Honest opinion on download or update drivers HP

Hello

I just want to post my opinion on how disappointed I am with HP services to download drivers, and I really hope that it will go to the right ear.

1.) manually from the Web site:

-We ask you for your product AND serial keys, and yet you are offered drivers for the entire series, so you have to guess what wifi card you have, what GPU etc. Manuals also containing all possible combinations, so even once, guess or use certain Tools of information 3rd party hardware.

Update of 2.) Windows:

-half of them and/or he is happy with a default won't find Windows drivers

3.), HP Support Assistant:

-This utility looks like the first option you would use, yet she never yells at you that you have active guest account and simply identifies your CURRENT installed drivers, HP or Windows by default. By clicking on the button "Update" takes time and then it gives you more alerts, tips and research only half of the drivers.

4.) HP Softpaq Download Manager and HP System Software Manager:

-Basically, you have to guess what they find at random, because the HPSA is linked everywhere. Then, SDM/SSM actually concludes your product as close as possible but still not exact (HP 630/631 in my case), then it can find all the necessary drivers, but some are obsolete compared to the manual download Web site.

In short--Hewlett-Packard, what gives?

This is a quality post and great comments.  Just to let you know, he comes here by HP experts and will be shared with appropriate people.

Is there a specific driver, you need to find?

  • BlackBerry software I need help to recover after link uninstalled during the attempt to download the updated drivers

    I bought a new unlocked classic.  I planned to spend my Q10 classic using the option of switch device in link.  I think I got the link c. 1.2.3.56 (or perhaps 58?) installed on my PC Pro Windows 8.1.

    Using the link I saved my Q10 and then connected the classic with the USB cable.  The classic said she needed new drivers.  Soon, I had the opportunity to download BB Blend, link, and drivers.  I chose the option install the mixture and update link and drivers.  Installation/update failed.  I remember exactly the message error, but according to me, says he will have to try again.

    I was stunned to see that the shortcut on the liaison office had disappeared!  The list of programs in the control panel Windows only shows BlackBerry Device Software updater installed.  Only \BlackBerry Link\en\help_files in the folder of the RIM on the hard drive.  I can't find an executable anywhere.

    I downloaded the link and tried to install it, but after that I got the message that a newer version is already installed on my PC, I cancelled it.

    How can I recover?  I would get the back link, the new software of mix and current Windows drivers required for the classic.  Fortunately, my last backup of the Q10 is there in the \users\username\documents\BlackBerry\backup folder.

    Finally, I considered using the app of the switch of the device on both devices, but I could not download it.  On both devices, I got the error message: "year error has occurred and BlackBerry World will be closed."  Try to wait a few minutes and reopening BlackBerry World. "That was hours ago.  I'll search the forum hardware for more information about BB world.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • It is important to install or download new updates to windows?

    It is important to install or download new updates to windows?

    In my opinion, Yes to download and install Windows updates. Most are security to stop means hackers and other updates fix issues with various parts of the operating system and other Microsoft products, that you have on your PC. Take the time to display updates from time to time like things like the service packs and new web browsers may require you to check the box to get them, service pack must be installed by themselves. When it comes to optional updates for the drivers, it may be better to get them from the manufacturer of the device, or if you have a brand PC from their website name.

    You will hear tales that updates have crashed a system and I don't know there was some that were far from perfect, but usually it's because of problems on the PC in question, or some third-party software, I put some updates for automatic on my clients machines installation and it brings me no work - think Maybe I should stop this.

  • Satellite A205-S4617 - where can I download the XP drivers?

    Hi all.

    I have a 2 years Satellite a205-S4617 I want to install XP on. Before wiping Vista if I'm trying to locate and download all the drivers, I need because I got caught out due to lack of drivers for laptop before.

    Problem is that Toshiba seems to have forgotten that they have never done the A205 model. He has not mentioned anywhere on the site or listed in the drop-down lists for current laptops or abandoned.

    Anyone know why this is and where I can find the exact drivers I need? I tried a few software solutions, and Yes, they see my drivers and tell me that some could do with updating but then request payment before you tell me where to get them.
    It's weird the way Toshiba does not even recognize my serial number is.

    Hi skeeta,.

    Everything for your laptop can be downloaded here:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com > download

    I checked the page and there's not all the XP drivers, it seems that you have to collect the rest of them on Web sites external

    An alternative, you can try some European Satellite A200 XP drivers. As far as I know, these models are similar:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Good luck! :)

  • New satellite does not download Vista update - error Code 80070002

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop Equium PC World of and when passed as is the norm, the operating system (Vista) try to download updates from Microsoft.
    However, I'm struggling with what he stuck after a number of successful downloads.

    Now when I go to "Windows Update", I get the error found error Code 80070002.
    Can anyone help with this?

    Why knows what the problem is here.
    Try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool and try again. To be honest, you must disable automatic updates and prior to the update, you should check the list of available updates and install the correct updates that can be useful. That means installation Important or recommended updates. All the optional updates as some driver updates, you must disable.

    And if I switch to Windows 8.1 W8 drivers will work?

    I can't say yes or no for some because there is no Windows drivers 8.1 available in the download section of the portal support for your laptop.

    It would be to identify all devices currently present in the device under Windows 8 Manager and save images or write to them. Otherwise, it would take time to find all or most of the pilots. The most difficult to find is likely to be the switchable graphics driver, if your laptop has this feature. If this is the case, remember and identify the graphics device in Device Manager.

    The following illustration shows the most of the elements of important identification before considering the upgrade to Windows 8.1.
