HP Firebird 800 series lighting problem.

I'd like to say hi to everybody as this is my first post.

Hi.

I've gotten a 800 series HP Firebird, running Vista 64 bit SP1 with DirectX version 10.0. I'm currently having a problem with the LED lights that are supposed to look so awesome. I can't change their color nor turn them off. I turned to google, which resulted in more frustration.

This led me to This, which I downloaded and attempted to install.

The installation goes well, and then a pop-up appears that says "Click yes to install the software" or something of the sort. I choose "Yes", which results in "Your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update. Update has been cancelled. (9993)"

And now I'm stuck.

I'm very tired at the moment; I will hopefully be able to provide more information later as requested. And no, it isn't installed already. My nvidia control panel only has 3D settings, Display, and Video & television. I'm in the advanced view, which is set to show everything, though even in the custom view there is nothing that talks about a "performance" section, that the HP website says should exist if I have this thingymabob installed.

And... Yeah. Frustration.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I will be checking on this form at about 3 PM eastern time to update with any information. (Note-- while I am technologically literate, imagine you're talking to a baby when you give me instructions. I'd hate to waste everyone's time because I'm stupid.)

Thanks-

PS- HP told me to reinstall my graphics drivers. Did not work. And if I've done something stupid, tell me!

Thanks in advance!

Seems like you don't have the required system specs, simple as that.

One would assume that, except for the fact that the program is designed for my system specifically, and I haven't changed anything in terms of hardware or drivers (excluding the re-installing of my graphics driver).

I don't think system specifications are a problem, though if one could shed more light on the matter that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Amfidamant!

+rep!

The program you showed me gave me the blue screen of death in safe mode, in normal mode...

I closed explorer.exe and ran it, VIOLA!

I now kiss your feet. Thank you so much!

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
