  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.

• I have a duel processor. C drive is nearly full E reader uses only 30%. What happens when the C drive is full?

  My laptop has 2 dual processor x 75 GB.  Tried to move the files to the E drive but they double and are difficult to locate. Life should be easier than this!  C drive is nearly full, E drive uses only 30%.  What happens when the C drive is full?

  Simple!

  You get a BIGGER hard drive.

  The 'norm' for laptops these days is at least 500 GIGs.

  Which is the same amount that I have in my table.

  2 x 250 GB.

  I have XP Pro on one single, Windows 7, on the other. (And each of them uses ONLY about HALF of these hard drives!)

  In a month or two, I'll upgrade to 2 x 1 terabyte hard drives. sounds a little one 'kill too much', I know, but hey, my computer IS able to be updated that he got so far it?

  Yours is in need of an upgrade too, suggest that there is, to solve your problem!

• How drive letters are assigned to external drives and file path names?

  How drive letters are assigned to external drives and file path names? MyBook is a drive letter (M) when it is connected to my desktop computer and another letter (L) when it is connected to my husbands office, USB key has the same letter, no matter what usb port is used. Is the letter assigned when the file is created and does not change? or is it to the port to which it is connected to? in what computer?

  Each computer assigns the player to the first drive letter not used in alphabetical order.  It makes no difference what port it connects to.

• Could not open any project or external drive backup files

  Hello world

  The way I got things set up, is that my final cut pro project has been saved on the external drive. Whenever I open it, it picks up from the external hard drive. Recently, I had a power outage that stopped my external drive and crashed my FCP X. When I turned things on, I kept getting an error that the FCP closes unexpectedly. I have the option to ignore or to reopen. I tried to open my backups, but I get the same error. Sometimes he was telling me to save it to the internal drive and it would actually open, but I get a lot of lack of links to files. My mac doesn't have a lot of space, so I need to be stored on the external hard drive.

  I thought that maybe it's my sharing and permissions of the drive in the menu get info, then I have everything given access, but does not work. I tried trashing the preference of the FCP, but that did not work.

  I have version 10.2.3 and on Mac OSX 10.11.6 El Capitan

  Could someone help me please? I don't know what else to do.

  If outside go up OK, can find you the library problem, right click on the library icon and select

  Display the contents of the package.

  You can post a page please?

• Unable to open external drive XLSX files

  Hello

  I have a macbook El Capitan having installed Office 365, with the latest version of excel running. Recently, I have been unable to open excel (.xlsx) files from my external hard drive because it gives me a message stating that it is corrupt and offering a repair option - which also fails. I can however;

  -Open the same file on a windows PC 10

  -Open the file in numbers

  -Open any other file on the hard drive (document images, PDFs, Word etc.) in native mode without any problem

  -C' is essential, I can copy the file to the desktop and it opens in Excel without any problem.

  I am at a loss of what it might be.

  Thank you

  (my apologies if this is in the wrong section)

  It seems that there is a problem with the Mac from Microsoft Excel version, opening files from an external drive. Looks like a Microsoft problem that should be reported to them.

• What happens to my hard drive using the 'sleep'?

  Hello

  Could u please let me know what happens on my drive hard when I put it in mode 'sleep'? It stops altogether? or maybe just slows down?
  WIndows 7 operating system
  Satellite A660 - 18

  A power saving of operation in which all unnecessary components are closed. Many devices running on batteries, such as laptops, supports a standby mode. When a laptop goes into sleep mode, it stops the screen and hard drive. Once awakened, the computer returns to its previous status of operation.

  Yes, the HARD disk stops altogether, but after turning on your laptop, you can continue your work.
  Launch multiple applications and use the key combination FN + F3 to mode 'sleep'. After a few minutes, press power button / stop and you will see what happens.

• What happened to the bar that says 'file, edit' etc.? How can I change the font size to display Hotmail? Where can I access 'Cancel '? Thank you-

  How can I access the toolbar which includes "file, print" etc.? How can I change the font size of my hotmail home page? It used to be using "display".

  In Firefox 3.6 and later Windows, you can hide the menu bar on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
  Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.
  Go to "view > toolbars", right click on the menu bar, or press Alt + V T to select to show or hide toolbars (click on an entry to switch from the State).

• TOSHIBA external drive works only with Macbook

  Hello

  I have a 1 TB external drive that I used on my 2007 Macbook without problem until recently when he decided suddenly stop working. Nothing has been changed in the Macbook, I read in some places that there is a problem with enough power of drawing from the usb port to power the player, but have you tried going through a usb port and using a longer replacement cable...

  All advice welcome!

  Thank you

  The question is: is this just a problem of USB connection or maybe the HARD drive starts to crime

  I mean, early or late each HARD drive is going to die, and it's just a matter of time and usage of HARD drive

  I recommend you to connect this drive external DRIVE on another computer just to check if it will recognize

  but to be honest, the question smells like a hardware malfunction.

• Seagate external drive works is not on the new Macbook

  I have a Seagate external drive where I save copies of my pictures and videos from my Macbook Pro.  I just bought a new Macbook Air and Air reads the disc, but cannot be copied to it, it just says: it is read-only.  I'm confused, as I only used it on a Macbook so I know that it is formatted for Mac, plus I can still save using my Macbook Pro so I don't know why it won't work on my new Air.

  Any ideas? I would like to be able to continue the copy on this disc.  I back up my computers online so am not at the risk of losing data, just want to continue with my current system.

  Thank you all!

  You have a new drive to NTFS. You will have to repartition and reformat the disk in the order to the EU.

  Drive partition and format

  1. open utility disk from the Applications\utilitaires folder.

  2. after disk utility charges select the external hard drive (this is the entrance Out-bumpy with of the mfgr.) ID and size) in the list on the left. Click on the button/tab Partition in the disk window/toolbar utility main.

  3. in the title of the Volume entitled plan set the number of partitions in the menu drop-down one. Click the Options button, set the GUID partition scheme, and then click the OK button. Set the type of Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Click on the Apply/Erase button and wait until the process is complete.

  4. Select the volume you just created (it's the subentries under the entry for the road) in the list on the left. Click on the Erase tab in the main window of disk utility.

  5. set the type of format Mac OS extended (journaled). Click on the Security button, look for the button zero data and click OK to return to the window to erase it.

  6. click on the delete button. The formatting process can take up to several hours depending on the size of the disk.

  Steps 4 through 6 are optional, but should be used on a player that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if another (not OS X) operating system has been installed on the disk.

  The steps above may differ slightly depending on the version of OS X and disk utility.

• What happens if you delete a large file over the encryption process

  I understand that Bitlocker creates a file large placeholder during the initial encryption process, leaving about 6 GB free. So I was wondering, what happens if during this process, you remove one or more of your files and empty trash, in turn leaving for example tens of gigabytes of free space "new"? Bitlocker placeholders file will not automatically increase after that. This little 'will become' what Bitlocker is trying to accomplish?

  I know not if interrupt you the process and continue another day, a large placeholder file will be recreated then also fill the space you released they sleep (which is not the case in the same session when you remove some of your files).

• What happens to changes made to the file during a p2v/v2v conversion?

  We are eager to do a V2V conversion on a file server that has a data partition on thick disk of provisioned to get slim with HDD resize.  I started an online conversion (vm under tension) and things are going very well, but what happens to files that are modified on the server while this process takes place?  Virtual machine changes source is written to the destination virtual machine towards the end of the conversion process?  Similar to when you migrate to another host/store data?

  I looked through the converter and the importer a few user guides, but I've seen no mention of this.  They were older documents, I found for esx 3.x.

  Someone at - it a document or advice on this?

  Thank you.

  5 converter has the ability to intercept any change during the P2V conversion of post synchronization. There are two types - a regular synchronization and let the live conversion or a final synchronization that complements the P2V.

• What happened to the consolidation of the files you import into iTunes

  Hello

  I use iTunes on Windows 10 12.4.0.119. I have an iPhone 6 s, an iPad 2 and an iPod Shuffle.

  I've just updated iTunes and it changed not only the path to my library, it has also lost all my playlists. After I changed that in my preferences, and loaded new iTunes all my music, it lacks now album covers. The ability to find album covers has disappeared. However the worst part: I just added music to my iTunes, I want to combine the tunes so it creates a folder with the songs and the album info in my iTunes library but the order disappeared.

  How do I consolidate my music?

  Please notify.

  C.

  I find the option under file > library > consolidate files.

  I made sure to select all the files I want to be consolidated.

  The options to find the works of the album is also in file > library > get Album artwork.

  The test now.
