  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:

  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.

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

• Son of anarchy BD Discs will not play on BDX4400 (black screen)

  Hello world!
  Just wondering if anyone can help with the following: I had some problems with the blu - Ray of the BDX4400 player (remote works do not, the reaction is slow, frozen Portal etc.) for awhile, but it was ok with playing DVDs / blu - ray... Up to our days. I come from the Sons of Anarchy box, insert the first disk, and then the screen goes black.

  You can hear the disc turning for a few seconds and the play icon appears but then it's all... Just a black screen and you can't even eject the disc (remote not working do not when it is at this point).
  I tried other discs of this set, but the same thing happens. However, the other DVD / Blu - Ray work. Therefore, I am sure that the player is fine, but maybe im missing a parameter that must be changed...?
  Someone had a similar problem? (I disabled the internet connections and the bd-live function, but not luck)

  The region code is correct and FW is up to date, so this may not be the root of the problem, if all fails, I may have to blame the actual discs, but I have trouble believing that 15 discs are damaged...

  Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions, which would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  It is always a stupid situation if everything works perfectly, but not with some discs/disc.
  In case your player works well with the other BR disks that the problem must be with the disks you have.

  Is there a possibility to test the disks on a few other BDplayer?
  You laptop / PC with BD optical drive? Can test you?

  To be honest, what is unclear to me that something can be changed (settings) in this case. Either it works or not.

  I had an error in the windows Explorer and windows shows just a black screen.  I am able to open the Task Manager, open the switch user option, etc. After doing ctrl + alt + delete.  Windows does not continue on the desktop. I can't open internet explore via the Task Manager run special command (or go to websites like microsoft support).  The start bar too is not available and no desktop icons appear.  It looks like a problem with a MSWin update.  Help, please.

  I use Windows 6 6002 SP2 on a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 1 M 5.  Thank you

  Hello islem.

  1. what was the error message from Windows explore, that you have received?

  2 did you recently install Windows updates on the computer?

  3. do you have security software installed on the computer?

  Check if you can access the desktop by typing explorer.exe using the Task Manager.

  If you are able to access the desktop, then I suggest that you perform the clean boot procedure and check if it helps.

  If you are unable to access the desktop then boot in safe mode then run clean boot.

  Start your computer in safe mode

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

  Restart the computer to return to normal mode.

  Try the steps below to perform the clean boot on the computer.

  It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  clint341,
  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Answers forum.  We cannot guide you more precisely by changing the BIOS settings that the BIOS settings are specific to your motherboard.  However, most (if not all) parameters of the BIOS have an option to restore the default BIOS (sometimes called "default opitimized").  It may be an option in the menu that you highlight, then press enter or it can be assigned to an F key and States at the bottom of the screen, press F? for the default settings.  I hope this helps.  If you are still not able to reset, check with the manufacturer of PC for more information about the BIOS.

  Ideas:

  • Programs that you have problems with Windows XP
  • Error messages

  Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Hello tfortexas

  Do you get the login screen before the black screen?    You never even get to the desktop?

  Try this fix.  You will need an XP installation CD.  If you don't have that it is OK to borrow one.  Try to get the same version of XP as your example Home/Pro/Media

  Configure your PC to boot from the CD if it is not already configured in this way. You may need to enter the BIOS to configure the PC to boot from the CD.

  Set the boot order of

  Floppy (if present)

  CDROM

  Hard drive

  RECORDING and EXIT

  Start your PC with the XP installation CD in the drive. When you see the prompt «Press any key to boot from CD...» ", do and start the process to boot on CD.

  When the Recovery Console option is available ("press R to start the Recovery Console"), do it. You may be asked to what Windows installation to enter, what kind of cases the number of the Windows installation you want to work (usually ' 1').

  When you are prompted, enter the password for the Windows installation. If you have not set up a password just press ENTER

  At the command prompt, type

  FIXMBR

  Come in

  Then type

  Fixboot

  Come in

  Type
