Shared Printer Cannot Be Set As Default On One Computer?

Feb 11, 2013

I install a printer on windows 7 desktop and shared it so my laptop can print to the printer, but when i tried to install it on my laptop i get the error message "Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000709) Double check the printer name and make sure that the printer is connected to the network." The printer is in fact installed and it is possible to print a test print, just not set the default printer.i can not set it as default either even after changing the printer from USB to TCP/IP

Default Printer Not Changing With Network

Oct 22, 2009

So, I have several different printers set up for different wireless networks that I connect to; the only problem is that Windows never refreshes or updates my default printer when I connect to a different wireless network.

If I go into the "Manage default printers" and click the network and printer combination (stored in the saved list below) and then click "Update" it will successfully update my default printer to the one it should be. However, that's kind of a pain to have to go through several menus just to update my default printer--it would be faster to do it the old-fashioned way (right click the printer and click "set as default printer").

Any ideas on why this isn't updating correctly--I haven't yet seen it update since setting up my default printers. Or, should this go in a different topic than Networking & Sharing?

Cannot Print From Standard User Account - Default Printer Listed As Offline

Mar 11, 2011

I have a laptop with windows 7 and three different accounts on it. two of the accounts are just standard user and one is a administrator. On the administrator account you can print to my printer, but on the standard accounts you can't. I have made sure that the printer is set to be the default and it does list the printer but says it is offline.

Having Trouble With Pc

May 10, 2012

I have loaded XP on my other pc like 3 times. The first time it lasted a while then started getting blue screens. Reloaded again, same thing. I recently tried again, but this time the system went to blue screen 3 days later. I did notice that after the last MS windows update was finished, it wanted a restart, then after the restart, it would never boot to the OS.

The pc just starts up and goes to the windows boot/splash screen and just keeps repeating itself. I am not sure what to do at this point. Could this be a sign of a bad HDD, or cd-rom drive, maybe the mo-bo?

Would be greatly appreciated if someone could help me with this problem! I do apologize if I should have posted this elsewhere, but am just desperate to get this pc running proper!

Trouble Updating .NET Framework 4

Jul 24, 2011

For a couple of weeks now, I've had these windows updates that wouldn't finish installing. I've been trying the recommended solutions that I could find but nothing really helps.

I've tried repairing the Microsoft .NET framework but it fails to repair for some unknown reason.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled it both manually and through windows updater, both failed.

Having Trouble With A Clean Install?

Jan 29, 2013

So I recently built my first computer, and I was so excited it was going great, I installed all my drivers, and downloaded some of the software, steam, itunes etc. Anyway I will try to break this down to make this easier to follow,I stepped away while it was downloading LoL ,-I came back to see a screen saying Windows could not repair this computer automatically ,I performed some of the options, reverting to an earlier state, and even using the repair tool on windows itself,I then attempted to reinstall windows entirely, and I would just move some key files over from the Windows.old file,Instead my computer asked me to select which windows I wanted to run, after trying them both neither worked,-after surfing the internet, so I used the command prompt to clear my hard drive, I had figured I would just have to reinstall a few drivers and download some stuff no big deal,but instead my computer still prompts me to select one of two windows to run, again neither working,now installing off of the disk doesn't even finish

Having Trouble Installing Programs?

Jan 21, 2009

If your having an issue installing programs where you get the error, "windows installer has stopped working", go into your action center (the flag icon in the lower right corner of your task bar), click "change action center settings", then click "customer experience improvement program settings". Once in the settings, select "No, I do not wish to participate" and save your settings.

Trouble With Rear USB Ports

Aug 21, 2009

I'm having a strange problem with my mouse. This is the first wireless mouse I have ever used. At first I thought is was my mouse that was acting up. Now I am pretty sure it is my USB ports in the rear of the computer.

My problem is my mouse pointer stops moving constantly. It resembles a trashy ball mouse the way it stops moving with the exception that my pointer suddenly catches up with where it needs to be. During all this time I was considering the possibilities that it could be my mouse or a glitch in windows 7 build 7229.

A few nights ago for the first time my mouse quit responding. I was forced to check it out and try a different port. Non of the rear ports seem to work so I tried a front port. I did not have any trouble with the mouse on the front port. After a few hours I tried a different rear port and after a while the same thing started again. Now for the second time switching back to the front port without any problems.

I am curious if anyone else has had this problem. What do you think it could be?I realize this could be fixed in the Retail versions of Windows 7?

Maybe a driver update is needed.

Does this sound like a problem with the USB chip?

Could there be interference with my wireless network adapter?

I'm not really sure where to start diagnostics. I don't really want to pull my adapter if I can get out of it. What do you guys think?

Canon 3200F Scanner Trouble

Aug 21, 2009

I have a Canon 3200F scanner which I can't get working on 7 RC 32-bit.

I have downloaded the driver from Canon, installed it and nothing really happened. I then discovered that I needed to install a WIA driver, which I downloaded. But when I try to install it 7 says it may not have installed properly.

The scanner now shows up on the import list under Photoshop CS4, but when I select it to import it then stalls for a short time then tells me it can't connect, and to check the leads etc.

Anyone got any ideas.

Lastest Nvidia Driver For Win 7 Trouble

Mar 29, 2009

I just installed the latest Nvidia driver for Windows 7. I restarted and now have a black screen with the watermark in the lower right corner and a mouse pointer. How do I even roll back the driver? Should I hard shut down and try again?

Forgot about trying in safe mode...hope that does it.

Roll back in safe mode did it but I would be careful using these drivers for x64 Win 7. They say that's what they're for.

Edit more info: If you're looking at this...don't try to uninstall the driver that didn't work form "programs and features". It took ALL display drivers off my system and I went through hell again trying to get any display driver to work.

Re Partition Trouble Sign Of Bad Drive

Aug 5, 2012

First start with explaining that I'm new to the forum and to some of the more in depth setup processes. I am currently trying to re-partition my hard drive in order to setup a dual boot. I have just installed windows 7 on the computer, not carrying over anything from the old OS.When I open computer management, it states that of the total 76,000 MB's of the single existing partition, only 1,413 MB's is available to be shrunk by.This is an insufficient amount for the second partition I require for the dual boot.Additionally, when I take a different approach and try to re partition from with in the OS that I am trying to dual boot with, it gives me a warning that the program (gparted) detected that the disk has at least 51 bad sectors when I unmount it.

Trouble Booting Automatically After SSD Swap-over

Dec 14, 2012

I had an SSD that was 120 gig. I recently bought a larger 240 gig samsung SSD since I got a free copy of far cry 3 and my old SSD was nearly full.I used the program that came with the samsung drive to swap the data over.It had all the appropriate settings listed, and it seemed pretty straight forward. I attached the new SSD drive and had all the space on it listed as "unalocated" as the Samsung Wizard explained. I copied over the two partitions on the old drive over to the new Samsung. I then removed the old 120 gig drive and tried to boot with the new Samsung and the 1TB data drive that I had attached all along.I shut down, removed the 120 gig drive and moved the 240 over to the same sata cable that the 120 was on.When I tried to boot, it failed.A screen came up that offered to automatically repair the install, but it was unable.It looked like it would boot into this same error over and over. I used the boot manager thing on my mobo using the f8 key. I chose the Samsung SSD from the list and it offered up 3 choices.

1. Windows 7 premium
2. Windows 7 premium (recovered)
3. Windows 7 premium (recovered)

If I choose option 1, it repeats the same "unable to repair so lets reboot...."If I choose option 2, the computer boots normally, it looks exactly like before, and all is good. Till I reboot. I don't know where the 3 installs that its offers as options. I need a way to set it to always boot to the Windows 7 premium (recovered) install.

Trouble Networking WinXP With Win7

Dec 23, 2009

I am having a problem similar to what somebody else has posted here in the past. I have Windows XP Home on my Desktop and Windows 7 on the laptop. I have them both networked. I am able to view shared Desktop folders from the Windows 7 laptop with no problems, but when I try to view the shared laptop folders from the XP Desktop, it keeps telling me to type in a username and password. On the Windows 7 laptop, I have it set in the Network and Sharing Center to not require a password.

I originally had it set up as a homegroup, then changed it to a workgroup on the laptop, but the same thing happens. I also changed the Computer Name on the laptop, but I still have to type in a username and password on the XP Desktop. Once I enter the username and password, I can freely access the laptop. But once I restart either machine, however, I then have to type the username and password on the Desktop again.

Can anybody assist me with this matter?

Random BSOD And Trouble Installing Win 7

Dec 6, 2009

Well the heading of this thread interested me a lot, but my problem is somewhat different. I had a hell of a time installing Win7. Had to borrow a friends Geforce to finish installation since my ATI card (and I read in many places that the ATI drivers bundled with the win7 installation can cause trouble with HD4850). The installation would go to the final setup screen then BSOD every time.

Plugged in the Geforce and voila, I entered windows. I then switched back to the HD4850 and updated the drivers in safe mode. However, the stability was short-lived and I got recurring Power-Kernel critical errors (0x124). So after a week of complete instability and replacing every single driver I could think of, I gave up and went back to XP.

NOW the trouble started. I'm getting random resets and powerouts when running the same WinXP installation I had used before with no problems at all. I would think that a PSU either goes or doesn't, but is it possible that something has reduced its voltage output?

I'm pretty worked up about all this, since my computer was 100% stable before I tried Win7, now I can't even revert to XP. I can get into the OS for a few minutes, not even enough time to install chipset drivers. Safe mode just BSODs.

Trouble Signing Onto My Laptop / Forgot Password

Sep 12, 2012

I haven't signed on to my laptop that I bought from former co-worker of mine (really savvy with computers) in a few months and I've forgotten the password to log-in. There was no animosity between us after the purchase - he ended up quitting and getting a job elsewhere. I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 with Windows 7 Professional. All though, as evidenced from the bottom of the laptop, he did upgrade the OS at one point from Windows Visa but I am not sure which edition it was. I downloaded the Password Reset Wizard via from my parents home computer on to a new/unused USB flash drive. I clicked on the appropriate drive, typed in a new password, typed it again to confirm and typed in the password hint. After doing all of that, this error message came up "An error occurred while the wizard was attempting to set the password for this user account." Did I do something wrong? And at this point, I am stumped. I haven't been able to get in touch with the former co-worker. Should I call Microsoft and ask for them to send me a Windows 7 disk, buy it online (saw the cheapest price on Newegg for $139.99) or should I try a Windows password recovery tool?

Leadtek Dtv1000t TV Card Driver Trouble

Jul 20, 2009

I have a Leadtek dtv1000t card. Windows 7 will not allow the device to start. It says "Driver Blocked due to incompatibility"

I had it working on an older build of windows 7. Using the 7 or vista drivers would cause a bluescreen on startup but the xp drivers worked fine.

It seems this issue was recognised by ms and now the driver is blocked on the rtm.

I know the xp drivers work but windows blocks them, i have tried many different drivers, all blocked.

Is there a way to force windows to allow these blocked drivers?
