Re: how to display the volume bar on screen

Hi,

 

Can you post back with the following.

 

1.  The full Model No. and Product No. of the notebook ( from the service tag underneath your notebook ) - see Here for a further explanation.

 

2.  The full version of the operating system you are using ( ie Windows 7 32bit ).

 

Regards,

Re: how to display the volume bar on screen

Hi,

 

First, you will need to download and install 1 MediaSmart application such as HP MediaSmart DVD on the link below.

 

HP MediaSmart DVD.

 

When this application has installed, download and install HP MediaSmart SmartMenu on the following link.

 

HP MediaSmart SmartMenu.

 

When this installation has completed, restart the notebook.

Re: how to display the volume bar on screen

Hi,

 

Try installing the version of HP OSD on the link below.

 

http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55152.exe

 

After the installation, restart the notebook.  Does this install and work correctly?

 

Regards,
