Driver Installation Not Executing Properly?
Sep 1, 2012
Recently I started getting notifications and the such that said "Windows is not genuine." after letting a friend use my computer, I backed all my files up and re-installed Windows 7, but the drivers for the WLAN card didn't install correctly (probably because i had to borrow the boot disk from someone). So I used a friend's computer to download the drivers from HP, but after running the installation it opens for maybe a second (at least I can see the icon appear in the taskbar) and closes again. The model of my PC is HP 2000-299WM Notebook PC and is running windows 7.

I decided to disable Avast Antivirus a week a go and start using Microsoft Security Essentials instead. That's when the problems started (which might be just correlation, not causation).
a) When I try to run an .exe file from Total Commander, I get "Error executing program".
b) When I try to run an .exe file from FreeCommander, I get "Your internet security settings prevented one or more files from being opened."
I tried to change all internet settings to "Lowest security" (tried all - intranet, internet...) but problem remained.
c) StartSearch (which I usually use to run applications that don't have icons among the frequently used) doesn't find anything. For example, I type in "Photoshop" and all it finds are blank icons named "Programs" "Documents" "Control Panel" and "Pictures".
I tried fixing the file associations in registry (changing HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTexefileDefault to "%1" %*) but nothing changed. The only way I can run .exe files now is to locate them in Start Menu, locate them using Windows Explorer or via command line.
d) Windows Gadgets stopped being displayed properly.
I have no other clues what might be preventing .exe files from working properly.

A few days ago I finished my first computer build. The process went smoothly until I installed Windows 7 and began to receive repeated blue screens. The BSODs have occurred in various situations such as: while attempting to update drivers, while installing Microsoft Security Essentials and during restarts. The problem is inconsistent and has caused various blue screen error codes that I cannot pinpoint (0x24, 0x3b, 0x34, 0x7e, 0x0a, 0xd1, 0x19). Within the last three days, my computer has blue screened 15 times .
As of now my drivers are up to date. I've also run chkdsk and memtest86+, but have yet to discover an error (in memtest86+ I tested my two RAM sticks individually and let it run for more than one pass).
My parts list consists of...
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz
GPU: SAPPHIRE 100314-3L Radeon HD 6870
Mobo: ASRock Z68 PRO3 GEN3
RAM: G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
PSU: SILVERSTONE ST50F-ES 500W
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST500DM002 500GB
ODD: ASUS 24X DVD Burner
I've also attached the two latest minidumps. Hopefully, I've provided enough information to help solve this issue. I want to use my new computer!

I have created a task that is suppose to launch Goldmine every day at a set time. The task appears to have launched successfully, ie Task Scheduler reports "The operation completed successfully." However I know it isn't actually launching.When I run the task manually the application never launches, when I check Task Manager the gmw.exe process is running but the application never opens, nor does it show in the application tab of Task Manager but whenthe task completes (Goldmine is set to shut down after 5 minutes) the task then reports as stated above.The Actions tab is set to "Start a program" and the path is the UNC path to the exe on my GM server.Security options are "Run whether user is logged on or not" and "Run with highest priveleges", the user account is a Domain Admin.

I have an Inspiron N4010, and one night, it worked perfectly, and the next morning it wouldn't start. So I had to restore my PC to the factory image. Now, many programs on my computer crash only minutes, or even seconds, after executing them. I do not understand why. I have not deleted any files, I have not messed with anything, and I have kept my PC up to date, as well as protected. There is no reason for why my computer runs the way it does.

I am making a shortcut for shutdown. So I am using command
shutdown -h for hibernate
shutdown -l for logoff
But whenever I use time for it, like:
shutdown -h -t 120
Where t 120 is number of secs after which the command will execute then the command doesn't executes. This command works fine for restart shutdown -s -t 120. I can use hibernate with time.

I'm already asking me a while wether it's possible to deactivate the annoying security warning ("Do you want to run this file") when I run exe files on my samba share.
I put various portable apps there and i want to use them as usual files on the local computer. Is that possible? I don't know exactly for what keywords i should search, so i didn't find anything yet. Thanks, best regards, kappen

recently I downloaded and installed Spybot S&D, MBAM, and Comodo firewall on a computer of mine and shortly after(1 or 2 days) My Internet connection ceased. I assumed it was something Comodo was blocking so I tried disabling it and then un-installing it and neither changed anything. I tried pinging www.google.com and it failed. I tried pinging my router and it worked. and I tried having my router ping www.google.com and that worked. I also checked the device manager to see if anything was odd and I had a yellow "!" for my ethernet controller. So I whip out the cd for my motherboard and reinstall it and it is successful. I check the connection to the web and it fails. When I check the device manager it still shows a yellow "!" for the ethernet controller. I tried getting the latest set of drivers for my motherboard on another computer and the same results. My motherboard is a gigabyte GA-M57SLI-S4 nvidia nForce 570 sli. It has a Nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 MBPS ethernet on-board adapter.
There are two entries in my device manager: ethernet controller (which has the "!") and nvidia nForce 10/100/1000 mbps ethernet (which displays fine in the device manager) The current driver package I am trying to install is this link. That is what nVidias drop down boxes give me when I enter in my information.I found some forums of people with similar issues but all the solutions tell them to use the device manager's tools to update the drivers but I haven't had any luck with that so far. I may be doing it wrong because those options never seem to work for me. Does anyone have any ideas on what can be going on here?I'm running windows 7 x64 and a AMD Phenom x4 quad core 2.2GHz

I have a new pc with a Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 motherboard and I plugged a Microsoft 600 Wired Keyboard into the rear port (designated for KB/Mouse by Gigabyte). The keyboard works in the BIOS, but when Windows 7 loads, the num lock light switches on, then Windows 7 says that "Driver not installed properly". In the Devices & Printers window, it shows an icon of the keyboard with a yellow exclamation mark and says "hardware not available". However, mouse continues to work. This happens in all the rear USB ports. If I plug the keyboard in the front port, Windows recognizes the keyboard, install the correct driver and it works! All the USB ports work fine otherwise (tested with thumb drive as well as mouse). I also tried with a Logitech K120 wired keyboard which also had the same problem.!!

I just purchased a "refurbished" Dell Optiplex GX 620. When I turned it on everything worked fine until it rebooted after an automatic Microsoft update was installed. Now I have no sounds. According to the Device Manager "Your sound card is not working properly because a compatible driver is not available for this version of Windows." (I'm running Win7). My sound card is a SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio. I have tried several SoundMAX drivers (found online) that said they were compatible but they don't work either.

I have a "SanDisk Ultra CompactFlash" 4GB card and an internal card reader (HP desktop). When I insert the card into the reader, the green light above the slot turns on as if it recognizes the device, but it doesn't show up. Device Manager says that the driver is installed and working properly, and I have uninstalled it,reinstalled it, and restarted my computer. A system restore isn't really an option because it isn't my computer.

I just got a brand new computer for christmas, it's a hp compaq dc5850, and it was working fine until now! I tried turning the computer on and it got stuck at the blue hp invent screen, I didn't know what to do, so I finally decided to just try and restore it. When I try to use the windows 7 disc to do this it keeps saying "no drives were found. Click to load driver to provide a mass storage driver for installation".

Just like Vista, I cannot seem to find any way to stop the automatic driver installation. I love how when I uninstall a driver/device in XP, on reboot it pops up asking me what to do. Vista and 7 on the other hand, take it upon themselves to reinstall Microsoft drivers on reboot no matter what I do.
I've searched online and yielded no results, and searched here and didn't find anything either (Key words yield many results). Ideally I would prefer Vista/7 to just IGNORE the new device, so I can install the new one/update it myself. But if that can't be done, I'd at least like to be able to STOP the automatic driver installation.
Theres gotta be some way, even if I have to edit something or add registry keys, I just want to stop the automatic microsoft driver installation.

I currently have Windows 7 RC(Build 7100) x64 installed on my Lenovo Y650. The problem im currently having is that almost all of the drivers/system devices I try to install on windows hang during installation. In earlier builds I never had this problem, and it has only recently started happening. In fact, I am running 7100 only because the RTM build refused to install the drivers for my printer(which i needed badly) and I had to revert to 7100.
So far I have had this problem of hanging driver installs with my ipod, my blackjack II(installing windows mobile center), and updating my synaptic drivers. the install windows just sit there and nothing ever happens. I can eventually end the processes but I experience a slow down in performance that is only fixed by rebooting.
The strange thing about this whole problem is that I already had this exact build installed before had no problems with it, this has only started after i reinstalled(clean) with the RTM.
I have already searched google for all my specific problems and found nothing useful. Does anybody have any tips/fixes I can try that I may have overlooked?

This laptop has Windows 7 Premium Installed. I want to install a HD Audio Driver of my choice.
When I uninstall the Generic Windows 7 HD Audio Device Driver The driver is automatically re-installed on restart.
Windows 7 Premium does not have GpEdit.msc installed. An earlier version I came across (version 1.0 on the internet) has limited capability.
How do I prevent Windows Windows 7 from Automatically installing the driver?
Is there a registry entry I can edit to prevent installation of Generic Drivers or specific Generic Drivers i.e HD Audio Device Driver.

I have a problem with windows "Driver Software Installation".
I have an Audigy 2 ZS card installed. Every time I boot the
machine the ""Driver Software Installation" starts and finalize
with saying that the card is ready to use. This is not correct
as there is no sound. Every time I reboot the same thing happens.
Now, I have disabled Windows Update, I have disabled the devices
etc. but nothing stops this ""Driver Software Installation" from
starting at the next boot.
I would like to install Daniel Kawakami's Audigy_SupportPack_2_18_0001_W7
but when I start, it says it can not install untill I have rebooted
from a previous install which is the "Driver Software Installation"
failed installation. And rebooting of course starts the "Diver Software
Installation" again.
Is there any way to disable the ""Driver Software Installation"?

Our office computers were just upgraded to Windows 7 Pro 64bit. We have 4 computers networked using a Work Network group. I am trying to install a HP LaserJet P2035 printer on one of the workstations but the CD that came with the printer does not have the driver to support Windows 7We just purchased the printer in March 2011, so I thought it would be compatiable with the new computers. However, I have tried everything that I can think of to find a driver that will work with Windows 7 with no luck.

When I plug it in, driver installation starts but fails. I can locate the device in the Device Manager, should I be manually installing a driver in this case? If so, I'd like to have a driver.

I purchased a HP laptop that has window 7 home premium OA edition pre installed. I decided to shrink my primary partition and install ubuntu on it.However after ubuntu finish installing. I get a boot error and it leads me to the use the recovery tool. At that point, I am prompt to put in a win 7 cd.I do just that but there is no response. I also tried to go into the window 7 installation screen but it cannot find any drives.On the linux live cd however, I am able to see all my partitions on the install screen.I suspect that I might have installed ubuntu on some important factory config files.
