Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA: how to back up the registry

I need to change my internet browser for Secunia PSI - it is to make changes to the registry. As I am a PC-numpty (a technical term) an expert on the PSI forum gave me a walkthrough.

The first step is to back up my registry. I back up my laptop every month that you are prompted by the excellent Action Center of HP but can't find how to make a backup of the registry just. Here, a search found many threads, but none of them relate to my problem.

Could someone help me please?

Hello

You can do the following.

Hold down the Windows key and press R

Type regedit and click on enter - click Yes at the subsequent uac prompt

In the upper left corner of the Registry Editor screen, click on file and then select export from the menu

Select where you want to save the backup file and give a name to the file

Click on the Save button and give him a few moments to complete.

Kind regards

  • Compaq Presario CQ71-320SA: failure of the update of the BIOS via Support Assistant / should I update anyway?

    This morning I found that my laptop had not finished closing 8 hours ago. I stopped by pressing the button Off for 6 seconds and restarted. I then looked a likely cause and saw that a BIOS problem was probably the cause.

    I'm went to the site of HP support & with information about http://support.hp.com/gb-en/document/c00007682, I followed step 1 and I saw that my BIOS is F.11 21/08/2009.

    Support site told me that I need F.11Rev1/20/10/2014. I installed, rebooted and saw that he had failed.

    What's worse, is that the program Insyde update it says that the 2009 version is updated - see below.

    A kind person could tell me what I should then?

    Hello

    You can manually update the BIOS for your laptop by downloading from the link below:

    The current version available is F.23

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp51501-52000/sp51527.exe

    Once the download is complete, double-click the downloaded file and follow the instructions on the screen.

    You will notice may-continuous display blank for a few seconds, which is quite normal. Once the update is actually the device automatically restarts.

    Note to back up your data before performing the update. Also have your adapter connected to the laptop.

  • How to back up the registry in Windows Vista

    I am currently working through the steps to delete & fix MSN Messenger because my current one is corrupt. One of the measures is to back up the 'register' before moving on to the next step.

    So far, that I have been able to find anything that tells me where I can find the 'register' or where I can download the software for this. My laptop came with Windows Vista pre-installed so I don't have a CD.

    Someone can tell me what is the 'register' and where can I find the software? Is this by chance another name for where you just do a system retsore point on the computer?

    Thank you

    Here is the information you need: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/212412-registry-backup-restore.html.

    Moreover, to join the Regitry to go start / search box and type regedit.exe and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.

    Bunnies098 should be aware that Regedit is a program for editing the
    Registry. Unlike many other programs of different species, from editing all
    changes made to the registry are made immediately. you do not get the
    opportunity later to save or not to save changes.

    And the registry is critical to the operation of Windows. So be
    extremely careful what you do with Regedit and do everything
    changes with it unless you are sure that what you do is
    fix.
    Regedit is a very dangerous program. An error with the help of it can easily
    cause a computer unbootable plu.

  • Compaq presario cq71, sudden death, does not start

    Compaq presario cq71-140ea. was fine yesterday but this morning it will not start. It turns on, displays of compaq on the screen and then does nothing. Have you tried pressing f10 to change the sequence of boot for the relocation, but it just says bios configure options at the bottom of the screen and will not actually in it. All keys have the same effect. Says on the bottom, what is it but isn't "doing". Does anyone have any ideas on how I can him get up and running?

    Ruling on a BIOS corrupted, removing the CMOS (exhibit) just battery resets the default settings for the BIOS, but you do not have to remove the laptop battery as well. Did you remove the two batteries?

    I still really want you to try to boot the machine with a stick of memory removed.

    Here's a good video youtube, that he mentions on the battery and electric shock _ you won't electrocute yourself, the voltage inside a laptop is very low and also the battery will be removed.

    http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=dbvmRsSh210

    Remove the stick dessu first (you don't have to replace the cover on the penalty), insert the battery back in and start. If no luck, remove the lower Strip and try this one. If it does not always start upward, then I would say that the BIOS is damaged. If it starts, then you have a bad stick of RAM.

    The RAM sticks are matched, you can't make them in trust, me it's a very simple thing to do.

    http://h20574.www2.HP.com/default.htm?lang=en&cc=us&hpappid=psml

    Also here is a link to HP multimedia Services library and some screenshots as getting there.

    When you click the link you may have to sign in again, giving the two pages of time to load, especially the other, it takes about 30 seconds.

    In the video he says you only touch the memory stick to the edges, it is a good idea, but I've seen people deal with it very casually and it's always nice. However just follow the steps in the video.

    I mention this once again and that's to make sure that you're statically discharged before opening the laptop.

    After trying the solution of the RAM (Random Access Memory) and if it fails, you will need a 1 GB flash drive. If there is something on this subject, and then save the information we have will be formatted.

    Flash player is required to save your BIOS.

    I guess we'll use your computer for girls, so I need to know what operating system is on it.

  • Compaq presario notebook CQ71: mother of computer laptop compaq presario CQ71

    mother of laptop Compaq presario CQ71

    I have a question an abot in Selangor, this motherboard.

    the graphics chip is separate or integrated.

    My cq71 crashed and stopped working continuous overheating by weak graphics.

    so ive decided to spend the whole motherboard.

    but I need to know to or if I could spend graphics.

    I have already upgraded to the ram for the future graphics card integrated.

    also additional guides on how to pass map main would be apprteciated.

    No RAM, but you would like to install a better processor, too. Look at the manual for CPU options. They will be pretty inexpensive at this stage. You should also another radiator/heater unit to work with the different video chip. But it adapts to your chassis. The only way to look at this case if you do your own work. Otherwise, the cost will approach the price of a new laptop computer. Even do your own work that you will probably have to spend more than $150.

  • Compaq Presario CQ71 Ser: CNF01002QT model CQ71-4142F - Dead - no power supply - does not start - no led

    Hello *. *

    First time here...

    Compaq Presario Notebook Win7 32-bit - 4 GB DDR2, aged about 3 years?

    A customer brought this with virus / malware issues - arranged.

    On start-up, the bios made regular account that the HP OEM battery must renew. Not difficult technical question here.

    Powered on the laptop without the battery and the pc has stopped completely after a few seconds.  No beeps, no LED. Suspecting power, the original showed 19.* * volts. Ok.

    Bidirectional p - s for another check the jack plug connection. No change, tried jumping jack plug connection.

    Out two-way RAM for good, no change.
    Two-way 2032 battery of the bios for good, not change.
    Removed HARD drive, no change.

    Non-powered from DC or battery, depressed and button who was held for at least a minute, without change.

    The bios battery removed for 30 minutes, without change.

    Fan do not get stuck.

    No attached devices.

    Remarkable:

    Without battery : white DC power LED stays on for about 5 seconds. And then off.

    Old battery included: white DC power LED does not illuminate.

    I did not remove the optical drive, because I think it's ok. Works fine (or used to).

    I am familiar with this series of Presario laptops / laptops and while I have tried everything I know, I was wondering if, before I have conviction as having a short-circuit motherboard / failure, is there anything else I can try with this model of HP laptop before I am progressing with the send for repair of component.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You are welcome.

    Before considering the upgrade to Windows 7, there are a lot of things to consider.

    See if Dell has Windows 7 drivers for your model computer.

    http://www.Dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriversHome/NeedProductSelection

    Download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=20

    And also to use the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/default.aspx

    To your original problem, you can try this scan:

    "How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the files on system missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7"

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    The only problem is that it do not work if you have serious problems of file system.

    That's when you need Installion repair to fix things with a Microsoft DVD as above or replace the files, but you still need this DVD. Catch 22!

    Try it and see how you go with it.

  • Compaq Presario SR5506F: update BIOS of BACK command line?

    Hello

    I would like to be able to Flash the BIOS to the boot prompt, or with a USB/CD/DVD based tool. I can't open any OS even from live DVD.

    My Presario SR5507F came originally with Vista installed, but over the years, it has been upgraded to Windows 8.1. He gave us many years of reliable service, but sometimes the last fall the PC began to experience some powerdowns and seemingly random reboots.

    Things get pregressively worse until the PC was unusable. He would go for 15 or 20 minutes and then restart. The trouble began shortly after a Windows Update, so I thought it was a problem of update patch or driver. I tried return that a withdrawal patches nothing helps. I also tried to install Ubuntu and Fedora, but they have the same problems. Fedora is worse than Ubuntu, however. I tried to reinstall Windows 8.1, then 7, and finally the original Vista operating system 32-bit, but all the Windows installations fail at some point during the installation drivers. The computer passes just a restart endless cycle and cannot install Windows.

    I performed memory tests, but they all go and I use a text based operating system, such as BACK.

    I tried to reflash the BIOS, thinking he was damaged in one of the restarts, but since I can't install any version of Windows, the BIOS flash tools refuse to work. I need to be able to Flash the BIOS from the prompt at startup or DOS command. Is there such a tool from Compaq/HP?

    Thank you!
