HP laptop tune up

RaiderHammer

Can't seem to get my HP laptop tune up to work. It looks like its running but doing nothing with an error message above. Any ideas how I can get it to work?

Don't you have to pay £79 for the privilege?

Don't bother.

closed and waddler8 will do much the same thing for..... wait for it....nothing.

Not sure I thought it was just a click on the laptop.

No, it's probably a something like a re-branded version of TeamViewer or the like. It just allows someone to take control of your computer from afar.
But the things they would do for £79, we do here for nothing.

If something like the EEPROM needed reprogramming, they should do that at their cost, unless you had changed the Motherboard yourself.

Coincidentally - just running HP Tune-up now (to calibrate my battery - like watching paint dry...).
Mine was accesible from a boot option:-
- DEL (or ESC at boot time cannot remember) EDIT: ESC key
- system diagnostics (EDIT: F2)
- tune up

Useful, thank you. I was looking at where to get the System Information remotely without running an external software tool.
