Can you help me? Switch to Vista SP2 or not?
Hey guys,.
I just bought this refurbished laptop HP Pavilion dv7 - 1273cl. It came with Vista SP1 downloaded on and I started getting this error message "HP Media Smart TV resident program has stopped working" whenever I start. Then after a month I started to receive a lot of errors of Internet Explorer crashing to which I have simply ignored. Then the screen kept flashing and I would get an error from the NVIDIA graphics software although I have updated all the drivers to the latest.
At the beginning I was able to hook my laptop to my flat screen TV with cable HDMI sound and image worked well, but then, after a week, there was no only the image of sound. So I'm a little frustrated with HP laptop and I was wondering what to do here to solve these problems. I put everthing back to factory settings twice and have updated everthing I could via Windows Update; except for Service Pack 2 for Vista Windows update does not automatically update. I manually do it and I hope that the system would improve or stabilize? or can I just bypass Vista SP2 and upgrade to Windows 7.
Thank you
Rob
Rob,
Have you upgraded your HP Media Smart TV software?
In my opinion, this is the latest version, I would install this first.

-or-
Restart Windows and the Samsung logo starts pressing F4 to access the recovery screen
This is a known problem in Samsung - see document - links products are not good
It is Support Center of Samsung - Re: HDD no detect does not issue
Click Troubleshoot utility (PS there is a pop up window)
http://www.Samsung.com/global/business/HDD/
Samsung also recommend OnTrack Disk Diagnostic. You can make a bootable floppy to advise data with this:

And here is the other programs from Samsung. The creator of the Manager of disc is really of Ontrack and hosted by Samsung. It should work with any brand of hard drive.

touchpad doesn't work on my laptop. I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel. can you help me please?
HelloIt's material is not a Windows problems.
/ Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen - make sure that is it
is a toggle the TouchPad that it is enabled.Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad
entries) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.==========================================
If necessary and the TouchPad makes its appearance in Device Manager: (make sure that you have restarted at least
only once if the above did not work)Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET
This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.
The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.
Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.
==========================================
This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:
