Installed Windows 7 On MBP Using Bootcamp With No Drivers

View 2 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Upgrade And Drivers Installed But No Sound?
Feb 17, 2012I have just upgraded two HP DV9000 series laptops to Windows 7 (one from Vista and one from XP) and according to Device Manager they both have all the drivers installed just fine. Only there is no sound on either of them. The sound was fine on XP and Vista.. I know the speakers are working because when I touch the blue controlls above the keyboard the speakers emit a chirp (which is more than just a beep) but there is not a peep from Windows. Both laptops use a nVidia chipset and i have installed the drivers from HP's support pages both with and without compatibility mode. I have also used a couple of different sound drivers but still silence.

Aug 26, 2012I recently got a new ssd and installed Windows 7 on it (I used the oem code on the bottom of my laptop [Lenovo Y580] along with the iso from digitalriver). It's been... well, as good as you can expect windows to be up until yesterday. When I booted the laptop into Windows, I had no internet despite having an ethernet cable connected. I checked to make sure it wasn't just my router. Sure enough, wifi and ethernet work perfectly in Ubuntu. I went into windows again and checked if I had the latest drivers. I did, so I tried reinstalling them and everything worked fine. Until I restarted. Every single time I restart I need to reinstall my wifi and ethernet drivers. It takes seconds, but it's still annoying and shouldn't be happening.

Jan 10, 2013How can I install Windows 7 with all of the drivers but with no users on the drive. Sort of like when you buy a pre-built machine and it asks you the first time you boot it up for you to create a user but it has all of the drivers installed (and bloatware, but I don't want to install bloatware).
I want to sell my old machine since I've upgraded which is why I want to do this.
Install RAID Drivers On Already Installed Windows 7?
Jun 23, 2010[code]...
So then I thought, that maybe I can't install the RAID drivers from within the OS. So I caused the BSOD on purpose once again, and then with ICH10R RAID activated and Samsung hard disks attached, I choose the Windows 7 Recovery mode in the boot menu. It sees some problem(s), tries to repair, does not succeed and does not ask for drivers (which I put on a USB stick) to install. I also tried to use the command-line in the recovery: "rundll32 syssetup, SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128 iaStor.inf" but it gave "Installation failed."
So I'm clueless how should I proceed. Do I really need to re-install Windows 7 and load RAID drivers in the Win7 setup? I don't want to install any OS on the RAID, the Windows 7 is and will be on the SSD. I just want to have a RAID-1 backup using those two hard disks.
[DRIVERS] Reinstalling Printer When Installed With Windows Update?
Sep 8, 2012I just went from XP to a new Dell Windows 7. I have a multi-function printer that used CD drivers on XP, but with Windows 7, I had to install the printer with Windows Update and a scan utility from the manufacturer's web site. All of a sudden after a month, I can't scan, so I want to uninstall/reinstall the printer. How do I do this when it was installed with Windows Update? I see a list of drivers in the DriverStore/FileRepository folder. Do I delete those so Windows Update can reinstall them, or were they already there when I bought the computer?

Nov 19, 2012I 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGraphics Card Crashing, Drivers Installed And Reinstalled Windows Same?
Feb 17, 2012My comp keeps crashing on me. I've tried all of the trouble shooting i've found here from these forums and am still having problems. I've done about 30 fresh installs of windows in the past 6 months trying to get it to work properly. Doesn't matter if i'm running of my onboard video or my added vid cards. Doesn't matter if I run one or both RAM sticks. Doesn't matter if I run one or both vid cards. The pop up I get in the corner is what I've gone with for looking into trouble shooting. It refers to the graphics drivers crashing and then recovering. Doesn't matter if nothing is happening or not. Can sit fine for days, can turn it on and get 10 seconds out of it before it crashes. If i had any codes that it would give me I would help more on the situation. But when it crashes and doesn't recover I get no video; on either monitor. I'm getting very frustrated, this is the first time I've ever had this happen. This is the 4th computer I've built. First to involve any windows newer then XP. XP doesn't run my comp the way I would like it to. Some of the programs I use don't work with the 64-bit XP OS.

Dec 3, 2010Device drivers are not installed. A driver has not been installed for this device preventing it from working properly.The device driver for Network Controller has not been installed. This device will not be available until the correct device driver is installed.
1. Try installing the drivers using Windows Update.
2. Install the drivers that are on the installation media that came with the device.
3. Check with the manufacturer for an updated driver.
Explanation of Error Codes Generated by Device Manager.I have installed the driver for my network card, and the bluetooth driver. I'm not sure about drivers for a wireless connection, I don't know if they're included in the network card drivers or not. What's this network controller thing? And what driver would satisfy it? I'm on an Acer Aspire 5742ZG. Their driver support is pretty bad.Hardware Identification Fixed my problem. I found out using that website that the Network Controller was an Antheros Wireless Network Adapter. Antheros. When I installed my drivers and saw that I had a Broadcom LAN card, I assumed that I'd also have a Broadcom Wireless network adapter. Well nope. I deleted the Broadcom driver, installed the Antheros one and now the problem is fixed.

Drivers Installed With Every Logon
Jan 1, 2010Every time I logon, Windows 7 installs drivers for two PCI standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge devices; I don't know why there are two of these devices listed in Device Manager - if I delete them then both come back. Also, Windows 7 installs a driver for an 'unknown device' - Windows 7 gives no clue as to the nature of this device. Does anyone have any idea why Windows 7 installs to these three with every logon and not just the once?
View 4 Replies View RelatedAll Drivers Have Been Wiped Out And Cannot Be Re-Installed
Oct 5, 2012About a week ago, I rebooted my machine (custom built by Origin PC), and when Windows came back up, I immediately knew something was wrong. My desktop settings seemed to have reverted to default. I immediately tried to open Chrome and found that I had no working internet connection. My first thought was to reboot the modem and router, but that didn't work. In fact, my laptop and other wifi devices all still had internet access.My next step was to look at the network settings. There was NOTHING there. There were no settings, there were no drivers; the only thing that was there was the basic "would you like to set up a new connection". Although this happened a bit later on, I did try to set up a new connection and the only option it presented me with was a dial-up connection. I checked the ethernet cord and all was fine there. I finally realized that every driver had been wiped clean for network use. The computer came to me using Nvidia's nForce drivers and those were gone, nowhere to be found. And this was only the beginning.I then proceeded to look through my Nvidia files and see if I could find it there. Well, the only Nvidia files that were left were the PhysX and 3D Media Player. My computer was running the generic driver for the Geforce 580. Having no internet on this desktop, I downloaded the latest drivers (and the previous one I was using) and tried to install both of them. Each time I tried to install them, I got a statement saying "Nvidia Installer Failed".
There were a number of possible solutions to that particular problem, though none of them worked for me. So I began to think this was more a systemic issue than just Nvidia alone. My suspicions were proved correct when I tried to open a game (Skyrim) and was greeted with a message saying, "No sound device detected. Skyrim cannot run." So my next step was to look at my audio settings. I went down to the audio icon in bottom far-right area of the task bar, where there are bunch of mini-icons next to the time and date. Before I clicked on the audio icon, I noticed that pretty much every other icon besides the factory default had been wiped as well. When I did click on the audio icon, I was informed that there were no audio devices installed, despite the fact that my Razer headset was plugged in.Finally, I ran the version of MalwareBytes that I had available (no internet, no update to the list), and it found one trojan called "disable.??" I can't quite remember the other part. But the name alone led me to believe I had found the culprit. So, I quarantined it, rebooted, and nothing had changed. I ran a full scan again with MalwareBytes and it didn't pick up anything this time.

View 1 Replies View RelatedInstalled Drivers On System Reboot?
Jul 20, 2012For a few months now, whenever I boot up it seems that all of the USB ports on the computer, including the network adapter just simply won't work until I've reinstalled. What's weird is this is true for all but one USB port, which is located on the back of the case. I've kept my mouse plugged in there so whenever I need to restart I can easily reinstall the drivers... And really it's not that big of a problem or anything, it's just become an annoyance at this point, you know?'ve tried updating the drivers in question and it says they're up to date.I'm not sure what else I can do past that since I'm not that knowledgeable in this area. The drivers that are experiencing the problem I described are; "Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller" -and- "Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller - 1C26"Another thing I guess I'd like to ask about since I'm making this post... I have a USB port on the front end of the PC which won't work whatsoever even after reinstalling drivers. We had a power outage a while back, and I thought maybe it could have fried it or something
View 9 Replies View RelatedDrivers Automatically Installed Upon Reformat
Oct 13, 2012For work I am going to be reformatting all the laptops before resale. Now downloading all the updates is very frustrating, but I have been advised to use a piece of software called Macrium Reflect, which basically copies the complete hard drive, so you have a perfect back up.
So my plan is to make a fresh install of windows, update Windows fully, and them make an exact image of that hard drive. What I then plan to do, is install this copy onto all the laptops (Using the unique windows key), which basically saves me wasting hours per laptop updating.
My problem is, when you format a laptop, some drivers are already installed, where others are not. I do not know exactly what determines why some drivers are already installed and some are not, but anyway, if I took the complete image of the hard drive, of lets say a Toshiba laptop, then put all that data on to an Acer laptop for example, would I get conflict between already installed drivers?
By this, I would not install any manually downloaded drivers onto the Toshiba until after the image is taken, meaning the only drivers moved between laptops are the pre-installed ones

View 2 Replies View RelatedNew RTM Install, Drivers Were Installed Straight Away
Aug 9, 2009This weekend - I installed Windows 7 Pro RTM Final onto a basic "office" workstation and was stunned to see that ALL of my drivers were installed straight away as part of the OS install.
In the past - XP and Vista always pulled me down a path of having to install at least a half dozen specific driver for all hardware pieces - but with 7 - I was good to go.
So what's the thinking? Do I really need the latest Intel chipset software? Is the 185.xx nVidia driver installed by 7 any worse than running the latest bloated pointless installer from the nVidia site? How about DirectX - in the past - I would pull down the latest End User Runtime and install that before my video drivers. Can't even find a Direct X installer for 7 right now...
So - what's everyone else doing?
Raid Drivers - Installed From A Mem Stick
Aug 21, 2009Just putting together a list for my new October build for the Windows 7 launch and am going to go with a "Raid 1" set up using 2x wd caviar black 1tb drives.
I have not gone down the raid route before but understand that raid drivers needed to be loaded by floppy during installation.
I was hoping not to have to buy a floppy drive so wanted to know if in Windows 7 USB support was available during install to allow raid drivers to be installed from a mem stick when prompted??
