Programs not answer - should force the closure

A lot of my computer programs keep locking up. The only way to get the system working again is to turn. I have no idea what is causing my machine perform this way & it runs so terribly slow. First of all what happens is there is this pop-up window & it downloads slowly or won't load at all. Then I try to close it will not close & then say it's "not responding". Just what is the cause? & Please try to explain in the simplest terms possible.

Thank you.

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.

For example I can't select a tab to view pictures or details of a vacation rental. Also I am not able to use the drop down menu next to my username for me to disconnect it.

  • Satellite 1000-Z2: driver Intel GPU does not - I should update the BIOS?

    Hello

    I just downloaded and installed the latest driver for satellite 1000 Z2 graphics card which is Intel(r) 82830M chipset Driver revision: 6.14.10.3889. However, it does not work.

    I wonder if I should update my BIOS first. Thank you

    Hello

    It s always a good idea to update the BIOS. Thus, it would be the best you try the BIOS updated and then reinstall the graphics card driver. You can also (if it isn't already) check www.intel.com and download the drivers from there, they are sometimes more up-to-date than the drivers of toshiba. :)

    Please give some comments if the installation of the graphics card took place after the BIOS update.

  • Force the print to stop/restart spooler service when it does not

    Our office has a HP plotter, where the driver (note that we have the latest version, directly from the HP site) seems to cause the print spooler service becomes out of order sometimes.  In turn of the programs (including AutoCAD and Outlook) to lock, as well as windows, as the dialog box, which causes devices and printers.

    If I restart the 'Services' print spooler service in computer management, it goes back to work at least some time - if at least I can work around the problem.  It is important to note however, that even by using this method, it throws a dialog box error saying that the service failed.  But since this is a question with all facilities of this liner installed with Vista, I need to have a method easier to use of the service is restarted.

    I wrote a file .bat base with a net stop spooler command followed by a net start spooler command, but the problem is that, unlike with computer management, net stop does not seem to force the service to shut down if it does not, and I can't find a way to force the stop command.

    Is there a tool more powerful/switch available that I could script so that users can easily stop and restart the spooler service when it does not?

    Thank you

  • Windows will not close, got to do 'End now' to force the narrow

    I get a variety of error messages when trying to close the windows by clicking Start > shut down the computer.  Usually it's ' end program 14 c 4 ' demanding my click on 'end' to force the closure.  It's already happened and I managed to fix then but this time, I'm puzzled.

    Hi NLWest,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

    Method 1

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Notes - camera mode and the draw

    Hello. I have 4 ipad air2 in my nursery for staff to use. We're just using notes, however, we see that 1 of platelets has the camera and function of the draw of the keyboard but the other 3 don't. I checked all 4 at software date wise, all other parameters such as icloud etc. are identical.

    For our work, the possibility of having the function of draw and the camera on the keyboard is very useful. The other 3 have only the text ("BOLD", police etc), on them where are the images of the camera and the tilde. No idea what we're doing wrong?

    First go to settings > general > keyboard > shortcuts > on. Then launch the application Notes. Under the topic files, make sure that you select iCloud so that you use iCloud Notes. Start typing a new one note you should see the shortcuts and camera and drawing to the right above the keyboard tool.

    There seems to be a bit of a problem past, especially with older models of iPad 2. Some people have reported success after that restore their device via iTunes, for others that it has not worked and all they get is a message "bring it in an apple store.

    Since it affects a lot of people, I think it's safe to say that the problem lies in the range of Apple. But I don't think it is recognized or no matter what put forward fix.
