    Hi Roger P.

    ·         When the issue started?

    ·         Remember to make any hardware or software comes to the computer before this problem?

    ·         What antivirus application is installed on your computer?

    Method 1:

    You can try to run a SFC scan and check.

    This problem may occur if a system file is missing or damaged.

    You can refer to the method-the System File Checker tool in the following article:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    I suggest you to follow these steps and check if that helps.

  • Windows Mail no longer works and I get a pop up window telling me that it has stopped working.

    Thank you Jacquie

    original title: Windows Mail has stopped working

    There are extreme measures you can take.  One is either movement store the content of the message to another directory and WinMail starts it will be a clean message store (or you can simply rename the directory from the old Windows Mail message store and then create a new directory named Windows Mail which will begin to empty).  The other is to back up the registry key to Winmail (see www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm) and then remove it and then start WinMail and who must rebuild the registry key.  The first allows to compensate for a corrupt message store (you can use the file |) Import | Messages into the plu message store you renamed) and the second allows to compensate for a corrupted under the WinMail key registry hive.  I suspect the first manoeuvre will fix the problem, but I don't know.

    But those who are basically last stations.  I would like to save things before you do anything that anyone else.

  • Display driver igfx has stopped working and recovered

    While playing the sims 3 the screen goes usually black then back to the game. then it goes black again and the game will continue once again, the screen is much darker. the darkness of the screen comes and goes and seems to pass the game of light to dark. Sometimes my computer just hangs. After I quit the game, a message appears saying: "display driver igfx has stopped working and recovered." What should I do to stop these pranks of the screen?

    Floop51,
    Take a look at this post: what to post in the forum games and then give us the details of your system and the operating system.   Given that this error is indicating your graphics card you can uninstall\reinstall the most recent driver.  Then clean restart your system and test.  Check the specifications of your video against the requirements of the game card.  If your card is at the very least, you may need to lower the resolution of the game.
    You can also check with the support of The Sims .

    Hello

    1 have had any changes made to your computer before this problem?

    I suggest you try the methods mentioned below and check if it helps:

     

    Method 1:

    You can also scan your computer 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.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Hope this information is useful.

    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.

    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.

  • Aero in Windows has stopped working

    I am running Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2. Aero in Windows has stopped working. When this happened once before going to the control panel > change the color scheme and selected Windows Aero, but now this option is not listed. Checked the help and as advised checked my screen resolution and I saw 32-bit color, the verified value Advanced Configuration monitor and I saw this refresh rate is 60 Hz. Then forums got advice to run sfc/scannow and it came back and told me to Resource Protection Windows did not find any breach of integrity. Finally, taking advice to check that the graphics card by going to Device Manager but no device had anything by them which suggests that they do not work.
