• Touchpad problems with Windows Vista, HP Pavilion dv7

  For some time now, I had problems using the touchpad on my HP Pavilion dv7-1260 mobile.  When I press the left button of the mouse, I have the menu that is displayed when you press the right button of the mouse.  I changed the settings on a million times and I reinstalled the drivers, but nothing seems to work.  Maybe I need to change touchpad sensitivy or something, but I don't know how to do it on Windows Vista.

  Hello

  Looks like there is a problem with the hardware with the TouchPad so check with the help of HP, their online
  documentation and drivers and ask questions in the forums about isseu known with this model.

  ========

  Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
  and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

  ==========================================

  If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

  Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
  Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
  on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

  Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

  This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

  The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

  Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

  I hope this helps.

• Problem of Windows 7 HP Pavilion dv7 - 2173cl

  I have recently upgraded to windows vista home premium to windows 7 Home premium via my disks to upgrade to windows 7 HP last night. Overall I have no complaints, but especially my computers portable keyboard is a bunch of sensitive contact with movie controls, volume control, etc.. The problem lies in the volume sensitive touch power button. My volume turned on and working, but the light power volume is red, indicating that the volume is disabled when even my volumes and fully functional... any help to solve this inconvenience would be greatly appreciated.

  Try to uninstall the previously installed one and then try to install this:

  Also, try to uninstall the drivers from the sound card in Device Manager and reboot the device.

• Problem with memory on HP Pavilion dv7-4052sg!

  Hi Sir, here I have a problem with my HP laptop.

  I don't know what happened, but after restarting my laptop my memories do not work together.

  I have test the two memories function in both slots. I try to change them in the slots and they are fine.

  BUT as soon as I put them together my windows won't run, its all black screen on start and nothing is moving. I don't know what to do.

  I'm having 2x2gb pc3 - 10600 s. I was thinking maybe to buy only a 4 GB and put into a slot? who can solve my problem?

  I would appreciate if you can suggest me what to do?

  Best account.

  MR. C.

  There is the possibility that one of the memory module SIMM slots is bad or damaged. That's the downside of the notebooks.

  Use a 4GB module in a slot up to 4 GB of memory installed from using two slots does not seem to be a viable option.

• Update the Bios to F1 problem. C the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook (QJ785AV #ABA) running Win7 (64)

  To try to resolve some problems, that I pointed out, HP (by e-mail) Technical Support told me to update my bios and provided a link to do this. Utility Wizard help indicated 1F. B has been installed; the description accompanying the linked file is 1F.C.

  I downloaded the file, closed other programs, then run the file using administrator mode. After a few moments, the PC restarted. When I checked then the theaters help, there still reported that 1F. B has been installed. I ran the executable file again and seen on screen for messages. There is no error message. The system restarted, however the Assistant to help still reports it as 1F.B.

  I don't know if it's important but: Although this update of the Bios on the support page of the HP web site for my computer model, it does not appear as an action item when executing Tune Up from HP.

  Should what steps I take in order to successfully install the newer version of the Bios?

  [Since this is an obvious question, let me say: I have reported what happened to the HP support (by e-mail).] In their next response, there was no follow-up on this point. In my next response, I asked specifically this update failure, but their response has completely ignored the problem.]

  This is the link of BIOS that you use correct: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-115758-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4063&product=5171043&sw_lang=

  If so, try the device, then execution of the BIOS updated new cyclical food.  Cycle of power, just remove the battery and the AC adapter / CC and let rest for a minute, then reinsert the battery and the AC adapter / CC and turn on.

• problem connecting push2tv3000 with HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC QD977UA #ABA

  Bought the ptv3000 and the widi recognizes the adapter and I can put in the security code, however when I click on connect the widi tv window will specify the connection to the device display wireless for a few moments and then window widi intel says "it has not detected adapters. Click the button below to perform a new analysis.  The ptv3000 reappears and goes through the stage of connection again but does not connect.

  I have updated with the latest drivers intel WiDi and the ptv3000 of netgear for the latest firmware but still will not connect.

  If someone knows the question I would be very happy because I think it would be a very good product if it works, unfortunately, netgear did not much help

  If it works when the firewall is disabled, not when the firewall is turned on, then I recommend contacting the firewall provider.  I recommend you contact the firewall vendor as each firewall is different in some way, and I'm not too familiar with this brand.

• Pavilion dv7, upgrade memory with faster modules

  Hello

  PC10666 memory modules can be used to upgrade Pavilion dv7 3170em (WC152EA)?

  It is currently 2x2gb modules clocked at 533 MHz, will replace the two modules.

  I intend to replace them with KINGSTON ValueRAM or Transcend JM1333KSN - 4G 4 GB at 667 MHz modules.

  These modules can be used, i.e. they can downlclock at 533 MHz?

  TIA,

  Davor

  In the end, I found 533 MHz modules at a decent price, so I bought two 4 GB G.Skill F3 - 8500 CL 7 modules. Did some burn-in tests, everything works OK.

  Kind regards

• HP Pavilion dv7 second HDD installation problem

  Hello

  I recently bought an internal WD7500BPVX 750 GB SATA HDD compatible with my HP Pavilion dv7 - 2030eV to be used as a second hard drive, since I already have a 250 GB HARD drive on the laptop. I also bought a SATA cable which I think is compatible and a caddy for the disc. When I connected the SATA cable and pressed the Start button the laptop powered upwards for about a second and then stop.  I disconnected the SATA cable and left only 250GB driver connected. When I turned on again your laptop booted normally. Once I tried to connect the new HARD drive again the same thing happened. Any ideas what might be happening? I checked two times for parts compatibility before you buy, but I can't rule out it as a cause.

  Thank you all in advance for your help.

  Hello

  This series does not start with two different hard disks. If you want a second hard drive, you need the same 250 GB drive as the original to make it work.

• Pavilion dv7 keyboard problem

  Product name: Pavilion dv7

  Product number: QG703EA #B1A

  Recently bought, that IMO has a problem which is probably a BIOS-solvable one. There is a setting in the BIOS, named "Mode of Action keys", which:

  -If you select 'Off', action keys function as a normal function (F1-F12) keys without the need for "Fn" be in a hurry.

  -When set to "Enabled", action keys work like the keys action and in one wishes to operate normally the function keys (F1 to F12), you have to press "Fn".

  However, this setting does not apply to the "Ins" key Regardless of the parameter "Action keys Mode", "Ins" requires always 'Fn' be in a hurry, something that is not acceptable for everyday use.

  IMO, it's most of the time an arrangement which will be set to 'Disabled' because when you work on a computer, most of the time we have to function keys to work as not as action keys and function keys. Keep in mind that it's a computer, not an mp3 player, so we want to quickly access the keys F1 to F12 and Ins, no controls brightness and PrintScreen.

  If anyone from HP support sees this message, please pass this issue as a bug report to the appropriate support team.

  Thank you

  Quote from an employee of HP

  "It's as expected.

  in other words, it is not a bug but was intended to operate in this way.

• Radeon AMD in Pavilion dv7 notebook driver problem

  I have a pavilion dv7 notebook and for a few months, I had problems with my graphics driver.

  It began with a notice that my license was expired, so I went on the AMD website and tried to install the update. I ran dxdiag to find tool that I use an AMD Radeon HD 6620 G graphics card. I could not find my product on the list to manually install the update, so I tried the Downloader tool from amd driver and he had a problem of recognition of my graphics card. I then tried to update with the help of Support HP and that seemed to work for a while.

  Yesterday my screen changed the lowest resolution and a notice came it was not recognizing my graphics driver. Yet once, I tried to update manually from the AMD Web site. When this does not work I downloaded the driver AMD Downloader and after installing everything he said is that "your computer does not contain a correct graphics card" and closed the program.

  I am lost at this point uterally, and any help would be greatly apreciated.

  WARNING *.

  This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Response of an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.

  AMD does not support the graphics system from HP to address personalized and won't provide any drivers for it. As a general rule, HP does not provide "routine maintenance" updates and usually only releases updates to fix known problems. You could take the computer to a professional, however they will be able to do anything more than I suggested and maybe even not so much than that.

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

• Keyboard problems - the circumflex accent keeps jumping around while I type! HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product number: B1W89EA #ABU

  Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

  I have made no recent changes.

  Problem:

  Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.

  For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).

  I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient

  Hello NerdWhale.  I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.

  You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver.  This will force the material in order to be reset.  Try the following.

  1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
  2. Expand the section of keyboards.
  3. Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
  4. Shut down the laptop.
  5. Remove the battery and AC power.
  6. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
  7. Replace the battery and AC power.
  8. Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
  9. Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.

  I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great day!
