Need a boost with an old desk Pavilion 523

I'm trying to upgrade the hard drive in this dinosaur to a 320 GB, but it seems that for the MB BIOS will not recognize a big player.  Problem is, I don't know what kind of motherboard it is.  The HP spec page for [523] does not specify the motherboard that came with the box.  Anyone know what kind of Mo provided with these boxes and if there is a BIOS that supports supported a 320 GB HARD drive?  Thank you

I think that the biggest hard drive I have ever installed in one of this vintage is a 120 GB. Not to say that a 160 GB may not work, but I know nothing more that would be.

  • I changed my email address, now whenever I need to download the updates it tells me to connect with the old address, even though I changed mt apple ID. Why my old email address come upward instead of my news?

    Have two old CD/DVD with the old movies of family 8mm on them.  When I try toopen them I get a statement that ' cannot they in format Samsung "suggestions?

    that is a difficult question. Try VLC to see if it will open to them. Usually when the disc appears on the desktop, if you click on it and let go, then press the clover sheet and I (get info command), you should be able to choose which application/program can open them. I have not already heard talk of the "samsung" format, I know there is a stranger there (lie format MTS from Sony). Regarding the conversion of them, maybe MPEG streamclip or hand brake? worst case scenario, you may need to spend some money to buy a video conversion app/program

  • Problem of sound with Skype only - HP Pavilion laptop Windows 7 x 64

    I have problems with the sound with Skype only - all other software that requires a sound work fine.  I don't hear my correspondent.  My Skype settings seem to agree and I get no error message.

    I run 7 x 64 window.  I have a laptop HP Pavilion G7.

    Any help?

    Hello

    Sorry, you have problems. For Windows 7, try this:

    Sign in to Skype. Click Tools at the top of the window, and then select Options in the menu drop-down. Click Audio settings in the left pane. Under the speakers, you can:

    • Use the Volume slider to adjust the volume.
    • Click on the arrow down in the drop-down menu to select the appropriate stakeholders.
    • Test the speakers by clicking on the green arrow next to the drop-down list of speakers.
    • Click on the link to make a free test call to make a test call.

    It may be a good idea to plug a headset as a test to see if it works. You don't need a headset with a microphone; Just use any headset allows you to listen to your music on your iPod. The nice thing about using a stereo headset is that you can always talk through the microphone on your computer, but only you will hear responses from your correspondents, and is as much your comments.

    Skype has a document of support practice that may help you: I can't hear my friend... (Windows desktop) .

    And now, the delicate question: it is possible that your friend accidentally cut his microphone? Or what is happening with all of your calls?

  • How to see what the music is associated with one old apple ID?

    I have a huge itunes library.  I bought a lot of music itunes ten years, but I no longer remember the password associated with the account and can't get back into that old email.

    A lot of old pop albums now upward with a prompt to enter in this old apple ID and password. ("This computer is not allowed to read _.  You want to allow? ") I think it's impossible that Apple will never be persuaded to grant me access to the purchase of my old, because of course that they would prefer just to buy it all again.  It was all accounts in debit of one thousand cards, different States, different computers, PC, mac, etc. only my name is the same.  If I'm wrong, pls let me know.

    At this point, I just want to replace it all myself, but I don't know what to replace.  Is there a way to identify what parts of my library are associated with a particular apple id without actually connecting to this id?

    I think it's impossible that Apple will never be persuaded to grant me access to the purchase of my old, because of course that they would prefer just to buy it all again.

    I don't think that's true.  Apple profit comes mainly from the sale of hardware products.  Services such as iTunes Store probably make money, but they also exist for 'value' for Apple hardware customers, so that they will continue to Apple hardware customers.  According to my experience, customers of iTunes Store was accommodating when I needed their help to fix a problem with my iTunes Store account.

    You will need to contact them directly, however (don't be not contradictory).  Most of the responses here (Apple users discussion forum) are your fellow users of Apple, but I saw a response with an Apple logo recently, in the section below.  I think the answer applies to your situation

    My iMac won't play songs purchased with an ID previous Apple is in the system.iMac, 2.8 Ghz, 4 GB Ram, OSX 10.11.2, iTunes 12.3.2.35

    The key is to get your reactive old Apple ID.  You may be able to retrieve your forgotten password.  If you do this, you can allow your current with this old ID Apple Mac (although it is authorized for former and current Apple ID), and these old purchased songs will play.

    Hello

    You need two cables, one is a sata cable:

    http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/STARTech-com-6in-SATA-to-right-angle-SATA-serial-ATA-cable-female-SATA-female-SATA-6-inch-red/ListingDetails.html?_%24JA=TSID:13315% 7Ccat: 30305659% 7Cprd: 30305659 & kw = {keyword}

    This cable is only for data and connect the hard drive to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    The other cable is energy:

    http://www.itpartsdirect.com/STARTech-15-24cm-4-pin-Molex-to-SATA-power-cable-adaptor.html

    It connects the hard drive to the PSU.

    You can also buy a combo like this cable:

    http://www.Amazon.co.UK/DP/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4

    All you have to do is to connect the hard drive and that's it. Make sure that the main drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are the numbers 1, 2, 3...)

  • How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    original title: operating system

    My old laptop has ceased to exist. How can I get permission to install operating system on a new PC? I provided with the old laptop installation discs, but permission to install them on the new PC is denied.

    If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Get the new laptop, what to do with my old

    I have a Compaq Presario CQ 60 2008. It is short-term memory. Technical Support function, I need to upgrade my laptop at least 8 GB of memory. If I do this, will it put something else to manage the memory upgrade?

    According to the post, I have read here, being my OS was oringinally XP, upgrade to Windows 7 with Microsoft and is a 32-bit... I understand that it will only move to 4 GB. But support says that I need 8GB.

    It's old and nearlly complete. I do not know how to clean 3 years of studies to it. I have a backup disk. (15 CD)

    I probably just need a new, but what I do with this old? It always works well.

    I'm a nursing student full time I'm going to need a lot of ram to our interactive graphic software.

    Can anyone provide a bit of advice well informed as to what I should do?

    If I update, what do I need to upgrade in addition to memory.

    If I buy a new one, what should I do with this one because it still works well. ?

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hello

    Interactive graphical software, I think that you need a better graphics card in your system more than anything else. 8 GB memory minimum is recommended however. I don't know if your processor is large enough for these tasks too.

    Windows 7 32 bit can use up to ~3.75gb so upgrade up to 4 GB of RAM, is profitable.
    If you need to use 8 GB, you must install 64-bit Windows 7 (you can install Windows 7 64 bit with the same authentic product key, you used to install the 32 bit OS, you just need ISO file Windows 7 64 bit to make the Windows installation disc)

    You didn't on your laptop - exact model number, the name of the template?

    If the cost of doing all these upgrade is superior to the performance's will offer its do better with laptop cheap with many more performance box. That you have to search and find.

    Rather than burn your data & other files on CD, I suggest you just buy an external hard drive. You can get 500 GB, 1 TB of external hard drives ($70).

    Hello

    This problem can occur for the following reasons:

    • Auto-hide the taskbar has been selected for the taskbar and Start Menu Properties.
    • Your user account settings are corrupt.
    • The core files are damaged.
    • The Explorer.exe file does not load at startup.

    Please refer to:

    After the Windows Logo appears or after you log in to Windows, a Windows XP computer cannot display the wallpaper, a black screen or a blue screen

    You can back up data to an external hard drive and no CD. It is essential to back up data even if you do an upgrade on the spot.

    I NEED A DRIVER for MY OLD BENQ DVD DD DW 1650 HELP if you please. I would like to burn DVD & CD

    I would go as far as to say that you you need a third-party software to burn the DVD. XP should be able to burn CDs, but I recommend the use of third party for both DVD and CDsoftware. I hope that this will have been provided with your PC and/or an optical drive.

    Keep away from products of packet writing if you can (for example, Nero InCD), I found that it is a very reliable way of writing optical media.
