Hi House,@febbymi, as much as I would like to advise you to purchase an original copy of windows, I wouldn't. Cos I know that it doesn't come cheap and you would rather use that money for something else. What I would suggest though, is that you should give alternatives to windows os a try. That is Linux, I can recommend that you try some newbie friendly ones like Linux Mint, Ubuntu, PClinxOS etc. It has a lot of advantages over windows BUT you have to be willing to learn a new thing cos its not windows so u should expect a lo of differences. Besides, you can actually run both windows and linux side by side on the same system until you get used to the new one before totally discarding windows. If you are interested, I'd be happy to help you out on that, and if you are in lagos, I can install it for you and help you along with the learning process. Here is my number if you want to get in touch . |

How can I make COM PORTS available on my PC? Please I need answers ASAP! |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by omega25red(m): 8:23pm On May 14, 2011 |
nearest:once again, COM ports are already available on your computer the first few COM ports usually work with printers scanners and other peripherals. The loader software you are using will give you a chance to select different COM ports if it doesn't automatically detect and choose a free one. check the options of the loader software you are using. also google FTA forums if that is what you are doing and on those sites you will get a wealth of info |

bennito: Has the remote ever work prior to recovery How did you recover i.e. F11 or CD/DVD Disk Click start, run and type in devmgmt.msc and make sure no yellow signs Make sure battery is properly inserted and the + sign is facing up Make sure battery is new and not used ones or fake models To view the following make sure you have adoabe reader installed Further instructions can be found at www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01495944.pdf">http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01495944.pdf |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by bennito: 5:42pm On May 16, 2011 |
@deji2009, thanks for replyin. After the format, i recovered through my HP Recovery internal disk. It was only d main memory that was formatted. The remote was workin parfectly before the format. Can you be a little more elaborate. I do nt really understand the directive you gave me. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 6:01pm On May 16, 2011 |
bennito: answer yes or no did you press f11 for recovery ? have you visited device manager to check no yellow signs refer to my previous reply the link is an hp website that give you more information about troubleshooting the remote control to view it you need to have adobe reader installed as the website is in .pdf format |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 6:05pm On May 16, 2011 |
deji2009: Try the following solutions if your remote control does not function properly: ● Be sure that you have a clear line of sight from the remote control to the infrared port on the computer or optional docking device. ● Be sure that you are within range of the infrared port on the computer or optional docking device. ● Be sure that the battery is properly installed and has a charge. Replace the battery if necessary. ● Be sure that you are using the remote control with a supported computer or optional docking device. 7 |

pls can someone tell me where to download hp pavilion(dv6) drivers webcam and bluetooth. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ZIMDRILL(m): 2:03am On May 17, 2011 |
bennito: since you formatted it means you lost the driver but then you went to say @except if i want to on d laptop with the romote.@ i dont get you there what do you really want to say ? |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by v3: 10:26am On May 17, 2011 |
@Zim I think what he's trying to say is that he can use the romote to turn on the laptop but can't carry out other functions with it (I assume the remote is used to for multimedia purposes to e.g HP DVD Quick Play, Windows Media et al). |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Dawgzfada(m): 6:24pm On May 18, 2011 |
Pls help, i use a HP Dv6000. .twas working fine this afternoon and i was viewing a thread on Nairaland, and the next thing the laptop went off. Tried putting it on but it won't come on. The lights wont even blink at all. Also the only light that comes on is the blue light that indicates its charging (thru the charging hole). I removed the battery, plugged the laptop and tried putting it on but it still wont come on. I removed the Rams and resit them but it still won't come on. Am at wits end here. .pls someone should help. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by omega25red(m): 7:32pm On May 18, 2011 |
Dawgzfada:sounds interesting and it could be anything. i have some questions. Did you have the computer on the bed? did you smell any burning like rubber or any funny burning smells from the computer? first thing is to find someone with similar computer and use their charger of that is not possible, you can try using an external monitor on your laptop to see if its the monitor that is not coming on. take out one ram and power it on and try with the second one and see if that works you can also just leave it for an hour to cool down because it could have over heated. if none of that works, maybe someone will have a better idea here but i say take it to get the motherboard changed. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Jeophri(m): 8:54pm On May 18, 2011 |

Hiya, its me again I was wondering if you can help with an antivirus. My laptop got infected I think by BEST-ANTIVIRUS2010, it is a keylogger from google and it keeps on telling me[i] My computer is infected(it shows all the virus I have) and that I should remove it by buying the MS Tool Removal[/i] I have had it before and I downloaded kaspersky 30day trial to clean it but now I am without a virus for both my laptop and PC and it has infected my laptop. I tried going on the internet but it is very very slow and I think it disables my laptop's firewall anytime I turn it on. Help, I was wondering if I can download an antivirus on my PC and put it on a USB stick to transfer on my laptop. Is that possible? But help me first with a good Anti-virus. Cheers |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ZIMDRILL(m): 12:01am On May 19, 2011 |
kandiikane: yes you can download it to your usb then run the installation to intended pc when you download you can even try other anti virus like avast, avg, avira etc |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by ZIMDRILL(m): 12:09am On May 19, 2011 |
Jeophri: do you know that the motherboard is the computer its self? is the motherboard dead ? if yes why get another pc then get a caddy for harddrive that was in your dead pc on ebay you can get those motherboard |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by kandiikane(m): 12:14am On May 19, 2011 |
Can you send me a link to an anti-virus please? |
