if you go to www.pc-authority.com you can find the download for xp. to do it you will have to format the harddisk during xp instalation but it will delete everything, alternativly you could run your labtopon highperformance but it will compermise you batteries working time

Disconnect any hardware installed or plugged into your unit since your initial installation of Vista, including anything you have added to the machine if purchased with Vista initially installed.

The Service Pack will hang with some drivers of devices that you may have connected. Considering the point at which your install hangs, the very end of the installation, when basic matters are covered and optional devices are being considered by the installation, and the well known tendency of Vista to conflict with some device drivers, you should seek to have a BASIC install of Vista, before reintroducing external devices and and add-ons to your system like printers, scanners, cameras, external hard drives or burners or even your MP3 device which will hang up the basic installation which you must complete.

See if this works for you, as not enough specific information on your system was supplied to go further, and if you supply specific information as to your system, I and we will be more than happy to assist you further.

To turn it off hold the power button down until it overrides the system and shuts down, it may take a few seconds. If this doesn't work, then remove the battery, then unplug it. Restart the machine and if it's still not working properly get back to me and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction.

Hi,
Maybe this will help you.

Several companies such as AMD and Cyrix are also developing processors which are completely compatible with Intel processors. This means that they are capable of emulating every processor instruction in the the Intel chips.

PROCESSOR HISTORY AND INFORMATION
Below is a listing of all known processor manufacturers made to date. In the below list is information about major processors listed by the date manufactured as well as a brief description of the technology and advances of each of the processors.
INTEL 4004 - Microprocessor introduced in 1970 with the speed of 108KHz was the worlds first microprocessor.
INTEL 8080 - Microprocessor introduced in 1974 running at the speed of 2 MHz was used in the world's first PC, the Altair.
INTEL 8086 (Code Name: P1)- Microprocessor first introduced in 1976. The 80086 had a 16-bit architecture that allowed it to work with 16-bit binary numbers and pass them through a 16-bit data bus. The 8086 was available in clock speeds of 5MHz, 8MHz, and 10MHz.
MOTOROLA 68000 - Microprocessor released in 1979 was later chosen by Apple for the Macintosh computer.
INTEL 8087 - Floating-point math compressor compliant with the 8086 / 8080 microprocessor family.
INTEL 8088 - Microprocessor released in 1979. The 8088 was the first Processor used in the original IBM PC and XT personal computers because it was less expensive than the 8086 microprocessor because of the availability of less expensive eight-bit data bus supporting chips made it the microprocessor for the IBM PC. The 8088 was available in speeds from 4.77 MHz and 8MHz.and used the 16-bit architecture allowing it to work internally with 16-digit numbers. The 8088 had the ability of addressing up to 1MB of RAM.
INTEL 80286 (Code Name: P2) - Microprocessor introduced by Intel in 1982 which commonly is referred to as the 286 processor. The 286 processor supported 16-bit architecture, supported virtual memory, and was available in clock speeds of 8MHz, 10MHz, and 12MHz. The 286 was around 20 times faster than the predecessor 8088.
INTEL 80287 - A compliant processor to the 286, a floating-point math coprocessor. Specially designed 286 chips have the capability of placing the optional 80287 processor on top of it, giving the computer a math coprocessor.
INTEL 80386DX (Code Name: P3) - Microprocessor manufactured in 1985 was the next generation of Intel processors. The 80386DX included the math compressor, unlike the 80386SX, and still featured the 32-bit architecture and built-in multitasking. The chip was available in clock speeds of 16MHz, 20MHz, 25MHz, and 33MHz.
SPARC - Released in 1987 is short for Scaleable Processor ARChiture by Sun - used RISC (Reduced Instruction Set) to speed up processing.
INTEL 80486DX (Code Name: P4) - Microprocessor released April 10th 1989. The 486DX featured a built-in memory cache and 32-bit architecture. It had more than three times the computing power of the 386DX and was available in clock speeds of 25MHz, 33MHz, and 50MHz.
INTEL 80386SX - Microprocessor introduced in 1989 was the next generation of Intel processors. The 80386SX lacked a math coprocessor but still featured the 32-bit architecture and built-in multitasking. The chip was available in clock speeds of 16MHz, 20MHz, 25MHz, and 33MHz.

do it


1.




Use the Windows 2000 CD-ROM or the Windows 2000 Startup disk to start the computer. 2. When you see the "Welcome to Setup" message, press R for "repair." 3. Press C to run the Recovery Console tool. 4. Select the installation that you want to repair. 5. Type the administrator password.

If the computer is a domain controller, type the password for Directory Services Restore Mode when you are prompted to do so.For additional information about the Recovery Console tool, click the article numbers below to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: 239803 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/239803/EN-US/) How to Change the Recovery Console Administrator Password on a Domain Controller 223301 (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/223301/EN-US/) Protection of the Administrator Account in the Offline SAM 6. At the Recovery Console command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after you type each command: cd system32\config
ren system system.old
ren system.alt systemalt.old 7. If you have run the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard from Windows Backup and Recovery tools, copy the backup of the System hive from the %SystemRoot%\Repair\Regback folder.

If you have not run the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard, copy the default System hive from the %SystemRoot%\Repair folder.

IMPORTANT: You need to restore the most recent copy of the System hive. You also need to reinstall any hardware device drivers or programs that run as services that you installed since the last time that you updated your Emergency Repair Disk.

To copy the default System hive, type the following command, and then press ENTER: copy c:\winnt\repair\system c:\winnt\system32\config To copy the System hive that was backed up the last time that you ran the Emergency Repair Disk Wizard, type the following command, and then press ENTER: copy c:\winnt\repair\regback\system c:\winnt\system32\config 8. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER to restart your computer.

On either side of the unit there may be levers you can pull up, or one center lever, otherwise you can generaly prop it up a little bit and it will slide right out (before putting in new memory make sure the mobo can detect it otherwise its a waste of time) make sure to be careful when handling memory, the oil on your fingers can damage the contact and so forth.


Note : a little force is good, if you feel liek you might break it stop! and do NOT use any tools

I had a similar issue with the Armada M700 from Compaq. Never did figure it out exactly. But I do know this. When you unplug the power chord and take out the battery and plug the power chord back in while the battery is out usually for some reason it turned on allowing me to replace the battery which would then begin charging. Your problem interests me because I can really relate!

a47

you have changed the settings
do you see screen of bios?
if yes then u will have to run the machine in safe mode and change the resolution

i think it is also a problem of overheating
you get it checked up with the service center there might be the problem with the motherboard also

you'll get from hp.com

Hello,
Have you made any hardware changes or has there been any event after which it had this problem?
If not, I would start with replacing memory, or if there are two pieces installed, take 1 out try the other, first in 1 slot then the other, then switch to the second piece and rotate. If you have access to known good memory, try that instead.
Hook up to an external monitor and boot up the laptop. If there's an image on the external, then we've got an lcd problem, most likely the inverter.
Other than that, try using only the ac adapter (take the battery out).
If none of these work, weneed to do more technical changes, such as replacing the inverter, etc.
Good luck
