After Windows 7 OK?

I bought my Presario Compaq three years ago and, as soon as POSSIBLE, upgraded from Vista to Windows 7.   Everything has been pretty good until today when I get a message that my Windows 7 is not genuine.   I followed the guide and entered the correct codes details and told me that it is authentic, after all.   However, among other things (probably), suddenly my wallpaper screen become black and Customization Options went virtually out of action, be gray.   What I have done or failed to do?

These changes are expected when Windows is reported as being "non-genuine". When you re-entered your product key WIndows and responsive Windows, it should allow you again to customize your wallpaper and customize your computer. If Windows is still displayed as 'Authentic', it may be as simple as restarting the computer to reset these options.

  • Good question after Windows update on Satellite P100 PSPA3E

    I encountered a problem with my sound card after a Windows Update. It became an old analog tuner with problems of dust on his volume knob. (this is a reference "sounds like" for those old enough to remember) I updated the driver to the most recent DriverGuide.com, no joy.

    I even did a complete system restore "with the"product restore disk."" Which fixed the problem until Windows updated the right files for trash again. I don't know what files do the dirty on my card since most of the windows system updates are performed while I "continue to work! Anyone with ideas?

    Thank you

    JD

    Hello

    What operating system do you use? XP or Vista?

    Satellite P100 PSPA3E must use a sound chip Intel high definition audio Conexant CX20551-22.

    I recommend to remove the sound card in Device Manager after installing Windows updates.
    Then restart the computer and install the latest audio drivers available that support the sound chip HD Conexant CX20551-22.

    First of all, you should try to use the driver for the Toshiba page. If this does not work, check the Intel page!
    Please don t forget to restart the laptop after windows update finished.

  • HP deskjet 3510 does not work after windows 8.1

    My printer HP Deskjet 3510 cannot be detected after windows 8.1.  My computer is a HP Pavilion g6. Now, I would never, I clicked to install, I wish they would send me just windows 7. Laughing out loud

    @klb75,.

    Thanks for posting.

    The cardinal rule of when something does not work after update to 8.1 is put it back in place. This applies to the printing software and all other software. Uninstall from the control panel configuration, programs and features. Then, restart the computer.

    After that, download and install this software: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=al-108718-3&cc=ca&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4158&product=5157483&sw_lang=

    * Thus, before installing the software, disable all Firewall/antivirus software. This software can create conflicts with the printer software.

    If reinstalling it does not help, run print and scan doctor. He could fix it... http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=CA&LC=en&JumpID=ex_r4155/HHO/IPG/ccdoc/printer_diag/&softwareitem=MP-135113-1

  • Windows XP PC freezes after Windows Update November 11. 2009.

    Our two identical Dell Vostro 410 PCs with installed WindowsXP SP3 image no longer work correctly after Windows Installer update yesterday (Wednesday 11. November. They will work in Mode without failure. However, mode normal, we get after the opening screen session and during the major part of the process is started, then the hourglass stays on for a time abnormally long. If we let the PC in this State for 5-10 minutes ago all of a sudden a beep and the computer freezes. A soft reboot is impossible at this stage, therefore, turn off the machine. No idea what could be the cause this problem and how to fix it?

    Initial reports indicate that it affects Windows XP systems with an ATI Radeon HD 2400 card.

    Solution: uninstall the update after the start in safe mode, driver ATI upgrade to the latest version (9.1, published on 22/10/2009), and then reapply MS09-065/969947

    Try it, report back.

  • Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

    It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
    I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

    I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

    Hi dabaum77,

    From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

     
    Access the link below
    Follow these steps to disable the automatic updates:
     
    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. in the left pane, click on change settings.
    3. under important updates, choose the option you want.
    4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

    You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.
     
    Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
     
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
       
    2. click on the link to view update history.
      
    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    (B) click on close when finished.
     
     
    You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
     
    1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
     

    2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
     

     
    3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
     

     
    4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
     

     
    5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
     


    6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.

  • Blue screen after windows xp update...

    I got the blue screen now well documented after windows xp update. I'm away on business and so unable to make my records at home. My question is without the disk is there a way I can fix it the laptop? Microsoft took 3 days to order discs and now tell me it might take 7 to 10 days so that they arrive. Not really customer service.

    Anyone has any ideas, is there something that you can download? or is there a fix on the Web site?

    Thank you
