What is Reddit's opinion of 3DP Chip?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I actually use a set of programs called 3DPNet and 3DPChip for that - 3DPNet has close to a GB of Network Drivers, and it auto detects the correct one for you to install, and 3DPChip is for once you are connected - It handles Video, Sound, Chipset, etc.

http://www.3dpchip.com/index_3dpchip_pre.html - No idea what 3DP Cleaner is though, that's new.

Edit: On a related note, I have a PC that will fail during Windows Install, unless you open the F10 console and manually run msoobe.

You can download this: http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Put it on a stick, has every network driver. Run it after you install Windows if he doesnt update/install it automatically for you.

Have you tried the manufacturer's website? Sometimes they have tools to detect the model and install all required drivers for your hardware(or at least get you part of the way).

If not, try 3DP chip/net. Chip just informs you and offers links to driver downloads. 3DP Net adds ability partially automate the download/installation for you. 3DP Net would be the best bet "without having to go into technical stuff". ;)

Official website: 3dpchip.com

Download a copy of 3DP NET, its a driverpack for Ethernet and WLAN drivers all rolled into one. Copy it into XP via the method explained by anzurakizz (using OTG cable and phone that should appear as a removable device) and run the program, it should find the device and you click on the device to install the relevant drivers.

Have you installed an antivirus yet? If you have already installed antivirus, download 3dpnet and install it.This program will install almost all network drivers.Next step is to install Snail Driver and run it.It will detect the components of your pc and let you download the drivers for it. You can also download the specific drivers for your motherboard from Gigabyte site after identifying the name from Snail Driver program. For restoring drivers from your old hdd read this.

Edit:spelling

I have had moderate success with 3DP Chip Net, its basically a whole bunch of ethernet and wifi drivers from many manufacturers all rolled into one. If you're lucky it will be able to install your Wi-Fi drivers in no time.

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Download 3dp Net and copy it across using a USB stick. Run it and it should install the correct network driver, or at least a basic driver to get you back online do you can download an official one.

If you can get network access on the laptop somehow, there's two pieces of software I use that are brilliant for getting Drivers.

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php - Has every network driver known to mankind! http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/chip_down_en.php - Basically a free driver genius that has been a brilliant tool to have.

This is pretty much my pendrive tool kit, get the network card working then download the drivers!

You could try downloading from another PC or using your phone try the 3DP net universal driver pack. Its designed to have most USB wifi and network card drivers. After downloading, you can then copy to the computer either via Wi-fi or by plugging in the phone directly and copying the program.

Try 3DP Net, its a package for most network card drivers. It should work. Once you have the network drivers setup you should be able to get the other drivers via Windows Update or through the web.

edit: Also that's not how you should do things, sure it worked, but you're supposed to install Windows 7 on the machine you want to use it with. Its cool that it worked but you shouldn't do this often it, on older version of Windows it would bluescreen if you tried swapping like you did.

Also for bluescreen issues you should read the error message and see if there is any info in them like an number or maybe a specific file giving issues.

I use this 3DP Net for network drivers, works most of the time. It basically a huge bunch of network drivers in one package, along with the ability to detect which one is needed. That's usually enough to get you started.

edit: If that failed, you need to explain why error message you get when installing drivers. It could help us pinpoint the issue.

> I have to track down to just the network interface, that makes my life that much easier.

Your wish is my command:

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Can detect most network cards and even some USB wifi dongles and install the correct drivers.

Ideally you'd want to grab the latest driver from the manufacturer website every time, but if you're feeling lazy or have some driver you just can't seem to find check out 3DPChip. The website looks sketch as hell, and even the program looks pretty sketchy, and it at least used to offer to install some PUP during installation (I haven't used it in a while).

But, it is damn good at finding that driver from some defunct company or for a legacy device or just seems to be missing from the manufacturer site for some reason.

In the end it is a seriously bad ass little tool

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/chip_down_en.php

I've seen this before. It was a driver issue for me. Snag this 3dpnet and move it to that device and install a different WiFi driver just to see if you get different results. http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

I suppose you're already on Device Manager.

Select the device > Details > Hardware Ids. Copy one of them, throw it on Google and download the driver. If you're not able to find a matching driver, try the following Hardware Id.

Or use 3DP Net.

1. on an internet connected PC, download *3dpnet* from http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php
2. install on problem PC
3. run program and let it install your network driver
4. hey presto

edit: corrected the program and link

Alternatively, download 3DP Net on another computer, move it to a flash drive, and run it on your laptop. It will install most any network driver based on what wireless card you have. The GUI can be a bit weird, but basically click the name of the card in the bottom of the window and it should start doing its thing. There are also tutorials online.

There is a freeware program i typically keep on my windows install USB(s) called "3DP Net" that works great in this instance. It'll install drivers for a vast majority of Ethernet and WiFi adapters.

Hope this helps. :)

If you don't have any driver disks or anything, there there is a nifty little program called 3DP Chip and 3DP Net. The 3DP Net will find a network card driver that is for your card so you don't have to be online for it to find the driver. You'll need an internet connection before using 3DP Chip. 3DP Chip will gain all of the drivers your computer can install based on the hardware and you can download/install straight through there. Great tool to use, with the plus side it doesn't costs anything at all.

Another option is like others have said, and that is to go to the manufacturers site for the drivers as well.

In the device manager, get the PCI IDs from the advanced (i think) tab. Post them here (just the VEN_ID and the DEV_ID is what we need. That should help us locate the device.

A good friend and tech recommended 3dpchip as a driver search and install utility. Haven't tried it yet, but do plan to.

Have him check his proxy and DNS settings in windows. If you're not sure the proxy should be off unless he has a specific use for one and the DNS should point to a known DNS provided by his ISP or Google's DNS (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4). If he can ping '8.8.8.8' in the command prompt but he cannot ping 'www.google.com'. Then there is most likely a problem with his DNS/IP configuration.

You could also have him check to see if his ethernet/wifi drivers are up to date. If he cannot connect to the Windows update service then look into 3DP Net by Nirsoft as an alternative offline installer for networking drivers.

Have you tried using 3DP Chip? If you're able to use an Ethernet connection (I'm assuming it's just wireless that doesn't work?), it'll automatically detect your hardware and give you a compatible driver download link. Let me know!

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Find a way to download this and then run it on your machine, it'll install a generic LAN driver.

After that, Windows Update should take care of most of the missing drivers.

Did you recently uninstall or mess with the driver at all?

If that is the case, 3DP Chip and 3DP Net are usually what I use to get (workable) drivers.

Welp, I'll share some tidbits of wisdom I've accumulated from here and there.

First: A great guide for why and how to unpark your cores.

Second: This Wiki article on easy lag fixes has a shortcut option for running multi-threaded, the default option in the Source Engine (at least the 2007/Orange Box version that Vindictus runs off of) for multithreading is wonky at best and known to cause all sorts of problems but I never encountered them through the shortcut parameters.

Third: Use 3DP (or a program with a similar purpose, I just trust 3DP so I use it) to make sure all your drivers are up-to-date.

Finally, seeing as I'm playing the part of tech support: Have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?

I hope one of these solves the problem, or at least rules out some causes.

One of my favorite tools for this situation is 3DP Net http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php.

It detects your ethernet/WiFi card and installs a suitable driver so that you can get online. I recommend downloading it to a flash drive or your phone and transfer it to your freshly reloaded PC.

If you uninstalled your network adapter and don't have the drivers just use 3dp net

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

download it from here with whatever you're using now for internet, and run the program it will install the drivers for any network cards on your computer so you can access the internet again.

use 3dpchip to check for newer drivers, make sure no ancient ones show up. Open up Run box and type eventvwr.msc to open up the event viewer. The "system" section might show any critical errors such as with the disk.

One tool I often use to be sure to grab the newest driver versions is using 3DPchip http://www.3dpchip.com/index_3dpchip_pre.html

I'm sure other Redditors can vouch for it too. The page looks a little spartan and even sketchy but it does work pretty damn well.

The reason I use it is motherboard manufacturers tend to abandon them after a while and newer software might be available but they can't be bothered to update the mobo page. 3DPchip saves me a lot of hassle.

On another computer, download 3dp chip at

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Save it to a thumb drive and transfer it to your new computer. DO NOT just run through the installation clicking yes. Do the customized install and deselect the crapware options. After that, it will get you at least a good enough driver to get online with.

http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/inspiron-n411z/drivers

Download and install these, you can ignore everything else:

Install the HM67 Chipset Driver first, then install everything else in any order. You don't have to restart between each one. Just select no if asked to restart and install everything.

Applications: Quickset

Audio: Conexant Driver

Chipset: Renesas USB3.0, HM67 Chipset, Intel Management Engine, Realtek Card Reader

Mouse, Keyboard: Dell Touchpad Driver

System Utilities: St Microelectronics Motion Sensor Driver

Video: Intel HD 3000 Driver

Network: Qualcomm Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast/AR8151 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

For the wireless, there are different ones and I can't tell which wireless card yours is using.

To make it easier, download this program:

http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

Click USA to download. It will auto detect your card. I don't recommend installing their driver, just find out the name of your wireless card (click the + sign at the right to toggle between ethernet and wireless). After you find out which one you have, go to the dell download site and download that one.

For some of these, Windows update will find and update them.

Download the internet drivers from another computer first and then transfer them to the Dell via USB.

If you need just the network drivers, I recommend using 3DPNet, http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/3dp/net_down_en.php

It's an installer for ethernet and wireless drivers, it's used offline, and has practically all network drivers integrated, easy to use, it finds and install your network cards, I use it at the shop I work at, made life much easier.

Try 3DP. Collection of drivers that may work, uses a different way of installing them.

Just extract, run the application, and choose the wifi driver.

Open Device Manager, go down to Sound, Video, and Game controllers, double-click your audio device, click on the Driver tab, two options are Update Driver and Roll Back driver. Roll Back allows you to install a previous version of the driver, so if that's unavailable(grayed out) you basically only have the option to install a new driver.

Download 3dp chip.

Launch it, under Multimedia it'll likely list your audio device, otherwise click the plus sign to the right of it to cycle through devices in that category. Click on the Multimedia region to launch a web browser with drivers for that device, choose your Windows version as appropriate, download and install the new drivers, reboot afterwards.

Please mark this as solved if it is!

Otherwise, I recommend http://www.3dpchip.com/3dpchip/index_eng.html as we use it in our computer repair class and it seems to work great. 3dp chip finds drivers for all kinds of software, and 3dp net finds network drivers
