Tvcard doesn't work on asus p2b

I'd like to use my tvcard (philips saa7134 chip) on my asus p2b board, but it doesn't get recognized at all, it doesn't even show up in the pci device listing on boot. On other computers the card shows up in lspci and works fine.
I have this hardware in the computer:
-aopen nvidia geforce4 ti4200 128mb
-philips saa7134 tvcard
-network card
I already tried switching the card to the first pci slot, played around with the irq assignments in bios, and did a bios update, but that didn't help..any ideas?
edit: lshw output (without updated bios)

guess i found the issue... seems like saa7134 cards need pci 2.2, while the board supports only 2.1 http://www.mail-archive.com/arch@archli … 04277.html

M500 doesn't work with Asus Q501LA

Bought this SSD over a year ago and have been happy with it up until this point. When I bought it I decided to do a clean install of Windows 7 because I am not a fan of 8. Fast forward to now and I get my notification for my free Windows 10 upgrade, an update I actually want. Low and behold, install fails. Multiple times. Come to find out that neither the Windows 10 or Windows 8 installer can see this drive. I've looked all over the internet but every one that has this problem has not found a fix. Crucial has not addressed it either. Very disappointed with Crucial now. Unless they can help remedy this problem then it will be a cold day in **bleep** before I buy anything else branded Crucial.

If you are annoyed by the M500 now, wait till you start using Windows10. Windows8 hijacked the front end believing every PC is a Tablet. Windows10 has hijacked the back end believing every Laptop and Desktop PC is a Smartphone. The security on Windows10 has not improved, still have to battle with Antivirus and Malware and now they are turning the Windows into a Smartphone OS. Windows10 is just a sales tool front end,,,not happy! If I were you I would go back to Windows7 on the M500.

some stuff ive noticed with laptops and bluetooth...
- bluetooth/wireless works in a lenovo i recently installed ubuntu in only after I suspend to ram. This is due to some weird Radio kill switch bug
- sometimes leaving bluetooth and wireless turned on on wiindows has its effects in linux, because windows drivers sometimes do not release control of the hardware. So try a cold boot, and if that doesn't work, a reboot from windows...'
- try variants of leaving the bluetooth switch on/off during the boot process
none of these actually seem like logical solutions, but thats how bluetooth/wireless and linux sometimes is..good luck!

Since the last update yesterday to firefox 4.0.1 my program "asus security protect manager" doesn't work properly. That means, that the saved keys from several websites not remembered for lock in.

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

[SOLVED] Asus 900 : ALSA plays sound, but microphone doesn't work

Hi,
This week I installed Arch Linux (kernel 3.1.8-1-ARCH) on my Asus 900 with HDA Intel Realtek ALC662 rev1 sound card. The wiki and google and existing forum posts have been good for most issues, but I'm stumped on ALSA configuration. So here's my first forum post for advice.
I configured sound OK following advice in the wiki and twiddling settings with alsamixer, through both the internal speaker and through the headphones, but I can't get internal or external microphone to work. I'm testing with:
arecord -d 3 junk.wav
then when I play back via:
aplay junk.wav
there is only soft static (with audible soft clicks at the start and end).
(Other files like /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav play fine.)
alsamixer recognizes and reports my HDA Intel card, Realtek ALC662 rev1.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa has several suggestions of options for the snd-hda-intel module.
Different pages suggest different places, which was confusing until I discovered that they can go in any file in /etc/modprobe.d so I'm putting them in /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf .
I added
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=1
with no luck.
I have tried various model=XXX parameters (based on many suggestions found googling for Asus 900, alsa, ALC662, etc problems):
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
options snd-hda-intel model=asus
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-laptop
options snd-hda-intel model=laptop
options snd-hda-intel model=ref
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode1
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode2
options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode8
and I do
rmomd snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel
after each modification, which makes a little click in the speakers as the module is restarted.
I don't know what the differences between asus-mode1, asus-mode2 etc are supposed to be - I've failed to find clear documentation about them, but AFAIK they seem to be the only valid model choices, unlike stuff like laptop, asus, etc.
I find asus-mod1 etc at https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ … _realtek.c and various other webpages.
I found they vary the items presented by alsamixer but none of the 8 asus-modeN values helped me get the mic working. (The only obvious change was asus-mode8 made my headphone stop working, unlike asus-mod1 through asus-mod7.)
I looked at /var/log/kernel.log when doing the snd-hda-intel module reload for various values of model= and they all look similar to this:
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A disabled
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X
snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1b.0: setting latency timer to 64
hda_code: ALC662 rev1: BIOS auto-probing
input: HDA Digital PCBeep as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/input/input24
input: HDA Intel Mic as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input25
input: HDA Intel Headphone as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1b.0/sound/card0/input26
(Note the emphasized line about BIOS auto-probing only comes up when not using model= or when trying various suggested model values that don't seem to be actually defined for ALC662, e.g. stuff like model=asus, etc.)
Here's a list of alsamixer settings I used for various models. (Note I also tried muting and raising various higher boost levels, and when there's an Internal Mic or F-Mic item I tried various combinations. The following are just what seem the most plausible settings to me.)
model=asus

Hello,
I don't have your soundcard but maybe the following information is helpful, though:
Install the linux-docs package, then you have some information about your soundcard drivers in "/usr/src/linux-*/Documentation/sound/alsa/". Exspecially "HD-Audio.txt" and "HD-Audio-Models.txt" might be important. In the Models file it is stated that just the "asus-mode*" are legitimate model parameters for your soundcard and in the HD-Autio.txt file it is more or less said that trial and error the modules is the way to go to find the "correct module". Further there is a section
Capture Problems
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The capture problems are often because of missing setups of mixers.
Thus, before submitting a bug report, make sure that you set up the
mixer correctly. For example, both "Capture Volume" and "Capture
Switch" have to be set properly in addition to the right "Capture
Source" or "Input Source" selection. Some devices have "Mic Boost"
volume or switch.
When the PCM device is opened via "default" PCM (without pulse-audio
plugin), you'll likely have "Digital Capture Volume" control as well.
This is provided for the extra gain/attenuation of the signal in
software, especially for the inputs without the hardware volume
control such as digital microphones. Unless really needed, this
should be set to exactly 50%, corresponding to 0dB -- neither extra
gain nor attenuation. When you use "hw" PCM, i.e., a raw access PCM,
this control will have no influence, though.
It's known that some codecs / devices have fairly bad analog circuits,
and the recorded sound contains a certain DC-offset. This is no bug
of the driver.
So check your mixer, here and here are nice tutorials.
Greetings

[Solved] Network doesn't work after hibernate?

Hello! This is my first legit Linux install so excuse me if I'm a bit slow. I installed Arch last night and everything went smoothly. However, after I tested out hibernate on my machine, the network doesn't seem to work. Just prior to the hibernate, I installed Pidgin and Skype but they worked alright, so I think that the hibernate caused a problem on eth0.
I have an Asus P8Z68-V Pro motherboard with an Intel 82579V Gigabit Ethernet Controller that's using the e1000e driver. Running "dmesg | grep e1000e" says that it is up.
I'm not entirely clear here, but from reading, I think that I have several ways of connecting to the network, including network, dhcpcd, networkmanager, and wicd. I am using wicd so I did the following (or at least I think I am only using wicd):
#rc.d stop network
#rc.d stop dhcpcd
#rc.d stop networkmanager
Similarly, I put a ! in front of network in rc.conf:
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon
# startup and during the boot process. If set to 'no', the C locale is used.
# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "", "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
# in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# Note: Using "localtime" is discouraged, using "" makes hwclock fall back
# to the value in /var/lib/hwclock/adjfile
# TIMEZONE: timezones are found in /usr/share/zoneinfo
# Note: if unset, the value in /etc/localtime is used unchanged
# KEYMAP: keymaps are found in /usr/share/kbd/keymaps
# CONSOLEFONT: found in /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts (only needed for non-US)
# CONSOLEMAP: found in /usr/share/kbd/consoletrans

# you should disable 'hwclock' here.
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng dbus !network netfs crond wicd)
Restarting eth0 through wicd-cli still did not work. I also tried resuscitating the network via instructions on the configure network page before trying to focus solely on wicd.
I found a few similar problems on the forums by searching "wicd hibernate" and tried several solutions but they did not work. Several problems seem to be that the network doesn't work after a suspend because I guess the stuff in RAM did not get saved? But people were able to restart the network by running "/usr/lib/wicd/autoconnect.py" and I wasn't able to get this to work. As a final effort, I added "resume" into mkinitcpio.conf and placed the machine into sleep again to see if it may magically reset something but of course this did not happen .
mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run first, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
# (Existing files are NOT overwritten if already added)
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
# Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
# like so:
# FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata resume filesystems usbinput"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. With kernels earlier than
# 2.6.30, only gzip is supported, which is also the default. Newer kernels
# support gzip, bzip2 and lzma. Kernels 2.6.38 and later support xz
# compression.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"

Not sure if my fstab.conf is useful but if this has something to do with settings getting "lost" in swap, here it is. Linux is on an SSD and HDD (sda and sdc) and Windows 7 is on a HDD (sdb).
fstab.conf:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information

Is wicd causing these problems or did I configure something else improperly? Would appreciate any help to get eth0 up again!

Ok, I think I've made some progress! Hibernate definitely affects my network connection. Could this be a kernel 3.0 problem?
I noticed that ifconfig showed eth0 without an inet addr, just an inet6 addr for the longest time. e1000e seemed to be loading up ok. I'm not certain here, but I think that meant the dhcp settings didn't stick, or something along those lines.
Trying to use dhcpcd like the instructions here did not work. By some chance, one attempt did work and while it did, I downloaded and installed dhclient. After that one successful attempt, renewing the DHCP lease via dhcpcd did not work again.
Luckily though, I found that running "dhclient eth0" worked. My DHCP settings seemed to have somehow gotten messed up after my initial, problematic hibernate to the point where none would stick, even after a reboot. Manually typing in "dhclient eth0" would get eth0 working, so I decided to add it to the bottom of /etc/rc.local, like in the example on the networking page.
Now, eth0 works after a boot. However, after the daemons load up during the boot process, my computer takes a long time to get to the login prompt (this is relatively speaking, since I am on a SSD and the boot process used to be blazing fast before). I'm pretty sure it's because I added "dhclient eth0" to /etc/rc.local.
I should say that even with these changes, after a hibernate, my eth0 still does not work and if it weren't for the edit to /etc/rc.local, eth0's inet settings would still not stick after a reboot (that is to say, the hibernate does do something to my network settings).
Is this the correct/most efficient way to fix my DHCP problem? Can I fix my "eth0 after hibernate" issue? Also, can I make my DHCP settings boot up without changes to /etc/rc.local so that I can get a fast boot again (still not sure how it was able to work before without my edit)?

X-fi Extreme Gamers not in IRQ list, doesn't work at all.

9X-fi Extreme Gamers not in IRQ list, doesn't work at all.O Lo mates,
my specs:
Intel C2D E8500
Gigabyte GA-EP45-DS3R
Club3D ATi 4870 52MB
2GB OCZ
2 WD Raptors connected to onboard raid controller
X-Fi in PCI slot
my problem:
The X-fi isn't working as it should. It's not getting detected in bios / POST so it can ofcourse not be working in any OS (currently running Win7 7068
I used to own a AMD 2500 / Asus A7N8X-E deluxe, and it used to work, but when I upgraded to a C2D E6600 / DFI Infinity it only showed up 3 times in my IRQ list / OS. This ofcourse is to blame to Creative, because they dont care about the PCI standard and didn't implement IRQ resource sharing in the Extreme Gamer card. After upgrading to my current setup (listed above) it's still not working at all, even though I tried disabling all onboard devices I dont use, and manually mapped IRQ channels to the PCI ports so they wouldnt share.
The X-fi is fine, I recently put it in another pc with another brand motherboard, and it was detected instantly. Guess the guy who owns that pc had some luck with his motherboard don't feeling the need to share IRQ's at that particulair moment... its like Russian roulette.
Is there anything i can do to get the soundcard to work even though it doesn't implement the PCI standards and therefore in my opinion failed as a soundcard and as a brand as a whole?
Greats,
eXistenZ

= Hey mate:
Havent seen your exact bios, but if you have a setting in it, called? reset [color="#000080" size="3">Extended System Configuration Data.
Then that might shuffle your bios, per se and then let that card be redetected. I used to use that on my systems when swapping one single part in order to get all the IRQs to shuffle around again, and give one to my card. Do you remember when the magic number to give to your Creative card was IRQ 5, DMA Low of , DMA High of 5, address of 220 and port of 330? Well that is how I used to get my system to shuffle my printer ports and modems in order to bump that sound card to get the correct addresses. Also check to see if the edges of your sound card are blackened. Wipe them with your fingers and see if there is an ashy burned residue. This will tell you if that card has been electrically damaged, or oily/dirty. Also the backlplates on some sound cards are slightly bent and your sound card will fit into its slot, but not all the way. A hair off and that card will be picked by your system every couple of boots.
Try this and let me know how it goes for you.

Video Doesn't Work iTunes 7.0.1.8 WinXP Pro

Video doesn't work. So far any video I have downloaded through iTunes has not played at all. Video player opens but displays a flouresent green then white then pink gradient and flickers. Reinstalled three time and reinstalled quicktime also.
Windows XP Pro Asus 128 mb video card

First try updating the video card/driver. If it came with the PC when you bought it, goto the PC makers site. If you installed a video card AFTER buying the PC, goto the maker of the video card.

X-fi Xtreme Audio doesn't work in Windows 7 64 bit

Hello everyone,
I know this is a known issue and I've found many topics on this, but still I can't find any solution and I hope you can help.
I've a Creative X-fi Xtreme Audio that was working perfectly under Windows XP SP3 but then I've upgraded to Windows 7 64 bit and the sound coming out from my speakers is awful. I've installed the latest driver from creative home site, I've updated the OS via "microsoft Update", I've tried many suggestions I've found on the web to solve this, like phisically change the PCI slot of the sound card, or reduce the ram ammount via msconfig but it didn't work. I've tried some custom driver either, the support pack 2.7 by Daniel?K. but nothing... I'm still at the starting point.
What should I do?
This is my actual configuration:
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Premium SP v 6..760
CPU: AMD Athlon 64x2 6000+
MB: Asus M3N78 SE (with the latest bios version 002)
Ram: 4gb
Video: nVidia GeForce GT 220

I use CS4 on a Windows 7 64-bit computer.
I noticed that none of the extensions I installed with the Extension Manager don't appear at all in any of the CS4 programs.
Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work or how to solve this problem?

OpenAL doesn't work... BF2 O NO O NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think my openAL software stuff doesn't work... I can't set X-fi on?Battlefield 2?and when I try to use sound on Eternal Lands, which contains openAL.dll, the game freezes. I have to set the BF2 sound settings to "high" to get the 3-d sound on, but it cause small freezes in sudden sound bursts like the repeated ticks of gunfire or the repeated zt of a helecopter blade, or a lot of people moving or a lot of grass making grass noise, etc, etc,etc. Also, when I try to use the "test" feature of CMSS-3d in gaming mode, the console freezes and the task manager shows it's using up one of my cores.
Angry consumer part>>>I contacted CRE-A-TIVE for SUPPORT AND THEY SENT ME A EMAIL FULL OF USELESS ARTICLES!!! THE RETURN ADRESS WAS INVAILD for ((SOME))) REASON!!!!<<<End of angry consumer part
. I got the new drivers, but they did the same thing. This all started when I took it in to frys electro and had my Motherboard changed for a Nforce 680i to a Asus P5K-E/Wi-fi. Maybe they damaged the card?
Conclusion>>> Anyone else have this problem? Thanks for any help.

My MAC still can't get mail out.
I did that (started to set up the MAIL Account) and it couldn't find the
outgoing mal server again. I called my ISP to make sure their server was
working. All is well there.They said it could be that some of the MAC
wireless settings had changed so we gave it the acid test of reality by
hardwiring the MAC (plugged it into) to the wireless network router.
I did that (plugged it in) and the MAC proceeded to complete the setting up of the MAIL
account. All of the inbox stuff is there but not the sentbox stuff. I now
have an "ON MY MAC item under my mail boxes that I never noticed before. If
we ever get this problem with getting mail out on the MAC will I ever be
able to get the outbox contents back?
At this point I thought all was well. I tried to reply to you on the MAC and
it still couldn't "find the server". Remember now it is still hardwired.
The ISP suggested changing the server to smtp.sentex.net. The MAC still did
not find the out server.
It shouldn't be a "wireless" issue or a "server spec issue" because this
ACER is right beside the MAC about 15 feet away from the wireless router and
is using the same outgoing server. And SAFARI is working as further proof of signal\connection.
Also the SEND icon in creating an email mode doesn't work now either, so I now can't even test the set up by attempting to sending an email.
Any suggestions?
WIN XP is starting to look pretty good compared to this O/S
Thanks for your patience. I wish I still had mine!

Premiere CS4 doesn't work on Windows 7

I have a delicious new Windows 7 edit suite I built for nearly 3 grand, and Adobe Production Premium CS4.
Premiere doesn't work properly.
I urgently need to edit a TV documentary. I don't have time to mess around, that's why I paid for the software rather than pirate it or get something like Vegas or Pinnacle.
I try and load my Premiere project and the thumbnails for my clips are grey and the program freezes when I try to view them.
Importing the project into a new project does nothing.
I just lose response as soon as I try to play some of the clips (about half of them)
All of the clips are on a local, high speed hard drive.
I have downloaded all Window's latest updates.. Same with Adobe..
This software is fairly disgusting. I've been struggling with Adobe Premiere for many years, especially on larger projects that aren't SD DVD-AVI format.

Hi Guys
I tried doing the benchmark thing but failed-
followed the instructions on the webpage, but found afterwards that they didn't match the instructions in the RTF file..
Couldn't get the script to work- runtime error.
However, project launched in around 11 seconds, rendered in I think less than a minute, and exported both formats in about 36 seconds.
Is that useful?
I am struggling to find any more time to work with this benchmarking utility.. thanks for bringing my attention to it though.
HDD setup is
System SSD
3 x Spinpoint F3 (not in RAID as I'm struggling setting it up without wiping Windows from the SSD...)
Asus P6TD
Graphics card is the weakest link here - 8500GT, until I can afford to upgrade.. Think it has latest drivers though.
X-Fi Xtreme Gamer soundcard (very recently installed)
I do indeed have a Logitech mouse, it's using SetPoint, latest version with UberOptions.
It seems like this project is nothing less than corrupted. But nothing is helped by me importing it into a fresh project... my steps:
1. Load Prem CS4 (latest update)
2. Load Promo.prproj
3. When loaded, it takes an additional ~15 seconds of busy disk activity, loading thumbnails in the timeline etc, which it normally never does on this machine. Finally, offline symbols change to thumbnails in the project/bin pane
4. If I scroll down in the project window, the lower clips have no thumbnails and suddenly everything's fallen apart; the monitor is black, the source monitor is frozen... Sometimes Prem says not responding..

Snd-hda-intel doesn't work on 2.6.24

Hi,
I have troubles with the sound card on a fresh Arch install.
I have a Asus P5B-Plus Mainboard, which has an ADI 1988 Soundchip. Sound works great in other distributions like opensuse 10.3 (kernel 2.6.22), so perhaps it is an issue with the new 2.6.24 kernel?
I tried to configure the card with alsaconf, no luck. I also tried to pass the different models with "options snd-hda-intel model=SOMETHING_HERE" in /etc/modprobe.conf, it doesn't work.
The really strange thing is that it works perfectly in opensuse 10.3 which has a much older kernel.
Can anyone please help me?
Here are a few outputs and relevant part of logs:

Thanks!
And gone again...
I just dont understand this...
maybe you upgraded your kernel. what's your kernel version?
$`uname -a`
I found a guide on configuring sound card.
http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.ph … 830b7d6e9d
I translated it into english.
Actually, the whole process is very simple.
0. cat /proc/asound/version to get your alsa version
1. run alsamixer to get the chip id on second line of output
2. open the alsa guide on /usr/src/linux/Documentation/sound/alsa/ALSA-Configuration.txt. if you don't have the kernel source, you know where to get it.
or just open http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document … ration.txt.
Search you chip id in this file. then modify snd-hda-intel option in /etc/modprobe.conf according to the documentation.
3. visit http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/i … -hda-intel and do exactly it tells.
4. reboot
That's all.

Upgrading from W 8.1 to 10, Key doesn't work

This laptop was purchased with Windows 8.1 pre-installed. The Windows 10 software is on my C drive and I tried installing it. The window asks for the Key. I've run the CMD wmic path softwarelicensingservice get OA3xOriginalProductKey. It gives me a Key but the installation program says the key doesn't work. Some sites say all updates must be installed. Done!Some sites say ignore the key and proceed. I can't as the software is very snooty - the OK cell is grayed out. Any suggestions? As an aside, I can't believe all the fluff on the Internet about installing W10. BTW, I installed W10 on an old ASUS Eee PC without any problem.

Hello, Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. Please, refer to this thread: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and-Software/problem-with-activation-after-upgrade-to-windows-10/td-p/5172044

Welcome ALL
i want to apologize for my english

Monitor work only in 800x600 and 1366x768 ;( in other resolution don't. I would like to add that on another computer works. I connected the old monitor and walked on its native resolution and full HD. Of course, old monitor, and a new entrance has a DSUB. I remembered something. This problem appeared except when accidentally one cable to the monitor (DSUB), connected the laptop and the computer. MY BIG MISTAKE :( But rather there should be no problems, yet old monitor it very well. I look forward to help, because I do not know what to give the guarantee of a laptop or monitor?

You need to install MSI drivers!!!. Try the latest 53.03 drivers, they should work just fine. Good Luck!
