Why does the HP screen remain on so long when I boot up my computer? (It started this recently.)

When I first bought my HP Pavillion P6000 Series computer (Model No. 6680t), running Windows 7 64-bit, it booted up quickly. Recently, after downloading HP updates, the HP screen remains on for several minutes before Windows boots up. My questions: What is the computer doing while the HP screen is on, and How can I get around this delayed boot-up?

Hello,
I would like to strongly recommend that you update your version of Flash Player to our currently released version (17.0.0.169) and enable auto updates.  The version you are using is insecure and opening your computer (and all of your data) to being easily exploited by bad guys.
As for the error you are receiving, this is most likely a restriction from the website.  Each developer is able to specify what the required minimum version of Flash and require their users to have at least that version installed.  The detection that is occuring and the message that you are seeing on the website isn't part of Flash Player, but instead part of the website's code.
If you go to this page and click the "Check Now" button, what is displayed (OS, browser and version number)?  Do you see the "tree" animation playing below?
Flash Player Help
Thanks,
Chris

    I've tried contacting Adobe, but they're ways of contacting them are a pain in the ***. The chat doesn't work and I'm on hold forever when I call.

    go to Tools, add-ons, then only disable java 6.0.22 ONLY, then you have to click on restart. That solved my problem.

  • Why does the Linksys WRT54G router REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?

    Why does the Linksys WRT54G REQUIRE a hostname when it's never used?
    I can't find a single use for the router hostname, yet the Linksys WRT54G version 5 firmware v1.00.6 wireless router REQUIRES a hostname, even though nothing actually uses that hostname.
    Why does the router require a hostname (why can't we just leave that field blank)?

    Date: Sun, 8 Jul 2007
    To: [email protected]
    From: "Debbie Hurley"
    Subject: "Unnecessary Router Name Requirement" bug in WRT54G V5
    This is to report a bug in the "Setup", "Basic Setup"
    tab, "Router Name" field
    (https://10.2.18.20/basic.htm) in the otherwise
    wonderful Linksys WRT54G V5 wireless router (firmware
    revision 1.02.0).
    As you are aware, a router is a security and privacy
    device; as such, it should not require identifying
    information if that identifying information is not
    needed nor used by the user or their ISP.
    Such is the case with the "router name" field.
    In the case of the "Unnecessary Router Name
    Requirement" bug, I am reporting to you (and to the
    associated Linksys forums at forums.linksys.com) the
    Router Name field should NOT be required. It should be
    an option to leave the Router Name field blank.
    The fact that the router name field MUST exist
    (whether or not it is actually used or desired), is an
    obvious security and privacy flaw in the otherwise
    wonderful Linksys WRT54G router. Please fix this bug.
    Thank you very much,
    D. Hurley

  • Why does the new MacBook Pro 13 no longer come with a graphics card?

    Why does the new MacBook Pro no longer come with a graphics card?  Or at least make it so you can opt for one.

    I know how you feel. Your MacBook Pro has integrated graphics 384 MB or 512 MB. If you are a gamer, creative professional or just want more VRAM get a 15 inch MacBook Pro with up to 1 gig of VRAM or a windows gaming laptop with up to 16 gigs of VRAM (a ridiculous amount!). If you get a windows pc, you can always install virtual box. There is no point in buying a 13 inch MacBook Pro unless you need a lightweight laptop with all of the extra "goodies". There is also no possible way to change the graphics unless you know how to "unhook" the card from the processor and install a new one. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Why does the on-screen keyboard disappear once a Bluetooth device has been attached?

    Once I've connected a bluetooth device to my ipad 2, the on-screen keyboard disappears and doesn't return until I re-start the ipad.  I've tried this with both a bluetooth keyboard, as well as with a bluetooth pedal, which will do page up, page down, right and left arrows, etc.

    Reset your phone , you wont lose anything. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

  • HT1600 why does the apple TV say theres no connection when I have it?

    Why does my apple TV want to recognize my internet password? and what does -39092 mean?

    Hi MLFO!
    I have some information here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue a little further. The article is about Wi-Fi connections and the Apple TV, and can be found here:
    Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
    Follow the steps provided in that article and you should be well on your way toward resolving this issue. It may also be necessary or helpful to reference this article as well, which contains some useful settings for your Wi-Fi router so that it will connect to iOS and OS X devices more easily:
    iOS and OS X: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points

    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • Why does the CS6 Master Collection Suite take up so much RAM on a computer??

    so, if, i brought the CS6 Master Collection Suite i would need more RAM on my computer right?
    because, my apple computer only has 4GB of memory and that program needs 4GB of RAM.
    I would need to add more memory to my apple computer say upgrade it to maybe 8GB of RAM??
    But, i don't understand why does that suite need so much memory or RAM on a computer??
    could i just only download the programs i really need onto my apple laptop and maybe that
    would free up some memory or RAM so that the program wouldn't  end up using all of the memory
    on my computer could i just do that??

    Mzpretty3 you can find the system requirements for CS6 Master Collection at http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-system-requirements.html#CS6_Master_ Collection_system_requirements.  For Mac OS we recommend a minimum of 4 GB of RAM and if you are going to do heavy photo or video editing then you will want to have at least 8 GB of RAM available.
    Please also be aware that the installation will require at least 15.5 GB of hard drive space.  This is separate from the amount of RAM which you have installed.

  • Why does the text in text boxes go invisible when annotating PDFs in preview?

    If I hover my mouse over where the text box is, the little yellow box that tells you what text is there comes up and shows what the box is supposed to say, but the text is invisible. If I double click the area where the text is supposed to be, it highlights and makes the text visible again. Its not that the text is white, because if i drag it over a dark area, it still doesn't show up. This happens when I open it up again after annotating and saving/closing it. I attached pictures of my cursor hovering over the invisible text box, and one of it hovering over an unaffected text box, for comparison. This has happened to me before. What is happening and how do i stop it?

    But, about half the time, when i am finished typing and click out of the box, back to view the result, the text does not appear. If i go back to Edit Content within the box, it is there, but disappears when i exit the box. It does not print when i print a test sheet.
    The fact that 'about half the time' you are seeing this issue and presumably not the other part of the time, I would suggest trying to run the 'Repair Database' option in the First Aid dialog:
    Quit Aperture > press and hold Option + Command keys while launching Aperture > select and run the 'Repair Database' option.
    Post back as needed.

  • Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

    When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

    I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
    The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line.  Of course, this prevented me from using it properly.  I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences.   The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings.  Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before.  I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program.  I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
    The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening.  However, I hope this is fixed in a patch.  I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading.    For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

  • Why does the song i downloaded keep asking me to authorize it for my computer, and when i do it plays a differant song

    I downloaded Fast AS You from I-Tunes. When I click on it to play it a pop up box says I have to authorize the song for my computer and asks for my password. When I enter my pass word it plays 6th Avenue Heartache. Over and over, even after a reboot it does the same thing. Any ideas?
    Thanks, Don

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.
