  Hello

  First thing to do is to go to the HP website and see if the XP drivers are available for your model of HP.

  http://WWW8.HP.com/us/en/support-drivers.html

  If there is no XP drivers, XP does not work for you.

  If the XP drivers are available, looking for a place to buy XP, which is a terrible thing to do as Microsoft did not sell XP for many years.

  You run the very serious risk of buying pirated XP software from anywhere on the Net.

  Stay with your preinstalled Windows 8.

  See you soon.

• His jerky in Windows 7 and Realtek audio during playback of music - after the release of sleep

  Hello

  Lately I'm encounter problems playing music on my desktop PC and my house. My desktop PC is x 64 bit my home PC is x 86. What they have in common is a NVidia card (7300 on my PC at home while 9600 on my desktop PC) and MoBo integrated Realtek Sound Chip. The systems are up-to-date, the drivers are updated via the automatic updates. When I feel his jerky, I reboot the comptuer (s) and its good to happen for a few hours. I have no idea which can be triggered to become again a bit rough sound. Sound is at once during playback of movies using Windows Media Center (on my house cause of PC I don't watch movies at work lol: D), when you listen to music using media player or Winamp. Even when I'm not touching the PC so there's no great animation on the screen. If I turn off improvements in the sound Control Panel Applet, the sound is not so rough but will not solve this problem completely.

  Software that both computers have in common:

  • TeamViewer, Mikogo
  • Skype, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger (rarely signed), Google Talk (still signed to)
  • NCP Secure entry Client (using actively at work, I already uninstall-ed on my PC at home, the sound still jerky)
  • VMWare Server ActiveX control installed through IE (already using actively at work, uninstall-ed at home, always choppy sound)
  • Last.FM, Windows Media Player, Winamp, VLC, Miro
  • Wuala
  • uTorrent
  • Daemon Tools
  • RDTabs
  • Picasa
  • FFDShow
  • 7-zip
  • SmartDefrag
  • Office 2007
  • Visual Studio 2008, SQL Server management tools
  • SpeedFan, HWInfo32

  Suggestions to better diagnose the problem? It's kindda boring.

  Thank you
  Levi

  For those who have this problem and want to see if this resolves for you too: Click on your start ORB, type "services", press on enter, find and restart the "Microsoft Antimalware Service.  Turn on real-time protection if it is always disabled and performed before.  Check your sound, and it should be fixed!

  Vincent,

  I thank very you much for the suggestions!  Finally, some useful tips!

  I used FADS latency Checker and received peaks of 27,000 when he started to be choppy, 50 000 when it was quite rough, and really bad it had reached its maximum about 75 000 - 80, 000.

  When not jump and everything seems fine, as after a restart, the spike is not even go above 500 (if so, rarely and much higher).

  I know that material resources was not my prescription, as I am running out of 8 logical cores of 3 GHz and have 6 GB memory triple channel high speed of at least 50% most of the time.  When the bad audio dropouts are produced, I confirmed this (0-3% cpu usage) and 3 + GB available physical memory, even with my page file off to improve performance.

  While the auditor of latency DCP everything was in the Red (high values), I started through my services running and restarts, one by one.  Then I got to 'Base filtering engine', which has a description of: "the filter Base (BFE) engine is a service that manages firewall and Internet Protocol (IP, IPsec) security policies and implements user mode filtering. Stopping or disabling the BFE service will significantly reduce the security of the system. It will also result in unpredictable behavior in IPsec management and firewall applications. "I proceeded to try to restart, which pops up a message saying that 3 other services will also have to restart to restart: IPsec Policy Agent, the Windows Firewall and Microsoft Malware Protection network pilot.  I clicked 'Yes' to restart all of them, and after a few seconds, windows tells me "Windows could not stop the engine service of filtering based on Local computer.  Error 1051: a stop command was sent to a service that depend on other services running on. "If I click Ok and I look in the STC audit program and my latencies are all still red way and reading too high.  At this point, the windows firewall is disabled, all other 3 services work well.  So I try to restart again, and he succeeds.  Instantly, my auditor DCP is back green and low numbers (<500) and="" all="" audio="" skipping="" has=""> I still don't know what Department it is, because it could be these 3):

  1. the base filtering engine of
  2. IPsec policy agent
  3 Microsoft Malware Protection network driver

  Update:   Now that my sound was turned off again, I have to debug more, but I can't even see the third listed throughout the services, either on or off the coast, but restart the Policy Agent IPsec has nothing.  I restarted Microsoft Antimalware Service since he was the only one that sounded related to #3 above, and that did the trick, DCP levels and without legs instantly fell more.  I always do the same thing every two days or so, or sometimes once a day (depending on how much I use my audio...? maybe?)

  So, does make sense that this service could cause problems?  This means that it is not a driver - correct problem?  If this isn't a Realtek driver problem then it is matter of microsoft and will be fixed - this is their service and software that appear to be the cause of the issue / conflict with the driver.  I guess it could be either a problem, but the realtek and microsoft can fix it if they want to!  It would be nice not having to do now almost every day just to use the sound

  Thanks again Vincent!

• Envy 17 3010eg: upgrade to Windows 8 and update Bios: no switchable graphics and other problems

  Hello

  I'm of the Germany, but I'll do my best to write this in English.

  The product name and number: HP Envy 17 3010eg {information}

  Operating system: Windows 8 Pro 64-bit

  Drivers: everything up to date

   

  Long story short,

  I just wanted to upgrade the pre-installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit to the new Windows 8 Pro 64-bit.

  So I waited until the driver for Windows 8 support has been completed by HP.

  This month, I noticed that HP has released a graphic driver for Windows 8.

  Happy as I was I installed Windows 8 immediately via upgrade function.

  I installed all the missing drivers.

  * Update Bios to F.08*

  I noticed that I had to upgrade my Bios to version F.08 to install new graphics drivers. I did the upgrade and installation of the driver.

  BUT after the update to the version of the Bios the laptop only F.08 recognized the AMD graphics card. The integrated Intel HD 3000 graphics card had disappeared!

  Even after installing the new graphics driver, the Intel card is still missing in the 'Device Manager' of Windows 8.

  The battery life is now about 1 1/2 to 2 hours maximum because the laptop always uses the card AMD.

  So I looked in the 'new' Bios, but I have not found a way to change the graphics card. So I think that there is only a 'software' switch to do so.

  I have installed "AIDA64"and look under "Graphics".» The graphics card Intel HD 3000 has been mentioned as 'disabled'.

  Nice, but I have no idea how to turn it on again.

  So I re-installed Windows 8. This time, I did a completely clean install. With the same results.

  So, I switched to Windows 7, and there you go. Two graphics cards are displayed in "Device Manager" and the switchable graphics feature works perfectly (! even with the new version of the Bios F.08!).

  * Tested in Bios Version F.09*

  Yesterday, I noticed another Bios Update. This time in version F.09.

  So, I updated the Bios with Windows 7 installed.

  Everything went well (I thought!).

  Once, I've done a completely new installation of Windows 8 to take a peek, if Intel HD 3000 card will be recognized this time.

  BUT without success...

  So, I thought that the problem could only be Windows 8, because Windows 7 works perfectly.

  * Problems with Bios Version F.09*

  BUT then, I noticed a strange behaviour of my laptop:

  -proximity sensor no longer works

  -the keyboard backlight cannot be (DIS-) activated

  -the brightness of the backlight is half as usual

  -internal fans are going crazy-> they accelerate without reason (laptop is idle) and won't slow down until I do a re-boot

  * Version of the Bios downgraded to F.05*

  So, I spent to the version of the Bios to the older Version available: F05

  And I was a little shocked by the result.

  Windows 8 acknowledged the Intel HD 3000 graphics card again!

  The problem is the Bios!

  Then, I upgraded the version of Bios version to see which version of the cause of the problem:

  Œuvres F05

  Œuvres F.06

  F.08 does not work

  F.09 does not work

   

  So I decided to stay with the version F.06

  BUT to install the new Windows graphic 8 driver you need the version of Bios F.08 (min.).

  I installed the driver anyway...

  I found myself with a black screen... I had to reinstall Windows completely.

  Yet more long story short,

  I ended up using Windows 8 Pro 64 - bit with the graphics card AMD only.

  I also updated the Bios (back) to the version F.08 dispelled the problems with the version of the Bios F.09 I mentioned.

  So for the moment I am absolutely no idea what the problem might be.

  The support has not yet heard of these problems and I have not found any website which explains the same problem.

  Every posting, I found explains that the AMD card is not recognized by Windows 8 but Intel HD card.

  Someone else got the same problems?

  What do you think? Is it really a problem with the Bios?

  What can I do to solve the problem?

  for me the best driver are:

  http://leshcatlabs.NET/

  Works Perfekt (cards during execution of the F06 BIOS and a map when F08/09) and are updated often.

  I have Windows 7 and I was wondering if there was a version of Firefox called "Nightly"? The type of a Nightly.Ink file. Also, whenever I open 'Nightly' now, I get a popup of the program update and it says "update.exe". Is this a part of Firefox "Nightly" or is this a virus? Please answer this so I can relax. My email is [email protected]

  Every night (a1) and (a2) Aurora built updated every day, so if you use such a developer version you will see an update every day (sometimes more than once a day in the case of a respin). These alpha versions are more intended to be experienced testers, because you may experience stability and regression of the questions at any time. The beta version (currently Firefox 25) can be useful for testing Web sites to see if they're going to get broken in the next Firefox release and file a bug report, if necessary.

  Note that you must always install such version of development alongside a stable version and use a separate profile for each version folder.

• Update Windows 10 and OEM Office Starter

  I couldn't find anything about it except for Windows Media Center, that no longer work and when I downloaded the app it says there is no problem with my computer, but for another laptop, when I contacted the manufacturer, they said that Office Starter 2010 would no longer work after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows on a 64-bit 10 decided to keep Windows 7 only I have no desire to have to download the full version! I know there are freeware word processors and spreadsheets, but much like the Office Starter programs.

  My HP is a 32-bit and I have the same question. Let Office Starter 2010 after the upgrade? It came pre-installed HP.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  'Office Starter 2010' is a Microsoft product, I don't think that HP can control this. Microsoft has withdrawaled 'Office Starter 2010' of Windows 8 and I do not think that they would continue with Windows 10. Please check:

• Vista &gt; iTunes Windows 7 and migration

  Hello, first time poster.  I had an older iPad where I got my music on a laptop running Vista.  More recently, I got a new iPad 2 air.  I still had my music on the laptop for a while.  However, in the last two months, this capability was broken.  The version of iTunes on the laptop is 12.1.27.  I can use this version of iTunes to manage the music on the laptop of course, but when I plug the new iPad 2 Air it says "the iPad is unusable because it requires a newer version of iTunes.  «On itunes and download»  I'll download it and the link specifically says that I get iTunes 12.3.3 for Windows XP and Vista.  So it should be good.  However, when I install it says "iTunes requires that your computer is running Windows 7 or newer.

  I also don't seem to be able to migrate this iTunes on my Windows 7 (12.3.2.35) desktop configuration.  On the Windows 7 Desktop, I certainly can't change the song information and perform basic tasks.  Also, I can't seem to even add music to iPad 2 air, but I don't know because I can't sort the music for iPad on the iTunes for Windows 7.  The iTunes on my desktop Windows 7 also has other music files detected, it lacks most of the music on my laptop.  Of course, I don't want to spend weeks to make some kind of manual cross-checking one by one all of the databases involved and trying to get my computer to look just like the laptop.  There must be some kind of clever way to migrate here.  In particular why iTunes 12.3.3 for Windows XP and Vista would give such a message of error?  I am on iOS 9.3.1.  Thanks in advance.

  Update from Apple system is broken in that it offers 12.3.3 as valid version on Windows XP and Vista.  Support for Windows Vista (and XP) was abandoned when Apple iTunes 12.2 released last year.  The latest (and certainly last) version in support of Vista is 12.1.3.6 - this is an out-of-sequence of September 2015 version that adds support for iOS devices 9, but has no music to Apple and other features added in iTunes, 12.2 and 12.3.  Links for installers:

  • iTunes for Windows XP SP3 and Vista 32-bit 12.1.3.6: iTunesSetup.exe
  • iTunes for Windows Vista 64-bit 12.1.3.6: iTunes6464Setup.exe
  • iTunes 12.1.3.6 for Windows Vista, 64-bit "for older video cards': iTunes64Setup.exe

  The last of them is actually (as well as all editions of '64-bit' iTunes before 12.1.2) 32-bit application with a 64-bit Installer - this should be used if you get a warning message about the incompatibility of the video card and can also send questions with bad audio playback, integration with 3rd party software and the overall stability of iTunes.  However, f you only need to migrate the library from Vista to Windows 7, you do not need to update the software on the laptop.

  To transfer your library of the Vista desktop from Win7 laptop, you must copy the complete library from the first to the last.  To do this with iTunes does not not on a system.  If you follow default iTunes, source on the laptop folder is C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes - according to the size, you can copy it to a network using a USB key, or a disc hard external., this folder and all its contents should be copied in C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes on the desktop (you can also access it as C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes).  If you have not added new media to the desktop, you can simply replace all content existing there.  Then launch iTunes on the desktop and you should find your entire library restored for you.  Because this method transfers the iTunes as well as your media database, it has the added benefit that your iDevices will see this as 'the same' library, so you will have no problems with the content being removed from the iDevice when you synchronize.

  Once everything is copied, and you have verified the results, and if you don't plan to use the laptop Vista with iTunes again, make sure that remove you your Apple ID on this machine.

  The following links provide more information:

  • How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support - it's the 'official' documentation of the migration process
  • Make a library of portable split - steps that may be needed to bring the library on your laptop in the layout that makes it easy to migrate (applies only if you have media files outside of the standard folders iTunes Media or other changes made to the default functions of iTunes)
  • Backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library - medium recommended for the copy of your library to/from an external drive with a tool. s more reliable that the standard copy of Windows works (particularly relevant if you have a large library).  The same method can be used to create and maintain a backup of your iTunes library - something you should do frequently.
