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.

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.

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'll have to reinstall them, so make sure you have the original CD or original downloaded setup file.
3 :
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
4 :
agree, or you can use a flash drive also, in vista run the program compatibility wizard run as if it was running windows 98

according to the hp website their higher end and media center computers have a couple of options Choices: 1. ATSC-NTSC TV tuner with PVR, FM tuner, remote 2. Dual ATSC-NTSC TV tuner, PVR, 1 FM tuner, remote 3. ATI TV Wonder external digital cable tuner + internal TV tuner --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I recently purchased the HP M8300F its a great system and it has the Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 with combo ATSC/QAM So far I`ve had no issues with the Media Center and it has worked flawlessly, I`ve had this system since Feb 24th 2008, got it with the 22 in w2207h widescreen flat panel, all in all I paid just under $1,000.

No way. That disc is made for the Dell only. Learn how to tweak Vista. It is far superior than XP. Go here but I would not do number 3 or 7. http://mostlysavingmoney.com/top-10-windows-vista-speed-tweaks/
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.

Is it true Compaq sold out to Hewlett Packard?
Is it true Compaq sold out to Hewlett Packard?
Does that make Compaq accessories compatible with hp products?

what do you mean sold out. They merged in 2002!
2 :
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.
4 :
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.
