• Changing from Vista to Windows 7

  Nice day
  My question is very simple, I'm one of the many dissatisfied customers who stuck with windows Vista. My question is for people who has fooled in buying windows vista, they will have reduction if they purchase Windows 7.  I think it's just that I didn't have the choice when I bought my laptop and I was stuck with Vista.  Microsoft will step up and show the customer loyalty, or should I look at just to buy a MAC?

  Would really like a response on that.

  I'm sorry, but there is no discount for you unless you're in the qualification of the following categories:

• Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

  There is a problem with the 64-bit, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers which causes the spooler crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:

  DeskJet 710

  DeskJet 712

  DeskJet 720

  DeskJet 722

  DeskJet 810

  DeskJet 812

  Deskjet 820

  DeskJet 822

  DeskJet 1000

  The attachment contains a fix for this problem for Vista and Windows 7.

  [The patch does not work for Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 x 64 systems.  There are efforts to this address, if a solution is developed it will be shown here.  [{Edit - I did not progress by getting the patch to run in Windows 8 x 64.}]

  First of all make sure that the driver for the installed printer.  If the driver has not been installed go to start devices and printers, add printer, the local printer, choose the appropriate port (for the converters, USB-parallel, the port likely USB001: or maybe USB002 :), then click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.)

  Apply the patch as follows: log in to the computer with an administrator account.  Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the trombone at the end of this post.  Save the hotfix on your computer, then unzip it.  Then, copy the three DLL files in the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3

  Note that %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems it will be C:\Windows.  You can click Start, computer, and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it is in the right place.

  This can be done from a DOS command prompt if BACK is opened with the "run as Administrator" command or to explore with a copy and paste.  Depending on your UAC settings, you may need to provide confirmation.  Also allow existing files to be replaced if you are prompted.

  This patch is not necessary and should not be applied to a 32-bit version of Vista or Windows 7.

  Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris forguidelines for patch.

  Update - here is that of the more detailed installation instructions:

  Download the patch on the DJ_Patch.zip at the bottom of the page and save it on your computer.  Now click on the file and open it, and then extract the fix in a directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative BACK prompts by clicking Start, all programs, accessories, and then right-click on CMD. EXE and select run as administrator. Click in the DOS window, and then type the following command:

  MD c:\temp

  CD \temp

  Now extract the patch files in the c:\temp directory (all, extract c:\temp chose as a destination).

  [Update - Windows security settings can prevent these files from being used, please open computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties.]  If there is a message indicating the properties file has been downloaded from the internet and can be blocked and then unlock the file before continuing.]

  Then, click back to the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (the green stuff are comments, do not type them...)

  *. DLL DIR (just to check that the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others).

  Net stop spooler (ensures that the files are not in use.)

  Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)

  Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)

  Hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000 copy)

  NET Start Spooler

  Output

  [Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory.  You will get a warning asking if it's OK to replace the files, say "Yes".]

  At this point, the patch is installed and ready to print.

  Note that here printers do not support USB connections, they have only the parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer has a parallel port to use, it will be probably much less problematic than the use of a converter USB / parallel].   If you use a make you converter USB / parallel it is supported in your operating system.  The following messages are reported by cables USB-parallel that are supposed to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the converter USB / parallel besides the driver of the printer.  For converters supported, it is usually provided automatically in Windows 7.  Note: the appropriate to select for USB-parallel converter port is often USB001:.  I've heard of cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well.  If the port you are using is unable (after applying the fix) try to change the port by going to start, devices and printers, right-click on your printer and select printer properties, then click the Ports tab.

  Mick4 wrote: the problem is that I only could unzip the 3 dll files but don't know how to replace the bad dll files. Mick 4

  If you use Windows 7 do the following: log in as a user with the administrater properties.  [The following assumes that you are using IE as your browser] Click on the here link and select "Save".   Once the download is complete, select "Open folder", then right-click on the DJ_patch.zip file and select extract all.   If extract all is not an option, then click on "Open with" and select Windows Explorer.

  

  Leave the default directory and check the box "Show extracted files when you are finished", excerpt.   Click Start, computer, and type % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3.  Arrange the windows so that you can access the two parts of the window.  Go in the first pane and select the three files dll, hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll.  Now drag and drop them to the % windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 window, select copy and answer to 'replace' in the dialog box.

  Note: %windir%\System32 is a system variable that points to the Windows directory.  For most systems it will be C:\Windows, but it can vary depending on the configuration of NDO of hardware configuration of the computer.  If you type %windir%\SysWoW64\cmd.exe in the address bar in Explorer or in start, search programs and files, it will find the right directory.

• Bluetooth Driver required for DROIDX on Windows Vista 64-bit

  I don't know what version of the android OS that I use, but for me, my wife bought my DROIDX on December 19, 2010.

  I have discovered and twinning between HDLaptop and my DROIDX, but I can't seem to connect.  Since combining upward, I get a message from Windows Vista 64-bit:

  "Windows needs to install driver software for your Bluetooth device.

  My options are:

  Locate and install driver software (recommended)

  Ask me later

  Do not show this message for this device

  When I have Windows looking for the solution it always fails.  As I usually am connection and go to work, I usually choose ask me later.  But I just restarted and there is only the screen asking me all over again.

  But, in this sense, I bought a Samsung WEP460 handsfree.  I can't get the DROIDX to see this thing at all, but I just got paired up with my HDLaptop.

  When searching on the internet for a device for my droidx bluetooth driver, I noticed that everybody seemed to have driver problems with 64 bit versions of Windows Vista or Windows 7.

  It's apparently a nagging question that must always be treated, or everything what is the big deal here?

• Changing to a new computer from vista to windows 7. My file transfer and deletion of personal information, including files from my old computer for security reasons

  I'm about to change my old computer (windows vista) to a new all-in - one computer that has windows 7. Am I right in thinking that I can transfer my files incl. photos to an external hard drive and then plug that to my new download or is it more than that. Also, I have macafee protection on my old computer and don't know how to transfer to my new one cos I don't think that's it (we bought it second hand on ebay), and this should be done first.

  Finally how to make sure that none of my personal information is nowhere on my old for security reasons?

  I would appreciate any advice, thanks

  Several options;

  (1) simple, connect you external hard drive copy data

  Or use the backup software which may be preinstalled on the outside

  (2) for easy transfer Windows http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-GB/Windows7/Products/features/Windows-Easy-Transfer

  Old PC;

  The windows recovery discs to retrieve destructively to factory settings

  McAfee

  Uninstall on the old PC to the new PC, uninstall any trial version pre-installed anti-virus, reboot, reinstall McAfee from original installation media using your key

  New PC

  Make sure that it has been reset to the State of the plant, before you do something with it, because you don't know what the previous user used during or installed on it.

• Need to change default domain/user for logon in Windows 7 and Vista guest...

  I need to be able to change the default user domain\username login prompt. Team members where I work must be able to connect to a PC users perform a routine check, repair or warranty matenance etc and then reset the 'last loggon' to the user. This allows HIM to be able to hide our having been in their computer, a very important tool when doing security checks and looking for signs of use inappropriate computer, etc.

  In Windows XP, we could use the hack Reg next to reset the default journal, prompt the user and the domain, we need.

  REGEDIT4

  [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon]
  "DefaultUserName"="name of user.
  'DefaultDomainName '=' domain name '.
  "CachePrimaryDomain"="domain name".

  These settings are in the reg of Win 7, but they don't seem to do anything.

  What should I do so that these rule parameters and take control of the journal prompt?

  Thank you

  Ralph Malph

  PS... In my humble OPINION News groups were better...

  And now in recent years is the answer to my question... Where it should be in the group I had in there.

  I found the following .bat file will allow you to set the user name for the next log in Windows 7. (Copy the next lines of text in a text file and give it a .bat extension, then run it as a local administrator).

  Beginning of the .bat code to change the default name for the next journal newspaper in Win 7 *.

  REM echo off

  appeal reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" / v LastLoggedOnSAMUser /t REG_SZ /d "Domain\Username" /f

  appeal reg add "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI" / v LastLoggedOnUser /t REG_SZ /d "Domain\Username" /f

  pause

  End of code for Win 7, log name *.

  For Windows XP, the following .reg file can do the trick... Do the same as above, but use extension .reg...

  Beginning of. Code REG to change the username by default for the next log in Win XP *.

  REGEDIT4

• HP compaq 6730 s: SSDS for an 'old' Windows Vista laptop

  Hello world

  I'm doing a general upgrade to my old computer, which I use to work for the (somewhat cumbersome) analyses of data. I plan to increase my RAM memory of 8 GB (see post here) and now I'm wondering if the upgrade of my internal storage would change something.

  Change my HARD for one SSD drive would be possible / advisable? Can what types of SSD I use in this model? Should I update my windows OS too?

  I am currently running XP 32 bit (after downgrading from vista) alongside with Ubuntu 64-bit.

  I think that Vista and Windows 7 are optimized for SSD (7 specially, as related here) so, probably, that I would need to go to W7 too?

  Thanks sp much for your help!

  Gonzalo

  Vista is not optimized for one SSD in native mode. I recommend at least Windows 7 for one SSD. The current Linux kernels also have support SSD (active TRIM). You can install any 2.5 inches wide and 7 or 9.5 mm thick SATA SSD. My recommendation is a Samsung Evo 840 or 850 model. Avoid the MX100 Crucial he has caused a lot of problems reported here for reasons that have not yet been fully explained.

• Upgrade Vista to Windows 7 error: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation. The files may be damaged or missing. Error Code Ox80070017.

  I am upgrading of Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) for Windows 7 Home Premium (32 bit) - but getting stopped everytime I try, I end up with a dialog box stating: "Windows cannot copy files required for installation.

  What should I do to resolve this problem and allow full of Windows 7 installation? (my computer is a Compaq Presario V6000).

  Hello

  What installation media you are using?

  Method 1:

  Error 0 x 80070017 translates "CRC error" which means that the files that are copied from the disc are not making it to the hard drive with the same structure, which means that the 'original' the disk files are modified/changed/corrupted while being copied to the location of the 'destination' on your disk during Setup.

  This usually means a bad DVD, or an error reading on the DVD player.
