I have a Dell A960 All-in-One Printer installed (Hardwired) onto my Vista Ultimate x64 Machine..I have installed the Drivers for it and it is working fine on this machine.Now, I have an HP Laptop running XP on it, which is connected to my Network, wirelessly. I can see my network and printer and put folders and files into my network folders/computers. It appears that I can print as well, as when I print, the window pops up and says "Printing". Problem: It won't print! I go into my Printer in my Vista Machine and it shows in the status "Deleting" The Printer is "shared".
I'm running Vista Ultimate on my present computer, have full installation dvd. I'm buying a new Dell computer that comes with Vista Basic installed. Can I move Vista Basic from the Dell computer to my old computer and install my Ultimate on the Dell?

I have a lot of data stored on this drive and i don't know why it suddenly appears empty. I don't want to lose all of the data already saved on this disk. What should i do?

I?m trying to install a network printer on a Vista machine. Vista is able to locate the printer on the network but when I select it for installation, for some time, Vista tries to connect and then pops up this message: "Failed Connecting to Printer - Access Denied" And then another window pops up with this message: "Spooler Subsystem Application stopped woring and has been closed." In fact the spooler service always stops, so I have to restart it on the services windows, within Administrative Tools of the Control Panel. The machine is new and has been installed yesterday. Everything else works fine. The printer I am trying to install is on a Windows XP Professional machine within the same network (naturally).
I have a Dell PC with XP Home and a Dell A960 Printer attached to it. I also have a new HP Laptop with Vista premium that has also had the same printer attached to it at times so the drivers are installed on HP laptop. I recently installed a router so I can use laptop wirelessly. That works fine. However, I am unable to print to the host printer wirelessly. I get message saying printer cannot communicate with computer. I tried everything I found on Google searches. I have enabled printer sharing on both. Do I have to make the Workgroup names the same and if so do I change the Dell with XP or the HP with Vista? I changed the Dell once to no avail so I changed back. Do computer names have to be same? I am a novice at networking.
Dose anyone knows if they make a printer cable: I received a new lab top and it didn't come with the older printer jack on the computer. I guess I need to use one of the usb ports? My Epson 660 still works I hate the idea of getting a new printer when my old one works.
Just installed Vista SP2. Everything seems to work OK except for my Dell 1720 printer. It now prints an extra page before the actual document to be printed. There are just a few spurious characters printed at the top of this unwanted page. The following "proper" pages are OK. I have, so it seems, the lastest driver available.
I cannot set the default printer in Vista Business with SP1. I am connected to a domain trying to set a network printer hosted from a server as the default printer. I have seen a dozen or more questions similiar to this in this group as well as on other forums and found no answer. I see a MS-MVP come on and tell people to remove local printers such as the XPS and adobe printers. This is a ridiculous solution. Sure it may allow you to connect to a network printer but you have removed printers that you are going to need to use again. Unacceptable.
So far the only other solution that does not include deleting all the local printers off of the machine is to make sure you have write permissions to the default printer registry key. I have checked this and I do have write permissions(Full Control). SO WHAT NEXT? IS MICROSOFT EVER GOING TO COME OUT WITH ANOTHER FIX FOR THIS?
I have a Dell XPS 420 desktop with 2 CD/DVD drives. I want to copy a DVD to my computer. How do I do that? When I place the disc in the drive a box comes up to play it but not to copy it.
computer is 4 days old.keyboard going funny for no reason.nothing loose. trying to email and letters sometimes dont appear or get stuck.i'll look up from typing long sentence and its missing bits. does that make sense?
pressing the keys feels the same as normal,nothing sticky yet when writing it 'sticks'. or i have to type very very slowly to get a letter out.sometimes it works ,sometimes it wont but then will give me many of the same letter in a row ie repeating it depending on how many times i've pressed..
i phoned Dell and they suggested i turn off computer and restart-no good. and then said try a different keyboard so we can work out whether its that or a software program. i dont know what to do now cos my old keyboard is wireless so i obviously cant plug it in like the current one. how do i do this? i am only a beginner so please can you only give really simple answers with detailed explanation/directions. its not my computer but my husbands so i dont know how any of it was set up.
Hey guys, I recently ordered a dell inspiron 1420. I wish to install vista ultimate 64bit on it, however, I want to know if its even possible? Since, I do not see a 64bit section for Dell's driver download website.
I bought a Dell Inspiron in June 2008, with Vista SP1 factory installed;pgraded now to SP2. After many fruitless attempts at running W7 Upgrade Advisor, it tells me that the Hard Drive Controller is incompatible, and furthermore that I need 15GB free disc space, but I have only 14GB. I have the following hard discs:
I have more than 800GB available. I have not seen any mention anywhere of others getting a message like the one I got. Has anyone encountered anything like this?
How far can you expand your average dell computer? if i can change the motherboard in my factory dell vostro 410 desktop, so that i can replace it with a motherboard that is SLI enabled? If so what motherboards should i be looking for, is there a specific one due to the size of the case? Also, being a dell computer i realize your limited into what your changing, does that apply to the PSU and CPU?
i have installed a printer from my main pc which uses xp pro to my new vista lap top ----- it shows the icon for the printer in the tray but i cannot still print any thing
I just upgraded my XP home edition to Vista home premium with an upgrade disk provided by Dell. Before the upgrade I uninstalled my HP 2575 printer and software because it was listed as a compatibility issue. After upgrade I reinstalled new software from HP for my printer from the HP website. I plugged in the USB cable from my printer. Vista recognized the new device but would not put it in the printer folder in the control panel. Vista did find driver software online but could not install it. The HP solution center tells me no HP devices have been detected. When I try to print I get a message that I don’t have a printer hooked up. That’s the back ground here is what I have done.
I have updated Vista; most were successful some security ones failed. I have Service pack 1 I uninstalled and reinstalled HP software many times I started my spooler and reinstalled printer and software many times. I checked Task Manager and the hpqste08 services are running. I uninstalled virus protection and turned off the firewall. I have done everything I can find at HP, Microsoft and here. I tried to reload Vista but got a Worker Thread Returned at Bad IRQL error message so I stopped reload.
The one odd thing I did find was in the Device Manager. In the Device Manager the HP 2575 is listed twice. Once under IEEE 1284.4 compatible printer and once under Other Devices. When I click on the one under IEEE 1284.4 compatible printer and update driver software it finds the driver and says it’s up to date. When I do the same on the one under Other Devices, windows finds the software for this device but encountered an error when trying to install it. It does this when looking online and when looking in C: drive.The printer still does not show up in the printer folder in the control panel.
I have a Vista Home Premium Laptop, an XP Home laptop and an XP Home desktop (and an XBox 360) connected to my Linksys wireless G router and an XP Home desktop connected via CAT5 to the same router. All connect to the internet fine. The XP laptop finds and uses the printer on the desktop fine. I had setup a share of the Canon I560 printer, connected to my XP desktop, on the Vista laptop and it worked fine. I don't believe I made any changes, but now it won't find the printer and I can't seem to install a new copy.
The Vista machine will not detect the printer and won't even find the XP desktop or laptop on the network. The XP machines find each other fine. All machines get their IP address from the router via DHCP. All are in the same workgroup, or it seems so. Strangely the Vista machine shows WORKGROUP and the XP machines show Workgroup, even if I type the name in caps, XP still shows Workgroup and Vista WORKGROUP.............
I have a Vista Desktop that has a wireless router. I have shared a printer, but I would like my Mac laptop to be able to print to it. Do I install the printer driver on the Mac or on the Vista machine? If I install on the Vista machine, is there a special installer? The printer is an HP DeskJet 2445.
I want to upgrade my Dell Dimension E520. my current specs are: Intel Pentium D 925 4Gb RAM Nvidia 7300LE 256mb 750Gb HD Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit

I have a Dell D820 w. 1 GB RAM. When I try to install Vista and the computer is loading the DVD - I'am told that the pc/cpu is not able to load a 64 bit appl. It is a Intel T2500 @ 2.0 Ghz. CPU. I have tryed to change/setup the BIOS (version 7) any posible way. Have anyone tryed to install Vista x64 on a Dell D820
My Dell XPS with Windows Vista constantly locks up. I thought maybe it was McAfee causing the problem so I uninstalled it and installed Norton. The problem is still occuring. I even upgraded the ram from 2 gb to 4. I turned off the Gadgets on the sidebar, run defrag, and reboot. It doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, whether I'm in Windows Mail, using IE7 or in a program. I've read many posts regarding this but haven't found a resolution to my problem. If anyone has some new advice, I would love to hear it.
I just restored my Dell Inspiron to it's original factory settings. It has Vista Home 32 bit. I got the "Reset was succesfull" screen. Now at start up I get my user name (there was always only one user acct.) and when I type my password it does not accept my password. It may be possible that when I purchased the computer three years ago I used a different password and then changed it and have just orgatten that I did that but I doubt it. Should I just throw this thing away or is ther any solution to get past the welcome screen?
This is a very interesting release. It adds full support for a lot of new hardware. AMCC/3WARE users will be happy to see SMART data for all of their EIDE/SATA hard disks. Full Intel QST support has been added too (you need to RUN AS ADMIN on some OS). Support for new SMBuses (like nVidia MCP79 and SiS968) is there. New chips (like the ADT7470 and the ADT7462) have been added and support has been improved for some others. ITET8720 identification has been greatly improved. DELL support is now tested on more chipsets. Windows7 32 and 64 bit has been added and verified. Both the installer and the executable are now digitally signed. A lot of refinements, improvements and bug fixes were applied. Quote: 4.38 - added full support for AMCC/3ware SMART readings added full support for Intel QST added full support for ADT7470 added full support for ADT7462.... disabled DELL support on 64 bit systems added /NODELLSCAN command line parameter fixed daylight saving time handling in event emails added full support for Windows 7 32 and 64 bit fixed a minor bug that caused the main window to be minimized when clicked CONFIGURATION / SPEEDS SpinBoxes now allow manual edit...
i have a Dell 1520 latop with OEM vista home, less than 3 years old and with dell getting ready to start selling laptops with windows 7. i am wondering will dell offer a upgrade to my vista OS?
i have a ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT which is crossfire compatable, so what im wanting to know because im not really up on the connections graphics cards use, is there a slot free in my pc (dell inspiron 530.
I just got a dell 730x with vista so so lost....but I got it to turn on! how do I know what version and what "type" of vista I have? so, at least I can speak correctly about what I have installed...
So who brokered that deal? I have a Studio Laptop I was going to reinstall the OS but can't because I have to wait for the owner to get me the Dell DVDs. So how does that work? Are the days of clean installations of Windows over?
i have been able to locate wireless networks and connect to unsecured ones, but i have been unable to connect ot my WPA-PSK wireless lan network. I tried removing the security, and this works, but as soon as i re-enable the security, it's not having it. i've tried using different forms of encryption but still no luck.
My 1 year old Dell Inspiron 518 came with Vista Home PremiumX64, and the warranty expired a week ago. They won't talk to me without charge.
I have a blue screen. One error was a Stop 0x00000050, Fatal System Error c0000221 - Unknown Hard ErrorSystemRootSystem32 tdll.dll. Another blue screen error read, 0xc004D301 Security Processor reported the trusted data store was tampered.
I was able to go under the Boot Menu and run a diagnostic. It said Error Code 2000-0123 (Memory Integrity Test Failed).
I haven't been able to get Windows to load at all, nothing I try is working, and I don't want to spend money for servicemen to come in. Anything I can do that's not too involved?
