  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.

• Help get rid of the changes and unwanted software.

  Recently, someone in my house accessible a website called clipconverter.cc and recorded a few videos on our computer. I logged today to find a number of CRAZY to say "INSTALL ME" all over my desk, my changed Redirect 'Safe Finder' safari and 3 or 4 new applications which I didn't flash files.

Remove the extension from the internet, erased settings and history and my connection activities value only those I knew, and I wanted to. I could use some help understanding, if there is everything I need to look at and to get rid of. any help would be appreciated.

  I have a report of EtreCheck, I'll have a bit of trouble understanding... in particular the sections "failures" or "not responsible"... my suspicion is it's the bits of third still floating out there.

• How can I get rid of game Center and the gargowitsch process?

  My Mac are dedicated to work. I games have never played on them and never will. Everything about that I want to go. There is this annoying bit of software called "garguillo" who insists on talking to the outside world and I need to find a solution for this. Solutions who apparently worked in Mavericks or Yosemite, etc., no longer works on El Capitan, at least not for me. I could ask the very obvious question 'Hey Apple, why can't disable parts of the OS that are useless to me?' but I'd be happy just to get rid of these. Can anyone help?

  In/System/Library/LaunchAgents/is a file named com.apple.gamed.plist. If you CTRL - or RIGHT click and select move to trash, and then restart the computer, the daemon will not start. Problem solved. I suggest that you not empty the trash, but store the element somewhere. If you can't be bothered with restart then open the activity monitor, find the process in the list, select it, click the Kill in the toolbar, then click the force quit button.

  Hello

  Follow these steps and check if that helps.

  Step 1:

  I suggest you to reset the updated Windows components and check if that helps.

  Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.

• How can I get rid of Windows 7 and go back to XP - win7 is undesirable software incompetent

  I've been using win7 for several months. This software is absolutely hostile user. It was a lousey experience. On the first day, the transfer of file file system messed up all my file from my old machine systems. I can't find things on the control panel - device driver - search functions file - everything which is rather well established since win 3.1 looks now like a block of lead tied to my ankles. Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only, and not the average user of semiskilled... I don't have the patience for this nonsense.

  "Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only and not the average user semi-skilled."

  It's funny you should say that. Monopoly$ often tried in fact their toughest excessive Windows
  for the 'average' user, but somehow they have actually managed to make it more complicated.
  There is always and will always be a couple of things that I hate about Win7, my pet hate is not
  able to turn off the reorganization in the records. Although there is a solution for this, it can be a little awkward
  to use as you can hide folders/files if you accidentally drop it another folder/file on top of it.

  In addition to the suggestions of Cameron - for that old time feeling you can also use
  Windows Classic view (simple R/click on the desktop and select "Personalize" from the context menu).
  Still, I prefer this and do not use the libraries either.

  A good feature is that you can "pin" folders to the icon in Windows Explorer in the taskbar,
  so I pinned my account username as well as my other most often used records here.
  To do this, you just use the option ' send to ' and send a shortcut to the records in question to
  the desktop computer. Then, just drag and drop this icon WE shortcut.
  Right-click for a list. You can make only a limited number of shortcuts here though.
  -For .exe shortcuts, you must use the toolbar of office available on the right end of the taskbar.

  As with XP there are loads of tips and third-party applications settings to best Win7
  to your personal taste. Here are a few links to get you started-
  Windows 7 Articles, tips and Guides: how-to Geek
  Win7 ABC - great list of tutorials Windows 7 by MVP Shawn Brink! (in alphabetical order)

  BTW - Win7 is an OS better than XP. Better management of memory, more stable, and if well managed facility will work for years. My Win7 is three years old and was even "imaged" from another machine with a completely different hardware. Try that on XP.
  -8 Win is supposed to be a very good OS.
  While Win8 also attracts a lot of hate from PC users due to its user interface. MS apparently decided that if Win8 will not be the new Dodo Vista they will have to bend to the pressure of the user and release a new version - 8.1 with a friendly user interface more PC.  Intel has even designed their new processor around 8.1 to win.
