• How to disable automatic driver updates

  I connect my laptop to a network, every day at work. Many days windows tries to automatically update the printer drivers for a lot of printers that I don't need (and don't know even where they are). 1. How can I it stop doing that? 2. What is the best way to get rid of the dozens of defective installations that appear in Manager devices (under other devices) with an exclamation point?

  Well, windows update does not install the driver updates unless you have enabled this option in the windows update settings.

  But if the laptop has been provided by your operator then their implimented IT various types of update to be executed when you connect to their network.

• Z930 Portege - Toshiba offers a sort of automatic driver update software?

  Hello

  I have Z930 from Portage and I was wondering of TOSHIBa offer a sort of automatic update driver software?

  For example on mu Lenovo or my office (MSI), I have apps that check currently installed version of the drivers with one that is available on WWW and allow to download and install the latest.

  Toshiba offers similar software?

  Thanks for the reply
  Best regards

  Yes, tools like gas stations or Tempro informs you about new drivers available for the Toshiba laptop.

  Usually such tools are already preinstalled on the laptop. In my case the Toshiba Service Station was already installed by default.

• Photosmart 8050 with no disk installation for Windows 7. Driver update fails! Help!

  I tried the update of Windows (recommended) to load the driver and it fails.  I just need a copy drivers or a copy of the hard drive, not the usual recommended, "simply load the Windows Update and it will fix it."  I wonder if the loading of Windows XP drivers for this printer (that do not EXIST to copy and download) would have at least wake him or somehow fix the problem.  My computer worked on this all morning without success.  Any ideas on how to get this driver not to mention THAT the Windows 7 software update?  Thank you for your time and your consideration.

  Or just run the printer Installation Wizard to download and install the correct software.

• The Intel Corporation for Intel(r) HD Graphics driver update download size: 147.0 MB

  This update constantly fails, all others - no problem.

  Anyone help with this problem?

  Drivers often fail Windows Update (WU).

  Download the Intel driver update utility and see if it offers an update.  Chances are it will not, and this means that the WU update is simply not true.  If this is the case, do a right-click on this update and choose hide.

  Intel driver update utility is one of the very few sources of trusted driver update.  First source of choice is always the OEM of your machine.  Most of the utilities update the driver on the web is virtual scams.  Much malware, very few or even no valid driver updates.

• PC crashes with DBO when downloading a file using Firefox to my iPad

  PC crashes with DBO when downloading a large file via WiFi to my iPad and using AVPlayerHD player on the iPad. There is no report of error in Firefox, just the crash dump Windows 7 due to the accident. Only the combination of Firefox on PC and player AVPlayerHD on iPad causes this crash. Any other combination of PC and iPad works.
  Examples:
  Firefox on PC and iFile on iPad works well.
  Google Chrome on PC works with all programs on iPad.
  Firefoc on PC and player AVPlayerHD on iPad crashes.

  So you get a Blue Screen of Death on your Windows Machine? You have the exact error codes that appear when you get this blue screen?

  Blue screens mean that you have a problem with a driver, hardware or virus on your PC, not with Firefox. I try to launch a program of analysis such as http://www.resplendence.com/whocrashedand see if she can tell you what triggered the accident. Also, make sure that all your drivers are up to date on your computer (especially the graphics driver: update your drivers graphics to use hardware acceleration and WebGL) and check the virus (Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware).

  After that, if you still get the blue screen and crashed does not help, I would say to try to test your RAM with a utility such as http://www.memtest.org/

• Windows Update wants to make a driver update for my wireless 1505 dell minimap

  I have a dell inspiron 1720 with a dell 1505 wireless Mini PCI card.
  I've used rc1 Win7 32bits almost since release and had the same problem but blamed the rc1 status.

  I recently installed win7 ult 64 bit and the initial drivers automatically install for this card (version 4.176.75.21) released on 10/01/2008 work very well and I can connect to my router N to 270 MB/s.

  However, Windows Update wants to update the drivers of 5.30.21.0
  on this operation, it limits the connection to 54 Mbps

  After speaking with the support of dells, they claim that the 5.30.21.0 drivers are not intended for the mini-map 1505

  restore drivers allows me to connect again to 270 MB/s

  I'm pretty happy with it except for 2 things.

  1. I fear that other people with the same card be the victim of a bad update from microsoft.

  2 and my main concern is that I had a very hard to solve the problem with the 4.176.75.21 drivers when using the win7 RC 1.  My computer when making fashion 'sleep' declares that he is not stopped correctly and he was attributed to incorrect wifi drivers.

  It is extremely difficult to solve because it is not all the time.

  I'm just the eccentric? I have hard to find someone else with the same question. but that could come from several different reasons.

  any help would be appreciated.

  Live and learn. Experienced users only get updated driver required/need to download pages for the device manufacturer or the computer, never update Windows.

  To avoid the download and/or installation of driver updates, you need to configure automatic updates to the updates but let me choose whether to download and install them . If & when there is an update, you don't want to download/install, disable the update then "hide".

• Folder of Windows/Install Clean or update install Cleanup Utility

  I am running Windows XP Home Edition and my folder C:/Windows/Installer is 21 GB.  I googled how to clean safely this folder but all answers point to Installer Cleanup Utility.  I found this note on the site which provided the program download "Windows Installer Cleanup (MSICUU2.exe) utility that was previously referred to as in this article resolved a few installation problems but sometimes cause problems with other programs or components installed on the computer. For this reason, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center. "Is there a solution to update?

  Microsoft has stopped supporting Windows Installer Cleanup utility and removed from its server to download because, according to Microsoft "while the utility Windows Installer Cleanup fixed some installation issues, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer."

  I didn't know all the information about the "other components" were damaged or under what circumstances, but I guess someone, something had some time, fool you.

  However, you can still get the Installer Cleanup utility, including the utility msizap.exe (which is packed with the Installer Cleanup utility but is not the same thing), http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html

  If you want to be ultra careful, get you the imagery of disk or disk cloning software to backup (which is A good thing to have in any case) and create a complete backup of the drive before using the program installation Cleanup Utility or msizap.  In this way, if anything goes wrong in fact, you can restore your system from backup.
