• Browser crash, restart on its own, can not do the system restore. Help!

  OK, so I tried EVERYTHING I know how to do, and some things I did research.

  Whenever my computer restarts itself, I get an error message saying that there is a faulty driver.

  I checked my drivers with the audit tool, nothing.

  I uninstalled all unnecessary programs I could find (nothing critical, just programs like Glary Utilities, Acrobat, Flash etc..).

  Eventually I got to a point where everything I did was to get worse, and my computer told me that Windows did not start upward.  I rebooted in safe mode and tried to do a system restore.  Cannot restore point to restore I get an error indicating that the system restore was not successful.  I tried FOUR different restore points.

  I'm at my wits end!

  I don't have my Windows XP cd, or one of the disks with the computer came.  This used to be my computer at work, but let me keep as part of my departure, so all the disks are in the old company.

• Compaq nc6400 upgraded xp to win 7 can not get the fingerprint reader to work

  I have upgraded xp to win 7, as we will have to do, but can't get the fingerprint reader to work. It appears in the devices that there is one on the machine. I downloaded the drivers for Vista, but they got nowhere.  Read in many places as Vista drivers will work but I seem to need more than that. Any clue?  Thank you!!!

  Hello:

  Yes, for Vista fingerprint reader driver is the only one available, but you must install the software HP protect Manager security tools for Windows 7 from the model which succeeded the nc6400, who was the 6910p.

  You must also use the W7 driver quick launch buttons.

  If your computer laptop bluetooth, you need the W7 bluetooth software and driver...

  And you can use the version of W7 HP wireless assistant software.

  You can also read the manual tools security protect manager, so you can understand how to use the fingerprint reader.
