How can I know if Iam still eligible for my free update that came with my laptop? HP Pavilion dv3
I have a HP Pavilion dv3, I was wondering if I can still use the free update that accompanies it in 2009? IAM in need of an upgrade to Windows 7 or downgrade to Xp for my work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hello
Unfortunately, you will have to pay for the upgrade to Windows 7. The free upgrade to W7 end around March-April 2010.
The XP downgrade should come at the same time with the machine (IE an installation CD). May be a bit late now, but you can always contact HP to check.
Kind regards

Original title: completely clueless
I'm totally clueless when it comes to computers, but I try very hard to learn. I am using the help section a LOT, but I can't seem to find an answer to the only thing that makes me crazy. How can you know what drivers and programs are essential and those that can be deleted without harming my computer? I have a very basic net accountant I learn on before I screw up a portable more expensive and I do a cleaning on my C and D drives to improve performance because it runs so slow but it tells me I have the drivers who slow down Windows. I would greatky appreciate any assistance from someone who has the patience of a saint and is willing to take the time to explain it to me, in terms laymans. Thanks in advance
Drivers: you should know what you bought (in your machine) and what * you * want out of it. If you want stability and things work properly - let alone the drivers. If you want more performance check (and other games) in the drivers of motherboard chipset and video network from the manufacturers Web site... For more stability stick with the OEM website (HP, Dell, Lenovo - the assembler of the whole machine) and slightly more performance/push the limits (even if they want to work too - so still some stability) - access to websites of its components manufacturer.
With regard to the programs: you can decide what you use and do not use. If you are not sure, look it up (Google) or ask.

I want to format my laptop and re-install Windows Vista.
I lost my CD of the Windows Vista software, that came with my laptop.
How can I download of it Microsoft?
Srinivas
Hello
There is no Windows Vista downloads available from Microsoft.
Contact the manufacturer of your laptop and ask them to send a set of recovery disks.
They should do this for a small fee.
"How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
If this happens, you may need to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.

I am unable to use Yahoo Messenger when connected to Firefox. Mail works but not the Messenger. I received notice of message, but when I try to open the message and answer, nothing happens. Or to start a conversation. I tried to use IE and all Yahoo services work fine, so the problem is with your last update. I want to reinstall the previous version. You should not automatically updated versions if problems of this kind will happen. Please respond with a fix.
A light 'work around' If you know what the contact to discuss with you...
Keep a tab of discussion open for them. If there is already a tab open, chat works very well.
When you click on their name, two tabs will appear - one showing a constant loading "dial". Close that one. Then just keep the other open tab.
I know it's not practical if you have many contacts who chat with you, but if you have just a couple, it's at least a possibility to discuss with them by E-mail.
