Why won't my hp pavilion all in one not play dvds or games?(It does play a game from 2000.)

Product Name: Hp Pavilion all in one I don't know the product number.
Operating System: Windows 7 64-bit
It says insert disc each time
No upgrades before the issue

Hi,
The following procedure will test if your PC can start from a bootable disc in the CD/DVD drive - the advantage of trying this is that it will rule out any possible Windows driver error as the CD/DVD drive is under the control of the Bios when starting the PC.  So if you find that the PC will not boot from the CD or DVD, then it's almost certainly a Hardware fault in the optical drive itself and it will need to be replaced.
Using another PC to create a Windows 7 Rescue CD and DVD.  Download the ISO from the link below.
Windows 7 64bit
You need use an application such as ImgBurn to correctly burn the ISO to a CD and then also burn it to a DVD - a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is Here.  Once created, insert the CD and then restart the PC and see if it boots from this disc - if it does, let the first screen come up ( this will show repair options etc ) then just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart the PC again to see if it will also boot from this disc.  If the PC will not boot from the CD, it may just load straight into Windows, in which case, just remove the CD, insert the DVD and restart to see if it will boot from this disc.
Let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

  • HP Pavilion All in One Not Detecting External Monitor

    Hello I have an HP Pavilion All in one 23-g010 running windows 8
    I purchased a VGA to USB adapter so that I could connect my external HP 2009m monitor and it worked just fine. I had to reset my computer and I used System Image Recovery everything else works fine except now when I plug in the adapter and click on Share it says " Nothing Can be Shared From this Desktop" When I look under Screen resolution it just says Generic Non-PnP Monitor and wont allow me to select anything else.  I tried downloading drivers but it just says my computer doesnt meet not meet the minimum system requirements to install the driver. I am at a loss as to what to do, I work at home and dual monitors is a must.
    Thank you for any help

    Did you create the "Windows System Image" before you purchased the USB-to-video adapter??? After preforming the System Image Recovery, did you install the drivers for the USB-to-video adapter??? The drivers for the adapter should have been included with the adapter or are available on a 3rd party website.
    If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

  • Why won't an hp F4480 all-in-one printer install on an imac running mavericks?

    I researched this printer before I tried to install it. According to both the Apple and HP websites, the driver for it is already included in Mavericks, and no driver downloads were necessary. I followed the instructions I found on the HP site to install the printer with a USB connection, and the imac picked up the printer as an HP 4400 series, but in spite of that the printer was not listed in the Add menu where it was supposed to be. I tried using the generic printer driver, and it did not work when I tried to send a print job. There was no error message, but the document sinply never made it to the print queue. I had to reset the printing settings to remove the printer since it wasn't working. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a solution?

    This is my first Mac, and I just set it up, so I am new to all of this. If there is something I am not understanding, I apologize.
    If I go to the app store and check for updates, it shows that no updates are available. There is a list of updates that were installed yesterday, the day I turned it on, but some of them have an x next them. Safari, itunes, ibooks and digital raw have the x, while garageband, pages, numbers and keynote have icons next to them in the list of updates. Does that mean the ones with the x did not really update? Would that somehow affect whether or not the HP driver I need would show up when I install the printer? As far as I can tell the OS is updated. I checked the version in system information and it is 10.9.2.

  • My HP Pavilion All-in-One shuts down during certain computer games. Any ideas why?

    My HP Pavilion All-in-One is a year old, and has started shutting down on certain PC games and on one online game, Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why or what I can do to prevent this? The games were not from original disks, don't know if that has anything to do with it or not. We have uninstalled them, but may buy originals if this would make any difference. Thanks

    Linda, welcome to the forum.
    It sounds like a heat problem to me.  Most laptops and All-in-ones are frankly not meant for gaming.  Also, you could try installing any patches that are available for the games.  This could be part of the problem if not the heat.

    Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
    Verify that the contact you are attempting to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
    If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and re-create the contact in the Contacts application. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
    Back up and restore your device as new.
    Best of luck,

  • My HP Pavilion All-in-One often shuts down during PC games.

    My HP Pavilion All-in-One is just a year old. It shuts down more and more frequently with PC games like Age of Empires and Age of Titans, and the online game Wizards 101. Can anyone tell me why and what I can do about it? The games were not from original disks and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Thanks

    Thank you, reducing the image size worked! I had used a low res file before, and with success decided to increase the resolution/size, and then it didn't work. the image did appear in small preview in the export panel, but wouldn't burn when all was said and done. the dimensions you gave worked fine. unfortunately, it makes the image a little bit fuzzy, but i dont think i can do anything about this. at least it burned it in there. thanks!

  • Can you use Dual Monitors on an HP Pavilion "All-In-One" Desktop?

    Hello,
    Just seeing the words "dual monitors" on the forum makes me realize I have several extra flatscreen monitors sitting around and I always loved them at work. I have an HP Pavilion All-In-One Desktop and is it possible to run dual monitors on an All-In-One desktop and what would I need in the way of accessories (cables, etc.) to be able to do that, if it's possible? Thanks in advance for any help!

  • Fan always running on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W)

    The fan on my HP Pavilion All-in-One 200-5000 (model #2MD0400F1W) seems to be always running (and it's not quiet). I believe I'm running the latest BIOS and I've already checked to make sure the air vents are clear. I'm not running any memory or processor intensive applications. Any suggestions how to reduce how long and frequently the fan seems to be running? Thanks.

    Hello @jmgoldsmith,
    I understand that you are having issues with the fan always running on your HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000 Desktop PC. I would be happy to assist you, but first I would encourage you to post your product number for your computer the number you provided is not a product number (example : HP Pavilion All-In-One 200-5000t CTO Desktop PC has a product number of BN997AV). I am linking an HP Support document below that will show you how to find your product number. As well, if you could indicate which operating system you are using. And whether your operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit as with this and the product number I can provide you with accurate information.
    How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
    Which Windows operating system am I running?
    Is the Windows Version on My Computer 32-bit or 64-bit?

  • New hard disk for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

    I need to get af new hard disk drive for my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc. I have great difficulties in getting in touch with HP denmark since my product is out of waranty.
    My questions is if the PC can handle a disk larger than my current on on 500 GB. Further more I am not sure about other potential limits the PC could have ini regards to speed and other parameters on a new disk drive
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    As your computer is out of warranty, please purchase a 500GB - 2TB 3.5" SATA2 or 3 hard drive from an online or local retailer. If the new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive, you may have issues using the HP Recovery Media you created or purchased.
    If this is the case and you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.
    Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE. (Download the Windows 7)
    Direct link to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. (Use to create the media from the ISO)

  • Maximum RAM for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

    Since my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc is getting increasingly slow - even after releasing space on the hard-drive I am researching on the possibility for a RAM upgrade.
    The Pavillion ins "born" with 2 GB RAM in the slots and 2 GB virtual RAM.
    My question if I can subsitute the one or both the RAM blocks with 2GB block. In that way I will get 3 or 4 Physical RAM instead of 2.
    I assume that will increase the performance a great deal

  • Hp pavilion all-in-one green screen problems

    I purchased a brand new 23 inch HP pavilion all-in-one, set it up and used it for 3 or 4 days but kept getting GREEN SCREENS on face book videos and other websites...had to reboot constantly to correct the problem but after a few hours it returns. I phoned the store & they said it was a defective computer, so I packed it all up & returned it to the store & got the EXACT SAME COMPUTER & now I'm having the identical problem, so I phoned HP & a technician did some minor changes, rebooted it thru remote access and said 'there all fixed' but later that day the problem returned AGAIN. I heard this issue is due to INCOMPATIBILITY BETWEEN FLASH & WINDOWS 7/8, so either windows needs to fix it...or HP needs to fix it...PLEASE HELP YOUR CUSTOMERS so we don't have to reboot constantly!

    Hello again @Nordic4U,
    Actually if you restart and the problem goes away temporarily then I suspect that you have a 3rd party application making a change that is causing this issue. I am providing you with an HP Support document: Using Microsoft System Configuration (Windows 8), which will walk you through disabling all non-Microsoft Services and your Startup Items. If the problem goes away at this point then we know you have a 3rd party application causing your issue.
    Now you need to narrow it down till you find the problem. You can do this by enabling 50% of the Services and see if the issue is still fixed. If it is you know it is not one of them and you can continue enabling the Services and Startup Itmes until you indentify what is causing your issue.
    Please re-post if you require additional support. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
