HP Pavilion 23: Install the new OS

I have a desktop HP Pavilion 23 I used DBAN to wipe the hard disk, because the computer was sent to me from a family member who died and it has been password protected. What is my next step to get it working? It had Windows 7 Home Premium on it, but no more since I wiped it.

If the set of recovery disks were made before you DBANned the drive, run them.  If you do not, you could order at HP, perhaps, a few $.  Otherwise, install a copy of Windows 7 retail, or 8.1, or 10.  Probably should ask about this before running DBAN.

  • PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

    I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

    I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

    Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

    What should I do next?

  • HP Pavilion DV6-6c35dx: potential problems with OS driver install the new hard drive?

    I want to spend the hard drive of my laptop, but my laptop did not come with recovery discs. I buy a full copy of Windows 7 Professional, but I did save it... because when everything has failed, I guess. If I'm able to reinstall Win 7 Home or if I have to install Win 7 Pro, how can I be sure to reinstall all drivers HP (p. ex., trackpad, meaning cool, beats audio, etc.) for my machine? It is best to download the drivers before you install the new hard drive and have them ready on a flash drive. or is there an easier way? Thank you.

    I personally prefer the new OEM installation & then get required drivers to download for HP support for your laptop model.

    It is slower and more difficult to do if it is not too well known, but the end result is much better.

    If your system has flaws you should try to fix first, but better long-term results come from clean install generally.

  • GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds

    I'm under GarageBand 10.1.2 & OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 on a Macbook Pro 13 retina "(2016).

    A couple of weeks, that I have installed additional drummers with no problems. I noticed, however, that many of the sounds in the sound library had an icon to download next to them; so I went to the GarageBand menu, option "Sound Library / download all the available sounds" and they begin to download immediately. Most of them have installed fine (and is still usable), but at some point the download has stopped and a window appeared with the message "GarageBand wasn't able to install the new sounds. Close and re-open GarageBand to download and install again. »

    Since then, whenever I open GarageBand, downloading continues automatically, but after a few minutes I get the same annoying message.

    I searched the Internet and tried all the following without success:

    (1) closed and reopened GarageBand

    (2) given in market system

    (3) delete the folder "/ private/var/folders/lq/nb_0wt4d1zq5rs933745flww0000gn ' and all its contents

    (4) remove the "user/Library/Caches" folder and all its contents

    (5) the latest version of Java from Oracle (update version 8 101 - build 1.8.0_101 - b13)

    I always feel the same frustrating lock when I open GarageBand (download starts and after a while it stops and the error message shows up again... and again once).

    I've included some screenshots on this post below, which illustrate the issue.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me with!

    Just to be sure - you have enough free storage to install all the new sounds? The instrument only GarageBand library has 14GB on my Mac.

    Until you try to install the sounds still launch the Console application and look for messages of diagnosis in the Console, when GarageBand gives the error message.  Are there clues, all messages associated with GarageBand in the Console window?

    Sometimes third part applications or incompatible system additions could cause this kind of problem, as firewall and antivirus software, for example, Little Snitch or Kaperski. If you have any of these installed, disable it before attempting to download the software.

    To prevent the non-standard extensions system to interfere, restart the Mac in Mode safe, before you try to install again, see: try safe mode if your Mac does not commissioning - Apple Support

  • After installing the new version of flash player firefox only charge for most of the sites basic html

    After you install the new version of Adobe Flash Player yesterday, Firefox would not charge most of the sites except in basic html, as I understand is the right term for all the lists in the text, especially on the left side of the screen. They open in Google Chrome and IE. I tried to restore to two days ago, today I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed, I have tried several possible solutions in the support forums, but nothing has worked. I prefer Firefox but it will fall if I can't get this resolved quickly. Note: I only start from the principle that the new flash player was to blame as it happened immediately after. I don't really know yet what he does, it's just one of those things that appears and says he has to be upgraded to the latest version from time to time.

    The Flash player plugin allows certain types of media to be displayed in the web pages. Otherwise, you get an empty rectangle. Usually Flash would not hinder Firefox to load style sheets, images and other elements that add to the raw text of the page.

    You can try the reset function. It duplicates some data key of your active settings in a new file, bypassing some add-ons and custom settings. Your plugins (including Flash) will still be active, but may be disabled manually if you wish.

    More information in this article: Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons. Please note that an old parameter file appears on your desktop. You might want to keep this around for awhile in case you need to save something from him

    Does make a difference?

    Photosmart HP 5510 will be not printed black before and after you installed the new cartridge.  The specified controls did.

    Yes, I was referring to manually clean the print head. I see that the 5510 lacks the possibility of leaving the print head manually.

    You can click on the menu of your SETUP program on your screen and go to TOOLS and clean the print head from there.

    If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to replace the print head.

  • install the new version of firefox will save my old settings such as bookmarks and custom parameters

    If I install the new version of firefox, it will save my custom settings and bookmarks?

    It seems that you already have the latest version, Firefox 6. You can look to the right of your question or you can look at help > about Firefox.

    To answer your question, update usually retains your personal data (bookmarks, passwords recorded, etc.). However, it is always a good idea to keep a backup of your personal data in case of hard drive failure or accidental formatting, preferable on another hard drive, a USB pin/USB/thumb/key or a CD/DVD, so that you don't miss them. I use an add-on named FEBE for me to do on a regular basis.

  • Satellite L650 - 1 M 0 - cannot install the new display driver

    Hello!

    I have the Toshiba Satellite L650 - 1 M 0, and I can't install the new drivers for my graphics card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD website. Why can't I do it? I want to install the latest display drivers, because I have problems with the display mode. My laptop is set to 16:9, but some programs display in 4:3.

    Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what can I do to download the drivers from the website of AMD. I have Windows 7 64 x;).

    > Why can't I do it?
    I m wondering really you ask something like that. It is well known that the support for mobile devices (laptops) is offered by laptop manufacturer and not by the hardware manufacturer.

    Because of the design of specific laptops with limited cooling performance graphics card can not be upgraded as on maps graphics designed for desktop computers. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be damage of graphics card or switch-offs due to temperature-critical material.

  • Satellite A300-RJ1 - cannot install the new graphics driver from Intel page

    Hello.

    Another problem.
    When I use the "integrated" Vista, I can not install the new graphics driver (intel inside).
    Whenever the error message: the driver is not validated by your system, please contact your producer.

    So if I install a clean windows, so I can install the new graphics driver: S and I want to install because it is much more recently than the preinstalled :(

    Hi mate

    You can install this driver, but you need to use different installation procedure.
    You must install it in the Device Manager.

    Here, you can choose Advanced Setup, then choose don't search. I will choose the driver, then point to the driver files that you have stored on the HARD disk and complete the installation.

    But note; I read here that the use of non-Toshiba drivers is always at your own risk

    Is there a solution to this problem?

    Hi tonymc01,

    Did you remove the old version of Tempro before installing a new? If this isn't the case, you should do it. Take a look in Control Panel > software to remove the old version first. Then, restart the computer and install the new version.
