HP Pavilion Home PC with Windows XP. 2.66 Ghz and 512 MB and 80 GB of hard drive

I really need to upgrade this computer, it is so slow. I added a 1 TB external hard drive, emptied at least half of the 80 GB hard drive to the outside, but it is still desperately slow. Help!

Thanks for the comments, I think that it is time to update ;-).

  • MediaSmart Photo and Webcam does not not on HP Pavilion dm1-2150so with Windows 7

    I have a HP Pavilion dm1-2150so with Windows 7. When I double click a photo that she usually opens with HP Photo Viewer, now it doesn't. When I choose "open with...". "another program like paint or Windows Photo Viewer there is no problem. HP Photo Viewer is the default program ("Preview with HP Photo Viewer" is the "BOLD" alternative, when I right click on an image).

    I tried to open the program (both from the Start Menu and the MediaSmart button next to the Start Menu button), but it does not work either. The MediaSmart button, you can also "use the webcam' or"Watch movies and television", so I tried to open the webcam but who does not either. Although when I clicked on the «watch movies...» "- button, the video program works normally.

    What's wrong? Should / can I reinstall the whole MediSmart and if so, how do I that?

    Thank you, Kell

    Hey Kell,

    I think that you were right assuming that the best way to solve this problem would be to reinstall both applications - you can do the following.

    First, download the programs installation for two applications using the links below and Save both in your downloads folder.

    HP MediaSmart Photo.

    HP MediaSmart Webcam.

    When the completed downloads, windows, Control Panel, open programs and features, right-click on HP MediaSmart Photo and select uninstall - when it is finished, do the same for HP MediaSmart Webcam.

    Reboot the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your downloads folder and double-click the HP MediaSmart Photo install to start installation - once this is completed, do the same thing for HP MediaSmart Webcam.

    When the two facilities are completed, restart the computer again.

    Kind regards

  • Maxtor external USB One Touch Mini III and HP Pavilion dv5000 series with Windows 7 Ultimate

    Hello

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and I have HP Pavilion dv5191ea LT. I tried to connect an external Maxtor USB One Touch mini III hard drive and he would not recognize the disc. It's boring. I tried my best to find a solution, but I'm still without a clue. Anyone here who can help me? I would like help or the online guide that anyone of you can offer. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    Danny

    No XP is not installed, but it was installed before W7. Anyway, I solved the problem. The asnwer is that all Maxtor mini III One touch external USB key comes with software that allows you to encrypt disks require a password to open the disc. If the password is enabled when you close the last time, then this will bypass the detection of the drive in disk management. You open the disc in an XP environment and hell security as it does not work in W7. After you do this, the disk is available in W7. This site has been a great help:

  • Pavilion dv6 i3 with Window 7 64-bit. To start the HP logo appears, then I get a black screen

    I have a Pavilion dv6 i3 with Window 7 64-bit. To start the HP logo appears, then I get a black screen with a blinking cursor. I ran all the tests start and everything this past. I tried all F8, F9, F10, F11, recovery options with no luck. I tried to start with the ERD Window 7 64 bit I created when I install the laptop. Nothing... I did it with all the disconnected device. No luck. I'm looking for all the options until I re - install windows. I started with the Windows 7 recovery DVD and it reads, but I cancelled the process because it will reformat the hard drive and I expect to work around all the hassels of having settings to reinstall the software, etc.. Any ideas would be welcome.

    Thanks for the reply. I already tried these steps. I created a bootable floppy that I can get the data on the hard drive and am trying to restore windows to the recpvery of the DVD system that I ordered with the computer. Thank you

  • 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected. What now?

    original title: Desktop sidebar gadgets

    When you download a new gadget which folder does download while it appears in the selection of additional gadget.  I can't find a record that relates to the sidebar or gadgets on my computer.  Ran a search, and they do not always show upward.  In addition, instructions to restore gadgets installed with the computer: do right click Select sidebar - select Properties - 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected.  What now?

    Here are the steps to download and install new gadgets. http://freewindowsvistatutorials.com/meetWindowsVista/windowsSidebarAndGadgets/downloadAndInstallSidebarGadgets.htm. There is no particular place to download - usually, I download them to the desktop for installation and then I use C:\Users\personal myself (with a special created Gadgets folder it contains) to store the download for use later, if necessary (assuming that I save it at all). Also, this procedure explains how to remove gadgets using the sidebar, so you don't have to go looking to uninstall files or anything like that.

    As far as the original gadgets go, here's a thread on the same problem with a solution which is marked as an answer (even if the person who has posted never confirmed it worked):http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/1a979f08-a67e-43a6-a87c-3fa02dff9be1.

    If this does not work, perhaps to restore the entire box will solve the problem.  Here's how:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963010.  It can uninstall everything new gadgets that you added when it resets to zero (and I'm not positive that it will restore the original gadgets if he can fix the button greyed out), but if you accept that, it's worth a try.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

    I bought a whole new office 27 "Mac provided with Adobe CS6. Everything worked like a charm until the 1 TB hard drive, developed a bad sector and the Apple Store reinstalled a new I had extended warranty with them. They are recycled the disc immediately (like crazy, I don't ask for this return to get the data off it.) But fortunately, I have all my data on CrashPlan. I downloaded it and it was working fine except that I downloaded it on the desk and not the original location so he had succeed. I also have an external 1.5 TB drive that I wanted to make it bootable, so I installed Mavericks 10.9.3. Then I advanced and installed on disk newly installed too.

    I think that because I have a new reader that adobe thinks, I have a new computer. I bought the 27 "Mac new on Ebay and it came loaded with the software, including CS6. I have a serial number for CS6, but Adobe says that it was not valid. (I've owned CS2 and CS4 now CS6 that came preloaded on the Mac by the seller who told me that the software has been registered for the Mac?
