  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.

• Satellite P10 - sometimes it will not be running

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite P10 (bought in 2004).
  Sometimes it will not be running (no air conditioning, no battery) and sometimes the "Shut down" - the dialogue appears as if I had pressed the power button (really, I have not). Then, he died instantly, and I can't turn it on. Rarely turns without touching the power button a few minutes later.

  First, I assumed that the reason was the envelope, but recently the same problem appears despite the case open.

  Finally, I think that the problem is caused by a defective power controller chip. So, I read that I could at least try it deflexing by a hairdryer. This is why I would like to know where the power controller chip is located on the motherboard and how do I recognize it.

  Thanks in advance!

  Sebastian

  Hello

  [If your notebook won power t on sometimes you check out this article: what steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

  But I think that no one here can tell you where the power controller is replaced and if you can fix it yourself or not. Here he s only one user to user forum and if you have these technical questions should ask a technician for laptop (authorized service provider) for help. Guys have access to all the databases of Toshiba and can order spare parts Toshiba and it would be no problem for the guys to repair the device for you. ;)

• Iexplore.exe runs twice in my task of process manager. How do I know that you close?

  When I turn on the internet, I have an iexplore.exe which uses a lot of memory, more than 200 000 K and one that uses very little of 15, 000 K.  I also seem to have a running explorer.exe.

  Anyone running Windows XP has "explorer.exe" running - it's the office.

  When iexplore.exe is, assuming that you are sure that the two tasks are spelled the same and both are run under the same user account, and then if you have upgraded Internet Explorer to version 8, the reason for the two instances of iexplore.exe is the new browser uses a separate process 'iexplore.exe' for each currently open tab. If you start your browser, you will automatically have two processes, one for the main browser window and one for the first tab.

  Microsoft has implemented this technique in Internet Explorer 8 to accommodate a more effective process to each tab priority. An example would be if you were listening to streaming radio in a tab and the surf in another. The tab that has your focus can and will take precedence over the background tab and cause the radio to cut or even stop. In the new Internet Explorer, each tab has its own procedure that allows equal priority over time CPU and not let not another tab steal the processing time for an another background tab.

  If you don't have IE 8, then you probably have a malware problem.  Download, install, update and run each of these two free scanners.  Do not run both at the same time.  Each will take a while ends, then start it up and then go for a non-it chore.

  Hi Pops1148,

  ·         Is the question not confined with updated Microsoft Office?

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: You can follow the steps in the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base and check if it works.

   

  Troubleshooting Windows Update or Microsoft Update when you are repeatedly offered an update

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/910339

  Method 2: Try the SFC (System File Checker) scan on the computer.

  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:

  a. click Startand type cmd in the box start the search .

  b. right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click run as administrator.

  c. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue

  d. at the command prompt, the following line and press ENTER:

  sfc/scannow

  Reference:

  Description of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 System File Checker (Sfc.exe)

  File system (CFS) Checker

  http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/system_file_checker.mspx?mfr=true

  Method 3: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

   

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

   

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While hard disk analysis if bad sectors are found when scanning try to repair this area, all available on which data can be lost.

  Although it is always possible for malware to masquerade as a legitimate file, HpqPhUnl.exe is related to the HP Photosmart Essential software provided with printers HP all-in-one.

• ExternalInterface sometimes... other local running

  So I develop training on the web that will come eventually in a learning management system. When it is in the LMS, we use ExternalInterface and Javascript to communicate with Flash.

  But sometimes the same course must run locally or publish possibly to a projector.

  I use ExternalInterface.available to check if it is available. If it isn't then there is no ExternalInterface available then clearly there is no LMS communication (light version).

  But the other bits is complicated. When you test locally in the Flash IDE ExternalInterface.available returns the value true, but there is nothing really to interface with.

  Any suggestions on how to know if it actually is javascript to help me to get out and communicate with the LMS?

  Thank you.

  Create a js function that returns something.  If your ExternalInterface.call("saveglobalscore",score) does not return the expected, the swf file is not embedded by a html file.
