Compaq Presario P/N: KC49OUA, will not recover after pressing F11 at reboot.

Hi Everyone!
I Need help getting my Compaq Presario P/N: KC49OUA to go into Recovery when I press the F11 button at reboot. My brother installed Windows 7 Ultimate, upgrading from Windows Vista on the this laptop, and it turns out that HP is not supporting its needed drivers for Windows 7. So I would like to go back the OEM operating system, I see the recovery data on the the D: Presario_RP, Partition, but when I try to open the drive no files appear, although, 10GB out of 11.7 GB is used on the drive. How do I recover the Recovery Partition and get F11 to work, instead of it skipping the recovery process and then loading Windows 7?
Looking For a Solution,
Bill Pierce

Hi, Bill:
Normally, once another operating system is installed, the recovery partition no longer works.
You can't view the files on the recovery partition because it is an image file.
You may need a special program to be able to open and view the contents of an image file, which I am not familiar with.
The solution would be to order a set of recovery disks for your notebook.
Unfortunately, HP no longer carries them.
You can order a set from this vendor at the link below.

I am also surprised you can't get W7 to work on that model.
Most of the Windows Vista drivers should work fine.
What hardware are you having driver problems with?

Iphone 4s will not recover after going on holiday

So i have just come back off holiday,
After going on holiday with my new Iphone 4s (less then 5 weeks old) it worked perfectly the entire holiday, i got to the airport on the way home and switched the phone off in the airport....
After switching the phone back on when i got home i got the error 1611
I then tried to restore the Iphone but got more errors...
Firstly i got 1611 error, followed by the 021,2009,3014,1611 and many more errors.
The phone was in perfect working order until i switched it off, there were no issues i had before i switched this phone off in Italy...
Trying to restore the phone i cannot get passed the restore, every time i restore the phone i keep getting different error messages which freezes, restarts and then gives one of the messages above, the phone itself was not knocked or anything while it was in my bag (sat on my knee on the way home on the plane), there is no physical issues with the phone, its brand new, no scratches, never dropped or anything like that....
There is no reason for this phone to have issues, it has worked perfectly...
I went to the Vodaphone store and they will not even look at it because it is 2 weeks out of warrenty, even though this phone is acutally 5 weeks old.
I have tried so many ways of getting this phone back up and running, I have tried restoring the phone to previous versions... only got more errors...
I am now at a dead end... please does anyone know of a way of restoring an phone 4s without being switched on or another way without being in restore / DFU mode.
Please Please Please can someone help

My macbook pro will not start after pressing the power button

I have bought a macbook pro last year and now, I have a great problem since a few months.
My macbook does not boot up, I hear no fan noices and no LED lights are blinking...
Battey is full, but nothing happens (means system will not start up).
I have also tried to start with the Power button - but the similar effect "NOTHING HAPENS".
What I don't understand is, if I do nothing for one or two days and press then the power button, the system will start up and full functionality for a few days.
And anytime I get the same problem again... and must wait also for a few days.
Can anybody support me please.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to a fast reply.

Windows 8 Laptop will not recover after closing the lid

I have a Compaq C60-420US.
The OS was Win7 on an OEM install which worked fine. I could close the lid of the laptop and when opened, the OS would resume normal operation.
I upgraded the OS to Win8.
Since the upgrade, when I close the PC top and then open it, I cannot get the computer to respond. The drive shows activity, the DVD sounds like it goes active for a moment but the screen remains black. If I press the on/off button it begins
flashing and when pressed again it does the same type of activity as when I open the laptop cover. I have made sure that the BIOS is up to date. I have tried disabling the CPU sleep mode in BIOS, no change. I have tried disabling hibernate
in power options, no change. I tried reverting to the Win7 video drivers from the HP website, no change. I don't know what else to try.
I have researched this problem on google search and have come up empty other than the things that I have already tried.

There are currently no drivers up on the HP website for this monitor using Win8.
So, try installing Win-7 drivers in compatibility mode.   If switchable graphics are involved see this tip
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Display-and-Video-e-g-Windows-8/I-upgraded-to-Windows-8-How-do-I-get-switchable-graphics-to/m-p/2213275
Also, I think it would be interesting to see if you could boot in VGA mode, e.g. as a workaround if you didn't have the second monitor to use.   A procedure that I have been suggesting on that tack involves this loop, assuming the lock screen is
being shown on the black screen...
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_update/never-ending-cycle-after-windows-update-turns/d36579c0-8fa5-4930-ae57-bc608d26564f?msgId=2a507498-9e0b-4214-9adb-e5342dc841e3
<quote>
<loop>
Shift-Tab, Shift-Enter, wait.   If the drive light start flashing, wait even longer for it to settle down.
</loop>
</quote>
Now I'm wondering if the problem could be related to the resolution required to show your lock screen?  Is there anything special about it in that regard?   If so, maybe the target of my workaround should be the Space Needle?
(E.g. the lock screen for unknown account.)...
Oh, no.   I have made a change which invalidates my procedure and I can't figure out how to undo it.   I have done something which requires me to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete before I can use the Lock Screen. Also, in that case I'm finding
that Shift-Enter may not be appropriate any more but only a Space would be allowed (e.g. for my Plan-B, opening the Accessibility menu in order to hear Narrator's comforting words and then activate Narrator to guide the user through the darkness.)
Why is this being designed to be so unusable?
Good luck

FF works on startup but will not open after closing until I reboot.

Until today everything okay. This evening tried to re-open Firefox and it would not. Rebooted computer & Firefox opened OK but after I closed it an tried to reopen, it would not start. Now it appears that Firefox will only open on a fresh restart of my computer. Running W-7 64 bit.

Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

HP Scanning in Win 8.1Pro will not launch after pressing buttons on Scanjet 200

When I press a button on the scanner, the software that turns up is the default "scanner" in Win 8.1Pro.
I would prefer the "HP scansoftware" to appear. On other platforms, it works fine after installation but on Win 8.1Pro it seems impossible to accomplish.

Hi @JanVranken,
I understand that you are no longer able to launch the HP Scanning software from the printer. I can help you with this.
The Full Software for the printer would need to be installed for this feature to work.
Did you download and install the Full Driver Software for the printer or are you using the Windows Classic drivers?
Here is a link for the HP drivers.
HP Scanjet 200 Flatbed Scanner Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next and click on the software to download and install.
Have a nice day!

Will Not Copy After Being Idle

THIS IS A COPYING ISSUE!!! After installing the upgraded version of Comcast's latest modem/router, our HP 6550 would not print. I contacted Comcast and reported the difficulty and they informed me it was a printer problem - not their new modem. Consequently, we purchased a new HP 5740 printer The printing function worked fine and it would copy immediatley after the printer was turned on, however, after the printer sat idle for a couple of hours, the copy function would not work. If you then turned the printer off and immediately turned it back on, it would copy. Again, Comcast reiterated it was a printer problem. I returned the original 5740 back to the store from which it was purchased and exchanged it for another HP 5740 printer. After hooking up the second HP 5740, the same problems with copying occurred. I returned the second HP 5740 to the dealer for a refund and left town for three months. We recently returned and purchased a HP ENVY 7645 printer from another dealer. We are having the same issues with this printer as we had with the two previous HP 5740 printers. I discussed the situation with a level II supervisor at Comcast and he arranged for a new modem/router to be brought to the house and installed by a technician. The installation occurred today and we are still experiencing exactly the same problem. The Comcast technician who installed the new modem/router (who couldn't wait around while the printer sat idle) said that if the problems occurs after the installation, we should purchase a printer/copier from another manufacturer - or turn our printer "off and then on" when we want to copy. He also asid that if this problem does continue after the new modem/router is installed, it definitely won't be a Comcast problem. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE I SHOULD GO FROM HERE?

Hi @lamoso,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that your HP Envy 7645 will not copy after being idle. I am happy to look into this for you!
I believe this is happening due to the printer going into sleep mode. As the options are for 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 15 minutes for sleep mode to activate. I would recommend trying a hard reset, by going to this post,How to perform a Hard Reset, by @Rich1. It is important that the printer's power cable is plugged directly into the wall outlet, and not a surge protector. See this article, Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector for more information. This applies to Inkjet printers as well.
After the hard reset, I would then make sure the printer's firmware is up-to-date. Getting the Latest Firmware and Product Updates.
Let's see what happens after giving these two steps a try!
Thank you for posting!

Firefox will not start, after reboot.

For a few months now Firefox will not start after I reboot my computer. In order to get it to start I click the exe then must go into task manager kill it, click the exe again, kill it again then, from there it will typically start, but sometimes it may take one or two more trys. When clicking the exe firefox will appear in the task manager under processes but will will start with ~7% CPU usage, then quickly drop to zero every time until it does actually open and start. I have ran a full system recovery and started anew after reinstalling mozilla several times failed to fix the problem. I run virus and spyware checks often and come up clean, and also run Chrome as a default browser.
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Around the time 3.5 was released

Hello Tom.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
Thank you Espeon for the article
