• How to configure a printer LPT when adapted to use a USB Port - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

  I have a computer that does not have an LPT port, and the printer that I want to use (EPSON Stylus Color 850) is not a USB Port or Ethernet.  I bought a cable USB2LPT and attempted to get the printer to work.

  My problem seems to be the choice of the port to use.  Here are the steps I followed:

  1. pick "Add a printer" of the control panel. Printers
     2 choose 'Add a local printer' (even if using the USB Port, like when I plugged the USB cable into the computer, I received the message installing driver recognition but not familiar "bong".)
     3 selected "use an existing port.
     4 select "USB001 (virtual printer to USB Port) - it was my best estimate of the long list provided."
     5 choose the EPSON Stylus Color 850 ECP2/PCS.

  The pilot was then installed without error and tried to print a test page which is that hangs without error.

  I deleted the printer then tried to assign the LPT1 port.  No help here either.

  If someone can help me with the installation, so I can get my documents to print I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you

  Dave

  You do not have an LPT port.  When you select the LPT port data are always written him even if your computer does not have the hardware installed to make it work.  It would work if you have installed a parallel PCI Port card.

  USB001 would be the first choice, then USB002...

  The next step as Fouzan points out is to contact the supplier of cable or Epson for support of printer you.  Start by Epson.

  You can try other cables, parallel PCI card or another printer. Alan Morris Windows printing team; Here Microsoft Knowledge Base search: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

• Is it useful to reset my Windows Vista Home Premium?

  He is three years old (he got the summer three years ago) and it is moderately-heavily used, as in, it is used every day, and there are many programs and files downloaded and installed I do not use. Through my computer and delete all of these files would take much more for a long time that simply reset and its replacement by backups.

  My computer is idle or, at least I think, however, I was maybe just more patient three years ago.
  In addition, please don't suggest you get a new computer, or to download a program to uninstall other programs for me, because my computer spastic and these programs tend to crash.
  Ah, Yes, that's another question. Some programs that I want to use more (Skype, Apple Software Update, RegClean, etc.) crash as soon as I opened the, and there seems not to be an error with the program, because I posted on other forums vain.
  So, is it useful to reset my computer? I can do that easily, it will take little effort. Basically, I want to say it's worth it, is, she will fix these issues, such as the opening of the program slowly and crashes random application? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Maybe this can help.
  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

• What is the largest HDD size that can be used with Windows Vista Home Premium

  Can you tell me this as the largest capacity hard drive that can be used in a computer Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with an Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 GHz processor.  The laptop came with a 160 GB HARD drive.

  Largest you can currently buy and probably larger that your mother/hardware card takes in charge.

  ~ 18 exabytes.

  Your limit is probably more capped by material (and possibly the cost) than the software.  :-)

• I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

  Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

  It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

  Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

  Help?

  Hi Jeffrey,.

  It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

  You can also use this method.

  You do not have a Vista disc that came with the computer to reinstall with, you should have a recovery Partition to do.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how to use the recovery partition to put your computer in a new State.

  You press F11 at startup or through their Recovery Manager.

  It is all explained in this link.
