  How did the 24-pin generic Epson driver described in the list of Windows 7?

  I do not see a pilot "generic 24 pin" in the list of Epson drivers on my Windows 7 system, but I don't see a driver for the GENERAL-3500 Epson ESC/P 2 ver 2.0.  The GENERAL-3500 is a flatbed printer 24 pin.  Is this the driver you used?

  I ask because this driver - considered to be for "Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and later" - is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in the Microsoft Update Catalog-->

  HI - we buy at present a large number of PCs and computers laptop toshiba for use at the University of the OU, we have our own software images specially created and supported (currently windows XP), we haven't really had problems in the past since we can format new computers laptops and re - install our XP image, however, NB500 netbooks seem not to have another win XP drivers We contacted toshiba and they said there is no xp for these drivers.

  We rely on producing an image of win7, it won't be immediately and is leading to the conclusion to stop buying these netbooks.

  It is true that there are no Windows XP drivers for these machines?

  Hey,.

  You can check yourself if XP drivers are available for NB500 or not. So, visit the Toshiba driver download page and search for of NB500 drivers:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Mobile > Toshiba > Toshiba NB series > NB500

  As you can see there is not available Windows XP drivers, and you use Windows 7.

  Of course, you can search on 3 pilot sites but there is no guarantee that you will get all the drivers and if they work properly.
  With other words: no official driver available.

• Windows 8 drivers for probook 4520 s?

  Hey, guys. Windows 8 recently got started and I'm anxious to try it, but there still are not any drivers for my model for Windows 8. I took a bit of searching and Bulgarian HP page indicates that all portable modells bought after 1.10.2011 are tested with Windows 8 drivers and as soon as the operating system comes out, the drivers will be available. Well the OS is out and still no drivers. I bought my laptop on 5.10.2011 so I think I'm up to the requirements for these drivers Win 8.

  Anyone has any info? Thank you.

  Hello nzim.  I understand that you have questions about upgrading to Windows 8.  I'm sure that you have already visited this page as you mention the date of October 1, 2011.  HP has decided to support the most laptops purchased after that date, but it will take time to get all the drivers tested and released.  So, keep a close eye on your page of product software and drivers for updates.

  Try this site to see if HP has now tested your laptop with Windows 8.

  Even if HP releases drivers for all hardware on your laptop computer parts, this does not mean that it will not work with Windows 8.  It simply means that some features may not work as expected or at all.  I suggest using Microsoft's Upgrade Assistant to determine how well your laptop support is currently.  I used this on my own 5 year old laptop and almost everything has been supported, but not by my manufacturer directly.

  In addition, some people have had success using the Windows 7 drivers.  If you decide to try Windows 7 drivers you install them one at a time and check the functionality before installing another.

  I hope this information was useful!

• Error - EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found and fix crashes in Windows XP Pro computer.

  Original title: during repair XP Pro from the disk installation, everything crashes.

  I am writing this plea on my desktop, pc Win 7 it. The pc is older and elsewhere in the House.

  Due to the white/white space in Add/Remove Programs, after checking the extent of possible for viruses, corruption Reg, etc., the advice of consensus was to reinstall the Windows, using the disc (this XP Pro was on the HARD drive when I got the pc - new to 2009 - and I did the back-up recommended/controlled , and that's what I was doing Rcounter Set up, around 1700 BST.

  Everything seemed to go OK, but black screen of Windows is now the small hourglass circulating and 'Please wait '.  The HARD drive is flickering, but it's been more than 3 hours!

  My second pc was rotten, and I had to reinstall or repair XP Home [disk] a few times. It is only 35 GB, compared to more than 100 on the pc in question - but I've never met before delay.

  Installation messages were as follows:

  EPPkt.sys and c:\windows\system32\drivers\afw.sys not found.  I checked this point, and it should not have caused any problems. It has also sought a labeled disc 'Machine Virtual Network Services', which no doubt, since I did not, was never necessary.

  I'll leave it on - but...

  Help, please!

  Well, I had to bow to the inevitable. Please accept this response as a ' I've been there - it could happen to you. "

  I spoke to BT [they provide my broadband] and the helpful guy asked me to look at the installation and reinstall in a different place. It's OK, but [, BUT] some of the drivers have been zapped in eternity. PCI, sounds, videos. The guy thought BT that these had been modified or replaced since the beginning, whereas they were not available. The XP Prof is on the pc when I got it, but I assumed that the pilots were on the backup disk, I did. No, they were not. And how to go online to search for them if we could not put in place the ethernet connection?
  So, I bought Win - 7 it 32-bit full ed. [be too afraid to try an upgrade].

  It could have been a response in the migration of these from other drivers, but I guess it was time to go.

  As I can't afford to buy new COREL, MS Word, etc, I have installed free VMWare player as a host for my older progs in a virtual environment.

  Another thing came out of this: although what remained of XP has been saved by 7 as WINDOWS.old, I am very happy that I had a HDD eternal with ntfs to preserve my files and installable 3rd party progs.

  I hope this might help someone - thanks for the info.

• U330 Windows 7 drivers does not work

  Hello

  I was recently in the process of updating all my drivers on my u330-2267EU for the latest versions of Windows 7. I was waiting for this update on the site of drivers for a while since I was able to get Windows 7 installed before Oct. 22 release. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I'm running into some trouble with these latest drivers doesn't work does not correctly.

  (Using Win 7 64 - bit Versions) U330 driver download site: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com/en/DriversDownloads/drivers_list.aspx?CategoryID=16

  Switchable Graphics: there are 2 new Windows 7 drivers related to the video I downloaded. One referring to the ATI graphics card discrete address and the other to the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. After installing these two, for switchable graphics BIOS setting and run the switchable graphics program from the desktop after startup, the menu desired with the ability to switch the GPU to gpu performance of energy saving. When I click on the button "gpu high performance ', the screen flickers and fades to black momentarily as it should, but when the screen comes back and then wait for a few minutes, no switch, it just stays in the powersaving gpu. Suggestions?

  Power management software: I also downloaded Energy Management Windows 7 Lenovo driver for the u330. After installing the software, I was initially able to bring up the menu to change power options, but the options I chose would not involve no apparent change. After you install the program, it actually, my screen unable to change its brightness using the 'function + arrow' key combination. Also, more is when I change my windows default power supply options she adjusts the brightness of my screen. It remains just the same no matter what. The only way that I can now change my display brightness is by going to the Intel GMA graphics settings and change the settings there, but it's a completely horrible way to have to do that.

  So now that you have it, after all this waiting I have always to use switchable graphics, or properly use the Lenovo power management software. Oh yes, and I can not adjust the brightness of my screen. I have re-uploaded and re-installed the drivers several times to try to make them work correctly, but so far no luck.

  I would greatly appreciate any help on the subject or at least have the knowledge that someone at Lenovo noticed these problems and a fix will be available soon

  Thank you!

• Boot Camp 6 - Windows 10 drivers

  I have currently a workspace Windows 10 bootable on an external hard drive that I have plug into my 2015 retina MacBook Pro. It works with my Mac because of the many Boot Camp drivers I had installed there. However, an attempt to get scroll work on my magic mouse (the only thing that does not work, oddly enough), I accidentally deleted a couple of drivers who make a programme of work that will give my scrolling the mouse capabilities. I also accidentally deleted some audio drivers, so now there is no sound. I thought I could get just the Boot Camp 6 I had and charge on that these pilots back, but unfortunately, I seem to have lost this file too! I scoured the Internet, but to no avail. Simply, I can't find a download for the drivers of Boot Camp 6.

  A little help, please?

  Yes, you can download the drivers using the wizard of BC. (Older versions of Mac OS X also have equivalent facilities).
