How do you know if you have Windows 32 or 64-bit

Start > right click on computer

Select Properties

Under system, you will see listed Windows 32-bit or 64-bit

32-bit applications can run on 64-bit systems, but not vice versa

When you run older applications, you should consider the installation of XP Mode with Virtual PC for Windows 7 (free)

It's as easy as 1-2-3

Update of Brother MFC-9700 downloads - I suggest that you always go here looking for drivers.  You want to maybe create a folder and make the backup copies of the software.

  • All-in-one printer, Brother MFC-4800

    I bought this product from brother because I trust the brand. Their products have lasted for me in the past and my MFC is always perfectly functional and worked until I installed some Windows updates on Windows. It was days after installing the updates I needed to print something, when I searched the brother and the Microsoft sites for a pilot updat they have both said that my model is no longer supported. I went back and uninstall updates, but the harm was done, and I couldn't get the device working. This is a MFC machine and because of that I relied on it heavily, print, scan, copy and fax. I have a printer inkjet color that I had to use, but you cannot print contracts with soluble ink in water. Therefore, I was printing on inkjet and using the brother to make copies of laser, the copy function is not dependent on pilot. This is ridiculous and inappropriate. I know they won't buy me another machine, but it will not be a brother because of that, I'm going to do my consumption of research reports and find something else. They should support the software for as long as the material. In addition I had bought three cartridges of toner at about $25 a month or two before that brother stopped supporting the unit. I'm very angry about this, that they either should have all pulled toner or sent stickers to the sellers warning of their intent to no longer support the device.

    They have lost my business.

    Hi Brian and JennyDickson,

    Thanks for posting in this forum. I understand that you can not scan to e-mail while you are able to scan to file. It would be useful that you could let us know what happens when you try to scan to an email, is there any error code or message that appears?

    Please see the links on the manufacturer's Web site and try the steps.

    I can't use the scan to e-mail with Outlook 2003 or Outlook2007 after update the ControlCenter3. The error message "command line argument is not valid" appears. What can I do?

  • I FORGOT the ADMIN PASSWORD FOR - (WEB PAGE) - HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer - N911g

    Hi all

    I changed my network SSID & PW but I forgot the password for the printer web page.

    Password was written in a notebook and notebook is moved at the moment by the cleaning person.

    Please HELP! Is there anyway I can reset the printer so that the admin password is also re-set. I try to reinstall the software printers, also I am not able to change the ip address and right now, there is no ip address... get no link and no ip address and no network... Please anyone who can help... Please help.

    * I read some part... to power off the printer, then press the power button on... and continue pressing the back button where he would have, for some time the printer is back back (it was to reset the printer)... which is about 23 times... zero.

    I really want to THANK you ALL for READING THIS & YOUR TIME. So please help if you can...

    and ideas?

    Thank you, xxVEGASxx

    * xxVEGASxx *.

    You can do a reset of the printer using the LED screen on the printer.

    Select Configuration, then Tools, then restore the default settings. "Restore default settings" is the last element of the list and you will have to scroll down to see it.

    Which erases all settings, including the password for the printer.

    To reset you describe is probably the one mentioned in this article:

    http://resetprinters.com/how-to-reset-the-HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8600-premium-all-in-one-printer/

    but it's probably a deeper reset that you really need anyway.

    Hey @jmichaelmcf,

    I see you have some problems with your Mac OSX 10.11 machine printing to your Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once done:

    1. Turn off the printer and the Mac.
    2. While the devices are turned off, disconnect the power cable from the back of the router for a minute.
    3. When the lights come back on the router, turn on the printer and the Mac.
    4. On your Mac, click on your Apple icon, system preferences and printers and Scanners.
    5. Hold down the CTRL key and click the icon of your printer on the left.
    6. Click on reset printing system.
    7. Click on the button "+" at the bottom left.
    8. In the window that appears, select your printer in the list.
    9. Click in the box next to and select your printer from the list.

  • All-in-one printer, HP OfficeJet 6210xi crippled

    I installed my portable printer all-in-one OfficeJet 6210xi more than 4 years ago. Everything worked well. About two years ago, I replaced my PC with WinXP Pro's home computer. Everything worked well. A few months later, I bought my wife a printer wireless HP DeskJet 6980 for his iMac. The installation was easier to run from my XP PC, so I have installed the software on the iMac and the XP PC, was the game of the XP PC then both the iMac and PC XP have been able to print to the HP 6980 wireless and the XP PC has been able to use all functions of the 6210xi all-in-one printer.

    Whenever there is a dialog box informing me of a software update for each printer on the XP PC or iMac, I accepted the update. Everything worked fine until a year ago, then the XP PC locked up in the middle of the scan of an image from the 6210. He had no other choice but to keep the power switch of the XP PC until the shutdown of the PC. "Windows Task Manager" can complete the task.

    When I rebooted, I got a message that Windows did not find file HPSoftwareUpdate.msi. I used Windows 'Search' to find the file, but the message rejected this file. For weeks, I have ' X'ed ' on the box dialog at every reboot and everything still worked fine, but one day, when I was offered a software update and I could not receive it. The company said that it lacked HPSoftwareUpdate.msi.

    I googled the problem and read that I have to uninstall and reinstall the HP software for the 6210. No help. I lived with the problem because everything worked fine, except that I could print is no longer to the XP PC HP 6980. The iMac has worked well with the 6980.

    Then the problems started. At the start, after that my desktop I get a box titled "Windows Installer", and then a second box: 'Please wait while Windows tries to configure library', then a dialog box "the feature you are trying to use is on a CD or another removable disk that is not available. Insert the disc of the photo gallery and click on OK. There is a drop down menu to 'Source '. If I try to 'Browse' the first thing that appears is the PhotoGallery.msi file in the folder C:\Windows\Hewlett-Packard\Setup Files Software Update\. I tried to click on the PhotoGallery.msi file, and I get a message that "the Update\PhotoGallery.msi C:\Windows\Hewlett-Packard\Setup of HP software is not a valid package for photo gallery. Try to find the PhotoGallery.msi installation package in a folder from which you can install Photo library". I tried to use Windows Search to find all other instances of PhotoGallery.msi, but I get the same message when I click on them. I tried to use the CD supplied with the printer. No help.

    I get an "error 1706. No source is valid for the product photo library is not found. Windows Installer error message cannot continue"when I exit the installation/configuration process. I have to cancel the process about 3 times before he left.

    My printer works fine as a printer and I can copy and FAX from the console of the printer, but whenever I get one sheet to FAX or copy, I get a warning sound and a message that the there is a problem.

    If I open "Image area" to try to scan a photo or a document, my albums are all absent and when I complete the scan, I get the same series of messages as when I reboot. The biggest difference is that the ongoing process of trying to repeat no matter how many times I Cancel. I have to use "Task Manager" to the "end task".

    I uninstalled the 6210 software and reinstalled several times. I used the CD that came with the printer and also the last driver downloaded from the HP Web site package. I uninstalled the software HP 6980. Nothing seems to make a difference.

    I think I have one or more of the following problems:

    #1. There is the uninstall process does not remove the files
    #2. There are registry entries that I need to remove
    #3. There are files for the HP 6980 in folders where there should be files HP 6210

    Does anyone know how to get all relevant files, registry entries and HP off my PC, apart from reinstalling Windows? I need to reinstall the software as if it was a first time install.

    FreddieVee

    First I ran the file gr_uninst.exe http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ 4 times. Then I ran msicuu2.exe the "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" (I have the link that you provided = http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301) and finally I used the EasyCleaner Registry Cleaner from ToniArts v2.0.

    I decided to use the three programs rather one and then re-install and hoping that all this work.

    After re-installing, using the last package of driver for my printer HP and the combination of the OS, everything works like new.

    Thank you for your advice,
