Just did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro on an HP dc7700, got the drivers fixed then did and update of windows. After doing the updates, Internet Explorer 8 no longer works. Can still connect to our server, but no outside connectivity.
View 7 RepliesI'm hoping to find an answer on why my computer is having a problem installing any updates now, be it windows updates, or other programs like acrobat reader and such...and if my no print issue may be related. I had no problems for a while running updates when I bought the computer in February, now as of a couple months ago, it always has errors when trying to install them. I have a Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook PC running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. This problem occured about the same time that I noticed a no print issue, so I'm wondering if they are related. I tried 2 different printers that I've never had issues with until recently. Lexmark 3350 and a HP 932C are the printers with the proper drivers installed and the Lexmark has even worked on this computer a couple times before back when I first got it. I ran into this issue so I got out the HP to try and same thing. I click print, from any program, MS Office, Acrobat reader, whatever, and it does nothing...the program thinks it sent it, but the Print Status shows nothing, and nothing more happens. However, when in printer settings I can click print test page, and it'll spit it right out.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWindows 7 Ultimate, 32 bit. Not on a domain. After I installed SP1, "Switch User" disappeared as an option. "Hide entry points for Fast User Switching" in GP Editor is set to Not Configured.
I also checked the Application Information service as Andre suggested, and it was not running. I started it, set it to automatic startup, and rebooted. Still no joy.
I have uninstalled SP1, and I now have the option to switch users as I did before installing SP1.
I'd prefer to keep my system updated, but for this system anyway, the ability to switch users as opposed to logging off is more important.
i bought a new setup, moved all old stuff to another empty computer case or what.the only i didnt moved to the old case was the PSU and some harddrives. first time i started the computer with the SSD (with functional OS of win7x64)everything works fine.. but it crashed some random times inside the windows, i thought it was because of the drivers, i got that fixed by removing one graficcardSo i thought it was better to whip all the data from SSD and make a clean installation, stability installation.i wipe the SSD drive from my old OS and installed a new one, in one step of the win7x64 installation, it crash and wont boot upstrange, i had not been at the bios with my fingers, after trying with some solution in 6h i change the ODC-> marvellSata6G controller to AHCI mode, main -> storage configuration to ACHI, in bios. Wont work.. I tried to change them to IDE, wont work either. I removed the two others ram sticks, it wont work either..uhm,the total time i been working of this in three days to get a clean Windows 7 to boot at this motherboardat last.. i luckly installed the OS to the SSD at my new setup and then move it to the old setup. That works.. first time, then the computer wont boot windows again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe used to use ZetaFax, I'm told. I'm new to the company. We no longer use ZetaFax. Since bringing in Windows Vista Business and Windows 7 Pro computers, and Windows 2008 Server, we now use Windows Fax and Scan.We use Fax Server on the server with quad port RocketModems installed.Now, here's the problem.Some of our employees are having problems using Windows Fax and Scan. The way they use faxing is by finding the file (usually an Adobe Acrobat pdf), open it and then go to the Fax printer.This then auto faxes the document using Windows Fax and Scan.For most of our employees, this works fine.But, suddenly for some it does not work. When I visit the ones who can't fax, I open Windows Fax and Scan and try to launch it. It does not launch. On some of the computers, the user gets a message that the format must be tif. For others, they get a message saying that they can not access to the document folder.I'd like to remove Windows Fax and Scan on these computers and try to reinstall it and see what happens. How can I do that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just recently built a new computer and am trying to use my older vga monitor with it. The monitor displayed fine while installing the os but after it finished the monitor goes right into sleep mode. I updated all my drivers for the onboard video and my video card and have switched between the two in my bios trying to make it work. So far the monitor displays up to the loading windows screen then goes straight into sleep mode. The most annoying thing is that the monitor works fine as a secondary monitor, just not a primary.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe have a script that installs an application on a user's box. It can run on XP, Vista, Win 7.... So it uses the ver command and find to figure out what the os is. It used to run on my win 7 box. It no longer does. The find command now gets an error. I tried substituting findstr and it returns a good completion code regardless! The grep command works great but most machines don't have grep so that is not an option to use. I would just like to figure out why find doesn't work. The date for find.exe in the System32 folder says 7/13/2009. Is there something I can do to restore find? Listed below is the the command & output that helps determine the OS version using find/findstr/grep
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Sceptre X20WG Naga 20.1" monitor on a DVI connection with my EVGA GTX460 card. I was using it yesterday while studying for finals and decided to hook up my 37" Westinghouse TV via VGA connection, using a VGA-to-DVI converter to plug into the graphics card, as the card only has dual-DVI and mini-HDMI outputs. It was working grand as a second screen, no issue at all. Now, today, I turned on my computer and my Sceptre Monitor wasn't outputting any images at all, it just said no signal detected and then went to sleep, though my computer was still on.
So I turned on the TV out of curiosity and found that the TV was now the main screen, still with the VGA connection, and I hadn't unplugged anything since yesterday. So I logged in and right-clicked on the desktop, went to screen resolution, and here it says that the TV is the only screen detected, even after hitting detect. So I unplugged the VGA from to TV and plugged it into the Sceptre Monitor. Turned on the computer and the monitor worked like a charm on the VGA cable. I also plugged the DVI cable that I was using for the monitor into the TV and that worked like a champ too.
The only reason this is bugging me is because I won't always be using the TV as a main display because it's kinda of a pain to sit close to a screen that big. So I am currently on this forum while my monitor is using the VGA connection. It also seems to vary from which DVI port I use on the videocard because if I plug the VGA cable with converter into the 2nd port, there is no video output, but if it's in the first port, works great. I'm going to try just the DVI cable to the TV on each card port to see what the deal is there.
So basically:
The cable isn't the problem.
The VGA needs to be in the 1st DVI port on the card to work.
The DVI doesn't work at all when hooked up to the monitor.
What I want is to be able to use DVI on the monitor and VGA on the TV.

Now, Flash doesn't work online anymore, in any browser. The content starts to load, then the browser freezes, and I have to force quit it.
I have the most recent version of Flash Player, and I can still play .swf files I make myself, so I don't know what to do anymore.
I'm fairly sure that this isn't an isolated problem, as a friend of mine is experiencing the same thing.
In a possibly related problem, .avi and other video files on my hard drive no longer play, nor do music files.
I doubt my specs are needed, since this is almost certainly a software problem, but I'm running on a Dell Studio, with a 2GHz dual core processor and with 4Gb of RAM.
So I opened up my tower to do some dusting and I accidentally dropped the tower door and the wires that power the tower door fan was ripped off. There was a red and black wire that has these weird looking prongs on them. I first did not know where they went... So I just looked at the 4 pin whole plugs and started to stick these two in these plugs to test... First few times I did this; the pc restarted and there was a spark....(could this be y my background no longer works?) Then I found two holes out of the four pinned plugs that powered my fan.. Hurray I thought cause the fan was powered, the blue light was on and I was happy for that moment. Then I realized my background was just a blank color.. So I right clicked/personalize/desktop background/ set up the photos I saved/hit save changes. and nothing. no background.

View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I plug in or unplug my external display to my laptop, my display options no longer automatically reconfigure as they used to do. Now if I unplug the monitor, Windows acts as if it's still there, and windows that were on the monitor stay offscreen (as does the cursor, if that's where it was). I can manually move the cursor back, right-click load graphics properties and make changes OR do an F-key combo to move everything back on the laptop screen OR program a hotkey but these are all pretty annoying for one reason or another. Unfortunately this must have started happening sometime in the last two weeks--at the same time as I made a load of major computer changes.
However this did NOT include a graphics driver change (my graphics driver is current). At this point I feel it could be anything, but I'm wondering if it could be a recent BIOS update I did that HP recommended. By way of troubleshooting I did run Windows in safe mode with ONLY the "ATI Catalyst" and "AMD External Events utility" running on top of the basic services, in case a newly installed service was stealing hotplugging messages, but that didn't do anything. I've also gone exhaustively through my graphics driver settings to make sure everything there looks correct.
a few days ago on boot up my laptop restarted and then attempted windows repair. came back to life. tonight while viewing Internet my screen went black. i had to hold the power button down to restart. i chose start windows normally. when attempting to load windows i got a blue screen saying "attemp to restart display driver has timed out". after a few attempts i have managed to get it into safe mode and deleted the nvidia graphics driver. restarted and all was fine (low resolution). i installed the graphix driver again an it happened again. is my graphics card broke?

I am using a genuine windows 7 ultimate 64bit on a Fujitsu sh560 and I have recently updated various drivers (a complete list is below) from the Fujitsu website itself. These were intended for my laptop model and have been verified by my computer. I installed them all at once before restarting my system. Upon logging on to my computer, I notice that windows aero doesn't work and neither does my internet, my sound system, and my fingerprint scanner. I can not roll back any drivers, I cannot use recovery, and i cannot start any services without getting an error message of 1068. I then went to task manager and it has a completely depleted list of running processes from my previous startups.

Audio driver by realtek
Modem driver by atheros
Chipset driver by Intel

View 3 Replies View RelatedI try to help people with internet connectivity issues. Lately, this has been bothering me a lot. You get into safe mode with networking (f8 at startup) and everything works fine.The connectivity is fine. Some people have slow browsing issues, they are sorted out in safe mode with networking. For some, the computer freezes up while browsing in normal mode, but works perfectly in safe mode with networking.
The next valid step in troubleshooting would be to perform a clean boot (How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" state) i.e. disable all of the startup items and services.
But, I've notices, quite a few times, this does not work. People have performed scans and found no viruses (so this means that we cannot attribute the cause to spyware).
My question is : Is there something we can do if a clean boot does not work?
I have an OLD computer with a 2.4 GHz processor and 1 GB ram, running XP 32 bit. I wanted to upgrade to Windows 7, So I tried to install 32 bit windows 7, knowing my computer couldn't handle 64 bit. However, at the end, it simply told me "Installation Failed" and reverted to XP, with all my files. I tried multiple times, then I tried installing 64 bit windows 7, and surprisingly, it worked. However, it is laggy beyond belief, so I tried installing 32 bit again. Again the installation failed. Now I'm thinking of reverting BACK to XP.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm working on a re-install of all components following a complete corruption of the boot sector on my drive which could not be fixed with repairs. The last time I installed everything fresh, I had no issues. Between then and now, there have been no hardware changes on my system, but now I am having issues installing the IDT Codecs. I keep getting an error along the following lines: Quote: ExitError: Error=Device Object not present, restart the system and run setup again. Running under compatibility mode, and running drivers from both the motherboard CD and the manufacturer website both have the same effect. The CD, when booted, says "This OS not support!" and only contains 32-bit vista codecs. ECS' website download indicates the IDT drivers as being compatible with Windows 7. Both do not work. It is almost as if the hardware "disappeared," despite the fact that I was using the drivers quite successfully till just 2 days ago, when the boot sector went kaput.
Windows has installed its own default set, which do nothing to power the 8mm jacks which I use with my speakers, but instead put sound through the HDMI, which is useless because I use a dedicated graphics card. I have tried uninstalling this codec and re-installing IDT, to no effect. Windows replaces with its own default codec.I have referenced this thread here, but offered solutions do not seem to work for me: Intel IDT Audio Driver will not install
Does anyone know whether there is a difference in performance between doing a clean install of Windows 7 vs upgrading Vista? Any better stability? I'm just wondering whether it's worth the trouble of the clean install.
