Plz help, "device not detected" after windows updates?? I have so

I have An Audigy 2 ZS, and have the latest drivers. It has been working PERFECT, LAST NIGHT I had like 0 WINDOWS UPDATES, i dont' know if any of these had anything to do with this. But, I just now went to the icon in the task bar, and went to change SPEAKER SETTINGS to switch to HEADPHONES as I ALWAYS DO, I was surprised when the "unable to change the sound device to your selected device", you press ok, and it comes up TWO MORE TIMES, Right after each other.
I DO HAVE SOUND, FOR NOW. I have read other mentioning this error, but I didn't seem to find any answers. I can't go to speaker settings, or Surround Mixer,
OK, NOW I tried to go to GRAPHICS EQ, and an error came up that said "THE AUDIO DEVICE SUPPORTED BY THIS APPLICATION IS NOT DETECTED, THE APPLICATION WILL EXIT"
What is going on?
I went to device manager and it says that the device is working properly, and I DO have sound.
I DON'T get it. And I'm not likeing this. This is starting to worry me.
Does ANYONE know what is going on.. PLZ?

Thanx for the reply. I just now fixed it. I'm not totally sure what I did. Earlier I had uninstalled the device from Device manager, and then restarted, and it installed the drivers from the CD. It didn't fix it. So, I ran the LIVE update here at creative.com and downloaded the version I had before, I guess because when i had ran the update before I uninstalled the device the update wasn't there.
But, it started to update, and said something it had to restart the pc in order to install the update, and after it installed the new "creative audio console" it now works.
the whole thing was strange since I dind't lose sound at all. Just couldn't access settings.

Why is my USB DAQ device not detected by Windows?

Hello,
I had my USB-6229 connected to my PC (Windows 7 64bit) this morning and everything was fine: Windows detected the device, the device showed up on on NI MAX, and testing through NI MAX was successful. I then installed the NI DAQmx 9.8 driver to replace the NI DAQmx 9.6 driver that I was using (the DAQ Assistant icon in my functions menu in LabVIEW 2013 was not present, and this upgrade fixed that issue). Unfortunately, Windows now no longer recognizes the same DAQ device that worked earlier this morning.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Uninstalling the 9.8 driver and re-installing the 9.6
Tested another USB DAQ device; Windows could not detect it either
None of the DAQ devices register on WIndows's device manager (usb ports not broken, as the flash drives I inserted showed up on device manager)
As expected, none of the devices show up on NI MAX
Does anyone have any suggestions on what may have happened when I upgraded from the 9.6 driver to the 9.8?

Thanks for your reply, Philip. Yes, I did reboot my computer after installing the driver.
I contacted NI support, and we were unable to reach a solution, so, as a last effort, re-installed the driver for the third time, which finally worked. I'm not sure what the problem was, but here are some extra steps I took before re-installing the driver that may benefit those who encounter a similar problem:
1. As Philip mentioned, start the NI Device Loader if it has not been started or stop/start it if it has. The startup status ought to be set to "automatic." You can find the NI Device Loader by starting Task Manager, selecting the "Services" tab, then selecting the "Services" button. Scroll down the list until you find it.
2. Open up Device Manager and search for your device (mine was labeled as "unidentifiable"). Right click and select "Properties." Select the "Driver" tab. You may need to manually select the driver folder, which should be located in C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS.
Hope that helps.

HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot after windows update (windows 8.1)

After a series of windows update (windows 8.1) my HP Pavilion 15-n268sa will not boot up, no fan noises, no lights no nothing.
I have tried a "hard reset" a number of times with no success.
When the battery is present the white LED flashes 3 times when the power button is pressed.
Please please help.

Hello Cuffy,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you notebook will not boot after a series of Windows updates.
Can you tell me if you are able to access the HP Recovery Manager by repeatedly tapping the F11 key while the notebook turns on? If you can access this, try doing a system restore to before you installed the updates. If not I would suggest you go through this document: Computer Does Not Start and the LEDs Blink or the Computer Beeps.
If it's the Caps Lock light that is blinking this document will tell you exactly what the error is (spoiler: 3 beeps is a memory failure). This could also explain the failed updates. The updates are stored in the RAM before being applied to the operating system.
You can try reseating the RAM, or using only 1 of the RAM cards, as you have 2x4GB cards. If it still doesn't work with 1 card, try the other card to confirm it has failed.
You can replace defective cards via HP Phone Support if covered under warranty or at the HP Part Store if not covered. You can contact HP Technical Support at 1-800-474-6836 in North America. For all other regions click here.
Hopefully this information helps!

Satellite c55 - wifi not working after windows update

Laptop is running windows 7. Laptop rebooted itself and did a windows update, once i logged into it, the wifi is not located. This is the update that ran today. Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB2952664)Installation date: ‎7/‎28/‎2015 11:44 AMInstallation status: SuccessfulUpdate type: RecommendedInstall this update to resolve issues in Windows.

Kim, a Restore point should have automatically been made by Windows BEFORE processing the update. You should run System Restore using that restore point and then HIDE that update so that it isn't ever installed again.

Itunes not opening after Windows Update

I am aware that a post was made recently that was very similar to this one, but my problem is different enough that i deemed it necessary to make my own topic)
Ever since I downloaded the new Itunes 10, everytime I have had a Windows update (I am using Windows 7), Itunes will not open. When i double click it, the mouse shows the "loading" cursor but the program does not work. This has happened two times before, and each time i had to uninstall Itunes as well as Quicktime, and then re-install both of them.
I would like to be able to update Windows without Itunes dying on me, so are there any other ways to get it to work? Any help is very appreciated.

oh my gawd
Brallen91,
thank you so SO much for providing that link!
been stuck with that problem for days; tried uninstalling, removing, reinstalling, all the things. also deleted my preference files in ~/Library/Preferences/ like a thousand times etc.
all I missed was that there also are two files in ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ too; I deleted those, restarted; woosh, iTunes is finally back! *dances through the entire house*
thanks a ton man <3

Battery not detected after windows install. Batteries tab missing in device manager too

My eM250 still charges fine but I have no way to see how much juice I have left. no after market meters or anything like that has helped. How can I fix such an odd problem?

iluvwhtchix,
I've looked at the quick start and service guide and do not see a standby button, what am I missing? LoL
It just sounds like there are some drivers that did not install, was this with the media that was sent from eMachines? There might be a drivers disc that could resolve the issues, if so. You can always go check to see if you have the right drivers on our eMachines support page.

Apple devices not detected in Windows 8.1

Win 8.1, Itunes 11.2.2.3, Ipod 5 and Ipad Air not recognized in iTunes nor PC. Tried everything I've found in the net and nothing helps. USB ports working fine. Apple mobile device USB driver not listed. This is driving me nuts! Don't send me to the Apple support 1538 case. Please help!!!

Excellent and thanks for the "spot on" tip! I only wish I had found it before bringing up a different compter to re-sync my Apple mobile products, which of course meant I had to rebuild my libraries on that system.
On Windows 8.1 64 bit I did find the steps to be a little different from what Steven outlined and for those less compfortable with technology I thought I would include a version edited for Windows 8.1 64 bit specifically.
Connect You Apple Mobile device to the PC with iTunes.
In the PC's Device Manager expand the "Portable Devices" entry.
Right-click the Apple iPhone, Apple iPad, or Apple iPod entry in Device Manager and choose "Update Driver Software" from the shortcut menu.
Choose the option to "Browse my computer for driver software" and browse to: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers and highlight that folder for the driver update.
Click "OK" then "Next" and your Apple mobile device should now be rocognized (verify this in iTunes)
Repeat for any other Apple mobile dvices synced on this computer.
All credit to Steven, however!

Outlook 2013 does not open after Windows / updates

Hi,
I had installed Office 2013 on my Windows PC. I got updates for Office 2013 and after that my Outlook stoped working. It did not open except in safe mode. I checked similar problems and tried to remove add ins in safe mode but still does not work. Tried
to create new profile no success. Then I tried to re install it yesterday and it worked fine until I got updates again today and it stops open again.
Is something wrong with Office 2013 updates?
Any suggestion/solutions to fix this problem.
Chagi

Hi,
Since Outlook works fine in safe mode, you can also try to open Outlook with
/safe:1 and /safe:3 commands to narrow down the cause.
/safe:1 Starts Outlook with the Reading Pane off.
/safe:3 Both native and managed Component Object Model (COM) add-ins are turned off.
Please also try to open Outlook with /resetnavpane command to check if this issue is caused by corrupted Navigation Pane settings. To do this, press Windows key + R to open the Run command, type
outlook.exe /resetnavpane and press Enter.
If above not working, please try to use the Inbox Repair Tool to scan and repair your Outlook data file errors to check the result. See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-in/outlook-help/repair-outlook-data-files-pst-and-ost-HA102749454.aspx?CTT=1
In addition, you can try to uninstall these updates to check if Outlook will work, so that we can determine if this issue is caused by released updates.

After upgrading to Windows 8.1 I could not get a ethernet connection using the
Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30) with a Pluglink PL9650-ETH ethernet device.
The Pluglink device was supplied by ATT uverse and has worked with no problem whit this computer and Windows7-8.
I can connect using the wi-fi connection.
The "hardwire" ethernet connection says a cable is unplugged. Any ideas?

Hello @macenv,
Unfortunately, there are no drivers for your Atheros Network Controller on a system running Windows 8.1. I would recommend you try Atheros to see if they have anything that will work for you, but as it stands the HP Pavilion 500-164 Desktop PC Drivers does not have any Ethernet drivers listed for your computer. You can try going to Atheros and see if they have any Windows 8.1 drivers for you Ethernet.
I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Hp Pavilion dv7, synaptics pointing device not scrolling after windows 10

After upgrading to windows 10 my mouse will not scroll. I have updated the driver, no help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no help. I rolled back the driver, no help, I reupdated the driver no help, I deleted the whole synaptics system and redownloaded it from their website no help, reupdate the driver again, no help. I then went on to live help....the technician did an update again....no help. I went onto live help again and technician did a system clean/repair from the command prompt, no help (I then gave up with live help) and yes the vertical scrolling option is ticked in the settings. PLEASE can someone help me.

You don't need to be in Windows to mark the D:\Recovery partition Active. Just boot with a utility cd with the disk management capability. If you don't have one_Scroll down on the page and get>> Bootable CD If you don't have a burning app that can burn an ISO to cd get>> ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd-a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is> Here. Once created, boot from it.
Btw-have you tried booting from his Vista Recovery DVD? With the first disc in the CD/DVD drive power on the laptop and immediately tap Esc to bring up the menu. Then tap F9 Boot options. Use the arrow key to move down & highlight the Optical drive then tap Enter key. (No key is needed with Recovery DVDs)

VN7-791G bluetooth devices not working after Windows 10 upgrade

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my 2 month old Acer VN7-791G, my Logitech bluetooth mouse could not pair, my bluetooth speakers could not pair and neither could by Nexus 7. All these devices were working fine on Win 8.1 earlier. Under Device Manager, only the generic Windows Bluetooth, Microsoft Bluetooth Enumerator and LE Enumerator drivers were showing (dated 21/6/2006). Under Network adapters, the driver showing was the Qualcomm Atheros QCA64x4 ver 10.0.0.62 dated 18/5/2015. I checked that this model is indeed compatible under ACER's website for Windows 10. I have also been checking the ACER drivers for Win 10 for this model but there are no new updated ones for Bluetooth. I downloaded the Win 8.1 ones and installed them but they still would not work (the Microsoft ones are still showing under Device Manager). I had to actually downgrade back to 8.1 a few days ago due to this issue but thought I would try to update to Windows 10 again hoping it would work but still no luck. I had googled but can't seem to find a solution and suspect that I need an updated bluetooth driver for Windows 10 from Acer or Broadcom. The Atheros website do not have any Windows 10 bluetooth drivers as well. I may have to downgrade again and try again in a few months time unless someone could please point me in the right direction. Thank you.

Yay! Success at last! Well, I had to resort to drastic measures which I was dreading and delaying. Basically, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 Then Reset PC to Factory Setting. This wiped out all data and applications/programs After getting back to default Windows 8.1, I tried pairing my bluetooth mouse and it worked I then immediately installed Windows 10 (from ISO file downloaded earlier) off a USB stick I chose the option for a clean install (this doesn't load any of the ACER bloatware) Once logging into Windows 10,I went into Device Manager and uninstalled all Bluetooth drivers Then I ran the setup for the Windows 8.1 Atheros bluetooth drivers as suggested - "LITE-ON Bluetooth_M 3rd WiFi 2x2 AC+ BT M.2 QCA NFA344_3.0.0.373_W81x64" I tried pairing my mouse and Nexus 7 and it works!!! For reference, here is my setup under Windows 10 after successfully pairing bluetooth devices. btw, interesting to see that the event log still reports some error about further installation just like earlier - probably indicates that the Win 8.1 Acer drivers are not 100% compatible yet.

Device not found after system update

After running a system upate from 10.4.0 to 10.4.11, Final Cut Pro no longer finds my camera at startup. Refreshing device in FCP does nothing. I tried installing the Pro updates, deleting preferences, and repairing permissions. The camera is found in iMovie and System Profiler, so it's not a hardware issue. If I need to downgrade the OS, to what version, and how do I update from 10.4.0 to something other than 10.4.11?

Ya know? They have such a bad rap generally with their interface with FCP that I shy away from using them... Sony cameras seem to always work, as do Panasonic units... can't say I know more than that, but Apple has tested many cameras and there is a list of what device control setting to use here: http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/resources/devicelist.php#results If you search with all, canon, all... you'll see the basic setting is pretty much every camera in every version of FCP with few exceptions.
I think the bad rap comes from the timecode signals recorded with them.. they seem to be weak enough that many times FCP reports a break in timecode where there really isn't one... Can't say why, but if you just search this forum on "Canon" you'll find a lot of problems with the interface with FCP. Been that way for years too.
If you're really going to go through a revert, I'd suggest you go all the way and reformat the startup disk and install it all again.. might use another drive for this and keep your current setup. That's what I've been doing for quite some time now, and it lets me "ease" into new OS's and versions of software that way. Also allows me to setup beta startup disks for beta testing that I do for a bunch of folk.

Hard drives not detected after bios update

Hello
K7T Turbo 2 kt133a
I bought a new chip a while back and therefore updated my bios.
My system has worked on and off for a while now, however i have not been able to get it to boot for 2 days.
I have tried bios version 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6, the same thing in all cases.
So i decided that the problem was not the bios, but my IDE cable, so i installed another one, still no had drives!!
even when my first hard drive is recognized and the system boots, the secon hard drive isn never detected.
What do I do now???
Dude I think i migh just have to order a dell.......
Any help would be great
thanks

Access 2010: ListBox (Forms 2.0) not working after Windows Update

After one of the updates attached was installed the following VBA-Code line causes an error on Windows 7 using Access 2010:
Me.lbCountries.AddItem rst("Country")
lbCountries is a ListBox (Forms 2.0) using
class: Forms.ListBox.1
OLE: Microsoft Forms 2.0
MultiSelect: Multi
ListStyle: Option
The code is still working using Win8 (x64) and Access 2013. On Win7 (x32) and Access 2010 the following error is displayed:
„Object doesn't support this property or method“
(Error Code 438)
After manual deinstallation of the mentioned updates the VBA-code executes as expected. ListBox seems to be unusable after one of the updates. All other workarounds trying to fill the ListBox cause the same error.
Fast Help is very appreciated.

Hi,
Would you please to tell us which KB caused this issue? As far as I know, after installing
MS14-082 (part of December 2014 Public Updates for Office) you might get the error run-time
error '438': Object doesn't support this property or method, when clicking on the enable content button.
If you have installed MS14-082, please try to install the hotfixs that released in the March 2015:
