can I update firmware of the motherboard for windows xp on windows 7?

The customer from Ubisoft support is telling me to update my firmware from the motherboard. I have a Media Center m7250n and upgraded to windows 7. Can I still download the XP - only firmware and not experience adverse effects, or would it be dangerous or worthless?

I can't ask the customer on this subject directly because the PC warranty expired years ago.

In addition, even though I know that this is unrelated to the issue I have with my computer, customer support also wants update me the sound card driver, and it is also an XP only install; Is this the case even where I have to go back to XP?

Hello mastersteviekun, you can possibly get the driver for your sound card from the web site of the manufacturer.

Your audio is an audio device from Realtek on board.

Here is the link for Realtek, where the Windows 7 drivers for the Realtek audio device.

You will need to get a HD Audio Codecs, check the agreement and you have three options to download site.

You should know that sometimes Realtek downloads can be a little slow.

I'm not completely sure, these drivers will work, but they tend to do.

  • Update firmware of the iDRAC for M600 with image

    I need to update the firmware of the card server iDRAC to 1.65 and the means to do it now are updates that require you to run on the host computer, operating system must be windows or Linux. I have two servers that have no operating system on them so I can't update this way and it's silly for me to install or run an operating system on each of these just to install an update of firmware for the DRAC. I have also four other machines where the windows exe is not update the map because while it starts the update that he do not say the map isn't here even if before it was said to go ahead with the update, he identified the card and its firmware version.

    I'm referring to this thread already http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/blades/f/4436/t/19472174.aspx and the person who asked where they could get the image never replied and I could really use the image to solve my problems.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t know how long it takes until Toshiba going Windows 7 drivers, but you should not forget that Windows 7 is not on the market now, so I think we should be a few weeks or months.

    In my opinion, you can order Windows 7. Most of the drivers for Vista are also working on Windows 7 and you can the pre-test with the Windows 7 RC.
    It s worth a try! ;)

  • When can Tecra A8 - I expect the drivers for Windows 7?

    Anyone know can we expect Windows 7 drivers and utilities for Toshiba Tecra A8 (PTA83E). I am very satisfied with my laptop, it works with Win XP, but I want to try Win 7 OS.
    10 x in advance for the answers.

    Nikolai Tsankov.

    Hi Nikolai,

    If you are satisfied with your laptop I put t understand why you want to change the operating system. You must be happy with preinstalled OS never touch a running system ;)

    Maybe the Tecra A8 will not support Windows 7 because it s old enough. At present, it seems that Toshiba won't release of Windows 7 drivers, because I founded this:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9902P50000R01.htm

    But maybe they will support more portable in the future, who knows

    Theoretically, you can install Windows 7, but you have to collect the drivers yourself on external Web sites.

  • I can't update my definitions of virus for Windows Defender (Vista Home Basic)

    In addition, I am unable to connect with smilebox.  It seems that these programs need to connect to internet using something other than a browser because my internet connection is fine, but these programs cannot access the internet in order to work properly.

    I was also unable to download/install McAfee until I did it in safe mode with network.  I could also sign in smilebox in SafeMode with networking, but when I went back to normal mode, I could not signed.

    Hi suzeenole,

    I suggest that you check your system for corrupted files.  You use the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker to check and repair corrupt system files.  To do this, follow these steps:

      1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click programs, accessories principally made, right-click Guest, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    2. type the following command and press ENTER:

    sfc/scannow

    The sfc/scannow command. analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

    In addition, you can also try several options in the section below on troubleshooting installation problems.

    It is not DDR3 or DDR2 even... it's the original DDR, just DDR PC2700 aka. PC3200 or DDR400 (same thing) also works

    One of the great debacle of recent years was when the industry was selling computers with 512 MB Vista. They have been slow and caused much of the poor reception for Vista. Windows 7 manages memory better than Vista and "work" on 512 megs, but there is nothing you want to try to use.

  • Satellite A200-1DN - the update of the BIOS for Windows 7

    I am running 32-bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I had battery problems (plugged in, does not support) and I understand that I have to update my BIOS. However I can't find an update of the BIOS for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.

    Can anyone help? I should update with the BIOS in Vista? Are there other options to fix this battery? I already tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you
    Ian

    Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before you do, try this:

    Unplug the computer from the power adapter and turn it on. Let the computer battery power until the computer turns off
    Remove the battery. Using a soft cloth, wipe the battery packs connectors and AC adapters.
    Reinsert the battery and plug it into the power adapter

    > I tried an ATX reset and uninstall method battery Microsoft ACPI compatible controls.

    also, have you had the same problem before installing Win 7?
