HP Pavilion 17-e049nb windows 7 pro sp1 32 bits upgrade to W8

Hi,
I've downgraded my laptop form w8 to w7 but i found out that's impossible to find W7 compatible and working drivers.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/HP-Pavilion-17-e049nb-drivers-f...
how can i restore and set up w8 again ?
i tried the F11 but nothing happens, i think thats because i've removed the recovery forlder/drive..
if anyone can help me to find a link to download the recovery it will be great.
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi @Urluburulu 
I understand that you have downgraded from your factory installed Windows 8 to Windows 7, and also that you removed the recovery partitions.
Since you removed the recovery partition, you have a few options depending on whether you made a set of recovery disks first. In that case, use the recovery disks. If not then you can obtain a set of recovery media from HP directly. It is not available for download due to operating system licensing issues.
Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive
Your other option, would be to use another Windows installation disk, and then update your drivers from the HP website.

  • Leap connecting to BlackBerry Link on Windows 7 Pro SP1 64-bit

    Connecting with USB cable, you are prompted, initially to install drivers.  This initiates the installation of the Device Manager, BlackBerry Link and BlackBerry Blend. After installing/un-installing/re-installing the software several times, checking a raft of knowledgebase articles, I still cannot get Link to recognize an attached device over USB. If I look at the device manager, I have the BlackBerry (USB Serial Bus Controllers) and Black Berry Virtual Private Network (Network Adapters) and have attempted updating the drivers for these. During software uninstallations, I have also purged directories and registry entries. I am running ESET A/V and have disabled A/V and Firewall during software installs. I have tried connecting with the Leap in various states (Airplane Mode, with WiFi on, With WiFi/Mobile Network on). In every case, the device asks to Install Drivers, etc. and is not visible in the BlackBerry Device Manager.

    try copying the installation files to a desktop folder and installing from the folder.
    if that fails, download the installation files,

  • Unable to install Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64

    Hi guys,
    I have a Dell all in one 2310 and Dell had came out to replace the HDD as it was faulty, now when I try to install Windows 7 Pro SP1 onto the unit it comes up with "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computers hardware may not support booting
    to this disk. Ensure that the disks controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu.
    I have checked in the BIOS and the settings seem ok as in the SATA drives are enabled and on AHCI..
    When using diskpart to list the volumes it also cannot see the drive,
    HELP!!

    As Rick Dee says, the issue is with the hardware and not related to Windows. Moreover, SATA is in AHCI mode, so more information is needed. It's better to contact Dell technical support, as said by Rick Dee, so that it'll be solved as soon as possible.
    The new hard drive may also be replaced, if the situation worsens. Additionally, if the PC is under warranty, Dell technician will assist you in installation of Windows.

    I have created a Debug Level Support Log and can make the four files created today available as a ZIP ... with a little guidance from a knowledgeable source as to how sensitive the info contained therein may or may not be in terms of just posting it here publicly.
    FYI - I tried uninstalling everything BB-related in DevMgmt.msc and restarting the computer, however, under:
    'Universal Serial Bus controllers' there is an instance of a
    'USB Mass Storage Device' - Properties: 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)'
    that will not resolve by any conventional 'Update Driver' means.
    Something weird is BB Desktop Software 7.1.0.41 reports no Installed BB Device Software(?)
    I didn't change anything locally ... I'm just wondering if TELUS Mobility pushed some kind of an update on me that has screwed things up.
    Thanks for any help offered ... FFF

    Thank you curve8530curve8330 for stepping up and helping me out ...
    I think I'll try re-installing the BB Desktop Software 7.1.0.41 ... the ' ... no  BB Device Software installed ... ' GUI message has me concerned that there has been a Registry disconnect somehow involving the USB driver software registered with BB D. S. 7 ... this would indeed be a Windows 7 problem ... I'll update the thread and give you credit for pointing me in this direction ... if it works.
    However, to be clear, I am connecting my 9630 using a USB interface cable connected to a USB 2.0 port on the Win 7 system ... I am not removing the 8GB MicroSDHC card from the phone and then utilizing a MicroSD to SD adapter or SD port ... whatsoever.
    And , as for connecting via another computer, now that I have thought about this some more, that may have been what precipitated the problem in the first place ... I had experimentally tried re-connecting the 9630 to an XP Pro SP3 32-bit notebook loaded with BB D. M. 5.0.1.28 ... (after never having done so again since the Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit / BB D. S. 7.1.0.41 system came into use).  I don't see, off-hand, how that could have caused this issue, however, the coincidence is too large to ignore.

  • Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  How can I find it?

    Need a driver for Acrobat Distiller 5.0.0.0 that will work on Win 7 Pro SP1 64-bit.  Where can I find it, and what file is it?  (Yes, it's an old Distiller that came with Acrobat 5.  So shoot me.  But I do need the driver.)
    Win 7 prompted me for an *.inf file.  Any idea?
    If I find the original Acrobat 5 CD, which .inf would it be?
    (Hey, since I'm asking, also a driver that will work on Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit.)
    Thanks.

    There is no .inf file on the Acrobat 5 CD that you can use to create a “driver.” If Distiller 5 even installs and runs on Windows 7 x64, the plumbing that came with Acrobat 5 to automatically feed PostScript files created by the PostScript driver to Distiller simply won't work with modern versions of Windows or any 64-bit version of Windows.
    FWIW, Acrobat 5 is five full versions back from the current version. And no, we won't shoot you; you are effectively doing that to yourself!  Your time must be worth something?!?!

  • Only seeing 2 GB memory (Windows XP Pro SP2, 32 bit)

    I have 4 GB installed on my Mac Pro (early 2008). It's running Windows XP Pro SP2, 32 bit). The System Information says I only have 1.99 GB of RAM.
    I understand that 32-bit Windows can only see up to 3 GB of RAM. But I'm only seeing 2 GB. (For example, I have a MacBook Pro running 32-bit XP and it sees 3 GB).
    In Mac OS X, I see all 4 GB, so the RAM is probably seated properly and fully functional.
    Any help? I saw another thread about the same problem, but that was Vista.

    Hello Hatter,
    Long time no chat
    Do you have any info. on how Windows 7 will behave in the Mac Pro scenario?
    My MacPro has 12 GB RAM crammed into it, I'm running XP-Pro 32 bt SP3 - and I too see only 1.99GB RAM in my XP environment. I have no troubles at all seeing all 12GBs in Leopard 10.5.6. I gave up on VMware Fusion after realizing it completely ignored my QuadroFX4500 graphics card.
    Now I'm running in pure BootCamp for any/all of my XP needs - which is only to run SolidWorks on my Mac. (SW's tech supp doesn't like me very much - I think they've flagged my account as "one of those Mac freaks" - I digress...)
    I'm hopeful Windows7 64bit will be fine and thus will allow SW to see more of the RAM my beast contains within.
    Thanks in advance for any thoughts you care to share.
    Peace,

  • Installing DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit does nothing

    Hi All,
    Has anyone been able to install DSEE 7 on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 64-bit? Is it supported?
    I followed the instructions and when run the command (as the Administrator) below nothing happen, it simply return an empty command prompt. Ms VC 2008 Redistributables (the one that come with the archive) is installed.
    dsccsetup.exe war-file-create
    dsccsetp.exe ads-create
    When run the same command using the same archive on Windows 7 64-bit it does prompt for further input or report error.
    Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

    Windows 2008 R2 is not listed as a supported OS in the release notes.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19424-01/820-4805/820-4805.pdf
    It lists:
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
    Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition for x86 and x64 Service Pack 1
    If you are able to go to the next version, it is listed as supported in the release notes for ODSEE 11g:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/downloads/odsee-11gr1certmatrix-161592.xls
    I have not tried 11g on 2008 R2 myself, but if it is in the certification matrix, it should work.
    Hope that helps,

  • Turbo boost problem for DV6-2170ee with Windows 7 Proffessional SP1 32 bit

    hello every body,
    For:-
    HP DV6-2170ee with I7 720 qm processor
    System: Windows 7 Professional SP1 32 bit
    I have a strange problem, while i am working on battery processor can boost up to 2.6 but when i connect it to the Ac adpater charger, no boost is there?!!!!
    Checked through internet and did the following:-
    1-update the bios.
    2-check power option and use the same settings as in battery mode.
    3-observe processor temperature through CPUID HWmonitor, it's almost 65 lower than 67 in the battery case.
    4-searched allover the whole internet google .. yahooo ...
    5-Each time i try to install the SP50038 which is the driver for the inter turbo boost, it gives an error message "your pc doesn't meet the minimum requirement"
    TIll the moment no solution, could you please help me ?
    Thank you for your time ans i hope to receive solutions soon ..
    Thanks in advance ;-)
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi,
    To answer your last question first, the Turbo Boost Technology Driver is only intended for processors with an integrated GPU - the i7-720QM does not have this.
    More difficult is why you observe no Turbo Boost on AC Power.
    Try the following.
    Shut down the notebook.  Tap away at f10 as soon as you start the notebook to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
    When windows has reloaded, download and install the Turbo Boost Technology Monitor from Intel on the following link and see what this shows.

  • Windows 7 Pro SP1 ships with IE11. I need IE8 that used to run on Win7 - what choices do I have?

    Hi all,
    The reason for this post is our need for IE8 for compliance with company requirements (web apps of a big and cumbersome company that will only run on IE8).
    We received a non hand manageable number of brand new dell aio 9020 machines with Win7 Pro SP1 and need to downgrade to IE8.
    The official microsoft download site features IE8 for Vista, Server 2008, XP and not for Win 7. None works on Win 7.
    I would like an official IE8 setup that runs on Win7 as it used to
    in the initial versions for sure. Other requirement is that it should be in italian localization, but though important I consider it secondary.
    The expensive solutions are to reinstall machines with Win7 off an old version of Win 7 (where to find old Win7 setup disc, how to use current license shipped with the PC's?)
    A creative idea I had was to try to extract IE8 form "Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image" by pulling any dependency / dll ecc but I assume the result might not work. How, if viable is yet a question and it would only be in english.
    I am here asking anyone or better official MS people, what solutions there are.
    The end result must be an actual IE8 running.
    Grateful for help - even pointing to another section or place to ask for this kind of support,
    GG
    PS happy new year!

    Hi all,
    I found a solution that I will share in case someone else is seeking this answer.
    I did not try the solution provided here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2579295
    I instead disabled the windows functionality (not sure wether necessary, will test and edit this)
    Dism /online /disable-feature /FeatureName:"Internet-Explorer-Optional-amd64"
    ;FYI dism /online /get-features - for a list of windows features to enable or disable
    Probably unnecessary to disable anyway but worth sharing dism for other potentially interested users.
    Then I uninstalled updates of IE and from IE11 I found IE8 (the base of Win7)
    ; FYI dism /online /get-packages /format:table > updates.txt - then read IE related and uninstall as follows
    DISM.exe /Online /Remove-Package /PackageName:Microsoft-Windows-IE-Hyphenation-Parent-Package-English~31bf3856ad364e35~~~11.2.9412.0 /quiet /norestart

  • Windows XP Pro SP1 Won't Install - Yes It Can Workaround : )

    Just posting this as a help for others...
    I'm doing this to get Windows XP Professional onto a 2006 MacBookPro. I've already swapped in a 320GB hard-drive and partitioned it with BootCamp assistant. You need to be connected to power and have a USB keyboard handy. I used an aluminium mac keyboard with mighty-mouse attached directly to it.
    So, following the Apple instructions to partition the hard-disk and install, everything went more or less okay. However once set-up and with XP running, the whole seamless process grinds to a halt because the SP1 version of XP can't 'see' the optical drive and other mac internals. To get around this you need to do a little bit more work but I can confirm I do now have XP working fine on my machine.
    So here's how the workaround went for me:
    1. Follow the apple Boot Camp Installation & Setup Guide instructions until you get to Step 3 on page 12. At this point you probably get stuck because Windows can't 'see' the DVD, it won't auto-run and you can't navigate to it in MyComputer.
    2. Eject the XP disk, exit windows and re-start back in OSX. In Safari go to the MS Downloads Centre and download "Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professional & Developers" to your downloads folder.
    3. Move the WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe file you get to MyDocuments in your Administrator area on the BootCamp partition.
    4. Navigate to: www.windowsreference.com/general/error-there-is-not-enough-disk-space-when-inst alling-sp3/ and print off these instructions.
    4. Restart in XP and follow the tweak detailed above. This will stop your installation failing due to a false out of space warning. (On the MBP I needed to connect the USB and keyboard-connected mouse in order to get it to detect a right-click).
    5. Then run the .exe file transferred from Safari earlier. Everything should update to SP2 (not SP3 as the update file suggests).
    6. Shutdown and restart again in Windows. When it restarts just let it do its thing and don't sign up to any security updates or join any networks or anything - you do all this later. (During my install the machine got hung-up whilst shutting down - I just forced power off by holding down the power button and it restarted fine).
    7. Log on as administrator and insert the Leopard installation disk. Carry on from where you left off the BootCamp Installation instructions. Ignore the annoying pops and ding-dong noises and go make yourself a cup of tea until its finished.
    8. When you come back there may be a couple of 'wizard' windows holding up the final bit. Click continue here and should all finish tidily. Restart when you're ready.
    I'm not an IT guy so please don't ask me techie stuff. I just got lucky and got this working so am posting my experience. If it's helpful for you please just go do something nice for someone when you perhaps might not otherwise have done. I believe what goes around comes around. : )

    Since your Powerbook connects flawlessly to the Airport Express, I too would assume you have a marginally defective wireless interface in your PC. See if you are allowed to buy a replacement wireless card, with the option to replace it if that fails to solve your problem.

  • Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 wont install Internet Explorer 10

    Hey all,
    Having an issue on my clients machine and I have yet to figure it out. The machine is a Dell Latitude E6330 running a 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 install. Currently the machine has Internet Explorer 9 on it which is unacceptable due to compatibility
    with a client website he uses.
    Every single time Windows Updates are ran everything will update and install correctly except for
    KB2830477 and Internet Explorer 10 giving me Error Codes
    800736B3 and 9C59.
    I have attempted installing these two updates manually by downloading them from Microsoft website and installing them in different orders. KB2830477 says that it's not compatible with my system and IE 10 simply fails to install.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I've hit a wall here.

    Method 1:The System File Checker tool
    To determine whether the issue that you are experiencing is caused by one or more system files that are used by Windows Vista, run the System File Checker tool. The System File Checker tool scans system files and replaces incorrect versions of the
    system files by using the correct versions.
    To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
    1.    Click
    Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
    2.    Right-click
    cmd in the Programs list, and then click Run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click
    Continue
    3.    At the command prompt, the following line, and then press ENTER:
    sfc /scannow
    For more information visit the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936212
    Now you can try to perform the Windows update and check if the issue persists.
    Method  2:
    System resources, such as file data, registry data, and even in-memory data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifetime of the operating system. These inconsistencies might be caused by various hardware failures or might be caused by software
    issues. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows servicing store, and they can cause software updates not to work. The System Update Readiness Tool tries to resolve these inconsistencies.
    After you download the System Update Readiness Tool, it runs a onetime scan for inconsistencies that might prevent future servicing operations. This scan typically takes less than 15 minutes to run. However, the tool might take significantly longer
    on some computers. The Windows Update progress bar is not updated during the scan, and progress seems to stop at 60% complete for some time. This behavior is expected. The scan is still running and you should not cancel the update.
    For more information and to download the “System update readiness tool” visit the following link:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821
    Method  3: You may also try to perform a “Clean boot” and check if the issue persists.

    Disable all.
    Note Following this step lets Microsoft services continue to run. These services include Networking, Plug and Play, Event Logging, Error Reporting, and other services. If you disable these services, you may permanently delete all restore points.
    Do not do this if you want to use the System Restore utility together with existing restore points.
    e.    Click OK, and then click
    Restart.
    Note: Reset the computer to start as usual
    After you have finished troubleshooting, follow these steps to reset the computer to start as usual:

  • Desktop Windows XP Pro/SP1 to HP Laptop Windows 7 problems

    My Dell desktop running Windows XP Pro died. Loaded iTunes libraries on discs from old drive (still have old drive w/info intact). Downloaded new iTunes onto new HP dv7 laptop and then loaded libraries from discs into iTunes. Got all sorts of error messages (-2096), a problem with Quicktime, told me to uninstall iTunes (did that and downloaded again several times, compatibility issues, couldn't find original files (I've got the CD's), etc. It did seem to recognize my 1GB shuffle and started to pull some purchased songs off of it, but not my 20GB iPod. It already had me reset my other 2GB shuffle and I lost everything. Anyone have experience getting Windows XP libraries into Windows 7 and getting it to recognize the older iPods?

    Crikey. Are you still getting the compatibility mode errors, Fairway? If so, is that a 64-bit version of Windows 7 or a 32-bit version of Windows 7?
