805 - You cannot dial using this connection at logon time, because it is configured to use logged on user's credentials.

806 - A connection between your computer and the VPN server has been started, but the VPN connection cannot be completed. The most common cause for this is that at least one Internet device (for example, a firewall or a router) between your computer and the VPN server is not configured to allow Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol packets. If the problem persists, contact your network administrator or Internet service provider.

807 - The network connection between your computer and the VPN server was interrupted. This can be caused by a problem in the VPN transmission and is commonly the result of internet latency or simply that your VPN server has reached capacity. Please try to reconnect to the VPN server. If this problem persists, contact the VPN administrator and analyze quality of network connectivity.

808 - The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server refused the connection. This is typically caused by a mismatch between the server's configuration and your connection settings. Please contact the remote server's Administrator to verify the server configuration and your connection settings.

809 - The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server is not responding. This could be because one of the network devices (e.g., firewalls, NAT, routers, etc.) between your computer and the remote server is not configured to allow VPN connections. Please contact your Administrator or your service provider to determine which device may be causing the problem.

810 - A network connection between your computer and the VPN server was started, but the VPN connection was not completed. This is typically caused by the use of an incorrect or expired certificate for authentication between the client and the server. Please contact your Administrator to ensure that the certificate being used for authentication is valid.

811 - The network connection between your computer and the VPN server could not be established because the remote server is not responding. This is typically caused by a pre-shared key problem between the client and server. A pre-shared key is used to guarantee you are who you say you are in an IP Security (IPSec) communication cycle. Please get the assistance of your administrator to determine where the pre-shared key problem is originating.

812 - The connection was prevented because of a policy configured on your RAS/VPN server. Specifically, the authentication method used by the server to verify your username and password may not match the authentication method configured in your connection profile. Please contact the Administrator of the RAS server and notify them of this error.

813 - You have attempted to establish a second broadband connection while a previous broadband connection is already established using the same device or port. Please disconnect the earlier connection and then re-establish the connection.

814 - The underlying Ethernet connectivity required for the broadband connection was not found. Please install and enable the Ethernet adapter on your computer via the Network Connections folder before attempting this connection.

815 - Failed to connect.
815 - The broadband network connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by an invalid value for the 'Service Name' field for this connection.

Transferring home video from a VCR or camcorder
Connecting a digital video camera (USB or Firewire)
Recording videos from a digital video camera (USB or Firewire)
This document pertains to HP Media Center PCs and Microsoft Windows XP, Media Center Edition.

This document addresses some basic ways to import and work with video. If you are using a digital camcorder, the documentation that came with your video camera might be different from this document. If this is the case, read the instructions for your video camera before using this document.
Transferring home video from a VCR or camcorder
Transferring video from a VCR or camcorder to the computer is also called capturing video from an analogue video stream. The methods for capturing and saving video vary depending on the software application used to capture and record the stream. Use the following steps to get an idea of how analogue video capturing works:

With the computer off, connect the VCR, television, or camcorder to the HP Media Center using a coaxial or S-video cable or . Connect the cable using the TV-out connections on the VCR/camcorder and the TV-in connections on the back or front of the HP Media Center computer.

NOTE: For some Media Center PCs with front and back video connectors, HP recommends that you connect your analog device to the Composite Video 2 or the S-Video 2 connector on the front of the PC.
Turn on the computer and the VCR/camcorder.

NOTE: Before you open your video capturing software make sure that you have completed the Media Center setup screens and then check the following:
Close the Media Center software.
Press CTRL+ALT+DEL, click the Task Manager button, select ehRec.exe from the list of items (if it is listed).
With ehRec selected, click End Process.
Close the window. You can now use your capturing software.
Open the software used for the video capturing. The software has to be able to recognize the special video format, called MS-DVR, that the TV tuner card uses. Many popular video editing programs (like Windows Movie Maker) do not work with this format and may produce the error message Video device in use.
At the time of this writing, the software options that are available for HP Media Center computers are as follows:
WinDVD Creator or WinDVD Creator 2. Open WinDVD Creator, select Capture video into hard disk button, click the wrench icon, and then select the Device Control tab. Select the video input source from the Video Source drop-down menu. If the items cannot be selected, some other software program is already using the TV Tuner. Find and close the software that is already using the video card and close it.

NOTE: For some HP Media Center PCs that have front and back video connectors, HP recommends that you use the front S-Video or Composite Video connector on your PC, and then select S-Video 2 or Composite Video 2 from the Video Source drop-down menu.
ArcSoft Showbiz and ShowBiz 2: This software is already on the HP Media Center computer. HP Media Center computers made in Summer of 2003 and later are capable of recording analogue video directly from the TV tuner.
HP Media Center 854, 854n, 864, 864n, 884, 884n, and 894c computers require an update to ArcSoft Showbiz before they can record directly from the TV card. To get this update, connect to the Internet, open ShowBiz, and check for updates using the Internet button in ShowBiz.
MovieMill by eMuzed: If your Media Center computer contains an eMuzed TV card, like the 863n, 873n, and 883n, you can reinstall this application using HP's application recovery software.
Change the signal setting (video input setting) according to the connections or channel selection on the VCR or camcorder. Here are some examples:
A VCR is connected with coaxial cable and is set to channel three (by a small switch on the back of the VCR. Set the signal setting in the capture software to channel three. With some software applications, selecting Composite also works.
A VCR is connected with an S-video cable. Set the signal setting in the capturing software to S-video. With some software applications, selecting Composite works better and produces higher quality recordings.
If a camcorder is used and it has a special cable that goes to an RCA style connector, use an RCA-to-S-video adapter to connect it to the computer and select Composite.
A camcorder with an RCA style connector is used to transfer video and plugged into the video-in connector on the bottom front of the Media Center (on some models). In ShowBiz 2 or other editing software you would select composite 2 under video input settings.
Use the software to record the analogue stream to a video file. This is usually done by clicking the Capture or Record button. Once the file is saved to a standard file format (Mpeg, WMV, AVI), it can then be edited by most video editing software like Arcsoft Showbiz, Windows Movie Maker, and many others.

Connecting a digital video camera (USB or Firewire)
Follow these steps to connect a digital video recorder to the computer:

Turn on the HP Media Center computer and wait for Windows XP to start.
Connect the video camera transfer cable into the camera and then into an open port on the computer. The port on the computer is usually the USB or firewire port on the front of the computer.
A Found New Hardware message appears in the lower-right corner of the desktop, next to the time. Wait two or three minutes for Windows to make the necessary settings for the new device.

Figure 1: Found New Hardware message
A separate Digital Video Device window might appear stating that Windows can perform the same operation every time you plug in the camera. For now, just close this window by clicking Cancel. Answer this window later, when you are more familiar with video editing software.
Click Start, and then right-click My Computer.
Click the Hardware tab, and then click the Device Manager button.
Click the Plus (+) sign next to Imaging devices. The name or brand of the video recorder should appear under Imaging devices. If a name appears, then the digital video recorder is ready. If a name does not appear, try the following items until the problem is resolved:
In Device Manager, select the computer name at the top of the list, click Action, and then select Scan for hardware changes. Look in Device Manager for a new addition under Imaging devices.
Unplug the video camera transfer cable from the computer and plug it into a different port. Look in Device Manager for a new addition under Imaging devices.

Figure 2: Digital camera listing in Device Manager
Once the camera is connected and the name is displayed in Device Manager, you can use video software to import the video from your camera (see next section).

Recording videos from a digital video camera (USB or Firewire)
This section describes how to import a basic video from a digital video recorder using Windows Movie Maker. Use the following steps to import and edit a video:

Connect a digital video camera to the PC.
Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, and then click Windows Movie Maker.
In Windows Movie Maker, click File, and then click Record. If Windows Movie Maker finds a valid video capturing device, a Record window appears.
If Windows Movie Maker does not recognize the capture device, use different capturing software to save your movie to a file. Then use Windows Movie Maker to import the file.
Select a quality setting from the Setting drop-down list. The setting you select will affect the quality of the recorded video and the size of the video file. Settings in the top of the list produce smaller file sizes but are of lesser quality, while those settings towards the bottom of the list produce higher quality videos but can produce very large video files.
The video from the camera displays inside the Record windoweven though you have not started recording.

Figure 3: Record window
Control the camera from the digital video camera controls located in the Record window. Before recording, you might want to pause at a point in the video where you want to start so that you do not miss anything when the recording starts.
Click the Record button, and then click the Play button (the single blue triangle) under Digital Video Camera Controls. The video plays and is stored temporarily on the hard drive.
The Record button changes into a Stop button and the words Recording should flash.
Click the Stop button when you are ready to stop the video. A Save Windows Media window appears.
Type a filename and click the Save button to save the video file to My Videos folder. The saved video is now ready to be used by other video players or can be saved to CD or DVD for future use.
After saving the video, Windows Movie Maker automatically splits the video up into various clips and places these clips into the main window for editing. This document does not address the editing features of Windows Movie Maker. Click Help inside the Windows Movie Maker main window to learn more about how to edit videos. To use more advanced editing features (such as different video compression options and special effects), use ArcSoft ShowBiz, MyDVD, or other video editing software.

Important information about recorded TV programs
Preparing the code key files
Making the backup CD
Using the code key backup CD after a system recovery
This document pertains to the HP Media Center PC using Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
When you record TV programs using Media Center, the TV program broadcaster may have an encryption code that Microsoft includes as a special code in the recorded files. This code is keyed to your PC and is required to play broadcaster-encrypted TV programs previously recorded to your hard disk drive, copied to DVD, or copied to other media. When you perform a system recovery or replace the hard disk drive in your PC, you lose the special code that is stored on your computer.
You can safeguard your capability to play recorded TV programs by making a backup CD and using it as described in this document. Make the backup CD now, before you need it, so that you can use the CD after you perform a system recovery or replace the hard disk drive in your PC. If you do not have the backup CD after you perform a system recovery or replace the hard disk drive, you will not be able to play any previously recorded TV programs that are broadcaster encrypted.
The procedures that follow describe how to prepare your PC, make the backup files you need, copy the file to CD, and use the backup CD to restore the files to your PC after a system recovery.
To safeguard your recorded TV programs you need to:

Prepare the code key files.
Make a backup CD.
Perform a system recovery, if necessary.
Use the code key backup CD after a system recovery.

Important information about recorded TV programs
When you replace the hard disk drive, you lose any files or software that you created, saved, or installed on the PC. You also lose a special code that Microsoft includes in the files of the recorded TV programs.
Without the code, Media Center will not play the TV programs previously recorded to disk or copied to DVD or to other media.

Preparing the code key files

After you set up your PC and turn it on, complete the initial Microsoft Windows setup. Open Media Center and complete its setup.
Record at least one TV program.
Close Media Center.
Open the Microsoft Backup utility: Click Start on the taskbar, choose All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and then click Backup. The Backup or Restore Wizard opens.

NOTE: The code key files and backup CD you make can be used in your PC only.
Click the Advanced Mode link near the middle of the window.
At the top of the Backup Utility window, click Tools and select Options.
Click the Exclude Files tab.
In the Files excluded for all users box, put your cursor over the vertical line between Filename and Application in the title bar, and then click and drag the line to the right to see the full list of entries.

Click Remove, click Apply, and then click OK. The Options window closes.
In the Backup Utility window, click the Backup tab.
In the left box, click the plus sign (+) for Local Disk (C:). The file tree expands. Click the plus sign (+) for Documents and Settings, click the plus sign (+) for All Users, and then click the DRM box so a check mark appears.
Scroll down the list and click the System State box so a check mark appears.
At the bottom of the window, beneath Backup media or file name, click Browse. Because a floppy is too small to save the backup, you need to save the file to the desktop portion of the hard disk drive before writing the file to CD. If the message Insert a disk into drive A appears, click Cancel.
The Save as window opens. In the Save as type box, select Desktop from the drop-down list. In the Save as box, use the default name (Backup.bkf), or type a file name with the extension .bkf and then click Save. The window closes.
Click Start Backup in the Backup Utility window. The Backup Job Information window opens.
Click Start Backup. The Backup Progress window opens. When the process finishes, the window displays the message The backup is complete.
Click Close.
Close the Backup Utility window. Continue with the next procedure.

Making the backup CD

Click Start on the taskbar, choose All Programs, RecordNow!, and then click RecordNow! again.
The RecordNow! window opens.
Insert a blank CD.
Select the Data Projects tab, and then click Data Disc.
Click Continue.
Click Add Files and Folders.
The Select files and folders to add window opens.
In the Look in box, select Desktop from the drop-down list.
Click the backup file (for example, Backup.bkf) so it appears in the File name box. Click Add.
The window closes.
In the RecordNow! window, click the red Burn icon. If a warning window opens, click OK.
Wait while the program writes to the CD and the disc tray ejects.
Remove the CD, label it, and store it in a safe place for use with the next procedure. Click Done.
Close the RecordNow! window.
Because you do not need the backup file you created, drag the file to the Recycle Bin on the desktop.

Using the code key backup CD after a system recovery

NOTE: Before you perform a system recovery, it is important that you disconnect any external hard disk drives, such as the HP Personal Media Drive, to avoid data loss. A system recovery erases all content on an external hard disk drive that is connected to the PC.

Insert the backup CD you made into a drive. The drive window opens and shows the disc contents.
Or
If the window does not open automatically, click Start, My Computer, and then right-click the drive icon to view the contents of your backup disc.
Double-click the backup file (for example, Backup.bkf). The Backup or Restore Wizard opens.
Click Next.
Choose Restore files and settings, and then click Next.
When the What to restore window opens, click Browse, and the Browse window shows the A: drive.
Click Browse again, and the window shows Select file to catalog.
Click the drop-down menu arrow, and click the optical drive with the backup CD.
Click the backup file name.
Click Open, and then click OK.
In the Items to restore box, click the plus sign (+) for the backup file name. The file tree expands. Click the C box so a check mark appears. Click the System State box so a check mark appears.

Troubleshooting Power Supply Issues

Troubleshooting Power Supply Issues
___________________________________________________
In this document:
Power supply light does not turn on (or no power supply LED)
Power supply light on or flashes
This document pertains to HP and Compaq desktop computers.
This document is about troubleshooting power supplies. Power supply problems can be easily mistaken for other startup problems. To try and isolate the problem and use the correct troubleshooting steps, please plug the power cord in, and press the power button on the front of the computer. Read each of the following startup conditions carefully, and then click the corresponding link to go to the correct troubleshooting steps:

If the lights on the front of the computer come on or the power supply fan spins, refer to the HP Support document Resolving Startup Problems (this is another support article).
The small LED on the power supply is missing or does not light and the fan in the power supply does not spin. Please use the steps in Power supply light does not turn on .
The small LED on the power supply comes on and remains lit. Please use the steps in Power supply light on or flashes .

Figure 1: Power supply LED

Power supply light does not turn on (or no power supply LED)
Perform the following steps, in order, until power is restored or it is determined that there is a hardware failure:

NOTE: If the Power Supply fan spins when the PC is turned on but the light does not come on, it is possible the LED is defective. If this is the case, use the section Power supply light comes on or flashes .

Disconnect everything from the PC, including the power cord.
With the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the front of the computer.
Plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
Replace the power cord with another power cord, like the one used by the monitor.
Test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
Ensure that the voltage selector switch is on the correct setting, 115V for North America.

Figure 2: Voltage selector switch
With the power cord removed, flip the red voltage selector switch to the opposite position, wait about five seconds, and then switch the red voltage selector switch back to its original location.
This ensures that the voltage switch is engaged and set correctly for your country/region.
Plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
Plug a lamp into the same outlet to see if the wall outlet has power. Try the computer in a different outlet in order to eliminate the outlet as a possible source of the issue. Test both to see if the wall outlets have power.
Remove all extension cords, power strips, surge protectors and any converters that remove ground. Plug the power cable directly to the wall outlet. Test for power. If this fixes the issue, find the device that is causing the issue and do not use it.
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove the build-up of dust from the power supply fan vent holes. Make sure that the PC is turned off and that the power cord is plugged into a grounded outlet. Only use the end of the vacuum hose near the outside of the fan entrance.

Figure 3: Power supply vent
Plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
If all of the above steps have been tried and the power supply light remains off, use the steps in the next section, use the next section Power supply light comes on or flashes , to reseat the cables and check the power switch connector.

Power supply light on or flashes
Perform the following steps, in order, until power is restored or it is determined that there is a hardware failure:

CAUTION: This product contains components that are easily damaged by ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD). To reduce the chance of ESD damage, work over a non-carpeted floor, use a static dissipative work surface (like a conductive foam pad), and wear an ESD wrist strap that is connected to a grounded surface, like the metal frame of a PC.

Disconnect everything from the computer, including the power cord.
With the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the front of the computer for five seconds.
Plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.

NOTE: If the power supply fan makes an inconsistent grinding sound or stops and starts erratically, replace the power supply
With the power cord removed, flip the red voltage selector switch to the opposite position. Wait about five seconds, and then switch the red voltage selector switch back to its original location. Ensure that the voltage selector switch is on the correct setting, 115V for North America.
Performing this step ensures that the voltage switch is engaged and set correctly for your country/region.

Figure 4: Voltage selector switch
Plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
Plug a lamp into the same outlet to see if the wall outlet has power. Try the computer in a different outlet in order to eliminate the outlet as a possible source of the issue. Test both to see if the wall outlets have power.
Remove all extension cords, power strips, surge protectors and any converters that remove ground. Plug the power cable directly to the wall outlet. Test for power. If this fixes the issue, find the device that is causing the issue and do not use it.

NOTE: If you find the device that was causing the problem was a surge protector, resetting a breaker or fuse on the surge protector may fix the issue.
Remove all attached devices except for keyboard, mouse, and monitor.
Remove any internal component that was recently added, such as video card, memory, CD, DVD, and hard drives. An added device may take more power than the power supply is rated for. If the problem goes away when the component is removed, the only option is to upgrade the power supply to power supply with a higher wattage rating.
Check the power switch:
With the power cord disconnected, press the power button on the front of the PC. The button should release easily and not stick in the socket.
If the button sticks, it should be replaced or serviced.
If the power button does not stick and appears to be functioning, continue using these steps.
With the power cord disconnected, remove the case or side panel.
Follow the wires from the power button on the front of the computer to their connection on the motherboard.
Look at the power switch cables connected to the motherboard. If the cable has become disconnected, connect the power switch cable connector to the connector on the motherboard.

Figure 5: Power switch connector on Motherboard
Replace the side panel, plug in the power cord and test to see if the computer can turn on. If not, continue using these steps.
Find the defective part:
With the power cord disconnected, remove the case or side panel.
Disconnect all power cable connectors from their connectors on the motherboard and from the back of internal devices (the back of drives). Make sure to label or remember where each cable connects for future reference.

Figure 6: Example of common power connections
Replace the side panel, plug in the power cord, and examine the light on the back of the power supply:
If the LED is on solid and is not flashing, the power supply is probably good and the problem is most likely caused by a defective component (processor, memory, PCI card) or a defective motherboard. Have the computer serviced, or remove the components and replace them, one at a time, to find and replace the defective component.
If the LED is still flashing (it should not flash with all connectors removed), plug the power cable into a different power outlet that is known to be good. If the LED still flashes, the power supply should be replaced.
If the LED light is now off, plug the power cable into a different power outlet that is known to be good. If the LED stays off, the power supply should be replaced.

NOTE: If an electrical storm or power surge has recently occurred, then it is more likely that the power supply, the modem, or motherboard is damaged and requires replacement. If the power supply was damaged due to power outage or storm, this may not be covered under the "act of nature" policy in the warranty statement. Refer to the warranty statement that came with your computer for more information.
