• TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j040us Notebook PC-problem with internet gambling after upgrade to 8.1 windows

  I have a HP Envy 15-j040us Notebook PC Touchsmart is currently using 8.1 64-bit windows.  I play 2 Farmville on Facebook.  I started having problems after installing Windows 8.1.  My mouse hesitates and reluctant game and I can barely move on the screen.  I am not real computer savy but can follow directions if you can just tell me what I need to do to correct this.  Everything on the screen is just very slow and the mouse does not seem to want to go where I'm pointing to it.

  Hello @aodom ,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I see that you have any questions, play Farmville 2 since the update to Windows 8.1.

  First, update the drivers for your graphics (GPU) with the following download: driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

  Once you have done this, update Adobe Flash player plugin with the following download: Adobe - Flash Player

  Once you have updated the GPU and the Flash Player, disable hardware acceleration for Flash on your laptop:

  1. Right click any where on the Farmville game once it has loaded.
  2. Select settings.
  3. Make sure that you are on the tab display/graph (see image below).
  4. Clear the check box to enable hardware acceleration if it is available. If you are prompted to activate the control of your webcam or microphone that these steps do not apply because the game is not trying to use the acceleration.

  

  Let me know if it helps.

• HP Touchsmart PC Envy 15-j178ca laptop

  I want to run Train Simulator on the computer from 8.1 to win, but it will not install (old program). I have partitioned the hard drive and now want to install Windows 7 Professional on it from a 128 GB flash drive. I copied the cd in the drive, but it will not install. How do I install it without having to buy an external dvd optical drive.  Thank you!

• TouchSmart HP Envy 14 - laptop occasionally starts with black screen

  Hello and thank you for taking the time to look at my problem. My laptop is a HP Envy Touchsmart 14 8.1 Windows running. The product name is HP ENVY 14 Sleekbook TS and the number is E0M45UA # ABL

  My problem is that my computer occasionally starts with a blackscreen with my mouse in the Center. I can move the mouse but it will return to the Center after a few seconds. I can't seem to do anything but hold the power button and shut down my computer. After that I open it again, can I use my normal computer. I recently did an update of the BIOS of my computer and I don't know if that is causing the problem. How can I solve this problem?

  Hi Shibein:

• TouchSmart HP Envy 15-J104sa memory card reader does not

  I took delivery of a HP Touchsmart from Envy 15 - J104sa, running Windows 8.1 this week and the internal memory card reader does not work. It does not recognize SD cards (I tried more than one) and continues as if nothing has been inserted; Don't display an error message. The cards work on my previous HP laptop. The only way to get the laptop to show an inserted SD card is to run the driver software update (http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63001-63500/sp63415.exe) whenever an SD card is inserted; This must be done with the card in the reader. If the software is running and then the card nothing happens. If the card is ejected and then re-inserted (or a new card inserted) it is not recognized and the process must be restarted and the driver reinstalled even though nothing has changed.

  Can someone please help me with this question or I'll have to go back to the HP laptop. I do a lot of photography so being able to read fast and reliable SD card is extremely important for me; It is not a problem, I was expecting a new laptop all right out of the box.

  Thanks to you all.

  Unfortunately not, updates of driver solves the problem, but an update of the BIOS through the HP helper application seems to have resolved the issue. While I appreciate there were not specific drivers available in my opinion, it is difficult to accept that HP should be able to release a model where they know the equipment are not fully supported by the operating system and in this case does not work.

• Archive of TouchSmart HP ENVY 15-j051ea Notebook BIOS F.24

  Hello

  Is there anyway to get the previous version on the laptop bios?

  I've updated to the latest version F.43 for my TouchSmart from HP ENVY 15 - j051ea laptop and now refuses to boot from the HARD drive. Saying: there is no operating system.

  Is there a section archive somewhere that I can download the bios F.24?

  If there is can I just run the setup f.24 and crush f.43 with it?

  Thank you

  Thanks for the reply.

  It turns out that the legacy support has been disabled in the BIOS so I had to solve it it.

  Now works.

  Thank you

• HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop: seeking the machine with windows 8.1 - and the upgrade to 10.

  Hi all

  I am looking at buying a machine to re-furb.

  HP ENVY 17-N078CA laptop

  The machine has windows 8.1 and I wanted to know if there was problems with upgrade to windows 10.

  edillard

  Hello;
  
  Let me welcome you on the HP forums!
  
  I read your post about upgrading your PC to Win10 and wanted to help.

  While HP has not tested your PC with Win10 and has not certified it will work, the good news is that HP does not provide drivers for your PC Win10: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-17-n000-notebook-pc-touch/7777355/model/8429748#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

  If this page does not display the windows 10 when you open it, then click Edit and select Windows 10 in the menu drop-down.

  Unfortunately, the Win10 GoBack function is NOT reliable, and that can leave you with a corrupt machine that will require the factory reset and lose all that on it, to get it working again.
  
  You can avoid this by making an image backup to an external hard drive or a USB drive using Macrium reflect (MR), which provides a FREE version that can be used to image and restore partitions or drives together.
  
  What I recommend is the following:
  (1) download and install Macrium reflect (MR)
  (2) run M. and choose the option: "Create an image of the partition (s) required to backup and restore Windows" to write a full backup to an external drive or USB key
  (3) use the option to create a CD or a USB startup key
  
  NOW, you have the means to restore a full system that works for the external hard drive or USB key in a few minutes.

  Good luck

• HP ENVY 15-ae103no laptop: want damaged display, yellowish stains

  Hello

  I recently bought my computer, I noticed a spot yellowish on the screen when something dark is displayed. Now, he has started to grow.

  I look like this http://imgur.com/UCCiKPs

  I think it's something that puts pressure on the screen or something. Probably something behind the screen. The tasks also change in size and intensity when I move the screen from different positions.

  I have reproduced my TV screen and the second monitor, and the tasks does not show on them.

  I think it's something that should under warranty? Or maybe it's something that can be fixed in a local shop?

  Sorry for my bad English

  My HP ENVY dv6-7307tx laptop screen must be replaced because it has 3 vertical lines on the left side of the screen.

  I need to know, what I'll be able to fix a screen full hd 1080 p instead of 720 p hd screen. I think its possible because both screens the 40pin connector.
