• HP Pavilion g7 screen became black all in use.

  Help, I was using my HP Pavilion g-7 the other day, while the game and the screen became black without reason appairent.  I have not loaded down recently and I run the anti-virus software.

  We went to the HP support website and went through several diagnotics.  When you restart the laptop the screen on the laptop starts flashing images of my top of counter, but once the machine starts the screen remains empty.  You can see the glow on the edges, but that's all.  I have another connected currently monitor and the system works fine except for that.  We also have the following, hard reset, Test for memory modual problems, test the hard drive.  I also tried to update the video drivers, but the system tells me that the drivers do not work properly.

  It's very frustrating because I'm a student and really need my laptop.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Thank you in advance,

  Hi ACameli,

  Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I read your thread on your HP Pavilion Notebook g7 and get a blank screen or black at startup. Try perform a reset. When you perform a hard reset note remove all USB devices and remove cards memory card reader location. Disconnect all non-essential devices. If that doesn't help try to turn on the computer, on which you begin to press F11 repeatedly until the menu opens. You can do a System Restore. System Restore will restore the computer to a time when it worked correctly. If you are able to see the book then connect to a monitor, it is not the graphics card or HARD drive. It could be the LED. The only way to find out is to check with a repair shop. LED can be tested in the DMM and they would have to this device. I'd be happy to help you to give you a number if necessary. How can I find my model number or product number?

  Please let me know.
  
  Thank you.

• Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL.

  Downloaded the update for Firefox, and now I can't get rid of AOL. I tried to remove anything that is related to AOL and when restart Firefox... There are once again AOL. I even reinstalled Firefox... He was there again.

  Where AOL is displayed - homepage?

  I think the first thing to check is if you have any modules related to AOL. These can replace your regular settings. You can view and disable all extensions essential or unknown here:

  Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > addons > Extensions category

  Note that in most cases, you should use the link to restart Firefox to actually disable the extension that you have chosen to disable.

  Then, to fix your homepage, try the procedure described in this article: How to set the home page.

  If there is a problem with your suppliers of research from Google for AOL, try this extension:

  What is an application error, wmiprvse.exe? It keeps popping up all the time and its pretty boring. Can I get rid of him?

  What this has to do with Windows Media?

  Rwillet,

  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

  The wmiprvse.exe file is otherwise known as Windows Management Instrumentation.

  In research, I found a few articles that might help you:

  Windows wmiprvse.exe related errors

  Wmiprvse - wmiprvse.exe

  You can run your scan virus and if necessary, perform a System Restore to a point prior to the error occurring.

  I hope this helps.

  * UNPLUG ALL USB DEVICES AND NON-ESSENTIAL TO THE COMPUTER

  If you can, I suggest that you try the following:

  {THE PHASE 1}

  1. click on START

  2. click on "all programs".

  3. click on "Accessories".

  4. click on "system tools."

  5. click on "system restore."

  6 follow the prompts shown to restore your system to a date before the problem started. Although the system restore does not target the personal data, it is recommended that you back up all data such as music, photos and documents in case something is not bad.

  {THE PHASE 2}

  If this does not work, I could do this:

  Reach:

  http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/format.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=gen&deviceid=308&libid=1&releaseid=R45081&vercnt=10&formatcnt=0&SystemID=DIM_PNT_P3C_4100&servicetag=&os=WW1&osl=en&catid=-1&dateid=-1&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&impid=-1

  Follow the instructions to download the version (diskette) indicated secondary. This will require a floppy disk. If you don't have one available, skip this step. Unfortunantly, given the age of this system, they do not offer executable for use within Windows automatic update.

  {THE PHASE 3}

  Reach:

  I chose my resolution of windows xp to the highest frequency screen and my screen become black and displayed out of reach, I restarted my pc, but when it came to the login page my screen shows again her even, how can I get it back?

  Hi hcosdihv,

  Start the PC in safe mode then go back to the display settings and set the resolution to a lower level.

  You start in Mode safe by constantly pressing the F8 key as your PC starts. A menu will appear and you must select the Safe Mode option.

  Once you have changed the screen resolution, you can restart your PC normally.

  Make sure that you "only" to select an output of the range option.

• How do I get my task bar icons, now on the left, back on the bottom of my Windows screen - see print screen below (have no idea how it happened)

  I'm not a supercomputer user, so please keep it simple.

  Ok. It is the taskbar all moved to the left. Just do what I suggested in my first answer.
   
  Right click on the Start button. Properties | Taskbar and change the location to the bottom.
   
  Or, what you probably read on: right click on a place empty, as between the upper icons and notification icons and unlock the taskbar. Then left click on an empty spot and drag the taskbar to the bottom and relock it.
