Troubleshoot All Problems With This
by Chris West, Chr

Complete one by one, and restart your computer after every section to get slightly higher chance of success.

Simple Solutions (most common problems)
- Check that all of the cables are plugged INTO THE RIGHT SPOT, and PUSHED IN WELL
- Find the site for your devices manufacturer (dell.com, nvidia.com, ati.com, etc) find and access the search bar/feature in their site and enter your model number / part number. Once you find the download page for your device, save the driver files to your computer. Install the new driver file. If an auto-install pops up, you can figure the rest out.

How To for harder problems, estimated 30 min for all 4:

Disable all virus scanners/programs that run in the backround after every restart.

Plan A
Open My Computer and double click the driver file you downloaded. An install window starts and extracts its files to a place on your computer C:xxxxxxxxxxdrivers for example. Make sure you write it down, and WATCH CLOSE -It may automatically start the install; otherwise we do it manually in Plan B
-Follow the install, finish it out, and restart your computer. Check your problem.

Plan B (if plan A didnt work)
- Click>Start>Run C:xxxxxxxxxxxxdrivers where that location is where the extracted files went.
- Find the drivers install file (setup.exe, install.exe, [etc].exe)
- Start and complete the install. Restart when done. See if problem is gone

Plan C(if plan B didnt work)
- Right click My Computer>Properties
- In the Hardware tab, go to Device Manager
- Find your troubled device in the sub-lists in the window
- once found, right click, and update driver.
- install it from a list
- check "include this location in the search" C:xxxxxxxxxxxxdrivers (extracted files location u wrote down)
- click next.
- If found, check your problem, and if not, move on.

Plan D (Last chance!!!)
- In Device Manager, find your problem device
- right click, update driver
- yes, connect to windows at this time
- follow the menu, restart and see if problem is gone.

If still broken, your problem is beyond the capability of this article.
