  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
  Driver update (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right
  Click on - 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 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.

• My version of Windows Media Technologies is not compatible with my Windows Vista. Y at - it an upgrade or a solution to this?

  I'm trying to convert VHS to DVD via my computer. I bought an ACQUISITION VIDEO & AUDIO USB card and I'm having the problem. It is coming that my version of Windows Media Technologies is not compatible with my version of Windows (Vista).

  Hi Als01,

  1. which video application do you use to convert?

  First check if the ACQUISITION VIDEO & AUDIO USB card is compatible with Windows vista by using the Compatibility Center.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-Vista/default.aspx

  If you use any application uninstall and reinstall and check if it works.

  You can also check whether a third-party program is causing the conflict with the application.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista 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.
