Problem Report and Solutions
I have a few question marks in device manager due to hardware, and I have maybe 5 issues which explains a solution. But if I follow the help it gives, I think I am getting the run-around, going in circles. I used to have a new! text and had the ability to click and start the download, but the new! is gone, and when I directly click it now won't start again. The first time of this second install when I directly clicked it started a download, but because it stalled I cancelled it. Because it was the first time I think it was when the new! went away. I have followed the instructions and alowed hidden and everything, but the same problems and solutions won't go away, and I can't make it start. The 3am settings that it defaulted to I haven't changed, and last night was the first time it went past 3am, but both the computer and I were shut down at that time. It has been on for a couple hours now, the 2nd day, but the problems are still there. The first time I clicked it knew what to do, and started to download the drivers and fix whatever.
How do I get it to do anything again to fix it?
btw, this is the second time in a few days that I have installed this os on this computer entirely and the first time it was just on a single ATA100 HDD, this time was on 2 Raptors in RAID0, the only change. Neither time did I auto register on connect, and have not specifically done that yet. I did enter the Serial number for this Vista Home Premium full retail product. The first time I installed I think it did fix all these things that it hasn't this time. It says contact Lexmark for support, for instance. Is it because its a third party problem, and I have a limited number of free automatic redirections? I just can't get it to do anything manually, and setting shaven't helped, so far. I would much rather persist in doing it this way, cuz i know it can fix it this way, if it wants, rather than go to each website by myself, and take a chance with a huge handfull of drivers and apps, and hope it works.
Why won't it work?
I haven't learned how to make all the settings yet, but would changing daily checks during hours the computer be on (like now) allow everything to work
