With all the device drivers for even the most basic of system, how do you all go about checking for updates? Is there a "driver checker" type program or is it a case of checking each driver individually?
View 3 RepliesFor a while now I have been experiencing a strange problem. My laptop keeps changing the Windows Updates without my consent. I know this has been raised in the past but my problem is slightly different.I prefer to choose "Check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them", however periodically the settings change without my consent to "Never check for updates".This is very frustrating as I am constantly having to keep an eye on this, and change the settings back to what they were in order to receive critical updates, or indeed any other update.The laptop was bought new just under 12 months ago and came with Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit pre-installed.Has anyone else experienced this, or can anyone advise on a fix?
View 9 Replies View RelatedTryin to check for updates and it says no updates are available when I know there is because I don't even have SP1 on here yet (Just got it out of box) It installed updates, once, but now will not properly search when I ask it to "check for updates" it just lets the bar scroll once "checking for updattes" then says "no important updates are available.. I turned firewall off, still no luck..
View 2 Replies View RelatedIt appears to be solved, however Windows Update does not work. I get the message "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running. You may need to restart your computer." Needless to say, the restarts do not help. I also tried installing Windows Essentials for virus protection which could not receive updates. I have since uninstalled an am using Clamwin for virus protection.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhat are peoples stance on applications that check for updates?How frequently is acceptable?
- Never
- Every launch
- Once an hour
- Once a day
- Once a week
- Longer?
applications that do this usually connect to a host on the Internet to check if there is a newer version.What about Steam, etc?
I just performed a fresh reinstall on toshiba satellite c665 with windows 7, all seemed smooth, however it will not even check for updates.. I go to windows update and it says "windows update cannot check for updates because service is not running, you may need to restart your computer".. So I made sure all update services / module were started, and even tried the "fix it update program" still same error.. This never happened to me before.. I'm stuck.

I can't understand why I even need them, as I uninstalled net framework. Notice how the update at 8:17 AM., KB2656368, is the same as one of the 4 updates installed at 7:47 PM. Windows wants to install the same four kb files again.How do I stop this?

So I ran msinfo32, and I was browsing through it to see if it could give me any interesting information (stuff like drivers I still needed to install, getting the USB ports to actually use 2.0 like they're supposed to but have never done under XP/Ubuntu/7). And came up with the following surprising pic - there's quite a few entries through the list, but this is the part with the most wtfs-per-screen.

View 1 Replies View RelatedRecently when I booted up my desktop, I get the error from Catalyst Control Center"No AMD driver found or the AMD driver is not functioning properly. Please install the appropriate driver for your hardware." (Not the actual text, it's what I remember)(Hence I'm stuck with the generic driver without support for widescreen resolutions)I went to Device Manager and selected my "ATI Radeon 4800 Series", then clicked 'Update Driver', but I get the following error:'Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install itData error (cyclic redundancy check)'.I don't think it's the driver file's problem as I downloaded it fresh?I have no idea what's causing the error.. I don't think it's the video card's problem as it still shows up in my Device Manager, and I've tried System Restore, but I get the error that 'Windows is unable to replace C:Windows with the backup copy' or something similar.
