HP Probook 4320S Windows XP SSD Support?

Hi Guys
I've got a HP Probook 4320S running Windows XP Pro SP3, and I'm considering upgrading the hard drive from a traditional HDD to a SSD. I was wondering my HP Probook 4320S would support a SSD drive and would Windows XP even recognise it?
Any advice or help would be most appreciated.

You're very welcome.
You should be fine then.
If you have a HP XP recovery disk, that indeed should have the applicable sata ahci drivers included.

Hi,
Yes, you can use SSD for your laptops. Many of them around now and in theory all of them should work but my suggestion please try Crucial, SanDisk, Samsung. I don't know why I can't use Intel and Kingston from many tries.

BIOS Recovery [HP ProBook 4320s]

Hello!
I have a HP ProBook 4320s.
This computer has had issues with the fan, at some point it would just go mad and then shut itself down (even when only watching normal jpgs).
I decided to flash the BIOS and see if that helped, but during the flash process the fan went mad and turned the computer off, which resulted in a faulty flash.
Now I can't boot the computer, it wont even go to POST (as far as I can notice), the screen is black and fan is going at high speed.
I have read around a bit, but I haven't found any solution so far.
Wondering if you guys could help out.
For the info, it's Windows 7 x32 and I used this file to flash the BIOS:

Thanks in advance!

Your notebook is an Enterprise/Business model. I would recommend posting this in the HP Enterprise Support Forums for better coverage, as this is the consumer support forums.

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Hi,
First I assume there is a bluetooth module inside your computer.
If so please test to reinstall its driver. To get a driver for the device, you need to know the brand and model of your computer or your motherboard.
Generally computer manufacturers will provide all drivers for their computers on their website. Search with your computer model on manufacturer's website could help you get a proper driver. If failed, search your motherboard from its manufacturer instead
will also help.
After that, uninstall your bluetooth module from Device Manager and install the driver you just downloaded, reboot to see the result.
Please remember to mark the replies as answers if they help and un-mark them if they provide no help. If you have feedback for TechNet Support, contact [email protected]

FN keys not working Hp probook 4320s

Hello
I am having a problem with the FN keys on a HP Probook 4320s and using openbox.
When I tried an ubuntu live cd the brightness, volume etc, worked just fine.
Using xev I got this output while hitting the keys
KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x1800001,
root 0x152, subw 0x0, time 1722303, (-375,141), root:(717,436),
state 0x0, keycode 233 (keysym 0x1008ff02, XF86MonBrightnessUp), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
Also when I echo a value in /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness the brightness changes but still fn keys not working.
Can anyone help me with this?.

I am having a problem with the FN keys on a HP Probook 4320s and using openbox.
When I tried an ubuntu live cd the brightness, volume etc, worked just fine.
Openbox is a window manager, not an environment like Gnome. It manages windows, not your screen brightness and wireless settings.
I can reverse the action in ubuntu and see what is wrong in arch.
Nothing is wrong. And your keys work fine, I know because mine do.
Is there a way to see what is called when pressing the keys in ubuntu?
They developed their own notifications that handle this. You can just call xbacklight and amixer for a start from xbindkeys.
For volume and brightness an applet is nicer to get the visal cue, you can do that with a little bash and Zenity easily, or code your own in GTK (I used pygtk for mine).

Disabling the F1 Windows Help and Support key

Hello! I see there's lots of people that have been having this problem, but I felt I was in a unique (HA) position in that I have a Windows 8 OS, so the problem can't be solved following the steps to a Windows 7 solution. I've tried several things.
First off, background; I have an HP 2000 laptop running Windows 8. I have wanted to use the function keys in a video game, but they were set as macromedia function priority. I went into BIOS and switched the action keys to DISABLED so that I could use FN+F
Key in order to use the macromedia, and instead they revert to normal function. This is fine. BUT: It only worked for F2-F12. The F1 key is still mapped to open Windows Help and Support. I've tried to rename the helppane.exe (I am admin but only "Trusted
Installer" can modify the file), and ran into problems. SO I tried to follow the steps to use regedit to block the helppane.exe, but the .exe isn't located where it is on a Windows 7 machine.
I have been working to try to find a solution to this problem for going on hours now, with no recourse. ANY solutions would be very welcome. Thank you.

You sure you already save after changing setting in BIOS
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02035108&cc=id&dlc=en&lc=en
If yes, find your model in HP site and find the update BIOS, update your BIOS, and try again
since this PC OEM. HP will provide better answer for you, and if you keyboard also comes with extra software I suggest to uninstall it first to check

Windows Help and Support screen glitch? And keyboard malfunction! Help!

I have 3 problems. At the log in screen of my hp stream notebook 11, I wasn't able to complete my password due to a malfunction in one of the keyboard keys. I shut down the computer and came back later to try again. It worked but when I logged in, the Windows Help and Support screen kept repeatedly popping up even when x'd out. I would let it repeatedly pop up (like a glitch) and I would x it out and it would go away. Also as I was typing in anything (wordpad, internet, search), every other key letters and numbers were acting as shortcuts to different screens such as apps, the log in screen, control panel etc. then the Windows Help and Support screen would pop back up again as a glitch. Please help!

Hi @aaliyah22
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
You mention three different issues, and I am happy to assist with this. Obviously we need to start with the keyboard. As it is just the one key you describe as a problem, I would try a cleaning. You could see if some compressed air helps first as some debris may have gotten into it. Also you can look at these two pages and see if anything helps.
Notebook Keyboard Troubleshooting (Windows 8)
Cleaning your Notebook PC
The other two problems sound a lot like something like a software or possibly a malware related issue, but you can start with trying a system restore to a point before the problem began and see if that helps.Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)

Windows Help and Support Message box keeps popping up

I am not really sure what happened but my keyboard stopped working. It kept typing out random letters and not the ones I typed. At the same this "Windows Help and Support" box started popping up. So, I can't use my keyboard but the pop up window keeps interuping Netflix and vidoes and I can't watch them and Word documents. Pretty much anything I do gets interupted by this box and stops whatever I am trying to which is trying to build a website at the moment.
I uninstalled the support. It no longer appears in my program list but the box still keeping popping up and stopping everything I am doing.
What I am suppose to do? It doesn't say its the HP Support it says "Windows Help and Support" at the top of the box.
I have tried everything.

Hey @c4yp ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the keyboard on your notebook is not working properly, and the Windows Help and Support window keeps opening.
This popup is typically caused by a spyware or malware infection. Please follow the steps below and let me know if it helps.
Perform a clean boot. See here for a guide to to this: How to perform a clean boot in Windows
Run Malwarebytes Free scan.
Run AdwCleaner scan.

2) Delete All partition and re-create
3) Re-install windows 7
Does anyone know how I can stop this happening.

Hello SaravSB, welcome to teh HP Forums.
I see that you're having an issue where the Windows help and support is popping up. I will try to help you with this.
I've looked into this for you, it seems this was an issue from back when Windows 7 launched. Any "solutions" also seemed to vary user to user. You may want to try contacting Microsoft for support on this. I was able to find a couple of posts off the answers.microsoft.com forums.
"SuperJbye replied on July 14, 2013
Hello
I found a simple yet effective solution for this problem, my friend had the same issue so instinctively as a technician, I suspect this was a malware of somekind so I re-formatted and installed Win7 funny it's still there, so I did a Hard disk wipe using Dalvik's and re-partitioned and formatted again, to my surprise it still have the same problem.
So I ask Mr. Goo' old Mr. Google for answer, but I've found more complications, sorry for the story, so without further a do, the solution.
Boot to safe mode. (may also work in "normal mode")
Go to Task Manager>
Click the Services Tab>
Right click "HelpPane.exe" or Help and support service>
Select Properties>
Click the Security tab>
Click the Advanced tab (for permissions options)
Then select the "permissions entries" one at a time>
Click Change Permissions>
Then click Edit>
CLEAR ALL THE CHECK BOX FOR ALL ENTRIES
This should prevent access to the HelpPane.exe to all users/programs.
This resolved my friends Windows 7 "Help and Support thingy" issue, hope it does yours too.
Message me for questions and/or clarifications/corrections.
Thank you"

To fix the problem of the help pane appearing everytime you start windows do the following:
1. Run 'msconfig'
2. Go to the 'Startup' tab
3. One of your 'Startup items' is causing the pane to appear and you are going to have to find out which one it is! Untick ALL the items and reboot. The help pane will not appear harrah! Rather than adding the Startup Items back in one at a time and rebooting a hundred times, tick half the programs back in and reboot. You can find the culprit in about 5 reboots if you do it logically and add/remove half/quarter etc at a time.
4. Finally you will be left with all your Startup items ticked and the guilty program unticked (and that annoying help pane will no longer be appearing)
5. Now delete the guilty Startup Item from the registry (which will also remove it from the msconfig startup tab.
6. Open 'regedit'
7. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MSConfig\startupreg and delete the guilty program folder. BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST!
8. You're welcome."
Both of those, as well as other steps are located in this thread: Windows 7 "Help and Support" keeps popping up.
You could try those suggestions and even give that thread a read over, other wise the best option would be contacting Microsoft as stated above.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 supports Windows 8.1 and can be used with that version. The Mid 2011 iMac is compatible with Windows 8, so you should not have any problem by installing Windows 8.

Windows Azure Platform Support: "Prompted for "Windows Activation" when logging onto a Windows Azure Role Instance using RDP"

Symptom
When a user interactively logs (using RDP client) on to a Windows Azure Role Instance running Windows Azure Guest OS 1.11, they see a “Windows Activation” dialog box.
Action
The user can ignore this dialog box by simply clicking either “Cancel” or “Activate Later” button on the “Windows Activation” dialog box. This pop-up window is just an UI issue in Guest OS 1.11 and no OS functionality
issue. All Role instances running any version of Windows Azure Guest OS has valid volume licensing key and are already activated. There is no need to provide any activation key to validate the OS.
Please don’t try to activate Windows Azure Guest OS using your Windows Server OS Key, this will cause unexpected downtime and will require a reboot. Activating Windows Azure Guest OS is not a supported scenario.
Workaround
Use the next available OS or any previous version of OS (e.g., 1.10) to work around this issue.
Other forum references:
RDP on Webrole with newest guestOS: why is it asking for windows activation

this is still an issue and the work around did not work

Windows 7 Starter supporting 2GB memory?

I upgraded my Ideapad s10-3, (which I just bought a few weeks ago) with a 2 GB memory module. I wonder if Windows 7 Starter supports 2GB memory. In the manuals it it is said, w7 Starter does not support 2GB. However, when I start up the Task Manager it shows memory usage of over 1GB, depending on how many applications I have started. How can I check it. Any help is appreciated.

Video does not play: "Either windows doesn't support the item's file format......"

Error message
"Either windows doesn't support the item's file format or the content doesn't match the extension"
I have both a Yoga and a Thinkpad 2. The Yoga is running Win 8 and the Thinkpad 2 has 8.1 Preview.
I have copied multiple video files which are in either .avi or .mp4 containers.
Some will play and some will not. I have installed all sorts of codec packages and players and the problem is the same. I though it might be a container problem so I tried to convert the file and the converter I used did not work.
Searched the Internet and nothing really useful was found.
Then I discovered a common thread. In the files that played, the codec information displayed when checking in properties and the ones that did not play, did not have the information.
I have a video file on a USB flash drive and checked the properties and the information was there and I could play it from the flash drive. I copied it to my desktop and the file would not play. In checking, the codec information was not present.
There seems to be an error in copying files where the requisite codec information is not being transferred.
I have tried this multiple times and multiple permutations of transferring. Sometimes it will play from the desktop and will not play after transfer to the microSD card.
Each time when it plays, the information is there and each time it does not play, the information is not there.

Is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

is windows 8 already supported in OSX lion bootcamp?

No. But that only means it is a little harder and a few issues to work around. No one knows when but it could happen when 8 is posted to buy 10/25/2012, or after. And it may be that they somehow figure whether to provide for Lion or only ML.
Odd concept as to what Macs support Windows 8 but are not supported by 10.8.
