My dv7-1232nr using Windows 7 had an optional update from Windows for my driver Atheros AR5007.

When I try to install the update, my computer freezes and I have to do a system restore to remove update to make it work.  If I go through the Device Manager and the attempt to update the driver, it makes my pc unusable.  I can't find anything about this on the HP website.  HP has a patch for this network card?

It worked!  I downloaded thedriver.  Then uninstalled the current driver before installing the new driver. It took a little longer than I expected to install.  I had a Windows security message indicating that Windows can't verify the Publisher of this driver.  I chose to install this driver anyway.  I guess this isn't a problem.  I had to set up my internet connection and again security code.  Thank you very much for your help!

  • Anyone else had problems with updates from April 12, 2011 Windows?

    Last week (April 12, 2011) the automatic updates prevented me from using my PC.  The display is automatically set on 800 x 640 and it froze just trying to connect.   I did a system restore and everything were very good. BUT My Network Magic Software kept reminding me that there is an update of Windows for my PC, I went to Windows Update and installed updates.   Everything was fine.  So today, I restarted my PC (I usually leave it all the time).  The same problem as the last weeks took place so I restored the system to before April 12.  Everything is fine now but... I have automatic updates and I need to update Windows when even then, I need to know what to do.  Which of the 17 update could give me the problem and why?   I have Windows XP Pro SP3.  Please help me.  I don't know where else turns to help you.

    I'm so glad you are done with your updates in April.

    IRO your display problem, suggest you post your question in the 'Performance and Maintenance' or 'Desktop and personalization' forums and let the experts there trying to help you.

  • I don't have the language packs in my optional updates from the Windows Update - how to install a language pack?

    My hard drive crashed.  It was replaced and the outside company installed the OS for me.  However, I'm in a French country and they had no English operating system share so installed the french operating system without telling me.   I left it as it is that I had to install my other apps in a hurry.  Now, I want to change the language of the OS in English without having to reinstall the operating system.  The MS help Web site gives this page with instructions: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/install-languages-with-windows-update, but I don't get the language packs when I click on "View available updates".  How can I install the English language pack if she does not?

    [1] relative to the first, third and fourth link: already done - the regional formats and input languages to the keyboard/are not the problem

    [2] re second link: that's where I started.  If you follow the links on this page, you get finally to the page I linked in my original post, above.  It says select a languge in the update of Windows

    If the language you want does NOT have a downloadlink on http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/downloads/languages, what you did (for example, adding input interface & English language keyboard) is ALL you can do with a Vista Home Premium French-language version.

    If you want any display in English, you need to install the English Language Pack , which, as you know, is only available for Vista Ultimate computers.

    Yes, it's unnecessarily confusing and convoluted but WYSIWYG, I'm afraid. You have that would be to buy an Anytime Upgrade from Vista Ultimate, (b) a Win7 Home Premium update (and then an Anytime Upgrade to Win7 Ultimate) or (c) a full-detail of a language version English version of any version of Win7... which will be probably much more expensive than buying a brand new computer with a version of English language of Win7 preinstalled (and good luck finding that in a French speaking country).

    Wish I had better news for you.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • 64-bit Windows 7 driver for Atheros AR5007 in dv7-1468nr

    I have been in communication with Microsoft and HP technical support both on this issue.

    Can we please have a time frame on how long before that we will have a driver for the wireless card that is in this model the actual 64-bit?

    I don't want to sound rude here, but Acer has been much easier to get around the problem of driver for windows 7.

    Microsoft did confirm this evening that there is no 64-bit for this AR5007 driver and back to HP.

    Atheros seems to deal specifically with suppliers more with the support of its prodiucts, as it is my return to HP after six years of absence and the fact that my company is jumping through the hoops for the HP partnership, I would like an honest answer from an employee of HP.

    How long before that this driver is available in 64 bits?

    Until that time, all of the product is worthless for me as a professional and as a student for the simple reason that when you try to use a suppliant of security required for authentication, the network manager crash when using the measure of 802. 1 x. Microsoft has identified that specifically a driver related issue because there is no driver 64-bit available.

    Not to play against each other here, but in my profession and in my studies, I tend to promote these products that seem to work better and where assistance is available. The Acer also contained an Atheros card, but it was changed to use a broadcom driver in Windows 7. No idea why or how, I know that it works and it supports the Cisco PEAP supplicant, which is an important issue with the dv7-1468nr and Windows 7 with the Atheros AR5007 wireless device.

    Other related driver issues such as the multimedia remote that might be expected given that windows 7 has not officially released, but when I contacted support on the card reader does not not (another feature that works out of the box on an Acer hardware), I was told basically sorry charlie, good luck. Fortunately, I was able to locate an XP driver for the card reader works. The media remote is a trivial question, but the wireless is a serious problem. If it cannot be resolved within a reasonable time, I fear I will be boxing it up to return to where it was purchased, as defective. the deployment is in a few days...

    lets hope that we can really appropriate at this time that drivers.

    After three long sessions with Microsoft and a few sessions where I was not very tolerable with the "apology" given for drivers not made available via the website of HP, I was able to refine the exact question to something other than a real driver file.

    If the question was not in fact the driver file, it does not change the fact that HP should provide drivers on their website that they will BE supported for all operating systems promoted regardless of the version (Home Basic, premium, professional, ultimate, etc..). It became a problem in my final conversation of a HP technician before they gave me a link to a driver file real 64 bit, of course claim immunity from liability for any damage as a result of the application. The link of this driver is here.

    Now for the real root of the problem.

    On the new installation, there are several devices that have remained unknown in Device Manager.

    Day after day, a lesbianism HP drivers and applications to solve problems.

    What was actually the connection magaer crash on trying to manually create a connection by using the Cisco's PEAP Protocol was a corrupt application of Cisco installation. Through the process of trying to repair the installation and actually manually change the registry and remove all traces of the application with Microsoft in the remote session, it was determined that the system had become corrupt and need a fresh 'custom' install.

    After installation, using all the HP and Microsoft drivers only, (no application of third party still installed) I have successfully install the 64-bit application Cisco PEAP for 64-bit Vista and create the connection which is required.

    To date, there is only one problem with this laptop and I expect a fix from HP for it in the coming days.

    The HP MediaSmart application for this machine special 64-bit is always just a touch unstable running Windows 7 Professional.

    I hope that it can save someone else the days of frustration I endured everything in trying to solve this problem.

    You can do this and see if there are drivers that manufacturing has to W8 for that specific material. But you should check the site driver from HP for your P/N and see whether they have or W8 drivers list. Don't forget the older laptop after 2012, the chances of HP with W8 drivers will be slim to none since they do not include support for older hardware.
