Clevo m570RU XP 64 Driver Problems!!!

Hey,

Received my 570ru today from PCMW (specs are in sig).

I got it w/o OS, so i installed XP x64 SP2.

WHen I put the drivers CD< it says OS is not supported. THere is no sound on the lappy, and I cant even see the battery meter...

Pls Help!!!

Thanks,
Hkman

 

The only drivers I find on the driver cd for XP 64 are:

Chipset
Modem
LAN
Cardbus
Cardreader
Touchpad
Wlan
Fingerprint reader

I think I saw a video driver for XP64 on Laptopvideo2go

 

So xp x64 is incompatabile w/ the 5792?

 

No, there is no such thing. It works, but XP x64 isn't supported by Clevo. Try Vista x64.

 

This is a first. I`ve heard of people running XP x64 on M570RUs so this makes no sense. Firstly , try stock drivers,all of them , and get them from the source(nvidia,clevo,etc).
If that doesn`t work,get another OS, I guess

 

From what I have read on-line, XP64 has a problem with drivers. Somehow, Vista 64 has better driver support than XP64.

 

No it hasn't any problems. Poor support from manufacturers, yes. Clevo has problems with drivers. Vista x64 is better supported by driver developers, that's the real problem here.

 

OK, so I got everything working execpt:

USB 2.0
Unknown device
Fingerprint
Network Controller
PCI flash Memory
PCI FLash Memory


How do I know if i Have the correct graphics driver?

 

For the PCI Flash memory try to uninstall the driver first, of course first try to run the setup under Cardbus from the CD. Then once its uninstalled it may pick it up, USB 2.0 Is the Camera for that try to install the STK115 driver first then Bison worked for me and restart, Finger print look under x64 should pick up the driver, Network controller is the intel wireless driver so run it from the CD as well and Unknown... i believe its something with the chipset or CIR but not 100% sure. But try the stock drivers first, I personally am creating a dual boot, and I’m using Windows XP Pro x64 SP1 still need to do the update. Good luck

 

Clevo has stopped XP x64 support since the previous generation notebooks.

The best OS's that has full support are:
- XP x86
- Vista x86 and x64

 

To the OP , you have 800Mhz RAm, but it will only run at 667.
Also, how are the temps on that X7900 CPU ? O_O

 

I will agree with the others here and say that XP 64 is not really worth it.

Your best choices are XP32 and Vista64.

driver support is probably better now for Vista64.

perhaps do what some other members are doing and set up a dual boot and use both operating systems.

I think that XP32 will still yield equal if not better gaming performance than Vista64 ( correct me if i am wrong )

 

Performance under XP is better, but it is likely you will notice any difference (with your eyes) compared to Vista.

 

ok, ill install Vista 64 SP1 RC1 today. I wanted to test w/ 3dmark on the Xp, but that didnt work either. Oh well...
