A client of mine uses an old dos based database program that can't print to any printer that uses a USB connection, but it works fine with parallel. I've just upgraded them to Windows 7, and some of their printers (which I didn't know at the time, I wish I did), don't have compatible Windows 7 drivers. Does anybody here know of a new model printer that still can use a parallel port and works with windows 7? I know HP Laserjet 1300 works, because they have several of those, but I'm hoping I can find actual new machines (it's a longshot, I know).
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently had a power supply failure on a Netgear 16 port switch (GS116) and managed to get a refurbed switch and power supply.
My system set-up includes a number of terastations ranging from 1TB to 4 TB, all connected to the 16 port switch. My question relates to my oldest terastation, which cannot be accessed if connected to the new switch but can if use my old one.
I thought a switch was pretty simple, it appears to not have any firmware to update. Is this a hardware issue?
Whenever I switch user accounts the computer will start the switch and then lock up with a display message that says no signal on the monitor. It happens if the computer has been running for hours or only a couple of minutes. I have to shut the PC off and leave it off for 20-30 minutes. I can then restart and enter any user account. But if I try to switch user or logoff and pick a different user the whole cycle begins anew.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a computer that I bought refurbished and they loaded the 32 bit version of Windows Home Premium. I need to run the current version of Photoshop and it only runs on 64 bit.Need to do a clean install and I have no problem with that since their are very few programs on the computer.My problem is I have a disk from the Reseller that says "Windows 7 Home Premium". Will that also carry the 64 bit version of the software?Also the disk says "Licensed for use with the "Registered Refurbisher". I did license the software when I got the computer.I ran the Windows 7 upgrade utility and it told me the 64 bit is OK to load.
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust a home user. Mostly gaming. Home oriented stuff includes Office XP (2002), and Quicken. The other main software I use is Adobe Premier Pro CS3 video software (includes Encore, the DVD writing program), and Visual Studio 2005.
My system, isn't the latest, but newer stuff isn't a lot faster yet:
Intel core 2 extreme X6800 (2.93ghz)
Intel D975XBX motherboard, 2GB 667 mhz 4-4-4-10 ddr2ram.
ATI HD4870 (PCI Express) video card, 512 MB ram
Sound Blaster X-Fi Plantinum
4 Segate 7200.12 500GB sata drives, paired into two striped virtual drives via BIOS.
1 Seagate ??? 250gb IDE drive, used only for boot up.
All drives have multiple partitions.
Windows XP SP3 is installed on a partition on one of the striped sata drives.
Windows XP X64 is installed on a partition on the ide drive.
The second pair of drives are used for swap files, temp files, and backup.
There's also a USB drive I use for backup.
Each instance of OS is used to backup the "other" OS partition, and also I use X64 for for some 64 bit programming with Visual Studio 2005.
Other than one version of Halo, I haven't seen any games that don't run on Windows XP. I read that most games play faster with Windows XP than with Windows Vista, and Tom's recent article seems to state that Windows 7 isn't faster with gaming than Windows Vista.
So bottom line, is there any point in switching to Windows 7 (or replacing my XP X64 with Windows 7)?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI currently have a 64 bit laptop, but purchased a 32 bit desktop. I need to transfer documents from my laptop to my pc, but it tells me it cannot do a transfer. I also tried saving them on a flash drive and just copying them over to the new computer, but it just looks like giberrish-like symbols. How do I just transfer my documents without having to manually retype them in the new computer?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a laptop (Asus K55D) with two OS, Windows 8 and 7, operating through a KVM switch (trendnet tk-409). It is also connected to a Linux machine.

But when booted into Windows 7, while the display works, the keyobard and mouse do not.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor about a couple of weeks now I cannot seem to be able to switch to either my Guest user account or any other account for that matter (I had added my roommate as another user for the past year and things were running smoothly). I subsequently deleted his account after this problem started but STILL cannot switch into the GUEST account.
The switch user page loads, but immediately after clicking on the GUEST icon, the screen attempts to switch by changing BUT a few seconds into the mode reads "logging off" and then immediately reverts back to the icon screen with no progress.
I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. This is kinda frustrating, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I have an old Emachine that I have hooked up to my HD TV. I would like to upgrade the ram but the techs at EM say that I am at my limit of 2gigs RAM. The CPU is a 64bit 1.8, according to SIW (see photo) and it also states that RAM can be increased to 8 gigs.(see photo) I am running WXP 32bit. If I upgrade to 7 64bit can I upgrade the ram also? I also have a 1gig Gforce 9400 GT.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI had left my laptop idle for an hour or so after around 3 hours after I booted it up, and luckily I was there to see it: it simply switched off, and any attempt to get into windows through GRUB fails. Ubuntu loads up just fine, but attempting to boot windows results in a plain black screen that goes nowhere. I can't boot into safe mode. My laptop's built in DVD drive doesn't work, so I tried it using the installation disc to repair win7, but after I select my windows operating system from the menu, it simply shows a blank image of the background of the default windows 7 login screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on my system. Everything runs great except one thing. I'm not able to switch users like I used to on my Vista system. The 'switch user' is greyed out. I have 3 user accounts on my system. On my earlier Vista system, if i were to put the system in standby mode and then re-open it again, it would show me a password field (since that account was password protected) and a 'Switch User' button below the password field. However no such thing shows in Win 7. Both the vista and win 7 were home premium editions.
