It says I need to update my video device driver? I found my device manager is empty, it is all the?

When I try to play videos, they are very restless. It is said to update my video device driver. When I went to my device manager it was empty. I don't know how to solve these 2 problems. Can someone please?

Thank you

This can solve both problems, certainly the Virgin Device Manager.

This is for XP, but I don't see why it wouldn't also apply to vista.

SYMPTOMS

When you open Device Manager, no devices appear in the list. Instead, a blank window appears.
 
CAUSE
This problem occurs if the Plug-and-Play service has been disabled (disabled).
 
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Click Start, click run, type services.msc and click OK.
  2. Double-click Plug-and-Play.

    If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

  3. In the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.
  4. Services nearby.
  5. Restart the computer.

STATUS

This behavior is by design. MORE INFORMATION
Plug-and-Play is a main operating system service, and therefore, it is best to not disable. It works in normal mode and in safe mode.

  • Am I being hacked from a website of popup saying I need to update my video player?

    I've been on Fingerhut. com (first time) when a popup that has engulfed the entire page said that I had to update my video player and should be less than one minute, 10 seconds actually. He just didn't feel, so I googled and he came is a scam, at least I'm sure it's a scam, I moved my mouse over the button install and the link was helpingtrk.com/base2.php. I googled url and is came up with what I thought was a a forum page, but it was another page of the scam, the url that has been http://mediaupdate15.com/418888/?v1=1 & v2 = 1 & v3 = 1 AND when I looked in my 'history', that the link had a greyed link that has been http://za1.zeroredirect1.com/zcvisitor/a7c6b420-12eb-11e5-bbcf-0a936b024545 that appears in my cookies in gray.

    I NEVER clicked on anything whatsoever on the pages, my question is, just being on these pages, I got my computer infected by a virus?

    If you have not downloaded anything, then most likely you are not infected. But it is worth checking:

    (1) open the Control Panel, uninstall a program. After the loading of the list, click on the column heading "installed on" to group infections, I mean additions by date. This should help discover any install/updater that can push other unwanted software. Beware of everything that you don't recognize / remember, since malware often uses sounding names important or innocent to discourage you remove. Out as much garbage as possible here.

    (2) very probably, it was generated by an ad in the site, but please check for bad just in case modules.

    Open Firefox page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons
    • in the Windows "Run" dialog box, type or paste
      firefox.exe "about:addons"

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Set essential and unrecognized plugins 'never enable '.

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, in case of doubt, disable (or delete, if possible) not recognized and unwanted extensions.

    Often, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    (3) Finally, you can complete your security software regular with sweeping/cleaning of the tools listed in our technical support article: Troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware. These scanners on request are free and take a long time to run. If they end quickly, especially if they require the payment you have a serious infection. I suggest the specialty forums listed in the article in this case.

    I am totally lost and spent two hours trying to figure this out. I just bought the sims 3 and when I try to play said: device 0 cannot run this title. Your video card does not support at least Shader Model 2. Please update your card.
    I tried to update my drivers but to no avail. I have no idea what to do here, can anyone help please? I just want to play this game!

    Your video card is basic it is perfect for office 2D work which is what this laptop was designed for. It is not suitable for playing games and video chip does not respect the Sims 3 system requirements. There is nothing you can do about it. This isn't a limitation of software (drivers), but a physical limitation (this video card cannot play this game). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Defective spare battery - seller says I need to update BIOS - advice needed

    Any advice will be appreciated.

    I bought a spare online battery for my laptop. Since the replacement of the battery, the PC has increased its noise level (IE more often that otherwise seems overwork), so I did a "HP Battery Check" and the result States "one or several cells don't work properly. I contacted the seller, and they say I need to update my BIOS.

    I'm a little worried about it for several reasons:
    1. the software clearly indicates that the battery is not working properly.
    2. the computer and all other software works well.
    3. I have never played with before BIOS and after googling "update of the BIOS", almost all suggest "DO NOT go" unless: you know what you do / the problem is clearly a related problem of BIOS (HP State diagnostics is the battery... and shows no system other problems).

    I'm ok with the replacement of hard drives, RAM etc and treat fairly confident with most software and hardware problems, but I never tried to update a BIOS... and as I need my laptop (and all software running on this subject at the moment) and do not want to go through the stress of venturing into uncharted territory on a current PC - I'm more tempted to just buy another battery from a different company and put this to a bad experience online, as the seller does not simply want for refund or Exchange (as much as the cost of replacing the battery... still!... compared to the opening of a world of problems after trying to update a BIOS which seems to work very well anyway!).

    As I said, any advice would be really appreciated

    Thanks in advance

    James

    PS No. knew software or hardware has been installed since the replacement of the battery

    Details of the laptop: HP G70 111EA laptop, Intel Core Duo T5800 @ 2.00 GHz, 3 GB RAM, Vista Home Premium (32 bit).

    If the purchased battery has been specified in the appropriate type for your computer, I see no reason why a BIOS update would make a difference. More likely, the seller hope you will turn your computer into a brick by updating the BIOS, making it a moot issue bad battery.

    Before you start, I would do anything I can to put in place from an outside source if the battery is actually defective. If you do not know someone with a similar laptop, a computer store or from taking the battery might check what said you that your software. A bad cell in a battery is usually obvious by a voltage drop so that the battery either distributes the specified voltage or it is not.

    If the battery is really bad, they know you ship the battery to them (signature required) and then proceed to cancel any credit card (or other method of payment online product/service) charges. While online sales generally operate at profit margins very tight, which, in itself, does not not to honour a request for an exchange of the product. Stop payment on an item usually attracts attention.

  • Try to play videos says I need to update Adobe 11, but after installing it, still get the same message

    To run all the videos, it says I must upgrade to Adobe 11 something. It runs successfully, says I have it, so any video window opens by saying that I have to install update Adobe that I had just done. When I run the updates in Adobe it tells me no are availible and lists me to an Adobe 10 something. I am frustrated beyond now. Cluless as to what I should do. Thanks a lot for any assistance. I'm not that tech savvy but can follow directions detailed most of the time.

  • Install Flash Player ends; Videos say I need to update my Flash Player.

    Hi all

    We have a customer who gets an error on YouTube he need to upgrade Flash player to view this video.  Running through an installation of Flash player, Adobe Download Manager, and the manual download, ends without error. The search in the list of programs in the control panel shows as being installed, but video will not play again. Looking in manage add-on in IE doesn't show any mention of Flash Player as being there.

    -Windows 7 64 bit

    -J' checked that I use the 32 bit IE

    -Hand uninstall / reinstall of Flash Player says ends, it does not help

    -Uninstall / reinstall Java does not help

    -Internet in the Internet Options window reset does not help

    -Checked the settings that not blocked ActiveX

    -Disabled Trend Micro, did not help

    -The system has been infected recently, has been cleaned with Spybot / MalwareBytes / Spyware Blaster. Uninstalled all three, did not help

    -Installed the old version of Flash, version 9. This installer also said it completed successfully, but also does not work.

    I'm at the stage of ideas.  Any help appreciated.

    Hi, here is the procedure that has been useful to many users with Malware issue.

    First download and SAVE FP uninstaller on your desktop:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/141/tn_14157.html

    Next move the archived site http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html download the Flash Player 9.0.280 21.8 MB on your desktop. It is a zip file.

    Search and extract: Internet Explorer flashplayer9r280_winax.exe and place it on your desktop.  (1.46 MB)
    Download the FP for IE Installer and SAVE to your desktop:(latest version)
      http://fpdownload.Macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash _player_ax.exe

    Once you have on your desk, using the administrator account, you CLOSE all browser windows.
    Disable all anti-virus programs & firewall if it is other than Windows Firewall
    Look in your tray (area near the clock) system for instant messengers, yahoo, aol, etc and turn them off.
    Your computer, run the program uninstall and when it's finished, Reboot (restart).
    Check and make sure all THE anti-virus & Firewall (if needed to be) are always disabled.
    Run the Setup from vs 9 and when you're done, restart your computer
    Test your browser here and you should be able to see the Flash animation (spin) logo and the Flash Player version must be listed.
    http://www.Adobe.com/software/Flash/about/ Must vs 9
    Now, you run the program to uninstall again to uninstall vs 9, when finished, restart your computer
    Check again to make sure that the Anti-anti-virus/firewall are always disabled.
    Run Setup vs 10.2.152.26 and when you're done, restart your computer.
    Then test your browser and you should have now installed 10.2.152.26 vs. If you can see the logo Flash animation (spin), then you have probably Shockwave Flash Object in IE addons, so check that.
    You may want to print these directions to make it easier to follow.

    Let me know if you have any questions.

    I should mention for not trying to use the links directly from any email, they have a problem.

    Thank you

    I need to update my hardware (video card?) video for a game that I want to play and I have no idea how to do that. I don't know where to look for what I have installed on my computer. Help please?

    [Moved from comments]

    Hello

    When you ask questions here at least provide your computer model number and version of the operating system and the system requirements for the game in particular.

    And a little tip for you: If you don't know what you're doing on your computer, you expose yourself to expensive damage to it by opening and remove the material and installation of new equipment.

    I suggest you get out your computer a good computer repair shop, local as well as the requirements for the particular game and ask them to upgrade the hardware that run the game.

    As well as installing a graphics card upgrade, you need memory RAM (memory) must be installed as well.

    System requirements for the game will tell you that information.

    See you soon.
