DV7 Running Windows 7 "Pop" in audio or speakers on startup and shutdown

I installed Windows 7 on my DV7-1157cl laptop.
I don't recall having any issues with the sound when I first installed, but there were a bunch of missing drivers immediately following the installation. So I went to the HP driver page and downloaded all of the Windows 7 drivers and installed them.
After installing the drivers, I began hearing a pop in the speakers on startup and shutdown.
I'm sure the problem is with the drivers, because I have since rolled back whatever drivers I could in Device Manager and fixed the pop on startup. I'm still having pop in speakers on shutdown however.
As an aside, I (and Microsoft) were puzzled by HP's insistence that the video drivers for this unit were Nvidia. They're Intel, and the ones WIndows 7 installs do not work properly. We had to go to Intel to find the correct video driver. I'm suspecting something similar with the audio.
This machine is about 1 year old and it is ridiculous that HP is ignoring Windows 7 updates. Any HP engineers listening out there?

i have a dv7i-3300 with the altech lancing sound sys, windows 7 64bit premium, and nvidia chips and graphics. the notebook is 2 days old. fresh install of everything and up to date. the sound pops when i shut down and restart. it doesn't come through the head phones though. i have removed the wireless card (and disabled it's drivers), and I have disabled all other drivers that i could and still boot. the only thing that changes is that the pop goes away on the shut down when i disable the HDT audio CODEC, but it still pops when it boots up. it sounds like the pop is coming throught he base speaker in the bottom of the notebook. I have also turned off the pc speaker (which isn't the same as the base speaker i don't think).
anybody have any new info?

Why are my 2 W S X keys only working intermittently on my HP Pavilion DV7 running windows 7?

Hello,
I'm experiencing a bit of trouble with my 2 W S X keys. They only seem to work when they want to and when one stops working, the other stop working too.
The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion dv7 running windows 7 64bit. I can't think of any changes that have occured before the change but was working fine this time last week. Not dropped it or anything.
A note i saw elsewhere said to check if the keys work works in the BIOS. I opened the BIOS and tried the keys in there upon startup. Didn't work. Logged in left it for a bit and then as if by magic it was then working again (enough so to enable me to write this).
Any ideas what this could be?
Thanks in advance of any help,
Adam

This is definitely from malware - it happened to me last night and I checked online and found 2 many guesses. I managed to resolve it moments ago - and I'm typing with the same computer / keyboard. It is hard to resolve but here is the link to the virus description (which does not mention the specific symptom of losing the 2 W S X keys). I lost the function immediately, and suspected malware right away: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=TrojanDownloader%3aJava...
So this is how I solved it: I had Microsoft Security Essentials and it was up-to-date. However, it does not find it by itself. Spybot finds something but is unable to fix it - even upon a reboot. I installed Trend free atHome(?) virus scan - it does not find it. I installed AVG full Internet Protection - it does not find it. However, while AVG was running (a few hours) Security Essential found it - just like that! So, it appears that when the malware was adjusting itself to avoid being detected, that it was discovered by MS Security Essentials. I fixed it while AVG was running, and tested my keyboard right away. At first the x worked, then the other keys.
This is malware - not hardware, so please stop telling people to clean or replace their keyboards.

I have a PC running Windows XP (yes an antique) with CS3 Photoshop and InDesign and lightroom 2 (yes all antiques). I have acquired a PC running Windows 7 with no programs. I also have a MacBook pro with full CS5 suite. The programs were already loaded with I got it as a gift. Question 1. If I find serial numbers used to download programs to the old PC, can those CS3 programs be put on the newer PC. Question 2. I really want to put CS5 suite on PC machines. Is that possible? Especially since my MacBook is showing some hard drive problems.

You should be able to get the CS3 programs installed and running on the new pc since CS3 is spec-ed for Windows 7 Service Pack 1. Downloading the programs does not require a serial number. You can find them here: Download CS3 products but you will need the serial number to activate the programs. You might be able to find that thru your Adobe account online.
You will not be able to install the CS5 Mac version on a PC and you won't be able to trade it to a PC version either due to it being an older version. Trades are allowed only for the latest version (CS6)

IOP startup and shutdown as windows services

Hi,
Is there a way can we have IOP startup and shutdown as windows services instead of running the bat files?
Thanks,
Hari Devarapalli

Yes. You can install IOP as NT service and start/stop it.
Please refer to "Installing Integrated Operational Planning as an NT Service" in the IOP install guide.

Startup and Shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows?

Hi,
I wanted to know if startup and shutdown scripts for OCS 9.0.4 on Windows are available.
I am thinking something like the ocsctl_sample scripts that OCS10g included.
I have checked the OCS 9.0.4 documentation and not a lot of information for the windows platform is avaiable.
Any information will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ana

There is no scripts that comes with 9.0.4.
One possibility is to just write the commands you normally use in a batch-file, but note that then you have no checking, and if OCS runs on several machines you should have some checking for required processes etc.
We are using some scripts that does this, but I'm not shure where they came from, possibly from Metalink or from this forum. Try a search. Our scripts are changed quite a bit for our needs, but I might be able to find the original ones.

Startup and shutdown of 11i Services in windows

Hi friends, I am new for windows.
how can we startup and shutdown of 11i instacne under windows.
can we do it through services screen
or
can we do it through scripts as we do it on Unix/Linux
which is the best method

Either way is fine. Use the method which you feel if more comfortable to you. But I would suggest keep using scripts, as in future if you move to other platform you will not get surprised.
Thanks

I have a DV7 running Windows 7. I get no sound from the HDMI output.

Video out to TV is working fine. I made sure I have the latest drivers, when I go to Sounds I have ATI HDMI audio set as my default and it shows sound going out on the meter but it does not get to my tv.
I have checked the cable and the jacks on the TV - tried switching both. I can plug my HD DVD into the same cable and get audio just fine.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the ATI HDMI audio drivers and rebooting. Tried rebooting with the cable plugged in and not plugged in. Tried switching the default to speakers - I get the sound on the laptop - switch it back and no sound.
What's worse is the problem is intermittent. I can plug it in one day and it works, a few days later it doesn't. A few days after that it works again.
I have run out of ideas - please help.

I have pop up windows popping up everytime I click on something and I want to know how to stop it.

In the last few weeks when I click on something a pop-up window pops up. I have to click to close it and re-click on what I want. If I have opened Firefox and click on say open Facebook the pop-up comes up and I close it and then click on Facebook again to open it. If I'm in Pogo and click on a game a pop-up Pops up and I have to close it and click on a game again. The BLUE line at the top of the pop-up windows always has Firefox on it. It does this in any thing that is on line.
Is there a way to stop this I'm ready to change from Firefox to something else if it I can get it to stop.

MPlayerX isn't itself the problem; it was downloaded from a source that packaged adware with it. Click here and follow the instructions, or if desired, run Adware Medic.

Laptop (Running Windows 8.1) no longer able to print and now see message Active Directory Domain Services is not available

Have a very recent Lenovo Ideapad Laptop running Windows 8.1. Connected via USB port to HP LaserJet Pro CM1415 frw Color MFP Printer. Was able to print fine nearly 2 weeks ago, but something recently happened - either a new windows or office 2013 update
or perhaps I blew away a certain file by mistake. I can see the printer installed but cannot print to it from anything (Word, Notepad, IE, Firefox etc.). The one thing to note is that usually when I plug or unplug a USB related device, Windows 8.1 recognizes
this and makes a certain chime noise, but with the printer USB cable it never makes that noise - making me think that it never fully recognizes the printer. Also when I select the printer (from within the control panel) and right click for properties (via
admin rights) It never lets me fully connect to it.
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc. Its really annoying because this printer was working fine nearly 2
weeks ago. Looking for any advice now. Thanks.
-Chris

Hi Chris,
à
I have tried all the usual remedies - remove, install all drivers, reinstall printer, Windows update, start/stop print spooler and all other printer related services, etc.
I noticed that you had reinstalled the printer. Just a confirmation, when un-install this printer, please check
if this printer still exist in registry. For more details, please refer to following KB.
Registry entries for printing
If printer entry still exist in registry, please delete that printer entry and re-install this printer again,
then check if this issue still exists. (Please backup registry entries before operating registry. It will help us to avoid unexpected issue.)
àand now see
message Active Directory Domain Services is not available
By the way, would you please let me know where/when get this
Active Directory Domain Services is not available error message? Or provide a screenshot of it?
(Please hide all protected or private information) Please check if all services are running correctly on the computer. Meanwhile, please refer to following article and check if can help you.

PDF files used to open with a "save" option, and I have Acrobat 9 Pro installed on my system (running Windows 7). Now, that icon is gone and I can't save. Is there another way to configure the plug-in or is Firefox preventing this or what? THANK YOU.

this is a new problem. Running Windows 7, latest update of Firefox 3.6.13. Under "Applications", I'm set to "open Adobe Acrobat inside Firefox" (which is what I have always done, then if I wanted to, I saved the PDF file elsewhere). should I/ can I open the PDFs outside Firefox, with my Adobe 9 Pro program?

■ Use '''Tools -> Options -> Applications ->''' <br> then look under content for Adobe Acrobat forms etc;
<br> note a choice of options is usually available
* see [[Options window - Applications panel]]
Firefox is of course a web browser. <br>Acrobat reader is Adobe's program used to read and display the pfd files on your computer. Other programs may be used instead of Acrobat reader. You would normally have the Acrobat program and the pdf file present on the local computer, often both on the same hard drive, if you were opening individual pdf files directly with Acrobat.
Firefox uses a plugin so that it may use Acrobat to open pdf files and display the results within a firefox window or tab. If you do not have that plugin installed, or it is not enabled firefox may be unsure what to do with the file and offer to save it to whatever your default local download location is, without attempting to open the file in firefox.

Issue with HP QuickDock 2.0 on HP DV7 running Windows 7 - Randomly Mounting/Unmounting

Greetings!
I recently purchased an HP QuickDock 2.0, because I have two external harddrives, a USB charger for my phone, and a printer attached to my laptop just about all the time.
The dock works great usually, but several times a day, it will randomly unmount and mount itself, which in turn causes my hard drives to do the same (not good - I have experienced some data loss as a result). I've tried updating drivers, searching high and low on support forums, uninstalling in Device Manager and letting it reinstall, etc. No success yet.
The only thing that looks fishy in the device manager is a yellow caution triangle beside "WD SES Device USB Device" under "other devices." For whatever, reason, it isn't finding a device driver for one of my externals now that the dock has been installed (was not like that before). I've tried to uninstall the device and let it try to find the driver again. No luck. Odd thing is, both of my harddrives still function perfectly, even though one apparently does not have a driver. The WD SES problem did not exist prior to installing the dock.
I've downloaded and installed these drivers (http://cid-cafafbf93acdb073.office.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Drivers/HP%5E_USB2%5E_docking%5E_stati...). No change.
I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Try the following
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp63501-64000/sp63555.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the following link.
Chipset Driver - Windows 8.1
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook by holding down the Shift key as you click Shutdown to temporarily prevent a hybrid boot. Then unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

I'm running Windows 8.1 on iTunes 11.1.4 and my purchased music download says it was not successful and the network connection was reset. What is going on?

I got a new computer today. It's Windows 8.1 and I downloaded the latest version of iTunes. I went to my account, purchased, and hit download all after authorizing the computer. Some music is downloading fine; however a lot of it is saying, "such and such a song was not able to download. The network connection reset." I have no idea what to do! I searched the forums and haven't found one that has the same stuff as me. I have comcast/xfinity as my internet provider and the connection to the internet is wireless. Can someone please help because I would much rather have all of my music available!

See the futher information area of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for download advice and direct links if required.
