  Go to your retail store, they should have the disk recovery for you or you need to go to your manufacturer directly because the manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that the manufacturer has installed on the hardware, provide your serial number and order the CD on their part. I bet they arrange an expedition to the France and tax treatment for it, but should not be too much.

  Note: The manufacturer was required to provide a way to reinstall Windows. If it is not a set of disks with the computer, there will be a hidden restore partition (do not be confused with the system restore), you would use to return the computer to the State of the OOBE (Out of Box Experience).

• get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  Original title: Windows Media Center

  Whenever I try to add videos (or whatever it is) on my media center it will not add and I get this pop up message "a necessary component of the Windows Media Center has not started properly. Restart Windows Media Center.

  And I restart it, but it still gives me the same thing whenever I'll add things. I also have the Extender for my xbox 360 and video flies never show there either. A few moments ago, I got this working with my xbox and everyhting showed, now it gives me fits. Can someone please help

  Try this for me:

  Task Scheduler (Local)-> library of Task Scheduler-> Microsoft-> Windows-> Media Center-> MediaCenterRecoveryTask

  If this does not work, try this:

  1. open regedit by clicking on the start menu and type "regedit" in the search box and clicking on the link of the regedit program that opens.

  2. go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

  3. click on the file --> export and save a copy of this portion of the registry where you can find later if you need IT.

  4 Note the values in the column of data to "ProgramFilesDir" and "ProgramFilesDir (x 86(). (If you have only one of those that, don't worry. I think that only users of Windows 64-bit will have both, but I don't know.)

  5. If you have a standard installation of Windows, the right for "ProgramFilesDir" column should read "C:\Program Files" and the right column for "ProgramFilesDir (x 86) ' should read"C:\Program Files (x 86)"." If they are not, try changing them to these values. To do this right click on the name in the left column and selecting Edit. Copy the 'correct' value of this message in the data value field in the box that opens. Click OK , and then do the same for the other (if you have two).

  6. RESTART. It will not work until you restart your computer.

  7. Open Windows Media Center and see if the problem is resolved.

  Hello

  Try the following.

  First of all, regarding the manual of maintenance on the link below--remove and reposition your bars of memory.

  If the above makes no difference, and you have more than one Module of memory installed, try the following - if you have only 1 Module installed, try in the other available slot.

  Again, regards to the manual on the link below, delete one of your modules from memory and then see if the computer will start.  If it doesn't, try the same module, but in another location.  If it is still won't start, try the other memory module in both slots, to see if any combination will allow the laptop to boot up normally.

  The procedure for withdrawal of these modules is detailed on Page 50 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

  Kind regards

• Laptop will not start without the battery attached

  Hello

  I have a Hp pavilion dv6700 series (dv6840el) and just, it will not start without the battery attached.

  If I plug in the AC adapter, I get some computer activity (fan, noise of the dvd player and HD drive spins) for about 5 seconds, then shuts down.

  Once I plug the battery (which is dying, who need a replacement), the laptop starts fine.

  So my question is: what is a motherboard or a problem with the AC adapter?

  The AC adapter looks ok, however. But if I am considering buying a spare battery, I assure you that I have a new adapter as well.

  Thanks in advance.

• Pavilion dv9810us: computer HP Pavilion dv9810us laptop will not start

  Reminder: a few days before my laptop does not start up, all using the laptop, the screen has become, I guess the technical term would be 'nuts': horizontal lines an inch in height, made of blocks quickly black and white, all changing left and right, and I could see my spreadsheet in the background.  Could not do something about the problem, so I rebooted and it worked fine.

  Then a few days after that, I tried to turn on my laptop, and occurred the following:

  (1) blue illuminated switch, control all the keys lit in blue (volume, skip, repeat, DVD...), fan began and heard the dvd begins to check for a disc.  This lasted for about 2 seconds.

  (2) off laptop (all lights extinguished, no fan noise or a dvd).  This lasted for about 5 seconds.

  then it would just repeat steps 1 & 2 times: start 2 seconds, stop for 5...

  Steps that my work to correct (without success):

  -J' I disconnected and removed the battery.  Let stand a few minutes.  After I have inserted the battery and reconnected, I pressed the power button.  Same 2 steps as shown above (lit for 2 seconds, turn off for 5, repetition) happened.

  -saw a post on the site of HP on a hard reset.  so I unplugged, removed the battery, which is held from the Start button / stop for 20 seconds.  then replugged (without inserting the battery) and power on.  Same 2 steps above happened (lit for 2 seconds, off for 5, repetition...).

  -J' I reset memory as someone on the HP Board has suggested:

  (1) remove the two memory, then replace both in the correct order.

  Result: same problem (2 seconds 5 seconds, repeat...)

  (2) remove the top memory (1 GB), bottom (2 GB) by leaving in place.

  Result: same problem...

  (3) place 1 GB memory on the bottom, nothing over the top.

  Result: same problem...

  From the above information, no idea what the source of the problem is, and how to fix it?

  It would be to remove the motherboard and "re-invest" the video chip with a heat gun. Configure you with a shield from sheet aluminium with the chip pushing through like dessert in a TV dinner. There are many tutorials online, but like anything else go you better the more you do and the first time is risky. Repair shops using a better process called "reballing", which is basically rebuild the chip and requires hardware, that no individual can afford to have.

  Access to the old hard drive is easy. Physically, remove it from the machine.

  https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=B3tAGVzCS7w

  See 02:20 in. You must remove the plastic adapter for in standard SATA ports. You can leave it in the basket after removing the plastic adapter bar. Then use a usb to SATA adapter and you can plug the old drive on USB ports on your computer again, and it will appear as a USB key where you can copy and paste things out of it to the new PC.

• Vista - computer will not start without the disc

  loaded vista on my computer - now computer will not start without the disc

  Went into my bios as suggested to check the boot order - and, Yes, I got HDD1 as first boot then CD - but then I remembered something I had seen earlier on my computer - it was on the list the HD which had my system like HDD0 files - so, I checked and there it was - listed option HDD0 so I changed HDD1 of HDD0 and was able to boot my computer without the disk system.  Hope this helps someone else with the same prob.

• Windows Vista update will not install and causes cell phone restart. Laptop will not reboot and Startup Repair cannot fix the problem.

  Windows Update tried to install 4 days now. Every time he tries it tells me it failed and trying to install in manually. He said then the laptop restarts, but it does not start. Startup Repair tells me that it cannot solve the problems.
  I don't know how to go beyond this problem, can someone help me? I have no disk Vista as it came pre-installed on my laptop. Help, please!

  If your Vista is preinstalled, ANY support for your laptop is the manufacturer of the computer, not Microsoft.

  Try this:

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

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

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  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.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial148.html

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

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

  How to get Vista recovery Media or the Vista recovery Partition on your computer back to factory settings.

  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.
