browsing my mouse freezes for just about a second. Then I hear the same sound you hear when you connect a new device into any usb port. And then the mouse works again.

Windows 7 Installed Asus Wi-Fi Adapter, However It Doesn't Work

May 19, 2012

I've installed ASUS Wi-Fi USB adapter (model USB-N13) for LAN. There is Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Through control panel I see that adapter works normally and the drivers are the latest. However my PC doesn't see the adapter - the ASUS utility notices me "ASUS Wireless LAN card is taken apart from your desktop PC".I have the same Wi-Fi adapter at another my PC with Windows 7 Home Basic, and everything works nice. Of course I changed these adapters between my computers. Conclusion is both adapters are working good. The same models, the same drivers. Actually I don't understand where is the mistake?

Installed Windows 7 Ultimate On Dell M1330 And Audio Does Not Work?

May 27, 2011

I recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate on my Dell M1330 and my audio doesnt work (though my headphone jack works). I have looked at several other forums for solutions for this problem, installed several drivers (including but not limited to, R147073, R167846, R171786, and what ever driver dell support recommended me install) and I had my speakers and motherboard replaced. I am pretty sure its a windows 7 problem (according to Dell tech support and my research)

Device Status - No Driver Installed But Driver IS Installed

Sep 19, 2012

Every now and then my WiFi stops working, and if I go to dev mgr, the General tab tells me that "No drivers are installed for this device" for device status. On the other tabs, however, I have all the details on the installed driver, and if I ask Windows to update the driver, it tells me that the best driver is already installed. The problem is solved by rebooting, but I find that annoying. I'd like to figure out WHY it does that. I've saved earlier versions of that particular driver from over the last three years, and the problem occurs with all of the drivers. This is a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit system. The driver is an Intel driver; the one installed at this moment (it just happened again, and I have not rebooted, since I had a powerline enet outlet handy), and the version of the Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN is 14.3.1. I have other versions of that driver saved, from 13.2.1.5 to 15.1.1_Ds64. I had reverted to the 14.3.1 because the more recent versions seemed to be worse about the driver disabling itself or whatever it is doing.Coincidentally with this, the event viewer shows that mmc.exe was terminated because it was hanging. I had just run sfc yesterday, and there are no corrupt files that Windows cannot fix, and there weren't even any corrupt files that it DID fix.

Find Out If The Windows 7 That Is Installed Is OEM Or Not

Aug 14, 2012

An ex coworker of mine installed Windows 7 Pro on a pc for one of our clients, which was never activated. Now it's 30 days later and it's asking for the key. The sticker with the Windows 7 Pro OEM key on the side of the box is rather illegible. I input the key in an attempt to activate, but it fails. My issue is I don't know if I'm putting in the wrong key or the Windows 7 Pro that was installed is not OEM version. Is there an easy way for me to tell if it is OEM or not without having to reinstall?

Windows 7 Items Cannot Be Installed?

Dec 22, 2010

FI have a Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer with 6 GB of DDR2 and an Intel Core Quad processor. My problem started when the beta for Office 2010 came out. My computer came pre-installed with Office 2007 so I wanted to try the new and it wouldn't install. I didn't really care too much because I don't use Word or anything too much. But when I tried to reinstall Office 2007 I got the same error. Error 1935. Over a period of three days I spent with Microsoft Tech to just lead me to call Gateway about the problem. I figured it was a Microsoft Office thing, but recently, I tried to install Microsoft C++ and something else that another program relied on. Another error. And just today, I tried to update my Anti-Virus and I got this, "Installation of the Microsoft Runtime Redistributable Kit has failed.The probable cause is a Windows update running in parallel." So I updated my computer, with 2 unnecessary updates, and restarted. Same error.

So I made a repair disk and ran it, still the same problem. I've looked all over the web fornothing credible has worked. I have already deleted and un installed everything off my computer that isn't necessary for it to work. I just want to type up my essay with the comfort of not having to try to format things in WordPad.

How To Get IE8 Back On Windows 7 After IE9 Installed

Feb 18, 2012

How to get IE8 back on Windows 7 after IE9 was installed.

- Go to start > control panel > program and features > From the left menu select > Turn Windows Features on or off Deselect IE9
- When asked to reboot > reboot
- Go to start > all programs > windows update > on the bottom left in that screen you see Installed updates, click it Now search for the Internet explorer 9 and possibly the language pack

If you have the language pack installed deinstall this First (no need to reboot, continue your work) and then deinstall Internet Explorer 9, reboot. Now you have your Internet Explorer 8 back. Possibly updates will need to be installed.
