  • My Aspire V7 582PG cannot detect external monitors

    I recently bought an Aspire V7 582PG, put in a new SSD and then installed Windows 8. The laptop works well, except that it cannot detect external monitors (in Control Panel, I get "Has not detected a different view".) I tried with 2 monitors (different models) that are known to work, via HDMI and VGA.

    I thought it might be a driver problem. Device Manager > 'Graphics cards' show 'Display card base Microsoft' and 'NVidia GEForce GT 750 M. The two drivers are up-to-date. 'Monitors' shows 'generic PnP monitor", which is also updated.

    Then I went to http://us.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/drivers to download the driver for my model. The only one who had the relevant air was:

    MonitorELANTECHThe HID monitor drivers1.1.5

    Installer here: http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Driver/Monitor/Monitor_ELANTECH_1.1.5_W8x64_A.zip?acerid=635...

    But when I unzip and run the Setup window closes a few seconds; I think it hangs, rather than installing correctly.

    Any suggestions?

    My Acer tabs they need additional drivers to recognize the HDMI port.

    I think having unzipped in a directory and open a DOS window with admin rights and run the application inside that. At least if an error occurs, you should be able to see. Sometimes just doubleclicking opens and closes a window so fast that you do not see the error.

    Also in looking at support for a 'ultra' V7, I see several drivers for the chipset VGA and monitor. All may be required for the video display to work.

  • 8024402 cannot search the updates of Windows

    Hello

    Vista 64 HP with many problems. Has been purchased already installed by manuf. may 2009. Sent to them Jan 2010 to recover or reinstall the operating system due to the loss of the ability to install/uninstall programs after SP2. Now Windows Update (among many other things) has stopped working (apparently since March), even if the update is set to automatic. When I try manually 8024402C error code stops the attempt and it says that Windows could not search for new updates. Also, since on 25 March, I have been unable to use Windows Live Mail (freezes) and McAfee Site Advisor stopped working but is not disabled. Also have problems copy photos or documents and from my external hard drive; photos say the missing properties. Cannot change the documents if they are on my external (although I can change if external is connected to my Windows XP computer).  I disabled my antivirus/spyware/firewall and tried UPDATE but still the same error. I have been seeking assistance with Windows Live Mail since the start of freezing March 25 and isn't odd that UPDATING claims is the last attempt made on 25 March 2010 at 05:35 and the latest updates of installed Windows were as of 03/23/2010 at 06:53. What has been actually updated the 3/23 was "IE 8 compatibility view for WinVista 64 list based systems (KB980302) but I've seen compatibility disabled (unchecked). Windows has updated anything since 23/03/2010.

    I am totally frustrated with HP64 Vista. Help, please.  Thank you

    1. McAfee (and Norton) applications are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself. See if this triple McAfee fix solves the problem: http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS100507

    NB: #1 correction of the triple step has you uninstall the McAfee application. After that, make sure that the Windows Firewall is enabled.

    NB: Keep this useful link. Chances are that you will have to redo the fix three steps every time that the McAfee application is automatically upgraded to a newer version.

    2. now run this difficulty in default and aggressive modes: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058

    3. restart & test.

  • Cannot load external hard drive .itl file

    I'm trying to migrate my itunes to an external HD to new computer, Windows 10.

    The old computer had reached a miserable end of life due to obsolescence and lack of resources.

    For example, shortly before he died, I thought how to move all files including the media and the. ITL and the. XML for the EHD files.

    It seems that this may have complicated problems for the current process.

    The former. ITL file is there and intact. I try to IMPORT PLAYLIST, which is the closest thing to what I think I need, and it says that the file cannot be imported because it doesn't seem to be a valid exported file.

    I try to import the .xml and it is said that some of the songs in the Itunes music library file were imported not because they are not found. It means everything.

    I tried to hold the ALT key and open Itunes, as seen somewhere, but it's apparently a MAC function only. Windows opens a properties box, will not open the program and allow selection of the library as described.

    I also just tried dragging the .itl file itunes such as discussed in migrating to a new computer, but appears not to work either.

    If the old computer worked in anyway I will try to export the file. But alas, this is not an option.

    I currently complete my collection, but any piece of data has disappeared. I would really like to return?

    Thanks for nothing.

    Frank

    Hold down the SHIFT key while you start iTunes.  When you arrive it is fast:

    Click choose a library... then navigate to and select the iTunes Library (.itl file) hard disk external.  This is the only way to get iTunes to use a specific library - import, a double click, etc. have no effect.  Once you've done this iTunes will continue to use the library selected (without having to use the SHIFT-Start option) so that the external hard drive is connected and its drive letter does not change.

    You may need to check the layout of your iTunes library on the external HARD disk is correct - it should be like this:

    More specifically, the iTunes Library.itl file should be in the folder that contains the iTunes Media folder.  See tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  • Cannot find external hard drives - Windows XP Media Center

    I just got a new external HDD two days ago in the case where my old drive never fails. I have connected both to my laptop and copy all my old files from the old drive to the new. Yesterday, I clicked on 'Stop' under 'Remove hardware safely', and both readers suddenly stopped being recognized by my computer. When I plug in, they light up and run, but their records are not displayed in my computer. I don't get any error message (or any kind of message), but they always show upward under Device Manager. I tried to move the USB cables, restarted my computer, update device drivers, do a system restore and run a virus scan (some files on my drive C: disappeared recently, however, the scanner found nothing). I also tried to attach external hard drives to other computers, but they are still not recognized. Please help - I have files that cannot be replaced and the new cost of drive hard $100, and I don't want to go through the hassle of trying to get a replacement without warranty or invoice.

    Hard drives not recognized in all other computers as well? There lies the problem.

    Try to connect to some other computers (XP, Vista or 7) and see if the problem repeats.

    If so, your disks are dead (because no computers detect them).

    Download and run the utility to diagnoses of the Web site of the manufacturer of the hard disk to check for disk errors.
