1. is the problem only with the desktop icons and text?

2. When you be able to install internet explorer 8 successfully on the computer?

Method 1

I suggest that you change the theme of office on the computer and check if it helps.

  • HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC with 8 and the need to know if I can install Windows 7

    Just bought HP ENVY 700-000z Desktop PC equipped with 8 and need to know if I can install Windows 7 on this computer without problem.  My work does not allow the use of Windows 8.  If I can install Windows 7, what version of operating system do I need to buy to do a clean install.

    If I understand correctly, I could order the Windows 8 Pro, who has right to demotion and then install Windows

    7 pro, I have then I should be able to get the drivers, I need HP is correct.

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a 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 should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and maybe 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings page below, before you try to install Windows 7;

    or

    In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the start menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    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. 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.

    Most of the Windows 7 drivers from the drivers of HP Pavilion p7-1299 c desktop PC page should work on your desktop HP ENVY 700 - 000z CTO. Both models use a variant of the motherboard HP Jasmine. If you have missing or unknown devices after installing the drivers, please post the "Hardware ID" Device Manager for devices as shown in the example below.

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

  • [Solved] pc with xp home edition as the operating system does not start after installation of SP2 via automatic updates

    Hello everyone. After formatting my hard drive I reinstalled windows xp edition sp1 family and then installed the latest version of windows update agent. I have the auto update set to download the updates automatically and notify me when they are ready to be installed. Initially, he found 3 updates that I installed and rebooted. He concluded 58 updates. Again, I've installed and restarted. After that, we found ServicePack 2, I installed as well. But after the reboot, the pc does not start. What I get is the windows xp logo which discoloures after a few seconds and I don't see a bar moving from left to right. I left it like that for 3 hours, but nothing has changed. Also, it does not start in safe mode. I get a screen with red and green vertical lines in this case. Anyone know what's the problem? I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

    I was finally able to solve this problem. That's what I did. I reinstalled windows xp home and followed the same path (but his definition of the automatic updates notify me before downloading or installing updates) until the automatic updates found in the new service pack 2. This time that I did not choose to download it. Instead I downloaded from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28 and then started in safe mode and installed. I don't know one that makes the difference but service pack 2 has been successfully installed this time and tha pc was able to start after installation. Before that, I also downloaded and installed the latest versions of 2 drivers through drivermax. I mention this in the case where he has also made a difference. After the service pack 2 installation and restart, automatic updates will be found a few others brought up-to-date, but after installation and reboot, it found no others. I had to visit update windows Internet explore and search for updates it and managed to find other updates and finally SP3.

  • Text is too large, the overlaps and the pages are not displayed correctly

    I recently changed the resolution of the screen some of the text elements in Windows itself after eye surgery and now FF is not correctly display pages, I got the add-on NoSqint that worked perfectly before installed, but I disabled it and restarted FF and it does make a difference. I have screenshots of what I'm talking about; It is easier to see than to explain.

    I have no problem with other programs.

    You can have Web pages with zoom text only zoom.
    Reset the zoom of page on pages that are causing problems.

    • View > Zoom > reset (Ctrl / command + 0 (zero))

    If you have made changes to the font settings advanced as the increase of the minimum font size / default then try the default minimum setting 'none' and default font size 16 in the case where the current setting is the source of the problems.

    • Tools > Options > content fonts & colours > advanced > Minimum font size (none)

    Make sure that allow you pages to choose their own fonts.

    • Tools > Options > content fonts & colours > advanced: [X] 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above ".

    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to avoid any problems with the text not being displayed correctly.

  • OneLineTextField and the border are not displayed correctly together

    Hi all, I need a container by tabs and found the example of the pill buttons that look awesome

    and can function as tabs, (from the article 'Implement advanced buttons, fields, and managers')

    so I use in my application.

    any help on how I can get this to look like, I expect, in addition, also, where is the

    stress being placed in OneLineTextField put, I guess that this is when he thinks a

    misspelled word is there.

    I would like to show a remove this effect and just get to lok more professional

    OneLineTextField searchOneLineTextField = new OneLineTextField ("search for:", "");
    XYEdges padding = new XYEdges (2,2,2,2);

  • When I start a new page in FF4 is always on the right side of the screen and the menu bar also goes by the window. If I click on the address bar is displayed correctly

    It is a problem I've had since the first race of FF4 beta. All sites are on the right side of the window to start a new page, then it works very well after the first.

    Create a new profile exclusively for version 4.0 beta and create a shortcut on the desktop with Pei 'profile' attached to the target to launch this profile.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate lights up and the screen does not display on my screen

    The title says it all.

    Hi Brandon,.

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    It is regrettable that the PC does not turn on and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you a few questions to help you accordingly.

    • What is the brand and model of the computer?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • When was the last time you were able to use the PC?
    • Do you have Windows 7 repair disc?
    • Do you have connected an external device to the computer (except keyboard and mouse)?
    • When you try to start, you are able to display the logo of the manufacturer?
    • You are able to start the computer in safe mode?

    There could be several reasons according to the questionnaire above for this issue, including hardware as well. Hardware and software configurations can vary considerably, there are several ways that you can take to solve problems that might prevent Windows to start (boot) correctly.

    I ask you to follow the steps described in the article below:

    What to do if Windows does not start correctly (information valid for Windows 7)

    Notes: Please, don't try installing and reinstalling Windows section from now.

    Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

    Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  • Tecra 9000 - error message with Windows XP SP3 home edition

    Hello

    I have a Tecra 9000 in very good condition, until yesterday, I have no problem!
    After updating my Windows XP service pack 2 on the "service pack 3", everything works fine but when I press the button 'TOSHIBA controls' and 'mouse' for setting, Windows error message occure: "run a dll as an app"!

    Even if I go to "Start" and "Control Panel" and press the mouse, after setting close icon, or just simply do nothing (cancel), the same message! I did not notice any other problem with the TOSHIBA utility!
    My driver for mouse is "Logitech mouse ware, 9.40! Can you help me?

    This oldie works well with Windows XP SP2 home edition and in my opinion you should use without SP3. Try to remove the SP3, and I hope that everything will work properly again. Problem is that the old tools and utilities designed for Toshiba probably aren't tested and updated to SP3.

    I have more Satellite M70 and use sill with SP3. I don't want to risk anything and have problems.

  • Firefox not displaying only not the icons on web page correctly except in safe mode

    Hello. We develop a website for the moment and I don't have FF in safe mode some of the icons are not displayed correctly. All other browsers work fine and it will display in FF without any problem. The site is www.livingonmars.com and the icons are the 2 arrows in the upper right of the slideshow. When in safe mode, I see two arrows. Boot in normal mode I see the bottom half of the arrow to the left and half the right arrow above.

    In safe mode, modules and hardware acceleration are disabled. You can try disabling you modules one by one to see if that helps, or you can disable hardware acceleration by doing the following:

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • I get 'Invalid key' when you install Windows XP SP3 Home Edition from a CD at retail and used the OEM key

    I restore an HP Pavilion computer and try to install Windows XP Home Edition, with the button on the side of the computer.  I contacted HP and they no longer have an available for this computer recovery CD.  So, I tried to install a copy of Windows XP Edition retail family, but when I enter the OEM product key I get "invalid key".  I read on this forum that you can not mix the OEM disc/keys with detail, but it seems that I don't have to buy another copy of Windows when it came with my computer.  What choices do I have?

    None!

    So I don't Support HP and Microsoft no help either.  Activation Center asked me to call the Department of parts (which is incorrect) and the parts Department told me that they cannot provide Windows which was distributed by HP!  Microsoft changed this start with Vista, so I do not understand why they are always telling customers that.
