So I turned the automatic driver search on for a minute to find drivers for my printer on the internet, but now I can't find the options menu to turn off the automatic driver search. Where do I find these options?
View 3 RepliesI'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.

Same if I turn it off and turn it back on. I have to turn it off and on many times then go to safe mode and shut down then turn it on again for it to work. Just now I had to turn it on/off 4 times for it to show the icons and task bar. Usually it is left blank with nothing to click having no choice but to turn it off. Norton says no viruses. My computer is HP with windows 7. I bought it in 2011.

View 1 Replies View RelatedJust 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I was curious if there was some sort of RELIABLE software that could scan my system and detect if I have out of date drivers. I see a lot of gimmicky programs advertising this capabilty, but I don't want it to be bs and my system just get all out of whack.

View 9 Replies View RelatedOutlook 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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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.

View 9 Replies View Related"windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error I have been experiencing lately.
The problem is similar to the one I described previously (here: Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer)
...namely, I am running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, and have experienced the same error message ( windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX', where XXX is my search query) when attempting to initiate a search via the Windows start menu search box. Unfortunately, my previously proposed solution (of removing a network search location from Windows Search Index list) does not resolve it.....and so finally I resorted to using Samhrutha's proposed solution of modifying the registry to reset Windows Search back to default (which DID work...but ended up removing all the search index customizations I had made).
However, when I then modify the search indexing options to include indexing of my C: drive, I get the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message.
If I then uncheck the C: drive box in the search in the search indexing options, the error message does not occur....so I then went thru a tedious process of trying to identify which folders on my C drive were causing the issue, and from what I am able to tell, the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message seems to always occur when the indexing options include at least one folder WHICH IS OWNED by TRUSTED INSTALLER (e.g., program files folder, program files (x86), c:, etc.). This wasn't a problem previously, so my guess is that MS Update recently (e.g., w/in the last few months) changed some security setting which now prevents Windows Search from being able to index/access folders owned by TRUSTED INSTALLER, resulting in the "windows cannot find 'search:query=XXX'" error message.
How bad is turning off UAC?To install the scalix connector for windows 7 we have to turn off UAC i understand that this will also disable virtualization. Will this impact a users performance? And what if any are issues that we might run into by disabling UAC?Should we turn UAC back on?

View 9 Replies View RelatedObviously I use Windows 7 since i am posting in this category. I am in desperate need of some assistance. My computer lately has been lagging or momentarily freezing when I open a program or window. The most disturbing problem is that my laptop shuts off whenever it feels like it. I had to do a System Restore just to get it to turn on yesterday. Luckily I have come acrossI have a working knowledge of computers, enough to get me by so far, but this is way out f my league. In case the info is important I use AVG for anti-virus and also Windows Advanced Care (recommended by a friend). My computer is used mainly for gaming so I would love to get this fixed ASAP since shutting down mid boss fight is highly irritating.

I have a home network with two desktop PCs and three laptops, all running Windows 7.I mostly use a desktop PC with Windows 7 Ultimate. I have installed the same version on my girlfriend's laptop. (All other computers use different versions of Windows 7. All 5 copies are legal.)However, when she turns her laptop back on, I get a BSOD on my desktop PC. This doesn't happen when any other PC is turned on.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI started having the issues of my desktop turning itself on in the middle of the night, and the infinite boot loop a few weeks ago. I have tried a few of the fixes online such as restoring, checking task scheduler, and running the startup fix on the Windows disc. The pc will also randomly shut down once it loads Windows (put itself through the proper 'Windows is shutting down', not the sudden shut down of a hardware failure). Tonight I also got the bizarre happening of a black screen shortly after startup, with a small in the task bar saying something like 'This Windows version is not genuine'. I am using 7 Home Premium 64bit.
