Recent update I've done to my computer. September 24, 2010

I have Vista Home, Windows 7.  I did an update of optoinal alert me on own microsoft hardware.  I read everything, press the button I agree, and then realized that I have no idea on this update. It seems that I will receive alerts if microscoft owns the material?  Is it mainly for people working on the internet, which connects the screens?

How can I find a list of my updates?

I don't keep a lot of photos or videos on my hard but drive transfer them to an external hard drive that is not connected to my laptop unless I use as external hard drive at this time so I don't know has nothing to do with the cause of my laptop is running slowly. My operating system is Windows 7. The version that is installed on my computer but I don't know how to check the version. I don't know what other information, you may need, but can tell you that I don't download a lot of things like my children and grandchildren do my hard drive is not all clogged with junk.

  • After the recent update of Win7, computer will not remain in hibernation

    After a recent update of Windows (probably to fix something else), my computer refused to stay in hibernation.
    This is a 64 bit machine running Win7 Pro, and he wakes up now randomly after going into hibernation.
    I tried using 'powercfg' to see what is wake it up - no result.
    I tried to use 'powercfg' to deny the mouse and network which apparently have permission to wake up-no result.
    I unplugged the mouse in case there is a vibration of the earthquakes to chance - no result
    I unplugged the cable to the router in case there is a stray signal from on the internet - no result
    I went into the "Network properties" window and turned off all the "wake up" properties - no result.
    I looked at similar questions on this forum and checked "of performance issues" in the Panel as not advised - no problems to report.

    OK - what makes the Microsoft with a recent update to cause this problem and when they're going to cancel it?

  • Capacity lost to bookmark pages after recent updates

    Firefox has been working great until recent updates of the version 39.

    I have now lost my ability to bookmark a page. When I click on the star icon as I always got it, the Star turns bright blue and gives the appearance that the bookmark is transferred - or "thrown in"-the bookmark icon. But page never appears anywhere in my favorites.

    Before when I clicked on the star, I've always had a box that would allow me to change the name I wanted the bookmark for the name of the bookmark and the Bookmark menu different locations I could choose as to where I wanted to go. Now I don't get any box.

    I know this must be a consequence of the recent update changes and not something in my computer because I have never had this simulation to "launch" the bookmark before. Or the brilliant blue star.

    OK, try clicking on default settings, as shown - controls customize Firefox, buttons, and toolbars.

    If it doesn't it try Mode without failure of Firefox to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily disables hardware acceleration, restores some settings and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).

    If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

    • Click the menu button

      click Help

      then select restart with disabled modules.

    If Firefox does not work, you can start Firefox in Mode safe as follows:

    • On Windows: Hold down the SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
    • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
      (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

    When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

    If the problem is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps described in the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    If still no joy, try refresh (called "Reset" in older versions of Firefox) which can resolve many issues by restoring Firefox as his default from factory and save your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.

    Note: When you use this feature, you will lose all the extensions, toolbar customizations, and certain preferences. See article Firefox Refresh - reset modules and parameters for more information.

    Refresh for Firefox:

    1. Open the troubleshooting information page using one of the following methods:

      • Click the menu button

        click Help

    and select troubleshooting information. Should open a new tab containing your troubleshooting information.

  • If you are unable to access the Help menu, type Subject: support in your address bar to bring up the troubleshooting information page.
  • At the top right of the page, you should see a button that says 'Refresh Firefox' ('reset Firefox' in older versions of Firefox). Click on it.
  • Firefox closes. Once the update process is complete, Firefox will display a window with the imported information.
  • Click Finish and reopen Firefox.
  • This corrects the problem? Please report to us!

    Thank you.

  • confused about the want 700-074 update bios - it's for my computer?

    Hi all

    I am a happy owner of a 700-074 HP Envy computer. I have a question about a recent update BIOS I've seen on the software and drivers download page on the main site HP.COM. I frequently check the site for updates of drivers and software.

    The update in question is classified

    Update BIOS HP Compaq consumer desktop PC (SSID family ROM 2AF3)

    Although the ROMA family corresponds to the family on my computer, it lists the update of a HP Compaq computer.

    This BIOS does the 700-074 want system specifically? I guess it's because it it lists to the title of the download page for 700-074 want systems. However, I don't want to patch my BIOS with the update incorrect if it is considered an error.

    Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you!

    Hello @boinc127,

    I understand that you are looking to confirm that the update of the BIOS HP Compaq consumer Desktop PC BIOS Update (2AF3 ROM family SSID) is appropriate for your computer. As far as I can tell it's the update of the correct BIOS for your computer.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
