• Photosmart C4780 installation fails at the "system cannot find the file specified."

  My problem began simply with your printer, a HP Photosmart C4780, who has always had a wireless connection and would not print.  Initially, the checked network connection fine control panel of the printer.  I ran a Microsoft printer troubleshooting, which found a block in line print and authorized.  The first test page print, but did print the "internal test page.  I did not understand what it meant, so I looked for help on the HP site.

  I ran the HP print and Scan Doctorand he suggested I have reinstall the driver.  I have downloaded and saved the current HP (PS_AIO_06_C4700_USW_Full_Win_enu_140_175.exe) and then uninstalled the existing driver.  When I tried to install a new, a window pops up saying "the system cannot find the file specified," with only a single box for click that simply says "OK".  The installation went through 'examining installation options', after entering "check updates, download updates, install updates" and then it was all in "audit system", who jumped out of the window "file not found" upwards, and when I clicked 'OK', the installation window as well as the error message box simply disappeared.  Which I suppose is the path to the file is under the window, but it didn't fit so he showed not the end.  What I read was "C:\Users\... \Local\Temp\7zS588E\Setup\.\Setup\hpzpnp40...»

  I found a topic on the same printer model for the same problem in the forum, which offered this hotfix:

  You must first complete a level 3 of the software uninstallation. I've included the steps below to do this.
  
  1. press the Windows key and the letter R
  2. type %temp%, and then click OK
  3. open the 7z folder (a more recent if there are multiples)
  4 open the util folder
  5 open the folder of the ccc
  6. double-click on the Uninstall_L3
  
  Once you have completed the Uninstall_L3, delete all of the items listed in the temp folder. Note, you will not be able to remove all the elements, please ignore those that do not. Then please empty the trash and perform a clean boot. I've included the document «How to perform a boot in Windows» If your computer does not request it, restart your computer.
  
  Once your computer is back, you must reinstall the printer software. You can do this either by using the Setup CD, or by downloading the software.

  I did what was suggested, until he got to the point where it says it was the case recommend not removing any more items if I had intended on using the HP Officejet printer (Yes, I have a second HP printer connected to the network) anytime in the future.  Not really understand how it all works, I decided to stop what I was doing, so unfortunately it has not solved my problem.

  Do I need to uninstall both printers HP before I can reinstall a?  And if I do that, is there a reason that I wouldn't be able to reinstall the two printers?  Looks like I'm asking trouble.  Bottom line... I can not install the driver.

  I tried to install the full versions and the driver base and still get the same result.

  I have a HP Pavilion dv6 - 3100t for computer laptop, running Windows 7 Edition Premium, version 6.1.7601 family service pack 1 64-bit.  I have not installed new hardware or software.  This printer has always had a wireless connection.  The router I'm using is a Netgear 54Mbps WGR614 v6 (provided by my cable company) and the network includes not only my laptop and the Photosmart printer, but also desktop ASUS, HP printer, an Officejet 6300 series (used only for printing graphics and photos via a wired to the router) and a chip on Vizio TV.  I use Norton 360 first Edition and disabled the antivirus auto-protect when I downloaded and tried to install the driver.

  Help, please!  And thanks in advance for your time and your attention.

  Oh, Jamieson, it worked!  I can print again!  A massive amount of thanks and congratulations to you.

  I couldn't believe it when he actually passed the point where it normally would stop the installation, but then almost at the end, upward jumped «Fatal error during installation»  My excitement sank into a depression.  He said while the installation was not successful and he needed to collect information in order to diagnose the fault.  I looked at what has been collected, and it was more or less gobblety-* beep * for me.  There was a code of 19714722 error condition, if that means anything.

  Then he placed on my desk, the "Error of Installation HP - Windows 7.hta" file and instructed me to do away with the current window, restart, and then open the file and move forward with these guidelines.  I did and he basically had me to restart the computer once again, and then turn the printer off, unplug the printer, then unplug the router, wait 30 seconds and then plug the TAA - DAA and back in, I'm back in the business of printing.

  Thank you very much for your time and patience.

  All the best to you and yours!

• Windows XP Professional Setup copy iaStor.sys then the OS says that it cannot copy the file iaStor.sys.

  After the RAID 0 disk partitioning, installing Windows says it will copy the files in the file system. The first file is iaStor.sys. My SATA CD drive runs for a few seconds, then there is a long pause, then the OS says that it cannot copy the file iaStor.sys. He goes on to say that I should check that there is a CD in the drive. Any ideas?

  Here's the solution to this problem:

  1. in the disk driver (a:\) root directory create a directory called holiday of $ $OEM existing files as they are, we will not delete or replace anything.

  2. in the directory $ $OEM you have created, create another directory called TEXTMODE

  3. copy all the driver files located in the root directory to the A:\$OEM$\TEXTMODE subdirectory, try to reinstall, it should now work.

  [1] note: support for WinXP SP2 ended the July 13, 2010! "Computers running WinXP SP2" will no longer receive software updates from Windows Update "[i.e., updated on and after August 2, 2010 so now that you're missing more than two years worth of updates to security critical! ] until SP3 has been installed.

• I get an error "Setup cannot copy the file els.dll" during the installation of Service Pack 3.

  The installation fails every time with this error. I can see and select the file in the temp folder, but it won't work. Any help would be appreciated. '

  Original title: 'Setup cannot copy the file els.dll' during the upgrade to Windows XP SP2 to SP3.

  In fact, I corrected it an hour ago and was meaning that close the message. I cleaned with CCleaner temporary files, downloaded the SP3 Installer on its own (no windows update) and disabled the antivirus. I was able to complete the installation.

  Thanks for the reply!

• Error: Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player can not support the Codec that was used to compress the file, MP3 downloads will not play

  Original title: MP3 downloads don't play no not on WMP

  My Windows Media Player recently stopped playing downloads from Amazon. I've never had this problem before. I installed VLC Player, has not worked... off the WMP in the Windows app, restarted, turned on the back and restarted... did not help. I get the message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The player may not support the Codec used to compress the file. This is for multiple downloads, so I don't think they would be all corrupted files.

  Hello
   
  Have you done any software or changes to the material on the computer before this problem?
   
  You mentioned that the files do not play on a third-party player as well. I suggest you to check if the files are corrupt.
