Install the missing drivers after cleaning to Windows 7 from XP

Hello. I have a custom computer I upgraded from xp to Windows 7 Home Premium. Everything worked perfectly before the upgrade. After the upgrade, my multimedia card, PCI, has stopped working and The Geek Squad, nor the built-in convenience store could find the drivers for it. It says "code OxC004C008 and 28 for the NTativrv01". then another message said: "PCI simple communications controller - no driver; then "Mlti-media conroller does not have a pilot.  appreciate any help I can get. Thank you

1 a helpful to take before step same you've solved these problems is to create two alternative accounts protected by password Admin-level.

  • Accounts of users & their safety are taken much more seriously in Windows 7 so the tricks we learned under XP can not help us any more.
  • [No matter what account can suffer from corruption of the profiles user and if it's your main account and you have no spare Admin account to access the system, then you have a serious problem that we are not even allowed to advise you in this forum other than to suggest a complete reinstall of Windows 7].
  • If you have these two alternative accounts then, because they are rarely used, they are less likely to suffer from the corruption that is in use.
  • So even if you have problems in your account you can then log in as one of them and solve the problem.
  • You must write the passwords and ensure the safety of the sheet of paper.  You could do 'Password' reset disks instead, but they are not more effective than a piece of paper and they will also have to be stored somewhere in the place safe.

2. did you run the Windows 7 compatibility checker before the upgrade?  You can start now and its results will always help you.  See Windows 7, 8.1, 10 compatibility tests for Windows XP, Vista - WiKi

3 then see where to find the hardware drivers to treat your problems with your multimedia controller etc.

4 once you get these things sorted, then you want to probably ensure that you get a Windows 10 forced update before you're ready - see disable Windows 10 improvement and ignore someone who starts to tell disable you updates specific Windows or turn off Windows update itself because it's all nonsense.

5 like many of us when we arrived first of XP, you reach not used 'images of the system' which is worth doing as soon as you have a system worth preserving - so you probably want to turn it off until you have fixed your problem with drivers hardware.

  • You can make an image of the system in less than half an hour.
  • You can restore an image system in less than half an hour and thus replace problems based on software, including problems of drivers, who have appeared on your computer.
  • Search for create a system image using Windows to get an introduction to & use,
  • Then go into Control Panel, [view by - small icons, if necessary], Backup & Restore for the link on the left side to create a system image to run the utility.
  • Note that you should not make the system repair disc which will find references to your Windows 7 installation disc can do what a system repair disc can [etc.].
  • Target the most convenient & reliable to record images of system on is an external hard drive.  An image of the system does not have the external hard drive to any target, so it can also be used for other purposes such as the storage of your current file backups.
  • Rewritable DVD is not as reliable and you need several whenever you made a new image.
  • Utility of third to party system images can be better that the built-in Windows utility I use Acronis TI which has a very good reputation.  Macrium Reflect free edition also has a good reputation.  But you can start with the built-in utility, and then you worry about the alternatives later.

All the best,

Denis

  • Satellite P500 - 01 G-install the Toshiba software after clean install

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba P500 - 01 G (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/overview) running the grouped Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, but can not use it, he just tells me to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    However, I can use it for a clean install and I intend, but I don't know what to do on the Toshiba Software (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/download?os=25).
    I read on another thread that the software must be installed in a certain order and frankly I have no idea! I don't want to break something! I'm not to ask for the list accurate for each of them (except if you have time) but just a general guide as to what I should install in the order.

    Also, I guess that my recovery partition is erased in the process and I can't get it back. Is this true?

    Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,
    Abraham.

    Hello, Abraham

    I m the Satellite P500 owner too and it's really great machine, isn t it? I like it. My Toshiba best ever.
    My machine is preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image and it works without any problems so I put t want to change anything.

    Back to your question. I assume that you have a few reasons why you want to use the Ultimate version then you should try to clean OS install. Before you anything create recovery DVDs. Make two copies.
    After that make what you can do with your laptop all you used to because if you want to have the factory settings, again you can use created the recovery disc and install original recovery image.
    After recovery of registered OS image will help and you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery then please create restore DVD.

    Installing Win7? I have the European model, and I will send exact installation order list. There may be small differences compared to the model of the AU, but the principle remains the same.
    Here we go:
    Windows 7
    Chipset SW installation utility

  • Satellite A200 PSAE6E: Impossible to install the audio drivers after installing Win XP realtek

    Hello...

    Recently, I repartitioned my laptop HD to install XP and kubuntu (it came with vista)... However, I was not able to install audio drivers for its audio devices...

    The laptop is a toshiba Satellite A200-PSAE6E and everest indicates the following audio controllers:

    ATI hd 2xxx hdmi @ ati radeon hd 2600 - controller high definition audio
    Realtek alc268 @ intel 82801hbm ich8m - audio controller high definition

    First I tried to download the audio drivers high definition realtek web site (32-bit version of windows xp). I tried to run the installation, manually navigating to WDM file during the installation of the pilot and navigation manually the folders where the drivers have been copied during the installation under c:\windows\system32\... all to nothing done...

    Then I tried to download drivers toshiba official of the support web site of europe from toshiba for the realtek chip... I've lived the same behavior (both when you run the Setup program and install manually force pilots)

    Then I tried to download the drivers for ATI HDMI audio device from realtek website... with the same results...

    Windows tells me that it was impossible to find a driver in the any of the archives...

    The only thing that could be the culprit because as far as I can tell, is that I installed service pack 3 RC2...

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,
    Tasos

    P.S. I've tried the two automatic installation through specification of a folder and choose the options "I will manually choose a driver from the list" in the hardware installation wizard... the result is always the same... Note that the audio works perfectly under ubuntu...

    P.S.2 IMPORTANT! I recently discovered that toshiba offers bios versions for the A200 PSAE6E depending on if it is equipped with windows xp or vista...

    This refers to which the operating system has been installed when the system was purchased, or the operating system that is currently used? Can I upgrade the Bios of my laptop with the XP version or this break from things?

    Hello

    Regarding the sound issue.
    A lot of people already asked for it here on the forum and my knowledge the driver sound doesn't work because that some Member States the fixes and patches are missing.

    Please check this thread:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?MessageID=113124

    You will need to install KB888111 and KB835221 hotfix

    With regard to the BIOS;
    Yes, some series of laptops needs a version of XP BIOS if you want to install and use the XP on the laptop. AFAIK the A200 is one of these series of laptops.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    Version of the operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4 GHz
    GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7600M

    Hey... good news.

    Your comments on fried chip gave me an idea.

    In 2006, a lot of laptosp has a problem with foutly BGA chipsets. Chip foulty start works when heat you. That's why, when you mentioned on chip fries, I decided to test it.

    I used the sheet aluminum and hair drye standard. With this series, I was able to get around 160 degrees Celsius.

    My point is it works now. I could install the AMD drivers and run the game on the AMD graphics card. In any case, it's a temporary solution.

    I bought my laptop in 2011, which is 5 years after the first bullet of bad fate. I wonder why HP company sold me a cell phone if they know foulty chipsets.

    Would you be able to tell me where I can get one free of any piece of manufacturing foulties AMD Readeon 6770 m 2 GB as mine is broken.

  • How to install the Microsoft Sidewinder Gamepad on a Windows 7 computer?

    Need help to install a joystick microsoft sidewinder on my computer with a Windows 7 operating system. I have a gamepad adapter to connect via USB. Can you please help me with this.

    Hi Bhottinger,

    Microsoft has dropped support for this product. As such there is no driver available for this product.

    However, according to the Compatibility Center Windows 7, Microsoft Sidewinder joystick is compatible with Windows 7. You can see the report here.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=hardware&s=SideWinder%20joystick

    Therefore, using control of pilot integrated Windows if you manage to get the device works. If you have the old drivers CD, you can try changing the compatibility of the driver settings to make it work.

    Method 1:

    Usually, Windows will find and automatically install the necessary drivers when you plug your game controller into your computer.

    (a) connect the joystick to the USB port via the adapter.

    (b) see if it is detected.

    (c) Windows should recognize the new hardware and set in place to work properly.

     

    Method 2:

    Install the old driver that comes with the product by changing its compatibility settings.

    Reference:

     

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    After the installation, check if the device works.
