• I get a "cannot install printer because a policy has been enabled on your computer that blocks NT 4.0 driver ' how can I install my printer?

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6500 running Vista 32 bit. I just bought a new printer, a HP Photosmart C4640, when I tried to install and connect I get a message indicating that it cannot install printer as a policy has been activated this block driver NT 4.0.

I am VERY fusturated at this point and desperately need help. What should I do to make this work?

  Hi jessheffernan2003,

  This problem occurs because Windows Vista does not support the installation of kernel-mode printer drivers. Windows Vista only supports installing user mode printer drivers.

  To work around this problem, try to get and install a printer driver as a user on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. If you can not get the particular user mode printer driver, try to get a driver printer in user mode compatible with the kernel mode printer driver which is hosted on the Windows NT 4.0 computer. To get a printer driver updated for the print device, contact the manufacturer of the printer.

  For more information about your hardware manufacturer, visit the following Web site:

• To install Windows 7 on Satellite L100-179

  Hello

  New to this site, I have a Satellite L100-179 running on XP Professional, originally from my laptop with XP Home and I have product for this recovery.

  I want to install Windows 7 and also to clean my laptop.
  So I have to first product recovery I guess xp family is on this point, to remove all waste from portable and then install windows 7?
  Windows 7 will work ok, or I lose my money?
  Laptop a 40 GB hard drive, 1.7 GHz, 1 MB of memory, Intel (R) Celeron (R) m

  Thanks for any help

  > take off so just to confirm that I had firstley of Windows XP Professional and install original Windows XP Home Edition could came with the laptop?

  Why you want to reinstall Win XP if you want to install Win 7?
  The configuration of installation of Win 7 will format the HARD drive or the partition too much and it will remove also all the waste
  Just start with a clean installation of Windows 7 that of pretty good.

  > However someone said I could put 2 x 2 GB memory is that correct that I thought I could go only up to 2 GB in TOTAL.
  That s dependent on the chipset and BIOS if the two parties would be supports 4 GB of RAM then you could use 2 x 2 GB of RAM, but in general, you should find an info in your user manual on the RAM upgrade and what value RAM is possible

  But in my opinion, only 2 GB of RAM is possible

• OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: Officejet Pro more than 8600 - cannot install printer on Windows 10

  I have upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and CANNOT install the printer.

  After the upgrade, the HP software prompted me to reconnect to the printer.  I chose for a wireless connection.

  The process hangs / locks the screen shown on the picture below.  I have tried just about EVERY related solutions posted in the community and have come-up-small.

  Did anyone else out there having the same problem?

  

  hjs_19... Thanks much for the reply.

  I was finally able to solve the problem using 'Reset this PC' in Windows 10 - see pictures below.

  My system has been corrupted somehow.  I don't know what was the cause, but the system works better than ever now (Lenovo T430 8 MB of RAM).  The process of 'Reset this PC' purged MANY foreigners "tricks" of the machine.

  

  

• Cannot install driver LAN on Satellite M100-221

  I have reinstalled the OS on my Satellite M100 - 221 PSMA0E.

  HE has already used Windows XP Home Edition, and now I have installed Windows XP Professional SP2. I have an error in my DEVICE MANAGER with ethernet, mass storage controller, SM bus controller controller. But let's for ETHERNET CONTROLLER.
  I have download the real LAN driver on the official website of Toshiba, and whenever I try to install it I get the message "the specified location contains no information about your hardware.
  In the wizard NETWORK UPADATE I have same option to choose the Realtek driver, only Intel and a few others. My network card was working very well on XP Home edition preinstalled. What am I, I guess what to do? Help, please!

  Hello

  I guess you should try drivers intel instead of the realtek because drivers that your computer was shipped with a chipset Intel LAN.
  So, please visit the website of intel (www.intel.com) and download the latest drivers LAN from their homepage.

  It should work and you should soon have a working ethernet connection.

  Hey @brommmmm,

  One thing we know for sure is that your computer and the printer doesn't seem to like. I think that there are problems with your registry that are causing all these different errors, especially since the error log for the program installation continues to point to the registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Hewlett-Packard\Install\ {BCDD692B-17 2D-440-9A1B-501C71D72CC8} for permissions problems. I have a little more suggestions to solve these problems in System.

  Step 1: Uninstall your printer software and drivers

  Step 2: Run the CCleaner on your computer to fix registry issues:

  CCleaner

  Step 3: Unlock hidden Admin account:

  1. Open the display Start again by clicking the Windows start at the bottom of your computer screen icon or by selecting the Windows button in the bottom left of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl key.
  2. Once the splash screen opens, type command prompt
  3. Once the result of the search for the command prompt appears, do a right click on it and "run as administrator"
  4. Once the command prompt opens type: net user administrator / Active: Yes and press ENTER.
  5. Then, restart your computer
  6. When your computer turns back on, you should be able to log in to the new administrator account that appears. This account will not have a password on it.
  7. If your computer will automatically connect to your normal spending users user account and log on to the administrator account.

  Step 4: Install printer:

  1. Once you are logged into the new account administrator download and run the installation of your printer: HP Deskjet F2400 all-in-One series Full Feature Software and Driver
  2. Start the installation of your printer.
  3. Once the printer installs successfully log on the administrator account and log in to your normal user account. The printer should now be installed on your normal user account.

  Step 5: Disable the hidden Admin account:

  1. Open the display Start again by clicking the Windows start at the bottom of your computer screen icon or by selecting the Windows button in the bottom left of your keyboard to the right of the Ctrl key.
  2. Once the splash screen opens, type command prompt
  3. Once the result of the search for the command prompt appears, do a right click on it and "run as administrator"
  4. Once the command prompt opens type: net user administrator / active: No. and press ENTER.
  5. Then, restart your computer

  Please respond and let me know if everything works now. Fingers crossed!
