HP Pavilion PC-550-a14: Home screen

I can't find out what version of Windows I have and what the byte is one thing.  Can't see anything to go find it.  Could not find a way to find something about what is on my computer.

Secondly, I have vision problems and can not get the magnifying glass to enlarge at a decent level.  It goes straight to 100%, which is too small, or 200%, which is too big.

Also, I don't know how to change the icons at the bottom of the screen.  They are horrible and difficult to see.

Hello @NancyTP,

Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

I read your post about how you do not know which version of Windows is installed on your desktop computer. I'd be happy to help you in this case!

You can check the version of Windows installed on your computer by following the following resources:

Operating system Windows am I running?
Is the Version of Windows on my computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

I also have to know what program you use to zoom the screen on your computer.

Please re-post with the necessary information, so I'll be capable of this search for you. I look forward to your reply!

See you soon!

The upgrade was successful, but after connect you and get the home screen, the display flashes severely and permanently and is unusable. After hours of trying I finally was able to get into safe mode and back to Windows 8. 1. now the Intel graphics driver is version 10.18.10.3366 and everything seems to be back to normal. What is the problem and how can I get this machine up to 10 Windows. Is it a driver Intel graphics, problem, or something else. The internet is FULL of people having this problem, but it does not seem to be displayed of all the solutions that I can find. Also, how is the screening of 10 Windows did not find any problems and said the machine was able to be upgraded to Windows 10.

Update went fine everything as before and after connection and the home screen came power was fine. I started with Norton and did an update and he succeeded. Then, I went in the Manager of tasks and active start Norton and rebooted. The system has rebooted and everything works fine.

  • Updates to driver for HP Pavilion 256na-550 desktop PC

    Please can you provide a link for Driver updater for

    HP Pavilion 256na-550 desktop PC

    I can't get the speakers to work, but I would check what else needs update.

    I thought that HP is a good company I really wish that I had chosen someone else to invest my hard-earned mony. You need a computer science degree to get this machine to work. Disappointed is very slightly, put first no cable provided to connect the monitor to the computer and now no sound from the speakers.

    I wonder what will be the next thing.

    If your company made cars they would not be allowed on the road.

    I expect a product to start work at the time wherever I have plug in there, but no, not with HP, they make your brain bleeding first.

    Hello monorayfromportland,

    If you are unable to connect to the iTunes Store on your Apple TV, take a look at the troubleshooting steps below:

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store

    If you cannot connect to the iTunes Store on your Apple TV (4th generation):

    1. Make sure that your date and time are correct. Go to settings > general > Date and time.
    2. Check if your Apple TV software is up-to-date. To check the updates, select settings > system > software updates > software update.
    3. Make sure you have an active network connection. Go to settings > network.
    4. Check to see if other devices, such as computers or tablets, can connect to Wi - Fi and access to the Internet.
    5. Reset the wireless router by turning and then again.

    Take care.

  • iCloud Drive to the home screen?

    Hello dear friends,

    I tried everything, but it seems that I can't see "Show on home screen" option for my iCloud Drive... Instead, I have just this screen without the option to activate the drive on my homescreen to iCloud.

    Do you have any idea on this issue?

    Any help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    I have not either - this option on my iPhone but I have the app for iCloud drive visible on page 2 of my home screen. I think this setting my have been removed in iOS 10. Have you checked all your home screens to see if the application is visible? Also try to use the search to find it.

  • Why can't respond to the messages of my lock and the home screen?

    I have the iPhone 6 + and I recently updated for IOS 10 and just discovered that I can't respond to the messages of my lock screen, or when they appear at the top of my home screen; I have to go in the app to answer. The only options I have when I slide right to lock screen is 'view' (which has just expanded the text) or 'clear', I found this quite irritating and regret the update of my phone. In the home screen when I pull down on the text, it just amplifies it and that's all, the keyboard is not pop up. Help, please...

    Hi there Choulian,

    Welcome to Apple Support communities.  I'm glad you brought your question to be able to respond to messages directly from the lock screen, it is a feature I use all the time and I know it's convenient not having fully unlock and go to the app to respond quickly to a text.

    Let's check some settings to make sure that we have everything set up correctly for you to be able to respond to messages from the lock screen.

    The application of settings:

    1. Touch ID & password (enter your access code)
    2. Scroll down to ALLOW ACCESS when it is LOCKED
    3. Don't forget that respond with Message is enabled and set to green

    Take care!

  • Update to iOS 10.0.1 iPhone is, double click on the home screen no longer shows apple pay

    Update to iOS 10.0.1 on an iPhone is, double click on the button home on the lock display screen is no longer apple pay.

    I tried the reboot, hard reboot. Switching allow home button and reboot, hard reboot. Deleting and adding to my credit card. Pretty much everything I can think of.

    Hello

    The double-click feature applies from the lock screen, not the home screen.

    To check that it is always enabled, go to: settings > portfolio & Apple pay > check that double click on the home page button is enabled.

    Reset: hold the Home and Power buttons until you see the logo Apple (10-15 seconds).

  • Black screen after startup (no home screen)

    I was just with the Firefox browser, looking for patterns (no piece, first... use airplane mode and not wifi) and when I clicked on the cog icon in Firefox the buggy device. He showed me a message saying that the home screen has crashed. Now the device boots (displays the logo of LG, the animated Fox, my carrier logo (Vivo, of the Brazil) and Firefox OS logo, but it goes to a blank screen (it is actually a black screen with high bar appearing, showing that it is on that plane and battery.) If I press the home button (or hold it) the phone vibrates, but nothing happens. If I pressed the power button a menu appears with: "Turn airplane MODE" (which is annoying because it is already on, but if I choose what to disable), "Silence incoming calls", "restart", "Power Off". There is the option "Cancel". Each of them works, but I don't know what to do.
    Oh, I tried to bring together the power, them increase the volume and the buttons on the home screen when the phone is off, but nothing happens. It turns when I release the home button. In addition, the volume and lock (or power) buttons works and change the volume / locks the phone...
    What should I do?

    The phone is a LG Fireweb, bought in the Brazil.

    Update, I tried to discount backwards, looks like you need the power, the House hold and volume KEYS until the LG screen appears, then release them. Worked well after the reset (so far).

  • Can someone tell me PLEASE, in the plain of the English and the words of one syllable, how to stop the annoying damned stick figures appearing on the home screen?

    I changed to Firefox because I was pushed to the madness of insignificant and frankly childish animated startup and the home screens. As far as I am concerned (and I know I'm not the only one), so that they can be some developers personal 'wet dream', they are nothing other than a total loss of pixels.

    Now, someone decided unilaterally that Firefox must throw it of simple but elegant homescreen Fox/Globe and join the modern idiom of animation pretty, colorful things to attract the attention of God knows who.

    Can anyone provide a simple walk-through of how do to remove or hide these garbage for those of us without qualification degree level in the computer... Please?

    The best way to get around that is just to create your own home page and do not use the 'default' on: homepage.
    See - How to set the home page
    That you have already rejected.

    You can use this UserStyle - https://userstyles.org/styles/104673/about-home-hide-snippets-and-hide-brand-logo - to hide the two sections of the about: home page House that Mozilla sends messages and videos when they feel the "need".

    Many of us have disabled the changes made to the top [brandLogo part] of the Start Page of Firefox and off advertising "excerpts" [under the reservoir of research] that Mozilla uses all the time now, so we don't see this "thing".

    If you feel adventurous, here's how to 'fix '.
    Type of topic: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Accept the message of 'dragons' to see the Advanced preferences screen. Use the search box at the top to enter the below pref.

    You can assign an empty string to stop your Firefox to retrieve "extracts" and brandLogo changes the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref. Right-click this pref and select Edit then clear the value as pref in the box that appears, and then click OK. Who will also disable "snippets" that appear under the container of the research on the default home page.

    Then you must open the folder of your profile, via help > Troubleshooting Information > profile folder > > folder view button. Then close Firefox.
    Your profile file open with Firefox closed (Firefox '3-bar' menu key > exit/Quit), wait two minutes, then remove the storage\moz-safe-about + House folder in the profile folder of Firefox to remove the brandLogo and stored in IndexedDB code snippets to make Firefox use the default brandLogo and a defined default code snippet.

    Restart Firefox for these changes to take effect.

    If you later change your mind about these changes, you can reset the pref browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl via the context menu and Reset to retrieve the default to start to use the storage\moz-chest-fort-about + House record once again.
