  My Pavilion dv6 upgraded to windows 10 what happened to my external screen does not

  Hi @Jake08,

  Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A place where you can find solutions for your problems with the help of the community!

  I stumbled upon your post on the laptop and wanted to help you! I looked in your question about your HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook and questions with external screen works not properly. You can try this without the connected external monitor.

  In Device Manager, click the arrow next to display adapters to expand this category
  Right-click on the graph, and then select Update driver software if more than 1 graphic adapter do 1 at a time.
  Select search automatically for updated driver software.

  The laptop must find and automatically install the updated driver
  Once the installation is complete, restart your laptop.

  You can try to use the Windows Update Troubleshooter to fix updates that do not come through Windows 10.  Please restart the laptop twice to make sure that all updates are completed!

  Please let me know how it goes.

  Thank you.

• Windows Media Player 12 DRM Security Upgrade 2.5.0.1

  GOOD NEWS for anyone trying to upgrade Windows Media Player 12 DRM security (if any)!

  If you have, as me, the way to http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite/en/indivit.aspsite. Discover the button upgrade is grayed out, and remains Gray, EVEN after trying to reset your DRM settings (which, if your computer came preloaded with Windows 7, your computer turns on all the HAL 2000 on you and refuses to let you do), try the following:

  First of all, make sure that you run Internet Explorer as an administrator (don't ask me why it's necessary, but it is):

  1. Left click on the Windows Explorer icon,
  2. Left click on all programs,
  3. Scroll down for OverDrive Media Console Software folder, click to the left to show what programs are in the folder
  4. Right-click on the icon of the OverDrive Media Console software in the folder of the OverDrive Media Console software
  5. In the drop-down menu, choose 'Troubleshoot Compatibility' in the menu dropdown.
  6. Choose "Troubleshoot program" on the page "select the Troubleshooting Options.
  7. Select "program requires additional permissions" on the page "what problems have you noticed?
  8. Click 'Next' (Note: in page 'Test compatibility settings for the program', section 'Settings applied', your user account control must show "Run as administrator.")
  9. Click on the "Start the Program" button on the page "Test compatibility settings for the program."
  10. Click on the button "Yes" when asked "Do you want to allow this [OverDrive Media Console] program to make changes to this computer?"

  The computer will then take you to the internet.

  1. Go to http://drmlicense.one.microsoft.com/indivsite/en/indivit.asp. page,
  2. Find tools in the menu topline bar,
  3. Select "Compatibility view" drop the menu drop-down (if the upgrade button is dimmed, outside, on the page, there should be an icon of page damaged next to this item).
  4. This will bring up a text box labeled "add this site:  If "microsoft.com" is not yet entered in this box, you want to do.  Click on the button Add to the right of the text box, and then click the close button. *
  5. The upgrade button should now be black and update of Windows Media Player 12 DRM 2.5.0.1 security should apply when you click on it.  (Note: If the upgrade is successful, when you click on the Windows Media Player Security Upgrade tools in the menu of the Overdrive Media Console software program, he will tell you that your version of Windows Media Player security upgrade is 2.9.0.1)  Don't ask me why he didn't tell 2.5.0.1)

  I won't tell you how many days and hours spent combing the Internet for the answer to this problem, but I will say that all the instructions I found to reset my DRM and my user account controls - both the links I followed OverDrive Media: site and sites support Microsoft - did not help.  I was also disappointed to find out that Dell, who sold me my Alienware Aurora R4 for 7 months ago, could not help me with this problem because even if they have installed the software, it is not covered by the warranty.  (They would be happy to sell me a software warranty for $230 / year, however.) Microsoft could not help me - unless I agreed to pay $100 first - because I have not bought the software directly from them.

  Please, if you try this and it doesn't work, please post a reply.  I'm sure I have listed all the steps I took and if I missed all that I want to correct this post with the steps / missing information.  I don't want ANYONE feeling too frustrated that I was trying to get this problem is resolved.

  * Please note the new information added in step 4 on 09/12/2014.

  I, too, did any proposed at each site to install this upgrade. The 'upgrade' button has never been grayed out, but after I click on it I get the error message "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem while playing the file." I don't play a file or music or whatever it is, just try to update the security settings, so I guess that the upgrade file is what is meant. I had a lot of hope for your correction! Any other suggestions?

  Debbie,

  Just curious - when you went to the indivsite page, have you tried selecting compatibility view from the menu on the menu bar of topline drop-down tools before you click the upgrade button?  I know you said your button is not grayed, but perhaps he'll do before the upgrade can be applied.
  If you have selected the compatibility view from the menu on the page indivsite drop-down tools until you click the upgrade button, do you have a digital one coded to go along with the error message error "Windows Media Player has encountered a problem reading the file'?  Please let me know. I have some other suggestions based on your response.

  Yes, it is set to display all websites in compatibility view. And no, no digital error code comes up with the message. Either way, if it helps you, after I closed the error message button is grayed out and said "Upgrade Complete" But, no upgrade has been applied, it is always the version 2.5.0.0.

  I could finally accomplish this task by running IE as an administrator and disable protected mode. Worked like a charm.

  Hi JeanNU
  I hope you thought of it now - if not - the key is to install the update to Windows Media Player by using Internet Explorer security using the "Run as Administrator".
  This by doing a right click on Internet Explorer and choosing the "run as Administrator" mode.
  Then open this page:
  http://drmlicense.one.Microsoft.com/Indivsite/en/indivit.asp
  and choose the upgrade option.

  I got information on how to do it here:

• How is done since the upgrade to Windows 10 I can not blockers advertising at work?

  I had Avast Antivirus navigation secure, Ad Block Plus, Ad Block Plus Pop Up Addon, blocker of advertising from Facebook and Webmail Ad Blocker all installed and working great on a customers laptop, but after they have upgraded to Windows 10 all the addons disappeared. I tried to reinstall and the blue bar runs through to the end and it sticks on 'download '. Why can't I install?

  If that doesn't fix it, the nuclear option complete clean reinstall, can help.

  This means that you delete your Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. This process does not delete your Firefox profile (such as bookmarks and passwords) data, since this information is stored in a different location.

  To do a clean reinstall of Firefox, follow these steps: Note: you can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

  1. Download the latest version of Firefox from mozilla.org office (or choose the download for your operating system and language on this page) and save the file to install it on your computer.
  2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (or open the Firefox menu

     

     Click the close button

     

     ).

  3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
     • Windows:
       • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
       • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
     • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
     • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
  4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
     1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
     2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

  More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

• I started with a sec_error_unknown_issuer and now have a sec_error_bad_signature after the upgrade to Windows 10.

  I upgraded to Windows of Windows 8.1 10 last night. I tried to connect to facebook, a few hours ago and find that I can't. The error is, "this connection is untrusted", with "this site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate."

  I scoured the help forums and have learned that it is because I have active parental control and trying to access accounts on an account of "the child". One of them suggested is to disable parental control. This is not an option. I absolutely must have Family Safety for my laptop.

  This thread is very useful: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1075301. I did the first answer Philipp suggested, "Trust this CA to identify web sites", and I confirmed this change.

  Now, whenever I try to access Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Youtube, etc, I get this:
  An error occurred during a connection to www.yahoo.com. The peer certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)

     The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
     Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
  

  I ran out of ideas. I went back to the thread useful and tried the next thing, philipp suggested: go to the Web page, "https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142" and then clicking on the link "known issues for Mozilla Firefox users. The problem with this, is that the instructions seem to be written for a device touchscreen enabled; I don't have a touchscreen device, I have a laptop to play with without a touchscreen.

  I know there is a lot of information, but I would really appreciate anyone help in my struggle to be able to access these sites without asking my mother to get on his administrator account when I want to access these Web sites.

  in case you want to use family protection by intention, you need a configuration so that it can function in firefox and install the security certificate for the family that is getting used to intercept connections secure in the confidence of the ms browser store: while in firefox, click on this link - then must display a dialog on the addition of a cert. Please check the trust this CA to identify web sites & confirm the change.

  Alternatively, you can also try the manual procedure described in https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2965142 in the section about firefox.

• PayPal buttons no longer work after the upgrade to Windows 10

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 10, but have always set my default browser on Firefox 39.0. Since then, I discovered some really weird things happening.

  It is more disturbing with PayPal buttons. I kept a few Web sites and, even though I made no changes to the PayPal coding, the button does not appear on pages when I view it in Firefox. I can see them in Chrome or MS Edge very well.

  Here is a page of one of the sites in question. : http://projectsister.org/ : this is a site created in WordPress. On the right sidebar, it would take a "Donate" button However, when I view it in Firefox, I see the slogan of PayPal ("PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay online how!")

  Here is another example of a site that was created using Dreamweaver. : http://www.villagekitchenshoppe.com/take_a_break_class.html

  So, as you can see, both of these sites have the same problem and they are not even related.

  Does anyone have this seen yet? Is there a solution I don't know? Any suggestions would be very helpful.

  Thank you!

  Firefox can display the "Alt" text for an image if the image does not load. The alternative text for the Paypal buttons orange is indeed "PayPal - the safer, easier way to pay online how! But why not load these buttons.

  What happens if you try to access it directly? Right click > view Image, or you can try these links:

  https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/BTN/btn_donateCC_LG.gif

  https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/BTN/btn_buynow_LG.gif

  (Note: mine include the language code en_US, which probably varies from one country to the other.)

  Many users Windows 10 have been posted on the problems to access secure sites (HTTPS, addresses). If you get errors certificate, they are on most of the HTTPS sites or just a few?

  Many HTTPS sites problems can be caused by Firefox is not completely set up to work with your security software. Are you not using Avast, ESET, Kaspersky, BitDefender or another program that intercepts your navigation for filtering?

  Problems on a smaller number of sites could be caused by other factors, individual on the site or resulting from content filtering (for example, parental controls).

• Upgrade to Windows 8 Pro fails miserably, why?. What can I do to make sure it works this time.

  I tried all 3 and each of them became all black and then blue screen, your computer has encountered a problem....

  Sorry for the experience with the support of Microsoft. I wasn't expecting that. Let us try the old process to restore the system to the factory settings, uninstalling unwanted applications and then create an inplace upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. Let's see what happens this time.

• Upgraded to windows 7 and also a new hard drive

  I have a 2005 HP m7060n Media Center http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c00306958 & lang = to & cc = us & taskI... running on XP
  I was looking to upgrade to Windows 7 and also install a new drive.  New readers are shipped with windows 7 already preinstalled and when I change the disks, it will start windows 7.
  How could I then exchange the old files to the new drive?
  What is your solution the best and less expensive?  How do you do this?  Help, please.
  Thank you
  Marco

  I suggest that perform you a clone of the hard drive. Seagate drives and WD offer a free version of the wizard disk.

  Clone the original 200 GB drive to the new drive.  To avoid problems, has chosen a 1.5 or 1 t T drive. Once you have the clone, just install the upgrade on the new drive. All your data will remain intact, and the intact original of 200 GB drive is secure.

  PS > you need a spare sata power and data leads to the clone. Look inside and see what led power is hanging loose. Then I can suggest an adapter or cable. As the DVD is IDE, (not Sata) from what I've read, you will need a Sata data cable also.

• Satellite A200 - 23P - upgrading to Windows 7

  About 2 years ago, I bought laptop Toshiba Satellite A200 - 23P with Windows Vista perinstalled. Now I want to upgrade to Windows 7. I download Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, he wrote that:

  1) more info at TOSHIBA TOSHIBA has a Web site that might give you more information on getting Windows 7 on your PC. Visit the TOSHIBA Web site
  (I have not found information on your web site on the updated issues)

  And information on the TOSHIBA software as: Disc Creator, DVD player, Config Freeetc... that they "don't have information of compatibility on this version of the program.

  I want to know is - this security upgrade to Windows 7? I have to make some preparations or sth like that? Or is it better to stay right on Vista).

  THX.

  Hey,.

  I know, on the official website of Toshiba, is there no more information about the Windows 7 upgrade because this Windows 7 upgrade offer has already ended a few months ago.

  Before an upgrade or new installation, check on the Web from Toshiba site, if all drivers and tools are available for your laptop.
  If so, the upgrade should t be a problem, but I would have preferred a clean install. Correctly, it will work more smooth the upgrade version instead.

• HP Windows 7 unable to upgrade to Windows 10 laptop

  I trust HP for years since we got the first programmable HP hand-helds to JK Gill in 1976.

  To find out that HP laptop I paid a lot for in 2010 is going to be completely obsolete is too sad for words.  Is there SOLUTION No. at all for my computer?  It's a HP dv7-3060us Entertainment Notebook.  I bought with my money of colonization when I disabled for cancer.  It has been a lifeline so far but now it is going to be obsolete?  Is there nothing to do?  There is no way to upgrade to windows 10?  I happen to love windows 7 but I understand that it is a lost OS also.

  Someone at - it answers?

  Thank you very much

  SissyBeans

  @SissyBeans:

  It is often better to have a laptop computer running an OS more old where everything works, only faced with a new operating system where things are 'broken.  As long as it works OK for you, it is not "obsolete".

  The problem, that you are facing is that Microsoft provides only pilots with the most basic features and what you really need for these features in laptops is the specialized drivers written for the specific material found in laptops - and unfortunately, there is no HP Win10 laptop driver.  HP only guarantees the compatibility of Win10 for machines manufactured after August 2013. HP is not no matter what timetable indicating when, or IF, they will produce drivers for older machines.

  So that you CAN update to Win10, I would personally recommend against him.  I tried to update two portable Win7 on Win10 and upgrading two of them ransacked.  Construction machinery 5 years ago only were not with Win10 in mind.

  As for Win7 being a 'lost' BONE - if it is true that MS has ended mainstream support for Win7, MS don't end updates to security for your Windows 7 PC until January 14, 2020. So, there's lifes in Win7 for years to come.

  As for not having Win10, I was a beta tester for Windows products and was one of the first initiates Windows test Win10 - and over the years of this, I have never been also disappointed by the total lack of improvements I have with Win10.  Without new hardware and a touch screen, Win10 is a little more than Win8.2 - with a bunch of stuff that was moving and a new half-baked Start Menu, for which there are better alternative third-party.  He misses you very much.

• Want to upgrade from Windows 7 Windows 8.1

  I have a pc touchsmart 310 and bought Windows 8 Pro on the drive. I want to upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 8 Pro, and then download the free update to 8.1. I learned by a representative of Microsoft if I do an upgrade and not a "clean install" I would still have windows 7 and if I decided to move to windows 7 I was able to do because I did an upgrade and not a clean install completely erases the entire system.

  What I need to know, is if I'm doing this update, I continue to have the touchsmart feature? The touchsmart feature that will allow me to access the webcam, recipe box, Center app, facebook, twitter, HP Movie Store, doodle, add notes and etc? I was told by Microsoft to ask if you have a download that will allow me to have the touchsmart feature in windows 8 Pro. I talked to a representative, but I don't think he completely understood what I was referring to.

  It is the position of HP on the support of Windows 8 and of any computer HP have not supplied with Windows 8.

  Not all the features of Windows 8 may be available on all PCs.

  Your specific experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.

  HP provides upgrade instructions and the drivers will be available for the majority of Windows 7 systems sold after October 1, 2011.

  If you want to restore the original operating system after the upgrade, you must create HP recovery before you put on level support.

  Please note that if you purchased your system before October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed the drivers for them or upgrade of Windows 8 instructions. The upgrade of these systems can be difficult, if not impossible.

   

  and

  Important information about other limitations and requirements;

  Screen resolution requirements

  Limitations with DVD playback software

  Limitations with Blu - ray playback software

  Limitations with TV Tuner software

  Secure boot & other dependent features of UEFI

  Limitations with touchscreen capabilities;

  Windows 7 (and Windows Vista) PC equipped with touch screens will not have full Windows 8 touch features after update. HP computers with hardware key designed for Windows 7 (or Windows Vista) will provide a similar experience for applications point to touch only two after the upgrade to Windows 8. Computers Windows HP with touch input material will not load Windows 8 applications that require more than two simultaneous touch points. In addition, Windows 8 shots of edge may be unavailable due to the bezel embedded on HP touch systems shipped with Windows 7 (and Windows Vista). HP TouchSmart Magic Canvas and HP TouchSmart applications are not compatible with Windows 8 and must be uninstalled before the upgrade. Note that the content created using applications such as Graphitti TouchSmart will be unavailable after the upgrade.
