It looks like this unit has not yet been certified for Windows 8. Review this site to see what to expect when upgrading to Windows 8. Click on More Information at the bottom to get a more detailed list and to have the option to see if HP has tested the unit for Windows 8.
Make sure to install the Windows 8 HP Software Framwork found here.
There is a chance that some functions simply will not work. Since the unit has not been certified for Windows 8 and does not have Windows 8 drivers from HP, the Windows 7 drivers and software may need to be reinstalled using compatibility mode. Review my post located here for the method that seems to have the most success. The key to install HP software with compatibility mode is to let the extraction complete and then navigate to the real software installer in the extracted folder.
I recommend reinstalling the newest driver for each component in compatibility mode as outlined in the linked post. Here is the software page for your unit.
Let me know what happens.

Problems watching Sky Go after upgrading to Windows 10 [error t:3142 / c:4110]

Hi all. I upgraded from the Windows 10 preview to Windows 10 full this morning, and I havnt been able to access Sky Go since. I'd just like to point out that this is not a registration problem with my devices which is commonly reported from people upgrading to Windows 10, and I have added the laptop to my list of permitted devices. It worked perfectly fine just yesterday, but now it won't work at all. Whenever I try to view a channel, I get a message saying "Apologies, this item has been interupted due to an error. Please refresh your page and try again later. [t:3142 / c:4110]". I have tried it on both IE and Firefox and still have the same issue. It might also be worth mentioning that I have the same problem when trying to watch TV on the BT Sport website which also uses Silverlight. I have spent 40 minutes talking to the Sky helpline this morning but made no progess and thought I would try my luck on here. Does anybody have the same problem/ have any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure if anything here will help:
Things to try:
· Rebooting your PC/Mac
· Using another browser
· In Windows run your browser as administrator
· Mac users - confirm your account rights - make sure admin appears under the current user.
· Mac users - add go.sky.com in the parental controls section from the system section
· Add go.sky.com to trusted sites
· Uninstall/reinstall the Silverlight plugin
· Disable Win10 Audio enhancements
· Disconnect any peripheral audio devices (headphones, microphones, headsets etc…)
· Reinstall/upgrade audio drivers. Make sure that your audio drivers are compatible with the OS and Microsoft certified.
· Try Silverlight V4
· Reinstall the PlayReady runtime.

Keyboard wireless key not working after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hello,
I am having hp pavilion dv6-6165tx notebook, where keyboard having a wireless button that turns ON and OFF all wireless devices, After upgrading to windows 8.1, HP Connection Manager is not getting installed, as well as Key is not working, key color turns red and white but no action is performed.
Kindly suggest me some solution.
Note: HP Doesn't provide drivers for windows 8/8.1 ONLY WINDOWS 7 for hp pavilion dv6-6165tx.
Thanks.

Hi @Jayesh_Bhadja ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have looked into your issue about your HP Pavilion dv6-6165tx Notebook and the Wireless keyboard not working correctly. Here is a link to troubleshoot the keyboard.
The HP Connection Manager is something that is for Windows 7 not Windows 8.1. I would uninstall this from your Notebook. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating. It has a troubleshooting tool in this.
Make sure all your updates have been completed. I would try restarting my Notebook a few times.
If that does not help I would uninstall the keyboard from the Device manager.
Thanks.

My computer crashes repeatedly and I get the message pages are not responding do you want to stop, and/or shockwave is not responding do you want to stop. I have Windows XP Service Pack 3, I am having the same issues whether I use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox. My HP Pavilion Desktop has 504 MB of Ram and I am using high speed internet connection. Because it was crashing so much, I used the uninstall program for Flash player to uninstall Flash, I checked my registry and removed anything I saw that was Flash. I then uninstalled Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, then I reinstalled the most recent versions from their websites. I did the same for FlashPlayer and Shockwave Flash. I went to the Adobe website and had them check to see if it was working and it shows I have FlashPlayer 10.3.181.36. The page that shows which version of flash player goes with Windows XP states that I should have 10.3.181.34 (This is what I thought I had before I updated, I was having the same problems). When I went into my computer to see what version I have, it shows 11.5.9.620 Activex and both Flash Player and Flash Player Object is listed as 10.3.181.34. My firewall for Windows is set to medium. I also am running Norton Internet Security. It takes anywhere from 3-6minutes for some of my games to load, and I have to refresh at least 3-4 times in order to play. When I do start to play it freezes frequently and I use escape to free it up. This has been going on for a month. I have no idea what to do. I am not very computer savy and I have been learning as I go.

Wifi problem of G560 after upgrading to windows 8.1

Hi,
I have a lenovo G560. After upgrading from windows 8 to windows 8.1, I cannot connect to wifi. I was wondering if someon else has the same problem.

hi amardoukhi,
Welcome to the Forums.
Your issue might be similar to this thread. Try the solution that was posted to rollback to an older driver version.
The solution was to:
1. Open Device Manager (press WInkey+R > type devmgmt.msc)
2. On the Device Manager, navigate to Network Adapters > right click on the wireless adapter and choose Update Driver Software
   - Link to picture
3. On the Driver Update Window, choose Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer and choose the wireless card on the list.

Reception / Battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1

There are major reception and battery problems with iPhone 3GS after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1.
I can not believe that Apple did not test this for major bugs like this one is.
I am a business user and can not effort to have bad reception. Apple wants to gain in the business clients... I never had this with my former BlackBerrys!
I need a reliable phone not a play thing like this is right now, it just needs it to work propely. And if a major bug like this comes along, fix it immediately. After the iPhone4 story, now this...incredible! Going back to my reliable BlackBerry! It just ain't reliable and takes forever to fix a problem.

I have the same issue after iOS 4.2.1 update. I am using iPhone 3GS officially unlocked by Apple. I tried using different SIM cards and both carriers show same problem when using phone in 3G mode. Phone falls back to EDGE mode showing 'E' from '3G' at start. I have reset the phone and rebooted several times and moved to different cell areas in the city just to verify the problem.
I had no such issues earlier. I also have Nokia E71 which shows full signal and has no such issues.
I have posted the bug on apple iphone feedback page. I hope they Apple will fix the problem and test the release properly on all models before releasing to public.

Problems connecting to the internet after Upgrade from windows 8.1 pro

Cant connect to the internet after upgrading to windows 8.1 pro, what can i do to rectify this problem?
Thanks

Hi,
You can also try to install the older version in compatible mode:
Windows 8.1 Wifi showing "limited" or "No Internet Access"
Solution: revert your network adapter driver back to an older version
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dennis_schnell/archive/2013/08/31/windows-8-1-wifi-showing-quot-limitied-quot-or-quot-no-internet-access-quot.aspx
In addition, disable power management on your network driver:
Open Network and Sharing Center.
Click the Change adapter settings link in the upper left of the navigation pane.
Right click the network connection you want to enable/disable power management support on and click Properties .
Click Configure .
On the Power Management tab, clear the Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power check box.
If the issue still persists, please upload the event log for our research:

Re: NB200-134 - FN key not working after upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate

My FN keys of NB200-134 is not working after upgrading from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 ultimate. I tried installing every drivers found on Toshiba website for my lappy but still it does not work.
Help please

Hi asalamk,
The FN keys are controlled by Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. I think you have forgotten to install these tools
You should check the Toshiba page again and download both tools. Start with installation of Value Added Package then restart your notebook. After this install Flash Cards Support Utility. Once again restart and all FN keys should work properly now.

How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
The blue function keys currently do not work.
There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.

Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

HI Lukon:
Thank you for your post. I will do my best to assist you in this endeavor!
I regret that you are experiencing an issue with the function keys.

I have a mac with os x 10.6.8, should I upgrade it to os x 10.9.is there any problem which can occur after upgrading my os.

I have a mac with os x 10.6.8, should I upgrade it to os x 10.9.is there any problem which can occur after upgrading my os.

It is best to wait till there is a 10.9.1 update as new OS X systems always cause problems to some installations. Better not to risk losing data unless you have a bootable clone that enables you to revert to the original (pre upgrade) state. Haste makes waste.

RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.

After upgrading to windows 10, shutdown/sleep problems

After upgrading to windows 10, laptop will not wake up when lid open. Power is still on. Also laptop will not power off after shutdown sequence. Settings as far as I know is the same as pre windows 10. I'd be grateful for any help here. Thank you

I'm having the same problems. I did update the driverrs for the HD Graphics and it now powers off when I shut it down. It still will not come out of sleep mode though and I can not disable the touchpad when using a mouse. Everything was running fine until it updated to Windows 10.
