==================================

You may need to update your display and video driver

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 Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Firefox has only display problems in the upper left region of only my Dell U3011 monitor; the monitor does not have these problems with any other application

    Some parts of the Firefox window are translucent, allowing the image of the desktop to show through. These regions are anything but great internet site central image which behaves normally. Unless the desktop is completely black this problem makes reading the tabs, address bar and the bookmark are difficult if not impossible. I encounter this problem only on my new Dell U3011 monitor. Firefox is the only application that has this issue on the Dell monitor. The monitor built into the laptop that animates the Dell monitor does not exhibit this problem.

  • HP monitor does not display "DVi signal.

    My HP LP2275w monitor does not display "DVI signal" when connected with a DVI cable (supplied), but when it is connected via a VGA cable and adapter DVI/VGA (both supplied) it works but no BIOS screen. It begins immediately with the logo of the VICTORY.

    I just bought new HP Pavilion 500-158eg, Intel Core i5-4440, with AMD Radeon HD8570, 2GB processor, running on WIN7 Pro 64 b. VGA and another port of the motherboard are initially blocked so I can connect the monitor only via the output HDMI or DVI on the graphics card.

    I should note that on my old machine without a name with the graphic upgrade ATI Radeon, there is no problem and I used the same cable. There was an electric shock that causes the collapse of the motherboard so I can't even re - check on the old machine. I can't verify if there is a problem with the DVI cable because all laptops in our housing have only the VGA output...

    All solutions?

  • Primary monitor does not work after last nights updated

    • I'm running Ultimate.
    • I have two monitors.
    • My primary monitor does not work.
    • I checked the VGA cables. This isn't the issue.
    • Edit: Just realized that my main monitor is a monitor "Westinghouse". -Who is a "Plug-in-and-play" monitor, there are no drivers.
    • Reinstalled the ATI drivers, did nothing.
    • SYSTEM RESTORED, still nothing.

    I ran the most recent update for final last night, then fell asleep. Everything worked before that date, but when I went to turn on my computer this morning, only my HP [my second monitor.] w17e worked. He said he was installing updates from last night, so I had no problem with him and thought it might show something once like this on the login screen.

    Once that has happened to the login screen, it showed it for a fraction of a second before disappearing. I entered my password and it connected as usual. After login, I turned off my monitor, and then back on, and it showed my normal desktop for a moment, [enough for me to close two-three programs] before she returned empty.

    I recommend you to update the graphics drivers and see if it makes a difference. You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
     
    1. open Device Manager by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. in Device Manager, locate the graphics card and then double-click the device name.
    3. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.

  • WUSB54GC - WLAN monitor does not not on Windows 2000 SP4 computer laptop

    I have a WUSB54GC v3 and I tried to install the drivers and the WIFI monitor on a Gateway Solo 5300 laptop running Windows 2000 SP4.  When I put the disc, the installation automatically started, but stopped after a few seconds with a pop message saying, "this version of windows is not supported" (or something similar to that).  I read in this forum and learned how to manually install the driver from the disk I did.  I checked the device using troubleshooting in Device Manager and shows the driver to be installed correctly and the device works correctly.

    My big problem is that the monitor WLAN (the little green square in the bottom right of the screen) will not illuminate.  There are no available wireless networks and the monitor does not respond to the "Refresh" or anything else.  It seems to be "dead".  How can I get the monitor to work?

    Thank you!

    Mike

    WUSB54GC is not compatible with Window2000... So either you can upgrade your operating system to Windows XP, or you can go for different cards as WUSB54G.

    Hi Uther 9,.

    If the monitor does not remain during the self test, it is defective.

    * Turn off the monitor
    * Remove all cables from the computer monitor
    * Turn on the monitor
    * The floating red/green/blue/white dialog box should appear on-screen on a black background and stay on

    However, it seems that you already have, is most likely a hardware problem:

  • Monitor does not return after sleep.

    When my computer is in sleep mode and I come back to it, the monitor does not.  A message stating that he'll be back in the mode 'sleep', and the only way I can get to come is to manually restart the computer by holding the power button flashes.  The problem seems to get progressively worse - sometimes taking a quite awhile to come back even after rebooting.  I disconnected and then reconnected all the plug-ins and that you have completed all the recent Norton checks available to me.  Any ideas on why it is past, or better yet, how to fix?

  • Reliability Monitor does not work in Win7 Ultimate

    Can someone shed light on why the reliability monitor does not work in Windows 7 Ultimate? Apparently, it has not operated since I installed the operating system on a dual boot w/Vista system as nothing recorded, nor any indication that current operations record is!
    I don't remember having a problem with the tools of Perf and Rel in Vista and performance monitor seems to work in Win7?
    I already read the thread on this issue which was published in January 2009.
    Any suggestions welcome!

    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers!

    I suspect that data collection is not enabled. To follow the steps below to enable it:
    1 activate the data collection for reliability monitor
    Reliability Monitor uses data provided by the RACAgent scheduled task. Reliability Monitor will begin showing an indication of stability, and event information specific 24 hours after installation of the system.
    The RACAgent scheduled task runs by default once the operating system is installed. If it is disabled, it must be enabled manually in the software component for Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in Task Scheduler.
    Membership in the local Administrators group or equivalent is the minimum required to complete this procedure.
    To enable the RACAgent scheduled task
    1. Click Start, click in the search box, type taskschd.msc, and then press ENTER.
    2. in the navigation pane, expand Task Scheduler Library, expand Microsoft, expand Windows, and click RAC.
    3 right-click RAC, click view, and click Show hidden tasks.
    4. click on RACAgent in the results pane.
    noteNote
    The RACAgent task name is maybe not completely visible. If you don't find it, expand the name column in the results pane.
    5. in the Action menu, click Activate.

    If the steps above does not
    2 reset the reliability monitor:
    1. turn off your Windows 7 problem report history.
    NOTE: You need to do step 6 at this link above to delete all the problems.
    2. If the Reliablity monitor is open, close it.
    3. open the Folder Options and select (dot) the hidden files and folders option, and click OK.
    4. open Windows Explorer and navigate to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\RAC.
    5. to save the history of reliability data-
    WARNING: This is an optional step, you will not be able to restore these data if you do not back up this data and it will be gone for good. If you want to ignore this, go to step 6 instead.
    (A) copy the PublishedData and the StateData files and paste them to another backup location.
    6 open the folder PublishedData.
    7. Select all files in the folder and click on delete.
    8. click on Yes to approve it.
    9 open the StateData.
    10. Select all files in the folder and click on Delete

  • Monitor does not work after installing Windows 7.

    I have a Dell laptop with a Dell S1709W Flat Panel screen.  After replacing the Windows Vista came with the laptop for Windows 7, the monitor does not work.  The monitor said that he does not any signal from the computer.  The computer does not show that it has detected the monitor.  The monitor's cable and the connections are good.  What should I do to get the monitor to work?

    You have a graphic external connector for a secondary monitor, if yes attach it and then go to the Dell support web site and download Windows 7 drivers for your laptop model. Install the driver chipset first, then the driver graphics/video, network/LAN and drivers of the potential.

    If you do not have an external graphics connector, call Dell Tech support. They have a method to recover your system without losing data or applications.

  • HP Envy laptop monitor does not light

    Just bought this HP Envy with Windows 8 just over a month ago.

    Today, after the installation of an HP recommended that Windows Update the monitor does not light.  The power led is on the internet led is activated and the CAP turns on if you press.  Still no monitor.

    Bought it at best buy and it's a drive of 1 1/2 at this store if I have to take it to Geek Squad

    If you have windows 8.1 on it then it looks like the update of kb2903939 killed. I fight with this problem since Christmas.

    Power cycle the cell several times without leaving start completely. It should bring up a screen of recovery. If you can find the path to start safe mode, you can uninstall kb2903939 and then restart. That fixed my problem.

    Otherwise, it should be a call to HP or Microsoft support.
