My computer has been running slow since we had all our files switched over from our old computer to our new one.It's an HP we got in December 2010. Programs run slow and whenever we turn the computer on from sleep mode,it usually takes 30 seconds or so to get anything requiring an internet connection to fully work. Disks won't open most of the time and I can't install anything. Whenever we try to scan our computer for viruses, it will end up telling us it couldn't finish the scan because it wasn't able to scan a certain file.
I just noticed that in Device Manager my printer is showing in the disk drive section as a USB device, and in the printer section it is also listed, where it shows my printer as a (DOT4PRINT), and lists a printer as: Printer IEEE 1284.4 compatible.
I have a problem with my printer, my printer stops working frequently. printer continues to work only after the "printer spool service" restarted manually
The printer works fine after the PC is rebooted or just turned on, but as soon as it returns from sleep I cannot print to the USB printer. I have the port set to "do not turn this device off" but none of those power settings for the USB hubs seem to work.
I had to use the Troubleshooter to allow the USB mouse/Keyboard to reinitialize after sleep, but the troubleshooter does not apply the same fix for the USP printer. Is there some way to do this manually?
I know MS is trying to remove options and configurations for the average PC user, but I've been working in IT for years now and there are a bunch of things that I would at least have the option of turning on/off but some features don't exist in Windows 7 (like UP button in My Computer).
Anyone have an idea how to make the printer work from sleep without having to unplug and re-plug the USB cord in? It's a PITA.
I just purchased the Kodak ESP C310 wireless printer. I have a Toshiba laptop Windows 7. and I cannot get the disk to printer to download and cannot get any connectivity to printer.
I installed a rosewill RC-302 parallel port card to support my trusty HPPCS 500. I installed the correct printer driver but all I get is an error when I try a test page.
I downloaded the parallel card driver but not sure it installed. I read that win7 would auto detect it but neither ever displayed even after powering off and on.
I've recently updated from windows xp to windows 7 professional.I cannot get the cd print facility on the printer to work.epson are not able to provide a solution apart from buying a new printer.
I have 2 adobe pdf ports currently set up on my system. One is print to file which I don't know where that came from but every time I try to use it, it prints an "invalid file" after I enter the mile long output file name ending in .pdf.Using the other adobe pdf printer port I click print and it doesn't ask for a file name/location it just shuts down as if it printed to somewhere but I don't know where. How do I get this printer set up correctly. Currently have adobe acrobat 8 pro installed
Wireless printer had been configured to laptop via netgear router and wired to desktop as well. netgear router crapped out and was replaced with previously owned linksys wireless router; laptop no longer communicates with printer.
I have been having trouble with my usb ports not reading my flash drives. I just did a little test and was shocked to find that my usb ports will run printer and not flash drives? I tried to update the drivers but it says they are up to date. What can cause this? It is 5usb ports 2 in back and three across the front. My system is a Dell Studio XPS Desktop 435T/9000 64 bit windows 7.
This is the first time am posting in this forum. Internet is working fine in my machine in wired modem as well as wireless wi-fi modem. But whenever i try to connect an USB modem data card for internet, it gets installed for mass storage alone and nothing gets installed for internet. And yes, the USB port works GOOD for all pen drives. This problem occurs only when i connect an USB data card and the following error message pops up. It doesnot buzz off till i remove the USB from the machinethere is no disk in the drive. please insert a disk into drivedevicehardrive2dr2..
Have a neighbor who has an HP Pavilion dv4 running Win 7. The warranty is only 1 yr. and, of course, the HDD went belly up at <2 years. HP sent him recovery disks for both Win 7 (64-bit) and the recovery driver disk. The Windows recovery disks appear to work fine; took over 1.5 hours to put the system back, but when he puts the driver disk in (and I tried this, too), the head sounds like it's repeatedly searching for something, can't find it, so after 2-3 minutes, just stops. I then told it to "skip" the driver disk and restart.
the storage disk in my server went bad (after 3 months!) and when I got the new one I copied everything over but some of the files aren't working right now.Specifically the video files that we stream over serviio. They look right, they're still the same size, if you go to properties it still shows them as .avi files, but they won't run.Is there someway that I can repair these files? I tried an .avi repair tool but it doesn't see the files as .avi.
At first I thought it was only my printer......uninstalled the drivers,reinstalled.......etc. Then I tried to print as an XPS document and I get the same error messages. Example error message from Excel is "Your file could not be printed due to an error on Microsoft XPS Document writer". If I try the printer I get the exact same message. From Firefox I get "An unknown error occurred while printing." I have searched everywhere for a solution, I even restored as far back as I could but that was only a month ago. I can print from Notepad, both on the printer and XPS Document writer, I can also print a test page and an alignment page
I have a Lexmark X 5410 printer, Windows 7 seems to acknowledge the printer, but the printer does not print, I have tried re-installing the drivers of the cd over and over, and can not get it to print, but it will scan. Do anyone know of any fixes?
i have recently created my own windows 7 copy using this tutorial how to create windows 7 bootable dvd or iso by britec - Internet which worked greati then used the disk to format and re install windows 7 on my laptop, which worked fine.
I had a scare with my computer yesterday and almost had to reinstall but realized that my install disk seems to be missing. I was wondering if I borrowed a windows 7 home premium install disc from my friend would I be able to use my product key (On bottom of laptop) to install correctly using their disc.
