I have a mobile modem (http://192.168.8.1) and when typing some URL's in Firefox's adress bar I'm getting redirected to the above mentioned URL (the modem's setup page.)
If there's a...

Some of you may remember me and my laptop.
Purchased it in Feb. 2018, took it home and all kinds of trouble.
Apps and programs slow to open and even slower to close.
Frozen startmenu, frozen mouse...

Members here have also put in a good amount of effort in trying to help resolve my problems, but I'll get it replaced.
After all, I don't want to spend time doing troubleshooting for free and let HP...

I've burned an image on DVD's and downloaded Win 10 from the microsoft server, burned it to DVD and did a clean install.
Computer ten times worse so I installed the original image.

Hardware issues is always a possibility, but I did run HP PC Hardware Diagnostics tool and no hardware problems were found.
Also the computer behaves well in safemode.
Should I blindly trust the HP...

You're quite right,-it's a lemon. I'll bring it back.

It turned out not to be.
Did a clean install and the HP acts up worse than ever.
Screen blacks out every three seconds, cursor freezes, start-menu unresponsive, the fan blows full speed all the...

OK.- I burned an image of the original system and burned it to DVD's.
I've downloaded Win10 from Microsoft and burned it to DVD.
Before clean installing I downloaded HP PC Hardware Diagnostics and...

My external HDD died silently in bed the other day. :cry:

That makes sense. I've got Office too . . .
That's some serious compression on that single DVD.

Just wondering,- I made an image of the current system,-it used 5 dvd's, about 64 gigs.
The Win 10 iso-file I downloaded used only 1 dvd when I burned it.
How can that be?

I'll do that, my WIFI quits from time to time, although it's seldom. Wouldn't want it to quit in the middle of the install.

Good to hear, thanks.

Yes, win 10 is currently installed.

I just downloaded the Win 10 iso file from Microsoft, burned it to a DVD and and the computer booted from it just fine. But,- this is a HP Pavilion Notebook, and I'm wondering about drivers. Does the...

Years ago I buildt fully working desktops from parts I found in computer companies' thrash-containers or bought from second-hand stores.
Buildt several of them, and they worked for years,-never a...

Interesting, I'll dig into that one.

Regarding the warranty,-I've been asking myself the same question.
I'll let the store get one chance to check for hardware issues, and if they do not find anything the computer will still act up,...

I'll take note of that, thanks.

Paljon kiitoksia.
My wife also has assignements at home when she's not on campus, so she just needed something that did the job,-fast.

When I fight HP you're welcome to join. Bring a bottle of...

Then I'd loose my warranty. OK, that could been dealt with by creating an image of the present system, clean install, and then re-installing the original system if I needed to send the computer in...

I hate Windows because they have made so much crap over the years. Remember Win95, 98 and Win ME?
That being said, Windows NT4, Windows 2000 and XP pro plus Win7 worked great.
But I also love...

I'm neither a fan of computers running Win10 nor Apple,-I'm a fan of stuff that works.
I don't care who make computers, the pope or Osama bin Laden, as long as it works.
I would never have bought...
