  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.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• How to get ethernet workstation in the working group with wireless workstations

  All the g ' Day. I just purchased and installed a WAG120n annex a modem router with an Ethernet to port 1 and two wireless network cards. The problem is that I don't see the workgroup on the NETWORK ethernet card, and the two wireless network cards can not see the ethernet NIC however, I can find each NETWORK card using search. One of the network cards wireless can connect and connect to the ethernet NETWORK card, but when even it will appear in the working group - I have not yet tried with the other NIC wireless. How can I configure my router to allow all machines are? If this is of any help, is NETWORK card ethernet Intel Pro 100 V, wireless is Intel 2200 gb and the other NETWORK card wireless is a D-Link DWA 510. Gordon.

  Hi - I'm going to mark it as resolved: I realized that I was looking for something I didn't need. While I have 3 machines with capacities of networking of industrial quality, all I need is a P2P system. I had already activated beside the TCP/IP NetBEUI, simply because it worked wonderfully on my D-Link G604T GenII and NetBEUI is what you really need on a P2P. TCP/IP must remain, then we can access the internet and the router. We can easily map network drives - which has never been a problem - and I was systematically put out of service on each computer network browser Service to eliminate the 8003 errors that continue to occur. You don't need the network browser in a P2P... In any case, the new (financial) year approaches, have a happy! Gordon. Why doesn't the RichText? I activated in my settings!

• How to remove a computer from my working group under XP and Windows 7?

  We have recently implemented a network composed of our three computers (2 XP) Home Office and 1 Windows 7 to share files and printers.

  However, we found its malfunction and could not share what we expect.  One of the reasons, we can see it, could be one of the computers have been infected.

  So, we try to remove this computer from the working group.

  However, no matter how hard I searched on Internet, there is no way to remove the infected computer's existing working group.

  There that experts can help us?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  You cannot remove a computer from a working group, but you can change the name of the working group.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/295017

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/51711-workgroup-name-view-change.html

  But that will not necessarily mean that they are not accessible by other computers on the network, or it will necessarily make the other less likely to be infected through this PC computers.

  The only way to "withdrawal" of a computer on a network is to unplug the network cable or remove the name of the wireless network.

  If you are concerned about a possible infection, you must get the malware to day and scan for malware protection.

  However, I suspect it's more likley your problems are caused by the lack of knowledge in the topic network different Windows operating system. This can help...

• How to share a folder in a working group for some PC

  Hello
  I have a working group with the name of workgroup1.
  There are about 10 PCs in this working group with the names of PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4...
  I have a folder in PC1 with folder1 name and I want to share it in the Working Group
  I want that only users of PC2 and PC3 to see this folder
  Please me tips

  For starters, Windows file sharing does not care and cannot distinguish any particular computer access.  Windows protects access to files by user name and password.  Therefore, on PC1, you must create a username and password for everyone you want to access the files on this computer.  Then, they authenticate from any computer with this user name and password.

  Secondly: For Windows to distinguish a user to another user, "Simple file sharing" must be disabled.  Active Simple file sharing, all users that connect to the service computer will always authenticate as user 'Guest' and, therefore, you can control access to any file or folder it by individuals.  Simple file sharing cannot be disabled on XP Home, to support this feature, your PC1 must be XP Pro edition.

  Assuming that you did this now, everything you need to know to disable Simple file sharing and establishing user access to files is in this article:

• How can I get Windows 7 to search for locations that are not indexed when I have no indexed locations?

  I recently discovered what may be a bug or a serious error in the Windows 7 search engine, I'm not really sure of that.  Heck, it could be just that the options are formulated in a misleading way, and I don't realize.  Anyway slice you it, I have no sites indexed on my PC, or what I want, and I get no search results either.

  My settings are, AFAIK, set up so that Windows Search will search by file names and content regardless of whether the location of the research is indexed but except if it is indexed it returns no result.  As a concrete example, I have a folder with 701 files it contains.  Of these 700 more than 400 files contain the letter 'C' in the name of the file.  When the folder is indexed, they appear in a search.  When the folder is not indexed appear not at all.

  So, how to get Windows 7's search in unindexed locations?  I rarely use the search engine, in particular because it feels and is that it now seems to be, a massive downgrade on XP, but I still need it from time to time and I prefer not to index my PC just because Windows 7 will not search non indexed sections of my drives as it's a waste of given how little system resources I need to use it.

  HM, this is regrettable.  Something to try...

  Open the Indexing Options Control Panel, choose Advanced Options and click [Rebuild], which is supposed to remove and rebuild the indexes.  With the indexing service off, I could imagine that it would remove whatever remains of an index, you can have but not rebuild.  Which perhaps honest to the operation 'search the doomed drive already' goodness.

  I go through this process when I disabled indexing, and done, I can search and find things.  Keep hope; It can work.

  Well, I just got Windows 7 for my laptop, but it's not a hard drive. How do I get there for free?

  Hello

  · What is the number and the model of the computer?

  · Has the operating system installed on the computer it pre-installed?

  If the operating system came pre-installed on the computer then you can contact the computer manufacturer if they provide for the free upgrade to Windows 7.

  "Normally I would go into the bios, change boot cd and do an upgrade inplace - right

  Found a box that prevents the bios to booting from anything other than the hard drive in the BIOS, under Security.  Stupid because it still allows you to change the order of boot without any error message.

  Once I changed I could boot from the cd and fix corrupted files.

• The search in Windows Explorer has stopped working properly - it does not find the files which are there, but will find other files that match the search criteria

  Window 7

  Was working before, but have only allowed a number of updates to Windows that had been blocked for a while.

  For example. Type 'safe' in the search box. It finds files and directories with 'security' in the title, but not the files and directories that I can see are there with 'safe' in the title.

  When I search using the "safe * ' it seems to do exactly the same thing as"safe ".  It does not show only files beginning with 'safe'

  My suggestion was not ' safe * ' but ' name of the file: ~ safe * "(without the quotes).

  Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

I don't know how windows take to put inside of the frequent. With waiting for that appears automatically, is there a way we can pin an item that does not appear in the jump list frequent list?

  The answer depends on what type of element you want to pin.  The only type of element you mentioned being a folder, you can easily do what you're wondering now and does not need to wait for a later version.

  In the 8 Windows desktop, when you drag an executable file (or shortcut) on the taskbar, a message appears that says "PIN to the taskbar.

  If you drag a document file (or a shortcut), the message will say "pine [associated application]"-in other words, "[name of the default browser] pine" for a html, "Pin to Notepad" file to a txt file, etc..

  For a folder, File Explorer is the associated application.  Therefore, if you open a file Explorer window, look for the desired folder and drag it to the taskbar, the message that appears is "PIN to the file Explorer."  Just click on it, and it will appear in the jumplist FE, above the frequent places, in a separate section called "Pinned".  You can drag things and down from there to order at your leisure.

  (The Control Panel, even if it is displayed in FE as 'File system', only let you pin on the desktop, for not not FE jumplist.)  There may be other special cases like this; I don't know, but it works usually as I've described, including for other system folders.)

  Just to be clear, I am a new user of Windows 8, far from being an expert.  I only know how it works because I heard today by trial and error.  So there may be more to what I can't help with.
