Disable Search For Driver Software History
Dec 6, 2009
I am trying to turn off "search for driver software in this location" history I have search on the internet but cant seem to find the solution.
It keeps on leaving the location of where the driver is which is at external location that might change form time to time.
You get to this location by going to device manager - pick the device you want to update - driver tab - update driver - browse my computer for driver software - and in the drop down box you have the history of the location of the drivers location history which I do not want.
I know where to delete the history that reside in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - SOFTWARE - Microsoft - Windows - CurrentVersion - Setup - and Installation Source string is where you can delete the history
Can someone please help me out here. Your help would be much appreciated.

In IE8, typing in the search bar generated a list of previous search queries starting with the same characters. In IE9, I don't get the same. According to the Privacy Statement, Quote: AutoComplete collects and stores in the registry on your computer the data you type in ...the Address bar. This is a very useful feature of IE8, making it possible to re-use complicated search strings like g site:gloucestershire.gov.uk - all I had to do was type g and this string would appear as the first result. Substitute keywords for the g, select a provider and watch the results stream in.how do I make autocomplete in the Address Bar show previously-entered search strings as well as URLs and page titles?

I'm talking about search function by using windows explorer's search box.By default search in windows explorer begins as you type - it doesn't wait you to finish typing. I hate that and I want to begin search only when I want that (when finished typing the whole string) - by pushing search lens button on the right for example.

Is there a way to have start->run history kept while not keeping a history of the recently launched programs from the menu?
I know under the properties you have "Store and display recently opened programs in the Start menu", but this is what controls both.
I'm figuring theres probably some registry entry that will let me control them individually.

Outlook 2007 Task search versus Windows7 computer wide search.
I enter the same keyword (one of the words contained within the title of a completed task) in the Outlook Task search box as I do the Windows 7 orb 'search programs and files.' The Windows 7 search returns the correct search result (along with a lot other results having the same keyword) practically immediately whereas Outlook is still searching...and searching.
If I have index options set to include the C: drive and Outlook, what's going on with Outlook?

some specifics and pinpoint the differences (or maybe a good website) that would pinpoint the differences between the Windows 7 search and the outlook 2007 search? I know the outlook search searches through email but are there other difference I am overlooking between the two?

I began having an issue with my laptops ATI Radeon graphics driver not working properly. It is fixed now, but the other issues I was having at the same time was not being able to view indexed files through the "search programs and files" and "windows explorer search" box. The screen goes blank or does not produce any results. Also, one of my downloaded software disk programs will not open--error. This particular program, Logos Bible software, index its files quite often. Even when I am not using the program. I also cannot change my desktop background to any picture except solid colors. I think my laptop has a corrupted file somewhere, or it is infected with malware.

I have purchased a new HP Pavilion with a wireless mouse and keyboard. There are 4 keyboard drivers including "Microsoft eHome MCIR 109 Keyboard. This driver is causing problems with an application that uses DirectX to handle both the keyboard and mouse.
The problem is that a few keys malfunction but if I uninstal that driver prior to using the application then everything works perfectly in the application as well as everything else in Windows including keyboard, TV, Remote controls etc.
The problem is that everytime the computer is re-booted or even switched on the problem driver is reinstalled.

since i while ago my laptop's wireless been behaving really weird. the wireless driver will suddenly disable and gone from the network list going into Device manager, it says "this driver is not installed " or sth like that. cant exactly rmb what it said, and sometimes the wireless bars in the bottom will show a yellow "!" with no connectivity with showing only the network i connected to. if i repair it the driver will be gone. almost have to repair like 10X times to get it come back on, (or i think i came back on itself) or sometimes just no network "no connections are available" 1st thought was virus, but did full scan.no virus. just did a Full Format and reinstall window, and 1st thing i've installed the wireless driver..still happaning.

After a power cut, I can't connect to my router and as a result to the internet anymore. It keeps telling me the network is unidentified. I downloaded my motherboard's network driver (Asus M3N78-VM), installed it, then through Upgrade I selected the driver from NVidia as opposed to Microsoft. Did not work.
I then tried to Uninstall network drivers, or Disabling them. When doing that, my PC is in an infinite loop to uninstall the driver, or to disable it. Also changing IP setting manually and pressing Close in the Local Area Network window _sometimes_ makes my PC go stuck as well (often after disabling IPv6).
I do not have the Bonjour service running (says the Bonjour removal tool), I do have Adobe PS2 for some time and Adobe Reader.
It's hopeless, I can't think of what is wrong or how to remove the network driver properly. I'm up to a point to reinstall the OS, but that involves a lot of work, so if it can be done without it would be great.

I need to disable driver signing on win 7 ultimate. The easiest way to do this I am told is push f8 on startup and disable from that menu. This doesn't work for me. During startup, I've tried pressing f8, holding f8, pressing f8 really fast, at any and all times, I was restarting my comp for like a half hour straight. Yes I am pushing it before windows loads. I have also tried opening cmd.exe in admin, and tried to turn on test mode or test signing.
(bcdedit.exe -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON)
This also does nothing. When I restart there is no watermark that says test mode and I cannot run an unsigned driver. I have also tried to run Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider 1.3b. I am aware of the risks of disabling driver signature enforcement so don't bother.

I'm using Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 32-bit
I'm making a test equipment to test a USB device that uses a FTDI-chip (232R). This FTDI-chip has a S/N a Vendor ID (VID) and a Product ID (PID) along with many other settings.
My problem is: 1. I get a new USB device (not flashed in anyway) from the manufacturer, insert it into a USB port on the computer and windows install the standard device drivers included with this device (these are the same for every device) and no windows reboot message is visible.
2. Now I set the S/N, VID, PID to something I like, then I have to remove the USB device to set the settings. When I insert the device again Windows install the device drivers once again, but this time it prompts me with the message "Restart Now or Restart Later". I press "Restart Later" and the device works fine anyway... BUT Can I somehow get rid of this message?
