  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: run DriverView - set
  SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
  updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

  -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.

  Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however remember to check
  your antivirus, the main drivers and BIOS update programs and also to solve problems

  Hi guys,.
  It seems that my problem is solved.
  I removed a lot of the years of updates then run my drive setup and turned off and went to bed.
  When I turned on this morning I had to install updates. It was the only thing I was worried, and as this seems to be fixed, I am glad I use Firefox as my browser.

  I installed Speccy and he ran and it shows as running windows updates and it works correctly.

  Thanks a lot for all your help guys.

• Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  Why my windows freeze and go does not respond when I try to install the msn photo on hotmail download tool?

  The active x bar descends into the small window and freezes all windows open right there and will not respond. This happens when I open a new message and try to attach photos.

  Things I tried but has not made a difference:

  reinstalled IE 8, deleted the history of the browser, disk Cleanup, removed msn photo upload control, optimized IE8

  With xp media center

  PS. This occurs also at any time the information down to install an active x on any site control

  The only way to surf now with frustration is to use IE 8 NOT add optional

  So I fixed that on my own and that's how I did it.

  You must uninstall IE 8 completely which will bring you to IE 7 (in my case) and then install IE 8 via the site updates or microsoft.

  Uninstallin IE 8 by going to:

  Start--->

  Control Panel--->

  Add Remove programs--->

  Scroll down to IE 8--->

  Click on delete.

  IE8 updates must be removed also, if not then click the box 'To see the updates' on the top of the window to scroll down, look for the IE 8 security updates and delete.

  Resart your computer and install IE 8.

  This worked for me and may or may not work for you.

  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.

• Install Firefox 31 point 8.1 of Windows just gives a blank screen and the error "not responding".

  31 Firefox has been installed and works perfectly on my Asus laptop under win 8.1, until this morning. I opened the browser and just got a white screen. The Task Manager showed Firefox as "not responding". I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox twice, as an administrator, try 'reset Firefox' the second time. No change. I downloaded Firefox 29 and could install. It opens but freezes and unresponsive, as soon as I get a web address. I'm stumped, as Firefox worked perfectly until this morning. Someone had the same problem and, better yet, found a solution?

  It could be the work of one of your modules, or even add / bad-ware.
  Look through your list of modules and make sure you know what each of them is
  and what it does. In addition, to check the programs that are on your computer

  Windows: Start > Control Panel > uninstall programs.
  Mac: Open the folder "Applications".
  Linux:

  • Ubuntu unity {web link}
    
  • Xfce: Category for the Applications Menu items
  • options depends on the package and the desktop environment Manager

  Go through the list. If you find something that you do not
  know what it is, use a search on the web.

  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.

• Backup and restore do not respond

  Hello

  I have Windows 7 Professional installed on a Dell laptop computer Vostro (work computer).  We use windows backup backup each laptop, and she recorded this info on our Windows Server 2008.  I had him daily backup, and it had worked well for a long time.  Two months ago it suddenly stopped working.  I went to start the backup manually - through the restore backup dialog &.  I would like to click on the button to say "save now" and the circular icon timer would indicate it was working/thinking for a second, then nothing would happen.  More information - I do not have and have never had Acronis True Image, which is the common cause of this problem based on my research.  I can set up the parameters of the backup-there just never starts the program.  In addition, all the world backups in my office work very well.

  So I troubleshoot-made it for a while, and that's what I've done so far:

  I checked services - they are on

  I looked at the logs for Windows backup - the last entry says he had run February 19, no error and nothing since then.

  I have reset the backup & restore via a registry change - problem persists

  I tried to do a system restore, but I did not restore from February points (the question started February 19th)

  I uninstalled all the programs installed around this date (just google reader & Skype, but I thought at least I could exclude)

  I've done countless restarts

  I tried to do a repair of the boot in the boot menu (F8) - once again, nothing.

  I don't know what else to try at this point.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  Erica

  After putting together the newspaper of errors, I looked at Windows backup box in the Task Scheduler, and somehow, he had set up for Windows Vista & Windows Server 2008 instead of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008.  I changed it to be configured for Windows 7, etc, right click on the name to run now, and it worked!  So I think I am well now.  Thanks :)

• Macbook Air trackpad and keyboard do not respond

  So, the trackpad and keyboard on my MacBook Air (13-inch mid-2013) died mid sentence the other day without discernible reason. No hits, no spill - just throw in the towel. I've had Macs fail before, but it is always due to a catastrophic incident of coffee or a drop of water. All other issues I've ever had, I was able to solve. I'm stumped on this one. Have not been able to find a solution here, so I thought I would post. (The first time poster, so apologies if I did badly.)

  I got a keyboard and a USB mouse and the machine still works perfectly. The only key that works on the built-in keyboard is the key to power. So I did the obvious things:

  -SMC reset

  -Reset the PRAM

  -Start

  Nothing.

  But then I tried a diagnostic test (restart while pressing D) and the trackpad and keyboard we are open! Diagnostic tests reported no problem, but then as soon as I connected from this screen... nothing new. But, as I said, with a USB keyboard/mouse, it works perfectly. I'm typing on it now. Also updated for OSX El Capitan 10.11.5, but there was no joy to be there either.

  So I took it to the Genius Bar and they told me, it would probably need a logic board replacement, but that seems not good not me since everything else works perfectly well. I'm running out of ideas, but I don't really want to leave still on it! Note that it is of course out of warranty too. If there is no simple solution, I am open to get inside.

  I would be recognizing any new thinking that the community might have. Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I'm sorry to say, all signs from your description point to a number of logic board. Without a guaranteed protection or apple, it will cost a little more. Unless you are ready to use a USB keyboard or wireless and a mouse, there is a hardware malfunction that prevents keyboard and mouse operation. Apple uses a program called a "MRI" (Mac resource Inspector) who determines whether a aspect any may be defective, and the Genius Bar has enough experience to say what the signs are pointing. I would like to trust them on this one, it is not just something on the side of software or firmware that you can do.
