Cannot install KB974674 (restoring backups made on Windows XP on computers running Windows 7)

I tried to install KB974674 (restore backups in Windows XP on computers running Windows 7) on my laptop with Windows 7 starter (in Dutch), then a pop up shows saying there is an error, unspecified, 0x80004005. I just want to put the backup I did on my XP computer files (the backup contains files with the extension .dat), with windows on my new laptop backup and the backup on my external hard drive does not appear in the backup of windows on my laptop. I thought that this update would help me.

The real solution is to use Windows Easy Transfer.

  • Cannot install drivers for Deskjet 3650 in Windows 7 XP

    I have a HP Deskjet 3650 which is connected through the USB port on my primary computer running Windows 7.  I can print without problem, I have problems sharing this printer with 2 other computers running Windows XP.  I downloaded the drivers for XP and excerpts on the Windows 7 computer.

    On the properties of the printer HP Deskjet 3600 series, I clicked on the sharing tab.

    Share this printer and rendering of printing on client computers are both checked.

    When I click on additional drivers, only X 64 is checked and said yes less installed.

    The two other options (Itanium and x 86) are both unchecked and say no less installed.

    I tried x 86 control and clicking on OK.  Then I am asked to install print drivers and browse to where are printer drivers.  I navigate to the 3600, enu, pilots, win2k_xp folder and see hpf3600k.inf when I click Open, then select OK, I get a selected printer driver not found error that indicates the specified location does not contain the driver for hp deskjet 3600 series (BOBO) on the architecture of processor required.

    On one of the XP machines, I installed the printer software and am not able to print if I physically plug the printer on it.

    On another XP machine, I have installed the printer software, but I download and extract the drivers.  When I click on the Add Printer Wizard and select the printer on the network, it tells me that I'm about to connect to a printer on the computer Windows 7 and says that it will automatically install a print on my machine driver.  I click Yes to allow him to continue and he told me that the server for the hp deskjet 3600 printer doesn't have the installed printer driver and I can click OK to search for the correct driver.  I click OK and navigate to the folder I extracted the drivers to and see that hpf3600k.inf is located in the folder and click OK and I get a window of driver error install that says that Windows cannot locate a suitable printer driver.  To help locate and install a suitable driver, contact your administrator.

    So, it seems to me that the driver that I downloaded on the site of hp for Windows XP is not the correct driver, am I wrong here?

    How can I get this printer to print on all 3 computers work without having to move from one to the other.  The printer must be physically connected to the Windows 7 computer, as the other 2 are in children's rooms.

    Try the following: on the machine XP go to the printers and Faxes folder, add a local printer, printer, create a Port, Local Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the actual share of the shared computer and printer), OK, and then click disk and point to the directory where you unzipped the driver XP.

    On the XP machine, you have already installed the driver do the following: go to the printers and Faxes folder, right click on the Deskjet 3650, select Properties, Ports, the port, Local port Add, new Port, \\Computername\Printername (use the name of the shared computer and printer), OK.

Restarted my laptop and I tried installing several times, are the same mistakes. Also, I installed the old drivers from the CD supplied with the printer, the same error as shown.

    The drivers is not compatible to Windows 10? Any suggestion to solve this problems?

    Hello @chrislim2888,

    It is a great place to get help! I read your post and see that you are unable to install the printer on the computer Windows 10. Thank you for providing all the information and the screenshot. I want to help you solve this problem.

    I have provided with steps to unlock the hidden administrator account and the installation of the printer on this account to see if this will help this situation.
     
    Note: Do not connect the USB cable until you are prompted during the installation.

    • Go to your Start menu and in the box "search programs and files", type CMD.
    • CMD will fill as an option to search above, just right-click on it and "run as Administrator".
    • Once opens in CMD (command prompt), type net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
    • Then, close CMD and then restart your computer.
    • When your computer is on the newspaper in the new account which should show. It will be called Administrator and will not have a password on it.
    • If your computer automatically connects to your account after the restart then go to your Start menu and click on the arrow next to 'shutdown' and choose 'change user '. Now log on to the administrator account, that we have just released.
    • Under the administrator account, install the printer software.
    • Immediately after connecting the USB cable, follow the steps described in this paper: A Fatal Error displays during Installation of the software. This should resolve this error message.
    • Test the printer.
    • To disable the Admin account start at step 1 and type net user administrator / active: No..

    How is the printer connected?

  • Cannot install the update of security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    original title: why my XP pro does not accept the following security update? Update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Hello

    I'm not really very good which is why I chose to use automatic updates. I recently got 'updates are ready for your computer' and when I start to download it stops pretty quickly and said:

    The following updates have not been installed.

    Update security for Windows XP (KB2686509)

    Is there a wat to fix this problem without needing to know the registrys etc.

    Thank you

    Mick

    See my post on the third page of this topic which contains detailed instructions for anyone with this problem. Go to the bottom of this page and click Next until you get to page three.

    Thanks for the update Mick. You should be able to double-click the file to open it in the command prompt. I did not write the script, so I can't tell you why you were unable to launch it by double clicking. Right click and choose to run it in command line will still work.

    @ Icom756pro I do not work for Microsoft, then you would be best suited to forward your complaint directly to them. I understand your frustration, however. I can only recommend that you try the script that I've linked to page 1 of this topic. If this does not resolve the problem then simply hide the update. You should not be prompted to install later.

  • Cannot install the fix for security for Windows 8 (KB2909210)

    I tried dozens of times to install the latest updates of Windows 8 to my computer and nothing works. My computer refuses to install with the Windows automatic update. Whenever I try, I get a message that says no: 'No update available,' with a bar of green on the side, as if everything is OK.
    THEN, the Windows Update window updates and even once, I get a yellow shield, exclamation mark in the middle and a message that says I still have 38 updates important to install and 2 in option.

    So I decide that very well, since it refuses to work, why not go to the Download Center and try to install each patch or update individually and manually. For example, I went to the download page manual for upgrading security in the title of this message, KB2909210 - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=41800. I select English and click on 'Download' and following the instructions. A new window opens (I use Firefox) and it asks me if I want to open the file with the stand-alone Installer Windows Update (default) or save the file. If I choose to open the file directly from this point or save it first and then open it with the WUSI, I receive a new message, the red giant 'X' well displayed prominently, which says "Windows Update Standalone Installer" in large blue text below, "the update is not applicable to your computer."

    POPPYCOCK! This specific update was listed when I tried to use the automatic feature of Windows Update in Control Panel. As I said earlier, I tried several times to install it in this way, but he refused to install. Also fails the manual route through the Download Center. Apparently, there are updates of security to 2012 (!) who do not and will not be installed.

    Help! I already did a restore of the system more than a month after my hard drive has been corrupted. I made then a system reset to start over with what I thought would be a totally clean machine. Now, it seems that my hard disk is permanently damaged. Therefore, Windows refuses to properly update and patch up many vulnerabilities and security flaws. I'm tired of this. Help me to redo my computer safe and trustworthy!

    Windows Update corruption errors prevent Windows to install updates and service packs.

    To resolve this problem, use Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) Inbox. Then, install the update or Windows service pack again.

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, enter in the right edge of the screen, and then click Search. Or, if you use a mouse, point to the corner bottom right of the screen, then click on Search. Type the command prompt in the Search box, right click invite, and then click run as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.
    2. Type the following commands. Press ENTER after each command.

    Note It may take a few minutes for each operation in order to fill.

    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Scanhealth
    • DISM.exe / Online/Cleanup-image /Restorehealth
  • Close the command prompt, and then run Windows Update again.
  • DISM creates a log (% windir%/Logs/CBS/CBS.log) file that captures any issues that the tool found or fixed. %windir%\System32 is the folder in which Windows is installed. For example, the %windir%\System32 folder is C:\Windows.

  • Satellite A200-1 s 5 - cannot install driver LAN after installation of Windows 7

    I have a laptop Toshiba A200-1 s 5, serial number: X7357433K. I just installed Windows 7 and downloaded and installed all the drivers of Toshiba laptop. I have no problem device in the system information screen.

    In Device Manager, the cards I have that the "Intel (r) PRO/Wireless' network. When I install the downloaded driver for LAN (lan-20091103092515) it says "Realtek LAN Driver V7.003.0522.2009", but I can't not under network adapters - I don't know where he's going? I can't find everything Realtek device in Device Manager. Needles to say works Wireless LAN, LAN does not work.

    Connectivity doctor shows Wireless Lan, Dial-up Modem and Bluetooth, but no LAN. Trying to load the driver from Realtek - does not help. -message: the device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device (Code 31)
    I even tried to install from Realtek and update the driver for lan-20091103092515 - same error Code 31.

    Hey Buddy,

    You have an unknown device in Device Manager? This could be the missing LAN card

    Also check if there are devices hidden in Device Manager. So open the Device Manager and go to view > show hidden devices.

    Normally, you should now see the LAN card and then you can update the driver.

    Check this box!

  • Cannot install wc3 on elitebook hp with windows 7

When I put the reign of chaos it installed fine and correctly but when I put in disc expansion throne frozen it says I have to install warcraft 3 to go forward and I uninstalled it and tried to put it in different drives on my computer but nothing seems to work, would appreciate any help in this

    Hi KiD_CuD1,
     
    1. What is the exact message?
    2. using 64-bit or the 32-bit version of the operating system?
     
    Installing the game cannot continue due to some reasons such as:
     
    1 game corrupt in the DVD.
    2. the stripes or impure DVD.
    3 previous World Of Warcraft installation files on the computer that could not be rewritten.
    4. any security or any other application program blocks installation.

    Step 1: Clean the disc
     
    Clean the CD or the DVD. To do this, use a disc cleaning kit. Or gently wipe the silver side of the disc with a soft and Lint cotton cloth. Do not use cloth of paper which can scratch the plastic and leave streaks. When you clean the disc, wipe from the center of the disc outward. Do not use a circular motion. If the problem persists, clean the disc with a damp cloth or a commercial CD or DVD cleaning solution. Dry the disc thoroughly until you insert the disc in the drive.
                     
    Step 2: If the steps above don't fix the issue, I recommend you contact the support of World of Warcraft for the replaced disk.

     
                                    
     

    Thank you, and in what concerns:
