HP pavilion Dv4 running under Vista 64-bit

I just connected and saw that my desktop icons are of two different sizes. Some are standard size, I know well, and some are much larger and overlap size stardard. Why some icons on my desktop are much larger than others to login?

Hello @dm4tt ,

Welcome to the HP Forums!

I understand that the icons on your desktop are of different sizes.

You can set all the icons of the same size in right click on an empty spot on your desktop and choosing View > by selecting large, medium, or classic. It should be resized all at the same size, that Vista has no support for icons of different sizes without adding non-Vista software.

You can also hold CTRL on your keyboard while scrolling your mouse wheel to resize the desktop icons.

Try and reboot your system to make sure that it does not return.

Let me know if it works!

  • Windows Media Player permission to run under Vista 64-bit

    How to change the setting for a specific program so that it will run under Vista 64-bit without asking permission every time as the permission?  For some reason any of all the pre-installed software that came with my computer, only Windows Media Player asks me permission every time I try to run it from the desktop icon.

    Remove icons from desktop and quicklaunch and created new file programs.  Problem solved.

    Hello!

    What you downloaded exactly on the Toshiba site?

    As written Akuma you must install first added value Package you will find also on the Toshiba site. Check this box!

    An interesting thing: it does not work if you are using the preinstalled operating system? It should have everything installed for your laptop.

  • Duplex not recognized under Vista 64-bit printing accessory

    I recently had to replace my old computer with an HP Pavilion a6700f running Windows Vista Home Premium 64 - bit SP1.

    I got my 7410 HP all-in-One printer connected and operating, the latest software HP installed and checked for updated drivers, firmware or Windows updates to date. Everything is up-to-date.

    However, my two-sided printing accessory is not recognized. I tried to do an update of the parameters, but the accessory does not appear in the drop-down menus.

    I learned by HP Technical Support that it is a Windows problem, but I can't quite believe that even Microsoft would come out an operating system does not recognize the material of the major manufacturer.

    Is that what everyone knows about this problem? Is this really a Windows glitch?  If so, is there a workaround solution that will allow me to do automatic duplex printing?

    Bob sent me an email with the patch, but I'm not sure I'm reading it correctly because the patch does not work. I got an error message that the printer driver has not been installed and he gave me a window to select options. I think it installs just the drivers of Bob wants to replace.

    In the e-mail to Bob, he said save the attachment as % temp%\hpo7x00t.gpd.  I don't know where to put this, and this is perhaps why the patch has not yet worked.

    Can someone tell me with certainty where to save the file?

    You just need to save the DPG file to a temporary location.  Folder is the location for temporary files of the system, it refers to a directory.  If for some reason it doesn't, you can do the following to the administrative command prompt:

    mkdir c:\temp

    [save the gpd c:\temp\hpo7x00t.gpd]

    then in the copy command:

    copy c:\temp\hpo7x00t.gpd c:

  • Installation of Photoshop elements 10 under Vista 32 bit

  • Impossible to install ATI X 1200 drivers under Vista 64-bit on Satellite series

    Please, someone help me
    I'm trying to install the X 1200 ATI drivers on my vista 64-bit and nothing. I go to ati.amd.com and download
    the latest ati x 1200 for vista 64 drivers and install it, after installation, a reboot of the machine and nothing.

    Vista indicates just in the graph "standard vga card."

    I hope that someone help me

    Thank you

    Guimenez

    Hello

    I Don t know why install the won´t drivers. You may need to install manually in the Device Manager (I mean, go to the device, and then on the device - in your case the vga controller - and you must go to the "driver update", then simply follow the installer for installation).

    What I really suggest, is to go to these sites and download the drivers from there, because they have been modified to run on mobile systems:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/

    It would be better because the normal pilots are not intended to run on portable computers.

    Please give some information about your situation

  • problems .crd of opening the file extension under Vista 64-bit,

    I have .crd files created by the cardfile program that was on older versions of Windows. Cardfile program does not work on Vista 64 bit. I need a way to open files in a usable format.

    Hello Moesch,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Community Forums of Microsoft Vista.
     
    You must associate the *. CRD Extension with the CardFile application. In Vista, by default, the extension of the CRD is associated with CardSapce.
     
    To change the file association:
    1. click on start and type CMD
    2. in the list right click on CMD and click "Run as Administrator".
    3. use the following commands to * change * the file association.
    a. type SCS .crd = CardFile31, and then press on enter
    b. Type ftype = C:\Windows\CARDFILE CardFile31. EXE %1 and press enter
    4. double-click the Cardfile.CRD file. It should open in the map file.
     
    It will be useful.

  • No wireless network under Vista 32 bit when I add more than 2 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I am running Vista 32-bit Ultimate Edition (Service Pack 1) on my desk, I had 2 GB of physical memory installed on my system. but I recently had to increase the ram to 4 GB.

    I got D-link Airplus G + DWL-G520 + wireless adapter PCI, which worked very well with my OS. but since I upgraded my ram to 4 GB. He stopped to show me any network or to create or connect to another, using a d-link's router which works fine with the other portable 2 of my friends.

    I even thought about updating my operating system to 64 bit instead of 32 that I use 4 GB of ram, but d-link does not support this product so I'm not able to find the 64-bit for this network card driver.

    y at - it a patch or upgrade that I do on my vista ultimate 32-bit if I get my network wireless connected to my office with the same network card?

    Thank you guys

    Cordially :)

    Hello

    If the 4 GB of RAM is important for you try a newer pci adapter.

    Xtreme G wireless cards come out kind of standart.

    This card is inexpensive has x 64 driver too and works very well.

  • FrontPage 2003 will run under Vista?

    I have a few sites I've built for non - profits using FrontPage and maintained on the ISP with the download HTTP in Frontpage. Since it is a purely voluntary effort, I really don't want to spend a lot of time rebuilding with the help of another product.

    However, I need to replace my current computer, and it will mean moving into the universe of Visa's operating system.

    Only in a time perspective, it would be my advantagte I could use Frontpage under Vista. Which will work?

    Yes, it will work.  Office 2003 and later versions are all compatible with Vista.

  • Under Vista 32-bit, windows update will not run.

    1. If an attempt is made to run Windows update, it displays the message that it cannot work because the windows update service is not running and the computer must be restarted.  Reboot has not fixed the problem.  Checking in MSCONFIG shows that the windows update service is running.  Tried the ap fix - it without success. Ideas?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.

    You can go to start-> type services.msc-> press on enter. In windows, go to Windows Update. Double click on it. Make sure it is running and the startup type is set to automatic. Make sure that the following services are also running:

    Remote procedure call (RPC)

    DCOM Server process Launcher

    RPC end point mapper

    Make sure the service above are running and that their startup type is set to automatic.

    Now, reboot your PC and then try again.

    If Windows Update still fails, try this:

    Click Start-> type-> right click cmd.exe and click Run as administrator.

    Then, run the following commands:

    CD %windir%\System32

  • Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

    Hello
    My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

    I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

    My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

    Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

    Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

    If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

    Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

    However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

    But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

    Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

    Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

  • Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate will not properly organize under Vista 32 bit SP2

    I have problems to Pinnacle Studio 12 Ultimate to work on my Dell Vista 32 b sp2 PC. After apparently installed successfully and a 12.1 update download, everytime I try to run it, the Pinnacle splash screen returns to about 70% and a Windows error message said then there was a problem and the studio file has stopped working. There is no additional information or any other message. I installed as administrator and disabled antivirus while doing so. Since then, I installed on a laptop Windows 7 to check that the installation disc is not defective and it works like a dream out there.

    I tried a repair in Vista with the startup disk and uninstalled, corrected the registry and reinstalled but still the same problem.

    So, I think to the settings of Vista on my PC - ideas please?
