Hi,
You can change using Personalize setup. Please right click a blank space on desktop then select Personalize. You can change many things from there.

  • I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP Pavilion slimline with Vista

    I am trying to install a hp officejet 4215 all in one on a HP  Pavilion slimline with Vista, I log in under myself and  I am an administrator, When I run the cd to install it shows that I need to be logged in as administrator, any help out there ?

    I am not sure why the HP software needs to recognize your airport. That's a function of the OS. Can you be more specific about the problem you are having? Do you have some screen shots? Is the Macbook connected to the router?
    If the HP printer can't recognized the router, that's a different story. You'll need to plug the Macbook into the printer (by cable) to config it (that's typical). You may need to assigne the printer its own static IP address (which I would advise doing anyway). That way you can always find it and it will make setting up network printers on other computers a bit easier.

  • How do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?

    Yes, how do I enable the blue function keys on an old Pavilion N5445 with Windows XP?
    The blue function keys currently do not work.
    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
    Let me repeat that so that nobody posts a stupid link to how to turn on the function keys in the BIOS. THIS IS AN OLDER LAPTOP.
    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.

    There is NO mention of the function keys (or even action keys) in the BIOS.
    Somehow the function keys got turned off. So I suspect there's a way to turn them on again.

    HI Lukon:
    Thank you for your post.  I will do my best to assist you in this endeavor!
    I regret that you are experiencing an issue with the function keys. I am providing you with a link to "Configuring the Multimedia and Internet Keyboard Buttons in Microsoft Windows 98, Me, and XP"    click here. Have you tried running the HP Support Assistant to look for updates and resolve issues.   click here. Have you tried the MS Fix it  tool click here to aid it resolving it. I hope this helps.

  • HP Advisor stops working on my Pavilion p6330f with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system

    My computer is a  Pavilion p6330f  with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit system.  It bothers me when I get error messages and can't seem to correct the problem.  After loging onto my computer  a message comes on that the HP Advisor stopped working. When I attempt to load the HP Advisor it gives me the same message and does not come up. 

    HP Advisor-one of the first things I uninstall, flaky software.
    Have you tried the update for Advisor from your support & drivers page?

  • Getting my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 back to normal after a system recovery.

    I did a system recovery for my HP Pavilion g7 with Windows 7 and have all of my files on a SanDisk thumb drive. How do I get my laptop's files, folders, shortcuts, applications, etc. all back to the way they were?

    Hello marinegf.  I understand you've lost your sound after performing a System Restore.
    What is the product number for your notebook?  There are many versions of the HP 2000 and this will make it easier for me to locate any appropriate software.  This document can show you how to identify the notebook by the product number.
    Also, it may be helpful to know what issue you encountered which led you to perform a System Restore.
    The first suggestion I can offer you is to run Microsoft's Audio Troubleshooter.  Here is a link to the utility.
    If the troubleshooter is unable to resolve the issue I suggest you next try removing the driver and allowing Windows to perform the reinstall.  I assume you're using Windows 7, so these instructions will be for Vista/7.
    Click Start, type "Device Manager," and press Enter.
    Expand the "Sound, video, and game controllers" section.
    Right click on your audio device and select "Uninstall."
    Reboot your computer and allow Windows to perform the reinstallation of the driver.
    Verify whether or not you have sound and post the result!
    I'll keep an eye out for your reply.  I hope you have a great day!

  • Where is control panel on imac?

    Am trying to uninstall a couple of programs, just switched Mac from PC for 15 years.  Cannot find where start menu is, control panel etc., in order to remove programs.  Thanks for your help. 

    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead.  Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
    AppZapper
    Automaton
    Hazel
    CleanApp
    Yank
    SuperPop
    Uninstaller
    Spring Cleaning
    Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
    For more information visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on removing software.

    Hello,
    You might not have the plugin for Firefox installed. Adobe has two different versions of Flash - one for Internet Explorer and another for Firefox. Internet Explorer uses ActiveX. You can check if Firefox has the plugin by going to:
    * Tools > Add-ons > Plugins, or
    * [Image: New Fx Menu] > Add-ons > Plugins
    In Firefox, go to this link and Adobe should give you right correct installer:
    * https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If for whatever reason it is not choosing the correct OS for you, you can manually select Windows Vista and "Other Browsers" here:
    * https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/

  • Despite having the File Associations in both Windows Control Panel and Firefox Options set to Windows Media Player for *.mwv files Firefox tries to open them with Foxit pdf Reader, which bombs out - what now?

    Making this entry from my Linux computer which handles the situation correctly.The real situation involves only a Toshiba laptop running Windows XP.

    I used this link for tiff http://www.nrl.navy.mil/content.php?P=IMAGES
    QT was opening the tiff files. When going into the QT control panel Browser>Mime settings>Images-Still image files I was able to uncheck tiff, which held. I was also able to uncheck all the file types under File Types tab(Images-Still image files) in the QT control panel. However the preference would not hold. Went into Start>Set Program Access and Defaults that also was of no help.
    The only way I was able to get QT to release the tiff's from the website I posted was to go into the Folder Options control panel for File Types and change the tif & tiff from QT picture viewer to windows picture and fax viewer.
    So not sure why the QT control panel will not respond, there are other file types in the Folder options control panel on this computer other than tiff's that are still associated to QT, but didn't try changing them, perhaps that needs to be done?
    Good post I didn't realize this before reading your post, if I come across anything further I'll post back.

  • Ethernet driver missing on s5-100z Pavilion Slimline with Win7 Ultimate

    Hi all, I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 on my daughters computer and all works fine except that when I try to connect to the router is says the Ethernet driver is missing. When I check the Device Manager it shoes the Ethernet Controller driver is missing. I have tried everyway I know to find the driver, but, so far nothing.I have worked with many computers over the years and have been a Tech Beta Tester with MS for over 15 years and I have never ever encountered this kind of issue before. I have the same Windows OS installed on my HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1205z and did not have the problem. I have changed out the ethernet cables 4 times thinking it might be the cable, but, so far nothing resolves the issue. I am in hopes that someone here can help me find the driver for the s5-1000z so that we can get my daughter's computer connected to the router. Any suggestion or assistance will be very greatly appreciated.  She needs the computer up and working with the Internet before schools starts so she can do her online courses. Thank you. :-) 

    Hi: The motherboard specs for that model indicates that it has the onboard Realtek Technology: RTL8105E-VC ethernet chip. The second driver on the list at the link below should work. http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

  • Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 - some softs use laptop speakers some headphones (at the same time)

    To be more specific, I usually use my headphones with my laptop. The main problem is that when I use winamp and skype at the same time there's a weird thing happening:
    If I get a skype sound, the sound switches from the headphones to the laptop speakers. After the skype sound is over it automatically returns tot the headphones. I'm using Windows 7, and I looked at Volume Control Options and i have 3 devices: SPDIF, Independent Dual Headphones and Speakers and Dual Headphones and I can not choose which one to use (for all softwares).
    This is annoying (specially at night when I don't want to make any noise), if I get a skype call my speakers go wild and after the bip-sound from the call it all switches back to the headphones.
    Can you help me set up this sound issue ?

    Solution has been found. Disable "Communications Heaphones" from Sound in the Control Panel.

In the device manager an error on ''PCI bus9, Device 9, function 2 & 3'' was appeared but after i installed new drivers the errors was fixed and it was written that the device was working properly. but unfortunately the device is not working properly because i stills have no sound. I also disassembled and reassembled for second time to find out if the problem was minor like an unplugged cable but everything was completely fine. Operation system: Windows 7 64 bit.  Can someone please tell me what to do?
