Windows: how do I update the device driver for my video/display adapter?

Installed video drivers may not always support the functionality of the latest Flash Player. If Flash Player does not function correctly, updating the video drivers to the latest available version is one of the first steps to try. Below are instructions how to update the video drivers on Windows systems.
identify the manufacturer and type of your video card
open Device Manager: Start | Run | enter devmgmt.msc
open the Display Adapters drop-down; this will show you the installed video card:
identify the device driver version
right-click on your display adapter entry and select Properties
click on the Driver tab; this will show you the driver version and date:
go to the device manufacturer's support site and download the latest driver
NVIDIA cards: NVIDIA driver download page, or auto-detect
ATI cards: ATI driver download page, or auto-detect
Intel cards: Intel driver download page, or auto-detect
Matrox cards: Matrox driver download page
VIA cards: VIA Arena driver download page (redirects to 3rd-party download site)
SiS cards: SiS driver download page, or auto-detect
S3 cards: S3 driver download page, or auto-detect (option 2 on the download page)
follow the instructions on the manufacturer's support site
Note: some of the auto-detect utilities linked above will only run on Internet Explorer.

Changing SSL Cert, how do you update the trust profile for devices.

I am in the process of changing out the ssl cert for the trust profile (going from a self-signed to a signed cert). How do you update the trust profile on the devices already paired with the server.

Yes, the linked smart object can be either raster or vector, but they will be placed as raster images, just as the embedded SO are. SO can be embedded or linked to an outside file. Edits to the original will not update in the original until you select "Update modified content from the menu" when you reopen the file that has the place SO in it. otherwise it will update when you save the linked file. Yes, there still is an advantage to having an embedded SO. You may not want to maintain the links - send a file off and forget to include the linked files. You may want to alter the SO, but not the original file.
Ah, thanks. But does this mean that raster and vector smart objects can EITHER be located within the Photoshop file (as they have been since their advent) OR linked to an external file?
And if so,
1. Can this linked file be either raster or vector?
2. Do edits to it automatically update the Photoshop file?
3. Is ther any longer any advantage to having the smart object data stored within the Photoshop file when it can be linked?

How do I install the jdbc driver for sql server 2005, in sql developer 4.0 ?

Hallo together
I need access to tables in a MS SQL Server 2005 database.
One possibility is the JDBC driver.
How do i install this driver ?
Thank you very much for your postings.

Hi,
This is from the documentation -
Database: Third Party JDBC Drivers
The Third Party JDBC Drivers pane specifies drivers to be used for connections to third-party (non-Oracle) databases, such as IBM DB2, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Sybase Adaptive Server. (You do not need to add a driver for connections to Microsoft Access databases.) To add a driver, click Add Entry and select the path for the driver:
For Microsoft SQL Server or Sybase Adaptive Server: jtds-1.2.jar, which is included in the jtds-1.2-dist.zip download
To find a specific third-party JDBC driver, see the appropriate website (for example, http://www.mysql.com for the MySQL Connector/J JDBC driver for MySQL, http://jtds.sourceforge.net/ for the jTDS driver for Microsoft SQL Server and Sybase Adaptive Server, or search at http://www.teradata.com/ for the JDBC driver for Teradata). For MySQL, use the MySQL 5.0 driver, not 5.1 or later, with SQL Developer release 1.5.
You must specify a third-party JDBC driver or install a driver using the Check for Updates feature before you can create a database connection to a third-party database of that associated type. (See the tabs for creating connections to third-party databases in the Create/Edit/Select Database Connection dialog box.)
Alternative:
As an alternative to using this preference, you can click Help, then Check for Updates to install the JTDS JDBC Driver for Microsoft SQL Server and the MySQL JDBE Driver as extensions.
Regards,
Mike

How do I get the device context for a printer inwindows

I need to know the device context for the printer that a user has
selected via a print dialog box. This is the hDC property for the
selected printer. The Windows common dialog control (which I'm
assuming Forte is using) has a property for this but it doesn't seem to
be a property that I can get from the PrintOptionsDesc that is returned
via Forte's PrintDialog method. Is this possible? Any suggestions?
Thanks for any and all help.

Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37) for Ipod Nano

I have a Ipod Nano for 5 years and Saturday I was updating the latest Itunes and when I connect my Ipod to my PC I got a Code 37 error. I uninstalled the new itunes and put back the old itunes but my Ipod is still having the same error. I did the same thing to unistall the ipod and itunes reboot the PC and installed itunes 10.7 back in and then my Ipod and still have the error. Then last night I tried out my Ipod Shuffle and connect it to my PC and it was installed successfully. Do I have to get a new Ipod if my nano isn't working (but it still plays)?

How do i install the newest driver for audigy 2 z

i downloaded the newest driver and tryed to install it. it says "setup did not detect the set of required compents you have. setup wil now exit" what do i need to install the latest and greatest dri've other than the card itself?

I had the exact same problem updating the drivers for my Audigy 2 Platinum EX, but I think I managed to solve the problem. This was quite awhile ago, but I think I remember how I got it to work.
First of all, which update did you download? The "Digital Rights Management" driver update was the one giving me that problem, and this was after installing the main drivers and programs from my Audigy 2 CD. But, I think the reason why it gives this message is because you need to install one of the other driver updates first, then install this DRM update. Look under the driver details and it says the following:
"<EM>Requirements</EM>:
Microsoft? Windows? XP Service Pack 2 or Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 </LI>
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 or Audigy 2 ZS series internal audio device </LI>
<EM>EAX 4.0 ADVANCED HD Driver Patch Update for Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS (released on 29 March, 2004) installed, or Sound Blaster Audigy 2 and Audigy 2 ZS Driver Update (released on 29 July, 2004) installed</EM>."</LI>
Strangely enough, it appears this update requires you install an older driver update first (EAX4DRV_AUDIGY2__84_50.exe) then afterwards try running the Digital Rights Management update.
I think this is right, but I'm not 00% sure.

HT1338 How do I update the Operating System for my MacBook Pro?

I currently have OS version 10.5.8. I can't get the proper plug-ins for Flash anymore because my Mac OS is too old. I've tried updating the OS, but it will not let me install it. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
         See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
     For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

How do you update the image used for your podcast?

I just recently updated the logo for my podcast and want to know how to alter the one shown on iTunes. I use hipcast to host my podcasts and it tends to update my info on iTunes when I change it via hipcast but does not seem to be working for my pic.

Make the new image - it should be 1400 x 1400 px - and make sure to give it a different file name from the existing image, or the iTunes Store, which caches the image, won't know it's been changed.
Upload it to your server and change the URL in the feed, or make the change by whatever method you used to enter the original in Hipcast.
It's likely to take the iTunes Store quite some days to update the image, so don't panic if it doesn't update at once.

How do I get the ODBC driver for 8.05 Solaris?

Hi,
Where can I get the Oracle ODBC driver
for 8.05 on Solaris? I'm trying to use the
JDBC bridge, but can't find the drivers.
Do you have a small example using the bridge?
null

I assume you want an ODBC driver to actually use on the Solaris
box, not one that runs say on Windows and connects To Solaris...
Intersolv (www.intersolv.com) has a data-direct set of drivers,
and I believe they have one for Solaris.
