• HP Probook 440 2 How to change the BIOS to work around the memory not supported the start-up message

  Hi everyone, first I would like to say that I find the list of operating system for the less "interesting".

  Now, I bought a G2 to replace my 4441S.

  The problem is that the momory I had gave me a message as "memory not supported."

  very well, I bought new memory, same problem with 2 brands, so I it's maybe because I bought 'normal' memory and not DDR3l?

  The thing is that I need this memory quickly and I can't find DDR3L, now I use corsair Vengeance and I need more on the lan function but this message that allow me to use the computer if I press on enter, have no countdown with option by default and no BIOS settings so I want to change that and either add a timeout that starts the laptop or just disable this message , because it works, I use it now.

  I need that until I can find the DDR3L.

  Thank you.

  You don't seem to understand how it works with primary and secondary memory voltage settings schedule and bus. the laptop BIOS ROM file includes settings in its encoding of the memory modules that meet the compatibility requirements. If you install memory that has not been tested for compatibility, so it will not work or even it seems to work, it will be unstable.

  A BIOS of the laptop is quite unlike a BIOS that is present in a motherboard level amateur games. There are no timings adjustable and tensions to the timings of the memory or bus in a laptop BIOS BIOS standard voltages. It actually is to protect the owners from themselves.  You "do not 1.5 and 1.35. You can't change the setting of the voltage on the bus to do anything other than what is defined in the BIOS. If you install the module memory does not accept the voltage set by the BIOS code, then you are simply out of luck.

  Check out the BIOS Modding forums if you want to see what options may be made available.

  ERICO, exchanging, I'll be able to boot from my SSD, but I don't always get to choose which drive I want to start, right?  That's right

  If you install Linux on the disk hard inheritance after Windows 7 has already been installed on the SSD drive and use the GRUB boot loader, it should be doable.

• ProBook G3 450: I've updated the bios on my g3 Probook 450 and now potrs usb do not work

  I've updated the bios and after restarting the pc no usb port work and the usb serial bus is not listed in Device Manager. I have not received any error.

  Hi Richrob,

  Usually after the BIOS updates I recommend restoring the default BIOS because some parameters may change or managed power States must be refreshed. If you start at the F10 menu there will be a restoration of the default BIOS on the home page.

  If the USB bus does not return to the top after restoring default values, try to reinstall the USB driver. You can find the latest version for Windows 7 here.

• HP Probook s 4440: the update of the BIOS under Linux

  I did recently on my HP ProBook 450 G2 Kubuntu Linux 15.10 running.

  A new version of the BIOS (01.16 Rev.A 1 December 2015) was available, but for Windows only.

  What I had to do to install the BIOS under Linux:

  * Download the exe file (for example: sp74048.exe): this is an archive

  * unpack with 7zip

  * go to my laptop configuration: restart, press [ESC] >

  Configuration of the BIOS F10 > MAIN > system update BIOS > BIOS update using local media

  * read the instructions:

  "Place the system on a FAT32 partition no BIOS BIN file more

  on the system or on a removable USB hard drive

  under the folder "Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\New.

  Then, add or verify that the HP Bios update utility (HpBiosUpdate.efi)

  and the signature file (HpBiosUpdate.s12) are

  on the same partition FAT32 under

  the path to the following folder: "Hewlett-Packard\BIOSUpdate. »

  * Take a flash drive, create the folder ""Hewlett-Packard\BIOS\ " "

  copy the whole folder "BIOSUpdate" since the original installation file for her

  create the "New" folder and copy the bin on it (in my case "M74_0116.bin")

  * If at the end, the flash drive looks like this:

  \---Hewlett-Packard

  + - BIOS

  | \---New

  |      Mxx_xxxx. bin

  |

  \---BIOSUpdate

  all files here

  * place the flash drive in the laptop and "BIOS update using local media" hit the button [I accept] below "the system BIOS will be updated immediately.'." "

  Then update the BIOS HP appears saying: the system BIOS is updated day. > writing new BIOS Image. > Veryfying new BIOS Image. > restart.

  Fact.

  It is really beyond me why HP does not provide a simple archive with the appropriate directory structure and a readme file so that anyone could update the BIOS regardless of operating system.

  Warning: I'm just an average Linux user. This procedure worked for me, but before use, you must consider the risks for yourself. You SHOULD know what you're doing.

• "The document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.

  I suddenly can't open one of my docs of numbers. I get a msg "'name of the doc' document is not valid. The index.xml file is missing.  I literally had the open document this morning without problem, closed, tried to reopen and now I get this msg... all in the same session of the computer. It began not after an update or anything like that, right in the middle of a session of the computer.  You seem to affect all the docs of numbers.  I can't open an any of them now.  I am running OS X El Capitan Version 10.11 and numbers 09, Version 2.1.

  Hi jg,.

  The case usual this message, it is that the document has been opened in numbers version 3.xx, which converts it into a new file version that uses the file index.xml internal requested by Numbers ' 09.

  You have 3 numbers installed on your machine? This file has already been opened in this application?

  The file was saved to iCloud or opened by the iOS version numbers or numbers for iCloud?

  Recommended 'cure' is to open the file using the 3 numbers, then save as... or export to format Numbers ' 09. As a result, remember numbers to quit smoking (v3) - menu numbers > numbers to quit smoking; by clicking on the red light closed the file, but doesn't end numbers. So avoid open numbers files by double-clicking on the file itself.

  Instead, start Numbers ' 09 (v2.3) and open the file in the application.

  I found that my Norton Toolbar had been disabled so I enabled it. When I tried the site it worked. Go figure.

• Recently downloaded version 9.0.1 and the url is not valid for the default home page. The default home page is still supported?

  I currently have www.google.com set as my homepage, but Firefox says that the url is not valid for the default home page.

  The problem is now solved with the current version of Firefox 10.0. Thanks for the help ccbrunt and SafeBrowser.

• Why, yesterday evening, I receive the message that the security certificate is not valid on the sites that I use all the time, as my account hotmail, facebook, paypal, etc.?

  I even got this message when I tried to post my question! It is said that Firefox can not verify a connection with mozilla, or any website, I am visiting, because the security certificate is not valid. It gives even the dates to which the certificate will be valid, and the date indicates that it is valid. So frustrating! I "replace" Firefox every time.

  The date / time set correctly in Windows Vista?

  Hello

  As far as I know and after the guarantee page ÉMAÉ Toshiba, Toshiba computers laptops, Netbooks and Smartbooks are covered by at least 1 year EMEA standard warranty, valid from the date of purchase.
  This warranty is applicable only in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

  You can find more details here on this Toshiba European page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/services/standard-warranty/

  Here you can find the PDF EMEA warranty info.

  So if you're outside the region of EMAE and if you don t have bought additional warranty extensions, you will have to pay for the service :(

• HP Probook 650 G1: How to disable the keys way to Probook 650 G1 running Windows 7, 64-bit

  I just bought a HP Probook G1, intel i7 650 - 4600 m, system BIOS 01.34-08/28/2015, keyboard review KBC 16.3 C version.

  ESC and F1 through F12 function keys seem to be in the Mode of action key (for example flight gives HP, F6 system information allows you to change the audio levels, etc.)- and I prefer to keep the standard functions of these keys (for shortcuts in Word and Excel, also for Express Scribe transcription software).

  I found Ctrl + Fn + the function key corresponding is workaround to achieve some (but not all) the standard functions - but which is cumbersome when used frequently. Workaround doesn't seem to work for the ESC key.

  I saw a few tips on how to disable the Mode keys on some laptops HP - eg
  http://support.HP.com/au-en/document/c02035108

  - and I have used this method on the previous laptop HP (e.g. Pavilion G6), but it does not work for this Probook. The configuration screen of the BIOS on my new machine does not seem to show the key Action Mode (or same System Configuration) as an option.

  I would be grateful for suggestions.

  Problem is now resolved, thanks to HP Technical Support phone line. Their tips were:

  * go to the BIOS Setup in the usual way (shut down, then power on, press ESC, choose F10 for Bios configuration)

  * Choose the Information System

  * arrow above to advance

  * Choose the Configuration of the device

  * Uncheck the Fn key switch

  * Save, etc.

  The corresponding option is more referred to Action Mode button for this model of HP laptop, at least not for the version of BIOS this Probook 650 G1 (worm 1.36, 25/04/2016).
