cmd will not let me print findings

with vista, I need to copy information from the command prompt to display engineer my problem, but when I type copy its greyed out.

Hi Inky2u,

Try to right click in the command window and click on the option 'select all '. The text will be behighlighted in white. Then, press Ctrl and C on your keyboard. You must press the two together. This should copy the details that you need. Then, open your word processing software (or Windows Notepad), place the cursor within the window and press Ctrl and V button document on your keyboard. It will be 'paste' content that you just copied in the command window in your processor/Notepad document.

Otherwise, right click in the command prompt window and click Select all. Next, click the C:\ top left of the menu window (left of C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe) command will be displayed. Click Edit and the 'Copy' option should now be available for your use.

  • Documents in the print queue will not cancel or print

    I tried all the usual cancel, delete, turn off the PC, turn the printer off, turn them both off the coast of all etc.

    Do or not.  There is no test.

    These directions will not work with Windows XP, but it's the right idea.

    She also leaves a file .cmd lingering somewhere on your system.

    I propose the following technique that works for all versions of Windows and will not let any .cmd persistent or other files on your system:

    First to clear the print queue, you have to stop the print spooler service, and then remove all the jobs/print files pending.
        
    You cannot delete all print jobs in queue so that the Print Spooler Service is running, so you have to stop first.
            
    To stop the Print Spooler Service, click Start, run and enter in the box:
            
    services.msc
            
    Click OK to open the Services Applet.
            
    Locate the Print Spooler Service, right click and choose 'Properties' and then click on the "Stop" button to stop the Print Spooler Service is running.
        
    The option "Startup Type" of Service properties print spooler is usually set to "Automatic" (which is now a good time to check it out).
        
    If the "Startup type" is not set to "Automatic", set the "Startup Type" field to "Automatic" If that is your desire (which now is the time to check it out).

    Do not try to start or restart the Print Spooler Service again...
        
    Next. remove all updates pending upward and forward to printing from XP.  If they do not print before, you will need to send them to the printer again once things are cleaned in service yet.
        
    Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the following folder (assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive):
        
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\PRINTERS
            
    Delete all the print jobs in queue (select and delete all the files) in the folder if the folder is without waiting for print jobs.  The folder must be empty when you are finished.
            
    Reboot your system and check the Print Spooler Service again to make sure the Print Spooler Service restarts automatically restart (given that the startup type is set to automatic).
        
    After the reboot, check again the spooler service for printing and the 'Status' column for the print spooler must be read "started."

    Submit new failure of print jobs.

  • My trusty 2410xi has a mechanical jam and will not let me do all the work

    recently, when I turn on my trusty 2410xi all-in-One, it of a mechanical blocker and will not let me perform all tasks. I tried to disconnect the supply of the data lines, nothing helps. Looks like the print head may be stuck? I remember having the same problem a long time ago but don't remember what could be the solution to the problem.

    There are a few things that you, and not when this happens. Most of the time it's a very small piece of paper holding things to the top, or the printer just need a reset to zero more deep. The document following the link will take you through all the things you can try. If this does not work, you will need to replace the printer. Let me know what happens.

  • I try to access an application on the website of the Government GOING and that is to say the connection is not approved and will not let me continue, how can I do?

    I had this problem before on sites Web of VA. How Firefox can not trust a site from the U.S. Government? It indicates that the connection is not approved and will not let me continue. How can I make Firefox let me continue?

    This page opens another page in a frame.
    In such a case, you cannot make an exception.

    This server does not send a certificate chain that ends with a built-in root certificate.

    You can open this page in a tab to make it possible to create an exception if you really need access to the site.
    Note that storing a permanent exception should not be.

    Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:

    • chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL

    In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site

    • retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
    • inspect the certificate via the "view..." button. »

    I use iMessage to the text of my Macbook. For some reason, it will not let me send a text message to a particular group (everyone has iMessage/iPhones) to my computer, but works well on my iPhone. All messages always appear on my Macbook iMessage, but when I click in the conversation, no text box for me to write as he does with everyone. It's driving me crazy. How should I do? The two contacts are in my address book and identified on my computer but I can't their message from my computer and have to keep spending on my phone to text their return. Their new messages are always also highlighted on my computer. In the photo I've included, you can see there is no text box for the text of the group with "Franny, dad."

    Thanks for any help!

  • When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK.

    This has just begun. When I close firefox it tells me that I am closing multiple tabs. and will not let me save them. the only option is to cancel or OK. When I say OK and restart Firefox all my tabs go :-( This happens every time now. I know how to recover my old tabs but whenever I close Firefox it always warns me that I'm closing multiple tabs.

    Tanks for help getting Firefox working properly again
    Jim

    Do not use 'Clear history of Firefox closing' to clear the 'browsing history '.

    Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" is a more reliable way to restore the session data.

  • Satellite L850 - Win8.1 will not let me install the chipset drivers

    Hello

    After I've upgraded to pro 8.1 windows 64 bit 64-bit windows 8 (preinstalled), I thought that windows will not let me install the chipset drivers (downloaded from "toshiba site" for windows 8.1 pro 64-bit), but they stay with windows drivers installed for them.
    The Device Manager displays all installed and properly using. In addition, during the implementation was executed to install the chipset driver, he skipped most of them, to install a missing driver only (unfortunately have not kept any screen to show). I tried to install using the Device Manager (automatic search or manually navigating the computer files downloaded from the site), but it keeps saying that the drivers are up-to-date (drivers with the version from 2006, when later seen on the site are 2014). Any suggestion what to do?

    Model name: Satellite L850-1MK
    Version of the operating system: Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 6.3.9600
    CPU: Intel (r) Core i7-3630QM cpu @ 2.4 GHz
