How to update the drivers NVIDIA for Pavilion dv6755el.
Hi, I know it please tell how to update the video card driver, in which rirectory GB installed, because I stood Blue Shield and microsoft has identified that the video card driver is not updated, I followed the procedure of upgrading HP but found no drivers. ? I downloaded directly from NVIDIA updated for my card, but I can't find where the original, but the installer says C:\Nvidia... Thank you
I don't think it's asking you where to install, it can ask for a place to decompress the files, so just say ok the location by default, he suggests. If the installation does not continue after developing files, switch to that folder where it expanded their and find the Setup, the exe file and run it.

Hello
You go to the site of the manufacturer of the system (motherboard for customized systems manufacturer), then the real device
manufacturer websites to download and install the drivers.How to upgrade drivers in Windows XP
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/HT/updatedriverxp.htmThis 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.htmlFor drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - graphics card - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on set to update driver
(this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This 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 system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), then the manufacturer of the device
site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 AS ADMIN - reset after each
installation.Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up.
This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so
install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and try again if 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.

I get messages that I need to update the drivers. Don't know if it's the Microsoft or someone else. How will I know if I need to update the drivers?
Thank you
MS victory do not harass allows you to install the drivers, any notification comes from a third-party utility.
Have you installed third-party type maintenance programs?
I would suggest to scan the PC for malware with this utility free http://www.malwarebytes.org/antimalware/
If you need to update all system drivers depends on if you encounter any problems, in general, if you're not, it is useless
Pilots are obtained from your PC manufacturers support site, if a brand PC

How to restore a bios? accidentally flashed my dm4-2070us by updating the drivers
How to restore a bios? accidentally flashed my dm4-2070us while update the drivers with insydeflash, ran the configuration automatically thing and my phone then froze... when I type with my keyboard keys don't work to register and there is an occasional clicking sound coming from the touchpad... I would return my dm4-2070us for a new? is it possible to restore my bios? is the damaged mobo etc should I change just for a new?
If you can exchange it for another, it would be the best thing to do. There are some things to try to save the BIOS, but most of the time, they do not work.
Do you have important files on the hard drive, there is a way to save those?

HOW CAN I UPDATE THE DRIVERS CORRECTLY
Hi, in another topic on fan-problem on the x 220, a person mentioned that the problem is stemming from a bad way to update the drivers. What I do most often: I shape the server at the same time in a single download updated drivers and install them both. Is is better after be adjusted for them to install them one by one and restart the unit after each installation? and is there a specific order to install?
I recomment to install the first chipset driver, then powermanger driver and driver HOTKEY (this is the pilot of the system interface). rest really doesn't matter

Satellite Pro L300 upgraded to Win8 but I would like to update the drivers
I have upgraded to Windows 8, but I found the Wifi adapter needs to be reset frequently (it seems to be without a cause) - Troubleshooting Windows 8 solves it by resetting the adapter, but I thought there will be a fix for this?
When I tried to update the drivers I found that the L300 is not (in the not extensible or expandable lists)-is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model? Or can you suggest how to update all the drivers of Toshiba for this model.
Thank you
Your Satellite Pro is the model of laptop old enough and not supported for Win8.
It is difficult to find drivers for the notebook not supported models and old.Problem is that if you make the decision to do so anyway you are on your own and can be all just lucky if everything works properly.
> is the L300 compatible in this respect by another model?
It is not easy to give you the right answer. What needs to be done is to compare each hardware component important as chipset, GPU, chip sound, LAN/WLAN with other models and see if some Win8 drivers are available. It is not so easy.For example: Toshiba Satellite pro L300 offers 4 different hardware platforms. One you have? What is the model number of your machine?

Gateway DX4300 - how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old.
Hi, I just reformatted my PC. lost all my drivers and ask you how to restore the drivers to the folder window.old. My PC is a gateway dx4300 built in maps Ethernet and video. Unfortunately the gateway doesn't have these drivers.__Thanks.
Oh, how it would help if truly comprehensive published Gateway of material form for a machine... :(
I only am not surprised you found the driver for the modem didn't work - the only one I found was a Vista driver in proportion; Server 2 k 8 x 64 probably don't like that too much. ;)
But, a little research on Google (and, looking at the list of Vista drivers for this machine) does not give something useful: your card network (the thing you need more) seems to be a Marvell Yukon 88E8075 (possibly 88E8071) Gigabit NIC. These drivers are available directly from Marvell: http://www.marvell.com/support.html
Just select "88E8075" in the menu dropdown part number, then take the package Windows Server 2008 SP2 (x 64). Install it, get the machine online, run Windows Update. I am betting that WU will be able, at a minimum, give you work pilots 'real' (rather than the generic or non-existent drivers you have) so that you can sort.
Honestly, I'm surprised that there is no drivers for this NETWORK adapter - it's a fairly common piece.HTH,

How do all the drivers at the same time?
Can we install all the drivers who need a laptop?
all software drivers (like Driver Genius, solution of Driver...) will just update the drivers lacking drivers how to install them. ??
Go to the website of the hardware manufacturer to obtain the appropriate driver. It is the only way that pilots must be never updated or added.

Cannot update the drivers on the XPS 8700
I just bought a Dell XPS 8700 from Best Buy last Wednesday, and now I have implemented and I tried to update the drivers from the product running. After the execution of system analysis it says that I need two drivers updated so I accepted and installed but when I restarted my computer and rerun the analysis system he says that the same two drivers are still needed. I installed these two drivers, four times and they are not yet installed.
Can someone tell me what is happening and how to fix this. These are the two drivers.

update the drivers of yoga are very old?
I have laptop 2 13 Yoga...
I have downloaded/installed new driver for my laptop from lenovo.com
Once installed (driver genius proffesional)... When the scanner for the new driver gives me 9 new update for the driver
then installed (drivermax) to verify that this driver are in need of an update and it also gives me 9 update to the same drivers...
Yet once I open my computer cell phone supprt page and copmare drivers version with versions of drivermax me game...
I found this version of drivermax drivers are more recent than the laptop support page
Why the lenovo is too slow for the update to the new version?
First of all, get rid of drivermax. I have tried in the past and it is not all it is cracked up to to be.
Drivers Lenovo provides are tested to work with combinations of material not only a single chip.
For example, the video chip may have a dozen drivers on its own. But you add to it a certain processor and the number drops to 3, add a certain audio chip and drops numbers 1. You may be able to get other drivers to work, but they can cause a problem with other hardware on your computer. It is not that Lenovo is slow to update the drivers, is that after a period of time that certain combinations of materials are no longer used because they got too old. This can happen after a very short period of time.
