Major computer manufacters generally speaking provide pretty good support for drivers and updates. I thought it might be useful to provide links for them in order to expedite troubleshooting driver.
View 3 RepliesI have recently had a problem where my computer slows down so much it wont start programs up or even shut-down. It is usually after starting games like counter-strike source and such up.

There are no major API changes, which is a critical point: that means that if there's a Vista driver for your hardware, that should work under Windows 7 without issue. That's great news, because driver issues were one of the top frustrations for people moving to Windows Vista with XP-era hardware.
Windows 7 will be more reliable as well - there are some improvements in reliability and self-diagnosis. There will be fewer prompts for user account control for instance, and in fact the default will be at a lower threshold than it was for Vista. There will be more controls for the user regarding account approvals, and it will be more discoverable than it was in the past."
I have an older P4 2.8ghz Dell Dimension 3100 that currently has Windows 7 installed. Apparently the driver is the Sigmatel 97xx C-Major audio according to support.dell.com - the first thing I tried was the Windows Vista driver listed on Dell's site. Unfortunately that did not work. The driver appears to be installed and I have a sound device however I have no output through the speakers. I'm sure it is a driver related issue.
The device enabled, the speakers work and are hooked up properly. Any ideas where I can find a Windows 7 driver for the Dimension 3100 using the onboard Sigmatel 97XX?
I have A Dell XPS 420 with a Sigmatel Stac92XX C-Major HD Audio Driver and I was running Windows Vista X64 SP1 and everything was working fine.
I just recently installed Windows 7 RT Build 7100 and the Generic High Definition Audio Device Driver Installed and all types of media play, but it's causing a crackling sound in my audio and not only that it actually corrupts the file so if I were to play a MP4 on my XBOX 360 it also has the crackling noise even if the file was originally fine.
I don't know the last Sigmatel Driver that was on my Vista Build but I tried a few of them and even tried in Vista install mode but none of them work & I tried all the codecs packs that I always install and still nothing.
What should I do and is this a driver problem that's causing the crackling noise and corrupting my files or is their something else to this please help because it's driving me crazy?
The day I got my Asus laptop I created back up onto 5 disks (because that's how many was required). Now my computer has been acting very weird and I just wanna reformat it from 0. As if I just recieved my computer. I don't want any help on what I could or should do. My mind is 100% on resetting it to manufacturers default. I have been looking around but I can't seem to do it. When I put the first disk in, I restart the computer and click esc when " ASUS " pops up. I go to the second option and select it. It goes to where it uses the cd to reset it but it says that it cannot find it. And its in the cd driver. Wtf do I do. I really need to just reset the laptop exactly to manufacturers default.
View 4 Replies View Relatedfirst of all, I have a MSI X320 that I purchased in October and on the second day I registered for the Windows 7 Upgrade Option. The way that MSI's system is set up I have not gotten any indication that ith has been processed, is in processing, or set up and I sent it to processing. I called MSI Canada and they said something about waiting for the vouchers from Microsoft or some other crap and that they do not know when it will ship.
Second, in August my mom bought a HP laptop because she was told that while Window 7 will be avialable in October, computers with 7 pre-installed won't arrive into shelves until November. She was going to wait until october until she heard this because She does not want to use Vista. I registered the HP upgrade program for her and she recieved three emmails, the last one saying that her disk is being built, but last time i checked the online webside says that it was shipped and had a tracking number for THL but THL said that the number was not valid and to wait 24 hours. that was in September. if she had known that it would've taken so long she would've waited until october where there WERE Windows 7 laptops on the shelves.
it is now December and niether one of us has recieved our upgrade disks or any indication as to where they are.
any idea why?
i have just wiped off the pre-installed windows that was on my lenovo laptop and installed a clean version of windows 7 home premium 64, can I ask if its better to use the manufacturer branded drivers or are the ones that windows downloads via the updates etc better as they are as intended and "clean" ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been having this problem for the past couple of months and it's driving me insane. I've searched for hours on end without any luck of a fix. The problem is that my mouse lags (or stutters) every 5 seconds. The lag can sometimes be so bad that the mouse completely stops working for a few seconds. I've gone through 3 mice and they've all had the same problem so it can't be because of the mouse. The mouse I'm currently using is the Logitech Anywhere MX.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a Flatbad Passbook printer (Globalis Pr90 Plus) that we need to use on Windows 7 machine using USB Port. In the manuals it's said that to use this printer on windows we need to setup this as the EPSON LQ driver. We have done that and the printer worked fine. After rebooting the machine, the USB Printing Support shows a yellow exclamation mark and the printer doesn't work; using troubleshoot, windows 7 is correcting the issue (Driver not found) and the printer works fine until the machine is rebooted where the problem re-occurs and same cycle again.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPowering on the computer and following the Windows logo, there is a black screen that the cursor can move around on, but it stays that way for a long time. It was over 8 minutes for the login screen to come on. I typed the password and then the same thing happens, black screen complete with cursor and it takes literally 8 minutes or more to come up to the desktop. Once up, everything is bogged down and takes forever to come up when clicked (ie control panel, windows start button, etc.) if they come up at all.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have to use 'System Restore' from time to time to restore my computer. The instructions says: System Restore helps you restore your computer's system files to an earlier point in time. It's a way to undo system changes to your computer without affecting your personal files, such as e-mail, documents, or photos.' This is NOT correct. If I have used my Borland or Lazarus pascal compiler to compile a program on the same day I perform a 'System Restore', afterwards all executables, .bat, a some other files will be missing in a personal folder (latest example: C:CodeTyphonLazarusALazarusProjectsAsyncThreads missing the above file types). I have found other program executables missing also. The only thing that saved me today was the knowledge that Windows does this. I backed up my program project files before doing the 'System Restore'. Before you do one, you need to back up your personal files. Before the 'System Restore', make a list of all your software executables and then see how many are missing after the restore so that you can replace them. It seems to only delete those files of programs that you have used on the day of the restore.
