Problem updating display on Alienware Area-51 m15X Vista drivers

Hello. Recently, I had a virus on my Alienware Area-51 m15X. It finally did my restore my computer to its factory site. Most of the drivers was missing. I reinstalled my wireless card driver and the graphics driver, but the graphics driver does not work correctly. I uninstalled and went on the Web from NVIDIA site to reinstall the appropriate driver, and it still doesn't work right. I used Driver Sweeper to clean all the files on my HARD drive that are associated with the NVIDIA device in safe mode. I reinstalled all the and restarted my computer and I still get the error message. I can't send it because it is not under the manufacturer's warranty, and I have little money to send it to Best Buy Geek Squad. Please, if there is a way to solve this problem, even though it requires the formatting of my HARD drive, I'll be ready to do so.

I solved the problem. For future use, if you own an Alienware or use the NVIDIA 8600 M GT card, uninstall the driver using Device Manager and use the driver Sweeper to remove all traces of the driver. Once this done, do not restart, but go on the alienware website and download the NVIDIA driver (you must know your operating system, ect. ect. for the driver) and install it. Windows will say that his signature is unreadable. Click on install anyway. reboot and your laptop must be as new :D

  • Problems with Windows Update! ("some settings are managed by your system administrator"?)

    I seem to have problems with my windows update. Last week when I checked to see if updates were needed that I was unable to view them because he said that "some settings are managed by your system administrator" who won't let me change the settings and the display of updates. It's my own personal computer so I am the administrator. However, this week update windows begins to function normally because there was an update available and I managed to download it, but a few days later, the windows on the screen update returned to say that "some settings are managed by your system administrator. I did a scan for spyware/adware/virus recently and I had only a low risk of adware that was detected and deleted without modification with windows update. This problem started right after that I got a warranty of software installed by Dell, I don't know if what they did could cause the problem. The system I use is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • UPDATE! Poor results Area 51 R2 6900 k CPU

    It is a call to the community of owners of 6900 k area 51 R2 there for it please let me know your results, as you can see below the buff performance after 'upgrading' of the k 5930 lower stella, and as Dell support are unable to help me confirm the results below, or assist in any way to improve or to check the performance They advised me to ask for feedback from the community...

    Can't say I am impressed with the Alienware Area 51 R2 and how he uses the Einf k. 6900 is a comparison between the 5930 k and k 6900

    so it's quite disappointing for such a significant update, so I thought that like to compare to another 6900 k and define the Asus as a point of reference

    HOW can there have THAT much of a difference, I understand that it might be OC'ing goes with the Asus but anyway... More disturbing still, the slower GPU performance which, after upgrading the CPU, I thought would be a flow of free subtle boost but the opposite has been the case.

    I checked the BIOS and everything seems to indicate ok, in terms of cores 7 and 8 CPU power management config limit is set to 0 compared to 39 for 1 & 2 and 38 for 3-6. Is this correct?

    EDIT: change to 38 results

    OC to upgrade 2 yields marginal improvements to 19800ish but still miles away from any kind of worthy buff, am I stupid and there's something I'm missing here? Any comments would be great, if not ill have to live with the wrong choice, I did...

    I am SO glad that I didn't pull all the stops and get the 6950 x (feel sorry for the person who has this bench!):

    NOTE to Alienware... you have TO solve this problem, area 51 is the machine Alienware flagship, what should we do when a single recognized industry and software benchmark multi core shows constantly Alienware signage behind the rest?

  • Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) ejection of the optical disc drive does not

    New Alienware Area 51 R2 (end of 2014) happened the month last in January 2015. Not tried any DVD or Blue-ray until yesterday. The optical drive eject button does not work in windows pro 8.1, but soft eject works in click with the right button on the drive and select "eject". The button works also before starting Windows start. I invited it must be a software problem and could be fixed by updating some drivers. But I googled a lot and can't find solutions for other Alienware models, but not for the Office of area 51 R2.

    Bluetooth also does not work, but fixed with a new driver from Intel.

  • problem updating the contract line using OKC_CONTRACT_PVT.update_contract_line

    Hi all

    I am facing a problem trying to update the end of contract line dateusing the api OKC_CONTRACT_PVT.update_contract_line. When executing the procedure that calls the api it returns the State S without error and also update the table of base that is OKC_K_LINE_B with new end date successfully.

    The problem is that whenever I'm if commit the changes to the front end, application - contract line record gets endangered. What is happening to all instances of the element. Here are the settings I am passing through the api,

    p_chrv_rec.ID: = < id for row in the okc_k_lines_b table >;
    p_chrv_rec.end_date: = < new_end_date >;
    p_chrv_rec. VALIDATE_YN: = 'N'; -I don't want the api to validate attributes

    Please note that the api is correctly updating the record base table but not able to display in the application. I tried to compare the same record before and after the update to confirm if no value of the indicator is is changed due to the record does not appear in applications. but there is no such changes except the new date and the annualiazed_factor. Can is it you pls let me know no work around as if any option profile must be changed to achieve the same.

    Navigation to the im application to check the update new end date of contract line is:

    Oracle Install Based Agent user-> Instance element-> contracts

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Hespel.

    Published by: user10545574 on July 8, 2010 06:56

    Hello

    Shouldn't you be using the public api (OKC_CONTRACT_PUB) rather than the private sector? By directly using the package private, you are probably bypassing some features that could cause problems like the one you are talking about.

    Kind regards.

  • I have problems to display the Korean characters.

    My Mozilla will display the Korean characters until last week, but now it displays them in the form of the squares with a very small number. I tried all sorts of encodings, but they are not always shown. I am sure that my computers has the support of the East for languages, it properly displays files Korean but in all my browsers (Mozilla, Explorer and Chrome), suddenly, Korean characters are displayed as squares.

    I will be grateful to those who can solve my problem, ' cuz display of Korean language is really important to me.

    I have Mozilla 20 Beta.

    The sounds that you have a problem with the font that is used to display Korean characters if this is the case in all browsers.

    You may need to reinstall this font.

    Other East Asian as the Chinese and Japanese languages do still work?

    Where did you download the drivers?
    Page ATI drivers directly will not work if you use the drivers provided on the official website of Toshiba.

    And in general why you do a update display driver? Is this necessary?

    Guys there is a problem with the display. There are thick lines across the screen from top to bottom.

  • Windows Update displays the empty dialog box - cannot update (Vista x 32)

    Hello!

    Dell Vostro 1400 laptop
    Windows Vista 32-bit

    I had this problem since December 08 and sought a solution for this problem on and off for 6 months now, hoping ultimately that someone could post a viable solution.  So far all that I tried and reading doesn't seem to work, but at the same time a lot of positions were never concluded by the original poster so, either they abandoned or found something else.
    This image describes essentially the question that I have:
    Here's my Log of Windows Update (to change the txt extension, so that I could upload it)
    Following advice found on other posts, I tried using these two programs and changed nothing: windowsupdateagent30 - x 86 .exe and ResetWindowsUpdate.msi (in the first mode and aggressive mode, restarting after each time)
    Let me know if there is any other information I can give you, I'm waiting for your tips.

    Here are a few links that our community members have posted involving Malware and Virus protection.  Please run or walk through the suggestions as you wish;

  • problem updating SP3 after a reboot at the end of the update process, IE8 will not start

    I have no problem updated from sp2 to sp3. However after a reboot at the end of the update process, IE8 will not hold. When I click on ie, computer absolutely crashes. Help, please

    Restart your computer and if restart is ok are not trying to run IE8. Go to add and remove and remove IE8 and your computer will be re-established on IE7.  If all is ok so far restart your computer once more and if everything is ok at this point you can download IE8 again.

  • Why dosent my computer install updates to windows that are already to install? It is said that they are installed, but when I turn it on they aren't there.

    I went to microsoft fixit and he said he solved the problem, but there... whenever I turn on my computer, it says that I have updates to install. they are the same ones over and over again.

    OPTION A: If KB2539631, KB2539636, KB2572073, KB2572078, KB2518864 & KB2518870 are always listed as being successfully installed in the section History Update http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com, don't worry about this.

    If this is not the case, open a Support Incident free of charge by the notes in my earlier answers.

    OPTION B: If your misguided use of the RegServe caused this problem, only an another clean install will correct it.  (No, I DON'T recommend to try a repair installation.)

    OPTION C: If the failure to run the McAfee removal tool before installing Avast4 [1] and fix it any/all the Windows updates after your last clean install caused this problem, only one other clean install will.  (No, a repair install won't work.)

    Tip: See what happens when the next batch of updates are released on 13 dec-11. If the behavior persists, meet again on this issue .

    ============================================
    [1] if Avast was not invited to upgrade you to Avast6 (released in February-11) and yet, something could be seriously wrong with your computer, in my humble OPINION.
