    So, I tried to uninstall in Control Panel of. It seems to start to uninstall, but then I get an error message. "Error 1316 a network error occurred trying to read the file C:\windows\Installer\HP support Assistant.msi" when I click "OK" it cancels. This is also reproducible.

    I tried to download the software again from HP: sp64126.exe I accept the license agreement and moving forward. I get a message that files already exist and I want to overwrite all or not. Matter of INo I choose, nothing happens. The installation window simply disappears and I'm at square one.

    I have redownloaded Assistant HP several times since the installation of windows 10; It works twice, maybe, then he said: stopped working-new HP and nouveau1 assistant what is the problem with that?

    Please advise!

    The first thing you need to do is to completely uninstall HPSA.  Then, use the version appropriate for your computer listed here.

    I suggest to use Revo Uninstaller to remove HPSA.  It will remove the HARD disk as well as all the remains of the BIOS.  I use the FREE version.  The advanced option is best to remove the entire application.

    While I was away from my computer this morning installed HP HP network check Helper. When I got home there was a message that I needed to restart the computer. After reboot, I got the same message. After trying several times, I have disabled assistance program using Add-on management, but the message from computer restart guard appearing. When I tried to open HP Support Assistant it opens, but instead, the restart popped up message.

    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.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    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.

  • Continuous error message: Dell Support Center has stopped working

    I have Windows V8ista on an Inspiron530s. With any surgery, I keep getting the following massage:

    "Dell Support Center Has Stopped Working                                                                                                                                                  Caused A problem blocking the program works correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. " For several weeks, I tried to find out the reason for the error message. It will appear in a small box several times per hour during any operation. (internet or a document) I find no answers in any forum. I have a printer All in one HP that I uninstalled & reinstalled the software, for, at the suggestion of another, but that has not solved the problem.

    AT the SAME TIME: I have Trend Micro Internet Security, (aka PC-Cillion) and although the firewall & defenses are up, I can't scan the computer for viruses. I spoke with trend micro Tech Support 4 times on the phone and various changes have been made, but not thhas solution. They seem to think that the problem is related to this error message.  I'm really tired. Can anyone help?  :?/

    Best advice would be to uninstall the DSS. As you find that it causes more problems then it helps.  Go to the Control Panel programs and features and are looking for Dell support Center and uninstall it.
