Re: This operating system is not supported by this application

Sorry, I know nothing about PB machines, but my guess is that this is some holdover from the Win10 Upgrade that does not run under Win10.

 

I would open Task Manager and see what is running and see if you can determine which task is doing this.

 

If you can, you can then go into startup options and disable that app from launching anymore.

 

Good Luck

Re: pavilions a610e needs files?

Those fixes look like they'll work, but. I need ones I can download to a thumb drive So far that;s the only way to copy or add files, and the machine is not capable of connecting to the internet. Those files are also missing. Ultimately, if I can fix it, it will be used exclusively for CAD and CNC Control software. Can you suggest downloadable fixes??

Where on the HP site will I find the cost of these materials. Please help.

Thanks dk

HP does not have any keys but the OEM keys it uses for the OEM installs.  If that would work you could try the OEM Windows 7 Pro Key in the process using the command process.  If the motherboard has the correct BIOS string for windows 7, it should activate it.

Check you PM

Hi SDF15,

I checked the error message this morning and it switched back to BIOHD-1.

What does the hard drive have to do with the sound not working?

The link is HP Support Assistant, correct?

Thanks again,

David

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about recovery media and wanted to help.

 

HP does not post a single cost because it varies by PC. 

 

Here's the software and drivers page for your PC:  http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-500-200-desktop-pc-series/5399647/model/6743750#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2

 

Scroll down to the Order Recovery Media section and expand that. Click the Order Media link.

Good Luck

Hello;

Allow me to welcome you to the HP forums!

I read your post about no operating system and wanted to help.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but that error code indicates your hard drive is failing -- and needs to be replaced.

 

Once you replace it, you will need to order HP Recovery Media in order to restore your PC to working condition.  This is a set of DVDs and a CD, or USB stick, that will erase the hard drive (removing all data, settings, and applications, reinstall the original OS, drivers, and some HP Utilities. In some cases, you may be able to order a USB stick instead of disks.  You have to order these from HP; they can not be downloaded.

You can look online for Recovery Media starting with the linked paged: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers

Once there, input your Product name or number. On your Software and Drivers Download page, select your Operating System and and Version. Click "Update".  If HP Recovery Media is available for your machine, down near the bottom of the page, you will see an entry for Order Recovery Media-CD/DVD/USB. Click the "+" symbol to expand that entty and click on Order Media for details.

Or, if you prefer, you can do the same by contacting HP Customer Service:

If you live in the US or Canada, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1

If you live elsewhere, contact information is on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html

NOTE: After you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to some one -- it can take a while!

Note that if HP no longer provides Recovery Media for your model, a couple of other sites you can check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/  and http://www.restoredisks.com/

Good Luck

compag evo d51s

Hello.  I have a Compaq EVO D51S desktop which I purchased used and reconditioned from a dealer, now out of business.  It has been sitting unused several years until recently.  Seems to work ok, but I want to do some modifications/upgrades and a users/owners manual would be helpful.  Does anyone know where I could get one?  It has Windows xp professional, user pack 3, which I want to keep (if that makes any difference).  A label on the top cover reads: D51S/P1.8/20/p/256c  US.

Any help will be appreciated.  Thank you.

Issue reinstalling Windows 8

$

Hi. A friend of mine purchased a used HP Omni 120 desktop all in one computer that came with Windows 8. There are some problems...

1. It's polluted with malware.

 

2. Even worse... The previous owners girlfriend messed with it and I see that while the recovery partition is there it is empty so I can't use that to restore it to factory. The computer didn't come with any recovery media either. I have an official MS Windows 8.1 iso I made and I have used that in the past a few times to restore some computers. I put that disk in this computer and thought I'd get it to reinstall Win8 easily, but that's not the case. I get stuck with a driver issue. I have a screen shot below of what happens. Any ideas of what I need to do to get past this and get Windows back on here? Thanks!

Hi:

 

Here is the support page for that model...

 

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=316518&lang=en&cc=us

 

Here is the link to the quickspecs which will provide some info on what memory and processors are supported.

 

http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04287108.pdf?ver=10

 

For processors, you actually can go up to the Pentium 4 3.06 GHz/533 MHz/512 kb processor.

 

http://ark.intel.com/products/27499/Intel-Pentium-4-Processor-supporting-HT-Technology-3_06-GHz-512K-Cache-533-MHz-FSB

 

Depending on the version of the motherboard your PC has, it may or may not support hyperthreading.

Ordinarily, what I would recommend is ordering HP Recovery Media to restore the PC.

 

But there are two problems in this case.  First, there are over 200 models of that desktop, and without the model number, I can't check to see if recovery media is still available from HP.

 

Second, if it is not, you would have to go to a third-pary to order the media from them, and for that, you would need the specific model number.

 

If you can find the model number on a sticker or plate on the PC and post that, I can check for HP media, but you can also go to these sites and checks yourself if they have the media for that PC:  http://www.computersurgeons.com/  and http://www.restoredisks.com/

Recommending this because it's generally a lot cheaper than going out and buying a copy of Win8.1.

 

Also, as an alternative, you can use RUFUS to create a bootable USB stick from the ISO you have and see if this PC boots from that -- realizing that the HP OEM product key on this PC is most likely NOT going to work to activate the Win8.1 you install from the ISO.

 

Good Luck
