  Hi Paul,.

  This article was created when users have faced problem with old drivers for AMD graphics card.

  Yes, you can upgrade to the last 16.1 pilots and who should work well however, you should have 1 GB VRAM or more to take advantage of the GPU processors.

• 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.

• try to install Medal of Honor Airborne on 32-bit vista, and problems with the windows firewall starts do not.

  OK, im losing my mind.

  I bought a copy of airborne for my 32 bit vista system and found initially that I had to do a few tricks to install and play it like UN-installing ageia phys-x, it was simple enough. Well I have had since stopped playing it and would try to uninstall without result. I tried to fix it and using "C-cleaner.

  I went down some of the files, but I think that my registry is a little buggy so I tried blocking it with c cleaner, he sure found several errors and fixesd them.

  Well, I'm trying now to re - install MOHA and when I put the disc and click autorun the pre-start games window appears with the usual options, play, upgrade, site Web etc... I hit play, it does nothing. I tried to uninstall it from the disk and to halfway through she said "MOHA has not stopped the Installation Wizard prematurely try again later". I can't repair or uninstall or install. I read somewhere that it is a firewall with windows problem and if I run my firewall victory "which I have never on", this should work if the software is added to the 'green' list on the firewall.

  now I find that I can not get my firewall to start. I researched and found a few forums where people explained to the services command prompt and tried to 'start' several 'order' in there and firewall programs will not start giving me this error-windows cannot start service windows firewall. and the code of error-6801.

  I am a novice to tooling autour under the 'software' hood of PCs. I know a bit about the material and that's it. anyone has any ideas for me? otherwise I'm looking to another disorder vista install, I had a moment difficult, installation of the 1st hour and im not not looking forward to try it again...

  Thanks in advance, has soon - a fool lose his mind...

• Western Digital drive hard problem

  I have a western digital HDD (WD1200U017-000 model number) that is not recognized by Windows Vista. It was recognized and work earlier, but is no longer working. I tried to re-boot and unplug several times. I know that the camera itself is functional because it works on other machines running windows XP. I just bought this new computer with Windows Vsta last week, I checked for updates and installed all of them.   The hard drive does not load all or appear in Device Manager. The site digital Western said that Vista should provide a driver automatically.

  I had the same problem with the same 2.5 "laptop (DND: wd1200u017-000) device. I'm using win7 x 64 op system. I've tried all what WD site suggested, but nothing has worked. I tried win automatic troubleshooting, too, but it has not worked.  Computer restart, disconnected-plugging device, driver update internet or win dirivers haven't worked.

  After that, I found a solution, which worked in my case.

  I went to the Device Manager and looked for hard drive devices. I found one called unknown device or anything else. I chose option to remove, unplugged the unit, then plugged in again, and it started working. If you do not in the Device Manager list, perhaps it does not work on your computer. (I use no adapter cable. single USB cable).

• Western Digital drive hard problem; Forced to Format

  I have been using an external hard drive Western Digital Home Edition 500 GB with Windows Vista for more than 8 months without any problem.  Recently, I used the hard drive on a computer running Windows XP (also without any problem).  Now, the hard drive does not open on Windows Vista.  It is recognized in my computer, but when I try to open the location she reads, 'the drive must be formatted before use".  The drive still works under Windows XP.  I would rather not format it, because I didn't save my data :(

  102,

  First of all, make sure that it is not the hardware on your computer:

  1.) try all USB ports on the machine in question with the external hard drive

  2.) try other USB devices on the machine as well. You get the same result?

  Sometimes this is also caused by software conflicts. Anything to be downloaded or installed recently?

  It can also be caused by the power surges that occur in your home. Thunderstorms through here lately? Do you use a surge protector?
  If everything else seems to work very well, another cause can also be a virus. Update your virus definitions, then run a full system scan. Thank you, Jeremy M - Support Engineer

• Qosmio G30 - need two Windows operating systems: Vista and XP

  Hello

  can someone help me on the following application procedures:
  I need two operating systems on my Qosmio: Vista and XP
  I have two drives RAID inside my Qosmio and I installed Vista on the first.

  I tried to install XP on the second hard drive and I did (I have inserted XP installation disk and sellected second disc for installation), but after installation I got just the XP startup option.

  I can see all the files of Vista on the first disc, but allows boot XP only. Directory Windows XP was intalled on second drive, but boot.ini and some system files have been at the root of the first disc.

  I liked Vista and I repeated the procedure (with my recovery CD of Vista) and now I have Vista on the first disc and all files of XP on the second disc. I do not study how to get full XP on the second disk bootable system.

  What I need:
  Vista on the first hard drive.
  XP on the second disk

  I would have completely independent Windows System. This means that I have to start selection of BIOS, not Vista or XP.

  Hello

  It's very strange. If you have installed the first Vista and XP as a second OS then the Vista boot manager must exist usually.

  Please note that Vista uses 2 partitions. A partition is not visible. I hope that you have installed XP on this partition.

  In any case, I recommend you to create a new partition on the first HARD drive and you could install XP as second operating system.

  After this installation, you can use applications freeware like EasyBCD or VistaBootPRO to change the Vista Boot Manager.

• Satellite A100-906 and Western Digital 250 GB

  Dear all,

  First of all, I want to offer my congratulations on your forum certainly useful. In regards to my laptop, I have a Toshiba A100-906. I've updated his memory to 3 GB and now I would like to upgrade its HDD as well. I think to buy a * Western Digital hard which has capacity of 250 GB *. I wonder, what is the maximum size of hard drive for this laptop and if it takes in charge the HDD that mentioned above.

  Thanks in advance
  STL of Greece

  Hello

  Well it's not easy to tell if a 250 GB HARD drive would be recognized by the BIOS as Toshiba doesn't provide any details on the maximum size of disk HARD possible.

  Is that a BIOS doesn t supports all sizes of HARD drive due to some limitations.

  But in my opinion it is not possible to use the 250 GB HARD drive. I think that it s all just too big.
  However, this is only my suggestion and maybe you should review it to make sure if it of possible or not.

  Best regards and have a nice day buddy

• Installed Windows & 32 Bit drivers and USB ports don't DO NOT WORK.

  I bugh a laptop HP Pavillion 14 TS who came to preinstall Windows 8.1 64-bit I hate so wiped the drives and installed Windows 7 32 bit and now I have a big problem.  None of my network drivers work and 2 uSB ports where I plug in my mouse and other devices of SB to do more work.

  I did a back up of the established SW leader who has all the HP dvers for my laptop but will not install the network and video of divers. And when I try to install the drives, I get the error message saying that they are not compatible with this version of Windows.

  I loked on the HP site under my model of laptop that s as above, but HP don't do my notebook drivers for Windows 7 32. And I looked on both the Realteck site for network wireless Realteck and Ethernet Realteck drivers but none of them work or install on my OS. Intel video drivers do not work either. So I'm really stuck one I can not return to 8.1 Windows as if that 32-bit Windows 7 works on my laptop but most of my drivers is not compatible with the operating system and I don't want not to install 64-bit Windows, I like 32-bit.

  Drivers that do not work on Windows 7 32-bit are:

  Realteck RTL8188EE 802 - 11 b/gn witeless lan

  Die Ethernet Realteck and

  Intel High definition graphics driver

  That don't work at all under Windows 7 32 bit because they are the only 64-bit drivers.

  So can you please post me a link network bth and drvers of graphics from Intel that works with my laptop. I tried many different drivers Realteck and raphics for Windows 7, but none of them DOES not work on my system. And none of my USB ports are no longer works. So, how can I fix this?

  Hello:

  Should be no problem to get W7 32 bit to work on this model.

  Just use all the drivers and software from the HP Probook 450 G0 on your model, except the Audio, BIOS and firmware files.

  Your model uses only the Intel HD graphics driver.

  The first pilot, you need to install the Intel chipset installation utility and reboot.

  Audio: Accept the agreement.  Download and install the driver first on the list.

• Transfer of 64-bit Vista to new hard drive

  My HD crashed and does not start.  I bought a new HD, but can not find the drivers to start it.  Vista came preloaded on the original disc so I have a HD docking station to try to transfer all files including vista to the new drive.  Any suggestions would be helpful.

  You can not just to transfer the system from one disk to another.  It must be installed per disk (or a partition of recovery if you have one).  If it came pre-installed, contact the manufacturer for a set of recovery disc (for a small fee) and see if you have a recovery partition and how to access and then use them to reinstall the system.  You will need to manually install the drivers for the drive during the installation (it should ask to insert a record with them on it and you should be able to obtain from the manufacturer of disk hard - if not, return the drive and get one where drivers are available).  You will then need to transfer your data - but that's all.  You will need to re - install all your programs, re - install all Windows updates and service packs, reconfigire your network and other parameters of software...  These things cannot be transferred.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!
