Add Printer Wizard Vista does not work
On Vista with SP latext
When I select Add a printer from anywhere, nothing happens. I don't see listed anyprinters. Spooler is running.
Try this it worked for me (after that through several tech consults... grrr):
I can't believe how easy the solution was... amazing that this simple solution has been so difficult to dig for!
All I had to do was go to the Device Manager and disable the PCI Standard improved to the USB host controller.
That's all! Turned on my printer and installed the software and I printed a page within 3 minutes!
How frustrating that it took me more than 30 hours to get this simple solution. But I hope that it can save someone else from countless hours and frustration.
I found the answer on CNET: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-12546_102-215320.html

I have Windows XP - Pro. The "Print Scr" button does not work and niether is the combination of keys 'Alt + P'. My keyboard is not an "F LOCK" / key "F Lock feature" because it has a "Num Lock" key There's no other keys on my key Board that suggest even a '___Lock' of any kind. If not, how can I get this feature. Oh... and one more thing, Microsoft/people sending responses to others, here, to "Social responses" can you try to be a little more specific with what you're talking about? As your knowledge is greatly appreciated by many, many of us are unfamilliar with computers and have NO idea what you're referring to. When Microsoft did not find something or is just lazy to do so, he advises people to "ask the administrator of the computer. I'm the "computer administrator", but I'm inexperienced! How does it work? Thank you all.

Note: there is a space between
'sfc' and ' / '.
To sit and wait. It will take time.
When finished, exit the cmd window.
Reboot (restart your computer)After that, check if you can run the computer as well as to access the IE.

The Print Spool Service does not work
I use Windows XP and have 2 printers installed. I had no problems until recently, when I try to print I get an error message that I need to install a printer. When I went to control panel to check the status of my printers don't have no installed printer. When I clicked on the "Add a printer" icon, I received a message that the "Service of Spool of printing does not work.". I can't find anywhere in the menu helps an answer to this problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I must mention that I restore the computer to an earlier time and he has not made a difference.
To activate the Print Spool Service, follow these steps:
1. click on the Start Menu, click Run, type "services.msc" and press ENTER.
2. in the Services pane, click on "Alert" and scroll down until you see "print spooler".
3. click on "Start service" or "Restart Service", as the case may be.
The print spooler service should now be enabled.
Check if the printing problem is resolved.
Hope this helps

Hi smithb2, welcome to the forums there.
I saw your post on the wireless radio does not not on your model Photosmart C309.
I did some research and came across this post in the community that seemed to have worked for others with the same problem.
Re: Without the printer wireless radio does not
I hope that helps!
If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Windows Media Player does not work. Impossible to use slide show programs, can not open attachments that require Media Player. Tried to update and couldn't. Couldn't fix it.
Hello
Run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation

Windows Vista does not work with modem wireless broadband
I saw no answer to this problem. Can anyone help?
Windows Vista on my DELL laptop at home does not work with my new NETGEAR modem wireless broadband 3 G. The modem appears in the list of networks, I just errors like: unable to connect, cannot diagnose,... Both devices work perfectly well together when connected by cable but not wireless. Interestingly, my laptop work, also a DELL but runing Windows XP, works very well with the NETGEAR modem.
Summary:
Vista / Netgear wired - work
Vista / Netgear wireless - does not work
XP / Netgear wireless - workI went through the NETGEAR troubleshooting guide, doing everything from changing the types of security to manually enter the MAC address of the laptop. I ran to the ground with the NETGEAR support engineers, and they said check with Microsoft. I am convinced that it has something to do with Vista. Any ideas?

HP 1012 printer won't ADD. Windows Vista does not recognize the printer or port.
Windows does not add 1012 HP printer.
Although compatible with Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-vista/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=LaserJet%201012%2015ppm%20600x600dpi%208MB%20USB&v=HP&uid=Q2461AABA&pf=0&pi=0&s=HP%20Printer%201012&os=32-bit, a free download is required (whatever that means - read the above yourself). This is perhaps why you cannot install. While on the HP site, get the most up-to-date drivers, firmware or software for this printer and use it for installation (which came on the drive or what you perhaps obsolete).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!
