Pro Fax Printer Reinstalls As Document Image Writer
Jul 8, 2005
My fax printer driver must have become corrupted because the console said there was no printer driver installed. I went to Add Windows Components, added Fax again and nothing happened. Went to Printers/Add Printer and let the wizard add a fax driver and it came up with a Microsoft Office Document Image Driver on LPT1. Fax Console still complains there is no fax driver, so I'm assuming that's the wrong printer driver.I'd like to force the install of a printer driver but I don't know what port it's supposed to be on and where to go to look for the driver.
I have a friend using a dell laptop, which she carries from home to office.She has a Compaq printer at the office, connected via usb.Every time she plugs in the usb cable for the printer, her laptop installs another instance of the same printer. Annoying as heck -checked once and she had a dozen or so of the same printer.Any ideas how to get rid of this? I think she said that it only happens if the laptop is on and then she plugs in the printer. If she remembers to hook up the usb cable before booting the laptop,
my hp psc 1100 series printer will not print, the scanner works,the copier works, but the printer will not print anything not even a test page,i keep getting this message, {SYSTEM ERROR DOCUMENT FAILED TO PRINT DUE TO A SYSTEM ERROR}, I am using Windows XP SP2 Media Centre Edition, the strange thing is the printer works perfectky on my other computer which is Windows ME edition
I use Office 2000. I think the latest big patch windows sent out. This was the one dealing with the Metafile Vulnerablity. Whenever, i click on a microsoft word document I get Windows Fax and Image viewer. The only way i can get it to open in word is to use this route. Right click the file>click on open with<choose Microsoft Word. This is just really annoying and i believe its related to the patch
i have a dell inspiron B130 laptop with a lexmarx 4200 series all-in-one printer. when i try to scan a document to a file,it goes directly to my photo editor instead. i have tried restarting the computer and turning off the printer to no avail.
I installed a new modem the other day cause the old one got fried. Now I am trying to print and the printer keeps giving me an error message, "this document fail to print." I tried all possible troubleshooting techniques but nothing help. I don't know what to do.
Why does "Domains," with urls of sites I never visited and do not want contained in my Registry, repeatedly reappear after I have deleted the "Domains" key? Deleting the �key� has not affected my computer�s operation nor my browsing. But the �key� reinstalls itself!
in the last month I've had to reinstall xp because my pc would stop booting and give the error message "windows cannot start due to missing or corrupt system file confid.sys." I've done fdisk 4 times before being told I should Format so the last time I had to reinstall I formatted. I have 2 problems righ tnow. First, in my craziness I had xp install twice today and have 2 versions on NTSF so I don't know if I can uninstall as it doesn't allow thru Add/remove Programs...Second problem. I'm told by some techs at work that I must have a virus in my mbr. I used the command fixnbr without really having more of a prayer than knowledge. I run antivurus multiple times a day because of my probs. What prg do I need to find a problem in my MBR? This pc is less than 5 months old and Dell is not very helpful on the phone.
This problem is now resolved: here is the fix that worked for me in case anyone else can use it. I tried a fix I found by Googling, applied it, and it did not work. This morning I called the Microsoft toll free number for Security issues (on their web site reached.Go into add remove programs and uninstall the msxml update kb945530. Close and go to windows update (start, all programs, near top of list). Click on express update: the update should now show on the list. Reinstall the update, then restart your computer.This worked for me and I hope it helps someone else who has the problem.
I have replaced my harddrive and do not use my cd writer anymore. It has not worked in 2 years and I save files to the USB memory sticks. Is there a way to make restore "disks" without using cd's?
How do I format (or erase?) cd's that have info on them using XP? The help screens do not seem to cover this. My cmputer has a dvd-rom and a dvd/cd writer.
Since a short time my both players do not knoe an empty CD or DVD.Every re-writable CD or DVD they recognize but noe an empty.Who can help me or have has the same problem
I have windows XP installed, service pack 3, and fully updated. As is all my anti-virus software etc, etc.My PC had a DVD Rom drive and a CD RW drive. I have just installed a new LiteOn DVD writer, making 3 drives in total. Everything works absolutely perfect. I can copy DVD's on the fly from my DVD Rom, and every other aspect of my PC is fine. All three drives work great. Except, now, my PC won't hibernate! It use to be able to robustly carry out this function with no issues. But as soon as I installed the DVD Writer, it will no longer work. I can make the PC hibernate manually by going to the computer 'turn off' option, and click 'hibernate' but it won't automatically do it after a set time. I have played about with the hibernation settings for ages but it makes no difference. How can I make my PC hibernate automatically like it use to?
I recently got the 'blue screen' on my IBM NetVista. various tech people and was told that 1.) my hard drive was gone; 2.) a bad virus had taken over the 'puter; and various other things. Being stubborn Scots-Irish, I decided to see what I could do before I gave up. Started computer again, tapping the F8 key while it was booting up......ran all the system diagnostic tests and passed them, so I knew it wasn't the hard drive. Finally got it to boot back up, but of course, had lost all my data; ran all my recover info and got everything back except my 'Record Now' feature, which allows me to make data discs, copy existing discs, It should have been on one of the original discs that came with the computer, but I can't find it.
Problem is, I want to save all my documents, games, addresses and such as back-up. How can I do that without my Record Now feature?
Is there a way to find that specific program on my Recovery discs and install lit to make my back-up copies? I haven't tried to copy to the floppy discs because it takes so many of them.
my computer with xp was running fine until i found that it was not showing my cd drive. I've checked the neccesary connection and they were all fine. the device manager shows the drive with a yellow sign giving error code 39 which says that driver is corrupt or missing. now my cd drive is a plug and play and does not have any driver bundled with it. uninstalling and reinstaling the drive wont help. xp detect the new hardware at the start up but again same problem.i wanted to reinstall xp but since cd drive is not available i tried to run it from hard disk. but it too was not running.
i want to watch a movie on my desktop it cannot play dvd with audio..it comes that when i open my dvd ram it displays 2 folders audio and video..and in auto play it plays no audio and the player saids unknown dvd
A few months ago, I thought my reliable internal DVD writer was finally on its last legs. When I would play it, it would stutter, play a DVD disk slightly at less than normal speed, and the audio had a slight echo to it. So I bought a new one (an LG). After 4 months, it had the same problem. I replaced it. The new one has the same problem. My external DVD writer seems to work fine. So, rather than the writer, I think it might be a driver issue?
I have put a DVD write drive in a dell computer now I am getting 3 short beeps when I try to boot up and it does not boot up. But if I leave it off for a few minutes it does boot up and works normal. I did put another memory stick in but it was beeping before this. Could it be anything to do with the power supply atx psu 250? I am not on it at the moment I dont know what type of bios it has. I have checked the two drives both seem ok when singly attached I did not need to but I have checked the memory 1 stick at a time seems ok. the other drive is a dvd rom plays but wont burn. Could it be a faulty EIDE cable I got a new one with the new drive but I did not use it.
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:
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.
I am trying to create a full HD image of my Dell c800 Laptop using Drive Image 7 (circa 2003) to an USB HD. I have tried twice and received failures about my HD having bad sectors OR locked sectors. I ran check disc with repair and did not find any problems. Re-ran check disc from the boot disc that came with the application and found no problems with the disc. Tried again for a backup and received the same error. I am thinking it is one of the programs I have loaded has a locked sector or one of my processes that loads during boot is the problem?
So two days ago my computer suddenly decides that when I arrive back home it would want to start running like a win 95. Thus, I promted to shut it down. Once it arrived to the loading screen after the reboot nothing occurred. I then decided to wait... 30mins later it goes black and then the message arrives: "Winlogon.exe-Badimage The Application or DLL C:/Windows/System32/sfc.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation disk settings." I have alot of stuff on my computer I need for work, is the only option to deleted everything and re add XP?
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.
After a system crash all printers are gone and when trying to add a printer I get the message: "Operation could not be completed. The print spooler service is not running" After starting the service manually and trying to add a printer I get the message:"Operation could not be completed" and the service is stopped again.I looked at some of the previous answers and related topics (like article nine, and Q324757
Earlier today, when logging on to my profile, I saw a message box that I think said something along the lines of "Windows cannot update your profile". The message box also had a timer counting down from 25. I clicked "OK" on the message box and proceeded to my desktop. However, once my profile was loaded, all items i My Documents were no longer there. In addition, it seemed as if several Properties were set back to their default states (i.e. my background picture was changed, my theme was changed etc.) Also, the only folder that now exists in the place of My Documents is "C:Documents and Settings TEMPMy Documents".
I recently received a military registration form which I had to download to my documents. It downloaded successfully. The problem is, it will not let me open it. When I double click on the ICON I get an error message. To wit:"The command cannot be performed because a dialog box is open. Click OK, and then close open dialog boxes to continue." I do have Norton Antivirus 2005 and a Pop Up Blocker activated. If this is the problem must I deleted them both before I can read my document or, being a beginner, am I simply missing something obvious.
I have deleted a document from my recycling bin a couple of days ago. I use a Dell XP Home pc. Is there any way to get that document back after it was deleted? I doubt it but thought I'd ask around
