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.

  • Windows Vista starts - Windows error message does not close properly

    Whenever I turn on my computer, I get a message that Windows did not close properly, even though I know that I went through the correct procedure when stopping down.  It started only in the last days.  I did not change my machine or installed / uninstalled something.

    Restore point:

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     

    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.

  • APEX 5.0EA2 - Modal form does not close properly

    I have a master/detail form (detail lines are in a table). The part of the details pane, in turn, calls a modal form that allows you to edit the detail data. The modal form launches correctly and I can see the information it contains, with the right number of areas. The problem is when I use the buttons on the modal form to cancel or apply changes. It is supposed to go back to my original master/detail page. The weird part is that when I press one of the buttons in the modal window... all content in the window disappears... but the modal window itself remains visible on the screen. I have to press 'X' to close the modal window to return to my master-detail form. If this is supposed to be how it works, I find the very strange feature. You would think that if I am applying changes and/or cancellations out of the window that should clearly not only the content in this form, but it should also get rid of the window entirely. I don't think you should have to use the button cancel then turn around and press the "X" to close the modal window.

    I realize that some people would want to perform different functions within these modal windows, but it seems to me that when you perform an action such as the application of the amendments or by using the Cancel button, that you would like to close the window completely and take you from you. There may be a way to physically close the window (IE via javascript) so if anyone has any good ideas on how to do this, please let me know.

    After doing some reading, it turns out be the guy behind the keyboard. Apparently, there is a process of dialogue that should be used and this will be what I was looking for.

  • Widespread problem "Firefox is already running" suggests it does not close properly - is Mozilla solve this?

    Several people including me have reported a problem when closing Firefox and then try to re - open. The message "FF is already running and should be closed... ' appears, but the taskbar does not display an active FF. At this point, it is necessary to use the Task Manager to close the old term.
    1 this not always the case on my computer has started recently.
    2. most of the time that it is indeed possible to open multiple versions of FF without difficulty. This problem only seems to happen if I close the first session and then immediately try to open a new.
    So my question is what causes this, not what workaround to usable solution when it occurs.

    1 both of these problems (ending to Firefox and restart) are a response

    http://dmcritchie.MVPs.org/Firefox/Firefox-problems.htm#close_firefox

    2. multiple versions of Firefox you have to use -no-remote on your combination of browser/profile not by default. Which cannot be by chance, so either you messed up in start parameters, or you didn't never have multiple versions of firefox running at the same time.

    Please mark "resolved" a response that will better help others with a similar problem - hope it was her.

  • TestStand Simple OI does not close properly

    Hello.

    We need to build a test system that runs TestStand 4.2 and code modules are created with LabVIEW 9.0. The SW is running on a PC with Windows XP.

    We currently use TestStand Simple (LabVIEW version) User Interface to run the tests, and with the Interface of the operator we have a problem.

    If we use the file TestExec.exe provided with the installation of TestStand, everything works fine. But we need to make some modifications to OI and if we open the project file, and then recompile the IO, then the IO does not properly close. It seems the execution testengine stop and stop the VI, but the window doesn't go away until move us the mouse.

    When I open the LabVIEW project file informs me that the project was saved last version 7.1.1 and we now run 9.0.

    Can someone tell me what is now the window on the screen until there is activity on the mouse?

    I found a solution.

    But I'm still a little bit frustrated because I have no idea why it works...

    Anyway, if I open the vi for the OI Simple properties, go to execution and change the enforcement system preferred UI Standard, then the problem goes away.

    In this case, I suggest to perform a refresh and then upgrade to Windows 8.1 Windows 8.

    It will solve the problems on Windows 8 as well as help us to upgrade to Windows 8.1 without any problems on Windows 8.

    1. You have a Windows 8 installation or recovery media?
    2. When you say you have a product key, it is for the 8.1 Windows or Windows 8?

    If you don't have a Windows 8 media, you can always create one by using the product key for Windows 8. Check out the link to do so:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media

    Note: you will need the product key for Windows 8 Pro to create media.

    To perform a refresh, refer to:

    See the section ""Rrefresh your PC without affecting your files".

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

    Note: Apps you have installed Web sites and DVD will be deleted. Your PC apps and the apps you installed from the Windows store will be resettled. Windows puts a list of apps removed on your desktop after you refresh your PC

    To upgrade to 8.1 Windows, refer to:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-CA/Windows-8/update-from-Windows-8-tutorial
