Open Action Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, and then, under System and Security, clicking Review your computer's status . 2. Click Maintenance. 3. Under Check for solutions to problem reports, click Check for solutions. Windows will notify you if there are any solutions to problems available for your computer. Note Some problems and solutions can only be viewed and fixed by an administrator. Log on using an administrator account to view these problems. Check Windows Update for software updates Recent updates from Microsoft might help fix the problem. Windows Update helps keep your computer up to date with the latest system updates and drivers. You can check Windows Update manually to help ensure you have the latest updates to Windows 7 installed. For more information, see Updates: frequently asked questions. To check for updates 1.

If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. Search for drivers on the manufacturer's website If you recently installed a hardware device, such as a sound card or video card, an incorrect or improperly installed device driver might be causing the problem. Make sure you have the latest driver for the device installed. You can typically find drivers on the device manufacturer's website. Most drivers are self-installing—after you download them, you can usually just double-click the file to begin the installation. For more information, see Update drivers: recommended links. If a driver isn't self-installing, follow these steps: To update a driver You must be logged on as an administrator to perform these steps. 1.

Only the basic files and drivers necessary to run Windows are started, which can help you troubleshoot software problems. For example, if a program runs as soon as you start Windows and can't be shut down, you can start Windows in safe mode, and then try to uninstall the program. For more information, see What is safe mode? To start your computer in safe mode 1. Remove all floppy disks, CDs, and DVDs from your computer, and then restart your computer. Click the Start button , click the arrow next to the Shut Down button , and then click Restart. 2. Do one of the following: If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, you'll need to try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then shutting down and restarting your computer. If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to highlight the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8. 3. On the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to highlight the safe mode option you want, and then press Enter. For more information about options, see Advanced startup options (including safe mode). 4. Log on to your computer with a user account that has administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you'll see the words Safe Mode in the corners of your screen. To exit safe mode, restart your computer and let Windows start normally. Check your computer for hard disk and memory errors Some errors can be caused by problems with your computer's hard disk or random access memory (RAM), rather than problems with Windows or other software running on your computer. Windows 7 includes tools that can help identify and fix certain hardware- related errors. Serious errors might require you to contact the hardware manufacturer for support. For more information, see Check a drive for errors and Diagnosing memory problems on your computer. To check for hard disk errors 1. Open Computer by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Computer. 2. Right-click the drive that you want to check, and then click Properties. 3. Click the Tools tab, and then, under Error-checking, click Check now. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select Automatically fix file system errors . Otherwise, the disk check will report problems but not fix them. To perform a thorough check, select Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors . This scan attempts to find and repair physical errors on the drive itself, and it can take much longer to complete. To check for both file errors and physical errors, select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors. 4. Click Start. To check for memory problems 1. Open Memory Diagnostics Tool by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Memory, and then click Diagnose your computer's memory problems. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 2. Choose when to run the tool. If you choose to restart your computer and run the tool immediately, make sure that you save your work and close all of your running programs. The Memory Diagnostics Tool will run automatically when you restart Windows. |
