Pcs dont tell you its out of date they either tell you its not installed or its fine. i think another driver software is telling you this, if everything is working fine then just ignore it, you dont have ti obay every message your pc tells you.

Need graphics upgrade

Your Mobo supports PCI and PCI Express x16 Graphics Cards. Keep in mind some Graphics Cards require a MIN. Power Supply Unit, PSU. How much Memory do you have installed? That a easy upgrade. You can find some useful info here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00864946&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=3340228#N144 ALSO, your choise of cards is good Take a look at this for example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100006662%2040000048&IsNodeId=1&Description=graphic%20cards&bop=And&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20. ON the left side of the page you can select PCI or PCI e x16, which is a faster slot/card. You can also Upgrade your CPU, in the HP support page it list the Compatible CPU. Here is a Little freeware program that may help: http://www.filehippo.com/download_speccy/. For further assistance respond to post.

I upgraded optiplex GX260 with Windows Vista. I lost video resolution on the monitor. Can you email me the link for the driver? Thanks, paa

Vista has a cutoff date on desktop computers for supporting drivers for video.
Your options are to go back to XP, or see if your computer has a spare
PCI slot, if so then buy a PCI VGA board that is Vista supported.
When you open your case and install the board, bootup and Vista
will detect the new VGA board and install the required drivers.

When I download a program an click to install it a box pops up saying the download I am trying to install is not a valid Win32 application. This is a new problem. I have not had any problems downloading in...

This error message could be caused by a number of things. Generally it's because the program being downloaded is corrupt or didn't download completely. Have you tried a different browser to do the downloads? If it's a very large download you may encounter problems with losing packets. A download manager may help.

Also, you may want to try doing a restore to system restore point to a date when you weren't having this issue. System Checkpoint dates (in bold) are usually very safe points to restore to. I would also recommend a virus scan and if you don't have this utility and are able to download and install it (yes I know that's your current problem, but you can download it to a flashdrive from a friend's comp and install it), I'd get Glarysoft Utilities and run the one-click maintenance which will fix any registry errors. It's free and is a great way to keep your machine running well.

How to maintain my laptop up to date?

Hi,

Sad to say but you can only keep laptops up to date until the motherboard on it reaches its peak. And to do so, just check out the latest drivers online. for your Lenovo laptop check out consumersupport.lenovo.com for latest drivers and software updates not only that, you can also watch out for latest programs which are out in the market regularly and upgrade your notebook's RAM and HDD if it doesn't meet the programs system requirements because whatever the motherboard is on your laptop that is the only thing that would fit in that shell.

IDE Ports not working on ASUS P5LD2-VM Mobo

Good Day sir, hi, Have you tried to enable the IDE on BIOS setup. If the Bios setup did not solve the IDE problem, check the IDE port of the HARD drive, check if there are bent pins.
If still wont work, you can buy a PCI to IDE/SATA card, this is an expansion card in PCI format with IDE and SATA port.We use this card incase the IDE or SATA on the motherboard gets bad. Connect it on the available PCI slot. Then connect the IDE cable of the Hard disk to this card. Thats it.

System was rebuilt years ago under warranty (new motherboard, I believe). Years later I realize that USB is no longer 2.0. How to I install/upgrade/activate this?

Hello,

You can install a USB 2.0 PCI card in an empty expansion slot. I suspect that your system was originally USB 1.1.

Hope it helps.

Upgrading my compaq evo d51s

A ram upgrade could help, however you may need to think about upgrading your CPU also. First check if you can upgrade your CPU. Your best option may be to upgrade to a new computer altogether.

Toshiba laptop Tecra 8000

What the computer is trying to tell you is that the hard drive has gone faulty somehow... hard Drives can and do spontaneously fail all the time.. It probably shut down because it detected a serious fault with the hard drive. I think that at least you are going to have to try a new hard drive to see...
