  • How to install fresh windows 8 or 8.1 on hp pavilion g7 A8 AMD vision

    Hello!

    My 8.1 Windows Update has been getting problem he ask to update windows I refresh now I get small footprint in the C: drive, I want to install fresh windows to get more sapce on C drive but without lossing in my other data disks now how do

    Help me

    Since you're working from a laptop, I suppose that you have only one physical disk. You will need to backup all your data on an external hard drive before reinstalling windows.

    However, if 'windows update' is to install the updates, it will just reinstall these updates with the new facility. If you see a screenshot of the error you received, it would be easier for me to identify what happened and better help.

    Something that you can try before reinstalling windows is running software like CCleaner to clean the temporary files on your system. This will ger RID a lot of irrational data that may accumulate on your computer. It can remove certain parameters, so be sure to check that you delete only things you don't need, as the process permanently deletes the user files.

  • Windows 7 professional 64-bit installed fresh is not allow to install any software, even the drivers

    Hi, my question is a little long and weird also, I installed windows 7 Professional download from the MSDN Web site. Its installed correctly and it is no mistake at all, but when I tried to have any software installed on this system installed fresh? the system is not letting me to install any software at all. I'll share my mistake, the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running. check computer system information to check whether you need a x 86 or x 64 program version, and then contact the software publisher. This error occurs when I simply double click on the file and when I try to install the software with the permission of the administrator. I get this error message, windows cannot find 'name and path of the file. Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. I need help on this mysterious topic.

    the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows that you are running. check computer system information to check whether you need a x 86 or x 64 program version, and then contact the software publisher.

    You can get this error if you try to install the 32-bit drivers on a 64-bit version of Windows. Actually return to the web site where you downloaded the device drivers and make sure you download the 64-bit versions of your driver files.

  • T2100ct with Windows 3.11 - how to install Win 95

    Hello

    I have a VERY old T2100ct running Windows 3.11 (MS-DOS 6.22). I would like to upgrade to Windows 95, but don't have a CD player and the internal floppy drive seems to be out of action (sounds to work, but get "drive A does not exist" error.

    I was wondering what might be other options at my disposal for the installation of a new operating system.

    It has 2 slots PCMCIA.

    Any help would be great!

    Thank you

    If the FDD and ODD are defective, I don't see how you want to install the operating system. In this case locations will help any PCMCIA.

  • EliteBook 840 G3: Elitebook 840 G3 clean install of Windows 8.1 - how to install the drivers?

    I bought my laptop working from a former employer, provided that the disk was completely wiped out (no recovery partition or whatever it is) and so I need to do a full clean install.

    I installed Windows 8.1 successfully for an external USB DVD. The system starts, but device drivers are missing, including wireless and wired networks.

    On the website of HP, I downloaded the device drivers for this machine/operating system combination. These downloaded files are .exe files. I put them on a USB key so that I can transfer them to the laptop. I thought I'd install them as follows:

    In the windows Device Manager, identify the network device, right click, select "install driver", point windows in the directory containing the .exe files downloaded.

    It does not work. Windows does not recognize the files .exe as pilots.

    Q1: I'm supposed to perform each of these .exe files (IE, which will install the drivers, and windows will then they are present?

    Q2: Which of the 2.3GBytes drivers should I install? If I install the network drivers Windows will be able to "search the Internet" and find all the other missing drivers?

    Q3: Is it possible to get an OEM installation disc that makes the entire process less painful?

    Thanks in advance for any help and advice.

    You are the very welcome.

    I found a good answer to this question.

  • Using Windows XP. How to install a newer version of Outlook Express?

    Have used Outlook Express for years, but there is no longer anything other that gives me error messages that leave me puzzled.  Please help me.

    If the OE does not start, its usually due to corruption in the message.  Try deleting folders.dbx (hidden) and then see if OE will start.  Once it does not start, click file | Identities and setup a new identity.  This will give you a new message store and registry settings, and you can then go to file | Import | Messages to bring them from the old identity.

  • HP Compaq CQ58 PN D0X18EA #ABU OS WINDOWS 8? How do I downgrade from Windows 8 for Windows 7?

    Dear community

    I really would like to substitiute the Windows 7 operating system for installation of Windows 8. I was told that is not possible, but I wanted to check with you before I give up on this issue.

    Thank you

    JB39STR

    WARNING *.

    HP does not recommend installing Windows 7 on a computer comes with Windows 8, and it will support the installation of Windows 7. HP doesn't provide drivers for Windows 7 and the appropriate drivers are not available for the hardware in the computer. In addition, Windows 7 can not take in charge some of the hardware or software designed for the computer.

    Make sure you create your media recovery HP or USB Flash Recovery discs before you edit or change anything.

    You should ENABLE 'Secure Boot' and 'Legacy Support' in the 'BIOS Setup boot secured' on the settings below page before you may try to install Windows 7;

    or

    In addition, as the hard drive is partitioned as TPG, you must start the computer by using the "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" in the start menu "F9". If "UEFI - CD/DVD drive" or something to that effect does not exist in the start menu, please post a screenshot and/or make startup listed options.

    I suggest to use a disc of Windows 7 SP1 for the best installation experience. If you need a Windows SP1, see 'How to install Windows 7 without the disc' to download and create your own. If the DVD does not start as UEFI, you may need to use a USB Flash drive (can ask "Quick start" DISABLING in BIOS) as the installation media. Please download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool to create a Windows 7 SP1 USB Flash drive. The USB can not be recognized as valid a source of UEFI boot by some computers if it is formatted in NTFS and may require some modifications to work correctly.

    Here are the specifications of your laptop Compaq CQ58-331SA. For your model, HP seems to provide that drivers of Windows 8. Many drivers Windows 7 (with the exception of the Audio driver) from the page of drivers PC laptop HP Pavilion 2123us g6 should run on your computer. Please try this Realtek HD Audio Driver. Do not use the BIOS file in the page g6-2123us is not compatible with your model.

    Thanks for posting to the Windows Device Manager "Hardware ID" additional missing or unknown devices, as shown in the example below.
