the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
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 there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
you have.Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
Site of the manufacturer 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 are
installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR

Original title: Signature Collision?
I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.
Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision
Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).
I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

Don't click Desktop error "Windows explore does not work.
Original title: Do not click on the desktop.
My desktop computer has worked fine and now all of a sudden I am unable to click anywhere on the desktop. I am running windows 7 64 bit. If I click on the desktop, it will be then to come crash with the message Windows explores does not work then he'll recover. Other differences is that all desktop backgrounds are brighter and it disappears once it restarts, but returned about 5 seconds later. That I can not click once again. Are there any suggestions? I tried to start clean and had no success?
Hi Nicolas,.
I appreciate your efforts to solve the problem.
I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.
Error: Windows Explorer has stopped working
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2694911/en-usNote:
1) data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means there is a risk of data loss.2) after the boot minimum troubleshooting step, read the sections "How to reset the computer to start as usual after a clean boot troubleshooting" in the link provided to return the computer to a Normal startup mode.
3) when you do the system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, programs and updates that you have installed are removed.
4) note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.
Hope this information helps. Answer the post with an up-to-date issue report to help you further.

Yes, easy to replace the HARD drive.

Windows Explorer does not and sound problems
I'm running Vista (home edition) on a laptop and I'm having problems with my windows Explorer. The other day it was working fine and I have updated to service pack 2, after he installed my computer went crazy! My exporer windows keeps "not responding" and whenever he "closed the program" my office went nuts it shows not all of the icons (on my desktop) until I raised the Task Manager and the taskbar kept resetting itself to I don't know what. I would go in the taskbar properties and sometimes he let me check the power, network and sound icons and sometimes it would be grey so I could not. I uninstalled the update and it seems to work very well a bit, windows Explorer still fails sometimes well. What is really bugging me, is that a previous update messed with my sound, so sometimes I have to go into the Device Manager and disable then enable the sound to get it back (the driver is up-to-date). But sometimes the Explorer is not responding so I feel like I'm going in circles! The other problem is that after installing service pack 2 is my computer guard with "unexpected cases" and it still occurs even after uninstalling service pack 2. Does anyone have any ideas what the hell is happening? I ran all my software, adware, spyware viruses and everything else so I know that my computer is clean. It is service pack 2 or is it my computer? Also, I have an idea of what I'm doing, so I'm not a complete fool. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I don't have my 5 cups of coffee yet this morning.

Hello
You did changes to the computer before the show?
Method 1: Safe Mode and clean boot
Check if the problem persists in safe mode. If the problem persists not in safe mode and check if the problem persists in the boot.
Step 1: Safe Mode
Safe mode starts Windows with a limited set of files and drivers. Startup programs do not work in safe mode, and only the basic drivers needed to start Windows are installed.
See the following site:
Start your computer in safe mode
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode.
Step 2: Clean boot
When the computer starts to boot, programs non-Microsoft will not be started and would avoid any interruption of their share.
Check out the link:
How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.
Note: once you are done with the boot, follow step 7 of article to reset your computer to normal startup.
Note: If in case you are connected through a wireless connection and then when you start the System Configuration utility to perform the clean boot, click Startup and Services tab one time and check see topic wireless are turned on (Enabled).
Method 2: Perform a virus scan by using the Microsoft Safety Scanner
Analyze the computer to remove all possible malicious content.
See the following site:
Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx.
Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.
Method 3: Auditor of the filesystem (SFC) Scan
SFC scan will find all missing or incorrect system files and repairs them.
See the site:
How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7

This PC is absolutely crucial for the completion of the work, but none of these options did nothing. Programs will work perfectly, what is the problem with my system?Have you tried to make a start for explorer.exe entry? Access
