need to reinstall HP4 print drivers at reboot

I built a new Windows 7 64 bit rig with a GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H motherboard. It did not have a legacy parallel port which I needed for an old but serviceable HP 4 laserjet printer. So, I purchased and installed a syba PCI-express parallel port adapter which installed no problem. I...

Asrock H61M/U3s3 driver missing

I just built a computer with the H61M/U3s3 MB and an Intel Core i3-3220 Ivy Bridge processor. The board arrived with a recent BIOS (needed to support the ivy bridge family.) The install went fine and all seems well, except one thing bugs me.. In device manager, there is an unknown...

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 motherboard replacement

VL, I checked out the mobo you recommended. It is a micro ATX form factor. In my early search for replacement boards, I just assumed I wanted a full ATX board. The case is roomy and had that type board in it before. Should I reconsider? Thx

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 motherboard replacement

How do I make multiple copies of system image in Win 7?

Perhaps that will work, but for some reason I thought Windows 7 didn't like the file being moved to a location other than where it put it. I was hoping for a more eloquent solution. As I have investigated this subject, it seems that others are frustrated with the limitations of the built in...

I think I may have solved my problem. I was suspicious that something was wrong with disk 1 (D) so I tried to run the windows "check disk for errors" tool from within windows. When I did, it "crashed" my drive D and it disappeared like it did during the failed backup. Rebooting restored it...
