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.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.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.

  • Laptop does not start after installing vista sp2

    My Dell XPS 1530 stopped working after installing vista sp2. He gave me instructions for installation, step 1 of 3 and it went all that they way up to step 3 of 3 and said its closure and never came back...
    Please let me know, how to start the laptop.

    Hello GoogleGuru,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers forum.
    Because your computer does not start until the desktop computer, we were able to try the system restore to a point before you install SP2.
    Thus, with the computer is shut down. Press the power button, then press on and press F8 until you see the startup options, and then it will give you the ability to boot to the last known good configuration. (select it).

    If this does not work, you can try to boot from the Vista DVD and use the recovery console to perform a restore of the system to another point in time.

    Post back with the results.

    Thank you

  • Computer does not start after installing a new graphics card

    I am owner of a HP Pavilion H8-1020 with a processor intel i7 - 2600 s Windows 7 and am trying to upgrade my Radeon hd 6570 to a Gigabyte AMD Radeon R9 280 OC. I improved my diet for a Corsair CX750 to meet the requirements of power and installed with number. After the installation of the new card, which as far as I can tell is well seated in the pci slot and correctly connected to the PSU, my computer does not start.

    System powers on, all fans of begin to run including the fans on the new graphics card, but it does not begin the boot process, no entry is received at my monitors, no light on the keyboard, my OS starts loading, I can turn off the system without the delay that will flow normally. Then I reinstalled my old graphics card and the computer started as usual.

    Now, assuming that the card is not DOA, which unfourtunatly I have no way to verify, and I'd like to see if it could be another problem before going through the process of restitution. I did some reading on the internet, which helped, but did not help for a technological neophyte like me.  Now, I know a few things that could cause this problem but lack the necessary skills to determine what question is making me. What I've read, these could be possible questions:

    1: my new graphics card is not compatible with my motherboard. It's something I know now that I should have checked before buying and something I should theoretically be able to do it now, but I am at a loss on how to do it. My card is compatible with my motherboard?

    2 could be a BIOS problem. I updated my bios driver with the version provided by the HP site. I am running FRIEND 7.16 05/10/2011.  And from what I've read it might have something to do with my bios to UEFI mode and I would need to go to a legacy mode so he can recognize a new device, is it true? I am extremely wary of messing with my BIOS settings for fear of bricking my system. How can I check my current BIOS settings are and what I should change and how would approach I change them? Will one of these changes affect my system if they are not what is not causing the problem?

    In addition to these issues, anyone know any other matter which may be the cause of the problem that I should look for? Thanks for any help.

    Hello @Eric_Z,

    I can see why you are having problems with your new graphics card, and to get to the fast response that your motherboard is not compatible with the new graphics card that you have purchased. And here's why.

    Your motherboard according to the page HP Pavilion HPE h8-1020 Desktop PC product specifications is the Carmel motherboard, which has the following expansion slots:

    • A PCI Express x 16
    • Three PCI Express x 1 connectors
    • A PCI Express Mini Card x 1

    As there is no version indicated for your PCI Express x 16 it slot means that it is version 1.

    Now, your previous graphics card was a PCI Express 2.1 x 16, which means that it was version 2 and compatible with your PCI Express x 16 slot on your motherboard. However, the new card is PCI Express 3.0 and will not work in your motherboard due to a compatibility break. While the technology is supposed to be compatible there are many cases where it is not, and I'm afraid that you meet one of these cases.

    I am offering an overclock.net article entitled: the final answer to the controversial compatibility of PCIe x 16 version. where your situation has been tested and examined.

    I hope this helps. Have a great day and thank you for display on the HP Forums!

  • computer does not start after installing video card

    I, m new here so please bear with me.  I have a PC HP Pavilion Media Center TV (m7434n) I'm trying to replace the video card (Nvidia GeForce 6200SE with Turbo Cache) in. I am trying to replace it with a Nvidia EVGA 8400GS. I delete all the nvidia drivers, make sure that the pci-e card is used in the implementation. I have then to remove the old card and install a new one. When I try to start the computer, fans turn on but that's all.  There is nothing on the monitor.  The computer does not start. I replaced the power supply bestec 300 watts with a new antec brand 430 watt power supply.  When I reinstalled the old video card, the computer starts ok. I tried to replace the video card with an ATI Radeon HD5550 too and it's the same thing (the computer would not start), reinstall the old card and it starts up fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Gary,

    You may have a compatibility issue with the ATI HD 5550 and 2006 PC model.  I've seen other posts where ATI 5xxx video card did not work in older HP PCs.

    When you are referring to the installation of the older video card do you mean going back to the integrated video card?  Moving the video cable to the card installed?

    Install the NVIDIA 8400GS and connect the video cable. Now follow the instructions for clear the CMOS.

    Train from my own experience the SP1 is not fully compatible with the various drivers.
    In case you looks that the audio driver does not work with SP1.

    Don t know what sound card you have (maybe Realtek?), but a sound card driver update would be desirable.
    If it doesn t help you will need to wait until it comes out an update of the audio driver

    I have a HP Pavilion dv6 1128tx laptop.  It has bluetooth built-in and used to connect to my phone without problem.  I recently upgraded to Vista SP2, and since then, bluetooth does not work.  In the control panel when I click on bluetooth devices it does not connect, and when I click on bluetooth, nothing happens.  I downloaded the latest drivers from HP, I installed it is said in the end the process there is no bluetooth device installed and the only option is to cancel the installation.  I've been on microsoft site http://support.microsoft.com/kb/960531/ where I used the option "fix it for me", which has removed the option of Control Panel devices and I don't know how to fix this!  I followed the instructions from HP on this page http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=au&product=3938840&docname=c00915262, but I don't see anything on bluetooth technology on the Device Manager page.

    Any thoughts? !  Ta!

    In Device Manager, there are all the devices with a yellow mark ! next to them? Is there an 'unknown' devices listed?

    You could try the system restore to restore the computer prior to the installation of SP2.

  • Computer will not activate after installing XP SP2 repair

    I see a lot of people have posted on this subject, and some have set.  I did a repair of an old computer installation.  At the start, it says I need to activate my copy of XP.  It just hangs.

    I can boot into safe mode (but not with networking).  I followed the 312295 article, which had me do the following

    1 regedit-localmachine-software... - winnt - winlogon - notify delete RESETS (there was none this entry, so I didn't do anything)

    2... regedit wpaevents OOBETimer 'Edit' (don't know what you mean about a hex file editing, so I just delete a line)

    3 renamed WPA.dbl

    4 extended wpa.db_ from wpa.dbl installation disc (ran OK)

    5 looking for any reset5.* or srvany.exe (no current)

    6 restart the computer.

    The same problem.   Still will not start.  Any other ideas?

    Some recommend to replace IE 8.  I'm certainly willing to do that - except my installation disc is a version of SP2.   So, how can I get a version of SP3 to install in safe mode?   (I download from another computer, but I don't know which version to get).

    Why I installed? There was no failure, but because after 8 years of use the computer was bogged down so he could barely work.

    But if this was justified is besides the point, because it is already done.

    I installed SP3.  I Redid the things listed above.

    I still get the message saying to activate windows and it crashes whenever I try.

    So I took the advice of others, installed IE8 in safe mode.  Upon restart, it worked!  (An arisen window asking me to activate, I said yes and it worked.

    This window looked like IE8 material - probably at the heart of the problem.

    Problem solved.
