Update dc7800p

Hi - I bought a used minitour dc7800p work. It is about 4 years old and has wiped (software, files, etc.). It has Vista 32 bit installed and no wireless adapter. My questions are:

I guess it would be good to upgrade the OS to Windows 7 (ultimate?) and if so, should I go 64-bit upgrade? Is there something difficult about installing?

What is a good wireless card for it?

It has 2 gig RAM... is there something delicate on another concert 2 installation?

I appreciate your comments, advice and suggestions. I bought the thing for $50 and don't want to put more that I have in it, but thought it would make a nice work communal station at home.

Thank you!!!

You are the very welcome.

It's the memory that I used in my own...

  • Clean the OS install on HP Compaq dc7800p CMT - which drivers/software for HP?

    Gentlemen.

    I decided to first try the road at low prices and to order a recovery disc Vista professional instead of a copy of Win7 for my HP Compaq dc7800p CMT with Intel Core Duo E6550 2.33 GHz processor, 1 GB of DDR2 800 MHz RAM and HARD drive retail 80 GB sata.

    I'll have to download drivers and software from HP and there is such an astonishing array of software available for this model I don't know really what to download and what I can let it slide.

    This is designed to be a professional computer maintained by computing professionals, but I just want what he as a general-purpose computer "ordinary".

    Now I tell myself that I should get certainly all drivers because they are strictly based on the material and will also apply to my needs to those of the original unit office drone was designed for. I just discovered, in cases where there is more than one choice of material, what advice or feature of this particular machine has to obtain the correct driver.

    But sometimes to wonder if, as Vista will be installed on a HP reinstall drive, has the disc still a library of drivers HP to replace the more generic drivers that can come from a MS retail disk, which makes it unnecessary for me to download drivers HP. I doubt it, but it is best to ask.

    The BIOS is less obvious. I think that there is a BIOS version that is newer than the one currently on this machine (786F1 v01.04). I've heard several philosophies on the BIOS updates: one is, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " Just replace the BIOS if there is a problem (s) it might lessen. The other school says you should always have the latest version of everything, even if it not is not the current problems. So, should I get the latest version of the BIOS?

    I have no idea what ' ME ' designated operational entities and firmware if I should worry about this.

    Also less obvious is the software designed for increased security, seamless integration with an enterprise network and generally make it easier for the IT guys earn their salary. I don't know what, if any, utility most of these things would provide in my situation. If there is no hardware on the system which would "complain" If a particular piece of software was not installed, then for the stability of the system, I do not want to have even if I never use it.

    I know I ask much, here, but Paul Tikkanen in response to my initial post on this computer, mentioned a few BIOS settings that may be to my advantage. I'll use these suggestions and all that more that can take this machine more pleasant to work with my circumstances.

    Sorry... Just one thing. The descriptions I've read of this computer say she a dial-up modem 56 built-in of k, but it is referred to as a 'soft' modem It applies to a sort of virtual modem that exists only if the driver for it is installed? When I ran HP Insight Diagnostics, a sort of device LAN has been entered, but not modem. I have a dial-up modem, believe it or not. I just downloaded the SP3 for Vista and it took about 21 hours! Ridiculous, but it prevents me from wasting time on the cat and pornography videos.

    Thank you for your interest!

    I'll have to download drivers and software from HP and there is such an astonishing array of software available for this model I don't know really what to download and what I can let it slide.  There is a page of software and the drivers of the computer.  You can install all the drivers on this page.  If the driver does not need to be installed the system will tell you.

    This is designed to be a professional computer maintained by computing professionals, but I just want what he as a general-purpose computer "ordinary".  Here is the technical reference Guide for your computer.  It has all the information you might need.  In some sections, it has all the models listed.  Just look at the CMT.

    Now I tell myself that I should get certainly all drivers because they are strictly based on the material and will also apply to my needs to those of the original unit office drone was designed for. I just discovered, in cases where there is more than one choice of material, what advice or feature of this particular machine has to obtain the correct driver.  As I said above, the page of the software & driver will tell you what it takes.

    But sometimes to wonder if, as Vista will be installed on a HP reinstall drive, has the disc still a library of drivers HP to replace the more generic drivers that can come from a MS retail disk, which makes it unnecessary for me to download drivers HP. I doubt it, but it is best to ask.  Yes, the majority of the drivers is installed during the recovery.  You need to update the drivers.  You can run Windows Update to get updates.

    The BIOS is less obvious. I think that there is a BIOS version that is newer than the one currently on this machine (786F1 v01.04). I've heard several philosophies on the BIOS updates: one is, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " Just replace the BIOS if there is a problem (s) it might lessen. The other school says you should always have the latest version of everything, even if it not is not the current problems. So, should I get the latest version of the BIOS?  My theory is, don't update the BIOS if it does not solve a problem you are having with a component.  A failed BIOS update makes a good door stop.

    I have no idea what ' ME ' designated operational entities and firmware if I should worry about this.  Firmware is the software that tells the operating system do with a component, as for example a drive opticlal (CD/DVD drive).  Windows Update can also be found for you,

    Also less obvious is the software designed for increased security, seamless integration with an enterprise network and generally make it easier for the IT guys earn their salary. I don't know what, if any, utility most of these things would provide in my situation. If there is no hardware on the system which would "complain" If a particular piece of software was not installed, then for the stability of the system, I do not want to have even if I never use it.  Most security software are not a necessity for the system to function properly.  However, it can be a problem if you have a virus or malware.

    Since I did the update (10.0.2) I can no longer just "trash all ' mail inbox (Verizon).  Because I get emails 300 + a day, I need to be able to empty my Inbox easily without deleting all of them individually.  It is very irritating and time consuming.

  • Uninstall software update Apple says error in seller contact package package unstaller

    Try to get itunes working to make a backup of my faulty iphone before repair.

    First-itunes does not start says error. I'm trying to fix it, who said success but same error when you try to start it.

    Then uninstall completely worked. Then reinstall that seemed to be over except for a message "an older version of Apple software update already exists" then he went down and install itunes apparently had not been completed.

    Then I try to remove the update from the apple software and executed by an error in the installation program - it says there is an error in the installation and contact the supplier of the installation package. Same error if I run the uninstall command line program.

    Try to repair the Apple Software Update of programs & features Control Panel and then try to update iTunes again.

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    The more information box has direct links with the current and recent if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with third-party software.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Since the update for Sierra, contacts do not appear in Messages - just phone numbers.

    Since the update for Sierra, Messages no longer displays Contact names - only phone numbers.  No instructions on how to remedy this.  Ideas?

    Hello

    Go into the Contacts application and ensure that it uses the same account synchronization like the iPhone and other devices you may be using.

    Also check the part of the accounts of the Contacts application preferences and make sure that it's only using one account.

  • USB disabled after the update of the Sierra (a short circuit and a work)

    Hi, when I bought my mbp 13 inches mid2012 (used, not new) I noticed that a USB port did not work. In the Yosemite sometimes I noticed that a USB port consumed too much energy and have been disabled. (I think because the usb port has been short-circuited. Year when it was time to update the mbp to El Capitan I had a few panic the kernel and the newspaper was shown as the last driver loaded the USB driver, so I kept the mbp with Yosemite. A few days ago, I updated for Sierra but only usb which used to work stopped working. It has enabled and turned on but Finder and disk utility does not see the drive. In an Apple dealer they said that could be established relationships with some oxide and next week will take it and see what the problem is.

    If there is someone with the same problems, please tell me what to do! I don't want to put in the trash my mac just for a flash drive... but I need!

    Hi Supermene,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support. Based on what you said, it appears as a USB device is not recognized in one of the USB ports. There are a few things that can cause this. I recommend you read these articles, which may be able to help solve the problem.

  • I can't go to my bookmarks after update for Sierra

    I have a MacBook Pro. I just updated this week to Sierra with no problems, but now when I click on multiple points in the upper left corner to reveal my favorites and my playlist only, it displays the top sites page and does not open my favorites and reading list, as it used to.

    Can someone tell me how to access my bookmarks and playlist in the Sierra? I'm sure it's something in the settings or something escapes me. My Bookmark Bar is the top of the page, yet. I can't find my bookmarks and reading list.

    Thank you

    I thought about it, I had to go to Favorites on top and tell Safari to display in the Sidebar again.

  • Calendar Apple App Bug frozen works only with iOS 10 update grrr

    Since I updated to iOS 10 (more more later than 10.2, etc.), everything was not too bad except THE APPLE CALENDAR app, its deiving me crazy when I click on the app it's like it freezes and past shift x 50 mode still something to do with the calendar app will cause either a frozen or a black screen or white and then crashed ack to main menu. Sometimes it will allow me to create but will be trolling with typing and finally crashed or not even save it... Please HELP I am sure what else to do, I tried to download google calendar and which seemed to have something of bug he loves too then something happens. And I tried to delete it and download it again, / force delivery, nothing has changed

    Hi there calsparks!

    Thank you for bringing your question on the calendar of freezing and trolling since the update to iOS 10 on your iPhone for Apple Support communities.  I rely on the calendar to keep my life organized, so I'm happy to help you resolve this issue today.

    Looks like you did a few good troubleshooting by force to leave the app, force to restart the iPhone and deleting and reinstalling the application calendar.  At this stage my next recommendation would be to backup your iPhone, then erase and restore your iPhone as a new device, then test calendar to see if it behaves correctly, and then restore your backup.

  • new iPhone update

    I have an iPhone 5 and will probably get an iPhone 6s with a new SIM from nano.

    My photos will remain on my iPhone 5 until I save them?  I don't want to put my new sim card in the iPhone 6 and then the old sim become inactive and lose my photos if that makes sense?

    Thank you

    Hello

    IPhone 5 should run ios 10.2 if not go to settings - about us - software update

    Do update on your WiFi.

    Then go to settings - iCloud backup now.

    The new iPhone set up on your WiFi when you are asked if you want to use iCloud backup say Yes.

    Use the same identifier apple then you will get all the apps / photos on the new iPhone.

    See you soon

  • HI, Siri would not speak in Italian Luca voice after update for Sierra

    HI, why Siri not talk in Italian Luca voice after update to Sierra?

    Open (Apple menu) > System Preferences > accessibility > speech.

    Next to the system voice menu, select Customize...

    Scroll down to Italian, and then select Luca, and then click OK.

    It will take a few moments to download the new voice.
