Hello Analie,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand you are looking to change the language on your HP Pavilion dv7-1090eo from Norwegian to English. Unfortunately, the Recovery Discs are no longer available for purchase for your computer at this point, but that does not leave you without options.
If you still have Windows Vista installed you can follow the steps in the Microsoft Support document: No need to translate, with this you can Change the display language to English.
If you upgraded to Windows 7 you need Windows 7 Ultimate installed to change the Windows 7 display language. You can do this by following the steps I have set out below:
Install Language Pack in Windows 7 Ultimate 
Step 1. Start -> All Programs --> Windows Update --> Optional Updates.
Step 2. Open optional Updates and go to the section Windows 7 Language Packs.
Step 3. Tick the Language Pack you want and hit OK
Step 4. Proceed with Install Updates
Step 5. Depiction of Windows 7 downloading a Language Pack
Step 6. Automatic install initiated after download
How to change the Windows 7 Display Language: 
Step 1. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Clock, Language, and Region / Change the display language
Step 2. Switch the display language in the Choose a display language dropdown menu.
Step 3. Click OK
Step 4. Log off for the changes to take effect (This will affect only the user profile under which you are currently logged on).
If you have Windows 7, but not Windows 7 Ultimate you can upgrade your operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate which includes Multilingual User Interface (Language Pack) support. You can then install the English Language Pack from under Regional and Language settings in Control Panel. 
You can do an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate which will preserve your personal files and settings: Windows Anytime Upgrade: frequently asked questions, should answer any questions you have concerning this.
Please re-post if you require any additional assistance. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • HP Pavillion DV7

    I am completely frustrated.
    Almost 3 years ago I purchased the HP DV7 laptop. It is supposed to be a flagship of HP laptop range. I am currently still paying on the laptop with I shall complete the payment in June 2014. To date, I have experienced nothing but TROUBLE. Within the first year, the first laptop hard drive packed up. This was successfully replaced by HP. However, I have had to pay somone to re-install the software as the installation HP did, did not function properly and the recovery drive was missing so i could not do ti myself.
    Less than a year later, my screen packed up. Once again, I sent it in for repairs and the screen was replaced.
    My subwoofer on the laptop then packed up and I called in again only to be advised that my warrantee has expired even thou I am still paying on the product.
    My second hard drive packed up soon afterwards and I was forced to purchase a new hard drive which cost me in access of R 1500.00.
    And my final blow.....my screen has gone bonkers again.
    I now own a USELESS FLAGSHIP HP PAVILLION DV7 LAPTOP WORTHLESS R 17500.00.
    I bought an ACER for R 2500.00 about two months after I purchsed my HP DV7 for my wife. It still operates as the day I purchased it.
    My Thoughts.....
    DO NOT BUY HP PRODUCTS. HP = HIGH PRICE = HIGHLY PERISHABLE = HIGH PROBLEMS
    I am uterly disgusted by HP as they are supposed to be world leaders in design and technology with a reputable brand. R19000.00 later, and all I have is a laptop good enough for a RUBBISH DUMP.
    THANK YOU HP FOR WASTING MY HARD EARNED MONEY. I WILL NEVER SUPPORT YOU AGAIN NOR PURCHASE ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS NOR WILL I RECOMMEND ANY OF YOUR PRODUCTS TO MY CLIENTS, COLLEGUES, FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ANYONE ELSE WHO ASKS.

    Do you have another computer with a DVD burner available? If it has Windows Vista or later you can download the free ISO Recorder here:
    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
    Install this program on the computer. Download the .iso to the desktop. Right click and open with the ISO Recorder program. Have a blank burnable DVD in the drive.
    Once the DVD is burned insert it in the DVD drive of the laptop. Tap F9 as you power up to select the DVD drive as the boot device. You have the new blank hard drive installed. Follow Windows 7 install prompts. If you need more specific help with installing Windows 7 let me know. When Windows 7 is installed you can come to this site and get the drivers needed to complete the installation. 
    Here is the driver download page:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4125...
    You might want to download these driver files to a thumb drive or burn them to a disk so you can use them right after Win7 is done installing in case there is no internet acess without the drivers. 

  • I can not reset factory default settings in photoshop, which will enable the "mini bridge". any ideas???

    I tried uninstall and installing the program. I am taking a class and I need to open the "mini bridge" within the program.  The instructions were to open the program and as it was opening, press cntrl, alt and shift to access the default settings. I did this and the prompt came up asking if I wanted to go to factory default settings, I responded yes. The program continued to open and should have shown the mini bridge tab in lower left c@orner of the application page, nothing shows up. This is my dilema.

    Hi,
    The Mini Bridge panel is no longer available in the most current major version (15.x) of Ps CC aka 2014. You can install the previous major version, Ps CC (14.2.1) by using the Creative Cloud desktop application.

  • Default Programs not saving (DInc2)

    Evening folks.
    Let me start by saying that I love my phone. I really do, and its almost perfect, except for one problem. For whatever reason, default programs will no longer save as defaults, specifically home replacement apps. I've checked the box when the dialogue comes up to make the app a default, but the setting never sticks. I've gone to the settings menu and tried clearing defaults, and that didn't help. I even did a factory reset and that STILL did not resolve the issue.
    So, all you techies out there in the vast interwebs, help?

    > "seek support"...is this related?
    Hard to say but I don't think so, you need to call Apple and tell them that hardware test result though it probably means a component/motherboard replacement.
    I think that error is Temperature sensor related, has it been overheating ?
    Have you applied the SMC and Firmware updates yet ?

  • Can I delete the files in ~/Library/Preferences and have all preferences reset to factory default?

    I have this folder inside my /Library folder called Preferences. I was wondering if I could delete all of the files inside this folder and have all of my preferences reset to the factory default?

    First, why would you want to do this? I ask because all of the applications installed also have preference files. Some of the preference files store things like serial numbers. Some programs that use plugins that use serial numbers also store the serial numbers in the host program's preference file. RapidWeaver is an example of this.
    So, If you deleted all of the files in your preference folder, you could have some major headaches for a while afterward.
    If you are curious, there is a program called AppleJack that only runs in Single User mode. It can check preference files for you. There are several others available that cost money. AppleJack is a free open source application.
    Hope this helps,
    Craig

  • Can the pavillion dv7-6157 be upgraded for gaming?

    I bought my son the pavillion dv7-6157nr two years ago and he is having trouble with graphics on the high end games he is playing. They freeze or crash. It has 8G DDR3 SDRam, 2 gen Intel Core i7 2.2 GHz - 3.10 turbo, and radeon HD 6770Ms graphics card. For video memory it says "itchable graphics"...what does that mean?  Can this computer be upgraded in a way that would help the graphics? Is there a graphics card or driver upgrade? Can more graphics memory be allocated?
    I'm getting tired of hearing that laptops suck.
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Here are the original factory specs for the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook Computer. This model shipped with an Intel Core i7-2670QM CPU and a Radeon HD 6770M GPU. "Swichable Graphics" is a system that depending on some system settings and the graphical load, will "switch" from the integrated Intel HD GPU to the AMD Radeon HD 6770M.
    Based on the HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide, there is very little room to improve the performance of this computer. The AMD Radeon 6770M 2GB (this is what you have) is the best this system can accept. Maximum memory is 16GB (you have 8GB). And, in theory, the best CPU would be an Intel i7-2860QM, however there is no guaranty of this.
    As far as drivers are concerned, please the HP Pavilion dv7-6157nr Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers page. The HP provided drivers appear out of date, however you may not be able to install newer driver directly from AMD or Intel.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Software included in "factory default"

    Hi, I just purchased a c655 from someone on eBay and so far it's been a great laptop. The system does still have him listed as the original administrator so I was thinking of restoring the computer to the factory default and start over fresh. Where can I find what is actually included as default software? For example, MS Office 2010 is loaded and I would prefer not losing this if I restore.
    Thanks
    Ken

    We need your full model name/number, there's a Toshiba label on the bottom of your computer. If yours is not a USA model we also need its part number from said label.
    Unless Office 2010 came pre-loaded on your original out-of-the-box setup, you're going to lose it in the Toshiba recovery. But, you can probably still obtain the Office 2010 product key used in your system before doing the recovery.
    Key Finder Programs
    But, unless the same Office 2010 version (Student, Professional, etc) is preinstalled on factory default setup, you're probably going to need a set of disks to install it.

  • IPod 5th Gen will not reset to factory defaults - "Device is Busy"

    I am trying to fix an iPod 5th gen. So far I have gotten iTunes to recognize it, but it needs to be restored to factory defaults. I try reseting it and I get an error message saying that the "device is busy" and it fails restoring. Any idea on how to fix this? I get the same error on three computers, so it isn't my Mac.

    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

  • Personal Settings Reset to Factory Defaults on Boot Up

    I'm on a mid-2012 Mac-Book Pro running OS X 10.9.4 Mountain Lion.
    Every time I boot up my Mac (after it has been shut down) all of the settings on my Mac which I've changed are reset to the factory defaults (for example: the applications shown in the dock, the widgets on the desktop furthest to the left and other general settings such as the motions for the track-pad just to name a few).
    Thanks in advance for any help anyone provides.

    To fix this problem I have already tried running security programs to remove any malware/viruses from my computer, reinstalling my operating system and running disk utility and using the 'repair disk permissions' option.

    Hi Mikeryan,
    Have you tried turning off bidirectional communication?
    Open your printers and faxes folder, right click the icon for your printer, and choose printer properties.
    Go to the ports tab, and un-check "Enable Bidirectional Communication".
    Restart your computer, and try printing to see if the issue has been resolved.

  • Getting this error while opening a folder : This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel

    Hi,
    While trying to open a folder on my Windows 7 Home Premium, an error comes "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this
    action.  Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel." I tried searching on the net but did not get great support for the issue when it happens with folder opening.

    Hi Nikunj Shah,
    First, I suggest you download
    Microsoft Safety Scanner or
    Malicious Software Removal Tool to run a full scan.
    The error messages here seems to be caused by the corrupted registries, which related with the folder association.
    You may take a try to merge the following registry settings to reset the folder association, before that, remember to backup your registry settings first:

  • I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Is there a way I can get the contents of "application-param" element from weblogic-application.xml in a J2EE bean ? Are the contents of weblogic-application.xml bound to the JNDI tree? I am using WLS/WLI 8.1 SP2. Vishwa
