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

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  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.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers to 7 (update drivers manually using the methods above is preferred
  to make sure that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
  Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
  older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
  get new manually if you wish.

• Window Vista freezes on the screen "Please wait", Symantec seems to be the problem have reinstalled but the problem persists

  Hi all

  My Toshiba Vista laptop hangs at the screen "Please wait" when restarting. I tried the clean boot and reduced to protection services of Symantec Endponit (event and the settings manager and Client Management). I went to the website of symantec and installed the latest version, but the problem persists. Any suggestions?

  Also sometimes after you start clean it will normally start with running symantec services and then go back to the gel next time I stop but I haven't worked why/when this happens.

  Thank you

  Frizzaldo

  Hi Frizzaldo,

  I'm glad to hear that you were able to find the guilty program causing the problem.

  I suggest that you completely remove the computer using the Norton removal tool, and then install the latest version of Norton, check if it works.

  Norton removal tool

  http://us.Norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docURL=20080710133834EN&LN=en_US

  If you are still experiencing problems with Norton, then you will need to contact Norton support to see if there are known problems and no fix available.

  Note: you can also use Microsoft security essentials, but before that, check with Symantec for any fix available

• Lose the ability to access Internet after Windows updates published in the last 24 hours

  I lose the internet connection if I install the Windows updates published in the last 24 hours.  I have had access to the internet after restoring to a restore point.   I was able to recreate this problem be reinstall them again.

  Update the example is KB2121546

  Manually install a - alone.
  Reset.
   
  Still have Internet?
   
  Manually install the next one, one.
  Reset.
   
  Still have Internet?
   
  Repeat this until you lose Internet or have installed all updates - what comes first.  If you lose Internet - uninstall that one and install all others (using the same one at a time - at the most method you will have 8-9 for this cycle) then come here and let everyone know what update was kill your Internet connection.
   
  Why?  An update of the example is of no help.  There are 9 updates you could possibly have * if * you were aware through yesterday.  Knowing the SPECIFIC update that is causing your problem would be better for you and those who help you.

• Windows 7 freezes for the right click devices and printers don't is not loading

  I support for a local photography studio and built all of their computers. One of their photo editing machines faced some weird problems I can't solve.

  It is currently running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. About two months ago the mainly the user complained that a right-click on a folder or a file on the desktop would cause the computer to freeze. She also noted that devices and printers would not have been responsible. We finally just did a clean install of Windows, and that seemed to fix the problem...

  .. .for a while.

  About two weeks, the same two problems returned, now it is intermittent. The user declares every morning, she has him restart the computer several times, but then everything works very well for the rest of the day. But while it comes in the next morning, and it does the same thing.

  I tried manually reset the BIOs, turn on Bluetooth Services (even if that computer does not all bluetooth devices) and play with Windows registry a bit, but because the problem is not compliant, it is very difficult to solve.

  I don't know if it's a hardware or a Windows problem. All the tracks would be greatly appreciated!
