The General XP Downgrade Guide for HP notebooks is what you need to read. This well written guide has helped (at least!!) thousands of forum members downgrade their notebook successfully. There is a section that applies to your notebook.
The issue you are having probably is related to not installing the MSUAA driver before the device specific audio driver.

  • Is Firefox compatible with Window Surface Pro and Win Phone 8

    Is Firefox compatible with Window Surface Pro and Win Phone 8

    A user posted here the other day who is using a Surface Pro 2, with Windows 8.1, so that should work basically the way it works on a desktop or laptop.
    Windows Phone, I don't think so.

  • Mac mini (late 2012) Windows 8 Pro: no HDMI audio & driver error

    Bootcamp 5.0.1
    Mac mini (late 2012) server, installed boot camp on the second HD and gave entire HD to bootcamp partition.
    Installed Windows 8 Pro from USB key created during installation from iso file, activated with Microsoft. Everything went smoothly, have one issue that I want to share, to see if anyone has been able to resolve. By the way, magic track pad, as expected only have basic functions supported, left and right click, scroll with two fingers, "tap to click" and secondary click with two fingers tap.
    Only one issue so far but pretty major one. Audio through HDMI cable doesn't work, all sound plays via Mac-mini's internal speakers. Windows Device Manager shows error for "High Definition Audio Device" - The device cannot start. (Code 10).

    Well, arguably bootcamp 5.0.1 does support Widows 7 or higher, there no reference anywhere that it doesn't.
    I was able to fix issue by updating driver using intel audio driver. Everything works now...

  • Problems with  Digidesign MBOX 1 and core audio driver

    I hate to do this, but I may have to drop Pro tools because I can't run another application that has audio with the PT running as my sound card. I was on the digidesign support site and was told I might be able to run built in audio into a mixer and mix it with the MBOX outputs. There isn't an option in the sound driver drop down menu on my G5. Does anyone have any experience with MBOX 1, Pro tools and can get the built in audio to run at the same time the MBOX runs?
    Food for thought?

    I think I may have solved my problem. I recently installed Full Spectrum Warrior. I installed it to a different dri've than all of my other games. Lo and behold, no audio problems. After some further investigation, I believe that the audio problem lies in an old hard disk dri've that is in the beginning stages of failure. After I actually thought about it, my load times from this hard disk have been taking forever, but Full Spectrum Warrior loads very quickly. The dri've is going to die! But I guess it's ok, the dri've is almost 0 years old, and this is the 3rd computer its been in.
    Thanks for your help,

  • Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

    I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

    Well... it worked! :D
    I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
    DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
    Thanks a lot!

  • Motorola HS820 will not pair with my Macbook Pro and now audio is broken...

    My problem is two fold.
    First i cannot connect my Motorola HS820 Bluetooth headset to my Macbook Pro. The bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects. All of the posts i that address this are either for g4 macbooks or do not work for me...
    Second, now that i have attempted this connection i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with configuration..

    This is not related to the Intel platform (MacBook or MacBook Pro). Make sure the headset is turned on before you turn on your Mac. Then it should connect correctly.
    To change the sound outpu, please go to Mac OS X > System Preferences > Sound > Output and change it back to the internal speakers.

  • Lenovo Yoga with Windows 8 Pro, Office 2013 and Visual Studio

    For you developer types, I just wanted to post a message and let you know my experience with Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 as a development machine. I bought Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 from Bestbuy for $999.99. As expected, it came with a crap ton of bloatware installed by Lenovo.
    Here is a summary of what I did to it (I take no responsilibity for accuracy of below information. You are on your own if you decide to follow them. I am just putting this down from my memory so that I can look it up in the future if I ever need to do this again).
    INITIAL CLEANUP
    Installed Lenovo hotfix for partition cleanup/merging: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS033035
    Installed Lenovo Touchpad driver fix.
    CAUTION: I take no responsibility for below steps. I am writing them from memory and if you decide to follow them and end up making your machine unusable, you are on your own as Lenovo might not honor your warranty.
    BACK UP ENTIRE DISK (requires an empty USB flash drive for booting and another external USB drive for backup)
    Copied Drivers from D_Backup folder to the external USB hard drive (plugged into USB 3.0 port).
    Installed Paragon Backup & Recovery 2012 Free: http://www.paragon-software.com/home/br-free/
    Created Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive with default Linux recovery environment option (flash drive plugged into USB 2.0 port).
    Shutdown Lenovo Yoga.
    Plugged in the Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive (USB 2.0 port). 
    Pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS.
    In the BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    The machine booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery mode. From there, made a backup of entire disk to the external USB hard drive.
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and restarted the machine.
    Logged into the machine and verified that everything was good and checked the external USB drive to verify that the backup image was present.
    MAKE WINDOWS 8 PRO BOOT USB FLASH DRIVE (requires a second empty USB flash drive and a second computer with Windows 7. This USB Flash Drive has to be between 4GB to 32GB as Windows won't format 64GB flash drives to FAT32 mode)
    (Note: I installed Windows 8 Pro in UEFI mode. See http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/install-windows-8-usb.htm)
    You need a licensed ISO image of Windows 8 Professional Full version (not the upgrade version) from your MSDN or Technet subscription or create an ISO from the Windows 8 Pro full version DVD.
    Download Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool on the computer with windows 7.
    Plug in the second empty USB flash drive (has to be at least 4GB but less than 32GB) into the computer with Windows 7.
    Using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool and the ISO file, create the Windows 8 Pro bootable USB Flash drive.
    Create a new folder on your computer disk, for example, C:\WIN8USB.
    Copy all the files from your USB flash drive to the newly created folder (created in the previous step).
    Right click on the USB drive icon in Computer window and select “Format…” from the context menu. Make sure you select “FAT32 (Default)” in “File system” drop down menu. Click “Start” and wait till the drive gets formatted. This step is needed because NTFS is not readable by BIOS in UEFI boot mode. During formatting, MBR is preserved so the thumbdrive is still bootable.
    Copy all the files from the folder you created earlier (C:\WIN8USB, for example) to the formatted drive. Your Windows 8 installation USB drive is ready to install in UEFI mode.
    WIPE THE DISK PARTITIONS
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS, enabled Legacay mode and made Legacy high priority and saved the changes.
    Booted into Paragon Backup & Recovery boot USB flash drive again. This time, I deleted all partitions on the primary disk (Disk 0). CAUTION: This WILL wipe your hard disk and will make your machine unusable!!! 
    Shut down the machine, pressed the one key recovery button (next to power button). Went to BIOS. Turned off Legacy mode and switched back to UEFI boot mode and saved the changes and shut down the machine.
    At this point, the disk is wiped clean. All factory installed software and recovery partitions are gone!!!
    INSTALL WINDOWS 8 PRO
    Plug in the USB Flash Drive with Windows 8 Pro install files.
    Windows 8 Installer would show the unallocated disk space. I can't remember the exact details but either I had to click on Delete or New to delete and then create a new GPT partition. The entire partition was about 119GB.
    From that point, follow the Windows 8 Pro installation steps.
    After booting up into Windows 8 Pro, plug the external USB drive that had the drivers folder backed up from D_backups.
    Install all the drivers from this folder (I was able to install everything except for one Intel fast boot one because of missing partition but my Yoga still boots up just as fast).
    Go to device manager to check and everything should be good now.
    Run Windows Update.
    You should now have about 101GB free on C: drive!!
    INSTALL VISUAL STUDIO, SQL SERVER and OFFICE 2013 ON LENOVO YOGA 13
    I installed the following in that order:
    Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Developer edition (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 (I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Developer edition(I installed all components, everything!). Then I installed latest service pack.
    Microsoft Visual Studio 2012(I installed all components, everything!)
    I ran Windows update and also installed Nov 2012 updates of SQL Server Data tools.
    I then installed Office 2013 Pro Plus.
    MAKE LENOVO YOGA 13 MORE SECURE
    Go to Control Panel and enable Windows Defender (it is included by default in Windows 8 and is anti-virus and anti-malware solution)
    Enable full hard-disk encryption using BitLocker feature of Windows 8 Pro. Since Lenovo Ideapad Yoga 13 doesn't have hardware TPM, you have to enable password based option. For this, follow the steps here: http://rics.partners.org/show_article.php?id=274. 
    Basically, you go to GPEDIT.MSC and Open Computer Configuration => Administrative Templates => Windows Components => BitLocker Drive Encryption => Operating System Drives. From the right pane double-click "Require additional authentication at startup. Select Enabled radio button and check the box for "Allow BitLocker without a compatible TPM...". Click OK and close the policy editor. Then Right-click your C drive in the Computer folder, click Turn on BitLocker. Then select Enter a password instead of USB option. Then provide a strong password (make sure to write it down and put it in a SAFE place, if you lose the password, no one can boot into your hard disk). Then select Save to a file and save it to the External Drive. Select "Encrypt entire drive...", click Next. When this is done, you will get a pop-up on the lower-right a prompt to restart the computer. Restart your PC. Enter the encryption password created earlier. If you are successful in getting into Windows, you're all set.
    I also hooked up to Skydrive and used BoxCryptor to encrypt my files in cloud.
    The available free disk space should now be about 54GB.
    I verified that Lenovo Yoga 13 works like a champ with no slowdown with Visual Studio 2010, Visual Studio 2012 and SQL Server Management Studio open simultaneously and Bitlocker enabled!
    The keyboard right SHIFT key is small but other than that, it can work as a great portable development machine and Microsoft Reader is great for reading PDF eBooks.
    So if you are a Developer on Microsoft platform, go right ahead. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is great for running Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Studio 2012 (1600x900 resolution is totally usable) while on the move. Since I have only had this machine for a few days, I can't tell much about the long term reliability.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for posting this. I am in this exact situation. I purchased a yoga 13, and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. As it turns out, the Windows Phone Emulator ONLY works in a Windows 8 Pro environment. Since the Yoga doesn't have a disc drive, I shared my W7 computer's cd drive, then put in Windows 8 Pro, so that it could install onto the Yoga. Well, after the installation was done, I tried running my program again and ran into the same issue. It prompted me that my environment must be Windows 8 Pro! I thought that Windows 8 Pro already installed but, what confuses me is that I see no indication that Windows 8 Pro installed. When I go to the System Window, it reads: "Windows 8". Should it read Windows 8 Pro?
    Ultimately, I'd like to know, are you able to execute the Windows Phone Emulator? I'm not sure as to whether the Yoga has the hardware capability (needs to be SLAT enabled or something like that?), I HOPE it is able to, and judging by your post, it seems like it but I'd love to know your perspective on my approach.
    Please let me know if this makes sense, as I'm new to this kind of thing but really want to start development for Windows Phone.

  • How can I copy bookmarks from my old computer to my new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?

    Transferring bookmarks from old computer to new computer, both with Windows XP Pro?
    Thanks for your h4elp.
    Also, can I create a file of bookmarks in MS Word or Open Office so that I can save them?

    You can export your bookmarks to an HTML file on your old computer, and them import that file on your new computer. The HTML file also is your backup, and if you open it into Word, you could save it as a DOC file if you prefer.
    For more information, check out these articles:

    Note that if you are using the orange Firefox button (abbreviated menus), you can access the class menu bar with the full Bookmarks menu by tapping the Alt key or pressing F10.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • Windows 7 Pro and Enterprise and Office 2010 Not Able to re-Activate

    In September 2012, I was tasked to provide desktop support for a small <50 seat school that uses a combination of Windows 7 Enterprise and Pro as well as Office 2010 Pro Plus with Volume Licenses purchased through Dell. In May of 2013, it was discovered
    that our Microsoft Volume License agreement had lapsed and at the time we could not afford to renew it. In September we purchased a 5 seat license from JourneyEd for Windows 7 Pro and Office 2010 Pro Plus. Also in July 2013, we upgraded and consolidated our
    server setup.
    In November, we began to see notifications that our Microsoft products were becoming deactivated and needed to be reactivated. When we would try to reactivate, there would be an error message that said reactivating failed with no further message.
    I need assistance to determine what is causing our licenses to deactivate and also how to fix this issue.
    Thank you in advance for your assistance

  • Upgrading T430 preloaded with Windows 7 Pro to Windows 8 With Recovery Disks

    I just got 19 T430 laptops that we thought would have Windows 8 on them but them came with a preload of Windows 7 Pro and recovery disks for Windows 8. The recovery disks have instructions for using them to upgrade to 8, but the laptop won't boot to the cd/dvd drive. I'm not sure if there is a problem with the instructions or if the disks aren't bootable. I can see them and their contents through Windows Explorer, so I know the drive works.

    If it is like the other sets I have seen, there will be 2 "applications and drivers" disk and one operating system disk. You boot from the first "applications and drivers" disk. It will boot, and then call for the other disks when needed. If I remember right, the order is App 1, OS, App1, App2.  I suggest backing up your win7 image before installing win8.  I used windows 8 just long enough to figure out that I hate it.
