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 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.

If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
manually if you wish.

  • Unable to Scan to the computer after downloading macOS Sierra. Is this a software problem?

    How can I scan from HP Envy 4500 to computer after downloading macOS Sierra?

    Hello wdemetris,

    Thanks for asking for scanning helps here in the Apple Support communities. I understand how it is important to have access to your scanner and am happy to offer help for this.

    As a precaution, we always recommend that you have backups to make sure that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup using Time Machine and an external hard drive. Use this article to help make a backup of your Mac: use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac.

    Then, in accordance with article help: printer and scanner for Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, and the Mavericks macOS software, the HP Envy 4500 e-all-in-one is supported for printing and scanning. The drivers must be installed, but if not, if it please go to the App Store and check the updates tab to see if there are updates for HP. If there is, please install.

    If you have only general questions about how to get your updated scanner in place or how to scan pictures, please check out these two articles: macOS Sierra: implement a scanner & macOS Sierra: scan images or documents. If everything is configured correctly and you still have problems scanning, please visit this help article: macOS Sierra: scanning troubleshooting.

    Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • I clicked on a link on my computer.

    I clicked on a link on my computer. I've got Yosemite 10.10.5. I now get location of verification questions to an address that according to me is the one I opened upwards. Does that mean I have a virus and what should I do?

    It is probably just to ask your location and is not a virus. Try going to System Preferences/security & privacy / confidentiality, unlock the lock and see if there is a box you can uncheck which stops applications. Safari is probably the logical choice.

  • Deleting emails, mail approx. records even Clears Yahoo on computer?

    Given that the content of Mail takes a lot of space, I want to delete a large number of emails and files (the same that exists on Yahoo mail). I just want to be sure that their deletion on the mail app won't also erase them from Yahoo on my computer.

    Hey CloudsRestWalk,

    Thank you for being a part of the communities of Apple Support.

    I see that you're wondering about the impact of the removal of the mail files on your e-mail account.  Everything depends on whether or not the mail files are saved on your Mac, or if they are part of Yahoo.  In the Mail sidebar, you should see the label above the folder list.  If she says "on my Mac" then the emails in that folder are stored on your Mac, and delete the folder should not affect what you see on the webmail of Yahoo.  On the other hand, if the label says "Yahoo" then the folders are on the mail server itself, and remove them will remove them from Yahoo email servers.

    For assistance with freeing up storage space, then take a look at the information in this link:

    Mail for Mac: free up the storage space for an e-mail account

    Take care.

  • How to transfer a project from one computer to another file

    Hello

    In order to burning a DVD on my laptop that is older, I'm trying to transfer a working from a library folder and insert it into another on the old computer. I used a USB key. All the data has been transferred, but how do i:

    1) enter a library on the old computer? I DID this, but it will not appear in the Final Cut. I "Showed the content" and it allowed me to put the file in THIS library, but it will not appear in the column "libraries."

    (2) create its OWN library on the old computer?

    Thank you.

    Mike Scully

    Stay out of the whole library. This is a complex database. If the components have moved the database becomes useless. Pretty much all you need to do inside the library can be done from the inside of the PCF.

    If you cannot move the entire library from one machine to another on an external drive, you can move a project of a new library. That will copy only the clips used in the project. You can take it on the other machine. You can also export a master file and consider on the other machine to make the DVD. It is perhaps the simplest.

  • Trying to connect a computer to the lan port Aiport Express "auto assigned IP address"

    I am trying to connect a computer to the lan on my Airport Express port. In preferences, it says "status: connected, Ethernet has an assigned IP address and won't be able to connect to the internet." Any suggestions?

    An "auto assigned" IP address indicates that your computer could not find or negotiate with a DHCP server to obtain an IP address appropriate for network access.

    It should be more on your network to provide assistance if you need it. For example, is the terminal of AirPort Express the only router in the current configuration of your network? What exact model do? What is the brand and model of your modem Internet?

    Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

    The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

    Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

    You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

    By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

    Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

  • Airplay iMac switches back on computer after you select the apple tv. Why?

    From Imac display by selecting Appletv heard music lasts for a few minutes then switches to my computer. Why?

    Hello brianfromsooke,

    If you try to use your iMac, Apple TV AirPlay, but the audio output automatically switches to your iMac, it may not be the flow enough on your Wi - Fi network.

    If AirPlay disconnects itself, your wireless network can be too busy or have too many wireless interference to maintain the connection of the antenna. Learn how to solve the problems of Wi-Fi connectivity. The manual of your router network may have additional suggestions for maintaining a strong and fast connection with your devices.

    Use AirPlay to view a video of your Mac on a HDTV

  • Protecting the Keyring on a work computer

    Hi, I could not find an answer to this, so I'll ask: I have my personal Keychain connected on my work computer. The problem is that you can access my personal keychain using the password on my laptop, as opposed to my password real iCloud. This means that our it guy could possibly access highly sensitive passwords such as banking & such accounts. I want to make my iCloud Keychain is accessible only by using this password, not a laptop system password. Any suggestions? Thank you!

    This isn't exactly an answer to your question but it's the best advice I have in the circumstances. Never, ever keep anything on a unit of the company that you do not want your company to have access to. In most cases, they have a legal right to everything on the device. You have generally no expectation of privacy on a computer company. My company has fired people for data that they considered inappropriate on company owned phones. Delete your keychain from the computer of the company data, if you want to keep behind closed doors.
