HP Client Security software preventing the upgrade to Windows 8.1 on my Elitepad 900.

When I tried to upgrade my Elitepad 900 to Windows 8.1 I get a message that the HP ProtectTools Security Manager must be uninstalled before proceeding. I'm then prompted to uninstall the Device Access Manager for HP ProtectTools and Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools. I never bothered to initiate any of this software when I got my Elitepad 900 and now I'm not sure if it's safe to remove it and proceed with the Windows 8.1 upgrade? Hopefully someone here can help me out with this.
Thanks,
LexHex

I have same problem but in a 15-j040us. I made everything that you offer as solution but it cannot upgrade to Windows 8.1.  I read this post from another user with same graphics adapter that my laptop has and it looks like a solution, but at the same time, looks quite dangerous to make. Here is the post. http://208.74.204.203/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/Updating-to-WIN-8-1-Fix-to-black-sc... Let me know if yu can help with this issue as soon as possible.
Thanks!
This  worked for me after 7 attempts with all kind of solutions on different forums. HP Envy 15 Notebook - Intel HD 4000, Nvidia 740
Locate the F11 key and start tapping it as soon as you turn on the system.
Stop tapping once you reach the recovery manager screen.
Click Troubleshoot .
On the Troubleshoot screen, click Recovery Manager .
On the OS selection screen, click Windows 8 . Recovery Manager opens.
Under I need immediate help , click Minimized Image Recovery .
When Recovery Manager prompts you to back up your files, select a backup option.
If you have already backed up personal files or you do not want to back up personal files, select Recover without backing up your files , then click Next . Continue to the next step.
Follow the on screen options and complete the system recovery.
After the system recovery is complete, click Finish to restart the computer. Complete the setup screens and wait until the computer finishes the setup
-Then, make sure to install all updates via Windows Update. Do NOT install any drivers for graphics etc.
-I did NOT do any updates with HP Assistant
-Run the update via Wired network, disable WiFi and Bluetooth
-I did disable all things in Autostart. Could be reached via Win8 taskmanager
-Ran Microsoft Compability checker
Update went fine this time.
Some of my steps might not be needed. And of course if MS compbility checker says a driver is not compatible you will have to update it.
Hopefully it will get you there.

  • Can't uninstall HP Client security in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10

    I have HP Probook 450 G2 and my Computer wants to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. But when it begins the upgrade process, I get the message, that 'HP Client Security manager' isn't compatible with Windows 10 and that it must be uninstalled. In order to uninstall it, I first must uninstall HP drive encryption. But to uninstall 'HP drive encryption' all partitions must be decrypted. I have two partition encrypted. hp drive encryption successfully decyrpted C partition with windows, but it can't decrypt H: partition (it has 60 GB data from my dropbox account). In Drive security it says H partition it's decyrpting, but there are no %. Only gray bar. It's been so for 5 days now. I tried to encrypt the H partition again and it did it in 1 second. After the reboot there was a sign Encrypted next to the partition lettter. I than again tried to decrypt H partition and it again won't do it. There' s only a gray bar without % and a sentence that partition is beeing decrypted next to the drive letter. I must decrypt this partition in order to uninstall 'HP drive encryption'. 'HP drive encryption' must be uninstaled in order to uninstall 'HP Client Securtiy Manager'. 'HP Client Securtiy Manager' must be uninstalled in order to upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    Actually it's H partition that hp drive encryption is decrypting 5 days now (without % sign). I have only my dropbox data there.  I could format that partition and downlad the data from dropbox again (it would take 1 day to download 60 GB of the data again from dropbox). D partition is HP recovery partition but I don't have any problems with it yet (i made a letter mistake in first post). I also made HP recovery media on USB stick. Will hp drive encryption automaticaly update the status of H partition from 'Decrypting' to 'decyrpted', if I format the H: partition? Will drive encyrption login window (WinMagic’s Pre-boot UEFI) (before the windows login) automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition? Will FilterBootOrder (FBO) variable automatically be removed, if I format the H: partition?I imagine this is automaticaly done via decrytion of all partitions/disk in HP client security (which doesn't work correct at my computer). Maybe afterwards the H: partition is formated and HP drive encryption status updated, I can then uninstall hp drive encryption and hp client security and install win10. This is another option.

  • Please tell me why it takes so long to log into a site protected by 'Rapport' security software since the upgrade to 17.0.1. Also locks firefox temporarily

    When logging into:
    https://service.oneaccount.com/onlineV2/OSV2?event=login&pt=1
    Rapport seems to hang the whole browser. This has only been a problem since you upgraded me to 17.0.1. Have just tried the same operation with Rapport running on IE8 and no problem, from hitting go to being in - 12 seconds and use of the browser. When can we expect a fix?

  • Client Security Software /. Password Manager / Windows Authentication

    I have a T61 w/ XP Pro SP3 installed w/ all current patches & updates installed, Client Security Software v 8.21.006.00 installed, ThinkVantage Fingerprint Software v5.8.4.5476 & the most current BIOS updates installed. I am having a problem with the Client Security Software.
    The CSS/Password Manager software is supposed to hold all of my passwords and authenticate me as I access webpages that require an account & password for access. When the software is working correctly, the Client Security Software / Password Manager package is supposed to drop into the system tray in the bottom right corner of windows...pretty much running as a service.
    After I login to Windows, the Client Security software starts up, I am prompted for my fingerprint (or password, either appears to work)...which then is supposed to authenticate to my Windows password. I have set my windows password and machine local password to using the same password.
    The CSS/Password Manager software then appears to authenticate. I then get the Password Manager application "splash" screen and the Password Manager application opens. The application window appears to be correct and offers several different password options (just like it is supposed to). When I close the Application window, the application icon is in the system tray, running like a service. The Password Manager application window is hiding the small application "splash" screen. When I click "ok" on the application splash screen, the Password Manager "splash" screen disappears AND the Password Manager application icon disappears from the system tray...shutting down the functionality of the application.
    When I talked to Lenovo Support, they said,
    uninstall the Client Security Software,
    uninstall the Fingerprint Reader software,
    reboot the laptop
    press F1 to go into the BIOS
    disable the security chip
    clear out / delete cached fingerprints
    F10 & yes to save changes
    reboot
    login to windows
    reinstall each application (do not enable the security chip)
    reboot
    Register / enroll fingerprints as required.
    Logout/login and at the CSS screen enter the Windows password.
    Problem still exists as described above...
    I also did this complete process all over again AND DID enable the security chip.
    Prpblem still exists as described above
    I have done everything they said to do and still the applications do not function correctly.
    Can anyone give me some help here?
    Thanks
    Cliff

    you are lucky, mine hasn't ever worked before. It makes the whole thing useless

  • Security Settings prevent the usage of this method :-(

    hi,
    since i began using adobe LiveCycle products (well one month by now), mainly the LC Designer, i'm getting the same error by using certain methods (here i have to free translate out of the german):
    "NotAllowedError: security settings prevent the usage of this property or method. App.trustedFunction:14:XFA:all[0].sf_tab[0]:initialize
    is there someone, who can explain, what's do be done to get rid of it?
    thanks,
    valerio

    It looks like your trying to run a function defined at the document level (ie: from within an event on a field) but a trusted function must be defined at the folder level (ie: in a .js file in the Acrobat /JavaScripts/ folder). That how trusted functions get their priveledges, when Acrobat is started, it evaluates the JavaScript in the .js files, sees that the function is marked as trusted and gives it the special priveledges it needs for when it is called. Here's an example of script you could put in a .js file:
    saveFunc = app.trustedFunction(function (path) {
    app.beginPriv();
    try {
    event.target.saveAs(path);
    } catch (err) {
    console.println("Error: " + err);
    app.endPriv();
    Then in your form you would simply call saveFunc().
    Another thing I just noticed, I don't believe you will be able to use the Document.newPage() method from an XFA form (form from Designer) whether you run it from a trusted function or not. Acrobat is blocked from being able to make changes like this to an XFA form, because the underlying structure of an XFA form and an AcroForm is so different that even if you could make it work you wouldn't get the results you'd expect.

  • My security software controls the license verifications, firefox refuses to acknowledge this.

    I am running BitDefender Total Security 2012, it manages all the licensing and verification for websites. BitDefender has a root kit that it keeps trying to give to firefox to show that the site has already been verified by BitDefender, but firefox will not accept it. Any website that requires a user name and password, including gmail, facebook, and websites for my school (I am an IT student at the local community college) firefox refuses to load it saying that it can't verify the site when BitDefender already verified it. Instead of loading the page it just shows the box with the yellow man holding a flag. How do I make FireFox comply?

  • Will i have to reinstall all factory software after i upgrade to windows 10?

    just needed to know if i had to restall the HP software than came on tablet after i upgrade to windows 10? and if i have partitioned another drive on existing drive will it stay as well?

    Linking to self-contained plug-ins via a shortcut can be a good way to keep things organized, but be aware of one thing: 
    Many plug-ins today are not truly self-contained, but actually install additional things like DLL files into the Photoshop installation area itself (something I regard as a bad practice).  What this means is even if you are to link to another place from the plug-ins subfolder under the new Photoshop CC (2014) installation area, your plug-ins may not all run properly.  If they have an installer, your best approach is to use the installer.

  • How do we install the upgrade on windows if if we have acrobat 8 to start with?

    Hi WE have Acrobat 8 pro and wish to upgrade to our new OS windows 7 by purchasing Acrobat X pro but obviously we can't install and run Acrobat 8 on windows 7 so how do we install the upgrade without first installing the earlier version?

    Our Acrobat 8 is an upgrade version for version 7 which we have also.  Its a business and we have been upgrading for years.  But changing the OS has caused a big problem for us as older software that has been upgraded over the years will not install.
    So will the version 8 Serial number still work?
