    Unable to update drivers due to an error


    I just replaced my hard drive in my computer (previous one began to fail) so I know that my current headset works with windows 10 as I've been using it before for a long time. I only just got my PC back today and now my headset won't work. I have tried to update the drivers and i get a message saying "Windows encountered a problem installing the drivers for your device." it then goes on to say "Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them." It then says "One of the installers for this device cannot perform the installation at this time." I have only just plugged the device into the computer so its only just downloaded the drivers the device needs so I don't know why it is doing this. I have tried nearly all the fixes I can find online and nothing seems to be working. The only way i can hear audio is by unplugging the pin adaptor which came with the headset which I've always been using to plug into a USB Port and plugging the Headphone pin directly into the audio port but then that only gives audio through the left side of the headset and no audio coming through the right side which is no use and even plugging the microphone directly into the port doesn't work either. If anyone can advise a way to fix this i would be glad as i'm currently stumped as what to do about it.

    :)

    Update wont update DUE TO Avira (i REMOVED ALL i COULD IN REGESTRY) AND dvd ram driver/bd DRIVER SOFTWARE

    Hi Michael,

    The usual cause for an update not to be installed successfully is due to conflicts with a third-party antivirus software and device driver errors which were the ones that you’ve encountered. To continue with installing the update, we suggest that you follow
    these steps:

    • Remove or disable third-party security software. Make sure to least disable the third-party antivirus software that’s installed on your computer. Then, check for updates again.
    • Check Device Manager for driver errors. Type Device Manager in the
      Search box on the taskbar, then select it from the results. In the window that will pop up, try to look for any device with a
      yellow exclamation mark beside it (you may have to select each category to switch to the list of devices). Right-click the device name and select either
      Update Driver Software or Uninstall it to correct these errors.

    Let us know the outcome after trying the steps.

    BSOD- atikmpag.sys

    This is most likely due to an installation/upgrade error with ATI driver's. I suggest doing DriveSweeper and the following:
    • Drivesweeper all drivers & in Safe Mode
    • Unistall all drivers that aren't used in DriveSweeper (CCC Profiler Updates, MSI AfterBurner, anything related to ATI that use's it's drivers.)
    • After you do this, the first thing you need to do is go into Device Manager and Unistall your ATI Drivers

    Once your done, restart the PC and then try installing the latest drivers.


    I had several issues with this in the past, but I overcame it with logical reasoning and whenever I have a driver issue, I just use these steps and I always overcome the problem.

    Best of luck! *Toast :toast:

    Unable to update drivers due to an error

    Who has seen this vista update error

    When you go to Windows vista update and it tell you to update a driver that you have already updated. Then it says failed to update and gives you the error code that tell you that you already have a never version than that. WTF? Why in the world would it be trying to updated something with an older driver. Well the only way to get it out of your windows update list is to go uninstall what ever that driver is then run the update and install it. Then run the newer drivers again.

    Well I still can't get the Nivida Network Bridge to disappear out of the list. I uninstall the one in device manager and go to the update and before it's even done with that. Vista is automatically installing a newer version than is in the Vista update list.......
