• Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update

  Why do I get restore window when opening firefox since the update. I don't want to restore but it appears every time instead of my homepage as shown

  A likely cause is that you first close all Firefox Windows and then close the Firefox application.

  Some noted that closing of Firefox (Firefox > Quit) while the browser window is always open works for them.

• I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

  activate windows 7?

  I am running xp pro so why they ask me to activate Windows 7?

  XP has been activated years ago? now, they say both need equipment to enable the garbage.

  There is nothing wrong with your report that I can see - so you should not receive not authentic or notice of activation.

  The notification came at one time and then disappear later?

  If Yes, then it is probably due to a "race condition", where two programs or more are fighting for the possession of a file--in this case, it prevents the system WGA, checking the status of the operating system, resulting in the notification. A plus later re - test then clears the air.

  The addition of SH Devolo may have been the straw that broke the back - is the amount of RAM on the system? XP SP2 requires at least 512 MB for a reasonable speed, so if your system has less, I'd say you are trying to upgrade if possible.

  You must update AA9. I don't know what subversion was necessary to work with x 64 systems. Usually the initial versions have not worked with x 64 systems.

• HP OfficeJet printers no longer work with 7 Pro. WHY?

  Dear community of Microsoft,

  I'm at the edge of madness since August 14 I'm more able to print on ANY of my HP Officejet printers (both 4500 and a 6500 all in UNITS).  I checked my e-mail address after this thought maybe there would be something Softronics or H.P. in there as a bug or a problem, and of course, there was something H.P.

  I downloaded and ran the "so-called fix."  It wouldn't work.   I'm at the end of my mind and actually BROKEN printers all over my patio.  Childish, maybe, but you have NO IDEA how bad that company makes me mad after the purchase of 17 computers and 8 printers in recent years.  NONE WORK PROPERLY.  NOT A SINGLE ONE.

  H.P. will NOT help me.  But it's NOTHING new to them.  I will NEVER buy another HP product again.  I tried to print a label of mail for more than two weeks now.

  Yes, I had technicians of various companies go into my computer and no ONE, not even H.P., may fix the problem.

  I'm NOT a violent person at all, but it speaks volumes when we crash one of their own printers by such severe frustration.

  My computer is a HP dv7 4000 (supposedly custom... probably not as I buy direct HP and they TEND to rip off of people... just to tell the truth).

  He was SUPPOSED to be a business personal computer built with 7 Professional on it and Office Pro 10 on it.  He appeared as a computer at home (I only paid $3 000,00 to IT... what I would have expected?  "I'm sarcastic to keep to go completely crazy.)

  It has been printing fine on all printers (two HP 4500, a HP 6500 and a very old Canon BJC 4400).  He will receive NO H.P. downloads software or AT ALL on printing of the H.P..

  PLEASSSSEEEEE HELP ME!   I'm at my wit's end.  Yet once, H.P. has a few download send me before I even found printers does not.  They would not work after I installed it and even NOW they still don't work.

  I've done stabbed to pick up the whole system and reinstall everything but as you, who are likely to pros, know, H.P. aren't configuration that can be restored more than the manufacturer's original no matter WHAT say their textbooks online.  It does NOT work.  The computer was delivered without manuals or software.  I had to buy the upgraded software separately since they refused, when I thought it wasn't the computer I ordered, to accept a return and provide the APPROPRIATE injector (I know, what a shock).

  PLEASE HELP ME!  I can't print anything.  I don't have the original disks for installing the printer... they will not accomplish.  H.P. downloads no longer work.

If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

  -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
  -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

• Error 1706 and restore Windows to previous state

  I have a 1706 error regarding a photo program pre-installed on my computer Dell in 2006.

  Search on the site Web of the seller said to find a particular .msi file and run the installation program that him, but a search of my computer files shows that I do not have this file.

  I searched the Internet and somewhere it was proposed to restore Windows to a previous state.  But when I do that, I get a message that the restore has not been made, and no changes have been made to my computer.

  I ran a registry repair, but that did not help.

  I have 2 separate problems here?  A Setup error AND a computer restore the question?  Or are they related in some way?

  You won't get any early responses constantly asking the same question (4 times in 4 minutes).

  I suggested that as a first step, you use the function "UNDO" - if available - in the program that you used to do the repair 'Register' and then uninstall and throw this program.  See http://chris.pirillo.com/are-registry-cleaners-safe-to-use/ , http://www.edbott.com/weblog/2005/04/why-i-don ' t-use - Registry cleaners / and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563254

  It seems that if you attempt to uninstall (or perhaps fix) an application program.  The MSI file is the Microsoft Installer file used to install the application in the first place.  The same file is also used to uninstall or repair the installation.  If this file was deleted a long time ago (or maybe even never present in the disk image of Dell that was used for the manufacture of your computer), System Restore won't help (don't).  System Restore is not a panacea.

  The usual method to solve problems in uninstalling applications is to install the application (which is to replace the missing msi file) again and then uninstall it.  Unfortunately, this does not work in all situations because some applications refuse to install if the old version is still present.  There are alternative methods - if uninstalling the app, that's what you try to do.

  It is possible that if you explain what you are trying to accomplish, someone may be able to provide a suggestion.

  To increase the probability of getting help, please provide the full text of the error message, and the name and version of the photo program.  Also, please provide the version of Windows you have, including the service pack (click right my computer and select properties for this info).  Because you have a Dell, provide your Number of Service Dell could also help.

• Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

  I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

  Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

  Hello

  Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

  a. close Windows Media Player.
  b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
  (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
  c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
  d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
  e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
  f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
  g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
  h. click on the search button.
  The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

  Method 2:
  You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
  Here's how:
  To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
  a. exit Windows Media Player.
  b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
  c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
     Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
  d. restart Windows Media Player.
  Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

  Hope this information is useful.

• Could not restore Windows 7 after Windows 8 Preview - TM2 version have restore DVD, always fails.

  Hello!  I'm about out of ideas on how to resolve this, so I'll do a summary of what I changed with the machine and then further troubleshooting details on.  The hp touchsmart PC portable individual I is a TM2-1079 cl, product number: WA812UA #ABA.  I got it for the length of 2012, I bought it used another person about 1 year ago now specifically to play with Windows 8, before his release.  Regarding materials real age, I can tell from the warranty information that it was made at the end of 2009, he stated the warranty period was from January 2010 to January 2011.

  Okay, so my story with the OS change goes:
  -> Bought this TM2 in early 2012, ran the recovery partition to wipe it clean from the previous use of owners and he went perfectly well, then a Windows 7 clean installation as if it were new.  I had also made use of an Acronis True Image 2010 boot disk to a hard disk image of the three than other recovery partitions (although I do not understand the freshly installed windows partition 7, thought it wouldn't matter if the recovery could do it's thing right?)
  -> A few days later, I loaded the second of the three Preview versions for Windows 8 above (Customer Preview build I think).   Everything worked well and it doubles starting between the two without problem, as far as I know, the only real made amounted to convert the main partition that Windows 7 was installed on an extended partition and splitting of existing Windows 7 partition everything also 50-50 indoor and extended partition.  She had also replaced the Boot Manager / bootloader which was there before, but once again not surprised.
  -> When the build of the Preview version was released over the summer I did an update from inside windows 8 and all seemed well again.  Change between builds two preview has developed a problem where I could not stop windows 8 without a handful of error boxes poping up to the top, but I'm pretty sure that was unrelated.
  --> More recently about time thanksgiving, I decided to give the laptop to a family member with an archiac office who has had problems and updated factor of old general who in fact does not.   This person is quite unfavorable for change so that everything "Win8-vs-what people are used" comes into play.   I decided to erase the TM2 clean to the BONE it comes with.    Here's where I'm stuck now:

  => Before doing anything I did a just incase, glad I did another true picture of the HARD drive.
  => I have tried F11 to load the recovery partition to see that, because of the bootloader be tampered with by Windows 8 it is really not to the HP recovery partition more while it is still on the hard drive.
  => Captures the image of hard drive since the beginning of the year with the partition recovery on it until windows 8 hit the machine, cleaned the hard drive completely, restored the disk image.   I could now enter HP recovery fine but...
  => I got a dialogue mistake right off the bat, saying that the recovery partition could not install and insert me CD 1 of recovery of education software.  Well I never did the dvd myself with the single use burning star when it worked so that is out and I did not buy the disks on the HP support site.   At this point I'm stumped, but why the recovery partition cannot install despite the computer load up in recovering very well.  For example, command prompt in the Windows PE environment is functional and all files seem to be present.   Maybe some checks as the recovery partition is not pirated could have been triggered by hard drive imaging, I'm really not sure?
  => I did then used the image of HARD drive, I had just created before trying it and restored the other copy of the reader (bootloader altered Win8, Win8 version preview, win7, the inaccessible and all recovery partition).   Windows 7 and 8 - RP can still start.   Google a bit on the recovery partition key (F11) is dirtied by Windows 8 and came to find that I had to only salvage value as the partition "Active" so he can start.  Sure, I have to start but I'm running into the same issue, where the real recovery partition loads but now refuses to start the process of restoring without HP dvd.  Because I know that for some it worked months ago I guess that once more, because I ended up restoring this version of the recovery partition it may also declared himself tampered with... great.
  -Online planned what to do a little and then finally just ordered the DVD from HP in December, I had specifically recovery DVD for my model and they weren't from HP directly, not second hand on ebay or another person.  Wasn't really that bad, $16, very reasonable price.  Should be just, legit OEM DVD to use?  Nope...
  => Came the DVD.  Two main recovery disks and a third for applications and drivers.   Start with disk one and he says is formatting the drive how he wants (good, I love it so far), copy all the content of the three disks on the hard drive and starts his reboot and install cycle.    Restarts a handful of times, you can tell that well after the copy of the content of the any disk and installing windows.  You see the logo Windows 7 boot a few times and even the standard background 'prepare your things' which is similar to the Windows 7 login screen.  The screen becomes certainly as far as the driver proper (and others I guess at that time here) such as changes in native resolution for LCD of the TM2 towards the end.
  -Online all of a sudden on the 3rd or 4th (I think) reboot of windows setup begins for a while then said stop, it restarts and it is back in Windows PE installation of recovery again (this time from the hard drive, not the DVD) and says that it has failed to restore and offers to start over from the beginning.

  This is where I am stuck.  The recovery Partition died on me post-Windows 8 and the official HP recovery DVD fail to me (and curiously they you apparently miss you in all stages of restoration windows 7, well after the DVD themselves are are most read from).

  > Question 1: is the "self-destruct" HP recovery partition if he gets imaged hard drive imaging software and restored?  I can confirm mine worked fine and then died after after crossing Acronis True Image.  Another possibility is that perhaps there is a certain ID or the tattoo of the hard disk or specific partitions that was lost when Windows 8 put his recent bootloader into the machine or lost of Acronis?  It's always the hdd oem supplied with the computer, it has not been turned out.
  > Question 2: are there known issues with the official recovery of Windows 7 DVD s for an end TM2 2009 1079 cl?  I also know the recovery of Cyberlink software fix / preinstall disc and tried this with results that were not different in without it.  That said, my machine has the version of the recovery software Cyberlink, I read something as software from 3 different companies for recovery depending on the period of time the laptop was manufactured and sold.
  Reference: [ http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=us&lc=en&softwareitem=pv-80183-1 ]
  > Question 3: clearly asked, what now?  Another thing to try or I have to go find a disc of windows 7 RTM and snatch all the zippers of all pilot?  (Quite hoping to avoid this, I'm actually curious enough to really understand what happened here and that will work he answered nothing.)  hehe).

  Perhaps of things this way: some research led me to believe have the WLAN switch off at the beginning of the recovery causes the driver to flip out (and win7 seems indeed dropping dead during the last steps of the installation of the driver) however it is not possible it seems to activate the wireless card 'on' before that point.  Switch do even when active state.   As I have already mentioned the recovery of Cyberlink software patch has no effect on things.   No parts have never been amended in this machine, the original hard drive, the wireless network card, modules, ram ect.   I doubt that the motherboard bios / firmware has never been States machinery, update is revision F.02.

  I have at my disposal:
  Much time, in fact, hense why I really want to know what has happened and do not use the disc of Win7 RTM.
  * disk hard recovery HP before addressed Win8 image machine.

  * disk hard recovery image after Win8 and a little bug, but still bootable Win8-RP.
  * The correct recovery DVD for my laptop HP-directed, ordered recently (December 2012).
  * Enough confidence to play with score editing tools would it be a suggestion, never really used much outside of gparted on discs live linux however.  In view of the current state of the machine there is nothing to lose much more than to risk.

  Sorry for the wall of text!  I love being very detailed!

  I actually had, pretty much on a whim of 'eh, might as well try it' too!

  So I told him earlier that it seemed obvious that most of the recovery completed well, something just kept arye until reset all cycles of the overall configuration process.   Seemed as if drivers were causing a problem because the display driver had obviously just finished installing a few moments before the final restart dead-end.  There was a lot of forum discussions there on different models of HP laptops, who need the wireless card to be placed in 'market' or restore might fail completely, I tried but the TM2 does not really allow you to change the WLAN State of 'off' when the operating system has already recognized (as in bios menus and windows install ", it stays just off even if you hit the switch).

  I decided to try pulling the mini-pcie card out of the machine completely and from configuration on and... It worked!  I had throughout a fresh Windows 7 and he even recreated my recovery partition correctly!

  Check in the C:\SwSetup\ directory after the installation was made, I found all the other drivers and a folder called 'WLAN', which was empty.   I guess that means if recovery is not material, then they choose even not copy the data to a certain device driver.   Because it was not present, everything that's wrong with installing drivers during recovery wireless cards never crashed the recovery all!

  I wonder if there isn't something wrong with the wireless card in my TM2 in all honesty.  I had a problem with it along since I got a year ago in this radius of reception was terrible and if I went that areas of the room of the wifi point he was likely to win.   Having said that it worked then I ignored it before.   Maybe the card is gone belly up and install recovery is not just installation to recognize errors in nonlethal pilot since the WIFI network?  He would fit with other peoples problems when WLAN is turned off as well at least.

  As a separate note, since the new year I've updated my personal machine (a HP DV6T) for one SSD and (without erasing my old HDD), I decided to try acronis imagery on this cover of machines and other partitions under Windows 7 itself for the SSD.   Of course, the same question appeared, recovery would not launch without the DVD.   Apparently Acronis True Image just cannot successfully restore HP to an image of partition recovery.   I don't pretend to know why but while the real partiton returns through restoration and environmental WinPE is running the effective recovery certainly does not aftering through an image .tib in the case of two separate HP machines.

  (For googlers who think so), these are two of the three questions, which I came across while doing this resolved and everything that I'm going to worry.

  > Windows 8 Preview mess with bootloaders, breaks recovery, I didn't figure out how to restore it.
  > Do not rely on an image of hard disk from the recovery partition, even if you can restore the partition and it opens to black recovery menu window it can still fail and ask the recovery dvd.  The recovery partition disk imaging is risky!

  > If your HP recovery (partition or dvd, or another) dies near the end of all this and turning on/off WLAN is not helping, try ripping off the mini-pcie for the restore time card and then reinsert once you return to an operating system clean, everything worked for me!  For reference, I don't know what model of wlan card that is exactly, but it's a Broadcom 802.11n adapter (HP alternative number? Not sure) SPS: 593837-001.  The driver will not be C:\SwSetup\ after the installation as the dvd won't copy out but plug in ethernet, windows update finds it easy.

• Pro 3500 G2 microtour HP: HP Pro 3500 G2 Microtour Win 7 32-bit drivers

  Hello

  I have a HP Pro 3500 G2 comes with FreeDos Microtour. I format for Windows 7 Professional 32 bit, however, in the support site, in the driver download page, I can only select 64 bit OS in the box!

  Where can I find the same Windows 7 Professional 32-bit drivers?

  Thank you

  How can it not support 32 bit OS? I'm not free to format my desktop computer I have it please?

  I found a better solution. Drivers 32 bit model HP Pro 3505 support and the material is the same.

  Thank you!

• XP PRO 3500 HP

  My company bought 50 pcs of Microtour HP Pro 3500 with free back installed and 50 OEM XP Pro license.

  Problem is that this model has a SATA hard drive. I tried to add some SATA drivers to my XP Pro cd, but it didn't work.

  Microtour HP Pro 3500 has H61Express chipsets but I could ' t find any SATA drivers with this name...

  Then... I need SATA drivers for this model. the rest is on the net, I guess.

  Thank you...

  Hello:

  Here is the link to the SATA drivers you need.  XP 32 bit is the second listed file.

  You can use this information to integrate the drivers if you don't already know how to do.

  Read the Intel section and then read the downloadable document for "slipstreaming" all pilots.

  If you use a USB floppy drive to install the driver at the F6 prompt, then you must use the up/down arrow keys to scroll and select the Intel (r) Desktop/Workstation/Server Express Chipset SATA AHCI Controller in the list.
