HP 'aid' is not worth re F3 key

Hi, HP - I combed through everything I can find - both here and on Google - also went to support Windows (Microsoft) - thought that maybe they know why the function keys do not work once they did could not help me either - if you can't work the bugs in something before you put it on the market You should leave well enough alone!  Is this a defect of the product - took a bunch of HP laptops across on a bad day?  Can't you just put the airplane mode and other things elsewhere?  Why must you monkey with the function keys?  Did not your grandparents never say you not monkey with things?  Then also why don't you have a kind of model - at least on your page ' aid' - so I can see what it takes to simply use the F3 key.  I also tried the keyboard online, but who did take place nor - thanks if someone can help me.  suejeanne

No not your grandma ever tell you that if you write a forum of support on an issue, you need to identify your product so the people of the Forum have an idea what you're talking about? But maybe not looking for help, but just a place to make comments with rhetorical questions in a bad mood?

  • Impossible to install windows 8 - we could not verify the product key

    Hello

    I have a HP G laptop computer series. The laptop comes with Windows 7. I. I upgraded to WIN 8 pro when windows 8 has been released. Recently, my laptop hard drive crashed completely due to bad sectors. I replaced with a new hard drive and tried to install WIN 8 from a dvd disk created from Windows download site.

    Now, the installation fails in the "enter product key to activate windows. The error is , we could not verify the product key. Please check your installation media.

    What can I do here? I can't install Windows 7 also because my laptop didn't come with a backup installation disk but just a restore system partition that get lost with swap HDD too.

    I was struck here for weeks. Please help me.

    To install Windows 8, you must have a previous Version (XP Sp3, Vista or Windows 7) installed at installation time. Your RESUME must have given you the opportunity to make a series of DVD of Windows 7, when you first start using your computer. If you have done these and then use them for the recovery of Windows 7 on your computer and then update for Windows 8.0. If you don't do this why? Your other option is to contact HP support and have then send you a recovery of Windows 7 DVD set. They will charge a small fee for these to help cover their costs.

    Hope this helps and if you need any additional aid station and we will be happy to help you.

    Hello

    As far as I know it of not possible to disable the keyboard. With the FN + F9 key combination, you can disable only features of Notepad, but not the keyboard. You can try to connect the external keyboard. If the same problem still images, then you should get you BONES with the recovery CD.

  • When I try to reinstall Windows XP on my Toshiba laptop, it works until I reboot. Then it says nvrd32.sys not found: press any key to continue.

    original title: NVRD32. SYS ERROR

    When I try to reinstall Windows XP SP3 on my Toshiba laptop, it works until the first reboot. When I boot on CD it comes up saying nvrd32.sys is not found: press any key to continue. When I press a key it is said: the Installer failed. Press a key to restart your computer.

    So, I don't know what to do. I tried searching on google and found a set, but talk of computer that I couldn't begin to understand. Basically, what I consider somewhere or can I fix it myself? I just paid for a new disk of Windows XP SP3, so I'm not looking forward to having to pay someone to use it.

    Hello

    ·         Windows XP came preinstalled on your laptop?

    ·         If so, you have a recovery partition?

    ·         Where did you buy the disc of Windows XP SP3 for?

    nvrd32.sys file is a chipset driver and must be installed via floppy F6 during initial installation.

    Method 1: To do this, follow these steps.

    a. you can download the chipset drivers from Toshiba Web site and copy it to a floppy drive.

    b. press F6 at the start of the installation of Windows XP.

    c. follow the on-screen instructions to install the drivers for the chipset.

    Method 2: You can contact Toshiba to restore to factory on the laptop.

  • Windows XP Setup will not accept my product key

    I am re-installing ona XP laptop, but the installation of Windows XP will not accept my product key. I have an OEM of a Dell PC product key that is no longer functional, and a update product key which is not null else, neither of which works.

    I can't even do the installation to achieve the activation step.

    Link to the entire conversation:
     
    Huh?
    • You have a Dell system, and with this Dell, you have a product key for Windows XP (edition?) - it would be an OEM key be used with an OEM installation CD.
    • You seemed to have bought (where?) a copy of "Retail" / license for Windows XP (edition?) - which would have its own retail product key to be used with a retail installation CD.
    What does not work:
    • using the CD to retail with the product key OEM on Dell machine sticker
    • by using the product key from retail with OEM installation media which might come with the Dell printer
    • have an installation CD OEM with an edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc.) and you try to use the product key OEM for another edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc) (editions must match, House can is complicated in this grouping too.)
    • have an installation CD retail with an edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc.) and you try to use the product key from retail sales to another edition of Windows XP (Home and Professional vs Media Center 2002 vs Media Center 2005, etc) (editions must match, House can is complicated in this grouping too.)
    So is that what you are trying to do?  Why did you buy the CD/product key for sale at retail and the editions correspond?
     
    If you're not at the point where you will have to enter the product key - why do you think that the product key is the question? Hah
