This is to inform you that all professional laptops HP Probooks as EliteBook have tighter security than the consumer models infact they do not produce ' stop codes ', the password cannot be derived from the serial number and the

code is stored in a memory not volatile to remove the cell RTC does not reset the password in this case.

  • HP Elite Book 840 g1: change the RAID on AHCI on Elitebook 840 g 1

    I have an Elite book 840 g1. I'm changing to AHCI RAID and cannot get it done. I tried everything on the web regarding the registry settings and changes to the bios. Nothing has worked. Any suggestions?

    Solution to change RAID AHCI on an HP EliteBook 840g 1

    My EliteBook 840 g 1 does not have a CD/DVD drive, so I put my software available on a USB stick and this worked great.

    1. back up your PC or important documents.

    2 put the software available on CD/DVD or USB depending on one you plan to use.

    3. close all programs and restart your PC.

    -C' is where it gets difficult.

    4. enter in the Bios by pressing the ESC key

    5. make sure you change your boot order / put USB or CD/DVD first in order - depending on what you are going to use

    6. once in the BIOS go to the 'Advanced tab' and then 'Device Configurations '.

    7. go to RAID/AHCI and switch to AHCI

    8 save the settings and exit.

    -C' is where it gets trickier.

    9. THIS CRITICISM IS - after save and exit the BIOS of the PC will start start - don't let it throw - back in the BIOS before it starts

    10. once in the BIOS, go to the boot options and select the option that you put your software available.

    11. now booting from USB or CD/DVD, you have your software available on

    12. your PC will now go through the re-imaging process and when it's done, you'll be in AHCI.

    13. you can check by going to "Device Manager" > double-click on ' controllers IDE ATA/ATAPI "and below you see"Intel 8 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller '.

    14. He verifies that you are in AHCI

    15 take advantage of the improved performance

    The extent of the change RAID on AHCI by using registry settings I couldn't get it work. I changed the starting value of several channels (msahci, istorA, istorV, etc.) and couldn't make the change happen. From my experience, I had to reimage my PC for that change to AHCI RAID. If someone has a proven solution, changing to AHCI RAID in registry settings without having to do a reimage would be what they please report them.  Thank you and I hope that all this information is useful.

  • Is there an OCR software for the all-in-one series D110 printer?

    I have a HP Photosmart D110A and you want to scan to indexed pdf file. I can do with this printer?

    Hi there carlosw,

    There are TONS of OCR options out there. Even if your printer is not necessarily delivered with a release of box OCR solution you can always us third-party software to do what you are looking for. Here is a link for the top 5 free OCR software tools. The article is a bit dated you can search in your favorite search engine to find the solution that best fits your needs. I went to the Microsoft Office Document Imaging or OCR via google Docs, as I have already included it with office and use google Docs quite heavily. Let us know if this can help, or if you have any other questions.

  • There is a second black screen 30 for the login screen to appear

    * Original title: Windows 7 x 64-screen black, slow connection, App - V (boot record)

    Hello

    I have hours of slow connection on a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium. There's a second of ~ 30 black screen after the computer starts and before the logon screen appears.

    I installed the Windows evaluation and Deployment Kit (ADK) and ran a boot trace by using the Windows performance recorder.

    Using Windows performance monitor, I see that sftlist.exe service takes about 25 seconds to initialize (see screenshot below). This is part of the Microsoft Application Virtualization Client, the version installed is 4.6.3.24650

    Services right expect sftlist finish which could explain the black screen.

    No idea why it takes so long to start and there are patches? Thank you.
