• OfficeJet Pro 8600 desktop shortcut does not open

  Het all. I just replaced my old HP 4180 with a new Officejet Pro 8600. We have three computer that connects to it, and the shortcut on the desktop to open the software of the printer communication does not work only on your laptop. I used the installation of itentical on all computers. The Office has the full package software and two laptops have only the basic print and scan package installed. I checked the target of the shortcut on two laptops, and they are identical. I also tried to disable the antivirus and firewall software, but that made no difference - still unable to open the software to set the printer preferences, etc.

  The laptop in qiestion is an EeePC H1000 running XP 32 bit, SP3. BTW, the laptop that has no problem is an identical unit.

  When I select the shortcut, the hourglass appears for a few seconds, the wireless icon flashes as it appears that the software is attemptong to connect to the printer, but the window indicating that it is retriving the device information will never appear and therefore also the printer wizard window also never appears.

  There's no problem with printing. Just get the Printer Wizard to open. Also for the record, if I select the printer in the Control Panel printer and faxes section, can I get the printer properties and preferences windows and make changes, but no way to get the companion window.

  I tried to reinstall the HP software without change. I also tried a "repair" and also no change.

  Any thoughts appreciated as to what else to look for that may be causing my problem.

  Finally, find my own solution. I followed the instructions in the Support Document HP c03640384 HP Printer Wizard opens with an error in Script or in Notepad.

  Even if it wasn't exactly my problem - I was just getting no response at all, - using the patch of registry (for my WinXP) of this document got my desktop shortcut does not work to open the Print Wizard.

  Looks like your Windows file associations have to dispose. This means that XP doesn't know what to do with files by looking at the file extension (.exe for executables)., .doc for MS documents, etc.

  If you don't have it you, something done for you - most likely malware.

  Go to this site WWW by Doug Knox:

  http://www.dougknox.com/

  On the left, click on the Win XP fixes, file Association fixed and read the instructions at the top of the page.

  Download the EXE File Association Fix on your desktop, unzip the file and apply it by following the instructions at the top of the page, then to restart and test.

  Run the following scans for malware, and then fix any problems:

  Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs:

  According to http://support.mozilla.com/en-us/kb/keyboard+shortcuts,.
  'Ctrl + End' should move the active tab to the end of the list of tabs.

  But the shortcut does not work. Only, it scrolls to the end of the current page as if only "End" is pressed.

• [LAVA Cross Post] CTRL + SHIFT + Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW

  Cross-post from the LAVA: http://lavag.org/topic/15619-ctrlshift-shortcuts-sometimes-not-working-in-labview/

  Bug Synopsis: CTRL + SHIFT + Alpha shortcuts do not work in LabVIEW. In particular, CTRL + SHIFT + Z, CTRL + SHIFT + E and CTRL + SHIFT + S

  Test installation: 32-bit LV2012 with the patch of f1 running on Win7 64-bit inside a Parallels VM in OS X 10.8.1 8

  To sum up the tests, I tried:

  • Several different combinations LabVIEW, guest OS and host OS all fail, including:
  • • LV2012f1 32 and 64-bit and 32-bit LV2009
    • Win7 32 and 64-bit and Windows XP x 64
    • Parallels and Parallels 7 8
    • OS X 10.7 and 10.8
  • Capturing the keyboard to the virtual machine
  • Turn each keyboard setting possible on Parallels, guest and host
  • Reinstall the keyboard drivers
  • Connect a checked keyboard that works on a native Windows machine
  • LabVIEW.ini deleting and letting it regenerate
  • Remapping the shortcuts, for example, CTRL + SHIFT + E to CTRL + E - in this case, 'Show project' works, so this may indicate that it is a problem registering the shortened press, do not invoke the action itself.
  • Sending via the keystrokes on-screen keyboards of guest and host
  • Sending the sequence of keys via SendInput by user32.dll WinAPI
  • Test every imaginable combo of SHIFT, ALT/OPTION, FN, COMMAND/CMD, CONTROL
  • Reinstall the virtual machines from scratch and relocation of LV
  • Here's a kicker: CTRL + SHIFT + Alpha shortcuts work very well on other windows programs (I tried 4 different programs, including Chrome, Notepad ++, Paint.NET), but it does NOT work for VIPM with CTRL + SHIFT + C. This means that only two programs where there are CTRL + MAJ + Alpha bugs are both related to LabVIEW.
  • Here's a better: it is only CTRL + SHIFT + Alpha shortcuts with the prob - CTRL + SHIFT + 3 properly active / deactivates grid alignment and the "tools > Options > Menu shortcuts" will record any shortcut CTRL + MAJ + Non-alpha; He was not only meets the shortcuts CTRL + SHIFT + Alpha.

  New idea of troubleshooting is highly appreciated; Please feel free to jump in here or on the LAVA.

  Still well and alive in Parallels 9 and LabVIEW 2013 SP1. Of course I could upgrade the latest versions to see if things have become more.

• Desktop Shortcuts no longer work on winxp

  Desktop Shortcuts no longer work on winxp.

  My Shortcuts no longer work on any of the acc on my computer please hlp? !!

  Hi Ktoffetti,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. What happens when you try to access the shortcut on the desktop?
  3. You receive an error message?
  4. You have security software installed on the computer?

  Method 1

  See the link below and run the fixit tool, check if it helps.

  Difficulty of broken desktop shortcuts and common system maintenance tasks

  http://support.Microsoft.com/mats/system_maintenance_for_windows/

  Method 2

  If the previous step fails, then check if the problem persists in the safe mode and after return with the result.

  A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

  Method 3

  If the problem persists in safe mode, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

  I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

  To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

• Windows Desktop Search is not working properly

  For some time after 4 days my computer will be slow and does not respond well. If I stop and start again, a box appears saying that desktop search is not working properly and options to stop the computer, reboot and rebuild the index.  After that performance improves for a few days.  What is the problem? Your help is appreciated.

  slberry50,
  Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

  Looks like the indexing service is not running, or stops for some reason any.  We will check the indexing service to see if it is set to automatically run first.
  Restart the Windows Search service
  Click Start, type services in the start search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click Services.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Scroll down and locate the service which is the Windows Search label.
  Right-click the service and then click Properties.
  Set the startup type: automatic (delayed start).
  Click Start to start the service, and then click OK.

  Rebuild the database that is used by the search indexer
  Click Start, the index in the search box and press ENTER.
  List programs, click on Indexing Options.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password, or provide confirmation.
  Click Advanced.
  Click on rebuild and then click OK to the warning that appears.
  Click OK to close the Indexing Options.
  Note: From now on, the system must re - index documents and electronic mail. However, when indexing is complete, it is likely that the performance of the system will return to acceptable levels.

  Run a file system check to ensure that no file system is damaged:
  To run the System File Checker tool, follow these steps:
  Click Start and type cmd in the box start the search.
  Right click on cmd in the list programs, and then click Run as administrator.
  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type your password or click on continue
  At the command prompt, type the following line and press ENTER:
  sfc/scannow
  When the analysis is complete, test to see if the problem you are experiencing is resolved.

  If your computer continues to experience bad performance, here are some additional troubleshooting steps:
