Here's the directions from HP: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=bph07145

When you turn it on, watch your screen carefully. It is F11 as best as I know. You only have about 3 seconds to push it though. Save your photos and music as you will lose all extras.

You'd be better off doing a complete rebuild from the bottom up, case and all. That is a very old machine.
2 :
You need a micro ATX motherboard. Go to this site: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?SrchInDesc=micro&Page=1&Category=20&N=2010200280+4025&Submit=ENE&Nty=1&SubCategory=280 It has a list of boards that will fit. You will probably need a better power supply than the one that is in it; at least a 350 watt. You can get that at this site also.
3 :
You cant upgrade the motherboard or PSU and several other components on a prebuilt PC like a Dell or HP. Why? Proprietary components (non standard) Your better off buying a new PC. Edit: Pentium 1 or higher?

3 :
Try contacting the person you bought the laptop from and see if they know the admin password. If the seller does not know it then, unfortunately, you will have to reinstall the operating system, regardless if it is Windows or Linux.
4 :
Never buy a used PC without a legal factory supplied copy of Windows or the factory Recovery Disks (AND the PC User Manual). Assuming you have one of them, RTFM. The User Manual explains exactly how to reset your PC to "Factory Fresh". This will remove all the former owner's passwords, installed programs and data.

sometimes you can reboot into safe mode and turn off the password. if you can't then you'll have to reinstall windows or whatever OS

2 :
I'm assuming you mean the basic dm3 model. Overall it's a pretty good laptop(about a 7 out of 10 stars on my scale). The battery life for it is tremendous, about 7+ hours of continuous video playback. It has 2 gigs of ram, a 500 GB hard-drive, and an Intel core 2 1.3GHz processor so it should handle nicely with minimal lag time. One downside is that the basic model does not come with an optical drive so if that will be an issue you might have to look to the sometimes pricey upgraded versions. The other downside is that the touch pad isn't the most comfortable thing to use, though a $10 wireless mouse solves that problem. Over-all it is a beautiful looking laptop, nicely thin and light (only about 4.1 lbs). I cannot say if I recommend it though because I don't know what your specific computing needs are. If you would like to provide a little more info about what you need it to do I might be able to better help you.

I think the video card comes with the processor. You can also check Hewlett-Packard.com and check the type of the computer you want and the information should be there under that particular computer if not you can also contact them by Customer Service number on their website.
2 :
All hp's are upgradable. Check out their website on how to install specific components. It is easy. But, If you already need to upgrade, buy the upgraded version. It is cheaper in the long run.
3 :
Neither the processor or the graphics card are easily upgradeable, if at all on a laptop.. If you are buying a new computer, you have the option of buying better components that are factory installed, but once you buy a laptop, usually only the memory is easily upgradeable.

Dell has pretty cruddy support no matter what they say. But they have great computers. IBM Sucks dont go near them, that is my opinion. HP is awesome. I really like them. MY NUMBER ONE CHOICE!
2 :
Dell use propietary parts HP is moving away from that , but they do make cheap but pretty good computers, they are not feature filled IBM is the big iron, they no longer do small pcs
3 :
Let me repost my previous answer and it might help you: Let me start by enumerating why you should not but these brands: 1.) HP/Compaq - does not have good quality control of parts from supplier like optical drives, TFT's etc. According to a supplier (I can not mention names), he said that he is pissed off with DELL because they reject 40 to 50% of his optical drives due to quality issues but happy with HP because he accepts them with a discount. I have two of this before an Armada M300 & HP Pavillion and sold them both after having so much problems and no help from stupid HP. Don't buy this. Offer this to your enemy. 2.) IBM - which is now LENOVO. I have so many customer complaints about IBM notebooks now. It seems it's not as good as the original thinkpad and getting replacement parts is very difficult. A Lenovo officer informed me that they have so many internal problems because the owners are concentrating on margins rather than customer satisfaction. Remember Lenovo bought IBM PC's & Laptops and they want to get their money back fast. 3.) ACER - This is a clone company trying hard to play in the branded market. This brand has been failing technical testing from large corporate customer. A lot of business establishments does not recognize this brand and wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. 4.) Toshiba - This is actually a good brand. Because they only concentrate on the portables. Known for their quality but a lot of times very pricy. Check for the nearest support center and the parts are a little bit hard to get hold of. 5.) Fujitsu - expensive Japanese made notebook but I honestly do not recommend it. 6.) Sony VAIO - Now this brand & model is very good but it's too rich for my blood. It's like buying a Porsche but a regular Ford is already OK for the same job. I had one of this before and I sold it. 7.) DELL - For me this is the best buy and good value for money. I've seen how DELL assembles and test their units and they are so bloody strict. If they find fault in one component they stop the assembly line (liking stopping the presses) remove the ssuspected batch problem and replace it with another batch and they could do that in less than 2 hours and test them again and again. Their back-end or support is fantastic. DELL was the first one who informed the world of the battery problem which they get from Sony. They have the website and replaced the battery fore free. Only after several months later other brands follow and finally admit it. I am so sorry but I started using DELL only May this year and it extremely good. I have torture tested it and never failed on me. Good luck and so sorry for the long comments.

Had Compaq laptops for years before HP took 'em over. GREAT tech support back then. Late experiences with HP laptops has ben good. Built pretty well, haven't needed to call Tech Support. One thing, though. Don't buy the low end units. Spring for the more "professional" models, equipped with XP. They are usually a little more robust and trust me you should have XP Pro if U R gonna use Windows. Spring for the service contract IF THE CALL CENTER FOR THAT SERVICE IS N THE US. You usually then don't get someone in Bangladesh if U have to call, and if you don't speak Urdu, as I do not, you can have a conversation with the tech. Hope this helps, -- Doc
2 :
HP and Compaq are the same company, so their products are very similar, except HP is usually a tad bit more expensive Pros: 1. Relatively inexpensive 2. Customizable on their website. 3. Costco carries them 4. Generally Reliable Cons: 1. not much here, the only one i would say is that HP/Compaq does not offer the top of the line graphics card for gaming.
3 :
Hewlett Packard
4 :
They are both made by the same company, Hewlett Packard. I see more HP boxes vs the Compaq in my daily work. I prefer the HP. Mostly because they have been around a lot longer than the Compaq's and HP has always made machines from Servers and tape backup units to printers. Plus HP puts more into the HP line and not so much in the Compaq line.

look on the bottom of your latop there will be cd icon somewhere imprinted in the bottom case. It will point to a screw and you have to take that screw out and then push in on the cd tray and it will pop out. If it does not pop out than insert a paper clip into the hole in the cd tray cover and it will pop open and pull on it jently outward. Make sure you take the screw out before pulling on it like this. Make sure you get the exact same optical drive or one that is compatable with your model from the manufacturer because unlike a desktop pc where virtually any optical drive is inter changeable it is not the case with laptops. I've seen where a optical drive causing strange problems. Good luck.

After taking a look at the specs, I'd say that this notebook will play CS:S fairly comfortably. I'm not sure how comfortable, but as long as your getting at least 30 FPS, you shouldn't get any video lag. The processor is good enough, the graphics card has a 425Mhz shader clock, which should play source engine games well enough to get 30 FPS at least. Probably as high as 70 or more.' Now for the OTHER source of lag. Your ping. Even though this laptop has integrated wireless, I'd still use a hard line ethernet cable when gaming, unless you're laptop is REALLY close to the wireless router.

the brains of any corporation shouldnt be butting heads, and thats exactly how Palin and McCain are going to be
4 :
Why should they be? HP probably recruits people who have previous corporate experience, PhD's in economics or accounting or finance, and a proven record of making profits for companies. This is how you take experience seriously. When thinking about the presidency, you need a candidate who has previous government leadership experience, not business leadership experience. You need a person with a military background to be commander in chief. You need someone who has held a top executive position in the government, and governors are always the best picks for that.

Yes, that was a bit of a blunder wasn't it. I understand what she was saying but she probably shouldn't have gone there. Fiorina tried to recant the statement later.

11 :
Neither one is qualified to run anything. Intelligence and good ideas are vital to being effective in successfully running any large operation. McCain and Palin are lacking in both and Palin is also lacking in knowledge.

I think McCain or Palin are better qualified to run a major corporation then Obama or Biden. You really do not want to go down the "who has more experience" road. The democratic ticket is extremely light on that.

Corporations are about greed and marketing, so it is good if they would not run a Corporation.

The T and the Z stood for the Intel or AMD model. Yes HP is the top seller and gives great bang for the buck. A good review on my source link. I own a V2403NR. Think it has to do with the components installed.
3 :
The NR letters are typically used to denote a setup found at Best Buy. Models may be slightly different from other stores models or the same. CompUSA usually uses US on the same model number. It is so the stores can claim exclusive / special models as well as not having to price match different stores.

Take it to a shop. Power supplies cost about $50 and up. It's easy for them to tell you is the PSU is dead or not.

Hewlett packard Model m8034n

Will a Hewlett packard model m8034n receive a wireless signal?
I was told it did NOT need a router since it was wireless. but does that only mean wireless mouse & keyboard or does that mean wireless like a laptop? Do I need a wireless adapter? I have a router LINKSYS-"G" but it will not rout anything to my HP. Any help???? thanks ya'll.

I'm assuming it more than likely doesn't. If the computer is more than 1.5 to 2 years old it doesn't. If you want to run a wireless signal to it, you can buy a wireless card or usb adapter to install in it. Then you can receive a wireless signal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=wireless+cards&x=0&y=0 Cards are faster than usb adapters, but if you don't want to open your computer to install it, go with the wireless usb adapter. But if you don't need to go wireless, stay connect with a cable to your modem. Its much faster, and safer.

Dell makes the Latitude XT TabletPC that uses the same N-Trig screen technology as the TX2. Also, Lenovo makes the new X200 that also shares the same screen. Either are great choices, but the Dell is quite expensive.

When you turn it on, watch your screen carefully. It is F11 as best as I know. You only have about 3 seconds to push it though. Save your photos and music as you will lose all extras.

You'd be better off doing a complete rebuild from the bottom up, case and all. That is a very old machine.
2 :
You need a micro ATX motherboard. Go to this site: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?SrchInDesc=micro&Page=1&Category=20&N=2010200280+4025&Submit=ENE&Nty=1&SubCategory=280 It has a list of boards that will fit. You will probably need a better power supply than the one that is in it; at least a 350 watt. You can get that at this site also.

You cant upgrade the motherboard or PSU and several other components on a prebuilt PC like a Dell or HP. Why? Proprietary components (non standard) Your better off buying a new PC. Edit: Pentium 1 or higher?

Try contacting the person you bought the laptop from and see if they know the admin password. If the seller does not know it then, unfortunately, you will have to reinstall the operating system, regardless if it is Windows or Linux.
4 :
Never buy a used PC without a legal factory supplied copy of Windows or the factory Recovery Disks (AND the PC User Manual). Assuming you have one of them, RTFM. The User Manual explains exactly how to reset your PC to "Factory Fresh". This will remove all the former owner's passwords, installed programs and data.

sometimes you can reboot into safe mode and turn off the password. if you can't then you'll have to reinstall windows or whatever OS

Hewlett-Packard AMB

Which brand of laptop would you get, gateway or hewlett-packard?
I am using it for college, surfing net, digital camera stuff, listening to music, etc. Which brand has the least problems overall? My two choices of laptops are between a Hewlett-Packard AMB Turion 64 mobile technology ML-37 model DV5224NR or a Gateway Platinum Edition Notebook with AMD Turion̢㢠64 Mobile Technology ML-37 Model: MX6455

2 :
I would choose the HP because Gateway has slipped in the last few years. They've closed all their stores and you don't see ads like you did in the 90's.
3 :
Neither one. A dell explodes much better
4 :
Well, I have gateway and think it is awesome but HP is also real good. I would ask a computer expert or someone at the store about it.. they can help better. either way both laptops are great.
5 :
I would go for an Acer http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16834115250
6 :
Do you realy have to choose between the two? But anyway you may want to consider Dell brand... :~)
7 :
I have a gateway, im in college, and it has work fine. I love it. But it all depends in you.
8 :
Stay away from HP. Quality is poor and they are a bear to get repairs on once out of warranty. My wife's HP laptop went to the shop four times under warranty (yes, in ONE YEAR) and then went to an indepdent shop twice more before we got rid of it. Gateway is all right. Nothing great. Dell will cost less and probably work better. Best laptops (right now) are Lenovo Thinkpads and Sony Vaios. (Not counting Macs, but I'm assuming you want a pure PC -- even though current Macs CAN boot Windows...) Toshiba is a good bet for an inexpensive laptop as they are generally high quality and easy to configure. Dell is always a popular option, but keep in mind, there's a reason they're so cheap. The premium on a Thinkpad will get you better support and a better machine.
9 :
I have an HP, which has been sent back three times for repairs. Now it's past warranty and it needs to go in again - all for the same reason - where the ac adapter plugs in, it quits making the connection so the battery can't charge.
10 :
Skip those two and go with Dell
11 :
I have always found Toshiba to be a good value and highly reliable.
12 :
That's a tough question. I own an HP laptop that I am very happy with, and support about 150+ Gateway notebooks at my job. In my experience, Gateway has provided me with excellent service, high quality equipment, and an excellent website for help, driver upgrades, and technical support. I'd say Gateway, simply from my own extensive experience with them.
13 :
With so many choices out there I can see why people people have a difficult time choosing. I have used and worked on all brands and while Dell, Gateway and Hewlett Packard are great companies to deal with I have recently swayed my personal opinion over to HP. Technology changes so rapidly and the type of work I do I needed a laptop which was capable of being "a portable pc" with the latest and greatest. After extensive research Hp offered more bang for my buck and I absolutly love my new lap top. I chose a pentium 4 processor good stuff
14 :
I wouldnt go with either of these cheap pieces of shit.

Dell: I think macs are hard 2 use and they dont run Windows!!! HP's suck period.
4 :
Apple (iMac) uses OSX not XP so if you want XP (and who wouldn't want all those viruses and security flaws - keeps life interesting) then cross the iMac off your list. Nothing much to choose between Dell & HP as brands. You need to compare specific models against your desires and budget.

Hewlett Packard 17 inch screen notebook

Which display should I get on a hewlett packard 17 inch screen notebook?
There are 3 kinds 1. Brightview 1440x900 resolution which is included in the price 2. Brightview 1680x1050 resolution which costs 50 more dollars 3. Ultra Brightview 1440x900 resolution which is an extra 125 dollars and also i'd like to look at the differences myself before i fork out the money how would i do that? I'm ordering online!

Honestly, I used to work for Hewlett-Packard before they became HP Invent (compact). Do not purchase one of their laptops, you'll regret it. This is not the old HP quality, this is cheap, made in China cra*. If you insist on tossing your money away, you'll not be able to use any resolution greater than 1024X768 without straining your eyes. Laptops don't make good gaming machines so you don't need the super, can power a 32 inch wide screen HDTV capability.
2 :
I would go with the 1680x1050 which is what I have. It is equivalent to 1280x1024 on a non wide screen monitor. I don't find it hard to read text and it makes it easier to work with to programs side by side such as excel and word. The differences between the brightveiw and ultra brightview is the ultra has two lamps behind the screen instead of one. I have not seen the ultra version so I cant tell you if it looks better but I have heard that it does. The drawback is that it will use more power so when you are running on the battery it won't last as long. The best way to tell the difference would be to go to best buy or a place like it that has hp laptops.
3 :
It seemed that you are bent in getting an HP. Just a suggestion, get one with three (3) years warranty from HP. You'll thank me for it. For me getting the Ultra Brightview is fantastic but just as a precaution, it uses a lot of battery power just to illuminate your 17" TFT Screen. What I can advise you is that look at all three monitors and just choose which one is kind to your eyes. Anyway you will be the one using them. Good luck and hope I helped a little!

you will need to install them again from the original disk. applications get installed into windows so you cant just copy and paste files across

2 :
No. You can update your window vista to window 7.
3 :
to my knowlage you can't do that
4 :
Back up CDs are set up for the machine it came with. Drivers will be different and it may have been modified by the vendor (Dell, Packard Bell, etc.) Most of the time it will not install because it searches for a specific hardware key to let it know it is on the correct type of machine. If it is a Retail or full version of XP you would be OK... as long as you have the product code to enter and you would still need to update the drivers. Dell CDs are not interchangeable with other systems.

It may be that he chose to outout to an external monitor instead of the built in lcd panel. It depends on which model you have, so try a few different combinations. For example, often either Fn + F3, Fn + F5, Fn + F8, or Fn + F9 You may have bad hardware or a bad driver. Shut down completely. Wait a few secs, then turn on. Do you see the mfgrs splash screen? Hit f8. Do you see the boot menu? If so, the lcd panel and the video subsystem are physically OK. Choose safe more and bring it up. Again, if you see stuff, you're going to be OK and you probably just need to install a driver. If it is giving you a black screen at startup and a small curser in the upper left, your motherboard cannot see your hard drive. Go into the bios and check that it is OK or run a quick dignostic. In many systems, diags are hidden in f12 at startup. Does anyting appear on an external monitor. If so, the LCD panel is bad and the video card OK. If not, then the video card is bad.

what do you mean sold out. They merged in 2002!

They will all be compatible anyway. Theres nothing special about these brands. They all just buy the same components put them in a pretty box and write their name on it. As they dont actually make the computer parts like the motherboard themselves they all have to be compatible with each other so anyone can use them to make a computer.
3 :
HP and Compaq have merged. Accessories with standard connectors are always compatible, such as USB, PS2, et cetera. Accessories with custom HP or Compaq connectors will most likely not be compatible, such as power supplies.

Yes, the two companies merged back in 2001 http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2001/010904a.html As for the 2nd part of your question, it would depend on the specific accessory, the version of the accessory, the operating system, driver availability, etc.
