  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  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
  Poster: 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 Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  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 there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer 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 are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

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

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• Don't click Desktop error "Windows explore does not work.

  Original title: Do not click on the desktop.

  My desktop computer has worked fine and now all of a sudden I am unable to click anywhere on the desktop. I am running windows 7 64 bit. If I click on the desktop, it will be then to come crash with the message Windows explores does not work then he'll recover.

  Hi Nicolas,.

  I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.

  I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

  Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-us

  Note:
  1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.

  2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.

  4) note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

  Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

• The search in Windows Explorer has stopped working properly - it does not find the files which are there, but will find other files that match the search criteria

  Window 7

  Was working before, but have only allowed a number of updates to Windows that had been blocked for a while.

  For example. Type 'safe' in the search box. It finds files and directories with 'security' in the title, but not the files and directories that I can see are there with 'safe' in the title.

  When I search using the "safe * ' it seems to do exactly the same thing as"safe ".  It does not show only files beginning with 'safe'

  My suggestion was not ' safe * ' but ' name of the file: ~ safe * "(without the quotes).

  What can I do to get a running Stream 7 tablets?

  Hello Aberger,

  I guess that you have improved your 7 to 10 of Windows Workflow, but now you want to reinstall Windows 8.1, correct?

  If you went to go back beyond the 30 day trial period, you can use the image USB, you must have created 8.1 Windows before installing Windows 10.

  IF you have not done this media, you will need to clean install Windows 8.1 with Bing.

  You can not install ordinary Windows 8.1 copy unless you buy a new key.

  Machines that accompanies Windows 8.1 no longer a sticker with a key to the subject because the key is embedded in the bios. Installing Windows 8.1 with Bing will activate when he sees the key in the bios.

  During the installation process, you may need to click Skip to ignore entered the key until Windows has installed fully. If so, this will cause windows to enter a Limited State of Activation. When you connect to the internet to update, it will fully activate.

  You must contact the HP Support directly to the new copy of the installation media if you do not already have.

  Here is the link to contact...

• After updated recent windows 10 keyboard not work properly in Firefox [and also Chrome but well on board].

  Key press a single key seed to type QWERTY in sequence on each press. The virtual keyboard works very well.

  The keyboard has no problem in other programs [except Chrome]

  Upgrade Windows 10 was last week and everything was fine until today when the Tuesday updates have been installed.

  Have tried to reinstall the keyboard drivers, used a different keyboard and change the settings of the keyboard, but to no avail.

  Obviously something to do with browsers because it only affects Firefox and Chrome [why not explore / Edge?] ... then tried to reset the settings and then reinstall... but again without success.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Found it... took off Zonealarm and all is well again.

  I forgot Zonealarm has also updated that day... don't know why it only affected Firefox and Chrome but not flight attendants.

  ZoneAlarm are behind the curve on Windows 10 and of course always, haven't paid the stable version.
