HP is dropping the ball by not providing drivers for Win 7 machines upgraded to Win 8

I have a p7-1003w I bought this summer.  I need the machine then, but knew that win 8 coming soon.  I understand "no problem, I'll upgrade when it is released."

Now I like HP did not have the drivers for my machine to win 8, so with my upgrade, a large part of the features of my PC are inop.

I called HP support, and after 90 minutes, they decided to blame Microsoft and transfer me to them.

Of course, MS told me a nice little hidden warning on HP website message, saying that the features of their machines can not work with Win 8.  How interesting that the HP tech did not mention that.

I can understand not making drivers for older machines, like XP or Vista, etc, but really - HP isn't even bothering to develop drivers for machines to their win 7 - even those purchased a few months ago?

It is the customer service poor extremely .  Really, really disappointed.

While on the phone with an extremely useful HP case manager (Alan to the Canada), we were able to download all of the drivers that were released yesterday, and do a Windows Update.  This seems to have fixed my problems.

Wasn't so sure when they told me they didn't know if the pilots would be provided, but in the end, I'm very happy with the HP customer service.  Alan was very, very helpful.

Thank you all here for your help as well!

  • The CPU is not powerful enough for Oracle database 11g?

    The CPU is not powerful enough for Oracle database 11g?

    I installed the datatase Oracle 11 g on my host by using the default configuration of oracle yesterday. Today, I find some the alert message: "CPU usage is 86,79%, through attention (80) or critical (95) threshold.» The average value of the CPU usage is 80.85% and I have to wait for more than 10 seconds for opening a page of the EM.
    My host is HP workstation xw4200. CPU is 3.4 GHz. No other applications on that host.
    I want to know: what is the main reason for the shortage of CPU resources? Because the database Oracle 11g itself is exhausting CPU or because there are a few configuration issues?

    qkc wrote:
    1 is it true that most of the CPU is exhausted by the EM control tool?

    It's quite possible.

    It is also one of the reasons why we encourage people to drop EM Database Console and switch to EM Grid Control. The burden is then on another server.

    2. why this index has been added in advance by Oracle Corporation? It does not seem that each tool is set up perfectly in advance.

    It was probably not required under ideal conditions, in which it has been designed and tested.

    Why is your environment not identical to the designed conditions that use Oracle? ;-)

  • IMAQ Vision: The image is not big enough for the operation (Imaq WriteToPNG.vi)

    Hi all

    I was stuck for a few days trying to get my work VI and get this error. It is as simple as to save a graph of intensity as an IMG, he works with JPEG formats but my graph is U16 grayscale and it is not supported by the jpeg format so I didn't get the expected results. Then I went to the PNG format and the error "the image is not big enough for that operation" appeared. I tried to resize as aid error NOR suggest, and got the same error, anyone has an idea on what could be the problem?

    Hello Bob,

    Thanks for the tips, I'll post my code in future issues (since I already solved this one). As you say, there was something wrong with my code, the code in the image actually worked well, but doesn't have the part where I wrote to the variable (the variable was not being written if its value is an array of 0x0, not big enough actually). Thank you!

  • I could not find drivers for windows 8

    I have a hp pavilion dv6-1133et laptop. I could not find drivers for windows 8. What should I do.what do you offer me?

    The first thing to do is use Windows snipping tool in Windows 7 to capture devices that make up your laptop. This way you won't have through the hassle of hardware for each device ID when Windows 8 is installed.

    I did it for my current loan of the HP Envy spectrum product 13D-3000 CTO Touchsmart Ultrabook in the two images below.

    Once you have done this, you know what is installed. You also know looking at the picture, sites of manufacturer in which you must visit to try to find the drivers of Windows 8 for devices. You can also post the pictures here, so we can help you find the drivers.

    You also have to share what chipset and CPU is in your laptop. You install as well with us, share the Windows 8 version (32 or 64 bit).

  • Sony CCD-TRV608 camcorder. can not find drivers for it to work with Windows 7.

    I have a Sony CCD-TRV608 camcorder and can not find drivers for it to work with Windows 7.  I've been on the Sony website and they do not have something there that I can find... most of the options you can choose to say there is nothing available after you select them.   Problem #2 - I do not know what kind of cable I need to connect the camcorder to the computer.  Any ideas?  Thank you very much!

    Hello JacquieXU,

    You will need a USB cable to connect the camcorder to the computer. You can directly connect the USB cable which you would have received with the camcorder and would appear as a plug-and-play device. If you have the software Camcorder installed on the computer, it will directly load the default drivers when you connect the camcorder.

    If the USB generic drivers are unable to load when you connect the camera, check if the camcorder is compatible with Windows 7.

    Thank you

  • Function call to the C - Type not available library for one of the parameters in the Prototype of the function.

    Hello

    I do a work already done by others: implementation of a Wrapper to SQLite LabVIEW, I know how to do with .NET alas I would do that c, mainly for purposes of performance and my pointer poor knowledge is kinda make me stuck.

    Some information is kindly provided here:

    What I want to do is just to open a connection to an SQLite database (if not existing does not, the SQLite engine will create the embedded database and the corresponding file to save the data and everything). The function to perform the operation is indicated in the page below:

    It seems simple enough:

    int sqlite3_open(
      const char *filename,   /* Database filename (UTF-8) */
      sqlite3 **ppDb          /* OUT: SQLite db handle */
    );
    int sqlite3_open16(
      const void *filename,   /* Database filename (UTF-16) */
      sqlite3 **ppDb          /* OUT: SQLite db handle */
    );
    int sqlite3_open_v2(
      const char *filename,   /* Database filename (UTF-8) */
      sqlite3 **ppDb,         /* OUT: SQLite db handle */
      int flags,              /* Flags */
      const char *zVfs        /* Name of VFS module to use */
    );
    

    However, I'm struggling a bit on the following type:

    sqlite3 **ppDb          /* OUT: SQLite db handle */
    

    And I'm not really sure what type to use when calling this function of LabVIEW

    Any idea, I guess it's really easy, but I'm not really used to have a type which is I guess the DataInstance but as it is not clearly explicted in the C library function prototype interpreted LabVIEW (InstanceDataType is logical but not sure if) I'm not really sure what I show in the screenshot is valid or not.

    My VI seems to work like a charm, but am not sure if I'm doing something wrong.

    Another prototype that I have no idea on the appeal proper LabVIEW is the close function:

    I would like to get this straight, usually a parameter has a name, right? but seems not:

    int sqlite3_close(sqlite3*);
    int sqlite3_close_v2(sqlite3*);
    

    Similarly no idea about setting up for this one... must be regarded as the free forum like the one calling this function is... but I don't send any object?

    Really confusing...

    sqlite3*
    

    I might sound really stupid, but if someone could point me to a few tracks, I'd be really grateful for that.

    Thank you

    This parameter must be an integer of size pointer, passed by the pointer. No matter whether it was signed or not signed. The SQLite library will allocate memory for you, then put a pointer to this memory in full the pointer location as you go.

    Regarding the close function, you must pass the same integer pointer, but this time he passed by value (because it is referenced with a single *, not two). There is nothing wrong with the documentation by omitting the name of the parameter. For the application of a function prototype, the parameter name is without important, since everything you need to know is the type of data. How the service chooses to refer to this setting internally is irrelevant.
