  • Is there a way to know what physical events are happening in real time?

    I just had a problem from my phone since last week. I wouldn't do something unusual. Knows running programs with regard to my knowledge and visible only windows are concerned. And my hard drive would be thrown open. I don't know which program is the cause. So I asked for help in the windows event viewer and look under hardware events because that's what I thought would contain the event in question. but it was empty.

    I'm here to ask you all, if anyone can help in this regard.

    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.

    Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus
    programs, the main drivers and BIOS update and also solve the problems with the cleanboot method

  • Is there a way to know what makes a noise of grinding on my lap? I was told that my sound card driver may be able

    Sound card:

    Analog Devices, Inc.

    Model: SoundMax Digital Audio Intergrated

    Driver: smwdm.sys

    Updated: February 17, 2012

    Video card:

    NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500

    Pilot: nv4_mini.sys

    No upgrade

    I recently did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc and found things that I didn't exist on my computer, which was given to me by my nephew.  He turns quiet and really did not have any complaints until after that I did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc.  Now, that sounds like a grinding machine.  I was told that when I talked about Facebook, I need to update my sound card driver.  I did a search to see what it means, but I am not prepared to do right now.  Can someone reassure me that it will be an easy fix?

    Could be a problem of fan cooling, remove the side cover of the tower and see if you can see or hear the sound is coming from.

    My advice would be the same. Certainly, it looks like a fan at the origin of the problem. Fans get older they intermittently can make noise. This would explain why you hear sometimes and not others.

    Furthermore, to see if your sound card, causing the noise (which I doubt), just turn off all your speakers when you hear the noise. If the sound stops immediately, it's actually a sound card related question.

    There are often several fans inside the computer.  There will be one which is part of the power supply. Sometimes one or more attached to the casing of the computer itself (usually the Panel that you remove the first and one on the front of the case.)  There will probably be one on top of the CPU (central processing unit), as well as on the video card.

    Not recommended advice (which I did before) - gently tap on the center of the fan that you suspect is making noise. Jiggleling it will sometimes make noise to stop. In this case, you know which fan needs to be replaced.

    Even worse advice (which I also done before) - take a small piece of wood (for example, a 1/4-inch dowel rod) and insert slowly into the fan to keep it from turning. If the noise stops, you have found the fan that needs to be replaced. Remove the stick to regularize quickly because he will always try to run and we don't want it burn.

    If you can't find that a fan is causing trouble you want to replace as soon as possible because it will eventually stop working and cause one or more components in your computer to overheat.

  • I would like to install the player, but I do not know what operating system choose.

    I have Windows XP Professional. The choice to install Reader are for Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 (32-bit), Windows XP SP2 (64-bit). Which should I choose?

    It is quite unlikely that you will perform "64 bit" flavor, so you need to know

    This may depend on your condition. If the computer on which you want to install the new operating system is for typical home use, then you may want to buy Windows 7 rather than Windows Server 2008.

    I had an Apple iPad since when they went out first;  How can I know what version I have so I can upgrade to the latest version, I can use?  I also have a desktop computer Apple which is older than the iPad?  Thank you

    Parameters

    General

    On

    If you have had since it first came out, then it is very possible that you have a first generation iPad (if your ipad has no camera it's a first gen). If this is the case iOS 5.1.1 is the highest iOS, you can run

    If you have a newer version than the one you can do your research. Update to the latest iOS may require that you run the latest version of iTunes, but I know that mac set out operating systems often and cannot run the latest versions. So I would research before accidentally yourself updating you in a corner (some people update their live iPad (which came with iOS 6 I believe) and then find out that their computer can not run the most recent iTunes they need to synchronize their iPad to their mac.)
