My Dad's been having computer issues lately and since I've always been able to fix whatever computer I have, he's had, Mom's had, or any of my friends or relatives have had, he asked me to write him up a How To Make This Shit Work When You're A Damn Engineer and STILL CAN'T DO IT Guide. LMFAO. No, he just said write him a "for dummies" manual. ( Read more... )

Can I pick your brain on something? Do you have any experience on the best way to update your drivers? I admit I haven't done so before. Google has some guides that I'm definitely going to read but I was wondering if you've done the driver update before.

What knd of computer do u have? It's so brand specific I'd rather answer specifically. There is an awesome program I use a lot called iobit toolbox that gas like 20 different programs in one for cleaning up, optimizing, and updating your computer and it will update ur drivers as well.

Cnet is trustworthy and the program is too. I'm watching the lsu game but if u want I'll make a tutorial on all the different processes it does when I get home this evening.

Anyway I used that to update my drivers thus last time but I've also done it manually as well so let me know what systembrand u have and ill find u the best write up.

First and foremost though, figure out how to restore ur system before u do it so u can restore it if it goes wonky. I talk about that up there in the write up.

Just bought a refurbed HP (because, I love my Macbook, but it's old and obviously won't feed my PC Sims 2 addiction) and remembered this post from way back when. Looking forward to setting up the new unit with all the right stuff from the get-go, instead of after I find a problem. Also, I did not realize that AVG was the Satan Lite of virus protection. Never heard of Avast, but I'll definitely check it out.

Thanks for this post! :)
