Cannot Install Printer On Windows 2000 For Windows 7 Machine?
Jan 30, 2012
I have an old machine running Windows 2000 professional which I use as a printer server for a peer to peer network. My XP machine can see the computer and has the printer installed with no issues.Initially my Windows 7 (Home Premium) machine could detect but not access the 2000 machine. I found the fix (creating/setting the LmCompatibilityLevel key to a Dword of 1) and now I can sign on to the 2000 and access its files. (I ran the refreshpolicies commands on the 2000 also).When I try to instal the printer as a local printer it appears to instal. The existing driver is recommended (and accepted). When I print the test page it does not print. On the windows 7 the print queue eventually shows the page as having an error, while the print queue on the windows 2000 machine is empty throughout
Installing W7 using an old HDD on an old machine to install W7 on a new SSD to be used on a new machine.I'm currently using this old machine from '09 and its performance levels have died down a lot. I bought all the components to build a new machine except I didn't want to spend extra money on another HDD to install the OS on my new 180GB Intel SSD. So basically, I want to use the HDD from my old computer, install W7 onto the SSD, then transfer the drive to my new computer, and use it on the machine and just reinstall all my other files.
The only printer in my network is on a computer running XP, and my 7 laptop needs to connect to it. How do I do this? I already used my XP computer to set up a workgroup, but I can't figure out how to connect to it on 7.
I have a Kodak ESP 5250 printer attached to an XP machine - and have a Windows 7 machine that functions well on the network with the XP machine otherwise, but when I attempt to add a network printer to the Windows 7 machine (the printer is the Kodak mentioned above) I receive the error message above 0x0000000d.
Quicken 2000 won't print even though printer says it's printing; No job in the printer que either. Downloaded another printer driver but that did not do the trick. it shows there's a printer in that que but nothing printed.
I am having difficulties accessing the network share to my Windows 2000 printer [printer attatched via USB to Win2000 computer, shared among all computers]. Both computers are behind a router, and are on the same workgroup.
My Vista machine did not have any problems accessing this printer or authenticating to Windows 2000, but Windows 7 seems to. The problem is when I go to connect to the PC, I am prompted for a username and password, but upon entering a valid one, it does not connect and comes back as invalid.
I attempted to navigate to the share manually through the "add pritner" device, but this did not work either. [Giving //computername/printer]
Using Windows7 RC1, build 7100 and Windows 2000 SP4. No difficulty sharing or authenticating on the LAN with any other OS.
Can I install mac os lion on windows 7 machine. What are the system requirement for mac os lion. I have intel dual core (2.5ghz) processor, 2 gb ram, 320 hard disk. And if I fulfill the requirement of mac os lion then how do I install it.
atm i dual boot XP and windows 7 Ultimate (full retail, not OEM). i want to remove 7 from my machine so i can install it on a new machine. have read various posts how to do that, but the posts are all old and a bit of messing about involved. i dont want to mess up so what i wondered was if i used windows 7 manager to change 1st boot option to XP, then formatted the partition (same hdd as XP) that has 7 on it, would that save all the messing about trying to repair boot failures in XP and the boot option screen, making XP boot correctly? i could then format the old partition where 7 was afterwards.
Back in October my wife's machine had a malware infecion (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic423457.html). After much work by Gringo and me, the machine was declared clean. However, even at that time the Service Pack install would not complete. It would churn and try to install and reboot and certainly act like all was well and completing, but eventually it would say something like "Service Pack failed. Resorting to previous cnfiguration". With the holidays approaching, solving this issue was pushed to the back burner. Now that I have some time, I'd like to get the machine fully updated.
When I bought my Maingear machine, It came with an OEM copy of Windows 7 Professional. I have an old Dell in the other room I'd like to run Windows on. Can I use the disc that came with my Maingear machine to install Windows on the Dell? If I need to re-install Windows on the Maingear at some point, is that license going to work on the re-install or are these licenses a one time/one machine type thing?
On Friday I attempted to install windows 7 ultimate x64 My existing machine is a XP Pro SP3 machine and it meets the system requirements as per Windows 7 upgrade advisor I booted from DVD and followed the steps up to selecting where to installl windows 7
This list showed me
Disk 0 Partition 1 Disk 1 Partition 1 Disk 1 Partition 2
Disk 0 is my C drive where my windows xp is installed - 300GB disk Disk 1 is where is store my files: pictures, music, documents etc - 500GB disk Partition 2 of Disk 1 is unallocated 9GB I selected Disk 0 Partition 1 Then selected Disk Options Format Drive Clicked Ok to the message about destroying data And allowed the install to proceed What i intended / expected to happen was that windows 7 ultimate would be installed on drive C: (Disk 0) and that drive D: (Disk 1) would remain intact and untouched by the process The Windows 7 install completed successfully I logged on to my user account, activated my windows 7 copy I then looked at my disks and what i see is that: Drive C was formatted and windows 7 was installed there BUT The install process formatted drive D and copied the windows XP installation to that drive So i have lost a lot of data that i did not expect to, and, of course, had not backed up in ages. For now, anyway, thats beside the point.I then removed the windows 7 DVD from the drive and rebooted the PC When the disk was removed the machine booted to Windows XP - running from the copy taken earlier on Drive D However, when i replaced the DVD to try to boot to windows 7 again, it began the installation process from the start?I dont remember selecting a dual boot option during the initial install, but maybe the steps i took led me to something like that by some default?
For some reason, I cannot install Windows 7 onto this new gateway PC that I have, but am able to do it on my older PC. Both are capable of running 64 bit, both have new and working memory, hardware. Now I understand that when you do install windows for the first time, your hard drive "marries" your motherboard. Thus when I put the hard drive into the new machine after a fresh install, it gets stuck on "windows is starting" and refuses to boot (ClassPNP.SYS in safe mode).
I have Windows 7 x64 Ultimate.Loaded numerous x64 apps including Office 2010 x64......but had to uninstall Office x64 in order to load another app that requires Office 2010 x86.Uninstall of Office 2010 x64 seemed OK but on reinstallation (using Office 2010 x86) it refuses to load on an x64 system.How can I get x86 to install? Can't find a WOW64 key in the registry.
I needed to upgrade anyway, so I bought a new motherboard, new SATA HDD and a new copy of Windows 7 Home Premium..I had problems with th initial install, it started hanging three quarters of the way through, I checked online and found that if I disconnected all USB connections it installed fine.Now installed it won't load up correctly, or if it does it crashes almost straight away, it runs fine in safe mode, but I can't use Windows Update in safe mode.Rather than reinstall again.I've got the feeling the problem may relate to the build rather than the software, but wanted to check if anyone had experienced similar problems?
I currently have vista 32 and ordered a full version of windows 7 professional sp1 64-bit. The disk that came in the mail says "Reinstallation dvd windows 7 professional sp1 64 bit". Will this Reinstallation DVD allow me to do a clean install of windows 7 64-bit on my computer?
I am getting ready to put a clean windows 7 op sys on my dell machine. I wanna make sure I have all necessary drivers I need. Is there a quick way to do this? Or do I go in device manager and get driver and go to manufacture website to get updated drivers for windows 7 one by one?

I put a new win7pro pc on line. I want to connect to a brother printer on the network connected to a xp pro sp3 machine. I can see it in active dir. but comes back .inf file not found. I tried local install \\machinename\printername,I downloaded drivers six ways from Sunday,I tried everything I could find to try.It either comes back cannot find network or .inf not found.
I tried doing a lot of searching on here and google, but didn't find a resolution. I have a Machine with Windows 7 Alienware x86 hosting a shared network printer. I am able to find and print on a machine with Windows 7 Home Premium x64 with no problem. Both machines belong to the x64 Homegroup. I have a netbook with Windows 7 Starter and find the printer on the network and even try adding it with \hostnameprintername. I find it no problem and drivers install on the netbook, but when I try to print it does nothing. Works great on the other two machines. I also joined the homegroup to see if that will work, but it didn't.
I have a laptop running licensed Windows 7 Pro 64bit (sticker on the bottom for same version with key etc.). I would like to reinstall the OS but have only Windows 7 Pro 64bit upgrade media from another PC. Can I just use that Upgrade Win7Pro64 DVD to reinstall OS on laptop (using that key from laptop..)? AFAIK it doesn't matter what Windows 7 DVD to use (except Home editions), OS will determine what it is meant for by S/N, right?
i have Lan, all computers are windows 7 proffisional and one machine is windows 2003 , workgroup . i made shared folder in windows2003 , some computers can access the shared folder and others can not.when i open network , i see the 2003 computer, when i try to access it , it asked for user name and password. the user is administrator for all , when i enter the user and password from many computers in the lan it is work correctly but in one machine with the same settings its says , you have no permession to access this computer.
i switched my bosses computer to Windows 7 here at work, all went fine.. we are using win98 under VMWARE 6.5 for our windows 98.. everything works great, except i cannot get it to access the printer on the Windows 7 machine, it sees it but always gets a access denied error, i have turned off password sharing.. and any of the xp/Windows 7 machines see it fine.. just the damn 98.. and i can't not use 98 cause of our POS software...
