Cannot access windows temp file .pdf Creator to function or install USB printer

Nice day

I was pulling my hair out on this one, please help!

This is a new PC installed with windows 7 basic

I haven't installed a physical printer via USB, no problem, then tried to install a PDF Creator to send statements of a rental program. Installation and opening the .pdf Creator program, I get an error that it doesn't have permission to open the temp folder. I then also tried to install a second printer via USB but constantly receive the message not recognized USB device! and the printer cannot be found or installed. The PDF Creator should create a printer under printers but it hasent. I was convinced after having scoured the forums that the two issues were related and had to do with - user account control settings - unfortunately after countless did stop it no chance neither will work.

I tried the following

  • restarted the countless number of times disconnecting the pc
  • Turned UAC works with restarts in the meantime and attempt to install creator .pdf and the second usb printer install with this setting turned on and off with no luck.
  • checked the registry entry for the UAC sure he was totally disabled
  • verified that the second USB Samsung printer is 100% compatible with windows 7
  • downloaded the latest installation of creator .pdf files
  • cancelled all windows 7 updates with a system restore
  • uninstall all USB drivers who then reinstalled on reboot.
  • Tried to manually add the Samsung printer using Add Printer

I am now at a loss and am convinced that the two problems are related. Any help would be appreciated

Thank you

Molon

Hi molon,.

·        What is the model number of the printer?

·        Did you follow the guidelines in accordance with the installation guide supplied with the printer?

To refine the question

Try to use the USB port to which the first HP printer was connected to the Samsung printer.

To check if it's a bad USB cable unplug the USB cable from the printer HP to work and plug this USB cable into one of the other printers to determine if it will recognize and install.

  • I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer.

    I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work. The Windows Firewall is disabled on all computers. It worked well there 2 days. I can't find anything wrong with the network settings. Does anyone have a solution? Thank you.

    If the portion of the machine has activated - Simple file sharing (i.e. it is XP Home or it is XP Pro with Simple (default) file sharing) - while all file sharing connections authenticate as user 'guest '.  It will not matter what username / password you provide, it will attempt to authenticate as 'guest '.  If the guest user has received a password or the guest account is not active, you will experience the symptoms you describe.

    If the serving machine running XP Pro and Simple file sharing is disabled, then you should be able to connect by specifying the user as computer\user and the password to connect.  To turn off Simple file sharing:

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    Hello

    Please use the Windows Vista Forums.

    Start the Windows Installer service

    1. Click Start, type Services.msc and press {ENTER}

    2. double-click on Windows Installer

    3. set the Windows Installer to Manual startup type

    4. Click Start to start the service. Note the error message, if any.

    5. click on OK.

    Make sure that the Windows Installer is not disabled if group policy.

    a. Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the search box and press ENTER to open the Group Policy object editor.

    b. click on Computer Configuration, administrative templates, click Windows components and then click Windows Installer.

    c. double-click Disable Windows Installer on the right side.

    d. make sure that the configured or disabled option is selected.

    If this does not help, check that the location of the Msiexec.exe in the Windows registry file matches the location of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click on allow.

    3. in the right pane, double-click ImagePath.

    4. in the dialog box change channels, make sure that the string in the value box contains the correct path of the Msiexec.exe file on the hard drive. This is the way that you saved in step a, a - c. For example, if the Msiexec.exe file is located in the drive: \Windows\System32 hard disk, the correct path of the Msiexec.exe in the zone data file of value is the following path:

    drive: \Windows\System32\Msiexec.exe/v

    Note in this path, drive is the drive where Windows is installed. The "/v" at the end of the path is a parameter required by Windows Installer. Do not delete it.

    5. If the value box does not contain the correct path, type the correct path in the box, and then click OK.

    Note Add "/v" until the end of the path, as shown in the previous step.

    6. close the registry.

    Reregister Windows install.

    a. Click Start, type %windir%\system32\msiexec / unregserver in the search box, then press ENTER.
