    Windows Installer keeps trying to install something I already have


    Windows Installer keeps trying to install HP PhotoSmart Essentials. This is already on the computer. It startrs this everytime I start up & it takes a day or two of cancelling it till it stops


    I did recently install a new printer, but the install seemed to go fine & this started days later.


    Thank You

    :)

  3. Windows 7 wont install drivers

    i dont think anyone here understands what your asking either when its nearly a 90% english dominated Tech forum.
    Step 1
    reinstall windows from scratch
    Step 2
    install all drivers from the cd that came with the god damn motherboard *common sense*
    Step 3
    update windows
    Step 4
    install misc etc crap like flash java etc etc
    Step 5
    Install GPU drivers
    Step 6
    go back to using your pc without issue.

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage
