It's already RTM in 6 Aug, so its mean we need a new drivers ...
is there any clues about this...i have a trouble to find Webcam and CardReader driver for windows 7 any advise where i can get the drivers for my old notebook like Ferrari 1100 or 1000?
Overview:
If you have never heard about Windows tax, Windows refund or anyone ever getting refund for Windows OS then perhaps it is time to look it up.
I don't think many people are aware of the fact that it is possible (and you have the all the rights to) to get a refund for Windows OS if you aren't planning to use it.
Getting Windows OS refund is like returning unused/unneeded product to get your money back. For example, if you are using Linux on your computer, why should you pay for Windows OS? Or, if your study institution provides FREE premium Windows OS, why should you pay for the crippled one that comes with your computer? Why should you even be forced to use Windows?
I decided not to pay for Windows OS. It is in the principle.
Please note: The key in getting Windows OS refund is in DECLINING the EULA agreement the first time computer boots up (or not turning computer on at all). If you accepted the EULA you are out of luck!
Here is how I got Windows OS refund from Acer Canada:
I purchased my Acer Aspire 1410 from Canadian Staples Business Depot. For 5 days I played around with it by booting Ubuntu Linux from SDHC card to make sure it was working correctly, there were no defects, etc, and after making the final decision of keeping the notebook, I picked up the phone and called Acer Technical Support (1-866-706-2237).
After getting a hold for an agent I explained that I would like to get a refund for Windows Vista Home Premium that came pre-installed on my laptop and quoted EULA agreement:
Quote:
By using the software, you accept these terms [of EULA agreement]. If you do not accept them, do not use the software. Instead, contact the manufacturer or installer to determine their return policy for a refund or credit...................
I updated bios on Acer Aspire E1-510 to 2.11v(legacy BIOS available) so I can install Windows 7.
I successfully installed Windows 7 but when I switch on the notebook monitor starts to blink,it is not happened before untl
I updated the BIOS and installed Windows 7.I returned to Windows 8 but again the same happens.(only when system booting up)I dont like that and i wanna fix that!

No sound after Windows 8 install. tried all suggestions I can find. Works in Linux.Is this ditch 8 and revert to 7?

My Windows 8.1 Envy m6 is not playing sound through either the internal or external speakers.
I have tried the following fixes with the following results:
1) run troubleshooter - audio services not running. Unable to start it; error states endpoint is duplicate
2) update drivers - no fix (IDT High Definition Audio CODEC - 6.10.6433.0)
3) Change System Sounds - fails to play test tone
4) Device Manager - shows the system is running
5) Restore - no fix

View 7 Replies View RelatedToday, somebody (without my permission) updated my laptop from windows 8.0 to 8.1. Later I found out that this person didn't make the, according to the HP supportpage, necessary preparations. HP warns that my laptop now can get problems, like a blank screen, loss of internet connectivity and disabled hardwaredevices. I bought my laptop about 1 year ago. It's a HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC 64-bit.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI use an HP ENVY M6 notebook running Windows 8.1, 64 bit. I was seeing a lot of unwanted popups telling me I needed Java or other add ons which I don't. The computer is less than a month old. I went to that day's downloads and deleted everything I found from that day. Since then, I have no sound. I probably deleted something but I thought I was pretty careful. Can I download a sound card?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI bought a new HP 15-r022tx Notebook PC just 15 days back . It has now started giving problems when booting. The screen goes blank during the boot the wifi lights and the other lights blink. I don't know why a brand new notebook should have this issue.
Mostly its an indication of improper RAM or Hard disk . I have an ADP. Do i go for the replacement of this piece.? Also on searching on the internet i have found this issue very common among the HP laptops. Is there any setting that i might be missing?

Every time I boot it up, I see the Hp logo appear and then go away after a few seconds like usual but instead of seeing the Windows logo, theres just a blank black screen command prompt and nothing happens at all. I did a self hard drive test and memory test in bios and they both passed. I tried going into the system recovery option on startup and it does the same as when I start it up and go to that blank command prompt.
I have a HP 2000 Notebook Running Windows 8. As of last night it was working fine. Since this morning it will not turn back on. I have tried the hard reset with a removed battery. Nothing happened. No lights, no fan, no movement nor sound.

It is labeled in Device Manager: 1-STD HDMI TV (AMD High Definition Audio)
The monitor and hdmi cable work fine with other computers. I have disabled/enabled the HDMI device, and also updated drivers (Windows says my drivers are up to date).

A friend of mine has a HP Pavilion g6 notbook PC which is hopelessly stuck in a loop of "Press the ESC key for startup menu". None of the suggested fixes have worked and I cannot access the operating system. I want to reload Windows 7 Home Premium and should be able to do it with the information on the sticker at the back of the unit. I have the product ID and the serial number. What do I do next?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have this HP envy 17 j000eb notebook with Windows 8 that I really would like to get rid of.
I managed to install Windows 7 on it, but it doesn't recognise some hardware.
Luckily audio and video works as well as the touchpad and DVD-rom, but I don't have any of network adapters installed, nor USB, and I still cannot find any drivers for them.
It shows a dozen of pieces of hardware needed to be installed.
Actually on Presario CQ61-110SLI I have XP installed instead the original Vista. Now I want upgrade to Windows 7 and contestually mount a new SSD Samsung 840 EVO instead the original... what is the right procedure?...
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have recently reformatted my HP 15-g029ca Notebook PC and installed Windows 7 64-Bit. However, it seems that I am missing some of the drivers as several functions of the laptop are not working (Wifi, USB etc.).
I have checked the device manager and all the items under the "Other Devices" have little "!" marks next to them (when i right-click and select properties, under "Device status" it says: "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)...".
"Network Controller-!"
"Ethernet Controller-!"
"PCI Device-!"
"SB Bus Controller-!"
"Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller-!"
For creating a System Image backup the HP guide shows two selections (External Hard Drive or Disc). Can I use a USB flash drive?
View 2 Replies View RelatedBluetooth doesn't work on my notebook. I have an Envy 15-j030eb which includes Bluetooth. I'm running Windows 8.1 Pro. Notebook product number is E4N79EA
In the device manager, I don't see Bluetooth, but there is one unknown device for which there is no driver installed, I assume this is the Bluetooth.
The HP Support Assistant couldn't locate the driver, so I tried to install the MediaTec/Ralink driver (as my WiFi adapter is from MediaTec/Ralink, I assumed the Bluetooth is from the same manufacturer). This is the driver I tried to install: [URL] ....
I tried to install the driver, the installer runs but ends without any confirmation that it was completed.
