  Nothing worked and I'm pulling my hair out.  I use WMC with an HDHomeRun and a map of Time Warner cable.  This facility worked well for more than a year before installing this update.  The machine is a Dell XPS 8300 running windows 7 SP1.   I'm unable to watch all channels protected by DRM and I lost all my legally registered content.  It is a disaster and cost me 30 hours and counting.  Anyone have any ideas?

• Device Version Manager: 6.1.7600.16385 presenting no matter what devices or Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit drivers? This has already been answered? If you don't see it you can check or update all drivers.

  14/07/13

  Whenever the device driver is selected there is just a blank page that appears. There are no announcements of any drivers anywhere, or visible by any way within Windows 7 Home Premium. For this reason there is no way to check on all the drivers or the parts of the system to see if there is no system conflicts.  I have a driver repair program that when search enabled for and comes with a list of drivers on the computer and indicates the factors that bear on a date and will go through the steps to change but since I have no way to see the driver manager or it's poster so I can't say if something is changed.

  If I have something again plug it into a USB Port, the computer recognizes that something has been plugged, but that it will not open the directory automatically, as it used to do.  For example if I put in a CD or a DVD that has auto start it won't, so it's just sitting there. If I use Windows Explorer and click computer directory will show a device for example: DVD has a DVD named such and so in the drawer.

  Plug-and-Play is selected and activated, but it seems that it does not work.  If I plug a USB key into the USB (any USB port) it sometimes it indicates with a beep or a pop-up window indicating something was plugged or removed as the case may be.

  If this file has been deleted, if it is to cause such a thing?  This computer (gateway) has a grounded partition which has a restore works however it resets all default settings etc. or can erase all files.  If there is a way to download the missing files, which makes Driver Manager do its thing, it would be a good thing. Any suggestions?

  22/07/2013

  Thank you for your suggestions. They were a good start, I followed everything as suggested, but nothing helped.

  1. as to the question was just a new program installed before this problem?  The answer could be Yes. But unknown to you, because I can't be sure of the effective date of what's going on.

  I tried to go back, at an earlier date, but it did not help.

  2. for Plug and Play - he already is set to Auto and is active, but it is grayed out and I can't change it. So it turns out that I'm locked somehow. Even if I am put as an administrator.

  3. I went into the registry and everything what you suggested is already there.

  4. the problem still exists.

  Always looking for HELP

  DwBent

  Hi DwBent,

  I would be grateful if you could answer the following question:

  Were there any software or hardware changes made on the computer before this problem?

  This can cause if the Plug and Play service is disabled (disabled people); I suggest you follow the troubleshooting steps and check if it helps;

  Method 1:

  To resolve this problem, set the startup type for Plug-and-Play on automatic. To do this, follow these steps:

  (a) click Start, click run, type services.msc, and then click OK.

  (b) double click on Plug-and-Play. If you receive a Configuration Manager message, click OK.

  (c) in the Startup Type list, click Automatic, and then click OK.

  (d) Community Services.

  (e) restart the computer.

  Method 2: The other reason, Device Manager may be empty is because there are some security issues with the registry key.

  Warning: Important this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

  Back up the registry

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

  (a) go to "Start", click "run", type "regedt32" and press enter.

  (b) expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" window

  (c) scroll down to "SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum".

  (d) with 'Enum' selected, click on "security", "Permissions" menu

  Note: At this point, you'll probably notice that there are no permissions on this key.

  (e) click on 'Add'.

  (f) add the group "everyone" and the "SYSTEM" user.

  (g) select "everyone" and check the "read" ONLY!

  (h) select 'SYSTEM' and check the 'total control'.

  (i) click on the button "Advanced" at the bottom of the window.

  (j) on the control of the Advanced window "Reset permissions on all child objects... »

  (k) click on 'OK'.

  (l) in the warning window click "Yes."

  (m) to close the registry editor and check with the question.

  Here is some other information about the Windows updates for you, I put in place some time and which you may find useful if you are having problems with Windows updates:

  Microsoft gives sometimes you updates for the 3rd party hardware: graphics, network cards, etc.

  You must only obtain the latest drivers for them to the site of the real hardware manufacturer, like Microsoft normally does not have these latest drivers available as Microsoft invokes the material part 3rd RTOS provide.

  But unfortunately, the only way to know which is the update of the problem is to install them one by one, until you find the 'wrong' for your installation.

  You can do a system restore to get back until it has been installed (which is NOT the best way to remove an update) or follow this method:

  'Remove an update'

  Or the other of these two update settings will give you the chance to see what you want to install through Windows updates;

  Download updates but let me choose whether to install them - if you select this option, Windows will download the updates on your computer, but not install them automatically. If you want to install updates, then you must install them manually. You should only select this option if you have a reason to not install updates automatically. Only advanced users should use this option.

  Check for updates but let me choose whether to download and install them - if you select this option, you'll be alerted when there are new updates available for download and install. You can then choose to download and install the updates that you want. This option should really be reserved for people who know exactly which updates they need, or those who have little access to the Internet.

  But remember you normally only have problems with hardware 3rd party drivers. Other updates are to improve the Performance and security of your system

• HP does not provide drivers specifically for windows 7 Home premium. He only offeres drivers for Windows 7

  Hi, I have just formatated my pc and when I go to the hp page I find dident driveres for justo homepremium x 64 for windows 7 and windows vista... my windows 7 Home premium, I had when I buy my pc...

  What can I do if I can find the drivers for homepremium o I just download for windows 7 or vista?

  Original title: windows 7 x 64 homepremium

  Hi Enrique.

  Thanks for your post on this forum.

  Ideally, most computer manufacturers provide drivers independently different editions of a Windows operating system. This means that the same driver can be used for the operating system Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 ultimate and Windows 7 Enterprise, regardless of their editing.

  The only thing you need to check is that it corresponds to the architecture of the operating system (32-bit or 64-bit).

  If you use a 64-bit operating system, make sure that you install 64-bit drivers and for the operating system 32-bit, only 32-bit drivers must be installed.

  In your case, HP provides the drivers for Windows 7 operating system, and it can be installed on the computer regardless of the different editions of the same operating system. But please make sure that it matches the architecture of the operating system.

  Hope it will be useful. Please get back to us if you need help with this query.

  whenever I start my PC, I lose it a file. It all started after a microsoft on seven 21 update.

I then turned off automatically updated and not to do one and it restarted ok once or twice, then he started again without updating

Make sure disk is inserted correctly, or that you are connected to the internet or your network, and then try again. If still cannot be found the information could have been moved to another location

  If I lose my office as well as my anti-virus gives me an error and my slow short mouse.
