• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

• Cannot change the type of administrator account during an administrator account

  Hello I seem to be stuck with the normal start safe mode and tried several things without success.
  So far I used Safeboot/restart and restart with normal startup and "clean boot" method of
  following the suggestions on the Microsoft Web site. Also reset all services by default. Whenever I try to start a service, it gives me the error 1084: Windows could not start the Windows Service on Local computer error 1084: this service cannot be started mode without failure or error 1068 "the dependency Service or group could start. Only some of the services have actually begun. Also, I can't in some documents and files, such as Documents and Settings and Config.Msi. With the error "there is no location (path) is not accessible"access denied" Almost all set so that it starts in the service is stopped and does not let me start with the same 2 errors. I tried to use the Windows Defender update option after the beginning of his service and I come with error found: Code 0x8007043c. I went to check if I had administrative rights by setting account type for my account current (user) who says it's an administrator account already, but he said that it is standard. When I try to switch to administrator it just combines the button "change account Type". At this point I don't know what to do besides restore my registry. I can provide a few previous actions if you need. I don't think I'm going to tinker with things more far away, however, in fear of complicating it. Any help would be appreciated.

  Don't give me the option to the Windows recovery environment in the startup options (F8), although it could be F2 or F12, I noticed for another set of options to start the computer (Windows Vista Ultimate). Furthermore, after being not able to use the WIndows recovery environment, I just went ahead and used Directory Services Restore Mode. After doing this I used the system restore and restored to the last point that he had saved and it solved the problem - once he had fixed services. I want to note also that, File Checker (SFC.exe) system, fixed a problem I was experiencing a lot more before with my computer takes about 3 minutes to start. Now it is lightning fast. Thanks for the help, and I hope this helps others who have the same problem (s).

  I can't change my settings to Windows Update under Vista. I am the administrator and the only user on the computer.

• Cannot change the type of data in the columns referenced by foreign keys

  Hello:
  
  I'm using Version 3.1.0.691 and change the types of data in many columns of data derived from the field types. If a column is referenced by a foreign key, however, the data type radio buttons are grayed out. I suppose that if I deleted the foreign key, that I would be able to change the data type of the column to a field, but that would be tedious. Is there another way to go about this?
  
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
  
  Thank you
  
  Doc

  Hi Doc,

  If a column is referenced by a foreign key, however, the data type radio buttons are grayed out.

  It is not good - if you have the PK column, and it is called by another FK column you can change the data type of column PK and FK column data type will follow the change. You cannot manually change the data type of column FK. Good column PK itself could relate to another column, and in this case you cannot change the data type of column PK.
  In your case - you need to find the first PK/Uk column that is not the column FK itself and change its data type. FK columns in the chain will follow.

• Cannot change the language of windows

  My windows CD is Norge language but I do not at all, after installing I could do notting. In the region and tried to change the language Norge in the USA, but still the language of windows is Norge. In windows Vista, I Winows live the language and is very easy to change the language in windows xp but I couldn't find it.

  I have problem with my Windows XP - PRO, as its main language is Norwegian, and I'm not Norwegian, so I couldn't find its framework, I am not in a position to still accomplish a simle copy paste!

• My computer is on a network, but Windows 7 (Pro x 64) shows that it is not. Cannot change network location to home. Cannot use the homegroup.

  I'm putting my network (with homegroup) home, but when I go into control panel > network and Internet > homegroup, it says:

  "This computer cannot connect to a homegroup." Then,

  "To create or join a homegroup, network location of your computer must be on home."

  Okay so. I go to network and sharing Center and click on "connect to a network" and I get a box in the lower right corner that says "no connection available.

  I find that strange, because when I click on 'My Computer', I see in the left pane all the computers in my house under 'Network'... so I'm in network... but I'm not?

  It is a problem because until I am able to add this computer, I am unable to share the data on this computer and it is my office alone AND the pc is connected to my router.

  I can not access my storage drive. I can't stream media.

  All opinions are appreciated. Thank you.

  Hello

  Check the Device Manager for the entry of valid card of the wire.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

  If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

  Check network connections to make sure that you have a Local Area Connection icon/entry, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

  http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_connection_tcp.jpg

  Connect you to the menu of the router from a work computer and make sure DHCP is on, and it is configured to assign IPs which can cover the number of computers that are connected (a bit more will be even better).

  Turn off the computer and the router, reset the router and the computer.

  Right-click on the wireless network connection card, select status, details and see if she got an IP address and the rest of the settings.

  It still does not work, try this too.

  Firewall software.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall Windows Firewall should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly, or uninstall it completely allowing the clean flow of traffic on the local network. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  Reset the network stacks .

  Type Cmd in the search text box.

  Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a command as administrator prompt.  Allow the elevation.

  Type netsh winsock reset at the command prompt and press the Enter key.

  Do the same process to refresh the TCP/IP, just replace the command typed with.

  netsh int ip reset

  Restart the computer.

  Can someone help me troubleshoot or identify what prevents me to change my network layout tab?  There is virtually no information on the internet addressing it.

• OfficeJet 8600: Cannot change network settings

  I have the same problem, as described in this previous thread where you can't change any settings when connecting to the printer via EWS.  Due to the installation, I use a box with Windows Server R2 2012.

  I can't change the IP address I get the message 'invalid input '.   I tried using the compatibility settings, but applying that makes blank pages.   I noticed that I get the same message when I try to change the hostname also like the OP did in the above link.

  Are there updates for this problem?

  I could change it using Google Chrome on Windows 10... I guess he doesn't like IE on Windows Server?
