• Is it possible to restore without losing my passwords, settings and especially favorite?

  Recently, my computer has been infected with a malware that has removed some DLLs and damaged the Firefox, Opera and Google programs.

  The other two browsers I reinstalled without any problem. But Firefox is my main browser and I'm afraid of losing all my information.

  Is it possible to restore without losing my passwords, settings and especially favorite?

  You can check if the Firefox profile folder is always present.

  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  If that's the case then Firefox will automatically detect its presence and use.

  You should regularly make a backup of your personal data stored in the Firefox profile folder in order to avoid a potential loss in case of problems.

• Satellite 2800-200; is it possible to upgrade the memory and HARD drive capacity

  Hi all

  my computer is a Toshiba Satellite S2800-200 (old) and I wont to ask if it is possible to upgrade memory capacity and disk.

  Thank you

  Of course you can upgrade these laptop parts.
  The laptop seems to be equipped with an internal memory which is not removable.

  http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=7168&ft=m&St=3
  According to the website above, you can use only one memory for an upgrade slot.
  You can use the 144-Pin PC100 SODIMM 128 MB module. It's max.

  I m not 100% sure on the HARD drive, but as I m not trunk not the laptop came with 10 GB HARD drive. Generally, a 20 GB HARD drive should be possible.

  Good bye

• Pavilion DV6 freezes but passes the Tests of memory and HARD drive

  I have a dv6-3025dx that the POST is fine. It does not start after the screen 7 start, the recovery Partition loading bar or a Windows 7 recovery disk loading bar. The HP Vision diagnostic and a drive OEM 7 freeze as well. Start with a Ubuntu DVD displays icon on the keyboard at the bottom then nothing else than a cursor flashing at the top left of the screen. The HARD drive and memory in the BIOS Tests pass but the start-up Test, the Burn-in Test and the Test of memory in the partition the disk diagnostic all freeze immediately.

  I reset BIOS, change the RAM with known working sticks and clone the HDD on a well known player and still get the same result. I had to clone the drive from a different machine, because Acronis True Image 2011 boot disk crashes after the splash screen. A 3rd party BACK base RAM and HDD tests pass with flying colors; including Windows, MemTest86 Memory Diagnostic + and video memory Stress test. Basically, I can't start any GUI environment. only of DOS or Linux command line. I'm guessing that maybe the video chip? Ideas or confirm my diagnosis?

  Thank you!

  You make text based OSes seem to work well. This could mean that the video card is at fault with loads greater than the bare.

  However, it could also be a SATA controller flaw that does not correctly handle the load. There is really no way to test this reliable I found.

  No matter whether the video controller or the controller SATA, the result is the same and that is replace the motherboard. If it was office, a SATA PCI-based controller can be purchased cheap enough to exclude it. However, this is not an option here.

  It really isn't too much other material in a notebook that is involved in the boot process and most of the material is soldered to the motherboard.

  I'm sorry.

• HP Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC: touchpad scroll function not working after installing windows 7 (64)

  After a complete hard drive failure, I installed Win 7 everything works, as far as I know, except scrolling on the touchpad. I went through all the troubleshooting I can find.  The last one I tried was in the Control Panel, mouse and look for the details of the touchpad. It is not listed there.  I can't find a driver to install HP and Driver Downloads. Where can I find a driver for the touchpad with scrolling? The only thing listed under the mouse in the menu of device driver is a PC mouse.

  I'm sorry that the link of the page didn't work.  HP has problems with the website support, and even for me at times, page links do not work.

  As for the installation of Windows 9, how to acquire that is to order the HP recovery media. It is a DVD and CD set that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, applications and settings, reinstall the original OS, drivers and utilities for HP.  You get these by contacting HP Customer Service.

  • The version of the BIOS/Date: Hewlett-Packard F.25, 12/01/2011
  • SMBIOS Version: 2.6
  • Intalled physical memory (RAM) 8.00 GB
  • Total physical memory: 7,80 GB

  Also, I read that I might have to update my BIOS for it to 'read' the whole disc, which would be the case in this situation?

  I would like to especially video games more quickly, in addition to having several installed (larger) programs.

  Thank you for your help, I appreciate your advice.

  Hello:

  You must also ensure that 2 TB HARD drive has the same physical dimenstions than your current one, or it may not correspond in the Bay.

  Some TB HDD 1 and 2 are thicker than hard drives of 500 GB.

• HP Pavilion dv7-4150er upgrade complete. Issue of processor and HARD drive

  Hello. Sorry for my English. I'm from the Ukraine.

  I want to improve my HP Pavilion dv7-4150er and I need advice from experienced people.

  Now, I have:

  -8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB),

  -1 TB of HDD (5400 RPM)

  -stock video (Mobility Radeon hd 5650 graphics card) card overclocked to 700 MHz GPU and 950 MHz Vram.

  -CPU (mobile Quad Core Intel Core i7-720QM, 1716 MHz) in stock

  -BIOS F.29

  2 problems:

  -Slow CPU

  -Slow HARD drive

  I want to buy a few HARD drives SSD for Windows and secondary soft and left for the data.

  Get an increase in the performance of the system?

  On the 'Intel' site, I read that my

  Intel® HM55 Express Chipset Mobile

  is compatible with the more powerful processors. LINK

  And I have a great opportunity to buy Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13 GHz)

  But the laptop manual says:

  720QM and 940xm - identical processors. The difference in 'MAX TDP' 45w/55w, 'Cache' 6 mb / 8 mb and clock speed 1.6 GHz/2.13 GHz

  The Intel® Core™ i7-940XM processor Extreme Edition (8 M Cache, 2.13) will work properly in my laptop?

  or not?

  I have read many articles on this topic, but the answer is not...

  And I can't find information on HP F.29 BIOS specification.

  How can I increase a CPU nested way (with another compatible processor) perfomance if 940xm is not compatible?

  Help me please.

  Thank you for your time.

  Hello nickiblackmore.  I understand that you are curious about the upgrade of your laptop.

  Here is a link to Guide of Service and Maintenance of your laptop.  It covers the disassembly of the laptop and can also show you how to replace parts if you upgrade the.

  If you switch to a Solid State Drive of a standard 5400 or 7200 RPM hard drive, you should see a significant performance increase.  This is because a normal hard drive spinning platters and it takes time to locate data on the trays as they are moving.  A Solid State Drive has no moving parts and therefor can locate data much more quickly.

  A CPU upgrade is a much more difficult question.  HP does not recommend that you perform this type of upgrade.  Laptops are generally designed with specific thermal and electrical needs.  If you change the CPU, it will probably create more heat and use a higher power that will cause you problems.  However, if you stick to a processor that is listed in the service (for example in your picture) Guide, you should be fine.  For example, you can choose one of the microprocessors found in the image to upgrade your laptop.  Also, keep in mind that the integral part upgrade as a CPU can affect your warranty (check your warranty here).

  If you think that answers your question be sure to mark the post as solved.  This makes it easier for others to find answers to their questions.

  Have a great day!

• Pavilion p6110t CTO Desktop: drivers for Windows Server 2008 and HARD drive problems

  Recently, I had the hard drive with my OS failure. After replacing the hard drive and reinstall windows server 2008, I seem to have encountered some problems with drivers.  After insalling Windows, I had 3 items in my device manager that not have installed correctly. I could get the driver for the LAN port to work, but I did not get the driver to "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" and "SM Bus controller". After a little research, I believe that the graphics card is a Radeon HD4350. With this information, I still have been unable to toinstlal the correct drivers or the other of these elements. I tried several drivers listed on the support page of the drivers on the HP website, but all fo return them the same error of not finding the right operating system. The link to the driver, I used initially on my previous installation seems is no longer valid.

  Also, I can't access two additoinal hard disks (sata connected). They were used with the previous installation of windows without any problem. They appear in the Device Manager but do not show in my computer. A removable disk appears that I don't know what it is. Previously I used the software to mirror one of the disks on the other in order to avoid the loss of data if a disk fails. Is one of the above players with not be able to access the drives causing the problem or the software used before the problem?

  Any help on these questions is greatly appreciated.

  Ok.

  I can't help you with the readers then.  It is out of my area of knowledge.  If they are healthy and active in the disk management utility, then that's all that I know these should be reported.

  As for the graphics drivers...

  Download and install this free utility for files.

  http://www.7-zip.org/

  After installing 7 - zip, right-click on the graphic driver file and select 7 - zip from the list of options.

  Choose 7-zip to extract to: and leave it to unzip the file in a folder.  I have it extracted the file name of the file.

  Then just follow the rest of my instructions to install the driver.

  Of course that you you first go to where 7 - zip extract the folder and continue from there.

• HP Pavilion dv4 stops unexpectedly

  Hey there,

  I have a Hp Pavilion dv4 Notebook PC I bought half a year ago. A couple of days, while I was working on my computer it unexpectedly closes. At first I thought it was because my computer was out of battery because when I turned it on, there was no charge inside. However, two days later it stopped again and when I turned it back on it still had about 21 percent of power left. I don't really know what could be the problem. I did a scan of the computer, health analysis and tested my battery as well and they were all aware.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Thanks for your time!

  I own a laptop PC hp Pavilion dv4 laptop and this morning there was a sudden battery problem, I was playing Dota 2 and the Steam interface told me that the battery percentage was 12% (7 minutes from the end) then I moved and grabbed the chager, plugged into the outlet and plugged the charger in laptop a few seconds later the laptop turns off suddenly and won't restart, even if the charger is plugged there no light came from the load indicator.

  A few minutes later do research for similar problems, there was a solution to remove the battery and the charger then press and hold power for 30 seconds and 3-5 minutes then return the battery but it did nothing.

  After with some research, the indicator load on all of a sudden and when I start the laptop it was on 12 percent and billed not (there is no indicator that the charger is plugged) and turns off suddenly without warning.

  Later, with a bit of panic and thought, I removed the battery and the charge light lit, which allows me to boot up the laptop and when Windows starts, I plugged it to the battery and it says: 19% (plugged in, load) so I track for a bit, but it didn't move at all, even when I changed the power of High Performance for HP recommended settings , window 19% available (plugged in, load) but it's just, it, don't move or anything like that.

  EDIT: When I unplugged the charger to move my computer laptop and plugged in again, the indicator not lit and does not charge the battery thus forcing me to shut down or Hibernate, and remove the battery to the charge light.

  Your battery is quite likely to be having no longer life left.

  It is that if your laptop starts up without the battery, since the race, the battery test is not a viable option.
