I keep getting a message to update to 8.1 and when I entered my product number it said HP doesn't even recognize this computer. I am not too tech savvy, and this I got this for xmas and I am constantly getting the red mark. I have the HP ENVY 15 Notebook, I have no CD ROM so there is no CD resource or reinstall any of my installed CD programs without my backup.

I have an HP ENVY TouchSmart m7-j010dx Notebook PC running Windows 8.1. Laptop was functioning just fine prior to the update, which means I probably shouldn't have allowed the BIOS update.
There are times the machine sounds like it's taking off - at times where it shouldn't be doing much, e.g. idling on the desktop. The background software running hasn't changed from Vista, but it now seems to be working really hard doing something I have no idea of. I can be sitting beside it and have it going off like a jet engine, and if I approach it and tweak the touchpad the machine tends to settle down.

if it was possible to get the laptop to wake up when the lid is opened? Currently, you can put it to sleep by closing the lid, but when you open the lid you have to push the power button to wake it back up. I haven't seen any option in the power settings to do this either.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMBP 17" users, how important is the thinness to you ? Would you rather have preffered a slightly thicker laptop with a more powerful GPU (+ the accompanying larger heatsink/fan) ? If so, how much thicker would be your limit ?
The current thickness is 25mm(0.98 inch)
I'm trying to decide between a HP 6930p (14.1") or 8530p (15.4"). I would prefer a 14 inch laptop. However, the 6930p only has a VGA port; the 8530p has an HDMI port. Probably 50% of the time its in use, it will be connected to a 24 inch display (a Dell 2408wfp).
I am concerned about the difference in picture quality between the VGA versus the digital connection? In practice, how much difference am I likely to notice? I will be using it mainly for office type work.
I was just experimenting with some drivers and found something interesting. Default Hight Definition drivers from microsoft deliver an absolute clean an uncolored sound.
Yes, IDT drivers somehow modify the equalization providing more bass, even when natural bass is disabled in the control panel. I can assure you this because I'm running my sound with studio monitors.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB hard drive today. I don't have any external cases I could use to do a backup image and I wanted to do a clean install anyway since I haven't done one to this system since I bought it.
I've tried using Dell's driver disc that came with the system but it's out of date.
The Web site has been a mess as well. Selecting through the service tag Dell is offering drivers for hardware that was never part of this machine and hardware that is apart of it isn't listed unless I look at all D630 drivers.
Here's what I've downloaded:
Quickset Application
Sigmatel Audio driver
Touchpad driver
Smartcard driver
Is it right, that there is no action possible for the power button when the lid is closed?
When I am at home I connected the Z to my external display and dont want to open and close the lid every time when I am powering up or down the Z.
I recently downgraded my G710 from Windows 8 (which it came with), to Windows 7. Â The only issue I've noticed is that it does not display anything on screen when you use the function keys, such as the volume up or down, or bright ness up or down. Â The keys work, but it would be nice to see on screen that my volume is set at 2% vs say 100% when I'm turning it up or down.

This laptop seems to be the only one on the dell site that is ~$1000 with a good graphics card and portable (14" or lower).
i had to reinstall XP OS on my XPS M1530 machine. the previous nVidia driver(which was working perfectly b4 reinstalling) seems not working well as i have got couple of times BSOD problem.
then i have tried three different version which r 180.84,185.85_notebook_winxp_32bit_whql, 186.18_desktop_winxp_32bit_english_whql. none of them r good cause i can defference the video quality of the movies.
presently i reverse back to the nvidia_gfgo_17637_xp32, it seems bit better than those others but still i m not happy with the video quality.
As always im trying to make my comp run faster by having less unnecessary programs running and starting up. I have a dv5-1235dx BTW.
At startup (msconfig) i see a few HP programs that im not sure if i need or not to be starting up. This is what i see: HP MediaSmart, HP Quick Launch Buttons, HP health Check Scheduler, HP Wireless Assistant, GrooveMonitor Utility, Java Platform.
Was wondering if any of the programmers out there could crack the M6300 bios so it would blind flash a M1710. I have a video card here from an M6300 and an M1710 that I would be willing to brick and RMA if it doesnt work.

View 5 Replies View Relatedi'd like to install Windows 7 on my Studio 1735.
Questions are:
- Do i have to install the, quite old, Dell Notebook System Software driver?
- Do i have to install the (Vista) Chipset drivers from the Dell Download page or can i download the newer ones from Intel.com? If yes to the latter, which one do i need?
- What about the ATI HD 3650 Video drivers, should i use the , old, ones'from the Dell Download page or can i find newer ones from ATI?
- can i just use the drivers delivered with Win 7 only and use Windows update for some uninstalled devices?
Unfortunately, Dell only provides Vista drivers, there will be no Win7 for the 1735.
What are your experiences on installing Win7 on a Studio 17(35), by the way?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently took advantage of a 20% off coupon for computers from the Dell Outlet.
I ordered a Studio XPS 1640 that included a 128GB solid state hard drive.
Shortly after the computer arrived I started having weird problems. At first I thought it was because I had installed the Windows 7 RC, but eventually I tried re-installing Vista and the same problems were happening (in other words, I spent a lot of time on this). I began to suspect a hard drive problem.
Finally, I called Dell support and while I was on the phone (for over an hour) the hard drive failed. OK...that was Monday and she sent me a replacement hard drive that arrived yesterday.
I installed the new hard drive and the first thing I did was go into the BIOS and it recognized the hard drive, so all was good so far. Next I went into the diagnostic and it came up with a hard drive error. I called Dell and after trying some diagnostics and re-seating the hard drive it was clear that the hard drive wasn't working - it was no longer even showing up in the BIOS .....

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been running my dv6700t notebook with clean install and without installing HP quicklaunch and quicktouch for almost a yr now. My blue buttons (volume, mute, media play back) are working just fine even without these installed (I have not installed quickplay, so I dont need buttons for quickplay to be working anyway). I dont care about display or sound feedback that comes up while increasing volume. So is there any other reason for these to be installed?
Only thing that I wish from these would be if they would let me increase/decrease volume quicker using blue vol. buttons. Right now it takes about 14 seconds to go from zero volume to full volume or viceversa if I constantly keep touching blue-lit vol. buttons. I like how my friends dv4t's volume zips to full from zero when he touches the same buttons. Is there any current version of these softwares that would let me do that on my dv6700t?
I have a Touchsmart 15-j040us notebook that is now a little over a year old (now out of warranty). My laptop has been asking to upgrade to Windows 8.1 since the first week or two after I purchased the system brand new.
Â
The update downloads just fine and begins the install but fails every time when it is trying to install the different devices. At that point the screen goes black, the laptop reboots and I get an error message saying that update did not work and that the system has been restored to its previous condition.
Â
After working through HP tech support, including sending the laptop to them to reimage, I am still unable to perform the update, which means my laptop is incapable of running the apps and programs that HP says my laptop is ready to run.
Â
I am fairly confident that the issue is the Nvidia video driver. The currently supported version (version 9.xxx)Â of the driver is not compatible with 8.1. HP has a driver listed that is compatible with 8.1 (version 10.xxx), but I can't download it until my laptop is running 8.1. Nvidia has posted on the site a driver that is compatible with both operating systems, but I can't seem to download and install it so that I can perform the update. How to download the driver from Nvidia so that I can perform this update?
