    ===========================================

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    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 - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

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

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    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 - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

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

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods above
    It is preferable to ensure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

    ===========================================

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method
    first.

  • Cannot configure graphics switchable + Catalyst Control Center has stopped working

    I have a hp pavilion 15 core i5 3230 M @ 2.60 GHz CPU processor running windows genuine 8.1 64 bit (version 6.2.9200).

    At first, I couldn't choose my Radeon HD M 8670 graphics adapter in the settings for my games and more recently, it has become worse now in the sense that I now get the following message appears when I try to configure graphics switcheble. "catalyst control center cannot be started. Currently, there are no settings that can be configured.

    Please I just bought this laptop for one purpose: Gaming. And his frustration that I cannot see the intel HD Graphics 4000, which is not enough to run my Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Please I need your help. I am average in computer science so please help me with the terminologies that are not too geek. Thank you and God bless.

    Hello Cfm56pilot,

    Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

    I understand that your CCC does not, preventing you to set your graphics card. I'll do what I can to help you with this problem!

    Normally, uninstall CCC, then your graphics driver is how to begin troubleshooting. Once they are gone, reinstall the graphics driver, then the CCC. I have seen this to solve this question several times. You can use HP Recovery Manager to reinstall the CCC and the appropriate driver. I'll give you a document containing the steps on how to do: use the Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers

    I think the problem will be solved for these measures. Whatever it is, please provide your results. Thanks again for the display on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Process of hand Control Center has stopped working

    I get a Microsoft Windows error message that reads; Process of hand Control Center has stopped working. A problem caused the blocking of the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. This happens when I start or restart my computer and when I try to scan using a printer Brother MFC-J5910DW new. My operating system is Vista 64 bit.

    I thought about it. So, for anyone else who has this problem, go to your C: Start menu, computer disc, Windows, System 32 folder, drag all the folders for the printers you use over your desktop. It worked for me. Hope this works for you.

  • Instant writing control center has stopped working

    Last week, whenever I start my Studio 1737, I get the error messages "starter tray does not ' and instant write Control center has stopped working.  It seems to affect my ability to use my cd/dvd player, when I put in a disc, I get a blue screen and the computer stops and restarts automatically.  I am running Windows vista and Microsoft Office.

    Hello

    The control of instant writing Center is part of Dell's proprietary software, you can try their support for further assistance: http://support.dell.com/

    Meanwhile, the blue screen error details are essential to understanding what is happening. Open the event viewer (just type in the start/search line) and check the logs of the system for a recording of the event. Alternatively, go to the settings control panel/system/advanced/startup and recovery settings and uncheck automatically restart in the event of a system error. Next time the error occurs, the error message will remain on the screen where you can copy the details. You will need to manually reboot later. Please post back with these details, in particular the BCCode, text settings, and all of the modules listed.

    It is recommended that you do not install the 13.2 version or any version directly on the site of AMD. I suggest to uninstall this version completely and the installation of the version I linked to in my previous post.

    The versions downloaded directly from the site Web of AMD into conflict with how works the material. It must be uninstalled before installing the 8.933.3.4000 version.

  • MS Updates caused problems "Media Center has stopped working"

    After the MS Updates this week, we have a problem with our Media Center. We have a HP Touchsmart IQ526 running Vista Home Prem when are connected to the Internet and our local cable system. Everytyhing worked almost without problems because we have installed in January. After that MS Updates this week required a reboot, Media Center stops whenever we change the channel - errors "Media Center has stopped working".  Sometimes when changing positions both with the remote control and with the mouse. Is there anything other than a reinstallation of Vista?  Can you help us?

    Hello Cwray

    Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

    This error message can occur if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. I suggest that scan you a file system [SFC] checker on the computer that would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.

    (A) the SFC scan enforcement procedure:
    1. click on the Start button
    2. on the Start Menu, click all programs followed by accessories
    3. in the menu accessories, right-click on command line option
    4. in the drop-down menu that appears, click the "Run as Administrator" option
    5 If you have the enabled User Account Control (UAC) you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
    6. in the command prompt window, type: sfc/scannow then press enter
    7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
    8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
    9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
    10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
    11 after the scan finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.
    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

    Check whether the problem is resolved.

    B. I also suggest you to rebuild the Media Center data store.
    To do this, follow these steps:
    1. Click Start, type run in the start search box, then click on run in the list programs.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    3. in the details pane, right-click right mediacenterdatastore.db and then click Rename.
    4 rename the file in mediacenterdatastore.old

    6. launch windows media center.

    Click on the link below to get more information on media center.
    http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/default.aspx

    C. I also suggest you to check the boot and if you are able to access the Windows media center.
    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. Boot stops interference with other third-party software on the computer.
    Steps to perform the clean boot:
    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.
    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.
    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.
    5. click on OK.
    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.
    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is solved, check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:
    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.
    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue. On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

  • Continuous error message: Dell Support Center has stopped working

    I have Windows V8ista on an Inspiron530s. With any surgery, I keep getting the following massage:

    "Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working                                                                                                                                                  Caused A problem blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. " For several weeks, I tried to find out the reason for the error message. It will appear in a small box several times per hour during any operation. (internet or a document) I find no answers in any forum. I have a printer All in one HP that I uninstalled & reinstalled the software, for, at the suggestion of another, but that has not solved the problem.

    AT the SAME TIME: I have Trend Micro Internet Security, (aka PC-Cillion) and although the firewall & defenses are up, I can't scan the computer for viruses. I spoke with trend micro Tech Support 4 times on the phone and various changes have been made, but not thhas solution. They seem to think that the problem is related to this error message.  I'm really tired. Can anyone help?  :?/

    Best advice would be to uninstall the DSS. As you find that it causes more problems then it helps.  Go to the Control Panel programs and features and are looking for Dell support Center and uninstall it.

Maybe you are looking for
