Windows xp on compaq sr1000

i cannot start up even in safe mode or any otyher mode. I have done the F8 and F10 thing and no results. Is there any other method to use?

Hello leeee64, Usually when you cannot get into safe mode, either you have a hardware fault or the operating system is so corrupted that it cannot load.
Can you get into the BIOS and see if the hard drive is recognized. This might be the first approach.
You might also try and download a LInux Live CD, burn a disk, insert the Live CD in the optical drive and see if the Live CD will open the Linux operating system.
If it will, this would suggest a failed hard drive and/or corrupted operating system, but confirm there are no other hardware faults such as a faulty motherboard.
Here is a link where the Live CD software can be found.
Just some thoughts.

Downgrade from Windows 8 to Windows 7 on Compaq 15-h057nl

Hi,
I need to downgrade to Windows 7 my Compaq 15-h057nl.
I followed this steps with no success:
- enabled on bios os legacy support
- boot from my usb windows7 installation pen drive
- it seems all good still I choose "Install" on the menu... it asks for hard disk (or sata controller?) driver :-S but if I click browse I can choose files and folder for my installed hard drive (how can be possible if it asks for driver??).
I tried to export sata driver from windows 8 and I provided it when asked, but i get a BSOD.
No drivers for hard disk or sata controller are available on HP ufficial support page (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=it&cc=it&dlc=it&sw_lang=&product=7399...
How can I solve my problem?
Thanks for the help.

While I don't work for HP, here is how I tell whether or not a notebook is supported for different operating systems.
Go to the support page and click on the W8.1 driver page, and take a look at all the drivers listed.
Now, go back and take a look at the W7 driver page.
You now see significantly less drivers listed there.
I don't know why they bother even listing the W7 operating system, because it is missing many of the essential drivers.
I wish I could help you get W7 installed, but I am not an expert with AMD hardware, and I have seen many, many folks in your situation with AMD notebooks that just can't get W7 to install.
Those are the only drivers I know of that you can use to install the drive controller from, unless you want to try the RAID drivers on that AMD download page. But why your notebook's drive controller would be set to RAID, I would have no idea, unless you have one of those hybrid drives with a SSD cache.
And the specs for your model just state it has a regular 500 GB hard drive.

Yours is one of the moderate models and you will find links to all the drivers you need. My own take on this is you are going in the wrong direction. Instead of back to XP you should go forward to Windows 7, but XP can be made to work on that machine. Good luck and feel free to post back with any more questions.

Microphone not working after upgrading to windows 7 on Compaq Mini 730EA.

My Compaq Mini 730EA came with Wins XP and I have just upgraded to Wins 7 Ultimate 32 bit. My Mic is not working with Windows 7, but it can play sound. When I roll back to Windows XP the mic works, but does not with Wins 7.
Where can I get the appropriate driver for the mic, please. Not driver? Then What should I do?
Thanks much in anticipation.

Since there isn't a driver to download the only thing you can possible do is delete the windows driver that the notebooks installs for the feature.
This is what it will look like.
Go under Human Interface Devices and delete every USB INPUT DEVICE.
Then restart the notebook and it should install the drivers back.
Also, you can follow this document. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01926155&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...

Multimedia audio controller driver for windows 7 on compaq presario r3000

I installed Windows 7 on Laptop Compaq Presario R3000. Everything is fine, however, multi media controller driver was not installed. I would appreciate if you let me know where I can get it. I have Driver CD for Windows XP that came with my computer. Thanks.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You're very welcome.
Looks to me like you have to manually install the XP audio driver as follows...
Download and run this file. If it installs the audio, great. If not...close out of any error windows.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-18403-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
Go to the device manager and click on the multimedia audio controller needing drivers.
Click on the driver tab. Click on Update Driver. Select the Browse my computer for driver software and browse to:
C:\SWSetup\sp27325\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmNV8, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list and see if the driver installs that way.
Then reboot.

Reinstalled Windows on HP Compaq nc2400 & battery will not charge.

I reinstalled Windows XP on a friends HP Compaq nc2400 now the battery will not charge. When I plug in the AC power cord the device manager thinks it is Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet card. I have reinstalled the battery and AC drivers to no avail. Any idea of what might be the issue. I have also tried a spare battery and power cord to no avail.
Thanks in advance.

You're very welcome.
Do you know if the battery was charging beforehand?
Is it possible the contacts on the battery/notebook got bent somehow?
You can try this...
Reset the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery which is basically the driver that communicates between the computer and the battery. There is a chance that it is corrupted.
Step 1. Go to Device Manager
Step 2. Select Batteries
Step 3. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 4. Click Uninstall
Step 5. At the prompt put a check in the box to remove the current driver
Step 6. Shutdown the computer
Step 7: Remove the battery for minute and then put it back in
When the computer comes back up it should automatically find the driver.
Step 8. Go to Device Manager
Step 9. Select Batteries
Step 10. Right click the "Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery" that is listed there
Step 11. Click "Search automatically for updated driver software"
Do the same thing with Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Embedded Controller.

How to get yahoo as e mail server in windows 7 on Compaq Presario CQ57

Just bought this laptop and added firefox as browser. always had yahoo as e mail service on other computers with no problem. I can recieve e mail but cannot send any on this one or a desktop with ubuntu as oper.system. It seems as windows will not allow yahoo email to send out only recieve.

Hi @kvartsnorsk
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I know you are looking for drivers for Windows XP, unfortunately, that notebook was not sold configured for that OS. Drivers are available for windows 7 and 8 (both 32 and 64 bit)
What if I Don't See My Operating System?
As to the USB boot device, it is likely that your usb boot image is not UEFI, so you would have to enable legacy boot in the BIOS to allow for it to boot off of that device.

plz help..!!
reply fast...

Hi:
Please do the following steps and I will post the link to the wifi driver you need...
Go to the device manager and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
You should see the Network Controller device listed under an Other Devices category.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the Network Controller Window.
Now you see a Property drop down list, and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that list and select the second item (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters you see in the window.
If you do not see a Network Controller device, install this software and use it to turn on the wireless card and then see if there is a network controller device.

Cant do system restore Compaq Presario windows XP

HI
I am try to reinstall windows to a Compaq Presario SR1000 windows XP but when I click F10 on boot which is the system restore option it just asked about starting in safe mode etc. (I have tried most of the function buttons but all the same or bios)
the system has been restored once before and there are no programs on the computer for creating new recovery disks.
The D drive recovery partition is still there.
I have looked on the website but can not see any software to install to help other than update.
How Can I do a system restore or create disks if the software is not there.
Thanks

NWM 4.9.8225.pure0, d-link wbr2310, windows vista home on Compaq LT presario cq60

ok here goes...
I use cable to conect to the internet. modem: motorola SB5120
I use a D link WBR 2310 Rev A1 with firmnware 1.0.5 (per thier site the most up to date 9/08)
http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=470
(all components but the items below do not have an issue Eg: 2 desktops [1 wired 1 wireless] 1 wireless printer HP C390A, 2 cellular phones, 1 hp LT with vista)
the problem computers are botrh wireless compaq Lts Presario CQ60 (new.. runnig vista home ed. I fully updated the problem was present pior to updates) they come with Nortons internet security and have the windows firewall...
they use a built in Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g adaptor driver ver. 7.7.0.199
I have Avira antivir personal on both (the issue was presnet before istallation)
I am on the west coast of the USA
ok in short each day when I want to boot up the LTs they will only get limited conection to the network. after hitting repair connection nothing will change(*). I then unplug the router wait the ten seconds and repair connection and all is good.. until... (and I have run some tests)..if the LTs are connected to the network prior to 12:00 AM they will stay connected untill such time as they are shut down. Once shut down, if they are booted up the network is lost, repair wont work and I have to unplug the router again...
in short every day I have to unplug the router for NWM to sync up...
Now if I get one LT on the network (by following the unplugging of roputer above) and later deside to get the second up and runnig I have to unplug the router again... this will cause the first lt to loss connectioin as such I set it up so that both Lts need to go have the roouter unplugged to repair the connection...
* when I stated nothing happens, for example when the other items on the network need to have the connection repaired you can see on the network map the connection Xing out and moving and changing as the repair is underway and items being reset...
in the case of these laptops the Red X only shows on the LT side and does not move or change at all on the map durring the repair process...
for added info.. I have verified both windows firewall and Nortons have exceptions for:
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmsrvc.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmapp.exe"
"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Pure Networks Shared\Platform\nmctxth.exe"
I also added:
C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\nmapp.exe
and I think the other was
C:\Program Files\Pure Networks\Network Magic\Support\nmsprt.exe
any help would be great... as this is getting anoying....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

to date nothing has worked.. compaq/hp have suggested I restore the system... I myself think it is crazy since I have two laptops and one I have only installed 3 items..
1. the printer software...
2. anti virus
3. NWM
other then that it is a clean system...
even then on my other laptop I have only installed maybe 2-3 other programs...
for the restore of the first system...
I am leaving it clean for a few days...
in that I mean I will utilize windows for the wireless connnection to my network...
and I will forgo the anti virus installation and printer installation....
I will get all thee windows updates and compaq updates but I will try to install them one at atime to see if there is any problems
one thing I did nottice on the laptops....
when the systems were booted up in the moring, the network map would show items that were connnected the night before, but not on/connected in the am...
as if the NWM or the system was not refreshing the network status and updating...
also windows firewall and defender would be turned off.... and would need to be turned back on....
Ill keep you posted.... on the clean system...

In-built mic not working after installation of windows 7 on my hp nc8430

So I installed windows 7 on my laptop which originally was running windows xp (hp compaq nc8430) and it turns out that the inbuilt mic is not working and it won't even recognise the SD card that i insert in the card slot. Everything was working perfectly before the installation. I checked the audio devices in control panel and it says the microphone is not plugged in. Also the screen resolution is weird, it won't go above 1024x768, everything is too big for my liking.
Could someone help me out please? Thanks in advance.

Hi:
Does your notebook have an Intel or AMD processor?
If it has an AMD processor, follow the instructions I posted at the link below for how to get the XP audio driver to work.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/multimedia-audio-controller-driver-for-wind...
If it has an Intel processor try doing the same thing but with this driver instead...
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-44349-3&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
You would browse to: C:\SWSetup\sp28552\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmATI, and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio device from the list.
There are no Vista or W7 drivers for the card reader (Base System Device), so try the XP driver. I think it will work.
