Unplug the machine, move the jumper from the neutral location to the active location for say 5 or 10 seconds, move the jumper back and plug the machine in. Press the power button and access the BIOS set up. If you cannot access the BIOS set up try unplugging the hard drive and trying again. If the power supply has a manual off switch you may use that instead of unplugging it (the key here is that no power get to the motherboard during the process).
Post back hardware list and a description of all that you see and hear if it does not work.

You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

Laptops require drivers from the laptop manufacturer, not from the device manufacturer, because the hardware is custom made and only HP have the correct custom-made drivers.

So try the graphics driver from HP for that model. Uninstall existing AMD driver first.

Incidentally, it’s strange for that model to have DOS pre-installed. According to my research the Pavilion g6 series leaves the factory with Windows 7 pre-installed (and with drivers from HP).

Since you’ve installed a “clean” retail Windows 7 it’s very likely many of the drivers that Windows Setup has installed are not exactly the right ones. Visit the HP website which serves your country and grab the correct drivers for that model.

Your laptop probably has switchable graphics which means it has an integrated Intel GPU (the default for Windows) as well as a discrete & more powerful Nvidia GPU.

You need to assign the Nvidia GPU to your game, otherwise the default Intel GPU will be used and that’s not powerful enough.

Right-click the game’s shortcut.

In the context-menu, go to “Use with graphics processor”, then click on “High Performance NVIDIA processor”.

I’m guessing the issue is that their are either leading
spaces or tabs and spaces or tabs on otherwise empty lines.

I am hoping this should deal with that:

@echo off
rem !'s are important
setlocal disabledelayedexpansion > new.xml
for /f "skip=2 delims=" %%a in ('find /n /v "" "%~1"') do (
    set line=%%a
    set test=%%a
    setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
    if defined test set test=!test:*]=!
    if defined test set test=!test: =!
    if defined test set test=!test:	=!
    if /i "!test:<currentVersion>3.0.0</currentVersion>=!"=="" (
        echo matchhhhhh
        set line=!line:*]=!
        >> new.xml echo !line:3.0.0=3.0.0.1!
    ) else (
        rem delex var + substring + echo. don't like each other.
        if "!test!"=="" (
            >> new.xml echo.
        ) else (
            >> new.xml echo !line:*]=!
        )
    )
    endlocal
)
endlocal

Notepad will only display plain text. If it is displaying any thing other than plain text then the file you are trying to load is something other than plain text.

Go to a command prompt and navigate to the folder containing the file you are trying to read.

Enter Type filname.txt

If you still get gibberish then it is not a plain text file

Contact whoever sent you the Email and find out what format they sent the file in.
