• HP Pavilion dv6 - slow start compared to laptop older?

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Pavilion dv6 but noticed that there a start more slow times compared with my old Toshiba Portege R705-P35. I'm just curious as to why this is since the Portégé has much lower than my flag specs.

  Thank you

  Hi TheLongBoarder,

  The slow start could be caused by several different things. The first thing you want to do when diagnosed with a problem with a computer, is if it's a hardware problem or a software problem. In your case, I think it would be a hardware problem. You shouldn't have a problem with the memory or the speed of your hard drive. This model must be run at least 4 GB or 6 GB of RAM.

  It also depends what 'boot' you talk about.

  1. if it was the boot of when you press the power button to the Windows login screen (post), it could be a problem with the BIOS. May not have the most recent version, or the settings in the BIOS cannot be addressed to optimize speed and start Windows.

  If the version of the BIOS is the problem, you can find the latest version by going to the page drivers downloads HP, select the exact model of your laptop (i.e.. dv6-6c35dx) number, select your operating system and navigate to the section called "BIOS". Follow the instructions below to check if the currently installed version is newer or older version online.

  1. Click on Start and then run.

  2. In the text box on the run window, type regedit and click OK. This will open the registry editor program.

     Note: Do not make changes to any entry anywhere in the registry editor to avoid causing serious problems in the system. These steps only directly allow you to display a registry entry, is not to make changes.

  3. Find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE under my computer folder and click the plus sign (+) after the folder name to expand the folder.

  4. In records resulting, find and click the plus sign (+) next to the hardware STORE to expand this folder.

  5. In records resulting, find and click on the (+) sign next to the DESCRIPTION to expand this folder.

  6. In records resulting, locate and click the folder System .

  7. In the results displayed in the right window, locate the entries SystemBiosVersion andSystemBiosDate .

  8. The data in the SystemBiosVersion field contains the version of the BIOS of your motherboard. This field can also contain additional information such as the manufacturer of the chipset and the manufacturer of the BIOS.

  9. The data in the field SystemBiosDate contains the date in the calendar associated with the current version of the BIOS of your motherboard. The date of the BIOS can be useful to determine the current version of the BIOS from the motherboard manufacturer's Web site if the version is not clear in the area of SystemBiosVersion .

  10. Close the registry editor without making any changes.

  The BIOS settings: If the problem is with the settings in the BIOS, there are a couple of tweeks that allow you to optimize speed. When you turn on the computer, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) works a lot of tests on devices and configure the devices connected to your computer. If some parameters are not configured correctly, the startup of your PC speed can be reduced. Enter the BIOS setup and look for commands or settings that may not be correct. To be sure, run a Google search to be sure. Make sure that your first boot device is set on your main hard drive. Make sure that the logo of the motherboard display is turned off. And make sure that the Quick start quick start feature is activated.

  2 if your talking about startup as the loading process connection Windows for a full load of Windows in the Windows desktop, you may have a problem with too many programs to load with windows. In this case, you can easily check and disable all programs unwanted on startup with Windows, which can cause speed problems. You can do this:

  1. click "Start" and type "msconfig" in the search bar and press "enter."

  2. This will open "System Configuration utility".

  3. on the right side of the window, navigate to the tab "start".

  4. you will see a list of all programs to load with Windows. Here, you can decide what you do or you want to load with Windows. Some programs are required to load with Windows so that Windows load and run properly, so careful who you disable. If you are not sure if it's necessary for Windows, you can do a quick search on google to be sure. Search for the song titled "startup item". Copy and paste in Google and type "is"EXAMPLE"necessary to start Windows? You will usually find your answer quickly enough.

  Slow start could be caused by a couple of other reasons as well.

  1.  fragmented - registry Windows registry is the most indispensable of the Windows operating system. When he begins to have problems with the registry, the speed and functionality of Windows becomes considerably slower. I doubt that this could be the problem with your computer. It is possible, but it is new and that if you have applied heavy use in a short period of time, it is not the likely culprit. If it, however, it's worth a check. You can find a good registry cleaner online and give him a check.

  2 of virus or Spyware infections- once the infections on the computer, they can cause immediate damage to Windows features. If you have been online a lot, even with an anti-virus program, you may have a virus any. You must run a full scan just to be sure. You can also download the free version of Malwarebytes and run as well. It works very well and is quite powerful.

  Hope that this helped you and you have this problem is resolved. If you have any other questions, do not hesitate to me message. In fact, I have a model dv6 that I may be able to help in any future issues, you may have.

  Later,.

• SSD drives on laptops "older."

  I have acquired a handmedown laptop of my daughter: it's a G72-102SA, AFAIK.  The BIOS is F.09 - 20/04/2010.  It is currently equipped with a 250 GB HARD drive and I would like to install an SSD.  Crucial scans the laptop and says that an SSD would be nice.  But the advice I read suggest that BIOS SetUp should be set to AHCI for one SSD to be recognized.  Do not see this option anywhere.  That is why my laptop 5 year old can accept an SSD?

  Yes No problem. You don't see any option for IDE/AHCI, because it is set to ahci by default and cannot be changed.

• laptop older does not connect to new router

  Hello

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario A940NR which is several years old.  Until last week, it was connected through a router.  The router has stopped working on all devices (printer, 2 other laptops).  Replaced with a Netgear N150 router. -connected to a desktop computer, wireless to the printer and 2 new laptops.  Most old laptop listed above does not connect to the network.  I tried (wired) connection directly to the ISP modem via ethernet.  He does not even recognize this connection.  I may need a driver updated, but unable to connect to the internet on the laptop.

  Help! and thank you,

  Hi, Darlene:

  Here are more recent (MARCH 2011) a version of the driver for your Atheros wireless card. I suggest you use it since you have a new router. There was a lot of connection problems with your Atheros card and new Linksys E series routers, for example.

• Adding older computers to E3000 network home

  I just bought a Cisco E3000 router and set it up to replace my old router wireless G router (WRT54G) using the supplied CD of Cisco.  He has been activated on a new Toshiba, under Win7 Home Premium laptop and worked well.  Then I created an easy installation on a flash drive key to add my old computer to the new network.  Two old computers are running Windows XP - SP3 and have Linksys WPC54G Notebook adapters (ver 2).  I've disabled the notebook adapter management software and enabled the option of networking Windows wireless via the control panel.  I ejected from the adapter first and restarted the old computer first.  However, the adapter does not connect using Cisco connect from a USB Flash drive.

  Here are the details of the error:

  Error code: 82BD0115
  Error description: wireless adapter does not support WPA or WPA2.
  Model name: unknown
  Model number: E3000
  Serial number: CVQ01KA24133
  Firmware version: unknown
  Operating system: Windows XP SP 3
  Software version: 1.2.10218.1
  Connection type (WAN): unknown
  (LAN) IP address: unknown
  (WAN) IP address: unknown
  The computer IP address: 0.0.0.0

  Ironically, I had put so much the new laptop as Win7 and laptop older topic under Win XP - SP3 to my old WRT54G uning WPA-Personal (see the thread titled here "should I replace my WRT54G?" as of 17/01/2011).

  The wireless adapter on your computer does not support WPA/WPA2 mixed mode.  To make your two computers to go online wireless, you must change the security mode on your router for WPA or WEP, but this will make your Cisco Connect software stops working.

  If you want to use the Cisco Connect software then you must buy a new wireless adapter that supports WPA2/WPA Security Mode.

• Memory not recognized for computer laptop dv5020

  Laptop older specifies 2 GB max memory, but when I install 2 GB (1 x 1 modules) it will only recognize 1 GB.  A scanner memory shows one of the RAM slots is empty even when I swap modules.  I was wondering if there was a configuration switch that I would need to change if she recognizes the two slots?  Both are full, but we show that it is empty.

  The system is 64 bit AMD running XP Home edition with Service Pack 3.

  Hello

  Remove 1 of your memory modules and check if it is recognized in slot 1 and slot 2 - try also with just one module of memory.  Each single module is recognized in each slot?

  It might be useful to reset the default settings of the bios as follows.

  Judgment of the laptop.  Tap here to f10 as soon as you start Notepad to open the menu of the bios.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro S300 - Performance issues running Everquest 2

  Hello, I am currently using the Satellite Pro S300-EZ1511.

  I was trying to find a way to share the memory in the BIOS, but I've been reading around and it seems that you can not do this with these laptops... My question is, what I currently play the game Everquest 2, and I was talking to someone of performance that I currently have to run the game on the lowest setting, and we exchanged Plug and it turned out that his laptop was actually not as good as mine, but he managed to run the game with a better graphic quality.
  Anyone who is familiar with this game, or you have any advice on how to increase the video if possible memory or to simply improve performance?

  I think I should at least be able to run a top quality graphics game layer is... I was looking in the graphic propertiese (when you right-click on the desktop) and under setting 3d but alas I'm not sure what those setting are.
  Any help would be appreicated.

  I find it strange that my laptop older can run this top quaility set then this laptop from new and better.

  > I think it was 1 G of ram and 64 MB or 128 MB ATI onboard card video (I think it was the 128)
  I think that this is the reason why the game runs better on your old laptop because it of a ATI card and these cards are designed for games. There are a lot more nVidia and ATI cards, they are much better than the most recent card Intel graphics.
  As resident said Intel cards are not designed for games.

  Also did you check the system requirements for the game? He argues that Intel graphics card in your laptop?

  The graphics settings are ok. S default settings and for better compatibility and performance. It do not change anything.
  If you read on the internet that other people changed some settings why ask n t they? These people he'll know what to change, but I doubt that this can help you but it s worth a try! ;)

• Pavilion 550-122nd: mouse and wireless keyboard do not work before Windows starts (10)

  The wireless keyboard and mouse (that came with the computer) do not work until Windows is started.

  I want to make a (ghost) image of my hard drive using the boot CD Norton ghost 15.0 (but it also applies to other bootable devices).

  When the CD boots and the program starts I have to click a button (OK / accept) to continue. At this point the wireless keyboard and mouse are not active jet. This is why I can't continue.

  Use a USB keyboard gives the same result (also not active at this point).

  Is there a solution / work around for this?

  Thank you.

  On the pilots seems plausible. Especially because on my laptop (older) with Windows 10 CD bootable (like Norton Ghost) don't Duke keyboard and mouse.

  I'll have a look at the new version of the BIOS and start looking for new tools that will accept my keyboard (and mouse).

  Thank you.

• Satellite 5005-S504 - peripheral USB are not recognized

  Hello

  with my laptop older, one Satellite 5005-S504, I recently problems with the USB ports. None of the three ports detects a USB device. Device Manager does not indicate a problem on the host controller or root hub.

  I am running Windows XP, SP3 and there was no recent updates to be identified as the cause of this dysfunction.

  Suspicion over there?
  Is there a driver available that could help?

  Thanks in advance!

  TH

  Hello

  The USB ports are listed in the Device Manager or not?
  If so, I'll try to remove them and restart the laptop. After that the ports will automatically install again.

  If it doesn't work, you can try updating the chipset driver. Take a look on the Web from Toshiba site to download.

  Have you changed the PC Card controller mode in BIOS Toshiba?
  This option could be found on the second page of the BIOS.

  Usually it s set to autoselect.
  First you need to change the configuration parameters of device for all devices and then you will be able to change the mode of controller of compatible CCIP or Cardbus/16 bit PC card or selected automatically.

  I recommend all three verification options!
