  • Windows has stopped working properly

    "" I have windows vista and when I try to surf the internet, after awhile, it appears as a small windows that says "windows has stopped working properly ' and it restarts not close windows. It started before this date sometimes more often until my pc broke down: it became a flashy blue screen with writing something like problem phsichical... damage discs and now I tried to format it but it seems like the same problem comes up... now I can't download it again up to a certain point It is stackable

    Looks like your system is good enough corupted.  I backup my data and restore the computer to factory settings.  The procedure for this varies from a make and model to another, but should be in the documentation for your computer.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • SPORE on Windows 7 installs but doesn't start. Message says "Spore has stopped working".


    I recently bought the game spore original and installed on my compaq cq5320f. It installed correctly but when I try to run the game, the screen goes out for a second, then an error message box saying "spore has stopped working" it self closes and says windows is working on a solution and if it finds one, that he will let me know. the only option is to close the box.

    I tried everything, including a spoke with a representative from EA that had me do a start-up in minimal mode, of the United Nations and to reinstall and even suggested I buy a new video card: I did. I upgraded to the Radeon 4850.

    I am the only user on this computer and have had norton antivirus running on it every second because she was online. When I right click on the SPORE icon, it does not give my an option to run the previous version and the same error occurs when you try to run as an administrator (whose profile is already anyway).

    I am at a loss here. I know that's not the game, because I installed it on my laptop (running Vista) and it works fine.

    Please... help?

    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.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.
