"Windows Cannot Connect To The Printer, Operation Failed With Error 0x00000057"
Nov 5, 2009
I am on a dell XPS laptop and trying to print to the network printer in my office. I can install everyother printer on the network but the main one. Add Printer finds the one I want and tries to install it but then give be a "Windows cannot connect to the printer, Operation failed with error 0x00000057" I have downloaded and installed the driver from the Toshiba website for an e-Studio 450 and copied that driver folder into the "FileRepository" folder but that didn't seem to work either.
I have a Dell laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate. While trying to add a network printer (HP LaserJet 4250n) I got the following error message: Windows cannot connect to the printer. Operation failed with error 0x0000007e.
The printer works fine from my Windows 7 Pro desktop, and also from other laptops with Windows 7 Ultimate.
I've tried installing Microsoft's hotfix (982728), installing locally on LPT2 and running 'net use LPT2 \Computernamesharedprintername /persistent:yes', updating the driver. None of these worked.
I have two computers I want to connect to a network printer. The printer is a Konica Minolta. When I try to connect it to these computers I get:windows cannot connect to the printer operation failed with error 0x00000002 Both computers are windows 7 and previously were connected to the printer. I had to reinstall the OS on both machines thus the reason Im reconnecting the printer to them. The computers are attached to our domain. Other computers in the office are able to connect to and use this printer.
at work we use a public calendar in Outlook 2010 that is used to book the conference room. Today multiple users (XP and Win 7) are getting this error when they try to book the conference room. The operation failed. The messaging interfaces have returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook.Restarting Outlook has not helped. So far this is only happening in the public calendar.
I have tried the following on 2 new HP printers installing from CD, dwnld file, or UPnP (USB) with the same results. Win7 says the ptr dvrs were installed OK and the "device is ready for use." The icon is visible on the ctrl pnl and all options show on a r-click. But when I try to print a test page I get msg that the drivers are not installed with an error 0x00000057. Or should I just resort to a small amount of C-4? Win7 Ultimate 32-bit OS
I am having window xp running on that hdd but when I am trying to load windows 7 then setup recognize that my hdd having bad sectors and after running set it shows the fail operation of loading windows 7.
I have been trying to install a new 6150 printer from Kodak. I keep getting an error that says "error 0x00000057" and also "The Arguments are Invalid". I am running Windows 7 sp1 Ultimate with Office 2010. The printer is an All in One and it sure would be nice to get it working. I have tried to install it as a network printer but gave up. Now I am trying to install it as a USB but having the same problem. I called Kodak but after about 1/2 hour of them working remotely on my computer, they decided that it is a problem with the computer.
Since 2 days I have a new Epson stylus SX235W printer,and there is my problem also. I doesn't matter what I do but I cant get the printer driver to install and print anything.I have tried the following things:
1) The usual way and follow the steps in the manual 2) Using newer drivers from the Epson site 3) Trying to install with another account 4) Clean out everything on the pc that has something to do with epson printer drivers and software,and then try reinstalling. 5) Trying to install with Norton turned of(and other security software) 6) Try to install as admin
I have 2 computers on my home network. My desktop is running Windows 7 ultimate 32 bit and I have a kodak 5500 Aio connected to it. I also have a laptop that's running windows 7 home premium 64 bit that connects wireless. I was able to print until today and now I can't print from the laptop. I can see the printer in the add printer window but comes up with cannot connect with error of 0x0000000d
I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium 64bit. There is only one user on this machine which is Administrator and this computer is not connected with any networks. I am trying to move all of User's folders to D: drive. I have successfully moved, My Pictures, My Documents, My Videos, Contacts and other folders but when I try to move "Desktop" folder, it gives me an error message at the end of the operation (after coping all the data to the new location) that "Folder Redirection Failed", "Operation was cancelled by the user". I have tried to change the location several times for this Desktop folder but every time I do it, I get this error message.
Now situation is... Data from my Desktop is present in its default location but also copied to D:UsersMyNameDesktop folder. Means, exactly the same data is placed on two different locations but default Desktop location is still at C: drive. Why I am unable to change my Desktop location? I am trying to change the location by right clicking on Desktop folder in User's folder, then Properties and then Location tab. It's exactly the same way by which I moved all of my other User's folders successfully.
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate x64, and have been for years. I have had no problems previously that I was unable to fix.
This morning when starting up my pc I got the error message "Failed to connect to a windows service" In addition it has defaulted to windows classic theme and I can not re enable Aero.
I looked at the Event log but it is simply beyond my level of understanding how to address the errors. Also all errors shown seem to be relativity longstanding/ recurring.
I went to the HP site to download the latest driver for my printer model, but on this page it says:HP PSC 1200 All-in-One Printer series - HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows 7 - HP Business Support Center "The drivers for your HP product are already included in the new Windows 7 operating system! You do not need to download drivers to use the product.Simply connect the printer to your computer with a USB cable, and Windows Update automatically installs the driver for your product."
I recently bought a maxtor 500 gb external hdd and i just cant get it to work with windows 7, i got a computer at home where i want to keep it that has windows 7 rc , I have tryed everything i can think of to make it work but nothing does, I cant see it in my computer or with the explorer, but I can see it with computer management, It doesn´t have a drive letter or NTFS and I just cant do anything to it, I cant format it then I get the error "An unexpected error has occured. check the system event log for more information on the error. Close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer".Nothing works, I cant put a drive letter to it then i get the error "The operation failed to complete because the Disk Management console view is not up-to-date. Refresh the view by using the refresh task. If the problem persists close the Disk Management console then restart Disk Management or restart the computer."Now im getting pretty annoyed with trying different things on it but can´t seem to make it work, now on the other hand it does work on my laptop computer wich has Windows vista, and it works fine, also works on another computer I have that has Windows XP, can anyone please help me with this problem I would prefer to not have to format it since I did put alot of data on it from my other computers but if I have to then so be it .
I am unable to connect my computer with a Network printer in my organization. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium-64bit on my laptop. The problem here is, when I try to add a new printer as:Devices and Printers> Add a Printer> Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.The wizard searches for a few seconds than my LAN automatically gets disconnected.The other way round I've also tried to manually add the printer but it didn't work. It gives the error "Cannot Connect to Printer. Error 0x0000007e" The printer in Network is RICOH Aficio 8001 PCL6.I've tried to contact my IST department but they are saying that we are also unable to connect it with 64-bit operating system.
I installed Service Pack 1 for Windows 7. After it rebooted, on the Windows 7 loading screen it shows "Applying update operation XXXX of XXXX". After a certain number it says "Error applying operation XXXX of XXXX", and then the system proceeds to hang on that screen, meaning that I am unable to access Windows. I try mashing F8 for my life when resetting the computer, but I never get a list of boot options, so I cannot get into Safe Mode or even try the computer's Last Known Good Configuration. The edition of this version of Windows 7 is 64 bit Ultimate. The laptop I am using is also 64 bit Ultimate.
Another thing I want to point out is that both of these computers have been taking an incredibly long time (near 12 hours at this point) trying to download and install Service Pack 1. There is no spyware or anything running in the background. I am fearing that I might get the same error on this machine but I have taken the liberty of creating a System Restore point in the event it happens. I have two other Windows 7 machines in the house (32 bit Professional and 64 bit Home Premium), and both of them installed Service Pack 1 without any kind of problem, and both of those computers installed them rather quickly.
I booted my computer this morning and I could tell that something wasn't completely right. It took an incredibly long time to get to the user account selection, didn't play the startup sounds, and when I finally log in, the Windows Aero theme had been set to the classic one similar to Windows 2000. I tried to restart the computer and it couldn't do it because it was waiting for the log off sound, which wasn't playing. I clicked force restart and the computer just sat at the desktop. After a hard reboot, I started Windows normally and in the lower right corner I got a message saying that Windows failed to connect to a Windows Service.
Turn on computer and it loads pretty normal. A few times it took a long time.In the incon tray notification pops up and says:Faild to connect to a windows serivce. Group Policy CLient service....prevents users from logging on ... as an admin look in event log.This is my home/personal computer and there are NO other users?!?Not sure what the hec this error is.It goes away after a minute and the computer runs fine.I have Avast internet security, malewarebytes running. Did scans with same with negative results.Also ran TDSSKILLER, Superantispyware, and spybot also with negative results (other than cookies)Googled and goggled some more...tried to change/add a registry setting to delay the Group Policy Timeout as seen in this workaround: [URL]but the issue is still here...

his past week, my little one dropped my laptop on the floor which gave me error 0xc00000e9. I reinstalled Win 7 and everything seemed to be back to normal. Once I logged on, the computer operated so slow that it lagged when typing. I went to control panel and found out that none of the Microsoft, Intel programs were listed. I then realized updates weren't turned on, so I tried turning it on, but it gave me an error. This was the same error I got with many of the services not willing to turn on. I then went to services and tried turning it on from there, but I got error performing inpage operation. After that, I tried CHKDSK L: /R, but after waiting 5 days, it wouldn't move in stage 4 of 5.
Failure to connect to VPN per the error below from the log... "Set socket to non-blocking mode failed: An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.(errno=10038)"Support at VPN vendor suggests that a Windows repair is needed but have no disk as bought the HDD from a repair facility that lost their lease and cannot be located. Should add that I have had a couple of blue screens lately and have run chkdsk /f and tried to do a system restore but all restore points are gone, even though I had several previously.
After turning on my computer today it fails to connect to the internet or windows service. My computer doesn't acknowledge my internet network and now at the bottom right of my desktop says Windows 7 is not genuine when it is. I did a system restore several days back and the problem still persists. I just failed to use Malwarebytes even in Safe Mode + Networking because it is now corrupt, missing files, or mabservices is down. I did a virus scan with indexes last updated feb 28th and found nothing.
I have some links saved in Microsoft word 2007 and now when I try to open them up using the control button and clicking on the link, I get an error saying: This operation has been canceled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator. It was working just a few days ago, and I haven't changed any settings and don't know what to do. I have Windows 7 64bit.
I run plain-vanilla Windows-7 on a new Dell desktop, at home. I use Outlook for mail and it worked normally for a month. But recently when I click on a link in an email, program displays, "This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions in effect on this computer. Please contact your system administrator." This seems to be a genuine Windows msg, not a virus.
I have been messing around with Ubuntu and other OS's and after I installed Ubuntu on a 5gb partition, I realized that is way too small, so I went into Windows, opened up Disk Management (diskmgmt.msc) and just deleted the volume. Well now I have a green partition and when I try to delete the partition, I get the error "There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation" I am doing this all on my internal hard dive in my laptop.

Yesterday I clicked yes to update the windows software for my other laptop. Then after it was done it asked for a restart. I did a normal shut down yesterday and went to start it this afternoon and this Fatal Error appeared " Fatal error c0000034 applying update operation 197 of 97690 (_00000...)
