How do I know what hardware I have in my dv4t?

I have a Pavilion dv4t-4100 and the hard drive crashed. I installed a new hard drive and the OS, but I don't know what drivers I need to download for my network adapter, and other hardware components where there are several choices of drivers and components on download drivers support page.

I hope that there is a way to determine what material I disassemble my laptop.

Or maybe I could just download all the drivers and Windows will choose the good ones for the various hardware components?

Thanks for any help!

We would need your specific model number to provide you with information about your hardware, unless you can give us a little more information. Do you have what version of Windows installed? 64 or 32-bit? You can try Windows Update and it will usually provide achievable drivers for the majority of the components or you can simply open the Device Manager and find all devices with errors (unmanned) and view the ID of the hardware for each and we will connect you to the drivers. It shows how to find the hardware ID in Windows 7 Device Manager:

Post back with the device ID and we'll find you drivers.

    There is no such thing as serial number based on the motherboard.  Serial numbers are unique.

    The NDP or DELL of the Board part NUMBER is on THE Board of DIRECTORS and is not connected either to the

    Is it possible to change sequence settings after you start a project? Also, how can I know what sequence of parameters are best for clips that I have?
    The clips I have are HD and .mp3. MTS files.

    In the latest version of Premiere Pro, it is possible to change the settings for the sequence.

    You know what settings are best knowing what you are doing.  (Personally I'm fan of formal education for this.)  I know that sounds sarcastic, but, there is no right answer to the question whose parameters are the best.  There are many variables here, then... you really need to know what you're doing.

    Hello

    This is not an indication of malware. Could be those are placed on the
    computer by the manufacturer of the system and that was the date that firstly, they prepared their
    for massive installation, or if they did not set a date and be used arbitrarily.

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

    If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
    scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
    resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
    cause.

    No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
    to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
    its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
    extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

    It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run

  • need help on history, recycle bin and cookies: how will I know what someone has done on my laptop?

    I would like to learn more about history on my computer vista laptop microsoft and more on maybe the trash and or cookies. For example, someone else used my laptop last night and delete everything that he was looking at or for then how can I know what it was?

    Assuming that it has not been removed, you can view the history of visited web sites by clicking on the Favorites button, click the history tab.

    The only things in the trash are files or folders that have been removed from the system (no evidence they have been read or something like that).

    Cookies will not tell you anything either because they are terms in the code and you can not tell what web site they belong - no good for tracking not web history (and they apply only to the history of the web).

    You can view the Start / recent items to display some of the files which were recently seen (assuming that the list has not been removed).  That may help some.  You can also go to C:\Users\\Recent for a longer list of recently accessed files (as long as you know the user name).

    There is actually very little that you can do with hindsight to see what anyone seen or done on your computer.

    If you want to implement such a procedure, use the Parental http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls control and activity reports control Parentalhttp://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-up-Parental-Controls-activity-reports.  Do this for each account you want to track.  Then you can check what you wish now that you could check.
