Where is the file management utility on my HP Pavilion dv5-1150us Entertainment notebook pc?

I am trying to hookup a WD My Passport Ultra 2TB external drive for backup on my notebook.  It tells me to check the file management utility to see if the WD File Setup is listed.  How do I go to and find that utility?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp41501-42000/sp41698.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete,download and reinstall the Chipset driver on the link below.
Chipset Driver - Windows Vista.
When the reinstallation has completed, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery.  Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds.  Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.  Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete.  Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if you now have audio.
Regards,
DP-K

  • Where can i find the file manager of yendo?

    where can i find the file manager in yendo phone(sony ericsson)

    I do not think there is a default file manager in the Yendo.
    I think you have to connect your phone via the USB cable to the PC in Mass Storage Mode and use the PC file manager.

  • SYSLOGD gone wild - where are the files?

    Hey all,
    Yesterday I had 15GB of free HD yesterday, it told me today that I was down to 100MB.
    Confused - because I haven't added any files, I check the activity monitor and found that SYSLOGD was running, and using an absurd amount of processor and disc access.
    I searched on it, and it seems to relate to Time Machine, which I'm not using.
    SO... I rebooted, and now it's not running any more.  BUT - the hard disc space is still gone, and I don't know where the files are that I need to delete to free it up.
    I've loaded a disc scanning utility to try to find where a new 15GB file might be hiding, but I'm thinking it's in the hidden area of the disc.
    QUESTION 1 : Where are the files SYSLOGD wrote and how can I delete them?
    QUESTION 2:  What made it run, and how can I keep it from happening again?
    Thanks!

    If you're looking for trash sounds, those are located in /System/Library/Components/CoreAudio.component/Contents/Resources/SystemSounds/ . If you're wanting to change the put stuff in trash and empty trash sounds, then follow these steps.
    Convert your sounds to aif, save them in some convenient location.
    Replace the two sound files *"move to trash"* and *"drag to trash"* inside the Finder and Dock folders, respectively, inside the SystemSounds folder, with the one you want for putting things in the trash and the *"empty trash*" one inside the Finder folder with the new one for emptying the trash.
    Ensure that you rename the new ones the same as the originals. (I usually copy the originals and add a .bak suffix so I can restore the sounds to their original condition.)
    OPTION-click the Finder's Dock icon and select Relaunch.
    Do note that if you'll have to authenticate to copy, rename, and replace these files. I use the Terminal with the sudo command to affect the changes.

  • Java logging API (1.4) -- where's the file?

    Where on God's green earth does the log file get written to?
    I am doing some very simple code:
    import java.util.logging.*;
    public class SimpleLogging {
       static Logger jcfeLog = Logger.getLogger("test1");
       static Logger sampleLog = Logger.getLogger("test2");
       public static void main(String [] args)
          jcfeLog.warning("sample warning");
          sampleLog.log(Level.INFO, "sample info entry");
          byte[] moreInfo = new byte[10];
          //fill moreInfo with some binary info
          jcfeLog.log(Level.FINEST, "Some obscure event", new Object[]{moreInfo});
    } doesn't get much simpler, plus I am using the default properties file. I get the console output but simply cannot find the log file anywhere on my system. Just for kicks, here is the config entry for the file:
    java.util.logging.FileHandler.pattern =%t/java%u.logmy understanding is that it should go to the temp directory?
    also, why aren't the specs for the config file listed anywhere, all these %t, %u, etc.....????

    The FileHandler API gives the meaning for the % symbols.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/util/logging/FileHandler.html
    Your pattern indicates that the file should be put in the system's temp directory, with the file name java###.log.
    Maybe you should try calling the addHandler method on your Loggers, and add a FileHandler to write the messages to that file.

  • Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac?

    Where is the file that contains info on previous session info on a Mac? I would like to restore several windows and tabs I had open earlier, but the restore previous session menu item does not appear to be available. I had to install and use an older version of Firefox (3.6) to access a website (Fedtraveler.com) that is not compatible with Firefox 6 and is seems to have cleared out the previous session information. I thought I would use Mac OSX Time machine feature to restore the Firefox file where this the previous session info is kept but I don't know what it is called nor how to find it.

    That is the file sessionstore.js in the Firefox Profile Folder.

  • Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Where is the file of the funds of screen in Lion?

    Two of the Screen Savers folders are initially empty, yes.
    If you want to use photographs for a screensaver, don't put them in those folders, though. Store them somewhere else, then click the "+" button on the screensaver preferences page and choose "Add folder of pictures".
    If you want to use them as backgrounds for desktops, again, don't use the Screen Savers folders, just put them in a new folder somewhere else, then juse use the "+" button on the Desktop preferences pane.
    If you're setting background images for Spaces (virtual desktops), set each one individually. Remember to close System Preferences once you're done with each desktop, then switch to the next one, right-click on the desktop, and click Change Desktop Background again.
    Hope that helps.

  • Where is the file stored (N95)

    I sent my N95 an MP3 from my computer at work via blue tooth. I opened it and was there on able to access the song through the music player.
    I wanted to be able to access the file from my home PC so I connected the N95 via the USB interface and navigated through the phone via windows but the file does not appear to be in any of the directorys. I also had a look on the phone through the File Manager and it wasn't there either. Are there hidden directorys that my N95 can store files in?

    If he must have saved that file then he will be able to see attachments dude!
    And t1mmclaren, install X-plore and open it and press4 to get access to inbox. Move your file to storage memory and then try accessing it in your PC!

  • Where is the File 'Tropical_7.tga'?

    A few days ago I created a project using "beachresort_title" under Titles & Text > Travel > Beach Resort.
    The title seems to work as expected, however every single time I open the project file I get this window ("Where is the File 'Tropical_7.tga'?") where I am supposed to browse to this TGA file.
    It seems the project file should know where it is. But I also searched my computer high and low and can't find it.
    Why is this happening and how to fix ?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    Premiere Elements 12 does not support .tga files which were often used in Title Templates in much earlier versions of Premiere Elements.
    From your prior threads, you appear to be working with Premiere Elements 12 in Windows 7 64 bit. So, it is curious why you should be getting "Where is the file Tropical_7.tga?" when you select Titles & Text/Travel/Beach Resort.
    Is there a blue pan at the top right corner of the thumbnail for the Beach Resort choice in the Premiere Elements display of title templates? If so, right click that blue ban and select download now. Does that action solve the problem in any way? If not, then
    Let us do this to troubleshoot...
    1. Look for the file beachresort_title.png in the following path
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    12.0
    Online
    Title Templates
    All_Lang
    Travel
    Beach Resort
    and in the Beach Resort Folder you should find the beachresort_title.png file. Is it there? Could you post a screenshot of what you find in that Beach Resort folder? If not, then just post what you find there by name.
    We will base the next phase of the troubleshooting based on your reply. More later.
    Thanks.

  • "Where is the File?" Window

    When you open an existing Premiere CS4 project and it fails to find a file, a "where is the File?" dialogue box opens.  This contains a very useful check box "Display only exact Name Matches".
    This worked perfectly with CS4.1, but, for me, it no longer works now I have updated to CS4.2.1.  This is a nuisance!
    Is it just me, or is this feature broken now?

    No worries!  You just got me hoping for a while there.
    I tend to have sets of clips named sequentially, so I have to be careful when this box comes up.  I have had some odd results when I have clicked on the wrong file.

  • Where is the file that contains my contacts ?

    Hi ...  Where is the file that contains my contacts ?  I want to restore my contacts from a CrashPlan previous backup ?

    It's worth a try anyway, in the worst case = an error from Contacts being unable to read the database, you can simply delete the restored files again.
    In such case, or even as a first step, you may try to use the "Import..." procedure by pointing to a *.abcddb database file from your backup.
    Hint: Before system upgrades presenting me with new versions of Contacts or Calendar, I always backup my databases separately as well per "Export..." in archive format. No trouble so far.

  • Where is the file when you export from share to you tube?

    1. where is the file when you export (share) to you tube?
    I want to use the moivie again in another movie or DVD menu or just to save it etc. I cant't find the location after uploading to you tube.
    The only way to this can not be "export to media" or devices and from there to you tube?
    2. Does it make any differances for the quality on you tube wich way you choise?
    thanks, bruce

    Yes, i found it there. In fact; a logic place...
    The second q. means the way you load upo; dirtectly from the menu share to you tube of first make a QT and from there to the sky.
    I quess there must be no differance but you never know...
    Thanks again.
