"Device Failed to Connect" sound notification with no popup at startup once the desktop appears

When the desktop appears, I sound "dududu" with no popup. I had to look it up in the audio file and the explanation next to it said noise "device failed to connect.

I currently have no device attached except speakers and keyboard and mouse. I bought a HP Phopsmart printer and installed but it does not work well, so I uninstalled it. I left the USB cable connected to the computer after disconnecting the printer after reboot several times, and then disconnected. At this time the sound notification has begun.

I don't know if the printer had nothing to do with it. What should I do to fix this? Help, please. Thank you.

Hello

Have you tried to remove your printer as described in the article?

If no, then try and see if the problem still occurs.

    Hi Pretzilz,

    I don't know if you're still looking for an answer to this problem, but I think I solved it!

    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate and I had installed Norton Internet Security 2010.  I decided to uninstall it after that trial was up and try Norton Antivirus instead.  I had also used the Norton Removal Tool and then these mysterious sounds "device could not connect" that occur at the start of my computer, just after the Office responsible.  He was literally driving me crazy because this is a brand new computer that should work just fine for most.

    So I investigated further after reading your post on the errors of the device, and I decided to take a peek in my "devices and printers" and "Device Manager ' screens."  Of course, the old screen claimed that my 'Ultrafast media player' and 'USB2.0CRW' required for troubleshooting (a small yellow sign).  I tried the troubleshooting through this screen, but to no avail.

    I went into Device Manager"through and under"Portable devices"my previously assigned different five of card readers had in small panel yellow symbols on them.  I went into the Properties window for each, and it says the following:

    Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

    Apparently, the Norton Removal Tool damaged my registry.  So I called my Alienware support people, and while they had me waiting a solution, I found a Microsoft Windows support article, which actually worked:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772156 (WS.10) .aspx

    I went to each player who was in trouble on the Device Manager, click right on it, uninstalled, and then scanned for changes to hardware and the OS found once again, not reinstalled, no problem.  I rebooted the computer just to make sure and voila.  No sounds more mystery.

    Oh - and I heard a total of five beeps at startup, but I have five disks pre-assigned.  I guess you hear three beeps, because you probably three drives.  I hope this works.

    Hello

    Thank you for writing to us, we are happy to help Microsoft Community.

    I checked online based on the error code you have mentioned and found that this issue is related to the UEFI secure boot fast.

    To resolve this problem, it is recommended to disable fast secure boot UEFI BIOS (Basic Input Output System) of your computer.

    To make changes to the BIOS settings, you will need to get in touch with the computer manufacturer.

    Hope that the information provided is useful. Do not hesitate to write us if you have any questions on windows and we will be happy to help you.

  • Fail to connect to Citrix with limited user, but succeeds with the Admin user

    On one of the facilities of our clients located on a Citrix server, users cannot connect to the database when they are limited to users. But if the same user is promoted to the administrator, it can connect.

    The Application uses ODP.Net to connect. In the installation of the other tools that use what ODBC works for limited users.

    The OracleConnection.Open method throws an exception without error message.

  • If a PC with a DHCP server is connected via VPN, with her serve IP addresses on the tunnel?

    Situation: we have a few portable computers test Ubuntu running DHCP servers.  We need get the updates and other changes in corporate network sometimes.  Today, we turn off the DHCP server, set up to get an IP via DHCP (besides) and make our updates.

    Problem: we do not want someone accidentally connect the laptop to the corporate network, while its DHCP server is running.

    Question: so, if we go via wifi using a Cisco VPN client, the DHCP server IP addresses above the tunnel?

    Thanks for reading.

    N ° DHCP uses layer 2 broadcasts to disseminate IP addresses.  Because your clients are connected via VPN, there is no contiguity of layer 2.  The only way he would accidentally do it is if you have configured an address to support IP dhcp as one of your VPN clients on the network, which I imagine you wouldn't.

  • InDesign CC crash with blue screen at startup to the top

    HY Forum!

    I just bought the full version of Adobe CC a few weeks ago. Adobe Audition/first/Media encode/Photoshop works very well. But if I want to run Adobe InDesign CC I instantly get a screen blue, followed by a restart of the automatic system. It happens every time after about one minute after the launch of the program, even when I do absolutely anything in InDesign and leave the portion of the mouse. It is a time-related system crash. According to me, InDesign tries to load something in the background, after commissioning and crashes more. But that's just a guess... I have attached a picture of the error massage and a screenshot of my system specs.

    Maybe someone can help here. As I said, the work of other programms all well.

  • HP LaserJet P1102w: Windows 8.1 - run two different USB connected P1102w printers with simple shortcut on the desktop?

    I am trying to set up a single laptop Windows 8.1 for someone who uses it according to the seasons in two locations (FL and MY). I installed a HP LaserJet P1102w printer in each location. I wish I had a printer that is connected USB (one at a time will be connected) able to access in an only menu icon Office or file print command.

    When you add the second printer, Windows8.1 recocognized, the driver is already installed, he apparently recognizes the different addresses MAC and/or numbers of series of different printers and present second printer on the page devices and printers in Control Panel or allow a second printer on the desktop icon.  The only way to tell apart printers is that one is listed as a Hewlett-Packard LaserJet P1102w and the other is listed as a HP LaserJet P1102w. It is rather confusing to the elderly person who will be using the laptop.

    Is it possible to have the mobile exploit any printer is connected both by means of a simple print command or icon? Maybe by connecting via a WSD Port Monitor?

    Thanks for any help or advice!

    Dave Waters

    Hey @dmwaters138,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I understand that you do not want to have two HP LaserJet Pro P1102w printer operation via USB Wired on 1 single machine with a single order of printing or the icon. I would like to help you with the configuration of this option today. Because there are two distinct Laserjet on Windows 8.1 computer printers, to do two icons impression for various devices. The best way to tell the difference between the two devices is to rename printers. Thus, when the client goes in file and print in the print dialog window, simply choose the printer name that corresponds with the device they want to print to. You can rename printers all you want. Install printers on the WSD Port wireless network would give the same result of having two copies of the printer is installed on the computer. One thing I see, is that the name of the HP Laserjet Printer is unusual. It seems that your printers may be using the built in Windows drivers, rather than the HP Full Feature driver package for the device. This may cause printing conflicts in the future. Can I please you follow the steps below to set up and install both LaserJet HP correctly.

    Step 1: Remove the drivers:

    It is crucial that your HP LaserJet are using the correct HP driver package. So I'll have you remove two copies of your HP Laserjet of the computer. Please make sure that the USB cables are connected.

Once this copy is a party, please right click on the HP Laserjet P1102w and select 'remove device' for this one as well. After have removed two copies of the Laserjet please close devices and printers.
    4. Then, on the Start screen type programs and features. Click on programs and features to launch the window
    5. Scroll the list of programs and find the HP Laserjet driver package. If you see the HP Laserjet printers select Uninstall. Please follow the prompts on the screen to complete the uninstallation. Once the uninstall is complete, please close programs and features and continue to the next step.

    Step 2: Remove temporary files:

    1. Open the screen, Start by selecting the Windows icon at the bottom left of the computer screen or by selecting the Windows key bottom left of the keyboard, to the right of the Ctrl key
    2. In the start screen, type run. Click on Run to launch the run dialogue box
    3. In the run box, type %temp% , and then click OK
    4. When the Temp folder opens, select Ctrl + A at the same time on your keyboard. Everything in this folder will highlight now.
    5. Select the "delete" button on your keyboard. The Temp folder contains the temporary internet files. None of the actual files or folders on your computer will be affected by deleting Temp files. A Temp file should you will automatically get the pop up to 'jump' this point.
    6. Close the Temp folder when it is empty
    7. Right-click the recycling bin on your desktop and select empty recycling bin. Please proceed to the next step.

    Step 3: Install devices:

    1. Please leave unplugged USB cables

    2. Please click here to download the package full feature software and driver for the HP Laserjet Printer

    3. when the download is complete, please follow the instructions on the screen to install the first Laserjet. Make sure you select the 'install the printer software ' tab connect the USB cable only when the installation window prompts to.

    4. Once installation is complete for the first printer, please open the Start screen and type devices and printers.

    5. once the devices and printers opens, you will see the first copy you installed HP Laserjet. Please right click on the HP Laserjet Printer , and then select printer properties

    6. under printer properties , you will see the name of the printer on the general tab at the top. Please rename the printer to something that the customer acknowledges that this first printer. Then click on apply and then OK to save the changes.

    7. close devices and printers

    8 open the Start screen again. This time, type run. Click on Run to launch the run dialogue box.

    9. in the run box type %temp% , and then click OK. The Temp folder is now open

    10. in the Temp folder to locate the 7z... file. Click this folder to open it. This is the HP Installer package for HP Laserjet printers. Scroll to the bottom of this file and double left click on the P1100_P1560_P1600.exe driver package. The installation program will now open.

    11. in the title of the installation window, select "Add another printer. Don't connect not the USB at the moment. Click Next.

    12 connect the USB cable for the second printer once the installation window invites you to. After the second installation, please open the Start screen.

  • WIN free!) has failed 3 times and I can not understand how to fix the problem

    Free install of WIN 10 offered at least 3 times. It is impossible to install 3 times. I have no cd or dvd, just a long, stretched download - I'm too stupid to follow the advice given by MS

    Task of pre-required

    When you make significant changes to your computer for example updated operating system, you must always back up. See the links to resources on the backup by clicking the link for each version of Windows you are using: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1

    then

    • Turn off (preferably uninstall) your Antivirus utility before you perform the upgrade.
    • Reboot several times and try again.
    • Disable the general USB peripherals (for example - smart card reader).
    • If you are using a SCSI drive, make sure you have the drivers available for your storage on a thumdrive device and it is connected. During the installation of Windows 10, click on the advanced custom Option and use the command load driver to load the driver for the SCSI drive. If this does not work and the installer still fails, consider switching to an IDE based hard drive.
    • Do a clean boot, and then try again.
    • If you upgrade to the. ISO file, disconnect from the Internet during the installation, if you are connected in LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, disable both and try the installation again.
    • If you update via Windows Update, when download reaches 100%, disconnect the Internet LAN (Ethernet) or wireless, and proceed with the installation.
    • If this does not work, try using the. ISO file to upgrade if possible.
    • If you are connected to a domain, go to a local account
    • If you have an external equipment, attached to the machine, unplug them (example, game controllers, USB sticks, external hard drive, printers, peripherals not essential).
  • HP printer device manager! Symbol, "failed to connect" Windows Sound - still Printer Works

    Every time you start, I hear the sound of the device "Windows failed to connect.  How can I get rid of this?

    I have a printer HP of J6480 with WIn 7.  Device Manager does not recognize the printer driver.

    In Device Manager, the printer appears with the! error symbol.  No other devices have an error symbol.  The HP Solution Center and the printer work again.

    (1) I tried install fresh of the current HP software full functionality.

    (2) I tried the HP uninstaller program, through all five uninstall programs twice.

    (3) I ran CCleaner to clear the registry problems.

    (4) I tried to delete the Device Manager "Officejet! Entry J6400 series.  The Solution and the printer Center then do not work.  Apparently, the Device Manager recognizes the printer but not the driver.  I have to go to 'Programs', 'HP', then 'Officejet J6400 Series' to reinstall the software.

    (5) I tried to get the Device Manager to recognize the software.  When I click on «!» OfficeJet 6400 series', I get the message "the drivers for this device are not installed (code 28).  If I then click on 'Update Driver' and select' Browse my computer for driver software"then click on"Browse "C:\Users\Myname\Downloads", where I have the Sofware HP 13.0 full feature software and basic print and Scan Driver files, he says "Windows cannot find driver software".   If I click on "Search automatically by the driver software", I get the same message.

    Friendlycomputr,

    OK, if a few things stood here:

    1 windows its "cannot connect device" sounds only with a direct connection, not a network connection which is what you have. (Ethernet)

    2. have you had any other device installed on this computer is more active?

    I would like you disconnect the Ethernet connection and go below:

    1. uninstalling the printer software

    2. make a restart on the computer, when it starts, do you hear the sound "device cannot connect?

  • Tecra A10 with Intel WiFi 5100 running Vista 32 bit fails to connect WiFi

    Hello

    a whole new Tecra A10 with buildin Intel 5100 WiFi fails to connect to the Wlan router, using the pre-installled Vista Business 32-bit. Vista has always said: wrong password.

    Yes, Wifi hardware is enabled, of course. And Tecra WiFi OK MAC is stored in the config of the router. Also the WiFi settings were correct (wpa2-psk aes), corresponding to the Wlan router. Password WPA2 is 13 characters. Connect all the other machines with a Wlan successfully turns a working Wlan configuration and use of the correct password.

    I installed the latest driver on the Toshiba site - without success. I also installed the version of the driver from the Intel site will, too--without success. Doesn't matter what tool I used to connect, Vista itself, or the specific tool of Toshiba (Radar), choice to get an encrypted Wlan connection.

    WPA2 and WPA or WEP can be used. I can't get a Wlan connection when encryption is totally * disabled *! Currently, I use a * clear * Wlan to use this Tecra A10 in the network. Real gross and no solution for more than a few days.

    All other devices in the same network can connect the router Wlan with WPA2-PSK and WEP, no problem. Only the A10 / WiFi 5100 fails.

    Searching the Web I found really many reports all issue of WiFi with a WiFi 5100 devices, so it seems to be a generic material or / and driver issue.

    How can I correct this Wifi 5100 connect problem and use encryption WPA2-psk on Tecra A10 and WiFi 5100 with Vista? If this is not possible, I have to return this laptop and get another model with a working Wifi / Wlan Hardware.

    Thank you.
    -Thomas

    Hello Thomas

    Have you tried to connect your laptop to another router by friends or elsewhere?
    It is really strange that you can use any of the WIFI ciphers available.
    Have you tried to reboot your router?

    I have Satellite A300-1LI with the same card, WLAN, preinstalled with Toshiba recovery WXP image and I use it sometimes linked to the WLAN with WEP encryption.
    Have you tried to contact Toshiba or your local dealer for advice?
