There is currently only one solution to the problem or maybe two if you’re lucky.
Solution 1. Start computer in ”Safe Mode” do a system restore to a previous date
when the computer worked fine. Uninstall “Easy Access button support” in “add remove”
programs.
Get SP21795 from Compaq site, and install this ”update”.
This does not work for alot of ppl but it seems to help for some.
So what is the problem with starteak? It seems to be a conflict accruing in winXP
home edition with Symantec Norton antivirus installed. So the solution should be
to do a clean XP install and skip to use the program ”starteak.exe”. In most cases
the ”Compaq operating system cd” is a “Clean” Windows XP home cd and is bootable.
Insert the cd and install windows XP Home.
After this you have a cd called Compaq restore plus “start with this cd for restore”
on this cd most of the components that windows does not detect have there drivers
on this cd. Just go to device mgr and update driver for each of the devices that
is under other devices with this cd present in the cdrom driver. Some computers comes
with other applications such as IndeoDVD etc these are also on the cd but can be
a bit trickery to find. A tip is to search on the cd for “DVD” and check if the installation
isn’t in the directory called dvd on the cdrom.
If you cant find all devices there are a posiblity to find the drivers on Compaq
homepage.
Sorry for my English. I’m not native English speaking.
