VAIO series E - 14 p SVE14A290X and Windows 7

This laptop e series came with windows by default 8. I tried to downgrade since I received this laptop... but this VAIO does not really just play. This card is running UEFI is why I made a bootable FAT32 format ISO of Windows 7 with the appropriate changes (in order to have UEFI even recognize the usb device; it is creative \efi\boot and rename the bootmfgw.efi to BOOTx64.efi to \EFI\boot).

After a couple of hours and days of trial and error the laptop finally recognized my USB (by also have secure boot disabled in bios) but without success... displayed the error code 0xc000000d could not be read \efi\microsoft\boot\BCD.

I have started having disappointed with Sony VAIO really because I have never had this many questions without downgrading any other laptop...

Has anyone meet this issue before? Why is it so difficult for a mother UEFI enabled boot from a USB key...?

The "Assist" button is really the only way to get this laptop in UEFI boot mode? Are there no other button I can press on when you start to have this feature pop up?

Help, please! I really need to install windows 7 instead of windows 8 on this machine and I know I can't be the only one to have tried this!

Thank you!

  • is the number of identical series for a mac and windows version

    I bought CS6 standard in 2012.  This is the mac and windows version. Is the number of identical series for both?  I started with windows and now have a mac pro.  Adobe does not accept the serial number.  I already have activated 2 computers.  I can't tell if Adobe does not accept the serial number because I reached the max activations or the mac version has a different serial number.  It just says: the serial number is not valid.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    IIRC, they are different - you must contact technical support directly to solve this - we cannot do anything here to questions of activation.

  • Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

    There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

    DeskJet 710

    DeskJet 712

    DeskJet 720

    DeskJet 722

    DeskJet 810

    DeskJet 812

    Deskjet 820

    DeskJet 822

    DeskJet 1000

    The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

    [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

    First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

    Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

    Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

    This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

    This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

    Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

    Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

    Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

    MD c:\temp

    CD \temp

    Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

    [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

    Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

    *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

    Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

    Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

    Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

    Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

    NET Start Spooler

    Output

    [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

    At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

    Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

    If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

    Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

    Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

  • HP 15-AF006AX: need drivers for 15-AF006AX for Windows 7 and Windows 8 HP model

    Hello

    I recently bought two units of 15-AF006AX HP HP model and I installed Windows 7 on a laptop computer, & Windows 8 in another laptop, but do not want to upgrade to Windows 10.

    I tried to find the drivers, but it is not clearly mentioned that the drivers are for what operating system:

    http://support.HP.com/in-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-15-notebook-PC-series/7771410/model/8524986#Z7_30...

    In the details section of all drivers, it is mentioned that "the pilot is for supported operating system", but the OS is nowhere specified. I've seen lots of reviews for this model of laptop that drivers available for this model to the HP Web site are for Windows 10 & with these drivers, the laptop does not its 100% if the OS is not Windows 10.

    Please someone share me the links where I can get the drivers for this model for two OS - Windows 7 and Windows 8.

    (I guess that there are separate drivers for Win 7 and Win 8)

    Thanks in advance!

    @ashu5577: you need to look more closely at the drivers and software page.

    Just below the image of the laptop, there is a line, with a light blue background, that says "your operating system: Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows 8.1 and offshore at the right end of this line, the word CHANGE

    It shows Win8.1 for me because I am running 8.1; I'm running Win10, it would show Win10.

    You change the operating system by clicking on CHANGE and change the OS selection menu drop-down.

  • Compadability issues with fallout 3 and windows 7

    I already tried to go under XP, XP SP2 & 3, Vista, Vista SP1 & 2

    I run it on a laptop with intel core i5 4 x 3GB of ram and geforce gt 520 m, 330 m 1 GB vram
    It worked fine on my old computer laptop amd turion 2 x 4 GB ram ati 3200 m 256 MB vram
    It will work fine on full setting up until I get to where I select my _ while it freezes
    I also tried on minimum settings (set to low temperature preferably windowed 800 x 450) and it always fails at the same place
    My drivers are as up-to-date as possible (nvidia didn't even pilots from the 300 series to the top yet) and I had the cpu running task manager was used only 23% and total of 1.4 GB of ram and video card gets warm barely im wondering if it could be a problem of compadability with the new 300 series?

    I solved the problem I am running a core i5 520 m and geforce gt 330 m on a toshiba satellite p500-st6844 and it came out of the box with hyper threading enabled (the problem) fallout 3 would not run after a lapse of time or a change of scene sertai, I checked the permissions I even ran it under admin account I've updated to the latest version with a supposed windows 7 total compadability fix made sure I had the last ditectx taken care of by my gfx card, I also made, I got the latest nvidia drivers (nvidia still has not all drivers update for the Witch of the 300 series only makes no sense, because they have the same hardware/software as the 200 series) I finally decided to turn off hyperthreading to see if that had nothing to do with it and I seriously doubt that but to my surprise she has a great even better than my office upstairs with a 8800 gtx, so if you have a gambling problem where the game starts well but crashes after a short period of time or during a change of scene and you have active hyperthreading, that might be your problem

Maybe some drivers Acer that also works under Win8?

  • My solution for No Audio - drivers Conexant and Windows 7 x 64

    My son and I have the laptop L2000 comes with 32 bit XP and used the audio Conexant chipset. I had been using a SB Audigy PCMCIA card so I don't know when the Audio is really off. However, he noticed when I upgraded his PC. I went through different forums looking for 64-bit Windows 7 for Conexant audio drivers but nothing helped. Microsoft and Conexant both said that HP should provide the drivers. By the way HP, the Conexant site says that they provide no drivers, although they make the chipsets 'at the request of the OEM." Another post said that HP will not have to provide these drivers for Windows 7. The HP solution for my model and Windows 7 has been the "HP Software Advisor" who was 67 MB and totally unnecessary. It seems that it is a very common problem. In any case, here's what you do:

    First of all, you need 2 files that come quite ironically HP, they are SP35558.exe and SP35558.cva they contain drivers for Vista x 64 Conexant. (Later, I found the 32-bit drivers and the procedure should be very similar, except that the files are SP34789.exe and SP34789.cva). Type the following command in your browser address bar ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/ to half way down you will find the subdirectory with these files. Just right click on them and save it on your desktop.

    Double-click on SP35558.cva and tell Windows to use Notepad to open it. Scroll to halfway down to "[Operating Systems]" and after 'WV64UL = OEM' insert:
    W764HB = OEM
    W764HP = OEM
    W764PR = OEM
    W764UL = OEM

    (For systems 32-bit using W732HB = OEM, etc.).

    I then went up to about 10 lines "[system information]" and added

    SysId3 = 0 x 3091
    SysName3 = HP Pavilion ze2000 series
    SysId4 = 0 x 3096
    SysName4 = Compaq presario M2000 series
    SysId5 = 0 x 3097
    SysName5 = series Compaq Presario M2000
    SysId6 = 0 x 3097
    SysName6 = series HP Special Edition L2000
    SysId7 = 0 x 3093
    SysName7 = series Compaq Presario M2000
    SysId8 = 0 x 3093
    SysName8 = series HP Special Edition L2000

    I got this information from another cva file on my PC to C; / / swsetup, this is the directory where HP updates by default.

    After modding the cva file, I taped C; / swsetup/sp35558 /.

    Then, I run the SP35558.exe file. He failed the first time, I missed a line in my cva file. However, I then manually installed the Conexant drivers as follows and voila I had sound, beautiful crisp clear sound.

    "" In the Device Manager, right click "Multimedia Audio Device" under the heading 'Other' and choose 'update driver' then ' Browse your PC "and"choose from a list. Select "Audio, audio and game controllers", and then Conexant 'drive '. Navigate to C:/swsetup/sp35558/and open "cp6308Ba.inf" (don't forget 64-bit). Now click 'OK' and ignore all the warnings on the incompatibility, WHQL, etc.. Give her lots of time, you might think, you are in a loop, but you're not. Congratulations, you've completed.

    I thought that to recompile my answer and then mark this thread as resolved since it was not a post about a problem, but rather how I solved a very common problem that can be beneficial to others.

    After modding the cva file, I taped C; / swsetup/sp35558 /.

    Then I ran the SP35558.exe file and voila I had sound, beautiful crisp clear sound.

    The use of the CAL file is to streamline the installation of the driver and that's kind of cool if it works. If you can't find it, you don't succeed the first time, or you don't want to not bother with modding anything, don't worry, the installation manual will work for sure.

    Run sp35558.exe to extract all and let write off. Then go to Device Manager and update driver manually as follows:

    In Device Manager, right click "Multimedia Audio Device" under the heading "Other" and choose "update driver" and then "Browse PC" and "choose from a list. Select ' Audio, audio and game controllers', then 'Conexant', then 'drive '. Navigate to C:/swsetup/sp35558/and open "cp6308Ba.inf" (don't forget 64-bit). Now click 'OK' and ignore all the warnings on the incompatibility, WHQL, etc.. Give her lots of time, you might think, you are in a loop, but you're not. Congratulations, you've completed.

  • HP Pavilion n072sy-15 Notebook PC - where to find all the drivers for Windows XP and Windows 7

    Who knows where to find all the drivers for Windows XP and Windows 7 for HP Pavilion n072sy-15 Notebook PC?

    Hello:

    XP will not install or run on a PC with an Intel 8 series chipset, so you need not be concerned with finding drivers.

    Here is the link to a template that you can use the W7 x 64 bit drivers from.

    When you install the graphics drivers, first install the Intel HD graphics driver, reboot and then install the graphics driver nVidia.

    DO NOT USE ALL DOWNLOADS OF BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK

  • My laptop Sony VAIO with Vista will not connect and stay connected to my wireless internet.

    My laptop Sony VAIO with Vista will not connect and stay connected to my wireless internet.  All other laptops in the House are perfectly.  Internet disconnects, says local only, then reconnects constantly making internet hard work.

    Hi Tinkerbellfancolorado,

    1. When is this last work fine?
    2. Do you receive an error message or error codes?
    3. Recent changes on the computer?

    There could be several causes for this problem.

    Try starting with these methods.

    Method 1

    Step 1

    1. Open Network Diagnostics by right-clicking the network icon in the notification area, and then click diagnose and repair.
    2. Make sure that all cables are connected (for example, make sure that your modem is connected to a working jack or cable phone connection, either directly or through a router).
    3. Reset your modem and router. Remove the power cord from the modem or router, wait at least 10 seconds, then plug in the modem and/or router back.

    Step 2

    Another reason may be windows disable your network adapter to save power. Turn off the power saving option in the properties of the network (wired network only cards) card:

    1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
    2. Right-click on the connection and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. On the Networking tab, click Configure.
    4. On the power management tab, clear the allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option, and then click OK.

    Method 2

    Temporarily disable the firewall, and check the status.

    NOTE: To re-enable the firewall after check you the status. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your /firewall antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
