HP Pavilion dv7-6c09tx windows 8.1 pro issues

Hello!
I've just decided to upgrade my HP Pavilion dv7-6c09tx Entertainment Notebook PC to Win 8.1 pro.. Bit of an effort to say the least!
Installed all drivers here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4132&lc=en&cc=au&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=5219...
..but the gfx wont install giving error this computer does not meet min requirements.  All seems to work ok thpough until I try getting widi to work.  nightmare!  Can HP support pls provide correct config to use ie. supported driver ver for widi to work?  the widi app says some xomponents may be missing after using the recommended widi update app for win 8.  Now I can uninstall- it gives a msi error...
thanks

Hi @trevevs 
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help.
As you stated there is not any updated drivers for Windows 8.1 on the driver page for your notebook only for Windows 8.
This tells me that it is unsupported on your notebook as it has not been tested by HP.  This does not mean it will not work.
Downloading or Updating Software and Drivers for HP Computers
I grasp that all is working well except for the WiDi.  Have you done all your Windows updates?
Windows 8.1 has WiDi built into the Operating System.

  • Why are my 2 W S X keys only working intermittently on my HP Pavilion DV7 running windows 7?

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a bit of trouble with my 2 W S X keys. They only seem to work when they want to and when one stops working, the other stop working too.
    The laptop in question is a HP Pavilion dv7 running windows 7 64bit. I can't think of any changes that have occured before the change but was working fine this time last week. Not dropped it or anything.
    A note i saw elsewhere said to check if the keys work works in the BIOS. I opened the BIOS and tried the keys in there upon startup. Didn't work. Logged in left it for a bit and then as if by magic it was then working again (enough so to enable me to write this).
    Any ideas what this could be?
    Thanks in advance of any help,
    Adam

    This is definitely from malware - it happened to me last night and I checked online and found 2 many guesses. I managed to resolve it moments ago - and I'm typing with the same computer / keyboard.  It is hard to resolve but here is the link to the virus description (which does not mention the specific symptom of losing the 2 W S X keys). I lost the function immediately, and suspected malware right away: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/threat/encyclopedia/entry.aspx?name=TrojanDownloader%3aJava...
    So this is how I solved it: I had Microsoft Security Essentials and it was up-to-date. However, it does not find it by itself. Spybot finds something but is unable to fix it - even upon a reboot. I installed Trend free atHome(?) virus scan - it does not find it. I installed AVG full Internet Protection - it does not find it. However, while AVG was running (a few hours) Security Essential found it - just like that! So, it appears that when the malware was adjusting itself to avoid being detected, that it was discovered by MS Security Essentials. I fixed it while AVG was running, and tested my keyboard right away. At first the x worked, then the other keys.
    This is malware - not hardware, so please stop telling people to clean or replace their keyboards.

  • HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Windows 7 x4 Can't Find Hard Drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx. I am putting in a new hard drive. I can't get Windows 7 x64 to recognize it during the install. I have tried the Intel Chipset drivers from the HP download site for my laptop. I have also tried the x64 drivers from the Intel site: http://downloadmirror.intel.com/24293/a08/f6flpy-x64.zip.
    I tried it with the original hard drive in and Windows 7 won't recognize it either.
    Any ideas on how to get Windows 7 to recognize the drive?

    Hi, Brian:
    See if this works (I can't open the link you posted, so I don't know if that file contains the sata drivers for the chipset in your notebook.  I know that this one does...
    Download the drivers from this link below (first or second file listed -- 32 or 64 bit as applicable).
    https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?​agr=Y&ProdId=2101&DwnldID=23060&keyword=Intel+Rap...
    Extract (copy) the files onto a usb flash drive without any folders.
    With the flash drive and W7 installation media plugged into the machine, boot from the W7 installation media.
    After you select the install now option, select the Drive Options - Advanced menu, then select the Load Driver option.
    You should now see the storage driver files listed.
    If you check the box, it will only include the compatible driver.
    Follow the prompts and hopefully, W7 will install.

  • Pavilion dv7 4050ed - Windows Update Problems After First Installation

    I have only just today received my brand new HP Pavilion dv7 4050ed and commenced installation straight away.  There were no problems in the initial installation and I booted Windows for the first time successfully and let it do its auto installs for things like Java and Adobe Reader.  I then moved to update and patch the laptop with Windows Update but immediately noticed that something was wrong.  Upon opening Windows Update I was met with a white cross in a red shield to signify an error.  When I prompted it to "Check for Updates" I was met with an error message stating, "Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running.  You may need to restart your computer."  I get the same error message when I try to run Windows Live Messenger.
    After multiple restarts and checking in the control panel that the update service was allowed and working, the error message still appears whenever I try to update or patch my machine.  How can this kind of thing happen to a brand new machine that I've had for less than a day and has only had its basic settings chosen?  It simply will not update, or even recognize that the update service is available.  The internet is fully functional so it isn't any kind of connection problem.
    Has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem could be?
    I probably should just add that the laptop is a Dutch purchase with a bilingual setup.  I chose the English setup option but was advised to include this information in case it could in any way affect the update system.

    HP support provided me with the following link:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02219204&cc=nl&lc=en&dlc=en&product=4213233
    On this page there's a download called sp47845. After installing this, everything was working again.

  • HP Pavilion dv7 notebook, Windows 7: How do I disable an audio jack?

    My Pavilion dv7 notebook includes two audio jacks for headphones on its right side (my left when facing it.) Long story short, a hefty piece of an iPod headphone has dislodged and been stuck inside one of these two jacks; there's no way I'd be able to remove it without taking apart the notebook. I can still receive audio via headphones when I plug headphones into the other jack, but I can no longer receive audio from the internal speakers. 
    I'd like to diasble both headphone jacks manually when I'd like to hear the speakers --  but I can't figure out how. When I access my 'Speakers and Headphones Properties' (IDT High Definition Audio Codec, through Sounds --> Playback Devices) and attempt to disable the device, all sound is disabled. There appears to be no way to selectively disable either just the speakers or just the headphones. 
    Any ideas? 

    ...I'm still curious as to whether I can receive any assistance regarding this issue.

  • HP Pavilion DV7-6190ED Windows 7 64-Bit Recovery not working

    Hello,
    I just bought a new (used as showmodel) laptop at a local store.
    But I'm having a problem with the recovery now.
    What happened:
    When I first booted my laptop and after it started windows, I saw some flickering pixels on the screen. I did some research on that and looked at the computer, and found out that the drivers were conflicting with eachother. After that problem I tried a factory restore and removing and installing some drivers, this didn't work. After that I tried restoring with a minimalistic image (sorry if I misspelled), but when the restoring was complete it said that the restoring wasn't finished. My problem now is that it won't boot Windows anymore, but directly boots into recovery manager. I'm sure that the recovery partition exists and I don't have a recovery DVD.
    I would be happy if someone is able to help me.

    Hi:
    From what you wrote it appears you will either have to purchase a recovery DVD set by reading the info at the link below.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bph07143&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    Or....make your own plain Windows 7 installation disk by following the instructions below (or do it temporarily until your recovery disks arrive).
    If you can read the 25 character Microsoft windows 7 product key, you can download plain Windows 7 ISO files to burn to a DVD for the version of windows that came installed on your PC, and that is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC's case.
    Burn the ISO using the Burn ISO option on your DVD burning program and burn at the slowest possible speed your program will allow. This will create a bootable DVD.
    Use the 25 character product key on the PC to activate the installation.
    The key will activate either a 32 or 64 bit installation.
    Then go to the PC's support and driver page to install the drivers you need.
    Link to the W7 ISO file downloads is below.

  • HP pavilion dv7 6165us windows 7 64 bit sound glitch 3-5 times an hour

    i have a dv7 6165us and i have the sound glitch at least 3 times an hour it glitches for 2 seconds and interupts music video and games lagging.Ive talked to hp and ive done everything possible listed.
    DRIVERS
    REINSTALL SYSYTEM
    TURN OFF DRIVEGUARD
    TEST ISSUE WITH AC ADAPTER UNPLUGGED
    UPDATE BIOS
    HARD RESET SYSTEM
    Ive tried everything and that annoying little glitch or pop or whatever is still there.the system is for my son for college so i dont have time to send it back to HP.does anyone and or HP have any suggestions.
    By the way HP you are very quiet on these forums rarely interjecting with support.Whats the problem if youve solved this problem for only one person your system of support should be set up to pass these fixes on to other customers.Im not holding my breath for an answer but who knows maybe theres a HP tech who takes pride in there work thatll see this.
    And if it is a known motherboard issue there should have been a recall and i never should have been sold a faulty machine.

    You're very welcome.
    You do have a point, and I agree wholeheartedly.
    I'm sure folks have brought this up in the past, but I don't know why HP doesn't provide some official presence on these forums.
    Sometimes some of the HP employee forum members will do things like get driver pages added for models with no support pages, but I have rarely if ever, seen where an HP volunteer forum member takes a techinical issue and "runs it up the flagpole," as it were.
    Have you tried this driver (6.10.6365.0 (11 Nov 2011)? 
    It's a newer version of the one on your notebook's support and driver page.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
    I hope you can get the issue sorted out.

  • HP Pavilion DV7 1183cl, Windows 7 x32, Sound only playing out of subwoofer

    Yesterday, Windows told me I needed to install some critical updates. I installed them and restarted. When I restarted, I noticed that the mute button on my touchbar was red and wouldn't turn back to the on color.
    I logged into Windows and tried playing some Youtube videos and stuff to see if the sound was working. It turns out it was, but the sound was only coming out of the subwoofer on the bottom of the laptop and sounded TERRIBLE. When I plug in my headphones it sounds fine except the volume doesn't go as loud as it did before. Pressing the mute button does mute the sound, but it still stays red no matter what.
    So I tried resotring my system back to a point when the speakers were working to see if it was a hardware problem, and it turns out it's not. When I restore to an earlier point, the speakers work fine. The problem, however, is for some stupid reason I can't login at the restore point. I just know the speakers work because the error sound comes out of the Altec Lansings on the front, and the mute button actually changes colors. 
    I've spent the last 3 hours trying everything I can think of. I've downloaded new IDT High Def Audio Drivers, I've uninstilled them in hardware manager and let it reinstall itself, messed with every setting I can think of in Control Panel and I've got nothing so far.
    This is very frustraing and I would appreciate any help. Thanks. 

    I see you mentioned updating the audio drivers. Have you tried updating the BIOS and then running the windows updates? I would advise that you keep the BIOS updated as well as the device drivers. you can get more trouble shooting tip by following this link....

  • Hp Pavilion dv7- Recover Windows 7 without the disk

    I reinstalled windows 7 home premium on my machine, using the same serial number as the one that came with the laptop (I found the serial number by downloading some software that scanned my computer and told me what it was).
    After installing windows, it told me that it was not genuine. I imagine that it is because it wasn't a version of Windows that has all that HP software pre-loaded on it. My hard drive still has a "recovery" partition, but I have no idea what to do with that, or even if I can do anything with it anymore. 
    So how can I make my Windows 7 home premium genuine? Do I have to reinstall another version of windows 7 home premium with the HP software included? Where do I find such download? Since I don't have a recovery disk, can I use that "recovery" partition of my hard drive for something?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    This question was solved.

    Hi crabbattle,
    The key for the original version installed on your PC only works with OEM versions of Windows.  You'll need to use the key that came with the retail version of Windows you purchased, or use the recovery software on the PC.
    You can access recovery using the F11 key during boot or order discs from HP.  There's more recovery info here.

    When attempting to use Skype or other videochat programs, I receive an error messaage asking me to enable webcam/microphone.  I have gone into the control panel and checked that the integrated webcam and microphone are enabled.  Perhaps the programs/drivers behind the hardware have been removed? I am not very computer savvy, but I am sure the issue is not a virus. Any help appreiated.
