You could always go into device manager and roll back the driver installation.

Exactly lol.


Meandyou in the future DO NOT install the newest updates if you don't need them.Updating everything is just stupid and in many cases you will end up with these kind of problems or even UNBOOTABLE Windows lol.Update ONLY THOSE THINGS that needs to be updated.For example:

Update the graphic card driver ONLY if the new game requires it,otherwise DON'T!



Oh and you are NOT stupid.Stop saying that lol.Everybody makes mistakes ;)




Cheers!

Then just uninstall all the drivers if you can and install the old ones that worked.

I never really understood why people update their systems like crazy when there is really no need for that...I guess that's the only thing they know to do on computers lol xD
 
If it ain't broke, don't fix it?

But it's a good idea to keep your OS and other software up to date - especially if you're not behind a router or other firewall, since people can scan for and then exploit vulnerabilities on your system. And browsers, especially if you frequent websites that may attempt to exploit your browser.

But I never update hardware drivers unless I'm experiencing problems with the original driver - just asking for trouble if you ask me.
 
Kk let me tell you my problem again so were all on the same page I have a finger print scanner thing it says it there's no finger print scanner pluged it WTF do I uninstall the driver then reinstall it ?? If so how
 
Unplug the hardware, then go to Start-->Control Panel-->System-->Hardware tab-->Device Manager, and look for any yellow "!" or red "x" and right click those objects, and select uninstall. Reboot. Then, run the CD first that came with your finger scanner (before you plug it in). If it didn't come with a CD, check the manufacturer's website for the appropriate driver software, or post here with the make and model of the finger scanner and we'll direct you to the appropriate download.
