Cannot access the HP laptop Bluetooth functionality after upgrading Windows XP to Windows 7

Original title: reinstall the Bluetooth Driver

I have a 32 bit HP under Windows 7 Pro laptop.

My machine originally came with XP but when I upgraded the hard drive, I switched to Win7 Pro.

I can't access the Bluetooth of the machine functionality.  It does not appear in Control Panel or Device Manager.

HP broke off my machine, so their drivers are limited to XP versions.

Any suggestions on how to reinstall a driver?

Hey Parker,

As you have upgraded to Windows 7 from your pre-installed Windows XP laptop, as the HP laptop is configured to meet the requirement of Windows XP operating system and it is better you contact HP support for an answer to the question and guide you in the right direction by following the links below.

  • Cannot access the data of a dvd burned using Windows Vista

    Mr President.

    We burned a dvd using the integrated software disc Vista burning... the procedure was as follows:

    After inserting the disc, we formatted the disk by checking the "Quick Format" option... the format once completed, we pulled the folders n files that are supposed to be stored on the dvd n that the process has begun... After the end of the burn, the dvd is ejected automatically... but the dvd is not readable on other laptops or desktops... well helping... data are very IMP... We have no other backup data... and we have formatted the old laptop and upgraded to Windows 7...

    Forward to your response

    Kind regards

    Hitesh Baku

    How does the combustion process end - did you finish it or simply eject a DVD?  If you have completed it, exactly, that you have to finish?  What type of backup has been made (or did you use just copy/paste instead of the grogram backup) and what version of Vista are you using?  Did you use the live file format or the image ISO format http://www.ehow.com/how_5013668_copy-cd-dvd-windows-vista.html?  What kind of CD or DVD (CD, CD - R, CD + r, CD - RW, DVD, DVD - R,...)?

    Insert the DVD into the drive and go into Windows Explorer and right-click on it and select explore.  Any files or folders appear?  Go to start / Control Panel / folder opt / view on the and make sure that the button to view the hidden files is checked.  Also check the box to show system files and uncheck to hide extensions of known file types (this can be useful later).  Nothing now watch or it always seems to be empty.

    Go to start / Control Panel / administrative tools / computer management / disk management and check on the DVD in the car and tell me what it says on the size and the amount of available space (in other words, think data on the DVD).  Closer to your mouse on the DVD player and a text box appears above it lists criteria to this stationary player down.  Please post what he says EXACTLY, in the same order, as it is presented.  Does show as active for example?

    Here are the instructions on how to copy data from a hard drive to a CD.  Read carefully.  You skip steps or fail to wait until the processes were completed before moving on to the next step?  If we know what hurts you, it may be possible to fix it - but I don't know (because I have no idea, but why it happened). http://www.ehow.com/how_5013668_copy-cd-dvd-windows-vista.html.  Also, check out the following article, especially the section about closing or to finalize the process and see if you have done this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Disc-burning-frequently-asked-questions.

    Here is another article on how to burn a CD/DVD in Vista to test to see if you followed the procedures as indicated or anything left side: http://maximumpcguides.com/windows-vista/burn-a-cd-or-dvd-in-windows-vista/.

    I believe that you have finished the session before it was finalized and it's the cause of your problem (assuming that Disk manager shows ALL the data on the dik at all - in which case I am afraid that the information was not stored on the CD/DVD and are not recoveralble, because there is nothing there to recover).  If the development is the issue, there may still be a way to finalize the disc - although I'll have to research further on this subject because I don't know how to finalize a disc that has already been ejected before it was finalized (and depends on what probably treat you used).

    ===========================================================================================================================

    Even if you have your drive formatted and installed Windows7, it is still possible to recover some of the data that was stored there using special recovery software.  I don't know if these programs work with Windows7 (it is a forum for Vista) but you can check the details before you download them or go to the Windows7 Compatibility Center to see if they are listed http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/default.aspx.

    The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

    Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

    I hope this helps and I look forward to your reply with the results of the options I suggested, the I asked you to perform checks and questions I asked (and I know there were many, but I'm not here in front of your computer with the disk to try things myself so the only way I'm collecting information that I need help (if possible) is to seek your help for) help me.  Thank you.

    Hello
    Maybe this can help.

    Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

    Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share
    = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

    For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

    Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

    General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
    Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

    Hello!
    So I'm at the end of my rope with this one... it lasts for months, and I keep revisitng every two weeks to try and fix that and every time to be completely frustrated.  I found this forum tonight, so here goes...

    We downloaded a few games on the HP Games Web site.  We download them and everything works fine.  Then, we will open the games and this pop up error message:
    "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file.  You can not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.

    These games used to run fine, and I have no idea why they now have problems.  We have a Vista operating system, 1 account who is the administrator, the Parental control is disabled (or if we believe).

    If anyone can please help it would be much appreciated!  We have a monthly membership to this site of game and continue to accumulate credits, but may not use it.  It makes us crazy!

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello Heathie,

    Thank you for posting.  It seems that the program is no longer on your computer.  This can happen if the game files are deleted, but the game itself has not been uninstalled correctly.  I recommend you to download the game again to a location on your computer where you can easily find and install it.  This should fix the problem.
