How to disable Quick Launch on Pavilion dv8t-1100

The Treble keeps fluctuating, and the wireless connection keeps randomly turning off. I've already tried disabling it through msconfig, and uninstalling the drivers. No dice. I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. I honestly don't care if my warranty is voided for opening my computer.

i have the same exact computer. i just got it today, and the same thing with the same buttons has been happening to me. this is so evil.

Wi-Fi adapter replacement for HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO laptop

I have an HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC laptop. It seems as though the Wi-Fi is going out. After a while I the Wi-Fi connectivity stops functioning and I have to plug in an EitherNet cable to continue on-line. So how do I find out what the part number of the machine is, and where do I order a new one? Thanks.

Hi @MikeatHPformum
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
In answer to your questions about the WLAN adapter and how to order a replacement, take a look at the attached serivce manual for the notebook family. HP Pavilion dv8 Entertainment PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
On page 51 of 148, or if you prefer page 4-17, the section on the WLAN adapter starts and shows the supported part numbers, as well as the replacement procedure.
And to order the parts check out this page.

HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 Hard Drive Diagnostic failure - but runs fine?

I have a HP Pavilion dv8t-1100 CTO Entertainment Notebook PC (Windows 7 Professional 64-bit) that seems to run just fine. On a whim, I ran the pre-boot diagnostic check and received the following error code that the hard drive test had failed.
Q7NK1R-52M62E-XD002J-60WW03
Nothing in my PC's performance prompted me to run the diagnostic test, I simply ran it as a double check for the heck of it.
Is this something to be worried about? Of course an error code is always something to look into but since the PC seems to be running just fine is this a true error or simply a nuisance that should be ignored?
I can not remember making any signficant changes lately to the installed software and have made no changes to the hardware at all.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

How to disable automatic launch of WIE in startup configuration with no options to do so?

Thinkpad T400 2764CTO running Windows 7 Home Premium 64
PC only 2 weeks old, very little on it, but getting slower and slower. Finally found the configuration for the startup menu and disabled several things I knew I didn't want at startup. One problem that I can't seem to figure out, is how to disable Windows Internet Explorer from being launched at startup? I have tried disabling every Microsoft option, and it still launches. Is there a specific Lenovo option [that does not obviously have anything to to with WIE] in the startup menu that, if disabled, will stop the WIE browser from being launched? How do I know which options are not safe to disable when attempting to slim down startup configuration for faster/more reliable performance?
Thanks,
Ann

Either I *completely* misread your instructions; that fix is major overkill for what I was trying to do; that fix does not apply to my problem; that fix is only for XP or Vista and not W7; or my PC is already so messed up (despite clean hardware diagnostics, no viruses, no malware, and it is only 2 weeks old), that it performed unexpected and unwanted actions when trying to use the Windows features on/off program control panel options.
Opened Control Panel, went to Programs, and finally found the option on the left for turning Windows features on and off. Unchecked the box for IE8, which required a restart. The restart time was 4-5 times longer than usual, even when launching superfluous programs from the startup menu, since it had to "reconfigure Windows." After restarting, WIE did not automatically launch, and its toolbar icon was gone too. Tried to turn it back on like you said, which also required a restart, which didn't make sense to me, since I expected the browser to launch again following another extra long restart once the box was re-selected. Although, surprisingly, it didn't, so for a moment thought it had somehow worked. Then I realized that my WIE icon was still missing from the toolbar, so there was no way to launch it even if I wanted to. Went back into the Control panel and checked every Windows feature box possible; another extra-long restart; still no toolbar icon for WIE. Had to go into the computer files to find WIE so that I could create a desktop shortcut icon so I could manually launch the browser from that. However, when I clicked on the shortcut, it went into a browser setup mode, as if it was being set up for the first time. Finished setup and tried to go to a webpage, but kept getting a connection error.
Diagnosed it, and it said that the Local Area Connection had no valid IP address. Waited on hold with Mediacom for a hour before being disconnected, trying to find out what the IP address was and where to re-enter it, since unchecking the IE8 box in the Windows features part of the Control Panel, doesn't just temporarily disable the function, but apparently actually deletes the toolbar icon, as well as the IP address. Took several more attempts over several hours to get ahold of Mediacom reset the signal to get the IP address back and get back online. So that really does not seem like a viable solution for trying to save time and resources by removing something from the startup menu, if it just quadruples startup time, deletes WIE toolbar icon and IP address permanently, requires creating a desktop shortcut, and then requires several more hours on phone with ISP for signal reset to get the IP address back. Would have been much faster and done less apparent damage than just going ahead and letting it launch at startup and then just closing it. *sigh*
I know that just having an icon in the toolbar does not mean that that particular program will launch at startup, as I have several others that have toolbar icons that I have been able to uncheck in the startup menu, so I can use the toolbar icons to launch each program manually. There just doesn't seem to be any program active in the startup menu that would be launching the browser, and still concerned about unchecking something necessary in startup that could screw it up even more.
Is there any way to get my toolbar WIE icon back without a full system restore, so that I have less shortcut clutter on my desktop?

How to Customise Quick Launch in Blog

Hi All,
I am trying to customise the css for the quick launch on a blog site and cannot get the text on hover color to display correctly?
I have also tried using a theme (built with the palette tool) and the navigationhover text also doesn't display even though it is set and saved in the tool.
Can anybody give me some pointers.
Thanks in advance.

on one of the older photoshops if you right clicked the selection button you could chose between quick selection and just normal selection. where is this normal selection button?
You may be mixing and/or confusing terms here. The "circular selection tool" (Elliptical Marquee Tool) and the "quick selection tool" are two different things.
To avoid long explanations of how those work, I'll go right to what I suspect your problem is:
Based on your description, you're using the elliptical marquee tool, and not getting a hard-edged selection. The most common cause of that is you've got a feather value "stuck" in the marguee selection tools' settings. Put it back to 0.
It has nothing to do with "quick selection."

How do you prevent Itunes 12.0.1.26 (windows 7 ultimate) from launching when you dock your iphone?

Hey there b0oz3r,
If you wish to prevent iTunes from automatically launching and syncing the device, all you need to do is uncheck the checkbox Automatically sync when this phone is connected outlined in the following article. The title references Mac, but it is exactly the same on Windows:

Pavilion dv8t 1100 with possible corrupted hard drive

I get a "hard drive corrupted" message when I try to back up my notebook. the messages bascially says that some files were skipped due to corruption. The skipped files are all on the c drive and are all the documents/music/photos/etc.
When I run the hard drive test through the diagnostics menu at start up, it says there are no issues.
Of course this computer warranty has recently expired, so I am trying to determine the next steps.
Ideas? I am able, to transfer files via window's explorer to my seagate back up, so am in the process of doing so, but need to fix the problem.
Thanks.

Run a check disk on the hard drive
http://www.w7forums.com/use-chkdsk-check-disk-t448.html
once it is scheduled, restart the PC, it will run before Windows loads, do not interrupt the chkdsk once it starts.

Quick Launch buttons not working on Window 8.1

I have installed window 8.1 but quick launch buttons, which used to work with combination of FN key, for example fn+F3 key for brightness, fn+F8 for volume, fn+F6 key to lock the computer etc are not working. What is the solution?

Farhan_Raza
I have available a pretty extensive list and I cannot find a Quick Launch Driver for Windows 8.1. Might be one; I don't see it.
I use a completely different arrangement of Custom Toolbars from what most people use so I am not at all sure what constitutes a Quick Launch.
I did find the following that may be close to what you seek:

Possible Option - HP Launch Box Manager
Windows 8.1 provides the following -- this program MIGHT install on your computer and it might run on your computer. It is not rated for your system. You may try it if you like. Windows will tell you if the program is not appropriate for your system.
For Windows 8.1, you might be able to use the HP Launch Box Manager:
Close running programs, browsers, and games
Next:
Create a Restore Point:
Create a Restore Point: Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Download / Save:
sp63808 HP Launch Box V1.1.5
Double Click or Right-Click on the file and install as Admin...
The application installs in seconds and then disappears.
Windows key (opens the Start Screen) > type anywhere, the word: Launch Box >
Click to start the Launch Box Manager
The Launch Box Manager will start on your Desktop and offer a list of available applications from which you can choose eight applications for your Launch Box menu.

Malfunction of media smart and sound on HP Pavilion dv8t entertainment PC

I have an HP pavilion dv8t-1100 entertainment PC with Windows 7 64 Bit operating system.
I have this peculiar problem which is affecting the efficiency of the PC.
The volume and bass and treble volumes just pops up once in a while intermittently even though no sound media is active. When it does that it turns off blue tooth and wireless automatically on and off.
It also temporarily takes control of the PC and interrupts other applications from running for brief periods .
At first it gave a message that 'internet radio is turned on but not discoverable' I have owned the PC for about two years now. It is now getting worse.
Any solutions?
Thanks
Alex
