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

  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: run DriverView - define the VIEW
  for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
  the BIOS and chipset drivers.)

  -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.

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, this leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who will be generally
  be older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it) and
  Then, get new ones manually if you wish.

• Windows 8 will not recognize my second monitor

  After the upgrade to Windows 8, the computer does not recognize my second monitor. Disconnect and reconnect the device after it remains unknown. I am running a Dell Inspiron all in one office. Do I need to install a driver so that he will recognize the secondary monitor? If so, which?

  Access

  Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen resolution

  and make sure that both monitors are indicated and "Extend desktop to this display" is selected for each monitor.

  If both monitors are not displayed, try clicking on "Detect".

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

  Check Device Manager to see if the card video cards (if you use more than one) and both screens are indicated in the list of devices.

  Later:

  Try to go to the Dell website, enter your service number (usually located on a label on the back of the case) or the installation allows to detect the pattern.

  See if there are files on your computer for Windows 8.

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

  Another option is to use a USB to VGA or USB key to video DVI 'card', according to which will accommodate the Dell) has no Windows 8 pilots. For example. I use a unit of IOGear (USB to DVI). After starting Windows 8 Pro, it was detected and drivers automatically downloaded and installed for it.

• My computer does not recognize that I have two monitors connected.

  I have a VGA splitter cable, but even after I used the cord to connect two cords vga to a port, the computer is only noted one of the monitors. So when I go into settings to try to get them to display both, or to identify, the computer notice only a single monitor. So the problem is that my computer does not recognize that there are two put monitors in place.

  Cable splitter separates the single signal only. The computer only sees it as an output. You would need a different video card use the two forms as separate monitors instead of simply split the signal.

• Computer does not recognize my Sansa e260

  I run Windows 7 Home Premium. My MP3 player is a Sandisk Sansa e260.

  Normally, to charge the Sansa, I've just plug it into a USB port on the computer. It is immediately recognized and loading begins.

  Today, while I was out walking the dog, the Sansa ran out of juice. So when I got home I plugged the computer in the usual way. The computer does not know that it existed. It didn't start to load, it does not appear as a drive in Windows Explorer.

  I rebooted the computer with the trendy Sansa. No improvement. I ran "Find the hardware changes" on the USB entry in Device Manager. No change.

  I tried the Sansa in computer from Vista to my wife (who also accused there from time to time). Same result - the computer does not recognize the Sansa.

  Any ideas, please?

  Try performing a reset before you plug it into your computer to charge. There may be just enough juice left for this. You can usually squeeze a few more drops of a flat (any type) battery by heating slightly he. Maybe put it in your Pocket next to your body under a sweater for a while, or take it to bed with you. Your body heat to warm up gently.

  Now that old hat so to speak, press and hold the market/menu button while you count to 20. You can do it silently so the people around you do not think you have freaked out. OK, now, release the button and after a few seconds, press again to see if it boots up on its own. If so, place the cable of life support (Sansa) to quick before he dies again.

• BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry Storm my computer does not recognize my PIN code

  My computer does not recognize my Blackberry Storm when it is connected. Recently, I've updated the software on my phone to 4.7. The desktop software was still in 4.3. On Sunday, I connected the phone to my computer, and it was the beginning of my question. I uninstalled the software from my PC. Then I reinstalled the software updated since the BB site. But I still have the same question. I see an icon at the bottom right of my window that says: "Device disconnected", while in the box PIN number it says, 'NONE '. I don't know if the problem is with the USB cable. When it is connected to my phone, the phone is in charging mode.

  Any advice on what to do?

  Most of the time a simple battery pull will correct this problem.

  Try to do a battery pull... Remove the battery with device 'ON' wait 20-30 seconds and replace the battery, wait for the device to restart (reboot may take up to 2 minuets)

  Mine will also do what you explain and a battery pull will clear up right ir.

• Computer does not recognize Toshiba external 500G HDD - HARD drive

  Sorry, I use a translator, because all the illiterate

  A year and a half used the hard drive, and now the computer does not recognize it, the TV too.
  In Device Manager, it is there, but says "initialization error".

  What should do?
  Thanks for the replies

  You have partitions software installed on the laptop you?
  I guess that the HARD disk does not appear in windows Explorer, but common partition as the partition Wizard tool might be able to recognize the HARD drive.
  You can try to format the HARD disk and to create the new NTFS partition.

  Another solution:
  Usually, you can initialize the disk by DiskManagement.

  In disk management, right-click the disk you want to initialize and then click on initialize disk.
  In the dialog box initialize the disk, select the disk to initialize.
  You can choose to use the master boot record (MBR) or the style of partition GUID partition table (GPT).

  Once a disk is initialized, you can create partitions on it.
  After you create a partition, you can format the partition to create a filesystem (NTFS).
