Windows will automatically stop.

Windows keeps itself shut down. No error code or anything, she just stops. Does not seem serious if an Internet browser window is open or not. I use McAfee Security Center and Firefox as a web browser.

    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.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.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.

  • Windows Defender automatically stops

    I have Windows Vista on my computer and AVG Free 9.0. When I start my computer, it is supposed to automatically start windows Defender. I have to manually start so he could analyze. Sometimes it stays on while other times is will turn itself off until the computer is turned off.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If you have Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, McAfee, Norton, etc. installed, they have a conflict with Windows Defender, or turn it off.

    Microsoft Security Essentials has its own integrated version of the defender and should automatically disable the version of Vista in Windows Defender.

    If it's not:

  • USB HUBs in Windows 7 has stopped working

    All devices connected to a USB 2 HUB worked until today on Windows 7 Pro System.  Uninstall and re install installs the device in the field "Other devices" without a pilot.  When I select Generic USB hub to the installation, it is not recommended.  Installation in any way will result in failure: Code 31.

    Hi John,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the forum of the Microsoft community.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    What was the reason to uninstall and reinstall the USB hub?

    I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Run this Microsoft fixit and check if that helps.
    Reference:
    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems

    If this does not help, then use method 2.

    Method 2:
    I suggest you uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers and check the issue.

    Use Device Manager to uninstall and reinstall all USB controllers. This allows controllers to recover the port USB of his condition does not respond. USB controllers represent the USB ports in Device Manager.

    To uninstall and reinstall the USB controllers, follow these steps:

    a. Click Start, type Manager of devices in the search box of start and press ENTER.

    b. develop a 'USB Bus controllers'.

    Note: You will need to scroll down to find this point.

    c. right-click on the first controller USB under "In Bus USB controllers" and then click "Uninstall" to remove it.

    d. repeat the above steps for each USB controller that is listed under 'USB Bus controllers'.

    e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

    Now, check the USB device to see if it works.

    I hope this information helps.

    Please let us know if you need more help.

  • you have to have free space, or your files will automatically separate?

    I have about an 80 gigabyte and I want to share it at halfway but its full, so I was wondering if windows will automatically share files

    Your question is not particularly clear.

    Windows will only save a file on a single path then if the Act of writing a large file will fill a particular drive that the write will fail completely with a lack of space error.

    When writing multiple files to a removable device, it can request a change to the device when it is full.

    It is not generally recommended to fill out a capacity HARD drive as standard household tasks will not work. You should always have at least 15% of free space on a disk partition.

  • Windows XP will not stop with service pack 3

    Several months ago I installed service pack 3 for Windows XP.  From as soon as possible, the system would block when I'm going to stop it.  The only cure (for a novice like me) was to put the computer manually.  Sometimes, maybe once every 15 - 20 times, the system shuts down normally.

    I lived with it, but it's very boring, so I went to remove the program from the service pack 3 today, and the system does not allow deletion.  So my question is:
    1. is there a way for me to solve this problem when windows will not be stopped?  , or,
    2. is there a way for me to remove service pack 3?

    Thanks for your help!
