Introduction

Safety Information

This product has not been evaluated for connection to an

“IT” power system (an AC distribution system with no direct

connection to earth, according to IEC 60950).

AC Power Safety Warning

Warning:

Install the computer near an

AC outlet. The AC power cord is your

HP Pavilion PC’s main AC disconnecting

device and must be easily accessible at

all times. For your safety, the power cord

provided with your system has a

grounded plug. Always use the power

cord with a properly grounded wall

outlet to avoid the risk of electrical shock.

Warnin

To reduce the possibility of an

electric shock from the telephone

network, plug your computer into the AC

outlet before connecting it to the

telephone line. Also, disconnect the

telephone line before unplugging your

computer from the AC power outlet.

Warning:

Your system is provided with

a voltage select switch for use in a 115

or 230 VAC power system. The voltage

select switch has been pre-set to the

correct voltage setting for use in the

particular country where it was initially

sold. Changing the voltage select switch

to the incorrect position can damage you

PC and void any implied warranty.

Warning:

Always disconnect the

modem cord from the telephone system

before installing or removing your

computer cover.

Warning:

Do not operate the computer

with the cover removed.

Warning:

The power supply is not user-

serviceable. To prevent damage to the

repair or replace it. All other components

are user-serviceable.

Warning:

Electrostatic discharge (ESD)

can damage disk drives, add-in cards,

and other components. If an ESD station

is not available, wear a wrist strap

attached to a metal part of the computer.

Place cards on a conductive foam pad or

inside the card wrapper, if possible, but

never on the card wrapper.

Warning:

For your safety, always

unplug the system from its power source

and from any telecommunications

systems (such as phone lines), networks,

or modems before performing any of the

procedures described in this guide.

Failure to do so may result in personal

injury or equipment damage. Hazardous

voltage levels are inside the power

supply and modem of this product.

Putting the Computer into

Standby and

Hibernation Mode

As an alternative to shutting down the computer,

you can put the PC in standby mode. To

conserve power, you can automatically put the

computer into standby and then hibernation by

setting the power management timers.

Standby Mode

When the computer is in standby mode, it goes

into a low-power state and the monitor is blank

as if it’s turned off. The next time you use the

computer, any programs, folders, and

documents that were open before you put the

computer in standby will be available. With

standby mode, you can save electricity without

having to wait for the PC to go through the

normal startup routine when you turn it on.

Standby mode also allows faxes to come

through to the computer, and it enables the PC to

automatically retrieve e-mail messages and

download information from the Web, if you have

programmed the computer to do so.

To manually put the computer in standby:

1 Press the Standby button on the keyboard.

The screen goes dark, and the computer goes

into standby mode.

2 When you want to use the computer again,

press a key on the keyboard, or press the

Standby button. The screen display reappears

just as you left it.

Another way to manually put the computer into

standby is to:

1 Click Start on the taskbar.

2 Click Turn Off Computer.

3 Click Stand By.

Internet

The HP Pavilion home PC comes with everything

you need to sign up with an Internet Service

Provider (ISP) and use the Internet.

Your HP Pavilion comes with:

3 Access to the ISPs in your area. Some ISPs

offer a traditional dial-up service, and others

offer faster technologies such as Digital

Subscriber Line (DSL) and cable. (DSL, ADSL,

and cable ISPs are not available in all

regions.)

3 Internet Explorer Web browser.

3 Outlook Express e-mail software program.

3 V.90 modem and modem software (not

available in all models).

3 LAN (Local Area Network) card (select

models only).

3 Special keyboard buttons to access the

Internet.

Introducing the Internet

What Is the Internet?

The Internet is a group of computers that

communicate with each other through telephone

lines, digital service, or cable lines. Each Internet

computer is independent, and its operators

choose which files to make available to users of

the Internet. To connect your PC to the Internet

and use the information and services available

there, you need an ISP.

Setting Up and Using the Internet

HP Pavilion home PC

Filename: sb2usqs.doc Title: HP-Print2k.dot

Template: HP-Print2K.dot Author: Jerry C. Stogsdill Last Saved By: WASSER, Inc.

Revision #: 32 Page: 30 of 96 Printed: 10/25/01 11:45 AM

What Is an ISP?

Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are businesses

that give you access to the Internet, and most of

them provide an electronic mail service (e-mail).

There is usually a monthly fee for this service.

The types of connection vary, and may be a

telephone dial-up modem, a LAN (Local Area

Network), cable modem, or DSL (Digital

Subscriber Line).

When your computer connects to the Internet, it

is actually communicating with the ISP’s Internet

computer. The ISP verifies your account and then

provides you access to the Internet. You use a

Web browser program to search, find, and

display Web site information. Some ISPs allow

you to use the browser program of your choice.

Some, like America Online, provide their own

browser.

What Is the World Wide Web?

The World Wide Web (WWW) is a public part

of the Internet used by individuals, companies,

governments, and organizations. These

individuals and groups have created millions of

Web site pages in support of their activities.

A Web page is a file or group of files that a user

can access by entering the Web page’s file

location, or URL.

What Is a URL?

The URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies a

file location, typically in the form

http://www.name.extension

Quick Start Guide

Filename: sb2usqs.doc Title: HP-Print2k.dot

Template: HP-Print2K.dot Author: Jerry C. Stogsdill Last Saved By: WASSER, Inc.

Revision #: 32 Page: 31 of 96 Printed: 10/25/01 11:45 AM

Internet

The URL contains the protocol and the pathway

to a site and may include the path to a specific

file within that site. Each period or

dot

in the URL

separates elements within the address. You will

see the URL extension

.com

used by companies,

.gov

used by governments, and

.edu

used by

universities. When you enter the URL into your

browser Address box, and press the Enter key

on your keyboard, the browser contacts that

location and displays the Web page for you.

What Is an E-Mail Address?

When you use e-mail, your e-mail address

identifies the electronic post office box where

people can send you electronic mail. E-mail

addresses have the form

name@domain_name

The

domain name

is usually the name of the ISP

or organization, and includes an extension

identifying the kind of organization the ISP is.

For example, if your name is Jane Jones and

XYZ is your ISP, your e-mail address might be

JaneJones@xyz.com

with the extension

.com

indicating that XYZ is a

business. For information on using e-mail, see

“Sending and Receiving E-Mail” on page 40.

How Do I Search the Web?

The browser program you use includes a Search

feature. You may need to click a button or select

the feature from a menu to display it, depending

on the type of browser program it is.

The Search feature provides a box where you

enter a question or a word that describes the

information you want to find. If you enter one or

a few general words, you may get many general

Setting Up the Modem

The modem is used for connecting to an ISP that

provides telephone dial-up connection to the

Internet. There are other ways to connect to the

ISP that do not use the telephone modem, such

as a LAN (Local Area Network), or DSL (Digital

Subscriber Line). See ”Setting Up the Network

Adapter” on page 34 if you are connecting

through a LAN. Check with your ISP for specifics

on your connection.

Note:

Your computer may not come with a modem.

Before you can connect to the Internet and send

or receive e-mail and faxes using telephone

dial-up, you must connect the telephone line to

the modem, which is in the computer.

The setup poster shows you how to plug in a

modem/telephone cable to the computer modem

connector and to your telephone line wall jack

connector.

Sending and Receiving

E-Mail

Your HP Pavilion home PC comes with an

electronic mail (e-mail) software program from

Microsoft called Outlook Express. Some ISPs use

Outlook Express. Other ISPs, such as America

Online, provide their own Web browser and

e-mail program and they may not let you use

Outlook Express or your preinstalled browser.

Before you can send and receive e-mail,

you need:

3 An account with an Internet Service

Provider (ISP).

3 Microsoft Internet Explorer or other browser

program (usually provided by an ISP).

3 A dial-up modem/telephone connection, or a

network adapter connection from your PC to

the ISP.

Note:

If you decide to use a DSL or a cable Internet

connection, contact your ISP for any specific

software and hardware you may need.

If the ISP Provides the Browser

Follow the ISP’s instructions to download its Web

browser and e-mail program and to set up and

use your e-mail account. You will then be able to

send and receive e-mail each time you connect

to your ISP.

Understanding DVD Terminology

In order to understand the DVD controls, you

should be familiar with DVD terminology. Each

DVD can hold one or more

titles

. Most full-length

movies have only one title on the DVD, but some

DVDs include several short movies, with each

movie being a separate title.

Each title is divided into multiple

chapters

. A

chapter is a particular segment or scene in the

movie. When watching a DVD movie, you have

the ability to jump to the next chapter, the

previous chapter, or to a specific chapter.

A single image in a movie is called a

frame

Using the WinDVD Control Panel

The WinDVD control panel automatically

appears when you insert a DVD.

If you are playing a movie full screen and the

panel is hidden, you can redisplay it as follows:

1 Right-click anywhere in the video window.

2 Select View.

3 Click Player. The control panel appears.

3 To see what a button does on the control

panel, place the mouse pointer on the

3 To move the WinDVD control panel, place

the mouse pointer on the panel (but not on

a button), and drag it to the desired

location on the screen.

3 To resize the video window when it is not

Revision #: 32 Page: 50 of 96 Printed: 10/25/01 11:45 AM

Using Regional Codes

DVDs sometimes come with regional codes

imprinted as part of the disc data. These codes

prevent DVD movies from being played in

regions of the world that are different from

where they are sold. The region number is

usually placed over a world globe printed on the

DVD packaging and disc.

DVDs without regional codes will play on any

player or drive in any country.

The six major DVD regions are:

3 Region 1: North America

3 Region 2: Japan, Europe, Middle East,

South Africa

3 Region 3: Southeast Asia (including Hong

Kong and Korea)

3 Region 4: Australia, New Zealand, Mexico,

Central and South America

3 Region 5: Northwest Asia, North Africa

3 Region 6: China

WinDVD is not pre-set to a particular region —

the regional code of the first DVD movie you

play determines your DVD region.

For example, if you play a DVD with a region 1

code, WinDVD sets the current region of your

DVD player to 1. If you later play a DVD that is

coded for a different region, WinDVD asks if

you want to set this as the current region.

Warning:

You can change the region

only five times before the change

becomes permanent.

Troubleshooting

For help on general and miscellaneous problems you may be experiencing with the PC, refer to the

following pages for possible solutions. Look up the description of the problem and try the solution listed.

For more detailed information, press the Help button on your keyboard, or click Start on the taskbar and

select Help and Support.

Problem Solution

My computer won’t

turn on at all.

3 When you press the On button on the front of the computer, the following events

should happen:

1 The keyboard indicator lights flash.

2 The light next to the diskette drive flashes.

3 The hard disk spins or the diskette drive makes a noise.

Warning:

Your system is provided with a voltage select switch for use in a

115 or 230 VAC power system. The voltage select switch has been pre-set

to the correct voltage setting for use in the particular country where it was

initially sold. Changing the voltage select switch to the incorrect position

can damage your PC and void any implied warranty.

Problem Solution

My computer won’t

turn on at all. Avertissement :

Votre système est doté d’un commutateur de sélection de

tension (115 ou 230 volts c.a.). Ce commutateur a été placé sur la tension

appropriée pour le pays dans lequel l’équipement est initialement vendu.

Mettre le commutateur à la mauvaise position peut endommager

l’ordinateur et annuler toute garantie implicite.

3 If the computer doesn’t go through the above procedure, check the following:

3 The power cord and all cables are securely plugged into the computer.

3 The power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet. Check to see whether the outlet

works by plugging another item into it.

3 The monitor is connected to the computer, plugged in, and turned on.

I installed a new

printer or other

device, and it won’t

work.

3 Be sure that you installed the device drivers that came with the new device.

3 You may need an updated driver for Windows XP. For non-HP peripherals, contact the

vendor directly. For HP peripherals, visit the HP Web site.

Help

Problem Solution

The computer (or part

of it) doesn’t seem to

be working.

3 Try restarting the computer as follows:

1 Click Start on the taskbar.

2 Click Turn Off Computer.

3 Click Restart.

3 If the computer shows no response to mouse or keyboard actions, reset the computer:

1 Press and hold the On button until the system turns off.

2 Wait a few seconds, and turn the computer back on.

Note:

Using the On button to reset the system is not recommended and should be used only

as a last resort.

3 It’s possible that a voltage spike, power outage, or brownout has occurred. Symptoms

of voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected system startups, and

the system not responding to your commands. A voltage spike can occasionally

corrupt or destroy files, so it is a good idea to consistently make backup copies of

your data files. Prevent voltage spikes by installing a surge suppressor made for use

with computers between the power outlet and the computer power cord.

supply is turned on (select models only).

3 Remove the headphone connection.

3 Use the keyboard controls to increase the volume.

Problem Solution

My keyboard doesn’t

work, even though the

computer and monitor

seem to work.

3 If the PC beeps repeatedly or if nothing happens when you press keys, it’s possible

that the keyboard is connected improperly.

USB keyboards only: Make sure the keyboard is firmly connected to the USB port

on the back or front of the computer. Try unplugging and replugging the keyboard

connection.

Non-USB keyboards only: Make sure the keyboard is connected to the keyboard

port, not to the mouse port. If you need to reconnect these two cables, turn the

computer off, reconnect the cables, and then turn the computer back on.

3 Try restarting the computer (click Start, select Turn Off Computer, and click

Restart). If that doesn’t work, press and hold the computer On button until the

computer turns off (approximately five seconds). Then turn the computer back on.

The monitor doesn’t

work, even though the

computer appears to.

3 Check the connection of the power cord into the monitor.

3 Make sure the monitor is turned on — it has its own power button.

3 Make sure the monitor power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet. Check to see

whether the outlet works by plugging another item into it. (If the light on the front of

the monitor is lit, the monitor is getting power.)

3 Check the cable connection between the monitor and the computer. The cable

connectors must be pushed in all the way.

3 Adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.

Help

Problem Solution

The mouse doesn’t

work, even though

everything else does.

3 If nothing happens when you move the mouse, it’s possible that the mouse is

connected improperly.

USB mouse only: Make sure the mouse is firmly connected to the USB port. Try

unplugging and replugging the mouse.

Non-USB mouse only: Make sure the mouse is connected to the mouse port, not

to the keyboard port. To reconnect these two cables, turn the computer off, reconnect

the cables, and then turn the computer back on.

3 If the pointer doesn’t move on the screen when you move the mouse, clean the mouse.

For an optical mouse, wipe the light sensor lens on the bottom of the mouse with a

lint-free cloth. For a roller ball mouse:

1 Remove the mouse ball by unscrewing the bottom of the mouse.

2 Clean the mouse ball with a damp cloth (not paper).

3 Use your finger to move the rollers in the mouse ball housing, and remove lint

and dust.

4 Replace the mouse ball, and screw on the cover.

3 The computer might have stopped. Reset the computer by pressing and holding the

computer On button until the computer turns off (approximately five seconds). Then

turn the computer back on.

Using System Recovery and

Application Recovery

Before using the HP Pavilion System Recovery

or Application Recovery program, use

System Restore.

System Restore

Warning:

Try

System Restore

before

using the

HP Pavilion System Recovery

program.

If software on your hard drive accidentally gets

erased or damaged, first use the Microsoft

System Restore

feature in Windows XP to restore

the computer system and program settings.

System Restore returns the computer settings

to a selected restore point without affecting

user programs or document files. For more

information, type System Restore into the

Search box in Help and Support.

System Recovery

When other methods of repairing your system

software (like System Restore) fail, you may want

to use the

HP Pavilion System Recovery

program

as a last resort to reinstall the software.

When needed, you can reinstall the operating

system and the application software that was

originally installed on the computer at the factory

by using the System Recovery program. The

System Recovery program does not affect your

data files.

The System Recovery program uses a special

recovery partition

on the hard disk that stores

an image of the original software. This makes

recovery convenient, without the need to have

or use a System Recovery CD.

Note:

The system recovery image is in a hidden partition

area of the hard drive; this disk space is not

available for your use.

System Recovery CDs are not available. In the

unlikely event that you replace the hard drive,

or somehow damage the data in the special

recovery partition on the hard drive, you must

contact HP Support for help.

To contact HP Support, see the

Support Path

card, included in the computer documentation,

for the HP Customer Care Center telephone

number.

Application Recovery

If an individual application or driver accidentally

gets erased or damaged, you can reinstall the

software using the HP Pavilion Application

Recovery program (select models only). For

information, see “Using Application Recovery”

on page 67.

Freeing Up Space on

Your Hard Disk Drive

The PC comes with a hard disk drive.

Depending on your model, the hard disk drive

has 20 gigabytes (GB) to more than 160 GB of

total disk space. The PC comes with preloaded

software programs and a hidden partition within

the hard disk drive that takes up a certain

amount of space on the hard disk drive.

Note:

The system recovery image is in a hidden partition

area of the hard drive; this disk space is not

available for your use.

The hidden partition:

3 Houses a backup version of the operating

system and the programs included with

the PC.

3 Takes up about 4.5 GB of hard disk space,

reducing the total amount of space available

for your use.

3 Replaces the need for system and application

recovery CDs.

Use the following procedures to:

3 View the amount of used and free disk space

by using the System Tools Disk Management.

3 Uninstall unneeded programs.

3 Use the Disk Cleanup utility.

3 Reinstall programs that came with the PC.
