What it does is checks all your Directx driver files for sound and video for WHQL signatures (Windows Hardware Quality Labs) If a driver is not signed by microsoft it will be rejected by Windows. Gone are the days of XP and telling windows use the file anyway. Something is corrupted possibly. Looking at your other posts, you might have a Hard drive about to take a dump or malware of somesort. If you are able check S.M.A.R.T status of your Hard Drive look for errors and life left if it lists it Think New Hard drive for Windows 10 if you are upgrading, fortunately they are dirt cheap for both Platter/Hybrid HD and SSD right now hxtr and BigPapaDean 2 Awards

I believe if I wasn't going to install Win 10 tomorrow I would simply uninstall Yahoo messenger and then reinstall it but I do not want to install it twice in 2 days. Today has been rather interesting and I found out bundles are being installed whether you give permission or not. I have spent the last 4 hours dealing with the same group of shit browser hackers and finally got it under control but now my browsing is damned slow again. No worries tho tomorrow I will reformat to a clean install of Win 10! Labob 1 Awards

Make sure the other checkboxes are unchecked unless you are using a proxy....if you ask, what's a proxy, the answer is no proxy being used Close IE and any browsers you have open and reopen whatever it is you are using and look for improvement, if it doesn't help go back and put the checkbox how it was originally. You haven't recently uninstalled/installed over the top of Norton's internet security or antivirus have you? Nortons is well known for wrecking internet capabilities when you uninstall it.

If you have an OEM edition of 7/8/8.1, you need to do an in-place upgrade which converts your OEM license to a Retail license and wait till Microsoft releases the ISO. You can move a Retail license to another machine (or a rebuild, like a new motherboard/processor/memory) but an OEM license is just for a single computer. Johnny3Time and BigPapaDean 2 Awards

I don't think you can do a clean install without a key, meaning you would have to upgrade get the key then do a clean install. Awards
