    ===========================================

    Vista and Windows 7 the love of the updated drivers that can drastically affect the performance so I would update the main
    drivers.

    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.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones

  • Taskbar not clickable when I start up.

    I recently restored my computer laptop back to factory settings a few days ago and when I turned it on I couldn't click on anything on the taskbar. I rebooted my laptop to see if it was just a bug, but when he started toward the top this happens again. This happens only when I first start my laptop and not when I wake up from sleep mode. The only way I could make it work again was to alt + ctrl + DELETE and start the task manager then just exit and it still worked. I looked around online and some said to run the System File Checker, so I did, but it did not come with something and I also scanned my laptop for any viruses and it found nothing. It is not a huge problem just annoying I have start the Task Manager and go out just to get my task bar works again.

    I would check the following:

    1. The program has an option to stop from?
    2. Otherwise use Windows Defender to disable: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Stop-a-program-from-running-automatically-when-Windows-starts . If you cannot use Windows Defender because your antivirus turns off, you have to use the Configuration utility system; See: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-System-Configuration and http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Using-System-Configuration

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    -

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type CMD in the search box, right-click on CMD. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    -

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To do that click on start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    When you get your system in good working condition, I invite you to back up your system up to an external hard drive and make it regular periodic updates.

  • My lap top will not start now upward

    I installed the updates using the custom option, including hardware. My lap top now not start. I use Windows XP

    Although your experience seems more severe that much, it is never a good idea to get the hardware from Windows Update updates.

    The best rule on driver updates is: if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    This means that, unless you have a problems with a device that you know will be set with a new or replacement driver or (b) need several new features provided by an updated driver, there is no reason to update your driver.

    Now that I told you what you shouldn't do, let's see if we can get you back to where you were.

    What happens when you try to start the computer?  If you get an error message, what is it (please do not paraphrase)?

    You can start the computer Safe Mode (F8 repeatedly just to tap after turning the power on tests)?

    Do you remember what hardware updates that you have installed?

    If you can start safe mode, log on using an account with computer administrator privileges.  You can use the built-in "Administrator" account (which should show on the homescreen mode without failure).  The default password (if you did not indicate a) is empty (that is, no password).

    If you can connect to an administrator account on the computer in Safe Mode AND you can remember what peripheral hardware (s) that you have installed new drivers for, then use the "Restore drivers" function for devices that you updated.  See
    http://www.TechRepublic.com/article/roll-back-your-drivers-with-Windows-XP/1046827
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/306546

    If you can connect to an administrator in Mode safe account, but you can't remember what hardware updates that you have installed, things are a little more difficult.   Ago that something called 'Safe Mode with network', but Windows Update is not working properly in Mode safe unless you start messing around in the registry, you cannot use this method to return to Windows Update to see your update story and determine what material you updated.

    However, assuming that you have not disabled the system restore, which should have created a Restore Point in the framework of the installation of updates and/or new pilots.  See http://lifehacker.com/193546/geek-to-live--roll-back-windows-with-system-restore
    IF you have made no changes to your system since you installed the updates (especially if you have not installed or uninstalled applications), then log in as a user with privileges "computer administrator" and launch the system restore.  See http://bertk.mvps.org/ Pick Restore Point the most recent that is before installing the hardware updates (drivers).  If you use a Restore Point before installing all the updates of this session, return to Windows Update and update any material 'critical '.

    Note that although you can use Safe Mode system restore, if you do, you can't "undo" restore operation - which is something you can do if you use the restore system in normal mode - so keep that in mind before doing a system restore.
