I have Windows XP SP2 on my laptop. I have been using an Epson C66 printer with this laptop for about 2 years. I recently had a problem with the printer so I went through the troubleshooter process and was instructed to contact Epson. I did, and when I sent the error script that I receive, they told me to contact Microsoft. I have been searching the articles for patches, fixes, etc but am not having any luck. When I try to reinstall the printer (with the printer cd or manually), the installation appears to be going through and copying files and then I get a message that the installation can not finish. The error script says: "The I/O operation has been aborted due to a thread exit or an application request."
I'm trying to get my Canon IP8500 printer to work with my Samsung NC20 netbook which is running Windows XP.Usually I simply plug the printer into any Windows XP computer and it'll automatically install the necessary drivers. However, when I plug it into my netbook and instruct Windows XP to automatically search/find and install the drivers, it can't find any.So I've gone onto the Canon website and manually downloaded the drivers, but when I try to install them via the setup.exe it says that a newer driver is already installed, and aborts the setup.The weird thing is that there definitely isn't a driver already installed, because I've even gone into device manager and uninstalled the printer/driver before trying again.
I have a printer installed but when i try to print it keeps saying if i want to install the printer. And when i click yes it says: Operation could not be completed And when i try to delete my printer it says: Printer cannot be removed. The Print Spooler service is not running. And then i click RUN i type in services.msc and enter. Down the services list i go to Print Spooler and double click it. It says "Service status: Stopped". Well then i click start and after bout 10 seconds it goes back to stopped again
Brief synopsis:I recently did a new Windows XP install (after a crash). Now I cannot get my printer to install. The printer is a SHARED printer (HP Deskjet F380) on another machine on the network. The printer was previous installed on this machine before the crash and reinstall of WinXP.After nearly 2 hours on the phone w/ HP support, it's been determined (by HP support) that somewhere in the XP install, a missing XP driver is keeping this install from properly allowing any printers to be installed. The printer will 'appear' to be installed, but any attempt to print brings an error saying printer drivers aren't properly installed.
I have two PCs with XP-Home on one and and W2K-SP4 on the other.I have acquired an old large-scale flat bed plotter that is driven by a specifically written Printer driver for Windows 3.1.Currently I am running this from an old 486-laptop running win3.1 but it is so slow (computer, not the plotter) and no network for file transfer. I tried win3.11 but the printer driver will not run correctly with win3.11 so it is back to win3.1.Is there anyway I can make XP or W2K use the w3.1 printer driver? I tried to install the driver in XP and W2K from the plotter disk but I get "there is no printer information in that location."
I downloaded a printer driver from the HP site for windows XP. When I double click on the executable I get this erro 16 bit Windows SubsysteC:WindowsSystem32autoexec.nt. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application.Since this is the driver HP designates for Aan XP system, I'm assuming something is wrong with my system. I think I may have gotten this in other situations - but it may only have been when I tried to install the same driver earlier.
I am having a problem with my printer after installing network magic. Everytime I send a document from the main pc to the printer connected directly to it, I get a stop screen and a reboot. When it comes back I do the Microsoft error report and it says there is a problem with a driver.
i got a printer from a family member a couple of days ago, and he couldnt find the software, soo i went on HP and downloaded the driver. when i try to printer something the printer pulls the paper in a little ways the it pushes it back and does that about 2-3 times? have no idea what is causing this.
I have a Gateway 7422GX which as a Mobility Radeon 9550. I repaired windows using the cd because I restarted my computer and it was either going to take 7min+ to boot, or just wasn't going to. I got stuck at the windows splash screen. I'm using windows professional. Whenever I try to install any of the drivers, I get the same error message: Setup did not find a driver compatible with your current hardware or operating system. Setup will now exit.
I'm trying to install my printer, usb, lexmark x75 all in one. When I try to install it I get a weird rpc server is unavailable error and it won't install it.
I have this seriously big problem on my computer (well why else would i be here)i have a ACER Aspire L100 which is a VERY good pc.it used to have Media Centre edition as the operating system but it suddenly stopped working. so i was forced to install windows xp home edition.now when i install the sound driver ever time i try and open up a media program such as media player or itunes and turns around and tells me that there is a problem with the sound card and another program must be using it. The graphic driver is the other driver that wont install properly. when i run the installation i get a message that reads
ive tried and run windows update but it doesnt find anything.
I have a HP Officejet 710 All-in-one,when I try to install my printer it dose not install,I keep getting a message,C:WindowsSystem32AutoExec.NT.The system files not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows. Applications.What can I do to install this printer
I am running widows XP with SP2 installed and have never had problems with the 2 printers I have installed. A Lexmark X2250 & HP photosmart 7760 untill we had to take the computer in to have Norton antivirus 2005 update installed. When we got it back I found that both my printers did not work & neather of them showed up in the control panal. When I tried to print I got a message reading "Windows can not connect printer. The printer spooler is not running". I contacted the company that put Norton in & they said they touch the printers. Can anyone help me on how to correct this problem or direct me to where I can get info. on the printer spooler so I can reinstall my printers? I am very new at working on the computer be would like to learn.
I have a Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2, if that matters) graphics specialty workstation on my Windows 2000 domain. I have the same problem that several other people have posted here, where I want anyone who logs into that computer to be able to use its locally-connected HP PhotoSmart 7900 color inkjet printer. But when XP is connected to a Windows domain, nobody who doesn't have administrator rights to the computer can install the printer; besides that, I really don't want to have to get involved every time somebody who's never used that computer before suddenly wants to print on it.
We've just purchased a new laptop and would like to be able to print from our Lexmark printer (attached to a desktop pc) that is in another room. All attempts to "add another printer" have been futile. I can't seem to locate a printer when I "browse" for one and have no idea what the URL is for our Lexmark.
My computer had been running fine, but I was using Mcafee and I hated it, so I uninstalled it. Without having any antivirus software to replace it with right away. So, about a week later (aka today), my dad was helping me install a new printer when everything went crazy. It was taking forever for my computer to boot up, and then after it was 'ready' it was incredibly slow. Then it would go to a blue screen with some text on it (I wish I had written down what it said, but I didn't-something about an infection detected) and we would shut it down manually. Finally, we were able to restore the computer to an earlier date. The printer is no longer installed, but I think I still have a virus.
I just installed avast, which during a reboot it did a scan where I had lots of infected files, and several options as to what to do with them. A few of them were temporary internet files, and not thinking, I hit delete. I realized this was a bad idea, and for the infected files after that, I selected "move to chest." I'm not sure where to go from here. A lot of them are c:system volume information\_restore... which might have something to do with why my speakers aren't working.
I run a system with win xp home and usb1 ports. I want to install a pci card with usb2 ports to use with my new printer. I would like to know what will happened with my usb1 ports after I installed usb2 ports.Will I have both type of ports available in the same time?
System: XP Professional recently authenticated with MS GWA (cdrom enroute) was a ?pirated? copy
I have gone as far as I am comfortable with to locate and install the required .dll files. I authenticated the Windows XP. I downloaded 21 updates. I installed XPmedic, emailed them for support, and no response after 4 days. Below is the contents of the screen that stops the HP printer installation.
"Issues stopping installation:

I have been trying to install a HP PSC 1350 printer, but have encounter an error repeatedly. The installation runs smoothly until I am asked to insert the USB cable. When I do, the progress bar reaches 6/8 before I am notified that the 'RPC Server could not be reached'. I have check Services, and both the RPC services are on, but still nothing- what could it be?I am running Windows XP Home, with 171.2GB additional memory, 512MB RAM and and a 3Ghz Processor.
During my network troubleshooting, I was checking my NIC configuration on my desktop to make sure that file and print sharing was enabled and realized that there is nothing installed, no clients, services, or protocols. When I try to install I got an error message that the file could not be found.This is strange because I get access to the internet.Is this possible?Could this be the reason my laptop cannot access the desktop? How I fix this?
I'm trying to install an old driver (VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller) for my firewire card. When I try to install it through the device manager, there's only an option to update the driver so when I try to install the old one it says it can't find a better match than the one I've got already (generic cardbus controller).I've tried uninstalling the current driver but I can't find a way to manually install the old one. I'm running XP Pro SP3 on an HP 530 laptop.
I did an XP update and installed all the Windows updates. Now I cannot install my Radeon SE-DT graphics drivers. I get an "installation failed, try to install standard VGA drivers" note after the most current downloaded driver installation program runs InstallShield. I'm running on an ASUS A7V motherboard (1011 BIOS) with AMD Athlon processor and 768 MB of Crucial RAM; 2GB Maxtor drive. I'm using LiveOne Care for security.I'd lime to know if the motherboard chipset drivers can be updated from within Windows without doing the floppy disk boot.
I'm running graphics on the VGA save mode and it is goofy scrolling down a screen watching the waves as the data clunks in. Can anyone suggest an easy install? ATI Radeon has been no help so far. By the way, Device Manager shows no video display components from which verify or update drivers.
I have a new video driver for my monitor but cannot install it. I am running XP Home Edition. I go to settings>advanced>monitor but the properties button is grayed out and I cannot select it.
Since upgrading from ME to Win2k I have had to upgrade most of my drivers. I have an oversize printer bjc5100 that I use in my artwork. The new driver for the printer won't install on my system. It doesn't even recognize that it's in the file I've designated.
I have a USB device (Motorola V3 phone) and when connected it the driver did not install properly (something like there was an error installing the device) and the only option was to close the device wizard (no back option) I tried this on all my USB ports. The problem now is that when I plug the phone into a USB nothing happens at all - it doesn't try and load a new driver and since the driver it installed before didn't work it doesn't use that.How can I remove all trace of the phone from the PC so that it will have another go at installing the driver (I used the CD that came with the phone before, but I have since got it to work on another PC by letting it search the web for a driver).
I recently bought a Motorola Razr V3m from Verizon. Everything works great except I cannot get the drivers to install to transfer music from the Vcast Music Manager to my phone. When I plug in my phone, it says "Found New Hardware Razr V3c". I don't know if this is because the V3m uses the same drivers, but none the less, it won't install. It will end up saying " Cannot Install this hardware". If I plug in my phone while it is off, it will detect it as "Motorola USB Modem" and complete the installation, but 30 seconds after turning it back on, it then again detects it as "Razr V3m". I have tried to install on 2 PCs, one running WinXP Pro, other running WinXP Media Center. I am using the CD that came in the "Vcast Music Essentials Kit".
I had Vista, I hated it so I installed a copy of WIndows XP SP3 I had. I have had no audio and belarc wouldn't even recognise the existance of a sound card. After attempting the fixes suggested on other threads here and elsewhere I managed to get microsoft uaa function driver for high definition audio - Adi 1983 to show up in my device manager, but it has a yellow ! exclamation mark.still no sound.
In the printer and faxes window there are printer icons listed in addition to my default HP Printer. Whiy are they listed there and what do they do since you can't use them...or can you and if so, how? Two that are listed on my computer are:
