Administration Can Print / Connected Via A USB Cable
Sep 1, 2006
My 10 month old HP laptop with WinXP Home Edition and SP2 is connected via a USB cable to an Epson CX3200 printer/scanner. This is the only printer connected to this computer, and the only computer connected to this printer. I have 3 spyware and 1 anti-virus program installed on the computer which are updated regularly and a scan recently showed no viruses and minor (usual for this computer) cookie spyware items that were either removed or "quarantined".Until recently (about 1 week ago) printer worked perfectly. Now, the printer still works perfectly for me (I have the administrator account), but will not print anything for my wife who has a limited account. Does not print for the guest account we have either.

I have G speedbooster router and setup MAC address and WPA with password. My laptop can access fine. I have emachines t2882 with xp and USB wireless g speedbooster adapter. I can access internet when plugging in computer lan to lan on router. When using wireless usb, I key in code and says I am connected and green lights show, but when pulling up explorer, it says no connected? Device manager shows device is working properly.I tried setting up automatically assign IP's on the computer and got same result, and put in specific IP I have assigned from the router to this computer with same results as well.Again, looks like I am connected, but explorer does not seem to recognize I am connected.

I'm wondering if you guys have any experience with programs that allow remote control of another computer on the same network at you.
You see, I'm planning on having a dedicated NT 4.0 box sitting in a corner without a monitor or keyboard attached to it. But I still want to be able to control that computer without hooking up all those things.
I've heard of a program called VNC that allows remote control, but I've never used it or heard anything about it.
So please, can you guys suggest some (free, if possible) programs that allow this and that you would recommend?

I uses a laptop as a workstation. i uses it to get online from here at the school and at home. Recently, i can surf fine from work but when gets home when i plugs into network and gets all the signs of connectivity but when using the internet explorer, i only gets the "Work Offline" option and is unable to use the internet. I have a wireless connection set up as well as the regular ethernet connection. I usually only uses the ethernet port and rarely uses the wireless connection but both are running simultaneously.

I write a file in Word and then save it.Before I print it I usually go into Print Preview just to check things out.This time however it just showed me a blank box and the printer would not print.Everything was OK for a complete day and then the problem happened again - blank preview and no printing. This time switching off for 10 minutes and then back on had no effect.I have been trying most of today to correct things without success. I then copied it onto a floppy, put the floppy in my friends PC - same result as before

I previously owned a Lexmark Z25 printer and up to a certain point, it was printing ok. Then it abruptly stopped printing any pages. It sounded as if it was getting the signal from the computer, but nothing would print. Rather than buy new cartridges, which would have cost more than a new printer, I bought a Dell 720. Now, the color prints fine, but I cannot get the black to print. The cartridges are just about full with only a small amount out of the black cartridge.

All worked as normal Printer icon would print automatically with default print settings; File -Print would bring up print properties dialogue box to select options.Unhooked printer from laptop. Since reconnecting printer, the print icon button reverts to bringing up the print properties box as happens with going File - print. There is only one printer attached - it is shown in "Printers and Faxes" with a tick. There is nowhere to check it as the default printer as it is the only printer.How can I make the print icon button just do straight default prints again?

I have an old Sony VAIO (running Win Xp) that I am using a print server. The VAIO is connected to a HP PSC. The VAIO is on a wireless network along with two other laptops. One laptop is running Win Xp and the other is running Vista. Everything was working fine as far as printing went until I reinstalled the OS on the Win Xp machine (same OS). Previously the VAIO would go offline due to hibernation and so if I tried to print something from the Xp machine, it would get in the queue and get printed when I turned the VAIO on. Now the print jobs are not getting in a queue when the VAIO is offline.I don't know what I did right before and so I don't know how to remedy the problem.

I am using Windows XP Home on my laptop and XP Pro on my desktop, both connected by a lan. When I connect to my ISP, and the 'Connected' Icon appears, (using either PC's modem) The connected PC hangs or freezes for up to 13 minutes. I can move the mouse pointer around, but no clicks of either mouse or keyboard appear to have any effect, not even CTRL+ALT+DELETE.After some time the programs I have been clicking on do appear and the problem seems to have gone, until next time I restart the PC and connect via modem.This is only when using modem connections. I have no problem with broadband, and it makes no difference whether or not I am connected to LAN. I am using Norton Antivirus, my definitions are up to date. I have also connected to 2 Internet sites who scanned my machines for viruses but did not find any. Any ideas? Obviously the problem does not seem serious but it is very annoying to have to wait 10 or more minutes every time I connect, before I can go anywhere, wouldn't be so bad if I could play a game while waiting, but as I say, nothing works during this time.I had posted a similar thread on the Internet and e-mail section, but at that time I thought it was just the Browser and client would not start. I have since noticed that it is everything.

My friend has a VPR Matrix Desktop (2.6 Ghz, 512 megs Ram) with Home Edition that would not power up. I replaced the power supply and it powered up fine. It booted up and worked fine until I started trying to remove spyware. My friend said it would just reboot for no reason. It'd die, reboot, die, reboot constantly. I think this may have burned up the power supply - it probably did this while he wasn't around (maybe during the night).... anyways that doesn't matter.
I was able to get into safe mode and thought I had the issue diagnosed. I wasn't able to work on it for a week or so and when I booted it back up, it worked fine. I backed up all of his important files and then started working on cleaning it up some (it's slow, I don't know if it's the lack of ram or spyware). When I reconnected it to my dsl, it worked fine for a minute, it was a little slow connecting to the net but then I recieved a "Error, run dll as an app" message. It continued to run for a few minutes afterwards then it started crash/rebooting like it had earlier................

I run two hard drives. C: and f:. F: is my primary and C: is the slave. If
I boot from C: I can run msconfig. If I boot from F:, I cannot run msconfig
without first removing the cable from the c: HD and rebooting. If I run
sysedit while in the f: drive, it shows autoexec.bat and config.sys from the
c: drive and win.ini from the f: drive. How can I change the autoexec.bat to
run from the f: drive on boot up

XP Pro, SP2, Pen4, Cable connection. Windows firewall, Norton antivirus.Over the past few weeks I've noticed that it's become almost impossible to get connected to this CNET forum. The same is true of the the sub text articles that offer more in depth information. For example, I received the article on the new Adobe Reader but couldn't open up the "read more" link. At first, I thought it was my ISP but then I realized that I had no problem connecting to any other links on the Net, just the CNET links. Then I started asking around and other people said they were experiencing the same thing with CNET links. Is this a problem CNET is already aware of. Most of the time my computer Times Out trying to open the CNET links. For some of us at least, this has developed into a real problem.

I have had an issue just crop up on my dell dimension 4550 running xp pro, 2.53 p4 with 1 gig of ram. Seems that everything is fine until I connect to a web page. I can start IE, and everything is fine, utilization is 0-20%, but once I type in a url and hit go, cpu goes to 100%, eventually the web page loads after a few minutes or more(on dial up, 56k) where this only took seconds in the past. Have current virus defintions, running ms antispyware also current. If I finally disconnect from the internet, and close IE, cpu utilization goes back down. I gave up and restored from a ghost image from a month ago back when i know it was working, and it still is doing the same thing and it has me stumped. I was thinking maybe its having hard drive issues, but it works fine unless I connect to the internet. Also, I can simply bring up IE and it works fine, no pegged CPU, but as soon as I connect to my isp and try to load a web page, cpu goes to 100% and does not recover. Looking at task mngr, ieexplorer and explorer.exe are really the only things that are taking all the cpu time.
