HP Firebird 800 series lighting problem.

[Wasapiguy2]

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!

Bump for help?

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

 

[Wasapiguy2]

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.

Actually, it is your graphic driver that's causing problems...

Download and install this:

Then, try installing "HP Firebird ESA System Tools Application Update", which gave you error before.

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!
