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.htmlFor 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.

Re-installing Dell inspiron 19 has windows 7
People,
I have a Dell Inspiron 19. The Dell of Dell diagnostics disk utilities & drivers say all right. It is a Seagate 320 GB drive. I installed the drive on another computer and used sea tools to erase the disc. Then I created a partition and marked as "bootable".
When I try to use the Dell reinstallation DVD Windows 7 Home premium SP1 64-bit, it crashes when is about to display the windows logo. A few pixels logo show and then it's there. Any ideas? I worked on it for several days. Really a "stumper" for me and I did something like that for years!
Original problem seems to be a massive viral infection (owner had no active antivirus software installation!) which led to the non-bootable computer. After working on this for a while, I decided to just do again it.

Is there anywhere I can look to see what is running or happening when my PC crashes?
BACKGROUND:
My PC has been freezing more frequently lately.
It seems to happen more often when I am on battery, usually when I am online using Firefox my default browser.
I tried checking the event viewer, but did not find much, and do not know, I am interested in the right part.
I can say without a doubt it happens when it is on battery power, almost never when it is plugged.
In addition, it seems to happen more frequently when I use Firefox, but then I'm usually just surf when I'm on battery. When I don't really work, I tend to sit at a desk and connect.
Here are my specs:
Product number: XG871UA
OS: Windows Home Premium Service Pack 1
Browser: Firefox Chrome for the most part, other times
I'm starting to capture when / where it happens the more frequntly in a strive to locate the problem.
I'll try to turn off Firefox addins / extensions as a first step, but would like any other tips.
Thank you!
IanI did a quick check this week, surfing on the battery while using Firefox, I fell two times. Once run it normally, first with all add-ons disabled.
When I switched to Chrome I had any problems.
I'll close this and call it a problem of Firefox, I'll open a new ticket if it appears elsewhere.
But I'll check the both battery test.
Thank you!

Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery
Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery
When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootupAny suggestions?
PS:
also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?
Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair -

Let's define "overheating". If the temperature of the phone reached a dangerous level the phone turns off it to cool down. This phenomenon occur? If this is not the case it is not overheated.
What is your cell signal? If the signal is low, the phone must increase its power to maintain a connection. This may require as much as 10 times the energy as a strong signal, and the phone gets hot under these conditions. If will also drain the battery very quickly.

Performance laptop has nothing to do with food but with parameters.
I don't know what operating system you use, but if you have Vista, you can switch between the different profiles and each of them has different performance level.
If you use it for normal work set for the balanced profile. If you require full performance of high power Performance set plan.You can remove the battery and continue using your laptop as usual.

Different when using different reading software
I use NI9205 and NI DAQ 9171USB, a battery and a DC output have been wired to NI9205.
However, when using MAX (the creat task function), express Signal or a program, I created using DAQmx functions to get the output voltage,
I got different readings for the same channel (20-50% of variation). and it turned out that only the readings of my own program are the same as what I measured with a portable meter,.
Really do not understand how this could be possible? What's wrong with the MAX and the Signal Express?
BTW, I made sure I put the connection method to be CSR in all three cases.
Entrance to anyone who will be greatly appreciated.
Problem solved. Everything is fine with the DAQ platforms

My slider controls when using Excel and Publisher became too sensitive
My slider controls when using Excel and Publisher have become too sensitive and more often, don't do what it is that I'm willing to do. For example: while in Publisher if I click on a photo, that I've inserted, and try to move it, it will automatically open the Format Picture option. She does it with a number of other features as well. If I'm in Excel and I'm trying to highlight a phrase, it will begin to highlight the requested sentence, then the middle of it will stop after the sense that I'm going with my cursor and it will pass at the end of the sentence. I guess you could say this kind of "jump" and the mouse became too sensitive with the controls. It's really frustrating and it feels like it has a mind of its own. At first, I thought maybe a low battery mouse, because she was the way she does when the battery is dying. Changed the battery and no change. I also tried to set my mouse speed and still nothing.
Any ideas?
Oh and btw this just started to happen during the first 4 to 6 months.
Hi H.Morton,
1. the problem occurs with excel and publisher?
2. what operating system do you use?
3. did you uninstall and reinstall the mouse drivers?
4. have you tried with another mouse and check?
5. do the mouse has a selection of sensitivity on the mouse itself?I suggest you to update the mouse drivers and see if that helps.

Laptop G60-549DX (with OS Windows7-problem with the microphone when using Skype)
Just bought a laptop G-60-549DX. His mic is BAD. Voice of cuts to when using Skype. Help!
I was able to solve the problem with the microphone on the G60-549DX when using Skype. I spend up to 6-8 hours, talk with convenience stores of HP. They were very friendly and helpful. The same help a friend. My friend downloaded updated bios and micro drivers. HP technician asked me to turn off the laptop, then remove the battery, unplug the power cord. With battery removed and stop, I pressed the market / off power button for a good minute evacuate remaining power into the computer. When I restarted the laptop I micro worked. I did a little more fine-tuning of the installation of the microphone. Now, it works well on Skype and sound recorder. I won't take this back within the 14 days return policy. It's a good computer I can say. The technicians were all very friendly and helpful. They called me several times to check to see if it still works OK! They are HUGE! They want to help with any other question, I have perhaps with the computer. Thank you very much for the help. Everyone was SO helpful.

When you type text, cursor jumps suddenly to a point in the text already entered. Use Ctrl Z to recover. How to stop this?
I use Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron.
I recently did a "clean boot" who has cured a problem of high CPU usage, but left me this cursor jumping problem. I have to look at the screen as I type to be aware of these breaks that often occur at random.
Hello Malcolm,
Yours is a laptop? If so, you're probably brushing the touchpad with your Palm or fingers. The easiest way around this problem is with an external mouse with touchpad disabled. To disable the touchpad go to control panel, Manager of devices and look under the mouse or HID for her. Then, right-click on it and select Disable (not uninstall - it will reinstall itself only if you do).
You can also connect an external mouse and select the option for Notification of Touchpad to disable the touchpad when an external mouse is present. This setting can be found in the mouse properties dialog.
Let me know if this solves the problem for you.
Kind regards
