Driver files that run the parallel port and USB port

In the system information utility where to look to find the parallel port and the port driver USB, name of file that manages these?

Know the drivers specific, is only half the story.  Why you looking for these drivers?  You have problems with your parallel port or USB port?  This can be caused by problems with drivers or it could be a hardware problem (hard to diagnose a hardware problem without good parts to swap and test).  If you need to update the drivers, you must use device (not msinfo32) Manager - or maybe clicking on an executable file that loads the drivers automatically (depends on how it is sent by download).

Go to the Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need drivers (I assume that you want to the parallel port and USB ports), get the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.  Or run the Setup program of driver provided by the vendor of the computer or the manufacturer of the device.  Be VERY careful get Vista compatible drivers for these devices are difficult to identify (they usually come with the numbers of model or something like that if they can have serial numbers) and using the wrong drivers could make the problem (whatever that is) worse.

If you update the drivers succerssfully and the problem persists, then it is probably a hardware problem.  In this case, contact the manufacturer of your computer for technical support (hopeully it is still under warranty) or bring it to a professional computer repairman (NOT Geek Squad or one of those big store centers because they don't really know what they're doing and charge a lot for this level of expertise) to have the components tested and possibly replaced.

I hlpe that aid.

Good luck! Lorien - MCSA/MCSE/network + / A +.

  • If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files?

    If I put all my files on the C drive that has the operating system and make a recovery of keys one, will I lose my files? drive C whereas the partition that has the operating system and drive D is the lenovo drive that has all the drivers lenovo and all those. Did I lose my files?

    Yes, the collection clears all of the C drive and you will lose your files. The solution would be to backup regularly to an external HARD drive and after the key one to also restore the files from the external hard drive.

    This has been answered before, if you do a search for "key recovery" it appears among the first results.

  • The use of pins of status (4 outputs) and data (8 entries) of the parallel port pins at the same time.

    Hi all

    I'm a newbee in labview. As part of my project work, I need to get 8 digital inputs and send 4 digital outputs.so I think to use the Parallel Port on the pc.i can make use of 8 datalines for entries. I found the site NOR is it possible to use status for output pins. But is it possible to use status for output pins pins and data for entries to the time.please help even me also mention of the measures to take, or keep in mind while implementing.also include any example vi that could be useful.

    Thanks in advance

    I would recommed you to NOT use the parallel port. Now a day you have hardly a PC with parallel port. also if you have some old PC then most likely last version of LabVIEW (e.g. 2010) will need a lot more memory RAM and processor.

    If you want a solution very very low cost then I would recommend using an arduino to that effect. You can then download LabVIEW Interface for Arduino and start working.

    If you continue to use the parallel port, then you could try (I haven't worked with parallel port and have not tested the following solutions)

    Download VIPM and then install the enclosed package. It will add the port e/s palette in your labview. and you can use it.

    I try to run the security essentials, and he tells me that I'm missing msvcp90.dll. Same problem occurring with a real player has not re - install. How can I recover file?

    Hi BradleyMitchell,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 when was the last time it was working fine?

    3. what version of Real player installed on the computer?

    Msvcp90.dll error can be caused if the Visual C++ Library Runtime components are missing or corrupt on the computer.

    Method 1

    I suggest that scan you SFC on the computer that would be a system file corrupt on the computer search and replace.

    The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows XP installation CD.

    If the previous step fails, then install the Package redistributable Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 and check if it helps.

  • Using the Parallel Port

    Windows does not allow for QBASIC uses the parallel port (address = 888 or 378 h)

    If you know the 3rd party software that there access to this port it please tell me

    and why user port does not work with windows vista

    Most any version of Windows that is based on the new testament 'sources' (Windows NT, 2000, XP, Windows 7, Server 2003/2008) all do not support 'direct' access parallel ports / series. This is normal.  You may need to add a non-Microsoft Windows 'core' driver to allow this access.

  • Use of the parallel port

    Hello

    I have a lot of experience with earlier versions of Dasylab (up to V9) and recall his ability to use the parallel port of PC as a "quick & easy" way to get digital input/output lines of the PC. If my memory serves me well, done by activating the sound card driver?

    However, I recently bought the latest version (V13) and it seems the digital input / output modules are now grayed out when the sound card driver is selected, i.e., it only allows to input/output analog (audio).

    Is it still possible to drive this port with the latest digital lines... .or have I missed something?

    Thank you best regards &,.

    This feature has been removed a few versions ago. With the changes in Windows after XP, it became problematic.

    If you are still using XP with DASYLab 13 and will always have a parallel port, you can retrieve the V9 sound card driver and try it.

    If you need me to download it or email it to you (it is usually an illegal attachment), let me know by private message with your email address.

  • to detect the meter output via the parallel port

    I need to detect the meter count trigger, to perform an operation every time. I think passing the input signal pins (pins of status or control). The meter uses is omron H7EC.

    I lowered the voltage of 24 V to 5 v with resistors.

    But I can't get the entry via the parallel port.

    All the stems of my status are still high.

    What should I do, please help.

    In the parallel reading write loop.VI, the splash screen is attached.

    I suspect the entries on the parallel port pins have a resistance low pullup to 5V, so they tend to float high (logic 1).

    Try to add a 4 700 Ohm resistor between pins of entry and mass of the parallel port, see if it then reads down pulldown (logic 0). If so, then keep the resistance in place and connect the signal of 5V that you want to monitor at the entrance.

    Have you had a glance at this startup repair disk?

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  • Lets run the multilingual method and input of blackBerry Smartphones

    I've updated the 7.1 os and it took me to multilingual method and input. I had once managed a whole upward. in any case, it seemed now missing on the phone, and on the desktop PC does not show language. I did remove the OSI and reinstall, the the same problem. I want that it multilingual and other language input method. Any suggestion? Please take note.

    OK... that now makes sense... the automatic method detects your BB and the level of operating system installed, but is not able to download correctly what it needs from the Internet to continue. And the Red Star means that there is an update, he wants to offer you, but again he has trouble to download what suits him.

    So, what you need to do is to defeat the automatic method and force instead of things. The easiest way is, on a PC (you can not do on MAC):

    1) uninstall all the BB OS packages from your PC,

    (2) make sure you have the BB Desktop Software already installed

    (3) download and install to your PC, the BB OS package you want:

    • http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
    • If you want to just reload your current version, you can access your carriers download portal and get the same exact package you are already running
      • KB23393 How to check the model number and the version of the BlackBerry device software on a BlackBerry smartphone
    • But if you want to go for an update, you can see what your company has, or you can dig into all of the companies that support your specific model BB number and compare versions of each provision.
    • Also consider this information as you choose your BB OS package:
      • KB05305 Location of support for BlackBerry smartphones

    4) remove, on your PC, all copies of the SELLER. XML... There will be at least one and maybe 2, and they will be located in the same way or to (it changes based on your version of Windows) these files:

    • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
    • C:\Users\(your Windows username) \AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML

    (5) run the Desktop software and connect your BB

    If you chose to update your BB OS, then the software should immediately offer the bundle of BONES that you have installed on your PC, before you can do anything else. If, during the process, your BB votre BB a '507' error, simply unplug the power cord of the BB USB and reinsert it. do nothing else... This should allow the installation to continue.

    If you have chosen your BB exact same OS package that is already running on your BB, then you should be able to proceed with the installation language you want (assuming, based on the location of KB, you have installed the right BB OS package that includes the language of your choice).

    Do not forget to save.

    Good luck and let us know!
