egopersonified: Please I have some issues with my hp laptop; What is the make of your system? Do you know the RAM size? Processor speed? Operating system its running? 1. The system is verrrrrrry slow. - You probably have too many programs installed. Please uninstall some programs./Run virus scan / Defragment your hard disk. 2. How do I install microsoft outlook, word, excel 2007 from the net? : You would have to purchase the Microsoft office software to get Outlook, excel, powerpoint, word and the rest. (you can also download trail version from Microsoft website). http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/evalcenter/evaluate-office-professional-plus-2013 3. When I shut down, I have to force shutdown, even when all windows are closed.The is a background running program that might need to shutdown gracefully hence the time its taking 4. The system always freezes when I'm working. -That could mean many things - Background application, overheating,weakhard disk. one cant know until we perform proper diagnostics |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by LordReed(m): 5:06pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
Mellorix: No not correct. This should be: too many programs running in the background. Stop unessential programs and processes from in the background. |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Mellorix: 5:14pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
LordReed: You are entitled to your own technical opinion. What i said was mine ! YOU DON'T have to accept it. ! I presume your solution would have to stop processes running "everytime" when he/she powers on the system right? smh |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by LordReed(m): 5:50pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
Mellorix: Processes can be stopped from running even if the computer is restarted. If you don't know how, ask you will be taught. |

If yes, I'd advice you to restart the installation. if the installation is from cd, get hold of the cd and continue the install. you may need to check that the laptop is set to boot from cd. bios boot order. google it, if unsure. what do you mean by spoilt ? i.e. virus, blue screen errors what is teh full make of the laptop for example toshiba p300-20h and tell us the operating you were trying to install. e.g. xp to vista or windows 7 to windows 8 |

Hi, Please have got a serious problem with my HP 2000 notebook after i format it to windows 8. My wi-fi now says: no wireless connections are available. I have downloaded a lots of drivers from hp website and other websites but it still wouldn't work fine. The wireless logo on the taskbar just shows a kind of red star sign(like a cancel button). I checked the Network adapters in the device manager and this is what i see there: Bluetooth Device(Personal Area Network), Bluetooth device(RFCOMM protocol TDI), microsoft Kernel Debug Network adapter, Realtek PCIe FE family controller. Please, is anything missing here? If yes, how can i get it fixed? Please, help a brother. Thanks for your being there. |

Hp 650 cooling fan is not working. Pls hw can I go about t nd is t expensive to get a new one or repair, like how much. Pls help |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Mellorix: 7:23pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
LordReed: Ok So what is your point? Killing processes can not guarantee your system running faster. Take it from me - I have been in this game for so long. Things that can make your system run slow are : A virus infection Some conflicting software programs that loads at the startup Multiple security programs Recently installed software updates or drivers Third-party browser plug-ins Cluttered files over years A lot of items loading at the startup/Background And please no further need to argue - Im just here helping users and you can do that too. Thanks |

Mellorix:thnk u so much. Wan to be sure of the amount |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by LordReed(m): 7:32pm On Sep 18, 2014 |

Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by Mellorix: 7:34pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
AmazingAngel: it was when he was trying to install the new harddrive that I just got(don't really know much about installation),b4 I changed the HDD,twas bringing out black screen,so I was told to get anoda HDD.....I don't tink he was using any cd cos it was harddrive installation not window There isnt issue here. I am sure your laptop does have a DVD room. All you need do is get a Bootable Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD. Open underneath your laptop and Unscrew the Hard disk compartment - Remove the Old hard disk and fit in the new Hard disk Put the Windows DVD into the DVD Room. Power on the laptop and immediately press F12, Select the DVD as the boot device, Format the hard disk and start the installation. Post back here if you have any concerns. |

teemama20: thnk u so much. Wan to be sure of the amount Firstly , how do you know your fan isnt working? it might be stuck by dust, have you tried blowing the air vent? |

Next day,i went to him and he tld me it is hard disk problem and i should bring 3k.pls help me out and explain more on the repair process.Thanks |
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by deji2009(m): 10:33pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
Olaide1295: Restart the laptop keep pressing f10 you'd see bios scrool to diagnostics and run me a hard drive test if the hard drive test passed. you don't need a hard drive . If it failed, then yes a hard rive. We need to know what happened during the windows 7 installation for example blue scree errors or hard drive format errors In the future always check to make sure you are doing the right thing . take for example, you wouldn't pour ford focus oil into a toyota without having a second thought. is the same as a laptop. always double check. it saves you time, efforts and money |

LordReed, Mellorix abeg make una stop fight help me, abeg. Windows 8, HP 655. I downloaded an app that contained malware. I uninstalled it an tracked down all relating files to it and did same. However, I think it tempered with my network connection coz tho my wi-fi is working fine, ALL internet using applications cannot connect e.g IE, Bluestacks, Mozilla. Also, it left an add-on on Internet explorer that I have tried to delete without success. It simply stays. cc Deji2009 Seun Realugee |
