HP w2408h monitor isn't working with Windows 8.1???

I've been using my HP w2408h monitor as a second screen for my computer. When I bought the new computer, I just connected the HDMI cable to the main monitor and it worked perfectly (with Windows 8.0 Pro).
Yesterday, I upgraded to Windows 8.1 Pro and the monitor no longer works / isn't recognized in the device manager. I've tried to find drivers, but all I can find is drivers for 8.0. I've read that the 8.0 drivers should still work for 8.1, but they don't. I've tried reboots, reconnecting the HDMI cable, etc. - to no avail. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the HP Support Community! I saw your post regarding the problem with Google Chrome not working after you did an update. Are you having any problems if you use a different browser? I would recommend that you uninstall Chrome and reinstall it.

DVI connection to Lenovo 6622-HB1 isn't working with Windows 7. Any suggestions please?

I have a W510 in a 4338 Mini Dock Plus Series 3 running Windows 7. Previously I had a T60 in its docking station (2504) connected to a Lenovo 6622 (1680 by 1050) connected using the DVI connection which worked fine under WinXP, but the external monitor does NOT work any more with W510/Win 7. It DOES work with an analog connection but I would prefer to use the DVI.
The external DVI connection works at startup but once Windows 7 completes its initialization it becomes undetected.
Can anyone advise whether this is a recognised problem and whether a fix is available? Thanks

on the dock 3 plus there are two dvi ports, which one did you use?

HP 2311C USB Monitor will not work with Windows 8.1

Just done a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my HP Spectre XT Pro.
The HP2311C monitor is working fine as a USB hub and the built-in Network card but will not detect the monitor as a USB monitor.
This was working when it was a Windows 8 build and previous Windows 7 build.
I have downloaded and installed all the HP drivers and run the HP Support Assistant to make sure everything is up to date.
My two other collegues who have done the same upgrade with the same kit and are also having the problem.
If we plug the HP2311C into a Windows 8 or Windows 7 machine the USB monitor works fine.
Tried several reboots, connections and uninstalls, which have not worked. Also there are no event logs to suggest an anwser.

I am having the same problem with my SPECTRE PRO 13 and Windows 8.1 - most unhappy about it. There is no 8.1 driver for the L2311c and I get no help out of HP as to when there might be one . These items are not cheap in NZ and I feel I have wasted my $$. It works fine on XP!

Itunes 10.6 isn't working with Windows 7

Every since I updated my Itunes to 10.6 as it requested me to, but Itunes won't work. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted temp files, even created a new user account. Noting works. Now I will admit that the new account allowed me to install Itunes and it works in that account, but that isn't where I am using my Itunes. What's up with Itunes and Windows 7? It was working prior. Very perplexed.

Now I will admit that the new account allowed me to install Itunes and it works in that account

Toshiba DVBT-Stick PX1211E isn't working with Windows 7

Hey,
i bought a Toshiba PX1211E DVBT-Stick for my Laptop. My system is Windows 7. I downloaded and installed the newest drivers, but the dvbt isnt working.
Can you tell my what drivers i need and how i correctly install it? That would be very nice!

Hi
You said you have downloaded and installed the newest drivers
What drivers did you chose and where did you find these drivers???
On the Toshiba European driver page I could find only Savy TV (driver) for Win2k, Win XP and Win Vista
There is nothing about Win 7
However, you should check what OS are supported this should be mentioned on the package on in the manual
Otherwise you could try the Vista software

Hello, I have a Mac computer with NVIDIA 750M dedicated graphics card and monitor EIZO but the problem was there when I was working with Windows and Acer monitor. When I open a file from Camera Raw in PS this is smaller than the screen so I double-click with the tool "hand" to fit on the screen, but the picture loses sharpness and becomes blurry. If you magnify the image even only slightly with the tool "zoom" the picture comes back clear. In Camera Raw instead is always sharp. I solve the problem by turning off the graphics card in PS but often use plugin that need the graphics card otherwise the processing time is much longer. I ask for help.
Thanks.

Install disk doesn't work with Windows Vista

I just bought a new HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M277dw and the install disk isn't compatible with Windows Vista. Apparently there's no ful feature option for Windows Vista on an HP laptop. After several hours of work I downloaded several drivers and got the printer to print, but the scan function doesn't work that well without the HP software which hasn't been created for Windows Vista.

I am having a very similar problem but do not have an answer either. I am running an X61 Type 7676A12 with a Lenovo ACP50 port replicator FRU part number 40Y8160. I am running Windows XP Pro. The port replicator has never been very great and would not restore the external monitor picture properly when the laptop had been in sleep mode however it was serviceable if not optimal. After downloading and installing the October MS security updates the machine would get a BSOD when the port replicator was plugged in. Remove the replicator and reboot and it worked ok. Plug it in again and BSOD. I tried upgrading the drivers from 5.1.4a to 7.1.1.03Aug07 and then to 7.1.2. No go. Emailing Targus with the problem got no response. The port replicator is now relegated to my junk heap of useless rubbish.

Secondary display does not work with Windows...

Ive been using a samsung syncmaster 920nw as my secondary display for the past few months. It works fine while running OS but when I switch over to Windows XP the display goes blank after startup. I have installed the proper drive and updated it whenever possible, but with no effect. I have tried to follow the troubleshooting prompts and pretty much everything else I could think of. Im out of ideas. I didnt buy the monitor to sit on my desk and take up space... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Still no luck... Has anyone else experienced this problem while running Windows through bootcamp? Is it possible there's a compatibility issue with XP vs. Vista? The display is new and bears the mark "Works with Windows Vista". Could that mean it wont work with XP? I obviously don't use Windows that often, but seeing as I purchased the monitor as a secondary display, it would be nice to be able to put it to use in Windows too. Thanks anybody...

Does iTunes work with Windows 8?

Does anyone know iTunes work with Windows 8? I know 10.7 was just realeased and I wondered if it added Windows 8 support or will I have to wait for iTunes 11?
Windows 8 is not beta anymore, it is RTM although I know a public release isn't until October.
I just want to know if people have it working or not.
Many thanks

I just installed iTunes 10.7 on windows 8.
I can confirm the issues with iTunes on the windows 8 release preview still exist.
Meaning that iTunes does work, but some devices cannot be connected nor synced. This seems to be a driver issue.
For all I know what does work: iPad 1, iPad 2, New iPad, iPhone 4S.
What does not work: iPhone 4.
These I know for sure myself, other devices may or may not work, but I didn't try them myself.

HP LaserJet 6L won't work with Windows 8

Good afternoon all,
Right I inherited this great little printer last year, it worked great with Windows 7 but now it wont work with Windows 8, it appears to be installed and the drivers are all up to date but when I use it to print a pile of random characters come out on the pages and doesn't stop. I've reinstalled it and installed it again and again every different way but it just doesn't work and HP says that it is compatible (there is a green tick beside it somewhere on your website). Could it be that I'm using a cable that is parallel at the printer end and USB at the computer end that is at fault?
James.

I had the same problem, and fixed it.
Control Panel - Devices and Printers
Click on "Add a Printer"
Click on "The printer that I want isn't listed"
For USB connection, choose "Add a local printer or network printer with manual settings"
Pick an existing port. I use a cable that has LPT port at one end, USB at the other end. So my choice is USB001 (Virtual printer port for USB)
Now you see the list of manufacturers and models. Before doing anything, click on "Windows Update" and let it run (takes a few minutes)
Once the update is complete and you're back to the list of manufacturers and models, select HP as the model, and select HP LaserJet 6L as the printer. Without Windows Update, it will only show "HP LaserJet 6L PS Class Driver", which causes the problem. Stick to "HP LaserJet 6L"
The rest is straight forward. Print a test page and check if it comes out right. Good luck!!

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. Any ideas?

Need help getting Adobe OnLocation CS3 to work with windows 7 64 bit. The program installed ok and the S/N took.
The program does record video and audio HDV M2T.

The scopes respond as do the audio components when recording. (with a blank monitor component).
The video does play back on my system no problem.

"Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8". How to turn on XD flag on IdeaPad z570 BIOS?

When I attempt to UPGRADE (not a clean install) from Windows 7 sp1 to Windows 8 Release Preview, the installer halts and shows the message "Your PC's CPU isn't compatible with Windows 8.". In searching for a resolution to this, some people have had success in avoiding this error and successfully installing Windows 8 by turning on the XD setting in the computer's BIOS security tab. My Lenovo z570 Intel i7 BIOS version 45CN47WW does not display this setting and so I cannot change it. How can I change it? I found comments on Lenovo's site that ThinkPad laptops BIOS had been updated to be able to switch this xd flag on, but found nothing for the IdeaPad z570 BIOS.
A work around was to use a different installer: the setup.exe located in the sources folder of the Windows 8 install cd/usb drive. This installer does not check for the xd to be on. But I will need to set my Lenovo laptop's xd flag on when the final version of Windows 8 is released.

Could be too that things will be different in the final version with the NX bit setting than in the ctp. Nice that there is a workaround available :-) for the tech preview.

New computer wqith Windows 7 - Does iTunes work with Windows 7

I downloaded iTunes 9 and tried to upload my 1st CD and it never got passed a few seconds of upload before it froze up. I tried another CD and the same thing happened. So I uninstalled 9 and tried iTunes 8 because I was more familiar with that. The first CD uploaded the 1st song and then froze up. The song played quite well but I couldn't get passed the 1st song. Does iTunes work with Windows 7? TY in advance.

No it runs just fine on Win 7 64 bit so your problem isn't that.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and use this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 to make sure you get all of the old install.
Make sure you run disk clean up when your done so that there are no temp files around when you try with the fresh install.
Now, making sure your using the admin account and that you've disabled any security software, try again with the new download
