  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
  version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

• HP Photosmart C4780 cannot print (communicate) with Windows 8 Dell desktop

  Product name: HP Photosmart C4780

  Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit

  Error message: "the computer is unable to establish two-way communication with the device.

  Changes: I installed the "full functionality" print driver available on hp.com for Windows 8

  Description:

  I've uninstalled and reinstalled the driver updated several times now. Whenever the installation seems to have success, but it does not solve the problem.  I also tried to install the driver of "basic" printing for the Photosmart series, but I still have the same question.

  The printer is connected to the computer via a USB cable; I'm not currently using the wireless feature.  Thank you for your help with this.

• Windows VISTA Home Prem on DELL Inspiron 1521 will not start

  Read the message below. It has been copied from another thread and the poster has been informed to start a new thread with his question. What is ironic, is that I have exactly the same problem on my Dell.

  After downloading some updates to Vista my Dell desktop computer restarted and tried to load step 3 updates, it moves very quickly from 0% to 100% and then restarts, only to go back into the same loop of trying to set up step 3 and restart.

  I tried the following, starting in safe mode, same results updates are trying to configure.

  Auto repair, I am told by a message, it cannot be repaired.

  System Restore, I have only 2 system shown to restore points and they are at the time of the upgrade, if I try these points to restore I get an error message.

  I tried to reboot from the original installation provided CD but all I get is 'windows is copying files', then a black screen.

  I tried the boot iso but neosoft option again to the message windows is to copy the files, and then the black screen.

  I'm in thr stage where I can not think of anything else other that to go to a data recovery specialist, to recover the files most important (have over 200 GB of various things on the hard disk) and then reset to factory settings and load data and try and find the sources of all the programs that I had. It looks like an enormous task and it is the main computer for my business. If a kind soul has suggestions as to how I can get this situation somehow, I would be eternally grateful.

  Thanks in advance

  I'm fairly warned to get to a point to get my data before a complete reconstruction, however, I give that easy. Anyone else having this problem. I'd really like to find a way to solve.

  A lot of recovery options require you to enter the Bios and make sure that booting from a CD or floppy disk, is set to boot from the hard drive.  They are not started by loading Windows, they run outside any Windows environment.  If you cannot start your machine in this way can be unservicable and need repair or replacement.

  See if you can borrow an XP CD and load the Recovery Console.

  You can use them to load the Recovery Console?

• I have a 2012 w/Win7 Dell desktop computer, which has started to have a little slower. At the opening of a USB key.

  I noticed recently, I plugged the USB on my PC, has begun to open more slowly. One

  I use the most is small 4 GB and I bought some time ago. So, I thought it was the USB key. I've seen

  a 32 GB drive on sale for $13, so I bought it. But it wasn't the drive, because the new opens a little

  slow as well. This really isn't a big deal, it's only a moment or two more. What would cause this?

  I've owned 6 PCs, since I bought my first after that Win 95 came out. They've all got more slowly than

  they aged.  My current PC is very fast, so as long as it does not get more slowly, it will not

  be a problem. I think it's just something that happens on the PC as they age. I wonder why it is

  the case?  But in general, I am very happy with this Dell desktop computer. It does not use so much power that the

  2005 did. You can tell by the fact that it does not heat the room, as did the 2005. It is important to Florida.

  My new PC is also much lighter in weight and a lot faster. PC is really improved over time.

  Hi Doug FL.

  One suggestion would be to go to downloads and look for an updated driver chipset.

  In general, the PCs slow down over time because of all the waste that accumulates on them. A lot of people a re - install the Dell factory image after a few years to solve this problem. It doesn't take long, but it requires that you back up all your files and then reinstall applications once you have finished.

• Windows XP will not load on my old Dell desktop

  I have an old Dell desktop running XP Home Edition Service Pack 3. Initially, I had a conflict between IE8 and a scan of Norton Antivirus that prevented the IE to load.

  After trying to solve the problem without success, I've replaced IE from a backup. Complete restore IE all files, etc. have been restored from backup, but the recover window loop. I left it on for an hour or two before closing the window with the last program supposed to be running.

  Windows closed ok but would not initialize. He gets insofar as the welcome sign, then go to the bottom of Dell screen with a cursor arrow. I tried to re - start safe mode and used some of the options of diagnostic, but without success. What next please?

  What has been the backup from?

  3. Select the Safe Mode option with the arrow keys.
  4. Then press enter on your keyboard to start mode without failure of Vista.
  5. To start Windows, you'll be a typical logon screen. Connect to your computer and Vista goes into safe mode.

• Get a Code 10 error "this device cannot start' for my optical drive

  Hello

  I am running a Dell Studio 540 with the following specifications:

  Processor: Intel Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz

  RAM: 4 GB

  HD: 750 GB 7200 RPM SATA

  Graphics card: nVidia 9800GT 512MB

  OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit

  All the drivers and BIOS are up-to-date.

  My current optical drive is an Optiarc DVD +-RW AD-7200 s ATA Device Unit which has now disappeared from "My Computer". By opening the Device Manager, it has a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark inside. When I click on it that a new window will open and in the device status area, he said:

  This device cannot start. (Code 10)

  Currently, I have tried two methods without success. First, I downloaded the latest drivers/firmware for the optical drive directly from the Dell Web site, but to try to install, I get an error box saying that the "target drive is not properly".

  I also ran the Mats_Run.devices of the Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting services who correctly identified the problem, but said he could not address them and directed me to these forums.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you for your time,

  Hello

  The Code 10 error code is generated when the Device Manager has not enough information or error that spread upwards by device drivers is not recognized by Device Manager. In addition, this error may occur if one of the pilots who needs the unit does not start. If multiple drivers are used by a particular device, it can be difficult to determine which failed.

  As you have already tried updating the drivers for the device, you can just go through the article that talks about the Code 10 error.

• Problem with an old Dell desktop computer

  Hey guys :) first post here! Happy to be part of the community!

  My father has so some of these old Dell desktops at work that were purchased second-hand and some of them don't work at all. I was asked to provide assistance and we managed to get most of them and running outside.

  Long story short - when you plug the power cable into the PC, the fan runs for a very short time and the power light flashes green light after that the computer is ready to go.

  The problem with this particular computer is that when you plug the power on the computer the CPU fan starts to spin and power light blinks with a light orange and never stops. By pressing the power button has no effect. The power supply of the computer has been replaced, but the same problem persists (the power supply works normally on other computers). All the problematic capacitors have been replaced on the motherboard (which fixed this issue with other computers) but this has still not had any effect.

  The computer has been tested with its minimum parts bare, stripped of all readers of storage, RAM and anything else, but is still unable to boot to the BIOS or do anything.

  My question is - is this a known problem and what measures would be a good thing to determine the cause of the problem?

  Unfortunately, I do not know the exact model of the computer, but I have some pictures of what you can find here:

  

  

  

  

  

  Feel free to ask for additional information if required.
