i know im randomly asking but does anybody know of a method to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Konnor Westley thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Rhett Keagan you are welcome xD
ignore these guys above me ^^^^^^^
You really rescued me Dave from a long hassle on which I spent so many hours. I solved my problem through microsoft website. Keep doing such videos. People need such genuine help. much love and support.
I'm a year late but just getting into "getting the best out of your pc" lifestyle and thus video earned you a sub. Gonna look for other tips after this.
very clean video my friend.. to the point, visual, and well done. I can not understand how anyone gave this a dislike at all. thank you for sharing. 👍🏾
Omg I love your voice, it is very clear and your instructions were absolutely easy to understand, this is by far the best tutorial I have watched, totally subscribing
I am starting out on my computer journey. Learning jargon and slowly getting to grips with how to operate the computer. Its an ACER Aspire C24-960_W. I have spent hours trying to find help. Today, thank you Dave' s Tech Rescue I have found someone who speaks clearly, confidentially and knows what he is talking about. A real expert. Thank you very much.
......don't feel scared pal, we were all like you some day. If a kid can do it, you too can do it. I was mortally scared many years back but now a pro. Before you know it you will be as confident as ever. The Internet is full of learning resources, a challenge and fun too. Enjoy the adventure.
This couldn’t have been more perfect. Bang on buddy. No fluff, just the information straightforward.
Well done Dave. A little background in my case. I have been working with Window's since Version 3.0 (yeah I am old). I have obtained my MCSE (Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer) and my MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) along with at least 13 other certifications, my point is I know of what I speak. You are very good at this...if you do not have your certs, get after em I think you would make a great MCT...I have hired a lot of them less talented than you are. Just thought I would toss that out there. I came here because of a crazy issue I am having with a Bluetooth Audio issue that has stumped me. Oh...with your MCSE and MCT (not sure what they are called now a days) you can make a VERY comfortable living, if your good at it, and you seem to be. Good luck.. and well done.
dam , nice speach
@@hacked2813 "speach" lol
Excellent instruction video. Clear and precise. Well done.
Thanks to you. I mean it. It took me 3 full days to figure out what was wrong with my windows 10 update from 8.1. I came to know it were the graphic drivers which created the problems, but wasn't able to fix it by traditional updating and from AMD website. I finally was successfull by going through your steps in which you asked to go to laptop's manufacturer's website. I downloaded the given driver graphics and that fixed my problem. Thanks again. :)
Thanks for this great video. I also have Hp Spectre x360 and was having some troubles with sound and windows so I had to reset it and was worried about the drivers update. But your video helped a lot. But the Hp Support software fails to download Hp Cool Sense on its own and it isn't showing in my pc. Do I have to download it separately?
My God man, the simplest explanation out there, thank you 😍😍😍
Excellent videos. So easy to follow and understand. Wish you were still making them.
man, u re damn good. i d listen to ur tutorials and stuff without even needing to. gj!
Thanks Dave, I have just discovered your channel. Too bad I didn't find you earlier.
Hi! I also have an HP computer, how do I find the " Round blue icon with a ? mark? Thank you.

Amazing video so clear and straight forward I love that, thank you
Excellent. Very clear and easy to follow. Thank you.
So informative, always helpful. Easy to understand, like it
Dave, thanks that was very helpful and easy to understand
Hi Dave, I know this video is quite old but I was wondering if maybe you could help me with an issue I have after doing driver updates. I was having problems updating to windows 10 version 2004, it kept rolling back at around 80% installation and I thought it was possibly a driver issue so I stupidly downloaded a free driver updater and ran it. After it finished " updating my drivers " I soon realised that it actually installed some older drivers than the ones I already had which caused my USB 3.1 ( Red x 4 ) and my built in bluetooth device to stop working. My PC sees them but does not recognise the devices, im also not able to roll back as I didnt have a backup at the time. In device manager, both these devices are showing as " unknow device ", I have even done a fresh install of windows 10 ( which ironically automatically updated to version 2004 ) but still my PC says unknowm device. I was wondering if removing the bios battery and putting it back in might help or if there is another way to get these 2 devices recognised by windows again?
Thanks
Rich
Thank you, Dave - you're my 'Knight in Shining Armour'! Sorted!!

I need ur help . My hp lap top screen monitor suddenly started mixing colors . Everything went blur so what should i do to recover it
Yes very helpful. Thanks for the info! I needed it. I almost did what you said would be the worst way! So, thank you very much.
After update driver from the folder in desktop do i need to delete the folder of just keep it like that?
This is helpful. I want to manage the driver's myself. Does Windows Update usually replace my installed driver? Also, are driver's stored in System32/Drivers? So when I install a driver, is it copied to System32/Drivers?
Fala aíparabéns e muito obrigado você explicou bem detalhadamente foi muito aproveitadora a aula
Aprovado !
Very comprehensive. Thanks!
I was thinking of using "Easy Driver" but you seem to advise otherwise.
What should I do, I'm not able to use mics on my PC.
Neither wired nor bluetooth(except for recording in voice recorder)
I've think I've tried the first two methods.
Dave, great info however, like the rest of the world due to covid 19 I'm now on zoom all the time. But I cant change my 'interactive' background. I've updated the drivers - is there something I'm missing?

Im using nitro 5 and i think i got some drivers uninstalled, i check in cite but i dont see more info to read about and i dont see warning icon in device managed too, so how i can be sure i have it or i dont?
I'm having trouble. A driver was installed that is causing issues but I don't have a rollback button, so im attempting to "update" it to the old driver i had via the Microsoft Update Catalog method, but it will not install it saying "The best drivers for your device are already installed". Is there any way to get around this?
I am reinstalling W10 as your other videos. But on installation I am being told a driver is missing. Is there any way forward in finding which driver it is and then loading it? Many thanks.
On Microsoft web side (Catalog) on the large list that shows How do I know what is the right driver for my pc?
Hi sir, can you help m when I try to update drivers it doesn't let me at all and I tried all your advice the drivers are from 2012 to 2013 so it might be that it is too old 😥

Hi reinstalled my windows 10 on my Dell computer due to a failed windows update using a USB thumb drive. I successfully recovered my PC but I’m having trouble with the Wi-Fi network adapter. At first it would show no networks available Afterwords you cannot even find the Wi-Fi icon anywhere in the system and the troubleshooter said the wireless services is not running. When I try to enable it it gives me an error message 1068. My Wi-Fi driver is up-to-date. Does this mean my Wi-Fi network adapter is bad? I just need to know so that I could proceed with a new Wi-Fi network adapter Or if it’s software related repair the software
saw your video on usb windows 10 install but when I get to the screen that asks where to install windows nothing is listed no matter what I try.
Thanks Dave excellent info worked first time

Soon as I unplug charger the laptop goes dead. Please help if you have a solution. Thanks.

Dave Hi, I’m Gillette, you are seriously good at what you do. I have an issue, a program was installed on my desk top and I don’t know where to fix it. It has a shortcut which I use to open it, it shows do you want this program to make changes to your computer I’d say yes and it disappears. I would like to see the whole program on my screen when I open it up. How do I correct that problem! What is your fee and do you do remote help? Regards,

Hello mate.
I have a laptop, with a faulty screen. So i need a external screen/tv.
I updated my graphic driver, and afterwards, i cant see anything because there is no signal between the laptop, and tv (HDMI)
Many videos show, how one can reset several things, but you need a screen for everything.
Do you have any idea, how this can be sorted, without a screen?
Very helpful! Thank you!!!
Dave I have tried everything in my power to update my laptop and nothing seems to work,
I will try your solutions to see if they work. Thanks for the info.
