  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 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.

• Windows Explorer crashes when the click with the right button on folders

  My Windows Explorer crashes whenever I right click on a folder, any folder.  It is for me a "Windows Explorer has stopped working" then it gives me a warning 'Windows restarts.  Then he closes my Explorer window.  I tried many things to see if that would help and nothing has done so far.  Anyone has any suggestions on how to solve this problem or knows what could be the problem?

  You probably don't want to disable one at a time.  Try groups of 20 or 30 at a time.  I'm not sure you need restart between trials.  Some extensions of the sample I tested were immediately disabled and right click on a file did not show the options for this extension.  It wouldn't surprise me that you will not be able to disable each extension.  Work with those that you can and see if something helps you.  Look in the 'File name' column and suspect that any file that begins with "------" or a drive letter that does not correspond to a hard drive on your system.

  If you do not want to use RegScanner, do the same with Regedit.  Run Regedit (start-> Run-> 'regedit'), simple click on 'My Computer' to select it, make an edition-> find, enter your------the field search and click "next".  It stops at the next occurrence.  Press the F3 key to find the one that follows after that.  I think you will find that there are many references to '-', some occurring in places that you probably want to touch.  Unless you know what you're doing, editing the registry can be dangerous.  Always back up the registry first before making any changes.

• Explorer crashes when right click on a drive letter

  I use windows 7. I have 2 ssd drives and a HARD drive. I alos have DRUNK drives on USB ports. Whenever I right-click a drive to see how much free space there is on the disc, the Explorer locks and indicates his tent to find a solution to the problem and then restart Explorer. I really need a way to see how much free space on the disks.

  Thank you

  Moved from feedback

  Hi Beakbryce,

  Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community forums.

  I see from the description of the problem that you are unable to check how much free space there are on a drive and an Explorer Windows locks when you try to check the same.

  I imagine the inconvenience that you are experiencing. We are here to help and guide you in the right direction.

  To provide the proper resolution, that I would need more information on your side.

  1. do you receive any error messages?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer before this problem?

  This behavior can occur if the there is a conflict between third-party applications, or if there is no corrupted system file.

  Method 1:
  Let's start with the computer in Mode safe start to check if the problem occurs in Mode without failure. If the problem does not occur in Mode safe, then you can try to set up your computer in a clean boot state to find what startup item or service is causing the problem.

  Step 1:
  To restart in Safe Mode follow the steps.

  Startup options (including safe mode)

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/advanced-startup-options-including-safe-mode

  If the problem does not occur in Mode safe mode, and then try to perform the clean boot.

  Step 2:
  To perform Clean boot follow the procedure below.

  By setting your boot system minimum state helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem.

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

  Note: After the boot minimum troubleshooting step, follow the "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" section in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.

  Method 2:
  If the problem persists, I suggest that you run SFC [System File Checker] scan on the computer that could scan all protected files to verify their versions to verify if there is any changes made to the files and if there is no corrupt files. And will replace them with the correct version.

• Windows explore crashes on right-click

  Whenever I do a right click on a file in Windows Explorer, I get a message that Windows Explorer has stopped working and then it shut downto the office.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium on a gateway GT5228. It has 2 GB of ram and unused 140 GB hard disk.  I've been running Vista for about a year and the problem just started a week ago.  I hope someone has a suggestion because at the moment I can't delete or rename anything.  I ran a software antivirus and anti spyware and found nothing.  Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

• Lots of windows cmd appear when right-clicking!

  So, recently, I was using my computer very well. I went in a folder of mine and right click on it, to create another. Then, against all odds, lots of windows command prompt open for a split second then closed. This also occurs when a right click on the desktop.  They make it impossible for me to do many tasks, such as going to the properties of a file, because they deselect files when they open.

  I really need help - because of this problem, I can not work properly!

  Hello! Thank you for your answer!

  I tried the 1st and 2nd method that you asked me. However, the problem persists after you run the two. Do you have other help that you could give me?

  Also, I should probably mention that I recently installed a program (GitHub) that messes with the context menu, adding additional options of its own. Maybe that has something to do with my problem?

  -UPDATE: I have unninstalled the program mentioned, and the problem is now gone! Sorry for wasting your time looking for such a simple response. Thanks anyway!

• Explorer Windows dies when right-clicking on a file or a drive-even in safe mode

  I can right click on the files without any problems, but if I click on a folder or a drive, I receive an error message and the windows Explorer closes.  This happens even when I start in safe mode.   I also ran my antivirus software and it found nothing.

  Sounds like windows explore has been corrupted?  I can reinstall it without having to reinstall the entire operating system?

  In case anyone else has this problem, I'm letting you know how the problem was solved.  I used the previous restore point and windows Explorer now works as it should.   I had updated to the latest version of Spybot, just before that the problem occurred.  I will try to update Spybot to see if the problem comes back. ;

  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 sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. 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 make, click 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.

  I hope this helps. Good luck.
