how important are the updates?

Are supported system i.e. new driver updates and update of the bios system really important if my laptop works well? im a little uncomfortable about installing / updating them, a little scared, that they could lead to irregularities that I don't feel right now.

any suggestions guys?  Thanks in advance?

Hello

General updated drivers and software, I agree with your approach - if everythings work well, why bother to update.  The only exception to this rule would be if the update corrects a security vulnerability.

Updates to the bios, I never apply one of them if the update corrects a mistake I knew or added functionality that I needed.  This type of update has the potential of "bricks" of your PC, if it is wrong and contrary to a corrupt system, you can not recharge just it - you won't get to search forum long messages on computers that have been turned into expensive paper weights as the result of a bios flash goes bad.

Kind regards

  • How to get the updated values of the loops while they are running

    Hello

    I am trouble with a very basic problem, how to access the updated values of the "loop FOR" during operation?  Basically, the VI I is currently working on two sub vis calls each sub VI has a loop for, and the two screws may or may not work for the same number of iterations. My goal is to read the values in each terminal within the loop of two sub VIs, in primary VI. I tried to do this using Global Variables, but in main VI it will display only the last iteration of the two value sub live. Could someone please tell me whrere I go wrong? Is there any other/better way to do this.

    I appreciate any input on this issue.  

    Pass a reference of the main VI control to the Sub screws.  See attached example.

  • How to get the update?

    Please tell me HOW TO GET THE UPDATE! I'm pulling out my hair on the Adobe website doing what you can't do. (Sorry I can't help with that.) I have CS5 on Mac OS X and have received a document clearly created in CS5.5. But I can't find the update/update/download on the Adobe site. Thanks for any help.

    If you do not have the upgrade (updates are different and cost nothing... upgrades, you buy, but Adobe does not sell older versions) you may not use, if you could install the trial version which is good for 30 days.

    If you have the upgrade, you can download through one of the following links.  If you want the trial then use the other.

    CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html

    You can download the demo version of the software through the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.

    When you click on a tab open, how to do the update automatically in the body of the page?

    Right clicking on a tab open and using the arrow keys now now moves through open tabs. I liked the old versions where just after having clicked on a tab you can directly go to the page with the arrow keys to navigate.

    Firefox has yet to set the focus in the area of browser if you click on a tab.

    Only with very old browser versions you could set the focus to a tab by clicking a tab.

    This problem is probably caused by an extension.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

  • How do I know what "what's new", if any, are the updates incremental CC version?

    In ancient times, Adobe will tell you what has been resolved and what has been added to the new micro-versions of a product. I noticed now that when I get an update of Photoshop or bridge, she may be greater than 100 MB, but it say anywhere regarding the update as new features, bug fixes, etc.. Does anyone know if there is a changelog of version or something similar which explains what each new incremental update or fixed? Given that we are now paying for our Photoshop and new implementations are expected to be included (so no more major new versions), I would like to know what these new incremental updates and what new and wonderous things Adobe came with. Anyone know?

    Hi Mary,

    I suggest you to check the number of KB updates to isolate the problem.

    To see the updates are installed on the computer, follow these steps:

    a. click Start, click all programsand then click Windows Update or Microsoft Update.

    b. click view update history. A window opens that displays all the updates that are installed and those who have not installed properly on the computer.

    You can perform the System Restore before you install the Windows updates and check.

    Important: System Restore will return all your files non-system as documents, email, music, etc., to a previous state. These files of types are completely affected by the restoration of the system. If it was your intention with this tool to recover a deleted file to non-system, try using a file instead of system restore recovery program.

    You can Configure Windows to install only specific updates.  Check out the link for more information.

  • How important is the KB2724197, could not be installed due to the error

    I have a seller who provides us with a program for bookings back, yes BACK I know not.

    But today we received an error of a memory problem in BACK program and the seller said to uninstall the update of KB2724197 of all machines.

    But from what I read, it's a very important update to stop a vulnerability?

    How can I explain this to my boss if the seller can't come back and say that it must be removed and uninstalled and never installed on any machine again?

    The seller is not a very nice person and I'm afraid my boss thinks he knows best, they are friends, so I need ammunition to be able to install it because the seller is unwilling to settle his old junk BACK program which is only 16 bit

    or can I skip this KB and continue?

    Hi there @ESAGLAM

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you don't want to install an Android update and want to disable the notification. I'm happy to help you with this.

    First of all, you are not obliged to carry out an update of the system. It's up to you to install an update or not.

    One suggestion that has been put forward is to maintain the Notification in your notification window. Then select App Info. From there, you can disable the application. It is often only a temporary solution, because it is a core service of Google app can reactivate itself.

    Google did not include the option to disable the notifications of system update. Often, the only way to do so is by rooting the device or third-party apps. It's something that I can't recommend for several reasons. I refer you to this post in the forum by @SiobhanF with a very useful contribution by @WyreNut rooting.

    Other useful pages, I found related to notifications and automatic updates:

  • How to install the updates failed?

    Hello!

    I have recently upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. I had a few problems that caused a few important and recommended updates to fail. Now that I have problems, I would like to go back and try to update those who failed. How can I do this?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I want to thank you all for your help. I just noticed that Windows has automatically made another attempt to install updates, and it succeeded. There are a few others that must be repeated, so I hope he does it on his own again. Once again thank you for your advice and your expertise.

  • Error installing junk mail filter KB972691 - how to disable the update?

    Updated to filter out junk e-mail in Outlook 2007 (KB972691) there are a few days that a major update will not install on m ycomputer. No message other than an unknown error code 80070641 and one remains that I still have a significant update to install. Not a major concern if it wasn't for the fact that he's trying to install the update every time I shut down Windows and continues to see messages that I have an important update I should install.

    The junk e-mail filter is not critical for me, so is it possible to disable this update? Since it is a non optional update, I can't hide it by right-clicking the update in the Windows Update window. I tried to download and install the update manually with the same result.

    I am running Vista business and Office 2007 Standard. I've never had problems with the previous updates.

    Any advice would be apreciated
