• Problem adding network printers; received this message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» »

  Hello

  I have a Windows XP pro (Lenovo) that I recently ran the recovery and returned to certain configurations of 1.5 years. Now I can't add a network printer and get always the message error «Windows cannot connect to the printer or the name of the printer...» ». I ping the printer and all on my network can add these printers, it's just that a machine that fails to add network printers.

  I disabled the firewall, but were still unable to add the printer. Then I found some difficulties to register for a similar problem, but they were not useful... It really becomes a big headache, especially Windows restore does not work...

  I strongly suspect that 1.5 years, someone has renamed the printer.  Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the print server through My Network Places and see what it's callednow .  Otherwise, you could ask your network/system administrator.  You should know...

• Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  Hi I encounter an error message "Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You don't have appropriate permissions to access. »

  The error message every time I click on administrative tools of the window (including the Control Panel, windows update, the Windows Explorer, etc.) but without impact on other programs I have.

  I rebooted in safe mode and discover that everything works fine (no error message will appear when you click on window management tools).

  I proceed to do a clean boot-> first disable all services of third parties (message yet to come), and then clear the components of the service windows (message yet to come)

  I tried to type "explorer.exe" in the start menu-> search field then click right highlight to run with administrative rights, then received another message of error "Server execution failed".

  I am the administrator account on this PC - and have full access.

  The error seems to have appeared on 11 August after Windows Update the following:

  Update of security for Microsoft Windows (KB2536276, 2556532 2559049, 2560656, 2563894, 2567680), and

  Update for Microsoft Windows KB2563227

  A security update for the Microsoft.net framework 4 client profile (verson 1)

  There is no installation of any software or updates outside the windows update.

  I also tried to restore the windows before August 10, 2011, but that did nothing.

  As the error prevents me to access any object Admin window - I'm unable to retrieve the product ID and write to Microsoft Tech and ask for help.

  I hope some of you can offer the suggestion of possible solutions (I really want to re - install window 7 and other software, I'm sure).

  Thank you.

  My solution works in about 2 minutes, it's a very weird error and only happened to 3 jobs in the last 3 years, this solution does not need to create another account if local administrator is active and allows access to the corrupt user documents ect.

  Log in as the local administrator or a domain administrator

  If the local administrator is not activated refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555910 and after completing these newspapers of steps on the local administrator account.

  Locate the user for example files. C:\Users\[username]\

  If you see no AppData press Alt to see the toolbar at the top of the window, select Tools > folder options, go to the view tab and select "Show hidden files, folders and drives" click OK.

  Go to AppData\Local

  Select all (Ctrl + a).

  Delete

  This allows to release the error.

  Hello

  I have an Acer Aspire 5740 G computer laptop running Windows 7. When I tried to play a movie today, it did not work.

  Windows 7 no sound at all

  Hello

  I would like to ask help for Win 7 problem 'No audio '.

  I have a Win 7 64-bit Professional desktop PC. It has a motherboard Asus P5Q - EM.
  Previously, everything worked very well over a year, but now there is no sound at all. I see a little red x in addition to the speacer icon.

  I got a craphics card problem and it has been replaced, and shortly after, I didn't notice that no audio problem.

  First of all, I tried to fix the external audio card drivers - no help. Then I thought to use the motherboard
  audio only and removed the external audio card. I have cheked Bios that there is audio compatible motherboard.
  Windows Manager device shows Audio Realtek High Definetion. (Once I reinstalled externally
  audio card, but did not get it to work and I deleted again and focused on getting the Audio motherboard
  work.)

  Through the Device Manager, I uninstalled the device Audio from Realtek motherboard and all other audio related devices and start the PC.
  After you start Windows 7 detects audio devices well and tries to install the drivers but still said the driver installation failed.

  I also used the troubleshooter in Windows 7. According to the material and audio, I clicked on the audio playback troubleshooting. The system has tried to install the drivers, but all have failed in similar way as after rebootig.

  When I go to see the Audio the Realtek High Defenetion properties, it says:
  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

  I downloaded the latest drivers (some 54 Mb file called: 64bit_Vista_Win7_R267) Realtek www-site and run it, but no help. Same problem - no sound at all.

  If I run application system information and go to the "components" > "Problem Devices", it is said Realtek High Definition Audio, error code: failure using the VxD loader. It is also noted on the VAN Miniport (IKEv2), error code: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

  I also unplug the beam of the motherboard front audio jack. I thought it may create a connector related issues, but he did not make a difference.

  If I ask the system to update the driver using Device Manager, it says that the piloted is up-to-date.

  I checked the details Realteck Sound Device in the Device Manager and it says under the number "Problem code" 13.

  Also other devices under device 'Video controls and sound game' managers do not work. I uninstalled all the. After reboot Windows 7 detects all the. Win 7 tries to install the drivers, but always fails and yellow! singing appears next to all devices.

  Under the NIC in Device Manager there is another device with the yellow! sign as well. The WAN Miniport (IKE v2). I don't know if it has something to do with this audio problem? Win 7 detects it as well after uninstalling and tries to install drivers after the start, but is also always fails.

  Now, I'm confused and I don't know if the problem is really in the Windows registry database? What is error code 13 of Realtek Audio device and what is actually the VxD loader problem?

  I'm completely lost on how to proceed with this problem.

  Can someone give advice on how to continue with this question...

  I plugged the the hardware id in the Microsoft Update Catalog and the device is identified as a C-Media CMI8738/C3DX PCI Audio Device but there only Windows 2000/XP drivers available through Windows Update (you need to install the ActiveX control to view and download the drivers):

  http://catalog.update.Microsoft.com/v7/site/search.aspx?q=PCI%5CVEN_13F6%26DEV_0111%26SUBSYS_011113F6%26REV_10

  Connect the hardware id PCIDatabase provides a link to C-Media (one-third to the bottom - device ID 0 x 0111):

  http://www.PCIDatabase.com/vendor_details.php?id=376

  However there are a of the drivers mentioned in the following link that can run, and I suggest to try:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/sound-audio/9824-c-media-Freezy-my-PC.html

  The driver is the "Striker 7.1 pilot" (striker81742.zip) in the following link:

  An in these drivers .inf file has an id of material corresponding to your device.

  I recommend the creation of a System Restore Point before trying new drivers.
