Brother MFC-7420 does not appear on the Device Manager

I run a Brother MFC-7420 on Windows Vista - do it for a few years. Last week, it stopped printing in the middle of a report. When I print, it shows Status: Error. I did that the USB is correctly plugged at the end of the printer and hard drive. I uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled the driver software. The installation will not accomplish when I reconnect the USB hard drive according to the instructions. The printer does not appear in Device Manager - is usually present in the other devices folder, but who is absent too. Other thoughts?

Found a solution to the problem - had to install with a USB port - see below:

  • SD-R2312 device does not appear in the hardware Manager

    I have several problems with my Toshiba SD-R2312 Windows XP. Cannot open CD, device does not appear in the hardware Manager, drive is not displayed anywhere.

    First time it happened, I was able to reactivate it as described here.
    http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/all/Windows/t-28912-desperation-Toshiba-DVDROM-malfunction-possible-missing-driver.html

    After working for a few weeks, the drive is 'gone' once again, same symptoms as the first time.
    Try the registry fix again, I found that there are still "UpperFilters" (which I've deleted again), but not Lowerfilters.
    However, which did not help this time.

    I have no "unknown" devices that I could delete (see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=6548&messageID=22638).

    Does anyone have an idea how to get the drive working again? Is there a way to prevent that from happening again?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    If the drive is not displayed in Windows Explorer, perhaps this method can help. Try it!

  • My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers.

    My HP DVD/ROM does not appear in the device under my computer Manager or when I scan for readers, most of the time.  Every now and then it will be visible and I can use it but 90% of the time it does not exist.  I tried the regedit fix, nothing.  I tried the program Microsoft Fix It, it tells me it cannot locate a DVD/ROM.  I removed, cleaned and reinserted my DVD/ROM drive, but no difference.  I tried everything, except the upgrade to Windows 7... who will be my last resort.

    Hello gargoyle28m,

    If your hardware is not detected to upgrade to Windows 7 is not a resolution. This issue may be caused if the DVD drive is faulty or connections loose on the mother board. You may need to check the connections. I suggest you check if the DVD drive works on another computer. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help you with this problem.

  • Total memory of 4 GB newly installed does not appear in the Task Manager

    Total memory of 4 GB newly installed does not appear in the tab of the Task Manager performance. Only 3.3 GB appears. Is something wrong with the chopsticks of mem or mem from Vista 32 bit OS limit uses at this level. I have SP2.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929605

    "System memory shown in the system information dialog box in Windows Vista is less than expected if the 4 GB of RAM is installed.

    This behavior is the expected result of some hardware and software factors.

    Various devices in a typical computer require memory-mapped access. This is known as memory-mapped i/o (MMIO). For the MMIO space is available for 32-bit operating systems, the MMIO space must reside in the first 4 GB of address space.

    For example, if you have a video card that has 256 MB on-board memory, that memory must be mapped in the first 4 GB of address space. If 4 GB of system memory is already installed, the part of this address space must be reserved by the graphics memory mapping. Graphics memory mapping replaces part of the system memory. These conditions reduce the total amount of memory available to the OS System.

    The reduction in available system memory depends on the devices that are installed in the computer. However, to avoid potential driver compatibility issues, 32-bit versions of Windows Vista limit the total available memory to 3.12 GB. See the section 'More information' for more information on potential driver compatibility issues.

    If a computer has many features implemented, the available memory can be reduced to 3 GB or less. However, the maximum memory available in 32-bit versions of Windows Vista is typically 3.12 GB.

    See you soon.

  • My CD/DVD drive will not appear in the Device Manager, but present in the BIOS.

    DevCon didn't find it. It will not open even if I don't get to Device Manager and check for changes to the system. I deleted the registry entries upper and lower limit. Any other suggestions? For additional emphasis, he does not show even in the Manager of devices so I cannot restore or reinstall the drivers from there. It might also help that I use Vista Home Premium on a Compaq Presario F755us.

    Hello

    (1) does the BIOS see the main hard disk drive or a secondary hard drive?

    (2) remember to make changes to the computer before the show?

    You know may not be not that most systems are set to show only the splash screen. If you go into the BIOS Setup, it should show the disks that have been detected on two primary and secondary IDE channels.

    Note: the basic procedure to change the setting of the disk controller is to restart your computer and enter the system BIOS. The most common method is to press F2 to enter Setup, (another PC may use a different key). On the BIOS screen, find the setting that offers the AHCI, ATA or IDE and RAID. If the parameter is set to AHCI, change the setting to ATA. Restart the PC on the Windows installation disc

    Warning: Incorrect settings in the system BIOS can cause your PC function incorrectly. If you are not familiar with the configuration of the BIOS of the system, you must contact the PC manufacturer for assistance.

    Try the steps in the following article and check if it helps.

  • Realtek NIC does not show in the Device Manager - until a hardware scan is done

    A few months ago, I purchased a dv6 3240us and not downgraded to XP Pro win7 no problem, everything has been installed - everything I tried worked fine without any problem at all. I do not use this computer on the Internet - but I got the opportunity to connect the NETWORK card to a piece of equipment, I was working on that. When I went to change the IP address of the laptop - no local NIC (supposed to be Realtek) present in the Device Manager.  I installed the driver when I went down to XP without error.  I can only see the wireless adapter and it also shows on the system tray. When I right click on network adapters in Manager devices and do a scan for the hardware - the Realtek card is? and now everything works fine until I stop, then I have to go the process again. I watched the Realtek driver and he says its all working properly - any suggestions?

    Hello:

    I'm not familiar with the BIOS settings too consumer laptop, but see if there is a setting for a LAN Power Save Mode - maybe in the configuration menu of the device.

    On HP Business laptops, there is such a context, and the default value is enabled. What is this setting is to remove the wired NETWORK card at least that the PC is plugged in and connected to a LAN cable. This saves battery power.

    They also have a LAN/WLAN definition switch that disables the NETWORK adapter when the other is in use. For example, if I plug a wire to my Wired NETWORK card, my wireless NETWORK card is automatically disabled.

    If you have such a LAN Power Save setting, turn it off, and your NETWORK card must always be visible in Device Manager.
