My new laptop has a popup window "HP Update" intermittently.

This popup says an update is available & asks me if I want to download & install it, but do not give me any button or option to select.  It won't let me close sort of, including the difficult task manager.  When checking with HP support assistant, he says that my computer is up to date.  Anyone know anything about this popup & how to get rid of him, short of a reboot?

  • new laptop has no function of cd, how do I install acrobat 7.0

    My new laptop has no function of cd to insert me installation disk, how to install acrobat 7 with just a serial number?

    The "activation server" Adobe, which allow you to install and use, was turned off years. You cannot use your CD in all cases. (Although it is external plugin CDs are cheap, easy to use and almost essential).

    There is a special Acrobat 7 download for users dismissed (with the new series)... but it won't work on existing systems. Unless you have Windows Vista, 32-bit, and the more you will probably need to purchase Acrobat again. (No upgrade more, sad to say).

  • Laptop HP 17-x025na: my new laptop has memory locations two or one?

    Hello

    I recently received my new laptop that comes with a single stick of 8 GB of SK Hynix 2133 MHz memory.

    Although I don't have an immediate need, in the past, I always looked to see what an update would cost by downloading and running, say, the Crucial scanner. However, it is not displayed if there is an upgrade. It is not clear if the laptop comes with memory slots two or one.

    If someone can advise, it would be great, and if someone has updated to add another 8Gb, it was easy? I want to especially take my new machine apart as much as it seems I have to take several bits for the memory unlike my laptops more alumni who were the subject of a single panel.

    Thank you very much

    You are the very welcome.

    Yes, I'm also surprised that the Crucial Scanner does not recount this info.

    I compressed upward and set free material utility Info below.

    Unzip and run the file and it will let know you all the info on your PC.

    On the right side of the main window of the page, there is a section of memory Modules.

    Drop down on it and it should show you the slots populated.

    Then then closing this window, on the left side of the window, there is a section of memory which should also show the machines and the memory slot.

    You should be able to go to the Crucial site and manually find the memory you need by filling out the PC info.

  • My new laptop has crashed and disk backup does not work, can download a boot disk for Windows 7, I hit legitimate?

    My Acer 5745 laptop crashed, my backup boot drive does not work. The laptop was running Windows 7 when I bought new in November 2010. Y at - it somewhere that I can download a floppy or a recovery disc?  'The Source' store where I bought will not help, they said they had to go back to Acer and it could take up to two months to return to a charge of about $170.

    Thanks for any help, someone might be able to give.

    A laptop bought at that date will still be under warranty, there should be no costs involved, contact Acer technical support.

    I guess by the backup startup disk, you mean the set of recovery disks you did when you first used the PC?

  • How will I know if my new laptop has Windows 8 Pro

    I bought two Dell systems.  One was the M6700 I knew had top Windows 8 Pro and I installed Media Center with the Microsoft product key sent to me.  I went back to the system due to SIGNIFICANT and costly Pro Tech support.  After 26 days, they refused to fix the screen would dim every 3 minutes, saying: "if he wasn't a yellow bang in Device Manager it was not their problem.  The last day, I accidentally found a Dell program that controlled the graphic setting called color Dell Premier.  I decided to go back to the workstation even though it was a great system.  I didn't look forward to 3 years technical support useless and frustrating to a value of $350.

    A month later, I bought an Alienware technical support personnel system is so much better.  I worked with them for years and never had the problems I had with the support of Corp.

    Since it has been a month and I had just finished a factory on the M6700 system restore, I felt that I would have been able to use the product key for the Media Center.  However after working with a Microsoft Tech today for an hour. He seemed to feel that the Media Center button would not work on this system for two possible reasons. 1. what it cannot be Pro Windows 8 or 2. The key somehow was not removed from the M6700 after the factory restore.

    So before having any contact with Pro support, I would like to know how I can tell if this system or does not have Windows 8 Pro.  I don't remember if the Windows 8 Pro showed in the system information report.  Or if she could be considered under control panel - system.  I tried to run the update on the upgrade assessment and who has failed for some reason, saying: it was not available in my country.  What is the United States.  It seems that the system is configured for which English is the language.  Given that I didn't get through a full installation of Windows as if I installed the program as you would if it was Windows 7 system comes through a Microsoft Agreement which I checked and then configure the network online and I logged on.  I was not even given the opportunity to choose the name of system I need to change.

    I'm a little lost at this stage to say the least.  If Microsoft technology could not tell if it is Windows 8 Pro, do not want to assume that the OEM support would be.

    I have the disc that came with the M6700 and I it matched with the disc that came with this system.  Both drives have the same part number and both claim it's for Windows 8 Recovery Media for Windows 8 products.

    So it is a Question of two parts:

    1. How will I know if I have installed Windows 8 Pro &

    2. How can I get my product key Media Center back?

    Thank you for your support.

  • Have 12 items. Many worked on 8.1, my new laptop has Windows 10. Now the elements photo editing software will open the image in raw, but once I did my settings and try to 'open image', it tells me it "cannot complete my request because an error occurred."

    Well, I typed my question in my title.  I have had absolutely no problem under windows 8.1 to 12 items, but unfortunately the death of my laptop could not be repaired, so I had to get a new 8.1 one and that time windows was no longer available on the laptop I wanted. Who would have the go-getter, comparable to my old and able to handle my photography.  SO I have an I7 processor 2.6 Ghz with 6 MB of cache and 16 GB of Ram with Windows 10 64-bit operating system.

    As indicated above, while the Publisher will open the photos in camera raw, once I made my changes and try to "open image" I get the message he, "it cannot complete my request because an error occurred." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times with the same results.  I made also all updates have been made. About 10% of the time, it will open up the photo, but then when I try to record it says that I don't have enough memory.  Do not know how this can be, this configuration of the computer is basically the same as my other, only difference is windows 10.  Not even close to a full hard drive. No other program running. Help!

  • Got a new laptop, has win8.1. I am able to go down to win7?

    Hey thanks for the research. I just got a HP Envy 17-j184nr. It comes with Windows 8.1. Nice series. But I perfer Windows 7 plus 8/8.1. I am able to go down? I know on another hp computer in my house (among the less expensive, under $400) you can not. I also had a new ssd to go with it. Maybe I could clone my hard drive of Windows 7 instead of 8.1 hdd?

    Thank you

    Shane

    If you still want to install Windows 7 64-bit on your laptop of HP ENVY 17-j184nr, please read the following:

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP cannot provide the drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    Your computer does not have Microsoft's Downgrade rights and you must buy a copy of Windows 7 with a valid Microsoft COA and product key.

    The screenshots below is from a laptop HP 15 t-j100... options and the configuration on your computer screens may differ.

    You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

    After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

    If you install Windows 7 from a USB and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '.

    In addition, as the factory hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

    I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

    From the top...

    Download f6flpy-x 64.zip, extract the files/folders and place it on a USB Flash drive.

    (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

    3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

    4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

    5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

    (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

    (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

    (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

    (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

    (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

    11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

    (12) you may need to provide Intel SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...  Insert the USB Flash drive with drivers Intel SATA\RAID previously extracted.

    (13) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

    Most of the 64 - bit drivers Windows 7 from the HP ENVY 17-j184nr laptop drivers page should work on your computer. Please message the Windows Device Manager (text only) "Hardware ID" of all remaining missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.

    If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

    Please click the 'Thumbs Up' white LAURELS to show your appreciation

  • New laptop is suddenly slow: Windows 8

    My laptop worked perfectly well without any problems. One day, I turned on my laptop and it said that my firewall was disabled. I found it strange and tried to activate the firewall of windows defender, but every time I tried, nothing would happen. Then I started to receive notifications that my McAfee Firewall has been disabled. My laptop came with a trial of McAfee, but I no longer use it, I have Avast antivirus. After these notifications is appeared about 3 or 4 times, my laptop, then started running slowly. Google chrome does not open, the Task Manager does not, in fact the computer closed off chance downs saying 'an error occurred', or it will freeze just say its unresponsive. All this occurred spontaneously. Now it will always run slow or just freeze, but when for some reason any does not slow down or stop, it will work fine for a short period of time and then freeze. The laptop is around the age of 3 months and has Windows 8. I also tried several times to restart the computer, but it stops responding during restart.

    I think only about how this could have happened, is that there is some sort of virus, antivirus and firewalls were send me notifications. I have also tried to conduct analyses of the system complete, but just, the computer stops responding and stops at 1%.

    Hi ChadYT. I was wondering if you solved this? Thank you. LZ.

  • New laptop: product upgrade to Windows 10, confused activation Code.

    Tried going to Win 10.  Machine directly from the factory, never used.

    Requests product key as not active.  But as OEM no key available.

    CTRL-X system says not active.  Press activate and it said: everything is done.    Option not on Metro "change PC settings."

    Nothing unusual.  This should apply for 99% of users.

    The solution is that, somehow, this machine hardly used became totally corrupt.  Wifi networking stopped and activation has been confused.

    So a factory full reset (nothing else would do) and then everything worked correctly.

    Lessons

    • The system report Windows-X of the activation status is significant noise and not only.  If it says not active there is a real problem to solve, even if the tricks of metro says it is activated.

    Thanks for those who have tried to help.
