"Device Requires Further Installation" Issue!
flashh4 replied to Russell18's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
Howdy Russell18 and welcome to BestTechie forums ! The number one fix for this is usually a bad driver ! So let's start there. 1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, inside the text box, type “dvmgmt.msc” and press Enter to open up Device Manager. If prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), click Yes to grant admin privileges, Once you’re inside Device Manager, right-click on the device that is causing the issue and choose Properties from the newly appeared context menu. Inside the properties screen, select the Events tab, then go over to the Events section. -
Update on Windows 11, the tool to run to install Windows 11 was taken down about 3 weeks ago ! So it will not be released to the public until later this year ! Chuck

Can you have two antivirus programs.

hpg3, you are welcome !! -

flashh4 replied to hpg3's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
hpg3, so says weboot that Webroot and Norton don't interfere with each other. There is no system slowdown and the system is just slightly slower as if using Norton alone (of course the lightest config is using Webroot only). ... Webroot and Norton play very nice together. No interaction or issues have been encountered Webroot is competitive, but Norton is the better choice as it offers more security-enhancing features and utilities in its security products. Also, independent tests prove that Norton is better than Webroot in terms of both malware detection and the impact on system performance. -

Howdy hpg3, no most antivirus do not play together nicely ! Some will even report the other as a virus ! Norton is a far better antivirus than weeboot but Norton is also a resource hog ! Why are you still using W7 when a lot of the programs will not have support like drivers & some will stop working altogether ??? You can get a free Windows 10 install if your computer will run it !!

Need A Reputed Website Blocker For Google Chrome
flashh4 replied to Marvin Moore's topic in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP
Howdy Marvin Moore & welcome to the forum, we jhope you enjoy your stay here & contribute to our community ! In my opinion you should learn to use a different browser to start with, Mozilla (fire fox) is my main browser which you can block these unwanted web sites & also the new Edge from Microsoft you can also block them ! Plus there is a blocker called AbBlock that can be used to block them also which i use ! It use to be that Google Chrome was easy to hack, so i stopped using it long ago so i'm not sure on that now since they have re-modified it ! Chuck -
Howdy Mikegold & welcome to the forums ! First off i'm not sure of what the identical issue. You are pointing to !! Also the IE browser is being replaced by the "Edge" so maybe you should try it !! They have also done a lot of work in upgrading & fixing problems they use to have with the Chrome Browser ! Which i do not use anymore but i use The Edge, Mozilla (firefox) !! Chuck

Good for you Jeff ! Got our 2nd Moderna on the 16th Feb. Made my wife's arm swell a little & she wanted to sleep a lot till next day then she was fine, mine swelled up a bit but not anymore than a flue shot but i did have a nasty head ache all day, but Tylenol took care of it & now everything is fine !!
