• Lost all network drivers for Windows 7 64 bit

  My sons laptop has lost all the network (without wireless and ethernet) drivers - uncertain cause or how to solve like any image to restore and unable to access the internet to download drivers. Is it possible to download drivers to another computer, except for the flash player and install it via USB?

  Any help is appreciated...

  Yes, you must visit the manufacturer of PC Web site support and look for the laptop model and download the driver in the flash drive and move it to the laptop and install it.

  I suggest to do a complete analysis of the system of the laptop for download:

  Then run a full system scan in the PC which is facing problem.

• I lost all the icons on my desktop

  I left my laptop open, my cat sitting on the keyboard and some walked. Now, I have NO icons on my desktop? I tried "Show Desktop", I tried some other Office of the Control Panel options. Still no icons. All other functions of PC appear to be good. I prefer not to have to do a complete if possible restore function

  Recently, I have a case to a malware that changed the desktop folder attribute to hidden.
  C:\Users\%userprofile%\desktop
  If all of your icons will disappear even when they still exist in this folder. The solution, remove the hidden attribute.

• Lost all the icons of printers in the rear panel Installation Acrobat Reader X 10. Every time when I tried to add a printer (to re - install): Pc autostopped print spooler.

  Uninstalled Acrobat Reader, problem still there.

  The system restore.  Still no help.

  Is gone at the beginning-Online Admin Tools-online Service =>-online Start print spooler.

  But as soon as you click on "Add a printer", auto pc stopped print spooler again.

  (Think that a 'Printer setup' command has been blocked in the pc...) ?

  Please read one of the web pages I've linked to step B.

  Did you go to the HP support as suggested?  I sounds like you need to re - download the software.  Again, read "Article 1."
  What makes you think that "Active X" has nothing to do with your problems? Or are you confused 'Active X' with Adobe Reader X (for example, Adobe Reader 10)?
  What do mean 'Java Active x?  Java and Active X are two completely different technologies, Sun and Microsoft.  There is a 'Java - Active X Bridge,' but most of the users would not be involved with that.  Where did you get "Java Active X?
  The only thing that you definitely don't want to (and cannot, in any case) is upgraded to Vista.
