HP Pavilion 15-p229ax using windows 32bit or 64bit ?

Guys, anybody know about the OS of my laptop (HP Pavilion 15-p229ax AMD) ? 32bit or 64bit ? 

Hi: I recommend you install a 64 bit operating system.  It will be easier to find drivers for it and if you ever want to add memory you will be able to, since with a 32 bit operating system you are already at the max.

    why does audio stop when pavilion 23xi sleeps (using Windows 8)?

    Hello again @st3lla,
    I can understand the fear of messing up a computer when I first started seriously working on computers back in the early 90's I had to format and re-install my operating system twice a day for quite a while before I figured out a very important step (at least important for me), and that was after I made a change to my computer to restart it. This way if I messed something up I only had to undo one thing and not 50 because I went wild on it. lol
    Anyways, do not be afraid of your computer all you need to do is learn that step, how to keep your personal items backed up and then of course how to re-install your computer back to factory and you can always start over with a fresh build.
    On to your questions:
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all HP updates are done.
    A - Simply review the HP Support document: Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8) and it will guide you through the process.
    Q - What are the steps to ensure that all Windows updates are done?
    A - Simply review the Microsoft Support document: Windows Update: Frequently Asked Questions and again you will find answers to this question. (***Note: Do not worry if the document refers to Windows 8.1 it is only an upgraded version of Windows 8 and the steps are the same)
    I am also including a Windows Support document: Install the latest Windows 8.1 Update, which will guide you through how to install the Windows 8.1 update on your computer.
    And finally, to put your mind at ease I am providing you with two important HP Support documents: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), and Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8), which will provide you with all the instructions you need to backup your personal files so you do not loose them if you ever do mess up the computer, as well as provide you with instructions on how to put your computer back to how it came from the factory.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you once again for your post on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • I have a HP Pavilion P6000 desktop, using Windows 7.

    I have a HP Pavilion P6000 Desktop.  Model p6531p. For about 2 weeks now, if I stop using my computer for even 5 minutes,
    the processor will turn itself completely off.  Is there something that was set incorrectly that I can change myself??  I'm using Windows 7 (if that makes any difference).

  • Updating HP Pavilion a410n still using Windows XP

    How can I get updates for my HP Pavilion a410n that is still using Microsoft Windows XP when the new HP Support Assistant will not work with Windows XP?
    I'd sure appreciate the advice or help!

    Hi:
    I would just use Windows Update to manage your security and other updates.
    I doubt you will get any new drivers, etc for your machine and periodically if you want you can always check the driver download page for your PC:

  • Unable to open connection to MS Access 2013 .accdb file Under WCF Web Service Project Using Windows 8.1 64bit

    I am encountering the following error when trying to connect to an Access 2013 database:
    The 'Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0' provider is not registered on the local machine.
    I have Visual Studio 2013 SP3 running on Windows 8.1 64bit OS which also has Office 2013 installed (which includes MS Access 2013).  My project is a WCF web service using .NET Framework 4.5.1 using any cpu as target.  I have tried reluctantly
    to install the older drivers as described by in the below article:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/1d5c04c7-157f-4955-a14b-41d912d50a64/how-to-fix-error-the-microsoftaceoledb120-provider-is-not-registered-on-the-local-machine?forum=vstsdb
     and also went through the "Add Data Source" wizard in the Project menu to have the connect string automatically built.  Even with the automatically built connect string I can not connect to the .accdb file from within my WCF web service.
    What's odd is if I use the Database Explorer in Visual Studio it has no problem connecting the my Access file.  I inspected the connect string and tried to use it as well but still get the same error. Even stranger is that I have no problem connecting
    to the Access DB in an ASP.NET project on the same PC. I am also able to connect to the Access file using a simple Windows Forms application.  So I'm wondering if it has something to do with trying to connect to the Access file from a WCF web service
    project.
    What I'd like to know is if anyone has been able to get this to work in an environment as I described above as a 64bit WCF web service project?  I tried to switch my project to 32bit but when I do I get a different error which reads:
    System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:
    Almost to the point of trying to get this web service project done with SQL Express but would like to know if it can be done with MS Access 2013.  Any information anyone can provide to help me get past this issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Have you installed the 64-bit Access driver on your machine? See
    Data Source Names and 64-Bit Operating Systems for the differences in odbcad32. Call %SystemRoot%\system32\odbcad32.exe to check the drivers.
    How do you host your service? Stand-alone or IIS or embedded to another application? Keep in mind that IIS7 runs it in its application pool which is defaullt 64bit. Thus the bad image exception, when compiling your service as 32bit.
    When you need the Access database for your service to store informtation, then I would switch to SQL Server (Express) or XML files depending on your actual needs.
    Also check whether your account under which your service is run has the necessary NTFS file permissions on the access file and the folder. This is getting even more complex when it's a remote folder.

  • How to deploy agent from windows 32bit to 64bit

    Hello,
    I have installed oem grid on windows 2003 32bit. I have a few remote boxes that are 64 bit windows. How can I use oem grid on 32 bit to deploy agent on the remote 64 bit boxes? I can install agent on 64 bit boxes manually but I want to know how to deploy from 32 bit to 64 bit if possible? Thank you.

    First, the bit version of the OEM OMS Host and the Target Agent Hosts is independent, i.e. you can have OMS on windows 32bit and have several 64bit target hosts, where you are running the 64bit agent.
    Unless you have a lot of target hosts, I would recommend either manually installing the agents (mount a share with the installation files and run setup locally) or using the agentDownload.
    Best regards,

  • Audio duplicate feature on hp pavilion-1247cl notebook using windows 7 not working

    . i have a hp pavilion dv6-1247cl laptop.running on windows 7 initially i was able to use the duplicate feature-fn/f4 key to display and hear my web page on the tv screen using the hdmi cable connection. i am unsure if i have accidentally changed a setting recently on my laptop or what,but i am unable to get sound audio any longer through my tv or receiver system as before. the video from the laptop on the tv still shows fine the hdmi connection ran computer to tv then audio cable out from tv to receiver. i can get the sound to work if i connect an audio cable directly fron the hp headphone jack on my laptop into the same audio input channels in my receiver. anyone got any ideas if the laptop is on the fritz or do i just need to change some setting ps the laptop is relatively new thanks for any input ..

    Thanks for the help, but I found the program to fix it. After searching for hours. I stumbled upon this link and it finally worked and the unknown device was only my headset and the other one I just updated by making it search online for the software.

    When does the error occur?  Is it a repeated occurance at boot or some other time?  Any updates made to the system recently (Windows Update or other HP Support Updates)?
    The normal solution to most problems with HP Support Assistant is to uninstall the application from Control Panel / Uninstall a program.  Then download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the HP Web site:

  • Dual Boot windows 32bit and 64bit overclocking problems

    Im pretty new to overclocking and this is my first try I manage to get my AMD Venice 3200 to hit 2500 with 250fsb X 10, HTT 4, vcore 1.44. I used memory divider 166/200 so the memory is running at 208MHz not alot of overclocking on the memory since it is some cheap brand.
    My problem is that I have dual boot and with windows xp everything is fine CPU-z reports the right speed for the cpu and memory when I overclock, and there is an increse in preformance with overclocking, But when I boot windows XP 64bit CPU-z reports the FSB as 200 so it is not showing any change, it does report the change in the memory divider 166/200 and the cpu voltage increased that I applied to overclock. The thing is that when I open systerm properties it shows the CPU speed as 2500MHz but when I test the preformance there isnt any increase. I used Superpi to test preformance and in windows XP 32bit it finishes the 1M test in 36seconds while in Windows XP 64bit it takes 42seconds.
    My system specs are
    AMD Venice 3200
    MSI K8N Platium bios 1.8
    1024MB Wintec Memory 3200
    Geforce 6800 GTO 400/1100
    OCZ ModStream OCZ52012U 520W Power Supply

      Im runing the final release of Windows xp 64 and cpu-z 1.30, I also have Everest Ultimate Edition and it only shows 3% overclock 205 FSB.  Im thinking of formating the HD with windows 64 and installing it again with the systerm already overclock.

  • Do u use vista 32bit or 64bit software with bootcamp 1.4?

    I just got a mac pro and need to use older pc software and will load vista.
    macpro is 64bit computer but the bootcamp 1.4 manual says for XP use 32 bit software. Is this the same for Vista, or can I use 64bit vista software?
    Many thanks

    macpro is 64bit computer but the bootcamp 1.4 manual says for XP use 32 bit software. Is this the same for Vista, or can I use 64bit vista software?
    Bootcamp only supports 32bit windows and while you are correct that your computer is 64bit and can run Vista 64 its generally not recommended.
    First the only real advantage to running 64bit windows is you have access to more ram. The downside is that unlike 32bit windows, 64 bit will only install Microsoft Signed drivers. This can be accomplished by searching the net, but until you get them all your computer will have less functionality.
    Third (I cannot confirm this since I don't run 64bit vista) is that 64bit windows reportedly has issues running games and such.
    Bottom line, problems with getting the drivers, running games just for a more maximum ram means little advantage to going that route.
    Just my $.02

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1445br - Windows 7 32&64bit drivers.

    Hello everyone,
    I had to install 4 HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1445br with Windows 7 32&64 bit.
    Now I need to find driver for USB Bus controller; Display adapters; PCI Bus; Network Adapters
    Can anyone please help me?
    Thanks a lot.
    Ed.

    Hi, Ed:
    Use the W7 x64 bit drivers from this model which has the same motherboard as the one in the s5-1445br.
    They are all listed under the original driver section, and you can install the usb 3.0 driver update listed under chipset if you want.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5231...
    You will have to try and find W7 32 bit drivers on your own.  I don't think it is going to be easy.

  • Like Bob278, I need a telephone help line to install elements 12, using windows 8.1 64bit.  platformman

    elements 12

    is there no way to get some help from Adobe???
    I've tried going through the website.......tried the FAQ...
    It's just one heck of a poor site that keeps going around and around and getting no where.
    I am only trying to install elements 13 and it will not accept my serial number............but I am getting a very bad taste for ADOBE and very shortly this product is going to be returned.
    It's a shame that I cant get an answer to such a very easy question.

  • Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1

    Ahoy,
    I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
    However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
    Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
    DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
    So far I've tried the following to no avail:
    - Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
    - Switching scaled views in the display section
    - Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
    - Running a windows update
    - Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
    Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
    First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
    Cheers.

    Hello Whoissyntax,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    In terms of the video pixel issue, it seems like there might be a hardware failure. You have also done the majority of the troubleshooting. The only other steps I can suggest are here: Display Quality Issues

  • Satellite A350D PSAKCE - Bios 32bit and 64bit update

    Hello guys.
    I need to upgrade my A350D PSAKCE bios. But I don't know what is the difference between Windows_BIOS_Package_V330_1 and Windows_BIOS_Package64_V330_1. Which should I install? I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit edition.

    Hi
    Usually you should not get any serious issues if you would downgrade the OS to 32bit and will still use the BIOS 64bit. But in some very rare cases some features like FN buttons or similar would not function very well
    It could be also possible that only 3.2GB RAM would be recognized due to 32bit OS limitation
    So in your case I would stay with 64bit OS.
