HP Pavilion 533w - USB Printer
Jan 17, 2006
I've got a HP pavilion 533w that I'm trying to fix for a friend of mine. First I ordered the recovery disks from HP and they don't work because of bad or corrupted files. I've tried 2 different hard drives, same thing. I tried loading Windows XP Professional but it fails after loading the drivers and does not respond at "Setup Is Starting Windows". Any ideas so far? I did get Windows 2000 load and everything working except the printer. When I install the HP psc 1210v all-in-one the driver fails and the printer won't print. This is a USB printer by the way.

I installed windows xp on my hardrive from my other computer and then took the hardrive out of it and installed it into the hp pavilion 533w tower.I turned the pc on and when I do,I don't get any moniter display. The only thing that happen is the light on the front of my pc tower blinks irratically,and all 3 of my keyboard lights blink on and off and keep doing so at the same speed as the light on my pc tower. Does anyone know how that I can fix this issue? Or does someone have the original restore disk(s) for this 533w computer?

I bought a new HP printer today. I had a hotfix installed at some point that shutdown and woke up my printer at shutdown and startup. The new printer isn't affected by this hotfix. Does anyone know where I can get this patch?

Two custom PCs with XP Pro at same SP level. PC1 sees printer through switch. PC2 can not see printer. PC2 connects and sees printer when I cable the USB DIRECTLY to the printer instead of going thru a switch. Therefore, I know PC2 can print. Have tried 2 different switches. An A/B data switch and Belkin's 4x1 USB Peripheral Switch F1U401. PC1 works with both switches but PC2 does not.

We've had to change our address space and therefore the printer address has changed. I've changed the address on all but one computer. On this particular computer when I try to edit the TCP/IP port I get the message:
"An error occurred during port configuration. Access is denied."
If I try to create a new port I can select that I want it to be a Standard TCP/IP Port and then it tells me:
"Specified port cannot be added. Access is denied."

I have connected 3 new PC's on a P2P network, and connected a HP 4610 Color Laser Printer via a JetDirect 175 print server. On one PC, I can only print from the Administrator account. The other 2 computers work fine. On the one that is having issues, when printing a test page I receive a "Failed to Print" error mesage, and looking in the printer jobs menu, it shows that there was an error printing. The
Administrator account can print fine from this machine.
The user accounts are "restricted user" accounts on all 3 computers.
All 3 computers are exactly the same type, and all have the latest
updates.

Have a hp Pavilion 4600ze. Nice laptop and running Windows XP. Have always (almost always) had the situation that if choose restart it will log out and go to black screen and not restart (I'm sure it isn't shutting down). Just sits there and only by powering down can one start back up. I recall finding something on the web to make a change so that Windows XP could be sent through restart OK.

I have a Pavilion M50 monitor that i'm using for my computer with windows 2000. The monitor works fine and all, but the microphone that comes attached doesnt.(comes with a cable that plugs into the mic jack)I thought this might be a driver problem, as windows simply recognizes the Monitor as a "Plug and Play Monitor" and when trying to download the driver from the HP support site it essentially said that the Pavilion M50 had no driver for Windows 2000/XP.I don't have another micropohne to plug into the jack, only USB ones which work fine. The Audio output of the jack right beside it works fine so i don't believe it is the sound card driver.

I have been trying to help a friend update or correct her winxp on her HP pavilion 520w I have a copy of my winxp cd from my dell system however I dont have the product key code to use it. So I have tried repeatedly to reset her computer to boot from her cdrom without success. I even posted here last week and someone suggested to tap the delete key when rebooting to change the boot sequence. I wasnt able to get it to work. However I did accidently discover that tapping F10 brings up the Recover system on her computer. Not knowing exactly for sure if I could just correct her winxp with recoverying the whole system I turned off the computer to stop it. I have 3 questions if the Recovery System on this HP model allows you to correct a current copy of your windows without reformatting? how to set this HP model to reboot from the CD-rom?

I was about to do a restore on my computer today. I restarted my computer and hit the F10 key like always, but nothing happens, the computer just restarts. I tried it repeatedly with the same result. I went back to my computer and seen that the restore partition is still there can anyone tell me why I cannot get my restore working? Is there a way around this I mean is there another way to activate my restore?

I have an almost new HP Pavilion zd8120cl, and run windows XP. I have all of my Virus protection (Norton System Works Premier 2005) updated ( I do it daily along with any MS updates).Yesterday I opened an email from a friend that was sending me some documents, right after this is when all the trouble began. The documents did not open but a quick screen note that said something like "downloading giant anti spyware program" I turned of my modem right away. I don't know if this is all related or just happened at the same time

I am new to this forum so please help me out. I am 64 years old and selftaught so I know little about PC. My son gave me the PC 2 years ago. I use it for email and search and browse things on PC. Lately it has a lot of popups, adds and loud rap music (even I din't run any program). Nothing on the screen except the sound on the speakers. I had tried everything, but no success for eliminate them. I tried to reformat my PC, but when I got to that point, it won't allow me to do so, because it said that ONLY one copy can be done and I don't know if my son already copied it or not. I couldn't find the system recovery disk. I know that it has a partition for recovery but I couldn't open it. So finally I called the HP customer services to buy a replacement for the system recovery disk. These guys want to do it then, but I wasn't ready yet, my data still not backup yet. I refused to do so and request only the disk. Finally the disk came and I finished backup my files, but I didn't know that I had to back up my drivers. so now I can't find the driver and stuck with the blue screen with a bunch of things that I had to check and a lot of numbers.A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

When I tried to upgrade xp home to xp pro, a strange error msg keeps coming up during installation. - "There is an internal error. please ask system administrator" HP techie suggested me disabling SATA in BIOS, but there is no such an option under system configuration.I don't see "Disabling SATA" option in BIOS. There are only two options, Boot sequence and Sound(?).Is HP dv6040ca upgradeable to XP pro? I've tried removing xp home and reinstalling xp pro from retail CD. As well I tried the latest BIOS and updated AMD driver.

I'm a tech at a college and am working on this computer that the printer spooler service won't stay started.You start up the machine and go to printers and faxes. There are none listed (of course cause the spooler isn't running) You click on add printer and it tells you that the service isn't running. So you go to run services.msc, printer spooler says it's stopped so you start it. It will then run until you try to print something or go to printers and faxes in the control panel. Basically as soon as you open the window the printer spooler service stops.Does anyone know a fix for this. Last time it happened one of my co-workers found a tool to fix it but we haven't been able to find it since and all the researching I have done leads me nowhere

I am having is with my HP Pavilion ZE5730us Notebook. I had to reinstall Windows XP Home on it, and I am now plagued with a NON-functioning wireless toggle on the front, and the blue light stays lit all the time. The wireless function seems to work fine. I have installed all drivers, and have also installed the HP One Touch application as directed by a HP Tech to no avail. The mute button works fine, and all other aspects of the laptop work fine other than the Wireless Toggle Switch and the Blue Wireless Status light. All worked fine before I reinstalled XP Home with a retail install disk.

My pavilion ze4500, xp O.S., is having problems starting up. I believe that the fan had some troubles in the past, as I am almost positive the notebook has shut off after leaving it on all day while I was out. Currently (and for at least 3 months since the previously described shut down) the fan appears to be working ok, since I sucked some of the dust out- but the problem I am having now occurs at start up. I do receive on error message after xp fully loads. It reads; RUNDLL error loading c:programfileswildtangentappscdacdaengine0400.dll However- I dont necessarily believe that this is related, but I thought Id better be thorough.

I have a 2 Year old HP dv600 Laptop that causes endless griefThe computer boots up with the HP quick Play display on screen with a choice of three selections DVD.Music and Windows OS When Windows OS is selected the Computer goes in to search which takes up to 1-2 Min.and then goes in to sleep mode The only way to get it to boot up at all is to boot in to safe mode and then restart I have uninstalled HP quick launch with no results it seems Quick Play is a Keyboard service and there doesn't seem any way to circumvent the Key.
