Computer help forum: PC Checkup Scan

Downloaded driver.When I ran it,started to install,then stopped and said:This computer
does not meet the minimum requirements for installing this software.I did the F12 Diagnostics.Everything passed.

Been about a year.Been cleaned once,6 mos. after I got it.Cleaned my last one once a year,and it lasted 9 years.
That's what I'll do next.Air can time.Thanks for the reminders,Bob.They DO help.Thanks,Manpreet_C.Gonna clean it,and see what's up then.I'll post again.Not overly concerned,but wanna take care of my investment.Thanks.

Was clean as a pin,but I aired it anyway.Tried the things Manpreet suggested,AGAIN.
Same result.The one driver that it calls urgent,will not install(reason above post).

I see the drive test failed but can't find the driver issue you write about now.

Let's bottom line this. If the drive fails, try a new drive cable, then a new drive.

If it's a driver issue, you would not be having a Windows install issue as drivers come later.
Bob

Thank you for the response,

If the F12 diagnostics have passed, the hard drive is functioning properly. If the test fails to start in PC Checkup scan only, you can try to update the drivers from the manufacturer's website.
Here is the link for Drivers update.
Select f6flpy-x86_11.0.0.1032.zip file if the operating system version is 32-Bit.
Select f6flpy-x64_11.0.0.1032.zip file if the operating system version is 64-Bit.

As suggested by Bob correctly, cleaning the air vents will certainly help.

Hope this helps.
Please reply if you have any further questions.

Thanks and Regards,
Manpreet C

Clicked on your link,downloaded zip file.I unzip it,and there are several files.Don't know what to do with them,to install.Nothing I click on tells me anything.Sorry,but guess I'm ignorant about this particular situation.

Sorry for the delayed response.

Try this link for drivers update and select the file STOR_Win7_XP_11.0.0.1032_PV.exe.
1. Click Download>> select 'I accept the terms in the license agreement' and the file download will initiate.
2. Save the file to the Desktop>> right-click file and select 'Run as Administrator'>> click 'Yes' or 'Continue' to the User access control.
3. Click 'Install' button when the window shown in the image appears: Image
4. A few files will be extracted. Click 'Yes' or 'Continue' to User Access Control for Setup.exe
5. Click 'Next' on the prompt; refer to the image.
6. Click 'Yes' on the License Agreement window: Image
7. Click 'Next' on Setup progress. Refer to the image
8. Select 'Yes, I want to restart this computer now' and click Finish. Refer to the image.

Once the computer has finished rebooting, try to run PC Checkup.

Do write back with the results.

I go to link,download to desktop.It is a winzip file.When I unzip,there is a folder with 8 items in it.I click on the folder (with the 8 items inside the folder),and there is NO option to run as admin.Just says open.when I open the folder there are the 8 items.I click on each,and none say run as admin.I'm RIGHT clicking on all this,btw,(duh).Your pics make it look so simple,but when I right click on the folder there is no option to run as admin.Don't think I missed anything.Sorry to be so much trouble.I'm at a loss.I am NOT that computer illiterate,trust me.

Why? Because taking a shotgun to an ailing machine could finish the job.

Thanks for tip Mr. Topper,but I have to agree w/Bob.ComboFix seems like a last resort.My comp. is running fine.It's just when I run PC Checkup Scan by Dell,the Targeted Read Test says:This part of scan didn't run,because module failed to start.May never harm,cause F12 Diagnostics all show FINE.Just trying to tie up a loose end.Thanks again to all.!!

Thank you for the response.

The folder should have these files listed: Image
In the folder, look for the 'setup' file with 'Application' type and '447KB' size.
Double-click it and this window should appear after which you can try the installation: Image

Moreover, if you use internet explorer to download the file, instead of saving the file, run it.
If you have WinZip application installed on the computer, try Winrar and check if it shows the WinRAR self-extracting archive window.

If possible, could you please post some images of the 8 files listed in the folder?

Hope this helps.
Do write back with the results.

Downloaded winrar 64.when I unzip,files are totally different than yours.Couldn't get a picture(one line at a time).My files are:F6 readme,iaahci,iaAHCI,iastor,iaStor,iaStor.sys,license,TXTSETUP.No matter what I click on,there is NO run as option.You can quit whenever you want.It's out of hand.I understand.Thanks for everything,especially your time.!!

Thank you for the response. I assure you that I will try to get this issue fixed as soon as possible.
You might have downloaded the previous zip file f6flpy-x86_11.0.0.1032.zip which has all the files(F6 readme,iaahci,iaAHCI,iastor,iaStor,iaStor.sys,license,TXTSETUP) listed in the zip folder.

The file that you need to download is STOR_Win7_XP_11.0.0.1032_PV.exe

Once you have downloaded STOR_Win7_XP_11.0.0.1032_PV.exe file, follow the aforementioned instructions and let me know if it works.

Please revert for any clarification

Thanks and Regards,

Try to update the BIOS.
Before flashing the BIOS please check the following:

Click on 'Get Driver'>> click "Continue'>> Click 'Continue, Yes' on User Account control if prompted>>Click 'Continue' on the Application prompt>> Click 'OK' on Select the folder where you want to unzip the files to (Make a note of the folder location)>> Click 'Yes' on the next prompt for folder does not exist>> Click "OK' on All files were successfully unzipped. >> If the installation wizard does not appear, go to the folder location>> select the Setup file >> Right-click and select 'Run as Administrator">>Follow the installation wizard instructions. The computer will reboot after this update. Try the download again.
