T500 clean XP install

After deciding to remove bloat Vista install my machine came with I started to do a clean install of Windows XP. Fine istalled of the thing, unfortunately I can't work missing drivers. Installing the drivers on the Lenovo site does absolutely nothing, so I'm now stuck with no ethernet, no wlan, just basic VGA mode and a lot of question marks in the other devices category in Device Manager. My machine is a 2055WKJ, which rather curiously is not listed, so I download the drivers off the page 2055 without specifying the model (all this from a working machine, copy on a USB key and plug that the T500 - what a pain). Has anyone had this problem?

Have you installed the actual drivers or simply downloaded and run the exe? Lenovo driver package does not automatically install when you run the downloaded file, it only that extract the installer in a local folder on the HARD disk. You will need to navigate to the folder, and then run the installer form it.

Note: If your T500 has switchable graphics be sure to go into the bios and change the option to display swicthable the IGP or the ATi card and then install the appropriate drivers.

I have a few custom workflow that I don't want to lose or should attempt to reconfigure as that will cost me precious time. Does anyone know if these wrapped, or if I can save and import?

    Hello

    It's true that the upgrade to DC will remove Acrobat XI and plug-ins is automatically deleted as well.

    However your settings or preferences will not carry over, so it would be clean, wipe and install.

    You can save your work and access with Acrobat DC.

    How to clean CS6 install on a new PC Win7 64 bit system?

    I think I have improved all way from Version 7 th.

    There's no problem. If no previous, active software is detected on the system, the installer to upgrade simply return to its secondary mode and ask at the entrance of the old series in a second step for verification. Unless you do some exotic crossgrade / sidegrade stuff, it should work without any problems whatsoever.

  • Clean completely install firefox, no offers

    I messed up my Firefox and need a * clean * install. Reinstall using all combinations possible results in 'Firefox-choose user profile' box with nothing in and no way to "Create a profile" - a pop window for a fraction of a second and disappeared without letting me see what is in it.
    It drives me crazy. I do not for all my previous settings, history, bookmarks - I need a * charge * install.
    Help, please!
    Thank you
    Vlad

    Hi Vlad, please open this way:

    %APPDATA%
    

    The Mozilla in OldMozilla folder, and then rename (I suggest to rename instead of delete so you can dig whatever it is essential you need later)

    Then change the "Roaming" in the address bar of Windows Explorer on 'Local' and rename the Mozilla folder it the same way.

    Then when you run the installer, Firefox does not detect your old settings and should put in place the new files.

    Moreover, you can get the latest installer here:

  • HP Pavilion DM1: Pavilion DM1 * clean * Win7 install... no COA sticker?

    My wife has an HP Pavilion DM1 is a slug running and I want to do a clean install of Win7 without all the bloatware that is come upon her, but realized that this little book is not a Microsoft COA top sticker to do the reinstall.  HP did ship of this machine without an activation code Win7 on it?  If Yes, is there a way I can get the code to make a * clean * install or should I just use the system recovery disk to go back to the factory?  I have a few old machines COA stickers, but did not burn one if I had to.  Any help/info is appreciated.

    You are the very welcome.

    The recovery disks should be pre-activated and there should be no need to enter a product key.

    But you will need to uninstall the bloatware that will be reinstalled, unless your recovery disks for a reduced recovery.

    In addition, this means that I can never use the HP device will support the wizard again to check my warranty, or it may cause problems with warranty?

    Yes, wifi and BT will be under network and you need each... even with chipset... it will be the actual chipset driver and then a few pilots with as maybe usb 3.0... you say your usb ports are all black inside... all must it the SS lightning software then it? This is another indicator of usb 3. Basically, you need a driver with each title and take the one with the most recent release date.

    You see not what I need, then... I ask ;)

    Cleaning of my HD and when I see an update is a security update, or an update of the program... when it is such that it is "installed", I can't get off right?

    I'm a sense of remove programs section in the control panels... I want to just make sure that it is the "shell" update and will not affect the program, etc...

    TIA to ALL!

    You should not remove installed updates because it would leave your system vulnerable/unpatched.

  • Don't Aspire Switch 10 no sound after clean windows install

    I installed a clean version of windows 10 (not acer windows) earlier and since then against hepatitis has ever had his fate of the speaker or headphone output port. If I connect to HDMI or use the bluetooth speakers it works, but it's pretty rare that I do and it is certainly not practical.

    The drivers are updated, ive tried reinstalling them, fitness again with windows, playing with the bios but it is very limited with what you can do. I was going to attempt to reinstall the factory windows version 8, but I can't know exactly how do.

    If I go to playback devices, he thinks it works. the sound bar changes when I play something but no sound.

    It is intel audio device (WDM) OSH if this is useful.

    you have any ideas how I can fix these problems?

    Thank you

    Go to Device Manager > view > show hidden devices. If you have other devices > IWD Aud-Device_6, uninstall it. Then restart your system. Go to Acer supports downloads of drivers for your model. Download Realtek Audio Platform Installer from pilots and quick access. Install Reltek and then restart the system. Install quick access, then restart. Finally install the drivers for the platform. Restart and you should have sound.

  • Do a clean Windows7 install

    To sell my laptop, I want to do a clean install of Win7.  I want to use DBAN (secure file deletion software) to ensure that any personal information is left on the laptop.  If I'm running DBAN on the entire hard drive (including on top of the recovery partition) I'll be able to install the OS on the HD using just the recovery of the DVD that I burned using the Recovery Manager?

    In addition, you have other tips that you think I should follow before selling?

    Yes, it must be installed using the recovery discs...

    UH...

    DBAN is great utility to not destroy your personal data, so no worries...

    kbrowne,

    This is a mistake of repetition or was it an appearance of time? If so run Windows Update (click Start Pearl-> click on all programs-> Windows Update-click-> click on check the updates), that solves the error message? If it does not continue:

    You run your installation from disc retail or manufacturer / recovery partition? Any changes since your last installation material?

    Please provide your computer make and model number, so that we can check the possible updates.

    ------------------------------

    First, run the System File Checker utility:

    To determine if the problem you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool analyzes the system files and replaces incorrect versions of system files by using the correct versions.

    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
    2. Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
    3. To order invites, the following line and press ENTER: sfc/scannow
    4. When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

    --------------------------------------

    Next time you get this message do the following:

    1. Click Windows Logo (start)-> to the type of research - start Event Viewer, press ENTER. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue.
    2. The event viewer is now open, in the left pane expand Windows Logs, select Application.
    3. In the right pane you will see a list of events, look for a red Logo with the error and a Source of explorer.exe, double-click it to open it.
    4. Click on copy, then paste (press CTRL + V on your keyboard), results in your response.
    5. Close the event viewer.
