    I would also check the updates for your video card driver. Find the latest Windows Vista drivers for your specific computer model with the support site for your computer manufacturer. Be sure to get the right drivers for your specific version of Windows Vista, for example, 32-bit or 64-bit.

    If your mouse is a USB model, it can be useful to check the latest drivers for your motherboard (chipset) Vista to the support site for the manufacturer of the computer. Also, since you're here you can check for the other updated drivers for your system, i.e., audio, LAN (network), etc.

    If you have the graphics card Intel integrated, you can check on the website below:

    Update utility graphics card Driver Intel

    If you have not done so, see the support site of the manufacturer of the mouse for the Vista updated drivers, known issues with your specific models or known solutions.

    To perform a more complete test is the use of Memtest86 but is more complex, includes the creation of a CD bootable for the test, it is not really something for difficult burn an .iso file downloaded to a blank disc (available in the free download link) and then boot from the CD.

  • I use Windows XP Dell computer - I downloaded some drivers and now my monitor won't work, but thesystem is running in the background. How can I get my monitor appears again?

    Hello

    I recently downloaded some drivers using the software "Drivermax" and in doing so, I restarted my computer Dell Windows XP, whom he treated and Startup logo XP deleted monitor on me but the system is still running. There no display no matter what he went completely empty on me. I tried restarting several times more and it begins as bright until properly on newspaper and he then he goes empty dark again on me. I tried the BIOS setting, but nothing happens... I believe that I have installed the drivers screwed something... I well surly need help here.

    Thank you
    Dave

    I gave it try but without success. No idea how to install the driver in safe mode

    You could use the system restore and roll back to a point just before that you have installed the drivers.

    A little advice about these utilities "update Driver", ditch just them!  Basically, they cause more harm than good, and some of them are dangerous simple!  You don't need those utilities and nine times out of ten people update their drivers for no other reason that they think that the new drivers are better than work perfectly those they already have.

    With the help of MS Config is always a good option, but you must be sure of what you are doing here because there are number of programs and services that are running,

    If you want to think easy and simple, you can use windows defender if you don't have the program, you can download it here

    After you install windows defender

    You can open to Defender

    You can also use this program to disable other programs you don't want to start when loading/starting allow your computer startup and load faster.

  • How can I find which program works in the background

    Using the CPU meter, I see the procent of the CPU usage. Even though all programs are closed, the use is still 10 to 30%. This means that some of the programs installed is still running (perhaps updating auto or something else). I'm looking for who is he?

  • How can I remove the bookmarks that are no longer used.

    I have a list of bookmarks on firefox. Many are more used.
    How can I remove the individual bookmarls of my list.
    Tried to highlight and delete them, but that does not work...

    You can right click and delete, select and use the key "Delete", or remove
    multiple bookmark click to the left of the favorite icon, and then add more with "Ctrl + click"
    or spread with "Shift + click" then delete.

    You can remove bookmarks as described for the deletion of history in

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Viewing_the_browsing_history_-_Firefox#Selecting_history_items

    The reference to bookmarks won't in the details, because it is in the article above.

    http://KB.mozillazine.org/Sorting_and_rearranging_bookmarks_-_Firefox

    You will be perhaps easier to delete bookmarks you don't want in the list of the bookmarks library. As noted in the article to bookmark sorting you can view and sort by additional columns, I recommend installing the extension "Show Parent Folder" link is in the article to bookmark, unfortunately that you can add the column is not sortable, but it provides valuable information.

  • How do I know what programs run in background

    HelloW

    I want to know if there is a way by which we can know what the programs running in the background that use the network

    Help, please

    There are specialized tools that can help you, it depends on what you want or need to do.

    But freebies in Windows 7 are "msconfig" and "task manager".

    in "search programs and files" type "msconfig" (without quotes) press key.

    In the system configuration window that opens, look in the tab. This will give a list of a few programs that will be launched at startup.

    In addition, in msconfig, click the tab and click on "resource monitor" then . In the resource monitor, click the tab to give an idea of what programs are using your network interface.

    Right-click your taskbar, and then click "start Task Manager". Look in and , to get an idea of what is running. By default your user process list, then click "Show processes from all users" in the process to see extra tab.

    More information - msconfig - http://www.netsquirrel.com/msconfig/msconfig_win7.html

    -Task Manager - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Task_Manager

    NOTE: But you don't only things "willy nilly", you need to understand what service/process done what before you start or stop anything.

    The less you have to run all the time, most things you want to run will perform:

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in. Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.) You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.
