HP Sleekbook 15 - Touchpad Synaptics with Windows 10

Hello everyone! I'll try to be as brief as possible. Yesterday I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 on my Hp Pavilion Sleekbook 15; everything seems to work pretty fine, except for the touchpad Synaptics. At first Win10 start I noticed the scrolling was inverted (Mac style), and the icon of Synaptics touchpad had disappeared from the tray. Not a big issue: I go to the settings and as usual, disable the "Inverted Scrolling" and enable the icon back to the tray. It works like a charm and I think I've sorted it out. However, after rebooting the icon disappeared again from the tray and my touchpad is inverted again. For how much I try, it always comes back to defaults after rebooting. Activating/deactivating the touchpad, as well as unistalling and re-installing updated drivers didn't solve the issue. So I open regedit, to try and edit the strings manually.The "TrayIcon" string was easy to find: value changed from "0" to "1" and the icon magically appears and stays forever in the tray. The inverted axe is driving me crazy. I couldn't find any string regarding the inverted scrolling, and the only way to change it is manually at each time I restart my laptop. Can anyone help with this? I think the only ways to solve this would be either change the correspondat string in regedit (to keep it uninverted forever like with the icon in the tray) or change something else in order to make changes memorized after rebooting. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you very much!

Quick update folks. Thanks to the link I temporary solved the issue! I've downgraded my touchpad driver, from version 19 to 18. Here's the link: http://support.hp.com/ee-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-15-u300-x360-convertible-pc/7771362/model/8255118#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 Now settings remain saved after rebooting too. Thanks to all! Hopefully they'll fix it with the next update. Mike

Z580 touchpad not working properly with windows 8

Bought a z580 laptop recently and upgraded to windows 8. The vertical and horizontal scrolling features don't work with it anymore. There is also no zooming and rotating feature anymore. I downloaded the windows 8 driver from the lenovo website, but it says that I need the 64bit driver for my laptop. According to the lenovo download it was for both 32 and 64bit. How can I get the touchpad functions back?

I just purchased the 'new' Z580 with Windows 8. Lovely laptop, nightmare experience trying to get the touchpad working! After trying a few fixes, I tried to call Lenovo directly, after going through about 10 phone numbers, I finally reached Lenovo IdeaPad technical support, who told me they had no knowledge of this issue, that it must be a hardware fault (of which I was convinced it wasn't) and asked to send the machine back for a replacement. In other words, Lenovo could not be bothered to help me fix the problem, rather pass it off to the retailer to deal with. Very poor service Lenovo, and very lazy. Anyway, I managed to get the touchpad working perfectly using the solution here (thanks!), so just wanted to advise people to ignore Lenovo and follow the steps here before sending back the 'faulty'' laptop... - Plugin in an external mouse (guessing you have done this already as the touchpad doesn;t work!)- Close down all your apps- Uninstall all Lenovo mouse and Synaptics drivers (via Control Panel)
- Go to device manager (search 'device manager' in settings using bottom-right corner action)- Right-click on 'USB HID drivers' and choose 'uninstall' - the mouse will stop working (which is fine)- Press ALT-F4 to close device manager and again to restart the laptop- The default mouse driver will install automatically - which is fine- Double-click the download here from Lenovo China (www.lenovo.com.cn) and click the left icon (will appear with ??? as it is Chinese) to unzip the file - a new folder will appear with the drivers in it- Go into the Synaptics folder and run set-up to install the Synaptics touchpad driver- Restart again and now the touchpad should be working perfectly! Good luck...

Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

Hi,
I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660-1CN PSC0QE.
Touchpad don't start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
All drivers are updated.
Bios - lastest.
After log on I need to click *twice* "FN+F9" and after this is OK until next reboot.
I tried:
several Synaptics drivers - no change.
reinstall Windows - no change.
Windows XP mini from Hiren - no working.
BIOS defaults - no change
After I installed "toshiba value added package" I can't turn on touchpad at all.

Hi
Did you notice a difference while external USB mouse is connected or disconnected?
The point is that you can disable the touchpad automatically when external USB pointing device (mouse) is connected to the notebook.
This option can be found in +Control panel -> mouse+
In +control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Device settings)+ you can find all other options related to touchpad

No real LEFT klick on Touchpad with windows 7 / 8 on a mid 2012 Macbook Pro

hello Apple-user.
i installed bootcamp 5.1 on my macbook pro (mid 2012) for a Dualboot with Windows 7 or 8 (with both the same problem).
Everything works under windows except for one Thing : the Mousepad.
On the internet you can find thousands of amounts on the right button but non for the LEFT button.
First Thing : i hate tapping!
I will KLICK real on by the left / right Corner.
With tapping work the left and right klick, but not with the real klick on the Corner.
The right klick will work perfectly on the right Corner.
The left klick will work only when i have one finger on the Touchpad so i Need 2! fingers to make a real left klick.
Left klick with one finger only works by tapping.
On OS-X all work fine so that you can be sure that the Hardware(touchpad) is ok.
regards Andy

Hello
first, It was never about the right click, but only the left click.
The right klick is ok!
I think we are the problem so can not solve.
As a last attempt, I have a youtube video
It is ONLY the left klick with a Problem.
http://youtu.be/XP6CoJBZEDM
You can see the left klick works not with only 1 finger on the pad.
But when i put a finger on the pad and try it again the left klick it works....
Note also the noise in the Video.
Tapping is no alternative!
But it is not so bad, then the Macbook is just not used with windows.
many greetings and thanks for your effort
Andy

Lenovo U510--do the newer models (ship with windows 8) still have wifi and touchpad isssues?

Hi,
I'm currently a student and just started my last semester of undegrad. Unfortunately old POS acer's screen got messed up a few weeks ago and I need a new laptop.
I'm strongly considering the U510, but I'm really nervous about wifi and trackpad issues.
I'm considering buying it from costco, it's $699. The one they're selling ships with windows 8, so I'm assuming they're newer than the ones that shipped with windows 7 (which was on the site a few weeks ago). Has anyone who bought one of the 8510's noticed these two issues?
Thanks!

hi thehammer401,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
The only thing I noticed about the Touchpad is the sensitivity - which is a common thing as when you are typing, the Touchpad suddenly jumps around the screen. This can easily be fixed by lowering the sensitivity of the Palm and Touch sensitivity settings of the pad (you need to:
1. Open the Control Panel > Hardware & Sound and look for Mouse
2. Under the Mouse Properties, go to the Device Settings or Elan Tab then click Options or Settings and look for Sensitivity.
Check this website for a sample guide on how to adjust a touchpad's sensitivity. As for the WiFi connectivity, never got a problem so far.
Hope this helps.

Synaptics trackpad going crazy with Windows 10

The trackpad on my Hp Envy M7 Model-G6U51UA#ABA trackpad has been going crazy with windows 10. Sometimes (most of the time) the thing does not respond at all (clicks or fingermovement) when it does occasionaly it will zoom in/out with only one finger (NEVER did this with windows 8.1) I am DESPERATE FOR HELP!! I have tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it (driver from hp's website)

Thank you for your help on this!
Yes, I tried 1440x900 with no other settings. That's actually how I have it now. It allows me to go up to 1152x768, but that's it. ;-)
To the previous question on 1400x1050.. Yes I tried that also. It was in the modelines from the hdw config that I had, but since my monitor will only support up to x900, it wouldn't work either.
My existing 'abbreviated' conf settings are below, I've download the nvidia driver (pacman -S nvidia) and tried changing the driver below from nv to nvidia, but X complained and wouldn't start, so I'm back to the 'nv' driver below:

Thinkpad R500 Touchpad driver for Windows 10 (Mac like gesture)

I have a Lenovo Thnkpad R500 with Windows 10 installed, but it seems there is no support the two finger scroll (Mac like gesture). Is there Touchpad driver for the R500 to support Windows 10 two finger scroll (Mac like gesture)? It looks to be a Synaptics UltraNav, I have tried installing the generic Synaptics Windows driver V 17.0.19 that claims to support Windows 8 but it fails to install on Windows 10. If I cannot get the two finger scroll to work on the Lenovo, I will stay with the Mac.

Try this tool?

Touchad partially diabled with Windows 10

After installing Windows 10 the touchpad on my laptop (HP Pavilion) has lost its scrolling function, vertical and horizontal, with one finger or with two; and in the settings all the right options are ticked as before (with Windows 7).Thanks for any helpACA

Appeal to whitet22: Dear whitet22, about the problem I first exposed in this post, of the touchpad being partially diabled since I upgraded to W10, you kindly suggested wainting for new drivers to be issued by HP (or by Microsoft?). Now, a few weeks later, I dare come to you again and ask: are you aware of any new drivers made available for this failure? And how to have them installed? If this helps, I can mention that the control panel in my Pavilion laptop says this about its touchpad:Synaptics Pointing Device - v19.0.12.95 and Synaptics TouchPad V6.5 port PS/2. Thanks for any further help; and, if I am being too impatient, my sincere apologies.acal

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.

Ideapad Yoga 11 with Windows RT - Issues

Got my orange Yoga 11 with Windows RT a few days ago here in the UK, and I have to say that initial impressions are very good. No fan at all, barely gets wam, switches on from connected standby almost instantly, and battery life is really impressive. Build quality seems solid - no peeling paintwork, and keyboard is securely fastened, screen is great quality, there's some backlight bleed on the right side, but only visible when at 100% against a black background (i.e. never). There's a bit more flex and 'give' in the screen than I expected, but nothing I can't live with. Wifi signal is also strong and connections don't drop like others are seeing with the Yoga 13.
So, Windows RT ... still getting used to it, but here are some initial niggles: there only appears to be one Lenovo RT settings app available in the Store, and it's fairly useless, since all it does is provide a switch to lock/unlock keyboard in different orientations (why?). No Lenovo drivers are available from here either, I guess these all come from Windows Update for the RT model instead?
The problems I'm having stem from not being able to tweak some system & hardware settings properly because of the above and the need to rely on stock driiver configs, specifically:
- Keyboard: it can be quite sluggish, and doesn't register repeat letters very well (like in 'tell' or 'soon') at my typing speed. I've never experienced this with any keyboard, nevermind a Lenovo one. The stock keyboard config under Control Panel does nothing to help this - changing the two options for Repeat delay/Repeat rate just make it worse. This is quite annoying, as I really have to slow down my typing speed to get any work done. It would currently be my no. 1 reason for returning it, depending on how I get on with it this week.
- Touchpad: no options are available to configure it that I can find. No tweaking multi-touch, like 2-finger scroll direction (which is reversed from the normal setting). It can also be very sluggish to respond sometimes, especially for pinch to zoom and similar gestures.
- Bluetooth: allthough I can pair with e.g. Jamboxes fine enough, the connection is dreadful - constantly skipping and dropping out with any audio source, basically unusable. The Jamboxes work fine with every other device I own. Again no settings I can tweak here beyond the installation options, and no way to debug the problem.
Any help or advice with these niggles would be much appreciated, especially the keyboard issue.

Just to add a few more passing thoughts to this monlogue for anyone who may be thinking of buying this model instead of the 13.
When it comes to Windows RT I'm finding myself more surprised every day by what I *can* rather than *can't* do with it. Partly this is because I thought it would be something closer to a gimped Android or iOS experience. Here are some things I didn't really expect to be available or usable, and that compare very well to those other OSes:
- Remote Desktop (& RemoteApps): this really works very nicely, so far if I need quick access to a non-RT app it's a doddle to remote login to a W7 machine. I was expecting this to be too slow to be practical, but actually it's very smooth, and no need to install a separate app (although the Store has a Metro version to complement the desktop UI).
- Windows Firewall with Advanced Security: I was expecting something dumbed-down, but this is the fully monty, completely configurable when you need it, otherwise less in your face than with W7. The same goes for Windows Defender, also included as standard.
- Local Group Policy: I'm still surprised this is included, given that it otherwise only comes with W8 Pro.
- Bitlocker: encrypts your drive by default OOB, no need to manage it at all.
- Network browsing & sharing: really it's just a doddle to set up, using HomeGroup or just browsing the local network, access to all your network files OOB without installing any apps.
- PlayTo: again, painless to set up and use, streaming all your media to DLNA devices.
- Flash support, works just fine, and easy enough to add 'supported' sites to the list.
- Explorer / File History / Disk management, really the whole suite is there without sandboxing or more apps needed for handling basic tasks. So refreshing after iOS especially.
- Admin tools / Powershell: the list of is impressive - full Task Manager, Event Viewer & Performance Monitor all included - and I was delighted to find Powershell in there too, especially since it's finally integrated into Explorer properly. Such a great, under-rated utility!
- Media support: although I do miss a desktop media player with previews in Explorer, and better codec management, I was surprised by how quickly devs are stepping up to support different media types. Free apps already support mkvs and the like, and a VLC port is planned. I'm optimistic that this will get better.
So basically, once you get past the point of accepting that you can't install legacy desktop programs or drivers, it's pretty much a solid Windows experience. I think the keyboard & typing speed is now my only major issue ... but I've almost convinced myself I can live with it so probably won't be returning it.
Thanks for listening.

HP Envy 700-430qe DT CTO - - - Trying to dual boot with Windows 7

HELP HELP HELP
I know how to set up double boot for several different HP computers, based mostly from what I have learned in this great forum, but this one has me stumped.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on this computer to double boot with Windows 8.1. I have tried to set the bios up correctly, enabled legacy, disabled secure boot, disabled fast boot. I booted under UEFI to get in to GPT mode, still no luck at all.
The installation always goes all the way through the first 4 steps and through most of the 5th. After the reboot in the 5th step, it stops and can not go any further. A message appears without any error code.
I think it may be a problem in this computers UEIF settings, but I do not know if anymore of them to try.
I can use all the help you all can offer.
Thank, Brad
PS, If we ever get this to work, then I will have to ask you where to find drivers for this model, if they exist!

Hi Brad,
According to the information that you posted you have a W8 delivered PC.
If the graphics card in your PC can run in legacy mode then you should be OK.
I suggest that you use a separate HP for W7 as you will probably run into partition placement issues when you try to install W7 to the same HD. Installation to the same HD is not impossible but you will have to remove some partitions such as the recovery partition and then resize the "C" partition to make room for W7. You should be able to use Disk Management to delete partitions and resize the "C" partition.
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media as it will be needed. Backup your data to separate external media.You should also consider installing the HP diagnostics to an external flash drive.
Boot in the BIOS and set the BIOS to legacy mode and fast boot off. Save the changes on exit.
Now boot up the external recovery media (don't select the EFI media if shown) and reload your PC with W8.
If your PC boots up and runs OK then you should be good to load W7.
If you are using a separate HD for W7 then unplug the original HD. If you don't then W7 will install a boot manager to the primary HD.

How do i get a scanjet 5200c to work with windows 7?

I have a Scanjet 5200c that worked well with Windows XP. When I went to Windows 7, it stopped working. HP support said they did not support this machine with a driver for Windows 7. Why not? How can I get this perfectly good scanner up and running again?

BSLund, welcome to the forum.
I do not work for HP, but I have experience with driver development. Once printers/scanners get older, it becomes too difficult to continue updating the driver. There are newer printer/scanners that have to be supported. Drivers are difficult to develop and maintain. It is not as simple as going to the code and changing the model or OS version.

H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help. I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade the bios).
The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or the HP settings..
I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting. However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something. Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
that makes no since to me. the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly) check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster then the old one (as should be the case).
But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do. to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
here is the deetailed specs as per your page
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
the card SHOULD WORK fine. I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
so it SHOULD work.
and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot properly.......
HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers. WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
ITS VERY frustrating
and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
Thank you.

Hi,
You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics. You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update. While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way. The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
