Recentfixes

Recent fixes, trials, errors

Hey everyone!! I was trying to decide where to put the
recent fixes for newer issues that I come across, so I
figured, why not do a full page dedicated to new stuff.
With the release of Windows 7™, a new set of issues, as
pretty much expected. Fantastic op system, though. The
fixes listed on this page are for all MS op systems, but
will concentrate on 7. Notes made where needed. The
fixes ARE in development, so take them with a grain of
salt, please. As I stated on the home page, I DO NOT
post fixes unless I know they work, but 7 IS a new op
system, so the fixes may change.

K, the first thing I noticed with my old friend Vista™, is
one day it's fine, the next day, you get the
message "windows could not search for updates".
SIGHHHHH..... One thing you can TRY to remedy this, is
create another user account with administrative
privileges. To do this, Start>control panel>user
accounts>create new account. That I have found will
usually fix the update issue, but not always. It's worth a
shot, either way. I haven't heard of the issue in a while,
and personally won't use vista, so MS may have come
up with a fix.

Next up, chkdsk constantly wants to run a check on
startup. I have only 2 solutions for this one. 1 your
disk is dying (yes, sadly, it does happen)A good reason to back up your files (which you should be
doing anyway!!) This is for ALL MS O.S.
2 If you have a dual operating system setup, let it run on
BOTH startups
and, then restart. That happened on my machine
recently, which runs xp, and 7 rc, so give it a shot

If you know of a better fix that works, please let me
know. I'm not a professional, ya know!! I always
appreciate knowledge, so if ya have an idea, shoot me
an E-Mail!!
As always, thanks for visiting!! G.

Drivers, Drivers,Drivers!!! If you've ever switched mobos
or bought a used vid or sound card, you probably have
noticed the hardware doesn't quite work right. Well, that's
because most, if not all hardware you put into your
machine must have the drivers to work right. Drivers are
software programs that tell a certain piece of hardware
what to do, and when to do it. Without them, graphics
move slow, and sound cards may not work at all! I have
made a small list of driver d-load sites for you to browse,
but because of the HUGE amount of drivers for products,
it's impossible to cover them all!! They are located on the
free downloads page, and as always, I test SOME of
them! It's up to you to scan the files FIRST with your
antivirus/antispyware. (which I know you're running,
right??!)
