I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment PC. It worked

I have a HP Paviliondv5-1150us notebook Entertainment PC operating Vista. It worked Ok for the first couple of weeks. We installed the service pack and it began acting up. It will no longer stay connected to our HP printer, stopped recognizing USB ports, constantly goes into sleep mode and won't come out and the task manager rarely shuts down a nonresponsive program. We have re-imaged the computer and it only solved the USB port issue. Do I have a lemon or are these probelms common with these HP computers. Any suggestions on how to fix?

If needed you can reboot the computer tapping f8 when it comes up asking to start in safe mode click safe mode with networking and see how it acts and if needed goto start control panel programs and features and in the left column select installed updates and go down to the microsoft section find the service pack that was installed and delete it.
then afterwards restart the notebook and see how it responds back in regular windows after removing the service pack.

It could be a problem with the update. You could have used system restore to go back to before you installed the update. Re-imaging probably cancelled that. I would check for virus' before going any further. Download a program called malwarebytes (free version), install-update and scan. If nothing comes up try the system restore or uninstall the service pack. You can always reinstall it again later.

Hp pavilion dv 9728cl coprocessor driver

This is part of the nvidia chipset driver. Suggest you use this driver website
https://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-dv9700-entertainment-notebook-pc-series/3632106/model/3647029

If you have windows 7 32bit, suggest you use the vista 32bit drivers, since 7 can do vista drivers.

If you have windows 7 64bit, suggest you use the vista 64bit drivers, again 7 can do vista drivers.

Goodmorning.. This is naome from the Philippines. I got this problem with my PC it was infected with this worm/virus named jhowly-bee and I was wondering if my Hp Pavilion Entertainment PC can be converted...

You might try it, if it is already infected with the virus. Make sure it's not a virus that resides in memory or CMOS.

After that, you can format and reinstall with windows XP. There is a program call Driver Genius Professional which will search all the drivers for you.

If it doesn't work, just reinstall the OEM Vista.


Hope it helps.
God Bless You

I have HP Pavilion 9727cl Entertainment notebook. After upgrading to windows 7 from Windows Vista ,it cannot find driver for coprocessor. On HP site they have listed some of their products for which...

haha. very funny. I have upgraded my laptop to windows 7 and am very satisfied with it except for one thing. The scroll keys on the touchpad are no long supported under Windows 7 vs. Vista. So, I was, like you disappointed that this happened. Maybe I should have been satisfied with windows vista, for that part of the computer working under vista but not 7.

I, however, like the windows 7 operating system very much compared to the slower buggier vista operating system.

Good luck on buying new pc or laptop computers that employ windows 7 or above (for the future).

My HP pavillion dv6700 laptops sound doesn't work .... the icon has a re x at the bottom and it says no audio device has been installed; it is only 2yrs. old; can this be resolved or would it be best to...

I believe it can be resolved without purchasing a new laptop.

Windows is a 'funny animal'. Sometimes Windows just looses it. You need to reinstall your audio device Drivers again.

It's Integrated Audio used on the HP Pavilion DV6700T laptop. An audio chip soldered to the motherboard.
Another term used for Integrated Audio is OnBoard Audio.
On the motherBoard.

Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.
Integrated Circuit,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit

(If it wasn't Integrated Audio, it would be a separate audio adapter card. {Sound Card} The audio chip is soldered to an adapter card. The adapter card is removable. This would allow replacing the audio adapter card. Not happening for an HP Pavilion dv6700t laptop)

Drivers are small software programs that allow the Operating System to communicate with the device.
(Windows XP and Windows Vista are two examples of an Operating System. O/S)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver

There is an HP Pavilion DV6700T Entertainment Notebook PC series, and an HP Pavilion DV6700T SPECIAL EDITION Entertainment Notebook PC series of laptops.

I need to know what Operating System you are using. Do I assume Windows Vista? (Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit)

Going with Windows Vista, here is the Audio Driver download page for the Pavilion DV6700T notebook, (Laptop),

http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2093&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3650962

Doesn't matter what version of Vista it is, this audio file is for all versions of Vista.

On the above page left-click on the + sign to the left of -
Driver- Audio (1)

Now go to the right, and left-click on Download, in the rectangular box.

A small box will come up, Opening sp38899.exe
The name of this file is sp38899.exe

Left-click on Save File.

The file will be saved to, where ever your downloads are set to save to. The file needs to be found, then opened in order to work.

When you see the audio file (sp38899.exe) Double-click on it.
The Windows Installation wizard will lead you through installing.

If you are asked to restart your computer, do so.
If not, restart your computer.

Hp pavilion entertainment pc tx2032la microphone is always on when you plug in the headset there is an echo

I'm assuming your running vista Premium - go to control panel - audio - selected properties - recording - mute it to 50% when in operation then apply close and reboot. this should restrict the sensitivity of the inbuilt microphone - if you have upgraded to W7 you will need to upgraded the audio driver package using the vista audio drivers unless there is one on the HP website.
