• HP Pavilion KE472AA Vista to Windows 7 32 bit upgrade

  I'm hoping to move from Vista to Windows 7... been thru Microsoft "Upgrade Advisor" and he can't say one way or the other if my PC can take W7... He suggested that using the HP website, but I can see only change from Vista to XP out there... advice please?

  Hello:

  I looked at all the material on your PC from the page on record, and the only devices that can not work on W7 is the TV tuner and the wireless network adapter.

  There is no W7 drivers for those.  Maybe the drivers Vista will work, but I would have no way of telling that they would.

  There are W7 drivers for the Radeon HD 2400 from the site Web AMD and nForce 430 chipset directly from nvidia drivers.

  Audio drivers directly from Realtek.  The nVidia chipset drivers to also install the ethernet controller.

• A6525UK: Pavilion upgrade Vista to Windows 7 not compatible NVidia Drivers?

  I have a Pavilion model A6525UK I wanted to update to Windows 7 premium 32 VistaHome.

  I ran advise upgrade of Windows 7, which told me to download the latest driver for the Nvidia nForce ethernet 10/100mps before you start the installation of Windows 7.

  I have been in contact with the Nvidia customer service and got this response

  Hello:

  The information you received from Nvidia is incorrect.

  It is indeed a updated driver chipset from Nvidia, which updates the driver ethernet, you can upgrade to W7.

  W7 is not on the drop-down list for the download of the driver, but when you select Vista, it shows that the driver is also good for W7.

  Here it is... 32 bit...

• Pavilion p6120sc: Vista to Windows 7 upgrade: how to find the necessary drivers, etc.

  Cheap HP Experts, the Vista operating system in my Pavilion p6120sc must be upgraded to Windows 7. The compatibility test of Microsoft said that the current driver for my NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet is not valid in Windows 7. Therefore, I was advised to download the latest driver for this device in advance; but its installation should only be performed after the installation of Windows 7.

  Problem 1: what is the right driver for NVIDIA nForce 10/100 Mbps Ethernet (i.e., valid in Windows 7), and where can I download safely to (without viruses etc.)?  -J' did an extensive search on Google but couldn't find an answer I could understand.

  Problem 2: The compatibility test also advised me to Uninstall Hardvarudiagnostikverktyg version 5.1.5144.16 (PC-Doctor, Inc.) before upgrading the computer to Windows 7. However, I couldn't find such a program in my PC! Therefore, How can I uninstall it properly? (Is this program might somehow hidden in the HP service package that performs the Test of full operation of my PC once a month? Moreover, would the HP package function test no more if this particular program have been eliminated?)

  You are the very welcome.

  You must install this driver before chipset update to W7, if you do an upgrade "in place", because the driver is good for W7 and Vista.

  If you make an own (custom) upgrade (not to keep all programs, files or settings), then you must install this driver after you upgrade to W7.

  All this driver will do is update the drivers for the motherboard and ethernet (the devices listed in the driver file page).

  Driver Ethernet (v73.14 +) tools for network management (v73.16) "Sedona" SATA IDE Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL SATA RAID Driver (v11.1.0.33) WHQL RAIDTOOL Application (v11.1.0.30) pilot SMBUS (v4.74) WHQL SMU (v1.71) driver driver WHQL of GPU (v190.38) Physx (v9.09.0428) WHQL Away Mode Driver (v6.0.6000.114) WHQL Installer (v7.57) WHQL.

  It shouldn't cause any device to stop working.

• Pavilion DV6 - 1247CL upgrade from Windows Vista to Windows 8. 1

  I want to improve my Pavilion DV6 - 1247 CL Windows Vista at Windows 8. 1. I read on the site of Microsoft support that the only way to upgrade Vista to Windows 8.1 must do a clean install of DVD. Will I have problems with the HP drivers, etc... ? If so, what should I do to avoid these problems?

  Yes there is no direct upgrade path from Vista to Windows 8. 1. I provide a counterpoint here. Your laptop is powerful enough to run Windows 8/8.1 and I bet all the drivers work just very rare possible exceptions that will be easy to fix. I would say what you can do to give up Vista is a good thing. You might want to consider Windows 7 as an alternative, but all that will take place in 7 runs generally 8/8.1.

• Can I upgrade to Windows Vista or Windows 7?

  I have a HP Pavilion 523n 2002, which has an AMD Athlon 1.67 GHz microprocessor.   He has been up with 2 GB of memory, hard drives 150 MB and 320 MB, a Startech USB 2.0/IEEE1394 PCI card and a video card ATI all-in-Wonder 7500/64 MB DDR AGP.  It came with Windows XP Home Edition is installed.  Is it possible to upgrade my computer with Windows Vista or Windows 7?

  Hello:

  I do not think because the video card is not windows Vista or 7 capable. There may be other hardware not able either.

  The best thing to do is to download and run the Upgrade Advisor free windows 7, which will signal the backward compatibility of your PC with windows 7.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  Plug in and turn on any peripheral equipment (printers, scanners, etc.), you, and she will report on their compatibility too.

• HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.

  HP Pavilion dv6000 (Vista) starts with a blank screen with a cursor after the original hp logo screen.  Cannot get it to boot Windows.  Any thoughts on next steps?

  I remove the hard drive and attach it to your desktop and use the host operating system to run a check disk on your drive.  The laptop goes hard disk looking for instructions to start and he does not see the correct code.  This is probably due to a damaged boot sector.  Another idea is that your bios has changed and you have changed the SATA from AHCI to IDE type somehow or vice versa. You also left a non bootable disk in the DVD/CD drive.  Remove all disks from your DVD.

  I have a pavilion with Vista m9457c.  Recently, it developed a problem in which the mouse or the keyboard you wake the computer from sleep mode more.  I knew that the fan on the video card was bad, so I replaced the video card.  This does not solve the problem.  I did so that the keyboard and mouse could get the computer from sleep mode, but it is still not correct the problem.  If I let the computer to sleep, nothing happens when I move the mouse or press the Crescent Moon on the keyboard.  The screen remains dark.  Then I have to physically press the power button / stop and return to restart the computer. Help me, Obi - wan!

• Update Pavilion a6113w Vista 32-bit to 64-bit

  I have a Pavilion a6113w with the 32-bit version of Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.  This platform will support the 64 bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7?

  Hello:

  Run the W7 Upgrade advisor and see what it reports. Looking at the configuration of your PC system, I see no problem with W7 running.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Upgrade-Advisor

  The PC processor is a processor 64-bit capable, then Yes, you should have no problem to launch a 64-bit operating system.

  http://Ark.Intel.com/products/29738/Intel-Pentium-processor-E2140-1M-cache-1_60-GHz-800-MHz-FSB?q=E2140

  I recommend max memory if you plan install a 64 bit OS because they require more memory system to run the 32-bit operating system only.  Not double, but more.

• Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

  There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

  DeskJet 710

  DeskJet 712

  DeskJet 720

  DeskJet 722

  DeskJet 810

  DeskJet 812

  Deskjet 820

  DeskJet 822

  DeskJet 1000

  The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

  [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

  First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

  Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

  This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

  This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

  Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

  Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

  Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

  MD c:\temp

  CD \temp

  Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

  [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

  Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

  *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

  Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

  Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

  Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

  Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

  NET Start Spooler

  Output

  [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

  At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

  Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

  If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

  

  Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

  Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.
