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.

Refer to these discussions because many more excellent advice however don't forget to check your antivirus

  • Vista close without warning

    Lately my pc has been randomly close without warning.  It doesn't seem to be compatible on when he decided to "shut down".  I noticed that if I turn it on and just leave, so it seems that the time it takes to turn off is shorter.  But the time intervals are different each time.  If I turn it on and use a heavy application immediately (like Need for Speed) and it remains on 90% of the time without problem.  I tried a number of analyses of virus and so far nothing has much turned upward.  I checked my hardware and all is well.  There is a problem in the windows registry, virus, or vista is just corrupt.

    I am running:

    Original title: how to remove programs from my list of default programs without deleting them from my computer?

    Since I had a rogue software, whenever I open something that I have to choose what kind of program to open it with. But I have two files with the same name (one is the installation of a game and the other the actual game) and I can't select the game to go to the list of default programs, as I already have the installation file! Sorry if this makes no sense. :)

  • My desktop computer Acer Aspire AM1100-B1300A suddenly stops without warning. What is the cause of close?

    I've had the computer alittle more than three years now. He began to close in on its own all recently. I noticed the Tower Gets and still accellerated before turning off.

    Hello

    Accellerated? You don't know how to tell you that?

    Could be heat related - try using a small fan to blow into the air intakes to see if that helps.

    I guess that you had deleted Trojans now?

    Question:
    Is this account that you have problem with an administrator account on ?

    (1) if so, can you create another Admin account?
    So yes even once, when you have a new Admin account, connect to it. Use this new administrator and DELETE the former admin.

    (2) if the answer is no and that it's only a user account, then it's even more simple.
    Login to your Admin account, remove this user account.
