HP CQ61 - Windows 7 Home Premium - I must remove supply before to turn on pc
HP CQ61 Presario CNF9472RR1- Windows 7 Home Premium 32 and 64 bit - I must remove battery and power supply and after insert them again.
Otherwise without this procedure it won't start.
Battery is normally charged and seems to run normally,
System is updated, I bought it in october 2010
Can you help me ? Thanks
Unfortunately I am not local. I live in Europe.
Contact the Geek squad and let them know what the problem is.
Tell them that there are important documents on your notebook that you cannot lose.
That would mean asking them if they can guarantee that you won't lose your documents.
Ask them if they have access to a utility that will reset the password for you without requiring a reinstallation of the operating system. If they don't have a clue when you ask about MSDaRT's Locksmith utility, then find another shop. Many cities have independent technicians who can do this for you.

I have recently spoken to apple care and they are ringing me back in the morning but I want to try and progress as far as I can before hes does. I have managed to partition my disk but before I go any further it says you must have a genuine copy of Windows 7 home premium, professional or ultimate.
I have windows 8 and this is not listed here. will it work?
It is quite an old mac but running 10.6.8.
Please help
Thanks
VickyWelcome to Apple Support Communities
Windows 8 also works, but only with compatible Macs > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US Note that you can also install Windows 8 in non-supported Macs by Apple, but you will not be able to install the Windows support software.
As you have got Mac OS X Snow Leopard and after checking that your Mac supports Windows 8, you need to download the Windows support software from this website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1638 -
i purchased windows 7 from amazon and i just received it. they sent me windows 7 home premium "OEM System Builder Pack". the instructions say "Intended for system builders only". also says " must be per installed on the hard drive of a fully assembled computer system, using the OEM Preinstallation kit (OPK)."
System Builder - just be sure to get 64-bit version, no one needs or wants 32-bit today, and only comes with one, while retail ships with both 32/64-bit media.
you can't install it and activate on different hardware later is all, and by then for what you saved, so what, Windows 8 or SP2 will be out.
A few people had trouble with Windows 7 SP1 for some reason and not sure exactly why, changes to the boot loader on the DVD I presume. -
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.

Windows 7 home premium reinstall over windows 8
Can I reinstall windows 7 home premium over windows 8? I made the mistake of installing windows 8 as soon as it came out and I dislike it very much! I want my 7 back!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know where you have bought this notebook but I know, for instance, that many people who sold notebooks on the eBay write in description that notebook has preinstalled other Windows version but notebook has valid product key that can be used for any Windows activation.
Fact is that this information is wrong.
Every Toshiba notebook offered with preinstalled OS has Microsoft sticker at the bottom side but product key on it belongs to original version delivered with the notebook. With other words: this product key s useless.
If I understand you right you have non-activated OS version preinstalled on this machine but also you don't have original recovery installation disc.
Now you have two options:
1/ To order original recovery disc (link posted by Tonny)
2/ To install own OS version using Microsoft installation disc and pay for valid licence.
In my opinion option to buy recovery disc is best for you. Using this disc in 2 hours you will have perfectly installed OS that will be activated and you will not have any problems anymore.
After clean OS installation all you must do is to optimize it and configure for usage. Thats all. -
Windows 7 home premium crashed and my hard drive is now unreadable!!
Right so i installed windows 7 home premium in A.H.C.I mode because i was told that mode was better on my acer aspire 5552 laptop after my previous hard drive crashed and i had to reinstall in safe mode eventually i got a new hard drive because the
old one still didnt perform better in AHCI and the new hardrive ran fine for a couple hours. while installing some auto updates it crashed and i tried rebooting but it said no operating system was found or somthing of that nature. i figured i must have just
installed something weird or maybe just a happen chance so i tried re-installing and my laptop said there was a hard drive there but it was labeled 0 unallocated and 0.0mb. I couldnt delete it and i couldnt reformat it to re-install windows. i looked around
and was told i could go into cmos and clean the drive or delete whatever was on it there. it said there was a disk 0 there with 512 b of somthing and it was online but no such luck even after cleaning the drive in cmos the problem showed up the same. deleting
didnt work either the laptop said that function cannot be completed. i then looked into the bios and saw that the hard drive wasnt even there anymore. i tried a third hard drive but this time i switched it back to I.D.E and its been 3 days without a problem
so im assuming the AHCI mode froze my hard drive. now my question is how do i get my other hard drives back and unlocked because i know they still work i can hear them spining and the computer can kind of read them in the cmosYou need to take your computer to a computer repair shop as there are no capabilities in Windows to repair hardware problems and since your computer will not boot, you have a hardware problem. You new disk may have crashed. Configuring your hardware
is not in the scope of this forum. Hardware configuration is the responsibility of the manufacturer, not these forums.

Formatted HP dm4-3099se with Windows 7 Home Premium and Would Want to Re-install the Home Premium
My laptop is HP Pavilion dm4-3099se and it came with Windows 7 Home Premium. The password was misplaced and I was advised to format the system. The system was formatted (all the disks were deleted except the C: drive) and a Windows 8 pro OS installed. Shortly after the formatting, the misplaced password was found. If it is possible, I would love to revert to the OS that came with the system (i.e Window Home Premium) and also recover all the drivers that came with the system.
Please, help me.
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi,
There are Two options available.
1. You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below - these will reinstall the operating system, all required drivers and nearly all of the original software ( the exception often being trials of MS Office ). They will also re-create all the original partitions, including the Recovery Partition.
Order HP Recovery Discs.
2. Another option you could consider is to create your own Windows 7 installation disc.
Also, if possible, back-up the swsetup folder that can be found at the root of your C drive.
You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the correct Disc Image ( this must be the same version that originally came with your notebook - this is listed as Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit ) from the link below and use an application such as ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly to a blank DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here. These Images are clean and from a well-respected source ( Digital River ).
Windows-7 sp1-iso-official-32-bit-and-64-bit
Use the disc to perform the installation, enter the Windows activation key found on the COA Label when requested and when the installation has completed, use the 'Phone Method' detailed in the link below to activate the OS - this method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who just want a clean installation of Windows 7 without the additional software load normally bundled with OEM installations.
http://www.kodyaz.com/articles/how-to-activate-windows-7-by-phone.aspx
Regarding the drivers etc you need, if you were able to back-up the swsetup this will contain all the software and driver installers for your notebook - if you weren't able to, drivers and software you may need can also be found Here.

Ideapad Y560P Windows 7 Home premium Language change
Hello,
I'm living in Korea for 5 years but I'm foreign citizen. After long "research" I've just bought an Ideapad Y560p here in Korea. During the research process I was focused more on the hardware specs because since the notebook was intended for home usage I was not interested in upper Windows 7 versions. I must mentioned that I've start working with computers long time ago prodramming on DOS PC, then administration for a CAD integrated system in a company starting with Windows 3.1 for workgroups until Windows 200 server with Windows XP clients. Vista was skiped due to obvios reasons. Anyhow I had no idea that at this stage of technology development and market situation a company could release an OS that could not be customized in regards with the Language Interface.
After I've excluded Apple MacBook (I have also IMac but the price I thought is a little bit too high) I've bought the IdeaPad Y 560p with Windows 7 Home Premium. The OS is preinstalled in Korean language (I was expected that) but I thought that will be no problem to change. After my laptop arrived I was struggling some time to change the korean language of the interface but no success. After some time I was searching on INTERNET and I could not believe: to be able to change the language you must buy Enterprise or Ultimate version. Sorry for MS but this is really STUPID. Even on Win 3.1 with the kit on 10 1.44" disks you have some limited options to change it.
I've called to Lenovo Korea to find a solution but result = 0. They say that is not possible to change even if on some sites I've read that the OEM have the extended language packs that could be used for this change even on the WIN 7 MONOLANGUAGE versions.
I've called Microsoft korea trying to find a solution to change from Korean to English. Result 0. Anyhaw they were "very nice" to offer me an upgrade at the market price.
Sorry for the this long message but I'm really frustraded and I'm also thinking that Ireally made a bad mistake not going for the MacBook pro.
Does anybody (maybe from Lenovo) have a solution?
In the mean time I'm trying to see if I could return the notebook and to get a refund or to find a miraculous solution on Internet.
I forgot to mention that no instalation DVD come with the notebook to try atleast a clean installation hoping that at the begining I could choose a different language than korean.i was gonna suggest to install language packs, so, nevermind, next step:
no installation dvd required for lenovos, shutdown your computer and press one key recover button ( small one near power button ) and follow the instructions for performing clean windows installation. after that the operation system may ask you choose the language, otherwise, call lenovo support line for resetting your harddisk to default ( in english )
post back if you have negative feedback about your issue ( pls, with pm ) then i'll contact admin and lets see if he can do anything about it. -
I just broke my older Acer Aspire 4752G.
I just backup entire Partition my Windows 7 Home Premium (32bit) with Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium.
intend to restore in this brand new Acer Aspire E1-410.
Acer Aspire E1-410 don't have Legacy Option only UEFI
Acronis True Image Home 2014 BootCD Premium fully support EUFI but alas my Original Windows don't boot
So I intend to use repair BootRec command prompt
These CD Windows won't detect in these Acer
So I call Acer Technical Support They said :
there is NO OTHER WAY to change this UEFI to LEGACY MODE (Build-in Bios mode CANNOT change other than UEFI)
you must install via DVD who FULLY SUPPORT UEFI -> Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 (ONLY in x64bit mode).
I hope you can resolve these for me.
Thank you.It is possible to install Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit from DVD to a UEFI based hardware, but must be done using an answer file. It may or may not work if you are using a recovery DVD. Either way, the OS is not supported on that hardware.
Windows 8 32bit is supported on UEFI hardware.
The problem with Win7 32bit on UEFI is a problem in the bootloader. The OS cannot boot because the bootloader cannot find the OS. I had suspected it may be possible to get the OS to boot by using BCDBoot, but since it isn't supported I have not put in any
effort to determine the method of doing it. -
I have finally got Exchange 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect
I have finally got Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to Exchange 2013 installed on a Server 2012 R2 DC a DC that is connected to the local LAN, I have done this by manually setting up the connect via http proxy
settings as follows:-.
URL to Exchange Proxy Server, I had to set to
.co.uk">username@<external_domainname>.co.uk
**Why can I not connect in the same way as I connect to Exchange Server 2010 with just local NTLM Authentication and no proxy settings?.Hi,
According to your description, I understand you want to know why not Outlook connect to Exchange 2010 by NTML Authentication and without proxy setting in LAN.
I guess you may be referring to Outlook Anywhere. In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default, because all Outlook connectivity takes place via Outlook Anywhere. The only post-deployment task you must perform to successfully use Outlook Anywhere
is to install a valid SSL certificate on your Client Access server. Mailbox servers in your organization only require the default self-signed SSL certificate.
However, In a local area network (LAN) environment, Microsoft Outlook communicates with Microsoft Exchange Server by using remote procedure call (RPC) with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This method provides quick and efficient
access in a corporate network. Within this network environment, we could use MAPI protocol to connect to Exchange 2010. Typically, mail clients on domain-joined computers inside your network use NTLM authentication.
If your want use Outlook Anywhere connect to Exchange server, we have to specify the FQDN of the PRCproxy Server. More information about How does Outlook Anywhere work (and not work), for your convenience:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2008/06/20/3405633.aspx
Note: Basic authentication sends the user name and password in clear text. It also requires that users enter domain, user name, and password every time that they connect to the Exchange server. When you use NTLM authentication, the user's credentials are never
sent over the network. Instead, the client computer and the server exchange hashed values of the user's credentials.
Best Regards,
Allen Wang
The problem is, I have the Client Access Role and Mailbox Role on the same server, when I try to connect to Exchange using Outlook, it screws up Outlook when it does the Auto Discover, the only way I can get it to work is by installing the
certificate first, With Exchange 2013 the normal NTLM Authentication used with 2010 does not work with 2013 and you have to use proxy settings but with the NTLM selected instead of basic authentication,
The other problem I am getting is that when I submit a certificate request the locally installed CA having created the request in Exchange, and then complete the installation of the generated certificate, even though when you check the certificate in Exchange
the Alternate Names are there but they are not actually in the certificate and the certificate the does not work.
In Exchange 2010 two certificates are generated one with what looks like just the certificate authority name in it and one with the external name in it, the one with the external name in it appears to be of the wild card format.
Local machines get issued the certificate with just the local name in and the external machines get issued the one with the external name in it.
Is t possible to replicate the behaviour of 2010, desktop machine on the internal LAN do not need outlook anywhere, only the laptops coming in and out need that?.
I have laptop machines on 2011 SBS, set are up to connect from anywhere using the RPC over Proxy with basic authentication which as you say needs passwords but when they connect in the Office the RPC over proxy seems to be ignored and
they connect using NTLM, that is what I want to do with the 2013 setup.

Cloning Windows 7 Home Premium
I have 40 laptops with Windows 7 Home Premium installed by the OEM. I want to modify one of those systems with the unique settings and software that we use. I then want to create
an image of that system and apply (clone) it to the other systems using third party software. Since all of the systems have a valid Windows 7 Home Premium license with Product Keys and I am reimaging with a valid Windows 7 Home Premium, does this violate
any license terms?Hi,
Your Windows 7 Home Premium as OEM licenses cannot be cloning with one media & key product for all you 40 Laptops.
Reimaging is permitted if the licenses granted to use Volume Licensing media
are identical to those granted to use the originally licensed product. Volume licensing customers who have licensed Microsoft software products from an OEM, through a retail source, or under an agreement other than their Microsoft Volume Licensing
agreement can use copies made from Microsoft Volume Licensing media.
The Home Premium Edition is not qualified to reimaging while the oem license must be the same
Edition/Version/language with the VL license. in VL we have only the professional and the Enterprise Edition.
thanks

It always Bootcamp asistent 4 doesn't recognize Windows 7 Home Premium install disc
Hi there,
I've search half a day for answers in already existing threads but haven't found a solution, so now I dare ask this question.
I have a Imac Mac OSX 10.7.5
Processor 2,7 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory RAM 4GB 1333 MHs DDR3
I want to install with Bootcamp (version 4) Windows 7 Home Premium but after have tried numerous times Boot camp says that it cannot find the installation disc. I downloaded an ISO version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit from the website http://best-windows.vlaurie.com/boot-disks.html#full
and burned it on DVD-RW 4.7GB (TX). I also tried various other versions which I burned but with the same result. I wonder it's the type of DVD I use or the versions. Bootcamp doesn't accept burned installation discs?
If somebody can help me I would be thankful
greetings
GuyUnfortunately, you can't buy just a key. Well, large organizations can get site license codes, or multiple individual codes so they aren't buying hundreds of boxes of media when you only need one, or a few for distribution. If you were able to get a working disk put together from the download, you'll only be able to get a short way into the installer, and then you'll be stuck.
The only other way to legitimately purchase a key is if you already own a legal copy of the OS, and just want another key so you can install Windows on another computer without buying another box. For that, you contact Microsoft where they can verify the key you already have (you read it to them, of course), and they will then sell you another key.
The sure way to have it work of course is to buy a copy of Win 7. It has to be a full retail copy, not an upgrade box. There is a way to use an upgrade disk, but you also must have a legitimate previous version the Win 7 installer can see. Meaning, you need two DVD drives. I did find a few sites selling just activation keys, but they were of course all illegal as the sites had nothing to do with Microsoft.
1) When looking for Win 7, be very careful on eBay. Purchase only an unopened box. Otherwise, chances are high the key has already been used by someone else.
2) There are system builder versions, such as you see listed here. Those are OEM disks that were supposed to be bundled with the sale of a particular PC model. Microsoft themselves say you can purchase these OEM disks and use them, but they are a one time installation. Once the key has been used, it is tied to that specific hardware. So if you were to get a new Mac and wanted to install Win 7 again, you wouldn't be able to from that disk. You can find these all over the place ranging from $85 to $95.
Be forewarned that full retail (non system builder OEM copies) of Win 7 have gotten very pricey. -
Boot-up & BIOS probs - H-P Pavilion P6 2130ef - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Starting up my PC has become an exercise in frustration.. I press the start on/off button and the screen stays black - nothing happens. It's unresponsive to ESC or F11 (to try and get into Recovery manager) or Cont/Alt/Del. It's only by pressing the on/off button at regular intervals that enables me to eventually get to the stage where I can enter my password.
This afternoon I did a Malwarebytescan and also a Disk Clean-up.. Thought I'd fixed it but still the same problem.
When I first got the PC I didn't make a back-up copy of the boot-up as I was waiting for a WD external hard drive - thinking what can go wrong with a new PC..? ☺
I think my BIOS must be corrupted somehow. Is it possible to download a new BIOS?
It's an H-P Pavilion P6-2130ef and I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Windows 7 Home premium 32 bits Pt-Pt
Hi all,
I'm with lot's of issues to find the windows 7 Home premium 32 bits Pt-Pt (Portuguese-Portuguese) to donwload. I have the serial key because I bought the this Windows, but meanwhile I lost the DVD.
Can you please send me a link for the version and language above?
Regards,
DanielHi Dani,
Zigzag is right. I understand it must be very difficult when things do not work as expected.
As I known, there are two types of language packs, MUI (Multi-language User Interface) and LIP (Language Interface Pack).
The MUI changes 100% of the interface to another language and the LIP changes 80% of the most commonly used parts of the interface.
The MUI language packs can change any of the 35 Parent languages to another Parent language. The MUI language packs are only available in the Ultimate or Enterprise editions of Windows 7. The LIP language packs can be installed on any edition of Windows
7. Both the MUI and LIP are freely available.
The LIP language packs cannot change a parent language to another parent language. These are only available for localized languages in countries where there is a large population that speaks a different language from the parent language of that country.
An example is Spain where there is a LIP available in the Basque or Venetian language dialect.
Since Portuguese and English are both parent languages, you would need to upgrade to the Windows 7 Ultimate or Enterprise edition to be able to change the language to Portuguese.
Windows 7 language packs are available for computers that are running Windows 7 Ultimate or Windows 7 Enterprise
