Driver problem after moving from Vista to Windows XP
Hello
Can anyone advise on where to find the drivers?
I have a laptop Inspiron 640 m. It has been upgraded to Vista (which I absolutely hated) by Dell, so I took it upon myself to reinstall Windows XP. Needless to say I now have terrible problems with drivers.
I get the 'Assistant new hardware detected' for the following drivers;
-Ethernet controller
-network controller
-video controller (vga compatiable)
-sm bus controller
I can't what to install on the Dell site.
I downloaded the something which was means to have drivers for Inspiron 640 m, but it failed, so I thought I'd do a separate download... but I had no joy.
Anyone got any ideas?
Your desperatley seeking help and advice... : smileysad:

TS-l663b cd/dvd "device cannot start code 10" after uppgrade from vista to windows 7 home
Compaq CQ60-216DX
Hi, I've updated from Vista to Windows 7 Home, and now the CD player is missing and displays an error code "10" DEVICE cannot NOT START, under Device Manager.
Looked for the drivers updated on the HP Support, there is none for CD player.
Cannot back driver, grayed out.
Restore opportunity to go back 2 months and still no progress. Installed software recently withdrawn from the HP (C5280) printer as well.
Immediately after the upgrade, the CD player worked fine. Same load of music in iTunes.
I am at a loss. Any ideas?
Thank you

Paul, thanks for the quick response!
Although the tool automated fix - It did not tour, the link you provided, was told in the right direction.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060#win7fix
It seems that it is a well known problem of incompatibility between the TS-L663B with the Windows 7 upgrade.
I just had to read the Let Me Fix It Myself solution because that relates to Windows7 and change the registry.
Thanks again,
Problem SOLVED!

After an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, everything on the system seemed to work properly. up to what I tried to re - install everything deleted software or install new software. As soon as Windows Installer starts the following error message appears: "error 1325 - 'Documents' is not a valid short file name.
If this could have something to do with the new pads MSFT security permissions on folders (with padlock) during a upgrade as well as related hidden junctions by compared to the user by the system?
I tried to install the update system of Lenovo and MSFT Windows Installer Clean Up clean in the hope that the software would help alleviate my problems. See below the link on advice from MSFT on the same error.
http://support.Microsoft.com/%2Fkb%2F328162
Unfortunately, I cannot even load the previously recommended THAT MSFT software to solve this error. I also tried to install the software as 'Run as Administrator' and in 'Safe Mode '. Even if I could not load the software recommended to MSFT, I was able to install iTunes to Apple through Apple Software Update, I guess, that they do not use Windows Installer.
With the new structure of junction there is several files or links to the same folder across file system, if it is a folder authorization number which specific files/links are I need to remove restrictions?
Any help would be appreciated, if not I'll have to do a clean install and individually reinstall each piece of software... Thank you.
I think I found the solution for this point, because I have just encountered the same problem in our environment and here's what I did to solve it:
-Create a higher level permissions at the root of the folder redirection (for example \\servername\mydocredirfolder): grant the Group authenticated users the following permissions and apply it to "this folder only" ALLOW: list folders/read data, reading, reading attributes, read extended attributes, create files / add data
I think the MSI is trying to read the free space on the disk on the server, but it cannot because it tries to access the folder where your my documents redirection is sitting.
Good luck!

In addition, after installation of the Qualcomm Atheros Wireless card driver from the support forum, my light on the adapter does not turn Orange and stays blue all the time.
Kindly help me to solve these problems.
Hi @Yuvraj_Gupta ,
Welcome to the HP support community. I saw your post about the problems after the upgrade to Windows 8.1. You encounter some problems because there is no driver Windows 8.1 to your model, only Windows 7 and 8. This Driver de Audio IDT high-definition is the most recent that I can find, but I can't guarantee that it will work.
For wireless light trying to install this Driver HP wireless button. Once installed, you should be able to switch it off and on again.

Strange problem after moving from the virtual computer to a new data store
I am migrating our VM existing (8 in total) a 'problem' RAID to a new table on a new controller and am having a strange problem. Here are the steps I took (host OS is Ubuntu 8.0.4 LTS x 64):
(1) off the power the virtual computer from the Web interface
(2) the directories created for each virtual on the new RAID array computer (in this case a RAID 10 array on LSI 9750-8i controller)
(3) rSync used to copy the data from RAID1 to be RAID2
4) has created a new data store on the new RAID through the Web Server of VMWare user interface.
(5) removed VM of the inventory through the Web, their return, added user interface then choose files .vmx on new data store on RAID2
They have all power save fine... but three of them are not accessible on the network. I can open a console in the Web Server of VMWare user interface and they all run normally... but I can't their ping or access the respective virtual machine Web GUI. It seems quite arbitrary that those who work and those who are not. In this case... the VM that don't work is a license Autodesk, a Squid proxy server and a VM of cactus. All three of these virtual machines are 32-bit Ubuntu Server VM (two 8.0.4 and a 10.0.4)... and are the only Ubuntu VM on this host. It must be signifigant but I'm not see how.
If I delete these three virtual machines of the inventory again and add to their original location (on the RAID1) they light up AND work normally. A consultant that we were working seemed surprised, as he had also done this experiment with some of the older VMWare products. I don't see how it would be the physical location of the files of the virtual machine. Any ideas?
We rely on the migration to ESXi soon but in the meantime, we get these a few VM out of this RAID array problem. I'm stuck.
Depending on the application, it may be enough to reconfigure the IP parameters (they are very probably on DHCP now) for the newly detected virtual NIC.

acing hard drive problem after upgrade to 8.1 windows
Mr President I upgraded my hp envy j048tx to windows 8.1 and have updated all my drivers using HP support assiastant... so when I apply a right click on any file... its takes time to open the contextual menu... long u please you suggest?
Hi Vira_Bathwar, welcome to the Forums of HP. The right-click menu is also known as the "context Menu". This can accumulate and get cluttered over time, causing it to be slower. The other possibility is system performance issues. I found a similar thread with a few suggestions that have worked for other people know this symtom. See this thread Microsoft: do a right-click context menu in desktop appearing slow victory 8.1

Hello
I upgraded my OS from Vista to Windows 7 and lost bookmarks, I had in Firefox. Back up my documents files and they are OK. Unfortunately, I don't think to back up my Firefox bookmarks.html file.
However, I did the upgrade of the operating system from the disk and a "windows.old" folder has been created which seems to have a lot of my old files, applications, and others, but I can't find "bookmarks.html" in the firefox folder or in my user folder.
Is there another place in windows.old where bookmarks could be, or a different file name, it may be under?
Please help, there are a few important bookmarks that I lost and which were accumulated over several years.
Thank you!
Firefox has not used the file bookmarks.html for storage of bookmark since the release of Firefox 2. You need a JSON bookmark backup file or the file places.sqlite. See this:
