Automatic duplex does not work on Vista 64 w/6988dt

I was using a HP 6988dt for awhile of many computers XP and it works very well - I like the auto-recto-sided unit. I've upgraded a computer for Vista 64, installed software Vista 64 and printing works fine, except that the choice "use auto duplex" tab of the properties of the printer finish is not selectable. Does anyone have this working?

Thank you!

Go to the Printers folder, right-click on the 6988, run as administrator, properties, parameters, Installable Options and set the duplex unit installed, apply, OK.

    Buttons light Toshiba does not work under Vista.

    I installed added package versions available in Toshiba support page, but Toshiba Assist do not see the list of function buttons where I can change the feature keys.

    When this value added package is uninstalled all buttons works with WMP, but during the installation - do not.
    Illumination power button is not working do not by the press.

    This means support to toshiba button does not work properly with vista.

    I don't have these problems with XP

    Hello

    As far as I know, you can enable and disable the lighting in the BIOS.
    Go to BIOS and check if you can activate it.

    By the way; you said that buttons don t work with Vista.
    Have you tested this with Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba?

    You should do this!

  • Zoo Tycoon 2 does not work on Vista 64 bit Ultimate

    When I start the game it gives an error saying that I have 0 MB of RAM installed.
    I also have a stub GPF.

    I tried to turn on DEP for all programs and added ZT.exe in exceptional cases.
    I edit "MSCONFIG" to show only 2 GB of ram.

    The issue of ram 0 MB goes, but I still I get a stub of protection error when I start the game.

    The thing is my old Zoo Tycoon 1 full collection works very well.
    ZT1 was released around 2001-2002. Whereas ZT2 came out around 2006.
    How can and more old-fashioned work fine but not the new version. I expect it to be the other way around.

    Someone at the helpdesk said MS the ZT2 game does not work on Vista 64 bit and I should install a virtual machine so that it can work in 32-bit.
    Is really the only way? Help, please.

    Hi orbit17,
     
    Thanks for posting on Microsoft Answers.
     
    Try to turn on DEP for "Windows programs and services only" and then restart the computer and check with the game.

    Here is a link to a KB which deals with the minimum requirements of the system and the compatibility problems with Zoo Tycoon 2: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/889368

    Please make sure that your computer meets the requirements for the game and that your computer is compatible

    Also how much RAM do you have installed on the computer?
    Did you add extra RAM since the purchase of the computer?

    You can also try to run the memory diagnostic tool by using the Windows Vista DVD.

    I hope this helps.

  • Windows Update does not work under Vista

    Hello! I have Vista Ultimate 64 bit and a few weeks ago, I noticed that my windows updates had stopped working. I followed the instructions to do a repair of my drive, but got "the upgrade is not available. Press Cancel and then select upgrade to a newer version than what you have "." However, there is nothing that gives me this opportunity. How am I supposed to fix it then?

    I have a feeling that this happened after a service pack has been installed (3?), but as I put it to the automatic updates I have not noticed exactly when he had ceased. I'm frustrated and very frankly also irritated. I paid a fair bit for Vista Ultimate and I'm basically says my drive is useless. I ran the Microsoft Fix It, and he said he solved the problem, but it didn't. I also did a system restore and that do not also not fixed the problem. The error code I get whenever I have try to do an update is 80070490. I saw a lot of messages from people having this same problem, while searching for a solution, so there's obviously a problem somewhere I would appreciate to help get it sorted please.

  • Duplex does not work on HP Officejet L7680

    My HP Officejet Pro L7680 was a great impression.   But now, the two-sided printing function has stop working, not working, does not work.  The copier will make a copy of an original duplex two-sided.   But the printer does not print two sides automatically.

    Specifically, when you choose to print double-sided, it prints the first side of the sheet.  Normally, it will print the first side, pull the paper in the duplex unit and print the other side.  However, it is not normal.  Instead,.

    It ejects the first page of the document and a message appears saying that the printer is in paper.  I can press 'OK' and it will print the next page.

    I am running Windows 7, the printer is hard wired with a USB cable.  I checked the duplexer, it is clean and free of obstructions.  It snaps into place.

    Another post learn us that feature both sides of the user began to work again, after about 3 weeks.   See the address:

    http://h30434.www3.HP.com/T5/Web-printing-software/Oficejet-Pro-L7680-duplex-printing-doesn-t-work-a...

    If all goes well, my printer if auto heal like the other user.  .  If this isn't the case, I'd appreciate some tips from HP or someone else.

    Thank you.

    Hi Michael-Tulsa,

    I see that you encounter some problems when trying to print with the duplexer.

    A very important step to try is to please make sure you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a bar/power strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer for example, but it is intended for HP products in general. Please click the link which explains the problems when connected to an uninterruptible power supply/Strip/surge protector power.

    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, please click here: click here.

  • TEMPRO does not work for Vista Ultimate x 64

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio F50 - 10K and I installed Vista ultimate x 64 and the Tempro application does not work. After I installed, I left the start Tempro button checked and when I press finish it gives me this error:
    "internal error 2753.
    Toshiba.UI.controlpanelapplication.exe ".

    Same thing happens when I uncheck the box with start tempro.

    In both cases, nothing is left in the system, no files, no regstry, nothing.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hello!

    I searched on the Toshiba driver download page and I discovered, Tempro is available for Vista 32 bit and not 64 bit.

    I think so Tempro will not work on a 64 bit OS.

    Bye!

  • Keyboard does not work under Vista on Satellite L300D

    Dear readers,

    I have a Satelite L300D with Windows Vista 32 bit Home Premium. It is about 5 months and so far I have not had problems.

    Today, I started the book and noticed that I was not able to type my password for Windows.
    I thought, there must be a problem with the keyboard and restarted the laptop.
    I tried to enter the Bios and I wonderd, keyboard worked as expected it. Back to Vista, the keyboard does not work yet.

    I rebooted again and activated Capslock befor the Windowsstartup and looked at the LED.
    Just after the appearance of the Windowslogo, Capslock off a keyboard was dead.
    So I thougt it must be a driver error. I deleted the two driver files Hardware-Director told me where the drivers keyboard, rebooted twice a keyboard had returned to work, but only until the next reboot.

    So I decided to make the recovery of HARD drive and reinstall Windows, thinking, this should fix the problem.

    But it's still there.

    Is there someone who could help me? If this is an error of the driver, is should have disappeared when the laptop is in a State of delivery, right?

    I would be very happy for any advice or help

    Greetings from Berlin

    Thomas

    PS: I want to say sorry for my bad English... :-)

    Hey mate

    > It's about 5 months and until now I didn't have problems.

    I wonder why this keyboard problem happened after 5 months of use?  :|
    This means that this keyboard worked fine using the Vista and the Toshiba Recovery disk operating system but recently stopped working if the Microsoft OS is running.

    In my eyes it s a hardware issue ok, it s really strange that you can use it in the BIOS and the Linux system. But I recommend to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country and ask if the technician could test with the new keyboard.

    I think that your warranty is valid and therefore everything must be covered by the warranty!

    Good luck

    The wiresless is a Realtek RTL8187B Wireless 802. 11b / g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapt
    I am running the latest version of the BIOS and the 6.1148.924.2008 drivers dated 2008-09-24. If I use the latest drivers on the RealTek site, I get a message about an unknown error.

    If I use the NETWORK Ethernet card, then he gets a fine IP address so this isn't the show indicator to publish.
    Its not wireless security (I understand that Vista does not support WEP 128 bit). I turned off and it still does.

    Other laptops running XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux.
    If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.

    If someone has solved this.

    And no - don't tell me to go out and buy a router "Vista compatible".
    If Vista does not work with router XP and other operating systems compatible with Vista is wrong.

    Hello

    > Other portable XP connect correctly and this laptop connects fine using no security or WEP or WAP so I boot Linux. If the problem obviously lies with Vista and/or the drivers.
    I would say it is not a Vista problem or a Realtek driver problem because I have a Vista and Realtek WLan card and I can connect properly to my router.
    In you case, I would say that there is a compatibility problem between the router and the Vista because as you said the laptop can connect properly using Linux.

    I have goggled a bit and could solve most of the people who have had this issue, update the firmware on the router s.

    Maybe you should try that too.

  • Satellite A200-1AX: many applications does not work under Vista

    Greetings,

    I bought A200 1AX a few days ago and I'm not having a good experience with regard to the installation of applications on this Vista box. Even install yahoo messenger did not work and produces the NSIS error. 3D max 9 installation does not work (even though some have managed to operate); Install Adobe CS3 (supposed to be for Vista) did not entirely - the photopshop component have not installed, etc.

    The bottom line, I plan to move to XP OS. Means the required BIOS update I have my Vista recovery CD will NOT work after the switch to XP?

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Best regards, Ashraf.

    Unfortunately I put t know how to help you.
    Usually, if the 3rd party applications are designed and support the Vista while there should be no problem with unique program facilities.

    Check if all software packages are completely cared for and compatible with Vista.

    > The necessary BIOS update means that I have my Vista recovery CD will NOT work after the switch to XP?

    No, after the update the BIOS of XP, you will still be able to use the Vista CD from recovery, but perhaps some functions such as the FN keys will not work.
