I use Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. My problem is: Whenever I try to print something (word, pdf, or any other file); printer spooler stops working and when I check the Devices and Printers all the printer drivers seem to be disappeared. I checked the Print Spooler" in the Services tool; and set the "Recovery after subsequent failures" option to Restart the Serviceā. Therefore all the printer drives coma back after 1 minute. However the spooler stops immediately again when the uncompleted printing job starts; hence I can not print anything more than a page. Earlier in this forum, someone posted that Microsoft issued a hotfix for this problem ( hotfix 2388142) which can be downloaded from article: [URL]. I downloaded this hotfix and tried to install, however it gives an error message of: The update is not applicable to your computer and quits installation. I did uninstall and reinstall all the printer drives, but this did not help either.

after trying everything to get my old computer to work I eventually gave up and dusted off my wallet and bought a new one, I bought a new Lenova i3, with win7 64bt, my old computer was win7 32bt, all my important files were on the old hdd so I removed that and put it into an external case, but when I plugged it into the new comp it says drive not formatted do you want to format, which I obviously dont, I then tried my other external hdds and they are all the same, I know there are recovery programs that will recover the data, but I am reluctant to use these as there are a lot of home movies of my family on these drives and everytime I have used a recovery program before, the recovered video files will no longer play is there a way around this

I've been using this USB since February, and it's only today I've come across this problem. I tried it on the computers in the local library, my laptop and another home desktop with no luck at all.I have a lot of work on there. There is no brand for the USB as I was given it by a medicine company (my father is a doctor so he receives free items from these companies from time to time).

I am currently running Windows XP 32-bit with 3GB of RAM installed 2x 1GB + 2x 512MB.
I am thinking of buying another 2x 1GB sticks of RAM to bring my total RAM up to 4GB. As Windows XP only recognizes 3-3.5GB of RAM will Windows 7 32-bit recognize and utilize the full 4GB? So basically is it worth getting an extra 1GB of RAM for Windows 7?

I recently purchased a usb 3.0 enclosure from silverstone model ts07b and a new 2 tb drive from seagate model ST2000DM001; the usb 3.0 card is from syba model SD-PEX20093. The problem I am having is that when I plug the enclosure into the usb 3.0 slot with the seagate hdd the computer does not recognize it, but when I plug in another 2tb drive from WD (caviar green wd20ears) the computer recognizes it. I know the seagate is not dead because when I plug the enclosure into a usb 2.0 slot the computer recognizes it. Now I need to know what I should replace, should I get a new enclosure or pci card?

I am using a SAMSUNG NP-S3510-A03 laptop. The problems I have had with this laptop are unreal, I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy itAnyway, my current problem is that the laptop will not read my external HD that it was previsouly reading fine before.I recently got a whole bunch of important files on the external HD to transfer to the laptop. While it was transferring the files, the transfer window crashed. I ended the task and went to try again but the external HD would no longer show up in My Computer. I tried restarting, no joy. I then tried plugging the external HD into all 3 USB ports, still no joy.It won't even show up in Disk Management.
When I plug the external HD in, the light comes on so seems to be working fine. But I get no noise in Windows to say the device has been connected, no autorun, nothing.I really need the files that are on it ASAP and cannot get the files from the original source anymore. I have not tried it on anyone elses PC/laptop yet and won't be able to for some time.

I'm running a Dell inspiron 580, and a Dell ST 2310 analog monitor with 1920 x1080 resolution (recommended). The TV is a LG 37LD450. I had no trouble with it as I watched movies from the PC to TV for over 2 months. When connecting to an external display both the PC and TV would prompt me to choose either one. But now all that it shows is the PC monitor and no TV.

I have been running Windows 7 on my pc for 3 months with great satisfaction (I upgraded/clean installed from Vista). However, tonight my pc wouldn't recognise any USB hardware (some of which I can only assume are internal, as my keyboard and mouse are PS2). Having looked online for possible fixes, it seems that running an upgrade from my installation disk would resolve the matter.My pc is stuck on the 'Starting Windows' page and won't proceed any further. I have rebooted - but although the bios page and boot setup page can have the cursor moved by the arrow keys, hitting the 'enter' key then freezes those pages. I have tried to select 'Windows 7' as the operating system rather than 'Starting Windows' but this also freezes the pc.I now have what seems to be a rather large paper weight with a fan inside it on my desk...can anyone offer a solution around this issue?

I have two large USB (1Tb and 2 Tb) external drives running on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bts. But when I get my old 40 Gb ext hdd or my mate's similar unit but 60 Gb (both are generic) I can't see them. Yet if I plug them on my XP laptop, or Window 7 starter notebook they install automatically with no problem! I can see my own device in Management but it requires to initial...and it won't, as for my mate's nothing at all happens when I plug it on the usb port, but the unit's green light is on!.

I don't have much knowledge in these things so I have to rely on what people tell me so I hope I am not wasting your time.I have a Sony VPCZ21 with an embedded fingerprint reader. I want to use my preferred encryption software DigitalPersona 4.1 (sadly they don't update this anymore) and under devices is listed Touchstrip Fingerprint Sensor (WBF Advanced Mode).I am told the problem is that I am not using W7Home and that W7Professional doesn't recognise the software and so I should change my operating system to W7Home. Before undertaking such a task I would be grateful if you would confirm that I am not being told nonsense and that this would be a sensible thing to do.I have already removed the original encryption software and have the latest driver uploaded.The DigitalPersonal software works perfectly with an external fingerprint reader but not with the embedded one.

I have recently been bereft of the ability to write to standard CD/DVD drive or BluRay drive with any type of blank disc. I always use windows drag-and-drop. All automatic updates are installed.Every system tool test or troubleshooter says that the two devices are working properly.They can play pre-recorded material but I simply cannot get them to recognise blank media.

I have an HP OfficeJet 5610. Both printer and scanner work perfectly on my main computer with 64-bit Windows 7, but when I try to print something from my dad's laptop (XP 32-bit) it gives me "unknown error"-type messages. I found out that I need to install the 32-bit drivers on Windows 7, but where do I find them? I never installed anything in the first place; the normal 64-bit drivers came with the OS. My Windows CD has both versions, so it must have the 32-bit drivers for my printer... but where?

I have 64 bit Win 7 and originally installed HP 1230 drivers but my windows ended up installing three drivers for the same printer. I now have a new printer and no matter how many times I try I cannot delete the the original printer drivers, every time I start the computer again it re installs the HP 1230 drivers even though that printer is long gone and no longer attached to the computer. Any ideas on how I can get rid of them ?

I am trying to install a HP D2600 printer. The software nver finishes. It's installing a bunch of unwanted software anyway.So I uninstalled that which it did install and went to the add printer selection in Devices and Printers. Found the printer and installed it. Test pages or anything else get as far as the spooler but never to the printer. Device manager tells me no drivers installed. Try to update the drivers and get the message that they are up to date. Printer is Not offline.

I have a Windows 7 64 bit computer, almost brand new. I also have a Dell AIO 926 photo printer that i wish to connect to it. When i connect it, the computer recognizes it as normal, but says i need to download the drivers. I click troubleshoot, follow its instructions, download the correct driver(made sure when i looked manually on the dell website), for 64 bit windows 7. Only thing is, i still cant get the printer to work! it still says "troubleshoot" and wont let me print anything. and every time i "troubleshoot" it says i need drivers for it, which it did before, and just takes me in a continuous loop, getting nowhere. I then downloaded it from dell website manually( i made sure it was for 64 bit, not 32) and still no luck. i can stare at the drivers all day but i cant get my computer to use them on my printer. it just detects theyre not there. the drivers are installed to the main hard drive C:, under dell/drivers/R150575. is it installed in the wrong place? i couldnt find a different place to install it in the drop downs, and it seemed like a good place to install it. i have also restarted the computer to make sure, and disconnected & reconnected the USB; still no luck for both, still that dreaded exclamation mark next to the printer under "hardware and devices".
