I have a USB printer that I would like to configure to print via LPD/LPR. How do I do this? I have installed LPD and LPR already on my Win 7 Ultimate machine. I have also added my USB printer and it prints perfectly fine on its own. However changing the port to LPR does not seem to work.
View 3 RepliesTrying to update manually today and keep getting a loop of blue screen death appears always at 32% of the configuring updates when re-starting up no matter how many updates are selected, which is about 40?? (100Mb)

View 6 Replies View RelatedThe Windows 7 Firewall provides a basic level of protection against hackers as soon as you start your computer up. Although the firewall can be configured to filter both incoming and outgoing traffic, by default it only acts like the firewalls in Windows XP and Windows Vista, that is, it will only filter incoming connections. Configuring the Windows 7 Firewall to filter outgoing traffic is a little easier than it was in Windows Vista but is still a complex process and is not covered in this tutorial.
This video tutorial demonstrates the most common configuration options for the Windows 7 Firewall and discusses when you might need to use them. If you need to turn off the Windows Firewall for any reason, the video will also show you how to do that. Finally, we'll also show you how to access the advanced options for the firewall, although these options are not covered in this tutorial.
My windows will never update. It keeps saying failure configuring updates and reverts changes.. I've tried Microsoft fix-it with no luck.

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I created an image earlier this week, sysprepped it and captured it after restarting the computer.Settings were OOBE / Generalize / Restart.When the computer had finished capturing the image to deploy studio, it restarted and went through the normal 'first run' procedures, but stopped during the configuration process saying:"Windows could not finish configuring your system. Restart the computer to try again" or something similar.I had a look at an earlier thread on here but the answer was similar to 'If you sysprep more than 3 times now it won't work'.
View 2 Replies View RelatedDue to some problems I was having with updating windows, I decided to recover my HP computer to its factory condition using HP's Recovery Manager.I don't have a recovery disk, so I chose to recover from the recovery partition on the hard drive. I chose to not do a backup and the recovering process went fine. After it was done, I was asked to restart my pc and once it restarted, I was at a black screen which said something along the lines of "setting up devices". After a couple of minutes, a small window showed up with the fallowing message:"Windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware." This window shows up when the black screen says "Setting up devices". I press ok, then the black screen says "setup will continue once your computer is restarted". The pc is restarted automatically and this window shows up again.At first, I had unplugged an external USB hard drive and an external wifi antenna, leaving my monitor, mouse, and keyboard plugged. But, after doing some research, I found that some hardware installed inside the pc might also be causing the problem. So, I removed the wireless card, disconnected the DVD drive, and disconnected the cable from the USB and analog ports of the front panel. The only things that were connected (as far as I saw), were the fans, motherboard, power button, and the only hard drive. I went back into the recovery manager and did the recovery again, once it was done and the pc restarted, I was brought back to the same message.
View 2 Replies View RelatedRecently bought a 2tb storage drive and I'm using all 6 sata ports on my mainboard! I've got a 74gb raptor that's got windows xp dual boot with my main os windows 7 though windows 7 is on another drive! I want to remove the dual boot as I don't need windows xp anymore (do I?) the thing is the raptor is my first boot device that gives me the option to boot into windows 7 or xp and if I select the windows 7 as my first device it just comes up with the error can't find boot device so there must be a config file on the raptor 74gb that I need to move to allow me to boot from the windows 7 drive and remove the raptor to use my new drive! Any advice on how I can do this as any software that I could use?

However, the PC did start up (and actually said the restore worked), but not everything is functioning correctly on the PC (there is no HDMI sound for example and Google Chrome Updater will not connect to the internet).

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhenever I start up, I get a message from the Windows Installer stating that it is configuring the Solution Center.

Why am I getting this? I've had my computer for 7 months now. I got 2 discs with the computer. One disc says: Drivers and Utilities Already Installed On Your Computer (Contents: Device drivers, Diagnostics and utilities). The other disc says: Drivers and Documentation (Contents: Device drivers, Setup Guide, User's Guide). Would either of those be what they're referring?

View 10 Replies View RelatedI ordered a refurbished/reconditioned Packard Bell EasyNote TJ74 laptop from a very well known retailer in the UK called Currys. I received it two days ago. Initally, the laptop stayed on for all of about 5 seconds before shutting down, however I have solved that problem by Googling the text and looking here: pxe-e61:media test failure check cable. It was basically trying to boot from something other than the HDD itself, so I set the HDD to the top of the list in the BIOS.Then, the next problem I got was this: I get the "Windows is Starting..." screen, and then a setup services starting message, and then this:"Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume configuration, restart the computer."I restart the computer and... nothing happens. No Windows installation/recovery disk came with the laptop.So, I set the laptop to boot from CD in the BIOS and, using a 64-bit edition recovery disc I found online and ran startup repair using it, apparently no problems were found, and I got a message about ensuring I didn't have any cameras etc. attached... ..Someone online recommended I disable digital driver signing, so I did that by pressing F8 at one point when it was booting... it doesn't seem to have made any difference. Safe mode doesn't work either.Currys have told me they can do nothing but send a courier to my house to pick up the laptop... I don't get a replacement, simply a refund. I needed this laptop for Monday as I start university.I've set it back to boot from HDD and I'm getting the "Windows could not finish configuring the system, please restart" message again and again and again, and the system just constantly restarts and the same message appears. It is a never-ending loop!

I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit on an Intel Corei32100T processor on a Gigabyte H67A motherboard with 8gb ram, connected via HDMI to a Sony Bravia. No sound or video card as its all on the processor. I want to set up the system to record a line-in source for (1) my turntable and mixer, and (2) interface for my guitar and microphone. My device manager shows both Intel(R) display audio and Realtek HD audio. Clicking on the speaker icon in the notification area brings up the Intel display audio mixer with three sources, the Sony, system sounds and Firefox. I'm sure this is controlling the system audio output. No way to a recording mixer. Bringing up the Realtek audio manager still shows me no way to set recording levels. Since I'm planning to use the pc for recording LP to disc (on my second thousand, now, switching from favorite old programs on an XP machine to the newly built system)and for live recording, properly setting up the basic sound paths in the system before setting up Audacity and Artist One from Presonus.

It gets rather madning when you log into a site you use constantly and even though the "save" button is clicked you end up putting in the information the next time you boot up the computer.

View 4 Replies View Related[COLOR=#3485bd !important][COLOR=#3485bd !important]My [COLOR=#3485bd !important]router[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR] is a Belkin Wireless N router. My PC is connected wirelessly to the network. The Xbox is connected via ethernet. I have Windows Firewall completely off and no other firewall installed. In the network map, I can see the Xbox 360. I can see my Xbox and it can see my PC. But they will not link together completely.
I can use get it to work if I have my computer wired to the router. The only problem is trying to go wireless. I go through the setup to get to add extender and get the 8 digit code. I put it in and it goes to the "configuring computer settings" and then times out saying "cannot setup extender". When I go to the online section it only tells me to enable UPnP setting which is already enabled.
So I enter the pin to connect to windows media center, that goes through fine, and it starts contacting on my Xbox and just as it's about to "configuring your extender" it cuts off and displays "Windows media center has encountered an error while trying to configure your computer with this extender". I checked event viewer and the error is as follows:-Media Center Extender Setup cannot create an account for the Extender with ID: uuid:10000000-0000-0000-0200-0025AE2444B5.Error: The system cannot find the file specified.
P.S Tried with all Xbox 360 port forwarding set to open for those relevant ports. Certificate deleted. Network services set up correctly. Firewall been turned off. No anti virus enabled. DMZ filtered on xbox both enabled and disabled, IP address are not clashing and im connected wirelessly on both PC and Xbox.
