HP Advisor, for m9040n HP Pavilion vista home premium not working after installing update.

I have a m9040n hp pavilion desktop with vista home premium.  My hp advisor will not work. When I go to the menue to pull it up the icon has changed and is an icon of white pages. When I select the icon Hp Advisor it gives me a gray dialog box called the file type assistant.  For searching for software to open the file. I've tried to install the sp 43112.exe update recommended for my hp pavilion m9040n with vista home premium but my hp advisor is still not working. Any ideas as to why my installing the update failed?  Is there anything I should do beforeinstalling the update?

Rkmccoy25,
I understand you’re stating the HP advisor isn’t working correctly after an update.
Try doing a system restore back a day or two before the update occurred, if you haven’t attempt that already. Below are the instructions on how to do a restore if you’re unsure.

    Myi iphone4  microphone not working and the home button not work after IOS6 updat

    Did you try another restore and this time not to restore from a backup and see if that makes a difference? This is what Apple would tell you to do next based on my iphone 5 fiasco.
    Make sure all your data is available on your computer for manual syncing later.
    Since you did the hard reset I assume that means your home button isn't broken only that it got frozen before. Were you able to get the Apple logo after the reset? Did it boot?
    And you are using iTunes 10.7?
    I'm just trying to help get you going.

  • K210 Vista Home Premium not booting after latest Vista Update.

    This is my pc specs:
    Lenovo IdeaCentre K210 Intel Desktop PC - Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 1.6GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB SATA II, DVDRW, Intel GMA3100, Webcam, Veriface, Flash Reader, Vista Home Premium SP1
    After the latest windows update on February 12th, 2009. I woke up to my pc error beeping continously at the prompt before windows should boot up.
    I have only had this lenovo pc for 5 months and it was working perfectly fine before this update. Onekey recovery is not working. I cannot get it to boot from a dvd or cd.  I tried a recovery disc, did not work. I changed the pc to boot from the dvd and that did not work.
    If I have it boot normally I get the continous error beeping.
    The fact that I am writing this from my 6 year old HP computer makes me rethink my recent purchase of the Lenovo brand.

    If you think a windows update caused the problem; are you able to say which update caused the problem?
    You could also describe the beep error more precisely before it boots into windows. Or is windows not working at all in normal or safe mode?
    Thanks

    so i recently upgrade to windows vista. and after installing

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

    Hi:
    See if installing the XP audio driver works...
    Download and run this driver.  If it automatically installs the audio, great.  If not...close out of any error windows.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-42513-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on update driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    The select Have Disk and browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp33443\CPL30A5a and select the Conexant High Definition Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
    Then reboot.

  • Audigy SE & Windows Vista Home Premium - No sound after sl

    Hi Everyone,
    I installed an audigy se card in my media center since the onboard audio wasn't supported in Vista anymore. Sound (at least 2.) seems to be all good until I put the machine to sleep while in Media Center. When I wake up the machine, there is no audio in media center, regardless of how much I fiddle with the volume/mute buttons. The only way I can restore audio is if I quit media center and reopen it (for a media center pc, this is sort of a pain).
    Has anyone encountered this and what was the solution? Thanks in advance!
    Here are my machine specs:
    - 2.54 GHz P4
    - ASUS P4PE-BP
    - GB RAM
    - Windows Vista Home Premium
    - ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    - ATI TV Wonder Elite
    - Audigy SE (with latest vista drivers)

    I have exactly the same problem, with exactly the same solution (quit and restart Media Center).
    Does anyone have any ideas? I have looked at BIOS options as well as power options, driver and audio in Vista.
    I find it odd that restarting Media Center fixes the problem. The audio card must have awoke from sleep sucessfully? No reboot or anything else is needed.
    Athlon 64 3000+
    ASUS A8V-VM SE
    GB DDR 3200
    Radeon x550
    Audigy SE
    Netgear WG3T
    Kworld dual tuner 30 PCIe
    Only similarity is Media Center and Audigy SE!?!
    Latest drivers for everthing.
    Thanks!Message Edited by DarrenGraves on 06-4-200704:06 PM

  • Vista Home Premium - Error code 80070490 - Windows update

    Computer - Satellite 200
    Operating system - Vista Home Premium (service pack 1)
    Problem - When I try to update from Windows Update (both manual and automatic) I get error code 80070490
    I have tried - System restore, downloading and paying for "RegCure" and following instructions on Microsoft forum all without success.
    The computer was supplied with a recovery disk which does not have "repair" facility.
    If you have a solution that does not involve a full re-load I would be very grateful
    Please make instructions comprehensible to a non-techno!
    Thank you

    This error may occur if the older Windows Update engine files cannot be
    replaced by Windows Update Agent 3.0 (7.0.6000.374).
    To troubleshoot this issue, I suggest we first reset permission and
    reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0.
    Step 1: Reset permission
    ================
    1. Please download the subinacl.msi file from the following link and save
    the installation patch onto the Desktop:
    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...inityDownloads
    2. Please go to the Desktop and double click the downloaded file.
    3. Please select the C:\Windows\System32 folder as the Destination Folder
    during the installation. Later we will use this tool to reset the permission
    settings on the current machine.
    Note: If UAC (User Account Control) window is prompted for permission to
    continue, please click Continue.
    4. Click the Start Button, in the Start Search bar, type: "notepad" (without
    quotes) and press Enter.
    5. Copy the following commands and then paste them into the opened Notepad
    window:
    @echo off
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=administrators=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CURRENT_USER /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT /grant=system=f
    subinacl /subdirectories %SystemDrive% /grant=system=f
    @Echo =========================
    @Echo Finished.
    @Echo =========================
    @pause
    6. After pasting the above commands, please close the Notepad window. Choose
    Save when you are prompted to save the file. Type "reset.bat" as the file
    name and choose Desktop from the left panel as the save location.
    7. Refer to the Desktop and right click the reset.bat file, then choose "Run
    as administrator."
    8. You will see a DOS-like window processing.
    NOTE: It may take several minutes, please be patient. When it is finished,
    you will be prompted with the message: "Finished, press any key to continue".
    Step 2: Reinstall Windows Update Agent 3.0
    ===========================
    1. Please download the file from the following link:
    Windows Vista (32bit)
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x86.exe
    Windows Vista (64bit)
    http://download.windowsupdate.com/v7...gent30-x64.exe
    2. Save the file to D: drive.
    Note: Please select a drive where Windows Vista was not loaded because the
    file cannot be launched directly from the system root directory.
    3. Click Start->Run, type: "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe /wuforce"
    (without quotations) and then press Enter to install the Windows Update
    engine.
    Note: There is a space between "D:\WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86.exe" and
    "/wuforce"
    Now, let's run Windows Update again.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.1

    I've just upgrade my iphone 4 to OS 4.3.1 and I'm having issues with home button not working. Need to hit it several times before I can close an app or wake the iphone. Any one having this issue?

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1

  • IPhone Home Button not working after upgrade to ios 5.1.1

    Hey everyone,
    I'm pretty sure this is a software failure due to the symtoms the iPhone is showing;
    0 - the home button does not work at all when the phone is turned on and running ios 5.1.1, well it used to work okay when i had ios 5.0.1, I upgraded to 5.1.0 and started working randomly, upgraded to 5.1.1 to see if it was fixed with no luck at all.
    1 - When locked the screen does sometime light up, like when you press the home button and don't slide the unlock button. but it does not exit apps anytime, I mean it doesn't act like it's pressing the home button randomly but only when the phone is locked.
    2- The button does work perfectly when iOS is not running: I can get in and get out of recovery and dfu mode at will, that wouldn't be possible if the button were broke.
    3- what else? Oh yea, not really a symtom: Tried the 'home button calibration' several times.
    4 - It's not filthy, since I really cleaned it thoroughly with a powerful tiny nozed air blower I got and gave a rubbing alcohol treatment too.
    5 - when I shut the phone down it instantly turns back on, I can interrupt the turning on for turning the phone into dfu mode (i'm sure It's in DFU mode because the tinyumbrella log monitor tells me)
    I'm now using the 'soft' home button that goes in the accesibility options, but hey, I didn't pay a ton of money for a phone that the same Apple is gonna break down.
    It's out of warranty and I don't have apple stores where I live.
    I'd downgrade to 5.0.1 in a snap if I could but I'm not into jailbreaking, so the shsh blob thingie is not a possibility.
    Any apple dev around that can give me a workaround?
    thanks a lot in advance
    Added more info ~ 

    I had the same problem with Home button not responding after upgrading from iOS 5.1 to iOS 5.1.1 on an iPhone4.   I solved it but not sure exactly what fixed it.   Here is what I did.
    1.  Took it local Apple store Genius appointment.   They used a special tool and took some lint out of the connector opening.   The Home button started working.   They said even though the phone was out of warranty, I could buy a new replacement one without a contract for $150. 
    2.   The Home button stopped working when I got home.   I got some compressed air in a can and blew the air through the connector to try and clean out more dust.   I now keep the phone with the connector opening facing down in my pocket.   I also struck the phone downward on my hand or other soft surface to force as much dust out as possible.
    3.  The Home button still was intermittent.  I then tried to do a hard reset by holding the power on key and the Home button simultaneously for about 10 seconds.  This doesn't work if the Home button doesn't respond.
    4.  I connected the iphone to Itunes via the USB to sync the phone.  While connected, I did a Hard Reset by Holding the Power button and Home button simultaneously.  I noticed the Home button responded better when connected to ITUNES via the USB.
    5.  I did a backup of the iphone4 by highlighting the iphone 4 while connected to ITunes and right mouse click and selecting BACKUP.    I was prepared to reset my phone4 in iTUNES and restore it from the backup.
    The phone worked consistently before I had to do this.
    6.  As a last resort which I didn't need to do, I was going to copy all my settings for the iphone by selecting the phone in iTUNES and looking at all the sync settings.   I would then have restored the iphone to original factory settings and then sync the phone using the copied settings.  This would have made sure that the backup didn't include the bug.
    Fortunately, I didn't have to do step 5 and 6.   Things started working after Step 4.  So I don't really know if it was the iOS 5.1.1 upgrade or pure coincidence that the Home button stopped working immediately after the upgrade.

  • A1: Home button not working after Ideapad A1 ICS upgrade

    So yesterday I finally tried the ICS upgrade for my Ideapad A1. It worked OK besides all data on internal memory and SD being deleted so I had to reinstall all my apps or restore from Titanium backup.
    In any case the only real problem is that the home button is not working after the upgrade. Does anybody else have this problem and maybe even a solution?
    Thanks!

    Hi, Im using A1 16G and tried to upgrade to ICS for couple of days i read too many articles in different forums....
    Can you put any instruction on how you made it?
    Thanks

  • Nano Second generation, windows vista home premium NOT RECOGNIZEING IPOD!

    Ok this has been driving me CRAZY for the last week. I've tried EVERYTHING that apple has on their support site. I've tried anything that I thought would work from this support forum. NOTHING has worked. I recently built this computer. Installed all the drivers for the mother board. Everything is working fine. My mouse, printer, USB speakers. ALL work fine. Just my Ipod and my Cell phone are not being recognized by windows, and my ipod by itunes. I think my cell might be fixed by fixing the ipod problem, as it may be the similar problem.
    Anyways, I saw a post about disconnecting your printer and reconnecting your ipod. I hear the printer disconnect ( in the device manager it shows the printer as a mass storage device), but the ipod still dont show.
    When I connect my IPOD to my usb cable, it will show on the IPOD that its either trying to charge, or in the case at the moment, that its fully charged ( the battery with the plug in it). But STILL wont show anywhere in my computer. I may take one of my cdroms out of my new build and put it back in my old computer, TRY to see if my ipod works on that computer ( which it did before I built this new computer and had all these problems).
    AGAIN, I've done EVERYTHING on the support site (main), this support site ( most of anything I could find for vista, let alone home premium), anything that I could think of which wasnt much else that was already covered. ANY help would be VERY appreciated. ALSO, is it just me or is there no where to email apple and have them give you some FREE tech support? Or do they want more $$ from consumers? Sorry, Im just venting and Im hungry thanks guys

    Ok, Update. IPOD still not working. I also recently downloaded Ventrilo (off topic but may have some value here) and tried to run it. Needless to say it dont work. So I went to THEIR troubleshooting forum and found that my new MOBO with Nforce Network manager has a problem with allowing vent to run properly. Im not sure if ALL of you have a Nvidia mainboard with Nforce software on it. But, Mine does and what THEY (the vent forum) say is to delete that piece of the software and everything should work great (vent). My problem is, if I delete the network manager. My internet stops working. :/ Hopefully evga ( my main board) responds to me with a answer to WHY my internet stops working, and how to fix it without installing the network manager. But if anyone here has any tips to solve that problem, Id really appreciate it. since my ipod is basically useless now as it is.
    O AND BY THE WAY! I downloaded iTunes 8, same problem. So Im thinking it may very well be that software/driver (network manager) thats causing my problem. Ill let you all know what they say. Also If anyone else who has this problem also uses nforce chipset / network driver, and is having this problem. Let us know. Maybe we can all email nvidia and tell them how they are great at some things but need to fire all their division of network manager creators. Because they obviously are not doing their job.
