Try another Media Player, it may be the File Format. Try this freeware Media Player, VLC, 32 or 64bit?, found here along with Real Player Media Player: http://www.filehippo.com/download_vlc_32/ You can find many freeware/shareware programs here: http://www.filehippo.com/

In case somebody has the same problem. Result of my investigation: * If everything is ok then the Presario CQ61 boots without battery. * HP support recommends to do a hard reset i.e. remove power supply, remove battery, press power button to discharge everything internally, connect power, press power button In my case the problem was solved by changing the AC Adapter (Power supply). Note: The led besides the power connector is not reliable. It is on with the working and faulty adapter. Note: The voltage level at the battery pins is not reliable. I had same values.

Hi, copying copy protected stuff wont do any damage to your drive, best program to use is dvd shrink, but u need nero installed for it to work, u can download dvd shrink free if you search on google.com i would suggest just returning the drive to the shop you purchased it from as its still under warrenty.. All the best John

Using it in English mode? Does that mean that Windows is set to English??

Does it have a standard QWERTY english keyboard?? If it has a japanese keyboard, with windows set to English, then the keys will be different. Shift key with number 2 gives you the @ symbol on a QWERTY english keyboard.

Hard drive is always first priority

If you dont have the disc and the product key for the cyberlink power dvd then i would suggest you an alternative to go ahead and install VLC player which supports all the media files and has all the latest codecs.
To download VLC Player go to the below mentioned link and install the software
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html

Depending upon where you live in the world, this may be perfectly legal...
On the other hand, you might have no recourse, but to buy another copy.

Might I suggest ebay ?

ManualsLib has the user manual for the Compaq CT101 tablet: https://www.manualslib.com/products/Compaq-Ct101-10424542.html . I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

The Numeral Lock mode is turned on by pressing the key named "NUM LOCK" which is usually located on the top of the number keypad (on far right side of keyboard).

However, laptop keyboards are different. Most laptops do not have a separate numeral keypad set. Those laptops usually use a blue (or other color-coded) "Fn" key, on the bottom left. You must press that Fn key at the same time as the "Num Lock" key of same colr. Then a light comes on to indicate the mode change, and some alpha-numeric keys on the keyboard now become your numeral keypad. On mine, it is 789, UIO (456), JKL (123) and M (which is zero).

If this is too confusing, you can plug in a cheap full size desktop keyboard, using the USB or PS2 port on your laptop. That is what I prefer, because the funky integrated dual-key deal interferes with all the touch-typing I learned 37 years ago.

Insert your system disc and reload the OS. Probably Win98 or XP.

only way will be by using a local repair shop old systems make it tough for diyers
