S5-1414 Plus 27" ZR2740w Monitor? Windows 8 Sticker?

Hi, I just bought a used S5-1414 (Product # H3Y75AAR) 3.4 GHz i3 (Core i3 2130) desktop.  
While it's "used" I think it must have been returned to a store immediately after purchase because its spotless.  It was missing its hard drive so maybe a drive failure was the reason for the return or the drive was just removed somewhere along the way for security purposes.
It's a nice little desktop and I'm thinking of using it as my main PC since I don't play games that often and could cut back on power costs by not firing up my monster Z800.  But I have two issues:
1) There is a Windows 8 sticker (just a logo) on the side but no sticker with a product key on the computer.  I assume it originally had one because of the other sticker and drivers only seem to exist for Windows 8 and 8.1.  Before I go buying a copy of Windows 8 (or 8.1) I wanted to make sure there's not a way to get a product key since I own the computer that originally had a license tied to it.  I know with some systems if they are sold with an OS the license transfers with the hardware (though you may have to buy install media).  I'd bet this isn't the case but I wanted to check before I go spending money unnecessarily.
2) Can a 27" ZR2740w be driven by the on-board graphics (Joshua-H61-uATX motherboard with HD2000 graphics on the i3)?  The ZR2740w is a GREAT monitor but doesn't have an on-board scaler and will only run at 2560x1440 and one or two lower resolutions.  I assume the BIOS screens are not at a high enough resolution to show on the monitor but I'm wondering if once the computer boots into Windows (which is not installed...see question 1) the monitor will work.  I'm not expecting great performance, just enough to browse the web and edit documents.
Thanks!

Here are the original factory specs for your HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1414 Desktop Computer. According to the specs this shipped from the factory with Windows 8 installed. Beginning with Windows 8, OEM computer manufacturers are required to encrypt and embed the Windows 8 product key in the BIOS/CMOS. This is referred to as a DPK (digital product key).
It is best to purchase and use HP Recovery Media for the computer, as this returns the computer to a factory like state. This includes the original OS, drivers, software, HP Recovery partition, HP Tools, etc. Please see DVD - English, French Windows 8 64b 12NA3RR8601 to purchase this HP Recovery Media.
Alternatively, you can try this Windows 8 OEM download; http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=en_windows_8_x64_dvd_915440.iso&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&sqi=2...
This is an unofficial "official licensed copy of Windows 8 OEM." Download this file (you may have to try several time or repeatedly to successfully download this file) and burn the ISO image to a DVD. Set the BIOS to use UEFI, enable "Secure Boot" and disable "Legacy Support... if these options are present. Boot from this disk and install Windows 8. It should register as an official copy and use the key embedded in the BIOS. Please note that no HP customizations nor HP value-added will be installed using this method.
The S5-1414 will not drive the ZR2740w monitor at full resolution. The monitor requires dual-link DVI while the computer only supports single-link DVI.

  • CS4-How do I remove a split screen in the Program monitor window?

    I have Pro CS4 on a vista 64 OS. I am using the Mainstream encoders and my Program monitor window switches to a split screen every time I play the timeline. When I stop the playback, the screen returns to normal full screen with the last frame showing. When I start the playback again, the screen splits into two screens squishing the actual playback window to the left part of the monitor window. Any Ideas? Thanks.

    I found the solution by changing my quality settings (in the top right hand corner of the program display window) from "Automatic Quality" to "Highest Quality".
    I am not sure why it affects the display in this manner, but it just works this way and it is repeatable.
    I am working with 50 Mb MXF files from a Sony PDW900 HD camera.I use the Mainstream codecs to inport the files. I am using a Nvidia Quadro CX as a video card with the latest drivers. I first thought that the Mainstream codecs were affecting the display somehow, but then again, I do not remember changing these display settings. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the response just the same...

  • Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

    Can a 128 ssd storage still effectively work if I install windows 8.1 plus msoffice and a window-based proposal system? I plan to buy a macbook air entry level with 1.7 gh i5 processor.

    If you are going to use Mac OS X and its associated applications, and a BootCamp partition with Windows 8, and MS Office and all of the work created there, you will more than likely run out of space on a 128 GB SSD pretty quickly...especially if you put any music, photos or videos on it.  Those things take a lot of space so you will have to be very, very careful about what you want to put on a 128 GB storage space.  You would be better off going for 512 GB with what you plan on doing with it.

  • Dual Monitors Windows 7 Problems

    Ok, this problem is getting really annoying and I think its a problem with windows 7 itself and not my computer.
    Basically I have a dual monitor setup with the left hand monitor as my secondary and right hand monitor as my primary.  Whenever I have an application with any graphics on it at all such as a progress bar on my left hand monitor moving windows around becomes laggy and juddery, yet this doesn't happen when the graphical app is on my primary monitor!
    My system Specs:

    removing sound card and re-installing windows from scratch
    upgraded my PSU
    Thanks for your help!

    (Latest update) This is the best I can do to alleviate the problem, and does reduce its severity immensely, but I found myself still noticing some slight playback glitches in videos on my second monitor which probably also translate to anything else with movement. I have tested with a panning scene in one of my videos and there is a subtle micro-stutter on my second monitor which I can find no way to fix. This doesn't occur if outputting to a single display, one or the other, nor does it occur when playing the video on my primary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration. Note that when I say "primary monitor", I am not referring to the monitor Windows has marked as primary, but my actual monitor rather than TV. In a dual-monitor configuration, this micro-stutter will only occur when playing video on my right monitor (TV), regardless of settings or which ports the monitors are connected to on the GPU. The micro-stutter occurs with no relation to the activity on the other screen, as it can be completely still. I can confirm the micro-stutter does not occur at all with Desktop Window Manager (Aero) disabled. In short, this is a nightmare.
    (Note that this micro-stutter is equally replicable in the 182.50 (WDDM1.1-less) driver, meaning there is no way to solve it other than disabling Aero or outputting to a single monitor.)
    I think I've solved the problem.. for me, anyway. I've divided this into short answer and "long answer", which is closer to a stream of consciousness in some ways, as I found out about Force10Level9 as I was writing.
    The short version:
    I've found some registry keys which seem to have fixed the problem for me. I haven't experienced any side effects, but use the tweaks at your own risk!
    I don't know exactly what they do. This comes from a lot of.. experimentation. I believe FrameRateMin tells the Desktop Window Manager that it's crucial to try to keep the framerate at or above the value specified (more details below), and Force10Level9 sounds like it forces DWM to use DirectX 9. I'm fairly certain about the former, not as certain about the latter, but together they do wonders.
    You can view the fix below. You can then save it as a .reg file and import it into your registry. Restart the Desktop Window Manager service or reboot to see the changes.
    Fix: http://pastebin.com/FFDbubw9
    Undo: http://pastebin.com/zA8CJY06
    (P.S. Just ran a FurMark test between fix applied and no fix. No difference in performance, with an inactive secondary monitor. I also noticed no difference in Physical Memory usage as reported by Task Manager. YMMV, let me know if you have any side effects.)
    (P.P.S. The screen fade that happens when you log in/out is just as choppy as before (or if it wasn't choppy for you, that shouldn't have changed). Oh well, how often do we see that thing, anyway? :))
    By the way, it appears 10Level9 is Windows 7's emulation platform for running DX10 on DX9 hardware. It's reported to be at least a 0.5x performance hit, so it's surprising that it actually makes Aero run better. If this article is anything to go by, Force10Level9 makes Aero run exactly the same as it does with older WDDM 1.0-only drivers like 182.50: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=637&pgno=1
    The long version:
    Well... I was able to do one more thing.
    There is an undocumented registry key which allows you to fine-tune the Desktop Window Manager's scheduling. Unfortunately, all of its values seem to be defunct in the final version of Windows 7 we all use today... except one: FrameRateMin.
    From what I gather, the Desktop Window Manager (Aero) carefully monitors the framerate it is able to achieve, and when it can't measure up to its own expectations, it will perform a "step down", or framerate reduction, and maintain this lower framerate for a given period of time (at one time specifiable with a registry value) before trying again at maximum speed.
    I presume it does all this to keep things looking "smooth".
    The problem is, in most cases, it doesn't help, and actually prolongs the stuttering duration. By "in most cases", I mean in every case it's happened in my personal usage of my Windows 7 computers.
    So what helped me was setting this FrameRateMin value to 60. That way, the Desktop Window Manager considers anything under 60fps to be unacceptable and will not remain at a lower framerate for purposes of perceived smoothness. Thus, the stuttering will take up as little time as possible, making it nearly unnoticeable most of the time.
    Keep in mind DWM shouldn't be having performance problems to begin with, but apparently in some cases, like with my particular hardware (desktop and laptop) and the latest NVIDIA drivers, it does.
    Down to brass tacks. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule. The value is FrameRateMin, a DWORD representing the minimum framerate DWM will consider as acceptable. I set it to 60, but you can set it to whatever you want.
    To repeat, this WILL NOT prevent Aero from ever getting below the framerate you specify; it simply prevents Aero from retaining a lower framerate after a stutter in order to give the illusion of smoothness (an illusion which fails).
    I imagine the main reason it fails so spectacularly in my usage is because I watch a lot of videos which play back at 24fps. Such a framerate plays back terribly with a 30Hz refresh rate, which is what Aero would reduce itself to for extended lengths of time. Now, performance hiccups are minimal, but sadly still existent.
    So this isn't a solution, but it does help. I am still uncertain of where the problem lies, considering GPU-Z shows graphics card loads to be as low as always when it's happening.
    Oh, and I found one more registry value. This one is far more important. :) It solves the problem for me entirely, from what I can tell.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics
    add the DWORD value Force10Level9 with a value of 1.
    I haven't noticed any side effects, just smooth performance.
    Apply these tweaks at your own risk!

  • How do I get an image in the Encore CS6 monitor window? Audio's fine.

    First time Encore user. Running its CS6 version alongside PP CC 2014. Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
    I get sound but no image in the monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
    Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
    I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
    Thanks for any leads.

    Thanks for your reply. I believe the purpose of Photo Stream on Apple TV is quite different, obviously you can use Photo Stream as a screen saver, but since Apple TV doesn't have a hard drive you can't download your Photo Stream pictures onto the device. This creates a problem when you have an Apple TV at two different locations (Home sharing wouldn't work), so I want to know if I can move a picture back into PhotoStream after 30 days and the system will allow it. Please help! Thanks!

  • Monitor window aspect ratio

    How do you set the aspect ratio of the monitor window?  Sometimes a 16:9 still image will full the monitor window, and sometimes it will be letterboxed inside a 4:3 monitor window.  How do you control this?

    For just the Program Monitor, setting that to Fit, will be correct - however, your Project Preset MUST match you Source Footage. Are you mixing Source Footage, or mis-matching the Project's Settings to your Source Footage?
    Good luck,

  • Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

    OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore.  Whats Wrong

    Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.

  • Resolution of image in monitor window

    How can I get the image in the monitor window to be as sharp as the image in the preview window in Premier Elements 10?

    Marcel,
    If a Project ONLY has Still Images (no Video), then the Project needs to be set to the desired output, say NTSC (or PAL, depending on where one lives) DV Widescreen 16:9 if going to DVD. This is a departure from a Project's Preset, where there IS Video. Then, the Video will dictate what the Project's Preset should be - a 100% match between it, and the Video. When one has both Video and Still Images, the direction for matching the Project to the Video holds.
    With Still Images, it is always best to Scale those, in Photoshop/Photoshop Elements, prior to Import into Premiere. This will do two things: keep the processing overhead lower, and actually yield higher quality. See this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/450798?start=0&tstart=0. For an SD Project, we recommend Scaling to no more than 1000 x 750 pixels, unless one needs to do a Pan on a Zoomed Out Still. I Scale to exactly the Frame Size of the Project. For an HD Project, say at 1920 x 1080, we recommend Scaling to no larger than 2000 x 1500.
    With Still Images, when one Imports those, and drags them to the Timeline, there WILL be a red line. Same as when one adds an overlay, say a Title, or Picture in Picture, or adds an Effect, or even a Transition - the red line will appear, and for smoothest playback, Rendering of the Timeline, or that portion of the Timeline, will be required.
    Good luck, and hope that helps.

  • Issue monitoring window

    We have an issue tracking system that I am trying to design an issue monitoring window for. I created the popup which has 2 frames: the top is the list of issues, the bottom is the assignments for that issue. The popup is set to refresh every 2 minutes, and the assignments section can is changed by clicking the linked id in the issues frame. The user can highlight a row in the top by clicking on the row. Double-clicking will launch a popup.
    What I need is this: I need for the user to be able to single click on a row to see the assignments for that call, or double click to see the details for that call. I believe the value of the call_id is obtained with the getValue(), but have not been able to get it to work. This is one of the last pieces of this project - any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I think I found a workaround. Instead of having the user click on the row to get the popup, I have changed all columns to links. One click will update the bottom frame, two clicks on a link initiates the popup. The rows highlight on mouseover. Note for anyone else wanting to call a popup from a popup: for some reason, the popup blocker will affect calls to the htmldb app when a session variable is used (other websites worked). I also had to use #APP_SESSION# instead of &SESSION. .

    Hi Steve & Bill
    Thanks for your help, I have now sorted my problem.  This morning after the PC had been switched off over night I started a compleatly new project after clearing out all the other projects, and everything worked fine. The only difference being when the clips from the VHS tapes were put on the timeline I got a message saying improve poor quality clips? yes/no, I clicked no,   last time I clicked yes, then it went into Auto Analylise. This may have been the problem.
    I will try to answer your questions now steve.   The Tape Deck is a Sony Mini Video Cassette recorder/Player  NO. GV-C300E PAL.(a useful piece of kit) it has a firewire connection to the PC and records in AVI format.   My o/s is windows 7,  Hard Drive 1Tb  with plenty of space, Processor is Dual Core 3.10Ghz  And 4 GB of Ram.  In general I am very pleasd with PRE8 it has problems yes but Iam sure they will be sorted later. I have worked with several of the earlier editions.
    Thanks again to all.

  • Remote monitoe supervisor not appearing in remote monitor window

    Hi All, So I want to use the remote monitor application to monitor either a CSQ or an agent. Setup the CSQ's, agents and supervisors for normal applications and all works fine. I have setup the remote monitor app and I receive the necessary prompts whe I dial it BUT in the remote monitor window, I dont see any supervisors at all - and ideas would be great as its driving me crazy.
    Thanks

    Hi Paul,
    Unique identifier of the user for which the spoken name is to be uploaded.
    Note        The User Id must be numerical.
    Yes it is required to have the Supervisor ID in numbers to be visible under the Remote Monitoring page. For the Test purpose I created multple user with the Supervisor Capability, and only the Supervisors with the numbers in the User ID are visible in this page as seen below.
    Please open the Help for this page on the Remote Monitoring and click on the section "Creating a Remote Monitoring Supervisor" , you will see the above requirement.
    Hope this helps, also please rate the helpful posts.

  • Monitor window problems in CS4?

    I just upgraded to CS4 from an older version.  I have Premiere Pro 4.2.1.  I'm using it on a Windows XP machine.
    The monitor window is not behaving at all as expected.
    I imported a Photoshop file to use as a still for a few seconds.  The thumbnail in the upper left corner of the project window looks fine, but the colors in the monitor window are really bizarre.  For example, the white background of the Photoshop file is displayed in the monitor window as a horrid salmon color.  The places that should be red in the Photoshop file display in the monitor window as royal blue.  I tried exporitng the sequence to an AVI file, and the colors came out fine in the AVI file.  So the problem appears to be confined to the behavior of the monitor window.
    When I move the slider back and forth in the timeline window, I would expect the monitor window to display whichever frame I'm passing over.  But it doesn't.  It'll update the view (with incorrect colors) when I pass the slider in the Timeline window over a still, but if I pass the slider over a clip, it just preserves the display of the most-recently-displayed still.
    I have also noticed that there is no longer a help file local on my hard disk - when I click o nthe "help" choice from the menu bar, and then pick "Adobe Premier Pro Help", instead of accessing a local help file, it goes out to Adobe's web site.  This was EXTREMELY annoying when I was trying to use this stuff on an airplane without web access!  How am I supposed to get help when I don't have Internet access?????
    Can anybody point me in the right direction to solve these problems?

    The links in this ARTICLE might prove useful. Most often, this is caused by either an outdated video driver, or perhaps a setting for Hardware Acceleration, OpenGL, or similar.
    Also, as Harm mentions, make sure that your PSD is RGB 8-bit, and is also appropriately Scaled in PS to near the Frame Size of the Project. Usually, CMYK, or 16-bit PSD's will yield error messages.
    Good luck,
