IM upset with my compaq hp perasio cq60-165-dx

I had no trouble with my laptop. I didn't have internet for two years after purchase, and when I finally have internet my computer is no longer under warranty. Now im having all this trouble because my original windows came with the laptop does not work. And so how now I have no boot mgr. The boot mgr is missing. What is happening and when I called for the support that they want me to pay more money to solve the problem. I paid $400 for a laptop that I can't even use. I need a laptop for school hp take trade.

IM so tired of this laptop, all I wanted was for someone to factory reset my laptop when I bought it all first.

  • Problem with the Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX

    Hello, I'm having a problem with my NEW Compaq Presario CQ60-216DX mother. Every time it boots up vista and I run internet explorer, I get a strange blue screen which exports a file memory and reboots.

    I have the feeling that this might have been caused by a virus, but I can't do something, because Vista can't reformat long for some reason any.

    I tried a hard test in my motherboard and he said that there is something wrong with my hard drive.

    I don't know what is happening, right now I'm in safe mode trying to find viruses that Nod32 does not detect everything.

    Can someone tell me how I can get either the Windows XP Discs to work at startup (which, for some reason, they do not), or an alternative to a long format?

    Is there a way to fix this without reformatting? There's almost nothing on this laptop anyway so I'm always willing to do. A regular format has done nothing to solve the problem, I did it with Ubuntu and it did a quick format, but I had no problem with Ubuntu. Then I reinstall Vista and I am constantly having problems with a blue screen of death.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    The Chemich does not exist

    If you want to do a reinstall of Vista then press F11 continuously during the boot upward. This will bring you in Recovery Options were you can choose to restore the system in the same State as when it was purchased. But if, as you suggested, is that a problem of hard drive reinstall won't help.

  • What 802.11n card internal work with a Compaq CQ60-212US?

    I hope to upgrade the laptop above to 802.11n, but I'm unable to find information on what the internal cards will work for her. It's an AMD Athlon X 2 sytem wiyh a Nvidia nforce chipset running Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. The card he uses currently (802. 11 b / G) is a card Atheros 5007 based (part #459339-003). Base HP/Compaq made an Atheros 802.11n 5009 (manufacturer 482260-001) card which I believe may work, but my model is not listed in the compatibility list and I know that HP/Compaq are one of the companies that uses a 'white list' in the BIOS to prevent unauthorized devices to use.  I tried to ask by e-mail and they would not check the number and directed me to call their purchases as part Surfer do not have the list. I called and they said, there is one that would work but it is out of stock and they have no ETA on this subject and of course would not check the number. Any info on 802.11n cards that would work in this laptop that I would like to upgrade to high speed and that the ethernet connection is part of the chipset (even though Device Manager it ID as a 10/100/1000 is only 10/100 ) it is the only road I have so any information would be appreciated.

    -After much research and hitting my head against the wall, I finally got my laptop upgraded using a HP 482260-001 internal NIC (a card Atheros 5009) based manufacturer and now have an 300Mbps connection solid of rock all the time. I know I've read a lot of the problems with this card so I thought I'd post a brief overview of what I had to do.

    First - before Exchange you cards (unless you can connect to a wired LAN cable outlet) download the latest driver from HP for the Atheros card - even if this computer only provided with the card (5007 based) G the downloaded driver supports card 5009 N. depends on how do you the next step, you can save the file on a USB Flash drive.

    Following installation the new card and either do a system restore to the point where the updates of Microsoft are deleted (it will mess up wireless connections - this too is a XP updates)-well mine did not for the next option was to do a full system restore to put the laptop to a 'new' State but mine has NEVER worked since the restore disks , I did or since the restore partition, so that leaves one last (option in addition to the PURCHASE of a set of disks to restore HP that they tried to sell me or uninstallation of 56 upgrades ONE BY ONE). If you know someone who has a Vista installation disc to borrow it and use the option UPGRADE to install the same version that you use the SAME key from the bottom of your laptop - this route 'upgrade' will restore your system with the original copy of Vista without losing any of your installed programs where are you got your restore to work , you would be at square one - you be the judge. Before anyone questions the legality of my last method here is the real deal - when you buy copy of Windows or a computer, you are not 'buy' Windows software - you pay for the license (as the key) to use a copy (unless you buy a copy of multi license) on a computer if Windows or use the method as long as you use YOUR key to install the SAME version of Windows is no legal - my installation activated with absolutely no problem and shows it as authentic.

    OK - now if you need to re - install the driver updated for the Atheros card and at that time you should be able to connect to your wireless network. In my case, it would only connect at 54Mbps, and it turns out he was addicted to router and nothing to do Wicker card or driver. I had read that Vista doesn't like WEP so I stop ALL security/encryption on the router and NIC (not a good idea in general, but just to test) and the connection turned up to 300Mbps (no, not the max of 270Mbps reported some have reported with this card). I tried to change security settings and he kept falling back to 54 Mbps and then I spotted this in the sidebar of my router (Netgear WNR3500) aid:

    "To achieve maximum wireless performance, as WN511B must connect to this router with the help of WPA2(with AES). «For the clients that connect to WPA - PSK (with TKIP), maximum speed wireless will be 802.11 g.»

    So I put the router for the listed specifications before and my Atheros card stuck to the solid 300Mbps. This last part watch is obviously a problem of router/nic as before when I was running mobile WEP another computer security (brand begins with G ;-)) was ongoing execution using a card Linksys under XP (a plug in one on the side) to 270Mbps but now under new security my Compaq runs on 300Mbps, my 'G' works to 270Mbps and my cable network is running at 1000Mbps, and everybody is happy!)

    The next step is to reinstall the updates of Windows one or 2 at a time until those that trashes the connection lies - uninstall and it block. When I get to this point I'll post the update # (unless someone beats me to it). It's a very summarized race to the bottom, so if you have any questions please message but I wanted people to know it's possible!

  • Hey I had a problem with my compaq cq62

    Well this is saying me tha theres no drivers on the pcwhen I try to program it, but on the screen after the compaq sign spell he found bootablr device. Insert a bootable CD, then press to continue, can I get help on this

    No boot device would mean that it cannot read a boot sector of any of the devices detected by your machine.  This could be because the hard drive is bad, the boot sector is damaged or you let a non bootable DVD/CD in the drive.  You can enter the bios and see if you have all of the hard drives listed or recognized by the system?  My best guess is that you have a problem with the hard drive.

  • HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF: MSI 770 2 GB graphics Nvidia GTX compatible with HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF?

    Hello

    I recently bought a HP Compaq 8200 Elite SFF and want to update the graphics card. My friend has a MSI Nvidia GTX 770 2 GB graphics card in sales and I was wondering if it would be compatible with my PC. I said I'll need to upgrade to the power. Will it be possible? If the graphics card of my friend is not compatible with my PC, what is the best graphics card (ideally a similar to the MSI Nvidia GTX 770 specs/price range) which will be compatible?

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • Problem with the Compaq 6715 network s

    Dears

    I have compaq 6715 s running windows XP SP3

    I have a problem with my network connections, whenever I am connected via the LAN port Ethernet, wireless connection is automatically disabled and I can't enable it.

    is this normal or should I do something to use both connections at the same time to connect to two different networks.

    Thanks in advance for your support

    Hello:

    This is perfectly normal, and you can fix it easily also.

    Go into the BIOS and in the sub-menu of device configuration, modify the LAN/WLAN, set active to disabled.

    Save the setting it by hitting the F10 key and again when you go out (save the settings and exit).

    Now the wireless stays on when you connect by using a LAN cable.

  • Problem connecting HP3055a with HP Compaq PC Tower

    I recently bought him scan printer above. Initially, using my Dell D510 computer laptop (Windows 7), installed the software, connected to my Netgear router and printed successfully.

    I have an old Tower of HP compaq (Windows 7) in my friends room and have tried in vain to connect to the printer even without success (after installation of the software). The only difference I see is that the PC has not built in wireless and I use a Netgear WG111T Adapter v2 connected USB to talk to my router. The PC connects fine to the router via this.

    During the implementation, once I typed the IP address and try to connect, the implementation of message - "cannot find printer ' appears with the usual basic suggestions to try."

    After completing all 7 pages of suggestions, I am still no wiser as to why my PC HP Compaq will not see the printer but the Dell laptop will be no problem.

    During the software install the last option to toolbar HP could not install correctly on both the laptop and PC, but the message said that this make any difference to the operation.

    The printer prints fine when hard cable for HP compaq PC.

    Any suggestions please?

    Hi mox53,

    I understand your concerns, but you indicated that the printer is connected and working on another laptop computer that tells the printer works. The problem you are having is that another computer is unable to communicate with the printer. Before you try to use a wireless adapter, I would you try the following steps below to help isolate a problem with the operating system, resulting in a part of the problem.

    Windows 7 and Windows Vista allows you to have multiple users share the same computer under their own individual accounts. This allows each user to have their own location on the computer where they can store their personal documents, photos, videos, saved games and other personal data. It also allows the owner of the computer assign some accounts the ability to perform administrative tasks such as installing software, while limiting the capabilities of the other user.

    This tutorial will guide you in creating a new account in Windows 7 and Windows Vista.

    1. Click the Start button. It's the small round button () in the lower left corner of your screen that has a Windows flag on it.
    2. Click on the Control Panel menu option.
    3. When Control Panel opens, you will see a screen similar to Figure 1 below.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with my Compaq Presario CQ5500F after a clean install of Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I recently did a clean install on my Compaq Presario CQ5500F desktop, but when I finished, I realized that I could not connect to wireless internet almost anything. To clarify, my internet worked before the clean install. I know exactly of what readers have been installed, but I do not know the network controller has a yellow question mark on it now. (See attached image)

    In addition, it seems that the computer does not have a wireless card although I was previously using an omnidirectional antenna external wireless connected to my wifi.

    I have already visited the HP/Compaq site here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4209... to install the drivers, but it seems that the network controller, it does not install correctly.

    Can someone help me please? I am very frustrated.

    In fact, I just solved it!

    I looked up the material ID I had just posted on Google and found that someone had the driver on his Skydrivefiles. Then I followed their instructions and went into the Device Manager and selected Update driver the driver of your properties of network adapters tab and pointed on the expanded files.

    Turns out I need files for Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card.

    Everything works again!

    Thanks for me direction in the right way, Paul!

    I hope that someone else has acquired this too!

  • What version of Microsoft Works is delivered with a Compaq R4010US computer? year 2005, XP

    I had to restore my computer a few months ago and when I did, the work has not been reinstalled. I bought Works 9, but I think I would have preferred the version that came with my computer. (mainly because I can't resize the window of processing for some reason any)

    I tried to ask HP, the manufacturer of the computer, what version it came with. The first person that I spoke to said that it is version 6. Later, I noticed that Wikipedia (the page of Microsoft Works) seems to hint that he was either version 7, 8 or 8.5. I tried to ask another worker of HP, who said that they do not have this information. Amazon sells several versions and version 8 is the first that indicates whether for an XP platform.

    If possible, can I degrade to version 8 or 8.5 works?

    Hello Asj127b,

    Let me see if I can explain what Shekhar was trying to convey.

    None of the operating systems of Microsoft such as Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 have an Office Suite or Microsoft Works. However, OEMs Original (OEM) such as Acer, Gateway, HP, Toshiba, Dell, etc. may decide to include different software that is pre-installed on their computer as a package with CD burning software, software etc. photo.  They will also sometimes offer a package of the printer, but it's the OEM. It does not come from Microsoft, the OEM had to buy the software to install on their computer. Or you can buy a package of details of the operating system. You would have to buy Microsoft Works separately.

    Therefore, we cannot tell you what version of Microsoft Works is installed on your HP computer. OEM, HP in your case should be able to tell what version of Microsoft Works is pre-installed with your computer model. The onus of HP to provide you with this information.

    I'm sorry that you are not satisfied with the version of Microsoft Works that you bought but you can get used to it, the more you use.

    Sincerely,
