  1. it is posible to change 06:52 on my laptop CQ58? YES, it is probably possible to install Windows 7 on your computer.

  2 and if so, can I have programs default HP on this subject? NO.

  3 and if so, how?

  WARNING *.

  HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a consumer computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

  Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

  You will need to DISABLE "Secure Boot" and ENABLE "Legacy Support" in the "Configuration of the BIOS start-up secure" on the settings page similar to what is shown below, until you try to install Windows 7.

  

  After you save the changes, the computer will ask you to confirm the changes... Accept the changes by typing the four digit code and press the ENTER"" key.

  

  If you install from a USB key and see a message of "load a driver - a required CD/DVD drive device is missing", it's because as 'System Configuration' > 'Config USB3.0 in pre-start' is set to 'Enabled '. This should be set to 'Auto '. This should clear up the CD/DVD device is missing.

  

  In addition, as the hard drive is probably partitioned as TPG, you must start using the internal CD/DVD UEFI or UEFI-Key/key USB to install Windows on a GPT-partitioned disk. Turn on or restart the computer and press "F9" or "ESC", then "F9" when prompted. Select the source of boot UEFI you use and you press "ENTER".

  

  I suggest using Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own disc of Windows 7 SP1. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. Please note that some computers may not recognize a valid active UEFI USB Flash drive if it is formatted in NTFS and may require only a FAT32 formatted USB Flash drive. You should be able to make a FAT32 formatted Windows 7 installation USB Flash drive using Rufus, UNetbootin, Universal USB Installeror WiNToBootic. I like Rufus, because it contains options for 'Plan of GPT partition for UEFI computer' and 'FAT32'.

  From the top...

  (1) turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (2) when the MENU is displayed, press "F10".

  3) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", 'USB 3.0 pré-OS Config' and the value 'Auto '.

  4) navigate the BIOS to the "System Configuration", "Startup Options" and "Secure Boot" the value 'Legacy Support' the value "Enabled" and "Disabled"

  5) press "F10" and click "YES" to "Exit Saving Changes".

  (6) computer should restart and display "Change of operating system startup Mode"... type the four digit code, then press "ENTER".

  (7) let Windows 8 boot to the top and put the Windows 7 SP1media in the drive to DVD or a USB port, then logout / stop.

  (8) to turn on the computer and immediately start typing the key "ESC".

  (9) when the MENU is displayed, press the key "F9" and then select the correct boot UEFI source (CD/DVD drive internal, USB drive, CD/DVD, USB Flash drive, etc.). ... Press any key to start the CD/DVD, if prompted.

  (10) select "Language", "time / currency ' and 'Keyboard' settings and then click"Next ".

  11) click on 'install now '... Check "Accept terms" and click "next". Click on "Custom (Advanced)".

  (12) you may need to provide Intel or AMD SATA/RAID drivers at the moment...

  (13) ' where do you want to install Windows 7? Select "Disk / Partition" with "Unallocated space", you created earlier, and then click "next".

  (14) follow all instructions and meet the need. Enter the Windows 7 key when asked.

  (15) download and install the drivers from the support page for your computer.

  After installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager (text only) for all other devices missing or unknown as illustrated in the example below.

• Return to Windows Vista to Linux Mint

  Hi, for some reason my son decided to install Linus mint on a borrowed laptop computer that had Windows Vista installed. Is it possible to regain the Widows Vista laptop and the removal of Linux Mint. Unfortunately, we do not have a startup disk or one for Vista recovery disk. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

  The first thing you'll need to do is to contact the manufacturer of your laptop and
  see if there is a recovery mode which can be used without the DVD.

  Their web site can also have details on this process and will be easier and
  faster access.

  It is possible, there is one but when your son installed the second operating
  system, he deleted this ability, so you will need to order a replacement set
  the installation discs for the manufacturer.

• Hello from Firefox with camera backwards (with linux Mint 17)

  Hello, I am running Firefox 36.0.1 and I tried the new addon from Hello. Unfortunately, my camera is displayed upside down. It was the same problem I had using Skype and I had to update libv4l and that worked. It still works now for Skype, but Hello the problem is back. (I use linux Mint 17)
  Any suggestion?

  Skype and Gtalk for linux are 64-bit by default, but Firefox is a 32-bit program (for now). LD_PRELOAD = /usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so will not solve this problem in Hello because it is a 64-bit library.

  Using /v4l1compat.so is the right idea, but that error "cannot open shared object file" comes from the kernel and not from Firefox. "Cannot open shared object file" means that the file is not there or that your user name is not allowed to read. Verify the path and permissionsv4l1compat.so (after checking that the library is there and that it has the appropriate permissions) and then try to run: LD_PRELOAD = / usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so/usr/bin/firefox

• Replace Windows 8 with Windows 7

  Original title: Windows 8

  I bought a computer last week which of course has Windows 8.  I had nothing that trouble and would like to to replace it with Windows 7, however, I don't think not that I would have to pay to replace.  Can you send me Windows 7 or I can download it without having to buy it.  Windows 8 is horrible!  Just get a reply or sending an email to the Microsoft Community appears as an act of Congress.

  Seems like you should dial the computer number of supporting manufacturers.   To talk to them.   They are responsible for solving problems with windows 8 software on the computer, they sold to you.  OEM take responsibility for support in order to get great prices good.

• Replacement windows blown with beautiful background

  Hey people

  I have a few images of a person doing yoga inside and the windows are completely blown. I thought I could fix this by replacing the windows with a bottom. However, I have some difficulty making it realistic!

  Does anyone have any suggestions: -.

  

  

  

  Insulate windows with opacity masks

  And drop the background in V1.

  But if the Lady moves on the window, you'll have to animate the mask.

• Replace windows 7 with XP on a Sony Vaio

  Have 2 PC Sony Vaio.  One with another XP with Windows 7.

  You want to load XP on more recent (June 2011) computer instead of windows 7.
  Cannot go back to dealer to the United Kingdom where we bought it because we are long term on a sailboat to the Panama.
  Dick & Jennifer Blamey

  XP is an old operating system and will not work on new computers, especially those designed for windows 7.

  It's like install an old volkswagen beetle engine in a new hummer.

  at best, you might virtualize xp on windows 7, using a program called virtual pc from microsoft.

  Virtual PC will allow xp run on windows7 desktop computer, as if it were a regular program.

  but a virtualized xp does not exactly a performance, as if we're the bones of the man on an old computer.

  a virtualized xp can run old programs designed for xp, but cannot run hardware / devices designed for win7.

  Hello

  I want to upgrade my nc8430 (EM741AV) to the Standard WLAN n. is possible to do?

  What card is accepted by my Board?

  Thanks in advance,

  amkern1

  Hello:

  Without hacking (modify) the BIOS (which I do not know how), you can install one of the adapters listed in the service manual for your laptop wireless.

  There is no card n wireless supported for your model.

  You must buy an external USB Wireless N adapter if you want faster connection speeds.

  Installing an unsupported card will cause the laptop to put an end to started until the card is removed.

• HP3521: HPLIP install not on Linux Mint 18 with XFCE

  I try to install HPLIP on a laptop Dell Latitude D510 with Linux MInt 18 with freshly installed XFCE.  Towards the end of the HPLIP installation, I get the following error message:

  Printer driver HP HPLIP installs not entirely:

  error: a required dependency "libtool (libtool - library support services building)" is still missing.

  How 'manually install' this dependence and continue installing HPLIP?  The printer will print with the usb cord but I can't print or scan wireless. The hp-setup 192.168.1.117 command no longer works...

  Thank you.
