However, the laptop is eligible for the Windows 7 upgrade program and I got the kit upgrade (education and Windows 7 upgrade media) HP. I've upgraded to WIndows 7 Service pack 1.
Now, the laptop has accumulated a shere rates of virus/spyware/malware etc and unusable slow operation.
I want to reinstall WIndows 7 in order to clean it thoroughly.
I ran the manager upgrade HP DVD. So I ran the drive of the Windows 7 operating system. Chose the upgrade. I got the following error:
The following problems prevent upgrade Windows. Cancel the upgrade, perform each task and then restart the upgrade to continue.
- Your current version of Windows is more recent than the version that you are trying to level to. Windows is unable to complete the upgrade.
The upgrade of Windows will affect the following programs or devices:

Cancel the upgrade, open the control panel and search for "update device drivers" or go to the website of the manufacturer of the device to search for updated drivers.

As a result of some messages in the support forum, I uninstalled 'HP Quick Launch Buttons'.
Then tried to run the upgrade. I'm still getting:

Please ADVISE HOW can I REINSTALL WINDOWS 7 and CLEAN MY NOTEBOOK PC ONCE AND FOR ALL.
Thank you
Vidya, thank you very much for your super fast response. I followed your option no. 1. The PC is now 2 Windows 7 upgrade. There seems to be a problem with a driver/software. After a start, I get a pop-up window with "HP MediaSmart has stopped working". Close the application. Any suggestion?
In addition, how can I upgrade to Service Pack 1?
Thanks again.

How to install hp dvd with the software and drivers, which came with a recovery CD?
G72 259WM laptop... The application and Driver Recovery DVD supplied with the recovery kit (3 DVDs) was not loaded on my laptop when the hard drive has been replaced. I want to intall it butg there install the files on DVD and windows does not load it automatically. I just want my laptop to factory as it was when I bought the system.
[personal information] I could not find a way to do this, please help! Thanks in advance!
The shop obviously does not use your recovery disks to install Windows on the new drive. I had suspected that when you said that none of the original software has been installed. Recovery Manager also would have been installed.
I would go back to the shop, with the recovery discs in hand and ask that they make a correct installation, or do the installation yourself. Put the first disk in the CD/DVD drive, and then restart the laptop. If you get a prompt to hit any key to boot from the CD/DVD, press the space bar.

I printed the file 'Actions.pdf' at the time where I was using version 6.0, the latest version it comes with, but printing is starting to wear.
I searched high and low for this file with no luck. There is a reference to it in one of the forums, but the link opens a page linked to Acrobat, not Photoshop.
I'm a registered user of Photoshop since version 4.0, I would have thought that Adobe would make the file available to those who had it. It is that recently I realized that it was not included with all versions since 6.0.
It's on the way

I downloaded the iso file of windows 7 Home premium 64-bit. can I use the product key to my Home Premium pre installed windows 7 64-bit OS that are in my label of windows laptop back...
Original title: the Windows 7 product key
Yes you can. To learn more:
If your computer is pre-installed with Windows 7 Home Premium, you should have a recovery if partition:
New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.
This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...
For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device
For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device
For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward
For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo
For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.
For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...
For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power
Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"
Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".
------------------------
If the recovery partition is damaged or does not, you can then use the downloaded Home Premium as an alternative.

recently purchased a samsung NX30 camera which came with lightroom 5, after several hours of searching on Google I got it setup properly with the right camera raw to be able to access my raw images. I found that my old laptop is very slow during the processing of hundreds of images that I usually take on a weekly basis. I bought a new faster laptop, but when I looked for the cd with the software of series and I couldn't find in the mess of Christmas. I downloaded a trial version of lightroom and got, it works on my new laptop. Is there a way to access the serial number of my version already installed and insert it in the version of track to make it work for me?
Myron
If you take the time to register to your original with Adobe installation (which most people do not), you can log in to your Adobe account and get the serial number. If you use a Windows computer and still have access to the old computer where Lightroom is installed, you can do the following:
1. in the window folder options, make sure that you are able to see hidden folders.
2. go to the C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Lightroom folder.
3. use Notepad to open the file, Lightroom 5.0 Registration.lrreg
You will be able to retrieve your serial number of this file.
