Windows 8 screwed up my laptop!

(1) I've updated from Windows 7, and now my keyboard is faulty. The cursor moves randomly, sometimes in the middle of a Word, of course, still backward, and if I'm not careful, I'll be hitting somewhere in middle of the paragraph and sometimes, in the middle of a Word. Can anyone help me solve this problem, or is it just a bad keyboard?

(2) since the upgrade, my dvd player not playing anything. It's like the dvd player that came with the laptop was completely erased. Does anyone know how to fix this? I contacted the manufacturer of the laptop, but so far no help.

You can also make the touchpad less sensitive to the movement or random button. Some keyboards can detect which button not press so just your hand moving on the pad could not move the mouse. Also tapping the device as performance, left click of the mouse.

Many laptops have a stop button to the touch pad just this problem. If you use an external mouse push the button to turn off the touchpad. I have

If there is not a button, then inside the touchpad software there is often an option indicating if a mouse is plugged disable touchpad. I find it and turn it on.

    Hi, Steve.

    My suggestion, because you do not know your exact model laptop, is to run the tool to scan the Crucial memory and it should tell you how your PC can take memory and how fast. I'm assuming that PC2-5300, based on your processor. PC2-6400 also works if it's cheaper to buy.  It will just downclock at low speed 667 MHz.

  • the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop. How to create a windows cd? KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

    the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop.  How to create a windows cd?  KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

    You n "t do it this way.

    You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

    If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

    Acronis True Image Home 11
    EASEUS ToDo Backup
    Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
    Casper
    Norton Ghost

    The process is simple:

    1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
    2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
    3. Install the new drive in the external case
    4. Connect new player to the computer
    5. Clone original disc on new drive
    6. Stop
    7. Unplug the external computer case
    8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
    9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

    When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

    Hi, Matt.
    You can't 'install' Media Center - either you have it, or you don't have.
    Media Center is included in all versions of Windows 7 Home Premium on-site (except for certain markets (Europe and the Korea come to mind), where it is not included by default (but there is a pack for this.))
    If you have the Starter or Home Basic, you must make an Express upgrade to Home Premium (or higher).

    How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Ask them if you can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu
