Missing Two Drivers After Downgrading PC To Windows 7?
Feb 3, 2013
i Just purchased a HP Envy dv6t 7200 Quad Edition, which is not a Bad PC for HP but it came pre-installed with windows 8. i recently downgraded it to windows 7 and have been using most of the drivers from the HP Pavilion dv6t-7000 which came with windows 7 but i seem to be missing two drivers that i have not been able to find: One Unknown Driver one PCI Device Driver

I've been mulling this over for awhile and I'm throwing it out for discussion. We all have been playing with Windows 7 Ultimate for months now regardless of the build. Now when we get our Windows 7 HP or pro 10/22 will it let us downgrade from ultimate to Pro for example or is it really clean install time. We all know what a pain it is rebuilding our systems. Or is upgrading from ultimate to ultimate the ony way to avoid the pain of rebuilding our systems.
yeah i upgraded to windows 7 last week but i cant play a few games of mine now because the driver updates for my computer is for only vista operating systems...
since i have to go back down to windows vista home premium i had a question, how can i ERASE my entire C drive completely and start fresh with a new windows vista installation disk?
Basically I'm having all sorts of problems with blue screens and stop errors on starting up my system (bought as windows 7) and it seems it might be a driver problem.I would re-install windows 7 but I don't have the disc for this, I do however have an old vista disk.My question is if I were to boot from CD and install vista, if it were to actually work and get me onto the system, does it wipe clean the hard drive? As there are many photos and such on there I would like to keep.
I'm trying to install Epicor Active planner on a Window 7 OS 64-bit architecture machine. The installation is not successful and instead the screen shot on which the following displays:"This install require a 32-bit archtecture". What procedure should I follow to change a 64-bit Window 7 OS architecture to 32-bit Window 7 OS architecture?
I have a computer that is to be decommissioned here at the office, which is to say that it will no longer be used for work. The computer is to be given to a local school. The problem now is that it has been running Windows 7 Enterprise, and the license will expire in a few months. According to this site, [URL], Enterprise can be downgraded into Professional. However I can't seem to find a way to do this. Is this a free service, or do I have to purchase the license again? Customers licensed for use of Windows 7 Enterprise are generally licensed for Windows 7 Professional, which can be downgraded to Windows Vista Business, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 3.51, Windows 98, or Windows 95 operating system. You would not, however, be able to downgrade to Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Home Premium, or other consumer (Full Packaged Product - FPP) versions of Windows as they are different product editions and not prior versions of Windows 7 Professional.I have a legitimate Win 7-Ultimate license on my own computer, but I do not have the install CD for it (at the moment).
I'm planning to downgrade to vista, (don't ask why) and I was wondering if I will keep the files I already have (images, music, documents) in a Windows.old folder, because I remember having that when I reformatted Windows 7 or something like that.The downgrade to Vista is built in my Samsung notebook (F4 on Startup to repair computer) but I have images/music on this laptop that I can't lose, and I don't have any USB's or hard drives I can use at this moment.
PC#1 already has Win7 Pro installed on it.I'm building PC#2 and have bought Win7 Home Premium.I want Pro on PC#2, and Home Prem on PC#1. Both OS's are retail box versions, not OEM.I want to downgrade PC#1 from Win7 Pro to Win7 Home Premium without reinstalling. I figure I can change the key on PC#1 to the Home Prem key, so I can use the Pro key on PC#2. Is this as stupid as I think it is? (I won't be offended if you say yes)
I have a vaio (svs15125cxb) that comes with win 8 installed. I would really like to go back to my w7 x64 but I can't. I disable safe boot, and then when windows 7 gets to the startup screen it freezes. I removed external hardware and tried different ways with no success.
I have Windows 7. I'm trying to downgrade to Vista and re-upgrade to 7. My laptop won't even boot up at all because I apparently have a bad hard drive. I have both DVDs to boot it up but I can't even get past the starting windows screen. I also have the original Drivers and Utilities DVD for my laptop that came with it. I'm not sure if I should attempt to boot the Drivers DVD to repair the damaged hard drive or just try to downgrade and then re-upgrade?
I am doing it because my brother had his computer worked on by our Nephew, and he went from XP to 7 ultimate with a hacked copy of 7 ultimate. I have done a fresh install, but it keeps starting and reverting back to Ultimate, The kicker os that I can go to KEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersion and see windows 7 home premium as the operating system with no CD product ID. I'll add the product key, and go to regiser it but it won't let me activate it. The thing I have an issue with is that even after a fresh install, it starts up and says windows 7 ultimate.
I have installed Professional but the key I purchased is a dud. It was a MAC key but when I types it in it turns out it has already been used. I had no luck getting a valid one from the seller.It turns out I only really need Home Premium. If I buy a Home Premium one and authorize with that will it work.The reason I don't want to reinstall is I am using Bootcamp on a Mac Pro and I have to mess around a lot to get it working.
I recently purchased a used computer at a very low price. On it was an installation of Windows 7. All seemed to be fine. I cleared out all the old junk, cookies, registry etc. Now I get a window error saying the computer can not verify my copy of Windows Enterprise and I should check with my IT department. I am a single home user with Windows 7 Home Premium on my other pc. I spoke with a local computer store and they said it sounds like the previous owner put a "bootleg" copy of Windows 7 Enterprise on the hard drive. Can I downgrade the Illegal Enterprise edition to my legitimate copy of Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade without losing all the programs and stuff I spent the last week installing on the new used pc?
I was using a licensed version OS win7 ultimate on my old system. Now after upgrading the system (mobo, processor changed) it prompts me to purchase a new product key. I found that after a major up gradation using the the same product key violates the user end agreement and so I left it there and I purchased a Home premium .( Somebody suggested to convince MS about the up garadation but didn't try it)
Now in the new sys win 7 ultimate sp1 is running and i have to change the product key within 30 days. My query is- Can I downgrade to Home premuim without a clean install?
I received a Dell Inspiron 15 3520 as a gift this Christmas. After playing with Windows 8, I decided to upgrade (downgrade) to Windows 7. So far, every driver downloaded has either worked or done nothing (which is fine) but the video drive has blue screen my computer after updating from both the Dell website and from Device Manager update. I'd like to have a working video card, but I'm afraid that Windows 7 does not support the HD video card in this laptop.
I am currently on Windows 7 Home 32-bit, trying to re-install to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I have downloaded Win7 Pro from Microsoft's MSDN academic alliance, as I can get it free through my University. [CODE]
I had serious problem with Windows 8 Release Preview and had to fully reinstall Windows 7 (Home Premium x64) on my HP Pavillon g6. The problem is that a lot of drivers are missing, especially network related drivers. I can't connect to any network.
I recently upgraded from xp to 7 on my gateway fx530. Everything about the install was fine except I can't connect to the internet. I am able to connect with this modem on a different computer so there's nothing wrong with that. Windows 7 is not recognizing my modem for some reason. I am missing two drivers: IPMI interface and PCI Serial Port.
how can i check driver is installed or not ?? i have problem of video. 1920 by 1800 video & above 160MB video is not playing properly it stop playing . & i have not instolled graphics card..?divice manager is not showing any diver mark...
Using w7 home premium 64bit I have windowssystem32drivers pfs.sys
I am missing windowssystem32drivers pf.sys
I am getting literally thousands of the following error messages continuously in my boot log. "Did not load driver SystemRootSysWow64driversNPF.sys" npf.sys also does not appear in syswow64drivers at all
I have run the Windows 7 Compatibility Upgrade Advisor on my Vaio VGN-FZ190. I am getting that two drivers are not compatible with Windows 7:
1) The Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT has the latest that Sony publishes on its support web page for my laptop (Ver. 7.15.11.6760), dated 1/11/2008. On the Nvidia web site, it says that to get updates for my laptop "you must contact your computer vendor", so no updates are available there. Sony does not provide a newer Nvidia driver either.
2) The "Bluetooh Stack for Windows by Toshiba" Ver. 5.00.00. This is the most current driver that Sony publishes for this laptop model on the Vaio support web site.
I don't want to embark on the Windows 7 upgrade until I know I won't run into any critical issues that could lead me to who knows where.
I had to do a fresh reinstall of my OS recently and ever since I did I have not been able to connect to the internet to get my others drivers running. In my device manager their is a Yellow triangle next to the Ethernet controller.I have downloaded and tests both the modem drivers as well as the LAN ASRock drivers directly from this site http://www.asrock.com/mb/download. [...] 4&o=Win764 the ASRock drivers had a notification that you do not meed the required specifications or similar and neither of them solved the issue.
I clean installed Windows 7 on my HP Pavilion DV6-6C35DX laptop using these 2 guides: SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation Clean Install Windows 7
I noticed when I was installing Windows 7, I never had a screen pop up (step 17) asking about my network location type. After Windows was installed, my laptop couldn't find any networks regardless if I tried plugging an ethernet cord from my modem into my laptop. When I click troubleshoot it says, "Install a driver for your network adapter". I click next it says, "Windows could not find a driver for your network adapter". I look in my Device Manager, I see under Other Devices it lists: Ethernet Controller, Network Controller, PCI Device, SM Bus Controller, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller, Unknown Device, and Unknown Device all with yellow exclamation marks next to them.
My Googlefu skills told me that when clean installing windows it only installs generic drivers, and I need to install the drivers on my motherboard disk. The problem is my laptop didn't come with any such disk. I tried going on HP's website on another computer, and burning all the network drivers onto a blank DVD ( can't use a USB since those drivers are not working). When I installed them nothing really happened.
i reinstalled windows 7 home premium 64-bit (from recovery media, i got it when i bought my laptop) on my samsung NP300E5A laptop, on device manager it says that i have five missing drivers, driver are:
-3D Video Controller -Ethernet Controller -Network Controller -PCI Simple Communication Controller -SM Bus Controller
Oh and after i reinstall windows, when i reboot windows it loads and instead of welcome screen it shows me black screen and cursor, i can move cursor.
