Are you still on Windows XP??

Those HP machines have a Whitelist. Intel or ATI processor?

Hi Nifty Thanks, I have windows 7 32 bit installed

Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 CPU T5600

I think that I already dealt with this machine a while ago wherein we removed the whitelist, in so that you could use generic parts without experiencing an error code.
Did we?

No, Nifty, You helped me install windows 7 on this machine.

I have had no other problems with this, only now with a new battery i bought.

It was my ACER aspire you helped me with, you helped me with the BIOS and all the other problem

Thanks

I thought that I did both at the same time with the HP, as it's a known issue with older HP and IBM machines. So whilst updating the BIOS one removes the whitelist at the same time. Did we update the BIOS on the HP?

You can do it again, but I don't know if the Flasher works with Windows 7 and can't test it beforehand.

BIOS update with whitelist removed is here...if we haven't run this before.

Unzip to the folder within, run as Admin by right clicking on the application and follow the instructions. BIOS updates are not without risk, especially when run through the operating system.

Hi, Nifty, not that i remember, i don't recall any problems with this HP Compaq, i only remember problems with the Acer, i had to flash the bios.

Would you like a screen shot of the Bios on this HP, So you can see before i do anything?



Thanks

If i do this, Will this remove windows 7 as i have no installation disc?

Thanks

It doesn't affect the OS. Anyway, I have the HP reinstallation disc. Though worse case scenario, a bad flash can kill the whole machine.

I really cannot offer any guarantee. I haven't ever run it through Windows 7. On the other hand I think that it might be the solution to your issue.
