Hi,

A

On-screen visuals and associated sounds that are displayed and heard when adjusting the notebook volume:

You are right. To solve problem with showing graphic while changing volume there should be installed HP QuickTouch, but this software woks only under Win7 32 bit and even there it's not so great.

Uninstall HPQuickTouch from Your system.

Resources:

Uninstalling Software in Windows 7

Uninstall or change a program in Windows 7

When You will do that install:

3RVX from here

It's a free software with much more intresting functions and it works under 32 and 64 bit Win7 version.

You may check even how it works on YouTube movie which is here.

User shows there for example how You may change skins there.

I'm sure then You will like it.

Fan:

I talked about it with Cheryl (She have dv2000 model). Sensore which is in this model don't give information about fan speed because it's not supported by this software.

Here is screen from HWMonitor which was uploaded by Cheryl:

It looks the same under Vista so You can't do anything about it.

@Daniel

Thanks for all your help!

@CherylG

My temperatures range from 45 degrees Celsius (if I'm not doing much on my computer and/or my cooling fan is on) to 80 (if I'm doing more strenuous things with my computer, like webcamming while playing a Flash game in a browser, and chatting on AIM, etc.)

how can I tell which wireless driver I need?

Also, The specs for my laptop give a different graphics card model then the one the drivers are for. My laptop is a dv2819nr and the specs say NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M while the driver download says Nvidia mcp67m. This may be why I was crashing after installing the graphics card.

[marbanasin]

also, I've been having trouble with the audio driver. It says can't locate MEDIA for the driver.

@marbanasin

The Audio driver posted on ( AMD) dv2800 series  drivers page is the wrong driver, even for Vista. I have reported that to HP with no luck getting it removed.

Use this for audio:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp38501-39000/sp38906.exe

For the graphics driver, boot into Safe Mode by tapping F8 at startup. Go to Device Manager,right click the graphic and Uninstall driver. Reboot, go back to Device Manager, right click and Update driver, choose 'Search automatically" letting it download from Windows Update.
