Q: My HP Pavilion dv5 Notebook running Windows Vista won’t shutdown properly. When I click the shutdown button it reboots. I don’t know what to do. It says that “bluescreen” is the one causing it.
Q: When I tried to compress my HP recovery drive I get the following error message: Invalid root in registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\HPActiveSupport\HPLDR\Cpmpact†code 80070002
My operating system is Vista Home Premium 64-bit and my computer is an HP Pavilion entertainment Notebook.
I am also having the following problems:
1) My System restore will now only take me back 5 days, which is not far enough back. This happened after I backed up my registry when I was trying to fix iTunes (could not burn a disc in iTunes.)
2) I cannot do a disc cleanup, when my computer starts I get the error message “The procedure entrypint ARCON_GetConnectVersion could not be located in the dynamic link library ArcCon.dll.â€
3) My files will not back up to Norton online storage, and the option to burn them to disc is not shown, even after Norton was reinstalled with a newer version.

Read Question HereQ: Why does my iTunes run so slow?
I am running windows vista on my 17″ hp pavilion dv9000 with 2GB of RAM. In my iTunes library I have less than 15 albums. I do not have many other applications open and my windows media player does not run slow where I have over 100 albums in it. But my iTunes does especially when I use cover flow. Why is this? Is this because its running on a PC and not a Mac or what?
Q: I have an HP Pavillion dv9000 laptop with Vista installed. I’ve been getting pop-ups that Windows Automatic Updates has stopped working, then the HP assistant (a toolbar type of thing on the desktop) stopped working, then the CaTrayLauncher stopped, and now Internet Explorer takes several attempts before it finally opens.
My Norton360 says everything is fine. What do you think is causing it? What can I do if it is a virus? I don’t use Vongo, can I delete it and the tray thing?
Q: I have a laptop (hp pavillion dv6000), a monitor (hp2207h), and a 40 inch samsung television. Both monitor and television are hooked up and have a picture but my laptop is blank.

I am asking is there anyway I can use laptop screen as third monitor. Also on windows Vista.

Q: I’m unable to get any sound through the TV speakers when trying to connect my HP Pavilion dv9000 laptop to my Sony Bravia 40w3000 LCD TV using an HDMI cable. Great picture but only get audio from the laptop
A: You may need to set preferences in your laptop’s Control Panel for sound and/or HDMI in order to get sound from your computer to your television. You should also confirm that you are not using an HDMI to DVI cable, as such cables are cannot send audio from your laptop to your television. And make sure that your computer is using the latest drivers, firmware, and BIOS from HP by selecting your exact computer from an official list. Contact HP if you are unsure which computer is yours. You may also wish to contact HP in order to confirm that your laptop’s HDMI port is capable of sending audio — some HDMI ports only send video. Read the rest of this entry »
