Is It Possible To Copy A Device Driver From One System To Another Compatible System
Aug 23, 2011
is it possible to copy a device driver from one system to another compatible system? I just installed windows 7 pro (64bit) on my Dell Optiplex 380, but no ethernet controller so i cant use it on a network.

I own a Dell latitude D820 laptop. It had been left on, and I noticed the screen was black so rebooted it. When it came back online I was no longer able to use the keyboard or built in touch pad. I was however able to use a wireless USB mouse and keyboard so I can use the laptop and get online with it. I checked device manager and it shows several items with errors including the DVD drive so I cannot reinstall windows. The error for each item is "The driver for this device might be corrupted, or your system may be running low on memory or other resources. (Code 3)"It doesn't even see the DVD drive in my computer. I did a little bit of research and found a site that suggested I am missing an important file called wdf01000. I did try and do a system restore, but the only restore point available was from midnight the night before and it didn't fix the problem.As a last resort I might attempt to locate an external USB DVD drive, but I'm hoping to not go in that direction if possible.Running Windows 7 32 bit version.
i've come across Age of Empires 2 and AoC expansion and want to play them, however get a graphics system error."Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"
My specs are:
Dell Inspiron 545 Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q8300 @2.50GHz Memory: 6.00GB Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4350
- I've tried to right click the shortcut and change the compatability to XP server pack 2, run as administrator, updated my graphics card drivers and downloaded the latest directX 11 from the Microsoft Website.
Just upgraded from Vista Business 32bit to Win 7 Pro 32 bit AOE working fine before upgrade but now error shown as:"Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"I've checked the drivers are the latest. Directx is ver 11. DirectDraw enabled. Video card is ATI Radeon HD 3650 with latest driver.Tried compatibility modes, disabling Aero, re-install AOE, XP virtual mode. Nothing works.
"The driver for Base System Device is not installed. Install the latest driver for the device."
This is message I'm getting. I can find 3 "Base System Device" in Device Manager, but I have no idea what devices they are so I can't search for drivers.
Here are the Hardware Ids if that's any help

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit on an Acer Aspire 4935G laptop.
I'm going to upgrade my Dell XPS 420's RAM (Computer memory upgrades for Dell XPS 420 Desktop/PC from Crucial.com) from 3 gigs (2x1GB & 2x512MB) to 8 gigs. Will two kits of Newegg.com - AllComponents 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model AC2/800X64/4096-KIT work even though it is a dual channel kit? Also, according to the Crucial website this is the fastest RAM my motherboard can use, is this correct?
A while ago, I upgraded to an SSD, and at the same time, I upgraded from my Win 7 Ultimat, 32-bit to the corresponding 64-bit. As I refuse to give up my Windows Natural Multimedia Keyboard, I did not install ITPx64_1033_8.0.225.0.exe (v. 8), because it does not accept PS1, which is the only connection on my keyboard. Note: I refuse to give up my keyboard because it is ergonomic, has multimedia keys, and is light gray?I have used ITPx86_1033_7.00.260.0.exe (v. 7) since then, and it has worked well. A while ago, it gave me problems, and I think I must have uninstalled it. When I am trying to reinstall, I get the error message "Setup cannot continue because this software is not supported on 64-bit operating systems."
my problem lies in the installation of windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my system. I custom built this computer and after using the installation disk that contains both 32 and 64 bit. On my brother's computer we used this disk and it automatically installed to 64 bit without making us choose. However on my machine, it automatically goes to 32 bit even though all the parts are 64 bit compatible. how can I install 64 bit windows 7 to utilize all 8 gb of memory. I have tried reinstalling i using the disk multiple times, each time giving me the 32 bit system.
I installed win 7 Pro on a new build: Gigabyte GA-P55-UD7 + i7875 + 8Gb Crucial DDR3.Made system backup and created System Repair Disk. A few days later (and a few backups later as various software loads were made) the system crashed while I was attempting to email photos from Picasa via its link to Outlook 2007 Screen went blank and on restart neither normal nor repair start worked (latter recycled to POST continuously).So, got out the repair disk, made by this system earlier - and after keyboard choice it tells me that the "repair disc created by win 7 64 bit not compatible with this system".
my laptop doesn't starts then it runs the system restore automatically but it doesnt fix anything.i can get into a cmd from the system restore, and i was wondering if is posible to copy the whole disk to an external hdd from the cmd?i have a value information in that disk, then i want to save my info and re install the win 7?
im looking to get new harddrive and was wondering isit possible to copy whole os to new hdd?
