My XP SP2 is not detecting any new printer attached. Both parallel and USB ports are not being detected. When I connect the printer and reboot, its like nothing at all has happened. The PC sits there finished booting, calm and quiet. They were being detected and installed some time ago. I suspect it might be a window corruption.. or some registry problem. Is there any way to refresh the windows registery so that it will start picking up printers again? Other devices like memory stick, external hard disk etc. are being picked up and working fine with USB
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 have had this problem and no one seems to know the answer. I reinstalled windows (before my headset was transmiting my voice perfectly) and when I tested my Mic, it didn't work! I could hear through it but my voice just wouldn't go through. I checked out the recorder on Windows, no sound. I did the check in the audio controls in the control panel, it didnt detect my voice either!I don't know what to do, I even bought a new headset and it still doesnt work, can anyone help me out? I even tried to do detect hardware (even though it should be plug and play, right?) but it wasn't found, help?
I have a problem installing Windows XP on Dell Precision Workstation 610, XP can't detect the hard drive attached to the Adaptec AIC 7890 SCSI controller. I've already tried loading a driver via floppy disk but still no glory.
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 recently donloaded the trial version of kapersky av since i heard its the best. It detected a bunch of trojans that AVG and CA antivirus never detected. Any ideas wat hese are or where they could have come from? Is this the system restore directory? Are these maybe older viruses still stuck in older system restore folders?? Please help, im a pretty careful web surfer and always have AVG active protection running so i dont understand how thse viruese got through?
I am running XP on a dell D610 laptop (new) When I access the internet by send/recieve in outlook or through explorer. Its taking up to five minutes to access pages or email. I am already connected !! I noticed that as soon as I execute send/recieve the CPU shoots up to 100% and stays there. When the CPU drops it connects. After the initial tedium things work OK until I log off or restart the laptop. I am currently in a remote location and have to use dial up. However the office PC seems to connect without these symptons.
So I was bored today and began creating a old Pentium 4 System out of old PC parts around the house.Now, I have assembled everything and have tested all the parts and all are working fine, However when I go to install Windows XP on the machine it will not detect the Hard Drive (On the Partition Screen). Now I thought it may be a hard drive problem so I connected the hard drive up to my current PC and ran the XP Installation fine.However, Now when I try to boot the XP I installed on the hard drive off of my other system it will get to the splash screen and restart, so I turned off automatic restart on system failure and I get the 0x0000007B Stop error.
So I retried the XP installation on the system again, got to the Partition and Hard Drive selection screen and still no Hard Drive to be seen, I plugged in a USB and it detected it fine.I have tried booting in safe mode & every option under F8, However it just restarts on the XP splash screen, And as I said the hard drive seems fine as it comes up in bios and my main PC ran it fine, So I'm beginning to think that i'm in need of my motherboards SATA Drivers or something.
How do you remove a hidden "StartUp program", like the one shown below? I need to remove it from my system. WinPatrol doesn't even detect it, so I can't remove that hidden program/file with WinPatrol. Is there a program that is made to detect hidden files like this (see below): I believe the program is actually part of the .NET Framework 2.0 (Service pack 1), which was installed on my computer, yesterday. I want to remove it & all of it's components if one of it's components is the exact same file I'm having trouble finding & removing from my list of StartUp programs. Is there a safe program that can detect & remove .NET Frameworks & other "hard to remove" files?
I had a 40 gig hard drive : then bought myself an 80 gig to accomodate the huge amount of music I had collected: essentially using the second hard drive merely as a storage space: i.e. it had no windows or other interface installed upon it and was run from harddrive number 1 (40gig) due to long overdue need of formating : I reformatted harddrive 1 and following said format I couldnt read hard drive 2 (with all my beloved music) through windows
after much headscratching I remembered that my original windows was fat 32 win xp pro and this new format job was ntfs win xp homeI havent had a chance to test my hard drive on a fat 32 driven pc yet : and i was posting here in the hope that someone could enlighten me on whether it is worth trying another format job with fat 32 and xp pro or whether there is anyway i can convert the 2nd hard drive to ntfs.
I just put my computer on stand by mode for the first time in my life and now every time i start my computer i get this message " Reboot and select proper Boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key "And in my setup mode theres no hard drive showing is it gone forever?? Everything was working perfect before i put that accidently on standby mode.
my USB Ports on my laptop are very intermittent. I have my mouse/keyboard wireless combo plugged directly into the P4, WinXP system. I get the combo set detecting and undetecting constantly. I have re-installed the USB drivers, tried different ports, tested other devices. My device manager is perfect. Is it lack of power to the USB ports?
channges i have made before the problem occurs: > installed VISTA INSPIRAT2 > system worked for 1 day > system stopping at the startup process "windows is starting" > mother board is not deetecting > but motherboard is working with another PC. > i cant able to press F2 or F8 bcz M.B is not detecting > so,i have used PS/2 to USB converter and connected M.B to USB port , M.B detected but not working with my computer,but working with any other computer.
I've recently installed windows xp over again and when I did it doesn't read the full hdd. so now I have 124 of the full 232.I'm on SP 2 right now and I believe I'm fully updated. I've already attempted partition magic and one I think it was called gnome drive. Both want me to purchase the products so I'm trying to find the free way out.
Okay, I bought a new mobo and set up a clone pc. ASrock combo mobo (the one with socket 754 and 939). I have everything set up right, POST confirms. Everything is good, POST works fine. I've got a formatted hard drive, no OS on it. I'm trying to install Windows to that OS, but it will not install. It goes to a blank screen after detecting my hardware settings. Wasn't sure if this topic should have gone in OS or hardware, so i put it here. I've tried 2 windows CDs and a Linux DVD on 2 different disc drives, and still nothing works past the "setup is detecting your hardware settings" screen. I have no idea what to do.
For the past 4 months, sometimes the computer doesnt shutdown properly. the computer power stays on but the monitor isnt detecting any signal from the pc. along with this I sometimes get a BSOD when shutting down stating that its caused by mv61xx.sys and the error code is 0x08E. I dont know why its doing this
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
For two weeks I have had a constant problem with freezing and disconnects on various sites, including updates for Norton and AdAware, so I don't know if it is browser related or not. Every few minutes data in and out stop completely for about 30 seconds, then resume normally until the next freeze. The disconnects may happen every few minutes, then may not happen for several days. This is a 38kbs dial-up, with no prior major problems. My ISP is baffled, Norton has NEVER found anything, AdAware finds only the normal browser cookies, Spybot never finds ANYTHING if I run AdAware first, the free version of Registry Mechanic didn't help, CWShredder found nothing. This happens even with no other programs running. This was not a gradual thing--if was fine one day, problem the next day. I tried un and reinstalling the modem driver and got a "not configured properly" message no matter how I tried it, so had to use system restore to get it back. Occasionally IE opens with the plain screen with "browser cannot find style and presentation information", then the next time it is normal.

Im having a problem with the USB error bubble popping up constantly.. Sometimes i will get an hour or two without the bubble coming up.. but usually it pops up bout every 2-5 seconds.. As you could probably guess this is interferring with how my computer is operating.. It freezes up alot but it will resume after the freeze.If i restart sometimes that will help a little by cutting down how many times the bubble comes up.. I dont have anything plugged into the USBs But i do have a modem connected by ethernet.The error bubbles say USB device unrecognized after clicking on it it shows one unknown device. I have tried powering down and shutting off the power strip. And unistalling all devices and rebooting.
Today I've been receiving a Windows error warning of a power surge on the USB hub. This warning continues to pop up (and block document windows) even after removing all USB devices. If I click on the error, I get a dialog box reporting that one USB device is drawing too much power through the hub, and it lists 5 USB ports with one highlighted as the problem device. It instructs me to remove the device and click the Reset button.I have three problems with this error. First, from the dialog box there's little way for me to determine which physical USB port is the problem, so I have to unplug all devices. Second, doing as instructed (disconnecting the devices and clicking Reset) doesn't clear up the problem, as I immediately get another warning.
I just recently had to do a system rescue on my hp machine. One issue i have run into is the computer will not boot up if the external HD is connected. This was not an issue prior. The drive is a fantom external drive and is connected by usb.
I have an MP3 player with a USB connection attached. Whenever I plug it in it tells me the information is on the J Drive, but I don't appear to have a J Drive. Can anyone explain what the J Drive is?
Okay, I guess I inadvertantly downloaded a zip file that I thought was something else but apparently it was Bundled with Spyware Everywhere, I've been spending the wee hours of the night attempting to remove this garbage but unfortunatly ISTsvc.exe and Hot as Hell and Bargain Buddy keep reinstalling even after I delete the Reg Entries etc. Also this is where my browser keeps getting Hijacked to "http://www.web--search.com/to.php?ID1=997&ID2=145248911&ID3=566146524954&ID4=0&ID5={677D98D5-F874-42EC-B42D-6CDCB0B549EA}" This other question is in relation to my parents puter That I plan on fixing later, They cant surf the net, something in the lower left of IE keeps flashing saying badurl.fhksadfs <------flashes too fast to read. Anyways....I'm going to attach my HiJackThis Log so that someone out the could better assist nme in this, how should I say......"Adventure".
