Had the same “brrrrrrp” problem, and killing the HPPA process or whatever it is called fixed it. Thanks!

Hi Ugljesa on,

I received my EliteBook 8460W 12 days ago… very pleased… untill on recording and playback of sound I too had the noise, that sounds like a “Brrbp” or Warble intermittently..

I have to say a big thank you to you.

I had not seen you post to start… I called HP to ask them what the issue might be.. Spent hrs, turning off the Wifi, Blue-Tooth.. unplugging the AC adapter incase it was noise… DIsabling Web cam and deinstall most of the software (Except HP apps, which I had assumed would be okay).
I updated all drivers.. still the noise persisted..
I then spent 1 hr on the phone, with HP support.. and no conclusion .. other than they concluded they would need to send an engineer…. Who turned up next day with speakers… which needless to say did not help..
So they came back 2 days latter with a new Motherboard.. took 1 1/2 to change it… then… still the same problem.. The engineer left saying I should send it back..
Then, I saw your post….
“HPPA_main.exe process pops-up in that moment (that is HP Power Assistant process) in task manager. When I have disabled Power Assistant, the problem is gone.”
I killed the process.. and unistalled the HP power management utility.. and indeed, you are right.. problem dissapears.
I kick myself for not de-installing it earlier, I had taken everything else out.. I just didn’t expect it to be their own app that caused the issue.

Thanks for spotting it.

Comment on Convert Word Documents to PDF with Automator by david

I have the same issue
I’ve been trying to use automator to convert hundreds of doc files to pdf but I don’t have a “documents” type in my automator, let alone a “Convert Format of Word Documents” action. Where do I get this action?

I dont have Iworks installed but I have Office 2008 installed. How do I resolve the issue of finding “Documents”. Thanks

When I try to create the ISO file he can’t find the etfsboot.com. Is ther something wrong with this line: oscdimg -n -m -bc:\temp\WindowsISO\boot\etfsboot.com C:\temp\WindowsISO . I have a windows7 machine (x64). Can you tell me why etfsboot is not there?

Hello Tomas,

Thank you for all the valuable info.
I am having a problem and I hope you can help.
I setup windows server 2008 R2 – standalone with 1 NIC as VPN server.
I followed your guide step by step but for some reason I am able to connect to server through VPN (windows vista) but can not access internet. As if I am only connected to local resources.
What is it that I am doing wrong?

Comment on Powershell: How to export Windows Eventlogs with Powershell by Hans

Hans — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:30:58 +0000

Hallo Thomas,
ich versuche deine Abfrage um die EventID zu erweitern.
Leider sehe ich nicht wo der Fehler liegt:

# Config
$logFileName = “SYSTEM” # Add Name of the Logfile (System, Application, etc)
$EventID = 403
$path = “C:\Temp\” # Add Path, needs to end with a backsplash

# do not edit
$exportFileName = $logFileName + (get-date -f yyyyMMdd) + “.evt”
$logFile = Get-WmiObject Win32_NTEventlogFile | Where-Object {$_.logfilename -eq $logFileName & $_.EventID -eq $EventID}
$logFile.backupeventlog($path + $exportFileName)
