TouchSmart IQ500 and Win8?

Hello.
HP TouchSmart IQ500.
System #: FK936AA-ABG
Serial #: 3CR----B32(blanked for security)
Model #: IQ518a
What is HP's position on this machine and Win8?
I have one of these machines running Win8 64-bit, but it often gives problems.
Video driver issues with the screen going blank(which I learn by reading other posts, is quite a common issue with Win8 on the TouchSmart machines), and recently, sound problems, where the sound just mutes by itself, and there is nothing you can do to make the sound work again. Sometimes, if you wait a while it works again, but the sound can just fail half way through a movie for no apparent reason. There is NO warning, wierd sounds or anything - it just dies and you can't get sound again from that point. Rebooting SOMETIMES fixes the problem, but only with about a 75% success rate. It is NOT the application causing the problem with the sound - no applicaiton that uses sound will output it - not even the Windows Sound app in Control Panel.
So, at the end of the day, can someone at HP please confirm for me if this model machine is actually compatible with Win8?
I am guessing that it is NOT supported at this stage, as I have not been able to find any Win8 specific drivers for this model machine, unless I am not looking in the right place, and that is quite possible!!!!
Thanks for any replies.

THIS is HP's position on Windows 8 and any non-Windows 8 HP computer;
Not all Windows 8 features may be available on all PCs.
Your particular experience with Windows 8 will be determined by the capabilities of your PC.
HP is providing upgrade instructions and drivers will be available for most Windows 7 systems sold after 1st October 2011.
If you want to restore the original operating system after upgrading, you must create HP recovery media before you upgrade.
Please note that if you purchased your system prior to October 1, 2011, HP has not tested these PCs or developed Windows 8 upgrade instructions or drivers for them. Upgrading such systems may be difficult or impossible.

How do I find and/or change the pre-set voltage selection switch in an HP TouchSmart IQ500 series

Doesn't it use an external AC Adapter? If so, all you should need to use in another country is an adpater plug to match the wall socket.

Hello, I have such problem. My TouchSmart IQ500 when turned on shows only startup screen.

When I turn on the TouchSmart IQ500, it shows only startup screen.
Pressing F11 (System recovery) does not affect anything.
Pressing F10 - it writes entering setup... and nothing more happens
Pressing F9 - also no response.
Please tell me what can be done?

It sounds a LOT like a dead hard drive, running diagnostics would be a good place to start.

Did you consider using one of the "workarounds" below to run an existing version of the AD Module for PowerShell under a specific PowerShell version:
a. #require -version 3.0 (in ps1 script)
b. powershell -version 3.0
Thank you for sharing with us if this helps.
Desmond, did you miss my reply below ? I still haven't heard back from you:

Unable to sync my replacement 7th generation Ipod Nano. Previous nano had no issue. Both Win7 and Win8 Pc's fail sync. I am an admin on both machines.

I don't know why my new 7th Generation Ipod fails sync diags on both Win7 and Win8 computers. I am an admin on both machines. The computer sees the device, but ITunes does not, but yet I can eject the ipod.

Hello Dee Nano.
It sounds like your iPod nano is recognized by your PCs, but it isn’t recognized by iTunes. Try the suggestions in the article linked below, they will resolve most issues like this.

Acrobat XI unstable on Win7 and Win8

Anyone else having trouble with creating/appending a webpage from browser to a PDF.
Typical problems:
firefox crashes during creation
Creation popup window keeps running with no progress
Error popups "DDE unable to communicate with Acrobat"
In ability to capture Web pages that have JavaScript
( The most frequent language on the web; Acrobat has JS built in )
When this happens, I stop having the browser append the page,
and instead request the page be appended from Acrobat.
Serious Flaw: If the page I'm viewing was arrived at by Single Sign On
to the site, Acrobat will only collect the signon redirection page.
That is why appending the page from a logged in browser is important.
Most annoying: Acrobat does not remember the name of the last PDF used.
It always truncates the name into something unusable.
I have to ALWAYS find the last PDF I was writing to for a new "Append" request
Acrobat becomes non-responsive when DDE connections fail.
It means I cannot launch Acrobat at all ... even for different pdf files.
Solution: Task Mugger and kill the running Acrobat processes.
I have several Acrobat dmp files ... I opt-in to "make Acrobat better" ... is Adobe
getting these crash failures? Something more I have to do at my end?
As far as I can tell by dates, the crashes had nothing to do with Task Manager kills.
I see the same problems in both Win7 and Win8.
Acrobat X worked much better ... but the plugin was only available for Internet Explorer,
so I upgraded to XI.
Super annoying: Adobe does not appear to ever have tested appending from a
browser to a PDF that was just created. It always presents a corrupted filename
for selection.
My Solution:
Create an entirely new directory
Place the pdf I want to create there as the only file
When Acrobat "forgets" the filename, it does still remember the directory
and I don't have to search for the PDF I want to append to.
It still is an additional keystroke to select the file ... which really slows me down.
Please fix these things. Or do I have to wait for XII version to get any fixes?
I am using Acrobat XI Pro Version 11.0.06

Perfect example of failures. Viewing this page from firefox, "convert to PDF"
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5140738#5140738
It hangs and two windows are open:
Apparently can't copy/paste images. Here they are:
And the firefox crash when I attempted to Append to a pdf:

Hooking up a touchsmart IQ500 series as a monitor

Is it possible to hook up a TouchSmart IQ500 Series computer as a touch screen monitor for another HP Computer (Envy Phoenix 810 running Windows 365.

Hello aefontenot,
I understand that you are looking into using your HP TouchSmart IQ500 AiO PC as a monitor to another HP Computer. The answer is "NO" you may be able to connect a computer to it using an adapter like an HDMI to USB adapter, but I was unable to locate the functionality to allow you to switch inputs on this computer.
I hope I answered your question to your satisfaction. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Lynx K3011 volume and Win8 Button no function in Windows 8

Hi, I just got my brand-new Lynx tablet and have installed all Windows 8 updates. Everything works fine, exept the "Volume" and "Win8 Home" Button are without function. Do I have to install additional drivers? In the device Manager everything looks fine. I dont think that it is a hardware issue.
Thanks for your help!
Patrick.

I recently found this information on the micorsoft troubleshooting website and thought of your post, not sure if you had found a solution but hopefully it is helpful.
My keyboard volume controls suddenly stopped working
If the volume controls on your keyboard stops working, check the Human Interface Device Access service on your computer to make sure it is set to Automatic.
In the Start menu, type View local services.
From the Search Results list, select View local services.
In the Services dialog box, locate Human Interface Device Access. Make sure the status is set to “Started.” If it is not started, click Start the service.
Right-click Human Interface Device Access and select Properties.
On the General tab, in the Startup type, select Automatic, and then click OK.
Thank you for being a part of the Lenovo Family,
Catie

I have a touchsmart 310 and am looking for a wall mount. What type do I need?

I currently have a TouchSmart 310 and am looking for a wall mount. Every site I check only seems to have the adapter for the 310, but the entire kit for the 600 and 9100 series. I am unsure what to purchase. Please help.

Have you looked at the http://www.iversal.com adapter? you just use that and any standard VESA wall mount with it.
