You can use Hiren recovery CD (you can found it only on torrent). For file recovery (copy), you can use linux Mint live CD, and copy your files to memory stick. If you share partitions with Samba file sharing (Control Panel) you can scan this computer from another one with antivirus scanner.
You can try going to 'Safe mode with networking' pressing F8 on start of computer (every 1 second, and dos menu will come). From safe mode, you can download ESET (Nod32) antivirus online scanner, and try to fix problem with scanning (use repair option).

hi Roni

what is the model # of the HP notebook ?

do you have the CD recovery media to reisnatll your OS ?
this is best solution

if you dont have the recovery CD set, go to www.restoredisks.com

Replace the keyboard, check here for your model: www.laptopparts.com

1. Connect an external monitor, check if display is OK.
2. If Display is OK, no horizontal lines then your LCD need to replace.
   

During the installation process, you should have been prompted to save certain files and settings. Regardless, you should still be able to set up a network. Go to the start menu (or control panel) and type Network or Network Settings.

You should be given the options for Network and sharing. Here you will be able to set up your network. Remember, Windows 7 is only capable with networking with other Windows 7, or Vista OS systems. Anything older then Vista will not be suffice.

Please let me know if you need further assistance.

IF THE PC OVERHEATS AND SHUTS DOWN THERE IS ONLY TWO THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE 1) CLEAN UP THE VENTS 2) UPDATE THE BIOS http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?product=392741&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&lang=en&cc=us

As long as you have an up to date BIOS, there is no limit to HDD size. If you have Windows XP with service pack 3, then there is also no limit. You can go to the HP support driver site and put in your model in the text box and then your operating system and look for an updated BIOS file for your system. The link is below.....

Go to Programs startup and delete the Acrobat file.

Hi,
This can be due to many factors..

try the following steps..

1. Disconnect the battery and the ac adapter and hold down the power button for 2 Mins. This will drain the static.

2. reseat the memory chips..Its located at the back on the compartment that has an icon that looks line 2 square boxes beside each other. Try with one memory chip at a time.
also reseat the hard drive.

If it still does not work then you may have to get it repaired.

Hope this helps..

If you are logged on with a limited account or with a guest account you will have problems. Also make sure you are not locked out with Windows Steady State running. To solve your issue first make sure you are signed in as the Admin or an Admin. You will experience some problems with these machines because they use something called User Account Control, something HP put in to annoy everyone and prevent users from making critical mistakes when downloading software. You can Turn this off by going to control panel, then to users, and you will see a checkbox there to uncheck under disable UAC. once you do that it may prompt you to restart. thats fine. do that and you will get the machine booted back up. then from there it will pop a little box in the right hand corner of your screen that says your Security Settings have been changed, blah blah blah... just ignore it. Its standard to pop up and tell you that... Then see if you can run your disk or download your items.


When UAC is on you may have to right click your disk or program and select to RUN as Administrator, which will be an option when UAC is activated.

Let me know if that helps! If not, I can still help you

Good Luck!

Unscrew your Laptop HardDrive bay and remove your harddisk first, then try to boot your system wthout the Harddisk inside. If it Boots past the HP Invent Logo Page, then your harddisk is the one that is faulty, if still doesnt, get another good, working RAM, apart from the one in your system, and use it to test your laptop...making sure that the harddisk is still not inside...then if it boots insert your Harddisk back with the new RAM, and restart your system.
If in the first case it boots (i.e wihout the harddisk inside)...then it means your harddrive is faulty, just retrieve your file on it and get a new one.
If in the second case it works (i.e with a new external RAM) then just change your RAM instead.
