The attempt to update Windows to install Reaktek Audio drivers

I have two HP Windows XP SP3 PC that for some time, I could not get Windows Update to install the Realtek audio driver material it is recommended to be installed.  It gets to a point, then asks in a specific location locate a file.  Of course, I don't know why she asked this prompt, so I cancel and can never get the update to load.  What's up with that?  Any help?

Hello

Windows updates is usually only older drivers certified such as this one, MS is far behind the driver certification.
HIDE the update by right-clicking on it and HIDE. Then update your drivers manually and I also would
driver updates - see how and why below.

Here, you want to mainly updated Realtek driver direct from Realtek.

Click on the HD Audio Codec on the right side of this page.

Realtek
http://www.Realtek.com.tw/

-------------------------------------------------------------

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 Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    Updates are closely related to IE.

    Try these and it can also be a good idea to update your main drivers later. The General corruption can also play a
    role in this issue. And even the TCP/IP stack might need to be refreshed.

    What antivirus/antispyware/security products do you have on the machine? Be one you ALREADY had on this
    machine, including those you have uninstalled (they leave leftovers behind which can cause strange problems).

    If no joy there's something blocking perhaps.

    Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - IE with no Addons - what works best?

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Advanced - tab click on restore, and then click Reset - apply / OK

    IE - Tools - Internet Options - Security tab - click on reset all default areas - apply / OK

    Close and restart IE or IE with no addons

    not better?

    IE - tools - manage Addons (for sure disable SSV2 if it is there, it is no longer necessary but Java always install
    "(and it causes problems - you never update Java to go back in and turn it off again)." Search for other possible problems.

    Windows Defender - tools - software explore - look for problems with programs that do not look right. Permit
    are usually OK and "unauthorized" are not always bad. If in doubt about a program to ask about it here.

    Could be that a BHO - BHOremover - free - standalone program, needs no installation, download and run - not all
    are bad, but some can cause your question (toolbars are BHO).

  • A later version of the Apple software update is already installed on this computer.

    Recently, I had a new iPhone 5, so I had saved my old iPhone 4 with iTunes so I could transfer all my information. But when I connected my iPhone 5 it came with this message: "the"Rachel's IPhone"iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes. Go to www.itunes.come to download the latest version of iTunes. " The iPhone 5 is iOS9.2

    So, I went on the website to download iTunes, since this was the 12.1.2 version and should be downloaded 12.3.2, went to do the implementation, then it came with the message: "a later version of the Apple software update is already installed on this computer." So, I tried to uninstall it (after each step on the Apple Support to do) but when I went back to uninstall all apple programs, I could not find "Apple Software Update", it wasn't in my programs...

    I did all the steps anyway, and the same message of "a later version of the Apple software update is already installed on this computer." came after I tried to reinstall iTunes.

    So, I guess my overall question is, what should I do? How can I fix?
    Please answer quickly.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of the programs and features Panel, remove it and then reinstall iTunes.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

    From the F8 Advanced Boot Options menu, were you unable to choose:

    Disable the automatic restart in the event of system failure

    Your system sounds like it restarts to determine what he complains and then someone can help you to repair.

    This is why there is a disable automatic restart on system failure option...

    There is another option in the menu F8 Advance Startup Options:

    Last good Configuration known (your most recent settings that worked)

    I do not think that this will help you, but you can at least say you tried it if someone suggests.

Today, while working on the side of Windows 10 things, I got a notice of pop-up that I should install the update for Boot Camp. So I have two questions actually:

    • (1) was not the latest version of Boot Camp included in the update of El Capitan? and,

  • How to speed up the process of updating after clean install

    original title: updates after a clean install

    I just performed a facility clean my machine that runs Vista Home Basic Edition and is now trying to download all the updates it has had over the past three years (ex-factory).

    However it will slowly (no surprise) and I was wondering is there something I could do to speed up the process.  Currently, I am just by clicking on start - Windows Update and let it download what they want from there.  However I have noticed saying she "Download 80 updates", it installs then say 5 of those, restarts and then says "Download 75 updates"-have I really downloaded updates and then lost 80 them, or he really download only 5?

    I also thought the oldest download first, but I can't seem to find an opption to do this - is - it possible?  It seems just stupid for me to download updates of 2010 before those of 2008 (assuming that's what he does lol!)

    Q

    Start by installing the latest Service Pack (see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935791). You'll have so far fewere updtes to install.

    Also note the following regarding your answer to the question of PA Bear "clean install has been through choice. After 3 years machine has become bloated and slow, and I decided to wipe them fresh, start over and give up unused programs that seemed a good idea at the time. » :

    In my view, it is usually a mistake. With a minimum of care, it should never be necessary to reinstall Windows (Vista or any version). I ran Windows 3.0, 3.1, WFWG 3.11, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 now, each for the period of time before the next release is out and everyone on two or more machines here. I never reinstalled none of them (with one exception--a problem that I worked on for weeks without success), and I've never had anything more than an occasional minor problem.

    It is my belief that this erroneous notion comes from the technical support people in most of the major OEMs. Their solution to almost any problem, for they know not quickly answer is "reformat and reinstall. It is the ideal solution for them. It gets you phone turned off quickly, it almost always works, and it does not need to do any real troubleshooting (a skill that most of them has obviously not in any great degree).

    But it leaves you with all the work and all the problems. You must restore all backups of your data, you must reinstall all of your programs, you must reinstall all Windows and updates of the application, you must locate and install all the necessary drivers for your system, you will need to recustomize Windows and all your applications to work the way you are comfortable with.

    In addition to all these things being long and painful, you may encounter difficulties with some of them: you will find all your CDs application? You will find all the necessary installation codes? You have data backups to restore? You still remember all the customizations and settings that can be installed to make everything work the way you like it? Sometimes there are problems that are so difficult to resolve that Windows has to be reinstalled properly. But they are few and far between; RESETTLEMENT should not be a substitute for troubleshooting; It should be a last resort, to do that once all other troubleshooting by qualified person attempts have failed.

    And perhaps most important: If you reformat and reinstall without knowing what caused your problem, you will most likely repeat the behavior that caused it and quickly find yourself in exactly the same situation.

  • I installed Windows XP & the computer tells me that I have no audio drivers. What should I do?

    I have no sound

    After a clean install of the operating system, you must then install the drivers for all your hardware.

    Never get the drivers from Windows Update. Bring:

    1. site of the device mftr. ; OR
    2. site of the card mother mftr. If the material is on board; OR
    3. website of the OEM manufacturer for your specific machine if you have a PC OEM (HP, Dell, Sony, etc.).

    Read the installation instructions on the Web site where you get the drivers.

    To find out what hardware is in your computer:

    1. read all documentation that you got when you purchased the computer.
    2. If the computer is OEM, access the site Web of the OEM for your specific model machine and look at the specs (you'll be there to get the drivers anyway)
    3. download, install and run a program of inventory of the free system like Belarc Advisor or System Information for Windows.
