I have to manually reinstall each driver?

I received the error code "Smart short test failed" when you do the maintenance of the system and a solution here says to make sure that all drivers have been updated.

I need to manually download each of them?

http://gyazo.com/1e5f75ce3b4571b804c8cd166303fc7e

I tried to use the obsolete drivers detect option, but the site says that it couldn't recognize my machine.

Thank you.

Mandchez, welcome to the forum.

The SMART test said you that the hard drive has failed.  If the computer still starts you should backup your personal data.  Once you replace the hard drive, you can use the recovery media to reinstall all software.

    I have to manually install the driver for Aspire ZC-102, updates when I move Windows 8 to 10?

    I was struggling with this ACER for more than a year. I have do it I have back when it was still under warranty, 14 months ago. Now I've updated free online through Microsoft for Windows 10 back in early August. I had hoped that my mess was a stack of the operating system, but unfortunately, it's still a piece. However, there is no virus. I run Malwarebytes Pro full time with it has quarantined of PUPPIES as well as McAfee Anti Virus full time. I use cCleaner to keep cut up. I NEVER garguillo or browsed porn.
    I've got max 16 GB of RAM. I have very few applications other than Office 2013.

    Even if this thing was a room at the time where it was running Windows 8 and 8.1, so I want to try to make it work on Windows 10 without having to start over with a clean install. That's why I asked about the drivers.

    your ZC-102 will not have a direct drivers updated from Acer support, which means you have to rely on Windows Update by itself the drivers or get them by yourself.

    Let me give you 3 Tips:

    1) never use Registry cleaners Windows 8.x and above all, they are no longer needed

    (2) uninstall McAfee, he kills the performance of your machine, use the antivirus windows integrated, it is good and very light

    (3) If you require loading time fast on programs, think about an SSD upgrade

    I need to format the hard drive but don't have the windows vista disc to reinstall, but have had the key code that vista was preinstalled do I have to buy a new drive for vista

    Hello

    How to reinstall Vista

    Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

    they do it for a nominal cost of $

    also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

    you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

    Ask them of the exact key sequence

    or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

    Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

    they contain all versions of vista

    This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

  • I have Windows 7 reinstalled on my machine. Now when it boots up, it hangs on drive A, two minutes or more.

    I have Windows 7 reinstalled on my machine.  Now when it boots up, it hangs on drive A, two minutes or more.  The light A drive turns on but the screen is completely blank - nothing.  The machine will start subsequently, but it takes forever.  Is there a way to fix this?

    A: drive is almost always a floppy drive, you have a floppy drive?  I ask because most of Windows 7 computers is not these.  I would check the Device Manager to see if a floppy drive is it shows.  Since you say a drive light turns on, it's the floppy drive or maybe your CD/DVD or hard drive fire?  It seems more likely that Windows is suspended to try to identify a USB device, so I would try to unplug all USB devices except the keyboard and mouse and see if the problem persists.  I had this happen with some markets good USB hubs.  You can always add additional USB ports "inside the box" If you have a desktop computer by getting an expansion card - they are not expensive.  They usually cost between $15 and $25.

    Good luck.

    Hi ad391970,

     

    The reason for updates make changes on the computer would be some conflicting third-party programs or there might be a corruption in the Windows Update components.

    I suggest that you try to install updates by disabling the third-party program conflict and check if it works.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.

    Perform the check and the clean boot if you have the problem.

    1. click on start, type msconfig in the search box and press ENTER.

    User account control permission

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on continue.

    2. in the general tab, click Selective startup.

    3. under Selective startup, clear the check box load startup items.

    4. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click Disable all.

    5. click on OK.

    6. When you are prompted, click on restart.

    7. after the computer starts, check if the problem is resolved.

    If the problem is resolved to check what is the cause of the problem, referring to the link given below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Reset the computer to start as usual

    When you are finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

    Click Start, type msconfig.exe in the start search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    On the general tab, click the Normal startup option, and then click OK.

    When you are prompted to restart the computer, click on restart.

    If the step above does not resolve the issue updates suggest that you try to reset the component of windows update and check if it works.

    Check out the link below to find out how to reset the windows component update

  • HP Deskjet e3520: manually uninstall Print Driver

    Hi all!

    I got myself in quite the situation when I tried to clean up some temporary files and save space on my rather small SSD.  As such, I accidentally deleted the uninstall program for my HP print driver and now I can not uninstall the software, nor I can install newer software.  The software is looking for a file, DJ352x64.msi, located at AppData\Local\Temp\7zS0DDA, but there is obviously no because, well, I deleted it.

    So, any advice on how to manually uninstall my driver's license so I can get my drivers updated?

    Thank you!
