READING LARGE DOCUMENTS ON COMPUTERS - Maybe E-paper, E-ink, Kindle, Ebook Readers, Or Just PRINT IT?

Oct 1, 2009

I deal with megatons of PDF docs e.g. datahseets, manuals, etc. It's mostly text. As I've been doing computers for decades & health is my priority, not something in "background" I have SUPER healthy environment such as all-black background, silver-colored fonts, no distractions/graphics, brightness at zero, contrast at comfortably low setting which is in hardware + nVidia videodriver, my graphics is 512MB nVidia GeForceMobile. It's too long to explain but everything is as good as it gets.

The bright ideas don't arrive into your head in the office, in bright light while a bunch of people swarm around, you can hear peeing in the toilet, PHONES, etc. I use earplugs 34NRR rating, blue things that far exceed so-called noise reduction headphones (which are a ripoff).

Do you kno whwere bright ideas get born? In a park, woods, the bench, MY CAR - the best, I sit alone in total silence, no cellphones, no dorks of my neighborhood - I just drive out to s State/National Park and that's where I work on complex problems. I need all these PDF's with me. Printing is not an option you obviously understand. One Datasheet for Microchip PIC18F4420 is 421 pages, and I need like a dozen of things of this sort with me.

Print Properties Dialog Not Show Paper Size

Mar 23, 2008

I am using an Epson Lq-300+ dot matrix printer in Windows Vista. I am trying to print bills sized 12in by 6in. I added the custom paper size in the print server and it is saved correctly, however, when I try to print, the print properties dialog does not show the paper size. In fact, there are many paper sizes in the print manager that do not show up in the list of available paper sizes.

Vista Take A Long Time To Print Even Just A 1 Word Paper Using Notepad

May 15, 2010

I am running Windows Vista Home premium 64bit with 8gb ram and an hp c309a printer. My problem is that vista take a long time to print even just a 1 word paper using notepad. Also when i right click the printer in the printer folder it also take time to open the properties, aprox 3 minutes. So if i try to print it takes 3 minutes just to open the tab to click print and to select the printer i wish to use. The c309a is connected by usb cable, and i have tried re-installing the latest drivers and firmware for the printer as well as different usb cables and each of my usb ports. Yet for some reason there is a long 3+ minute pause when trying to print. I have also tried using the network feature and I still have same trouble. Also i have checked to make sure print spooling is on in services. HP has a utility to check for issues for both network and for usb, and the printer passes each test fine. I have done so many full uninstalls and installing of the software as well as the cable changes it is driving me nuts. I have been google'ing for days and days and have had no luck in fixing this issue. One last comment every time i try to print the applications I am using freeze for the 3+ minutes and the window application shows "application not responding", but after 3+ minutes i can finally select the printer and hit print, then at that point it freezes again for about 2 minutes and then prints. I have run multiple virus scans and multiple spyware detection programs and have also run online virus scans using bitdefend and trendmicro as well and i have no virus or spyware. I have also ran "hijackThis" and been told my system appears clean.

Vista Control Large Screen Documents

Mar 23, 2008

I have a Vista PC with a large screen LCD screen attached to it. What I want to do is use a Vista Tablet to be able to control the large screen so can present documents on it such as PowerPoint slide shows and be able to use the functions of the tablet i.e. using the stylus pen to add notes on top of the current document shown on the large screen. Basically use the large screen as a external monitor but have it connect through a wireless network. Does anyone know if this is possible and if so what do I need to get it working.

Print Documents Fail

Mar 23, 2008

I have a Desktop with Windows Vista Ultimate and a Laptop With Windows Vista Home Premium. The Desktop has the printer connect via USB and the laptop is connect to network wireless. The laptop can access network shared files and also sees and installs printer. I then print a test page and it works great. However when I try to print any documents they fail to print. I tried intalling the printer on the laptop as a local printer then adding a local port and mapping it to the desktop \desktopprinter but get an access denied error.

Roll Of Toilet Paper Was Installed On An Older Toilet Paper Dispenser

Apr 13, 2008

First you'd have to activate your roll of toilet paper. Then you'd need to validated it. Of course the license will state that you can only use your roll of toilet paper on the first ass it was used on. If your roll of toilet paper was installed on an older toilet paper dispenser, it won't work, or work so slow that you have to sh*t again by the time you've pulled out enough toilet paper.

The toilet paper would of course be full of bugs and nonfunctional for a lot of people until the first Service Pack, that is if they can install it at all because there are no drivers for your older TP dispensers. But of course, because the original installation is so screwed up, SP1 will fail, and they just have an unusable roll of TP.

So MS would make a easy thing into a chore, and many users will just switch to using a shower to wipe their ass, as that is now easier, or they'll want to install the old XP version of TP that works both faster and easier.On the bright side, public restrooms could be converted in bath houses for Republicans & Fundamentalist Christians.

Cannot Print Office XP Word Documents Or PDF Files

May 5, 2008

I have a new HP laptop that came with windows vista home premium, and I cannot get it to print any office XP word documents or PDF files. What is really odd is that it registers the printer, shows the ink available in each cartridge, and the printer will print my emails from comcast. I loaded the newest drivers, updated everything. I am stumped. Microsoft Vista will not print microsoft word documents.

Print Spooler Not Running: Failed To Load Print Provider Localspl.dll

Mar 23, 2008

In my 64-bit installation, the print spooler server suddenly stopped running (and will not restart).

The system log contains many of these:Error Service Control Manager Eventlog Provider7034None The application log contains these:WarningSpoolerSpoolss1035NoneThe print spooler failed to load print provider localspl.dll.

Paper Size Stuck In Word Pad

Apr 17, 2009

On my elderly friends' computer, when they go to "page setup" in WordPad that came with Vista, the only two options there are "4X6" and "automatic". This narrows the printable area a lot. The margins will not adjust. They asked me if I can fix it, I said I was not sure, need to ask around. Sounds like a registry problem. Is there a fix? What needs to be done? This is the first time they tried to use Word Pad, and no restore points to go back to, would not know where to go back to anyway or when the problem started. It's a Christmas gift PC.

Icons Not Contained With In A Paper Icon

May 14, 2009

This is something that has kind of annoyed me for a while now and can't figure out how to fix. When I manually change the default program for a file type, like I have set my PDFs to open with eCopy Desktop, the icon for each PDF shows up as a paper icon with the eCopy icon contained within. It should just show the eCopy icon. I have noticed this whenever I change the default program for a file type. Is there anyway to get these to show the application icon only, not contained within a paper icon?

Icons Changed To Blank Pieces Of Paper

Feb 21, 2010

Could anyone tell me why some of my desk top and menu icons have changed from the originals to just blank pieces of paper? Only some of my icons have changed such as my Internet Explorer, Firefox, Microsoft Office, Adobe Photoshop, etc. but not all. I have tried to change the icons through the properties menu but do not see the original icon available as an option and could not locate it in the system files anywhere. I have researched somewhat online and found threads in other forums that indicate the IconCache.db needs to be either deleted or rebuilt but at the same time found comments to both fixes that say neither one really works.

I did try to follow one of these instructions just to see if I could locate this cache file but could not find it in my UserAppDataLocal file they indicate it should be in. I am far from being a computer tech type so I've been unable to figure this out and apparently need some expert assistance! Does anyone know of an easy fix to my problem that does work?

Start Menu> Documents> Documents Missing

May 22, 2009

I looked but couldn't find this issue elsewhere. I noticed that when I opened my files, there were extra MY DOCUMENTS folders. Other people who used this computer apparently messed around and copied MY DOCUMENTS folders. I tried to remedy the mess, but did so when I was tired, and seem to have made matters worse. Now, when I go to the Start Menu> Documents the documents are not there. I am at a loss as to how to fix this.

Note, on a different machine with vista 32 SP1 beta2 refresh (never got around to installing SP1 RTM on this box) - UAC enabled and no print problem at all

Vista X64 Not Reading Dvd

Aug 16, 2009

I did a search and found nothing, but here it goes anyway.

I am running Vista Ultimate x64 and this was a fresh install about 1 month ago the OS runs great have not had any problem with it except for this.

I have a LiteOn DL DVDRW-SHW-160P6S the drive works fine when I insert any regular cd, it burns dvd's and cd's just fine it will just not read any preformated dvd's such as games or movies.

I have tried several deferent burning softwares but it does the same.
This has to be a problem with Vista x64 I am sure, I took the drive out and placed it in my other system running vista x32 and it works perfect so it has to be something with Vista x64.

Also I took the DVD drive from my vista 32 system and put into the vista 64 and it did the same thing.

DVD RW Not Reading Blank DVD Disks

Oct 7, 2009

I have a Toshiba A100 laptop with vista home premium installed on it. I am trying to burn DVD disks on my laptop, and when i insert a disk it says i don't have a disk in the drive and i should input one. I tried several DVD disks, including a rewritable one. I looked at a similar Toshiba laptop, and it does write DVD disks.

I don't know how long i've had this prob since, i use this option very rarely. Is there a way to fix the DVD drive without replacing it? and keeping reinstalling windows as last option ? (I'm not sure reinstalling will help). The drive does read DVD disks that have something on them. The drive does burn CD type disks

Not Reading Network Adaptor

Mar 2, 2009

I just bought a copy of "Windows Vista Home Premium" Yesterday. Went home, and clean Installed it. (Yes, i wiped my data before hand. Backed up all my drivers, etc.) Things were going really well, until I try to connect to the internet and no dice. So I thought, ‘hey ok, I’ll just go throw my back up CD in, update the drivers.’ No dice. So I called around. I was told to plug my internet directly into my PC tower, etc etc. And nothing. They didn't know what to do, as usual, so I thought I would try to reset my modem and reinstall my internet. I have Verizon DSL. When I started the installation, I was told that My computer didn't have an Ethernet card, or whatever, and to try to connect using a USB cable. I know that whatever is up with my computer, can't be extremely bad.

This is ridiculous really. Before I wiped my hard drive, about Six hours before installing vista, everything worked. My internet ran on this computer, and the two laptops that are in the household are also STILL running with internet connection now. I can't find any drivers that are actually compatible with vista. And I’m sick of looking for a stupid Internet card model number on the inside of my tower. I actually had to use a little mirror to find the numbers because the card was that close to the side of the tower. But what I managed to find was "537epg". I try to look that up. Thought I finally hit gold, and found out that this download had been deleted from the manufactures database.

Only Reading SOME Files On XP Burned DVD?!

Apr 30, 2008

This is the strangest thing I've seen. Burned a DVD ROM of pics and videos on my laptop (Inspiron 9300) running some form of DLA Software and it worked just fine. I can read them just fine on my laptop. Stick them into a vista machine and the disc reads but 1/2 the files are gone and it's consistent - not a disc read error - There are no videos - there are missing pictures. It's as if the VISTA drivers are incomplete... anyone hear of this symptomology and have a fix?

Disk Drive Not Reading CDs Or DVDs

My CD/DVD drive (optical drive?) is not reading anything i put into it! It makes the same sounds that it always makes when I insert a new CD, but then nothing happens. It does not ask if I want to open it in Windows media player or any other program. So I tried opening all my programs manually, but still it does not show that anything is in the drive.

Every once in a while a small disk thing on the mouse will come up for a moment then leave, but still not reading the disk. I tried to go to device manager and uninstall then reinstall. i tried another disk and still it does not work.
