Lenovo G780 laptop refuses to accept drivers after a clean install
Hi,
I have just run a clean installation for a neighbour on her Lenovo laptop G780. Her original W7Pro 64-bit installed perfectly then I downloaded the audio, graphics and LAN drivers, transferred them to a flash drive which I inserted into the laptop and started to install the drivers.
I've followed this proceedure on different makes (excluding Lenovo) for years without any problems but I guess there's always a first time and it was at this point, my troubles began.
As soon as I inserted the flash drive into the Lenovo, the following message appeared on-screen ...
"This version of this file is not compatiable with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version etc ... ".
In all, I downloaded 9 more, all of which gave me the same message.
According to all 10, all the references show that they're all suitable for 32 and 64 bit. I also accessed the laptop's Control Panel | System which clearly confirms that the System Type is 64-bit.
Can anyone help me please?
Michael.
