Go to a prompt of commands and typing DIR > LPT1 gives an access is denied error

original title: BACK print does not work

I have also 2 new Windows 7 Professional computers on a network with a Windows XP on the network.  I have a shared printer connected to a Windows 7 boxes and it prints well locally via the command prompt.  The other Windows 7 machine can also print to the shared printer, but only via a Windows application.  Go to a prompt of commands and typing DIR > LPT1 gives an access denied error.  Type the same thing at the prompt for the Windows XP computer actually works well, that is, it prints to this shared printer.  What is the problem?

Try to open the elevated command prompt:

  • Click Start.
  • Type the three letters cmd into the search box.
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  • Click on "Run as Administrator".

  • c:\Documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied

    Even if my user account appears under my being the administrator, it is still not allow me access to my documents and settings files.  It is said to "c:\documents and settings is not accessible. Access is denied. "When I came to my computer, I know I opened at least two accounts, both with full administrator access, and yet the account opens is called"Judy"which is my name and at the same time, I'm sure to set up he asked me who has computer it was, so I wrote my name, but when I connect to my computer the account that opens is called"Judy"that even if I never named an account, it is still the only account he allows me to open. When I go to the command prompt to change user names, the screen goes black, and this same account "Judy" appears towards the top and asks for my password.  Simply, it will not show two accounts that I actually put in place.  I followed the instructions from the answer to someone else who has had a similar problem and he showed how you can determine if the account you are using is a standard or administrative account.  I did what told him to do and he came that Judy was indeed an administrator account. I was also able to show the names of all accounts on this computer and stood in the two accounts I made, of which none were called Judy, so I know that these accounts are in there, somewhere and why they are not listed when I ask to change user accounts is a mystery to me.  I've been going around in circles with this.  Everybody out there familiar with this kind of madness?  Any help is appreciated.

    Documents and Settings is not a real file in Windows 7. It is a junction which is configured to allow existing programs to interface with the Windows 7 folder structure.

    Instead, Windows 7 uses these files:

    C:\Users\*your User Name * \My Documents

    and

    Username C:\Users\*Your * \Appdata

    (appdata is a hidden folder)

    Look in C:\Users to see which accounts exist.

    Also you can access the control panel > user accounts to edit.

  • How can I install Command and Conquer: Red Alert (Windows 95) on Windows 7?

    Hello!  I tried to install Command and Conquer on my new computer that is running Windows 7, but it not even will let me install it, much less play.  I insert the disc, click on 'Install Red Alert' and it gives me a progress bar indicating "Preparing Install Wizard" then the page install red alert rises, but a windows message said "this game is intended to be run from Windows 95." Whethee I click the X or 'OK' it just cancel the whole process.

    I searched the database "Help and Support" (from the start menu of windows 7) "Installation old games.  I clikced on the result "make older programs run in this version of windows" from there, I clicked on the link to open the document "program Compatability Troubleshooter."  The program I want to run (red alert) did not appear, so I clicked "unregistered". It prompted me to enter the location of the file, so I typed in the location "" E:\setup95\SETUP. "» EXE"was from there, I clicked on the"Try recommended settings"as my troubleshooting option. He gave me the "Compatibility of the test settings" page, so I clicked on the button "Start the program" (at this point, the default compatibility selection is Windows XP). From there on, a 'user account control' shield appears, so I type my user name and password.  The same thing happens as before: preparing to install the shield, and then cancel it.  So from there I click 'next' on the compatibility of the program window.  He said "Troubleshooting is complete, is solved the problem?  I say, "No test using different settings."  This gives 4 options to select, and one applies, so I will select "the program worked in earlier versions of windows but won't install or run now."  Then it takes me to a list where I can choose windows 95 and one host of others.  I selcet Windows 95 and click Next.  I was excited, but exactly the same thing happened as when I tried with the XP settings applied.  I give myself a user account control screen, I type the name and the password, but the same thing happens.  'Windows 6.1 is running.  It is a single product from windows 95. "And then I have to close it.   Any suggestions?

    Hi xPEZZx,

    What version of Command and Conquer you trying to install?

    Follow the link to the Windows 7 Compatibility Center that provides information on the different versions of the game.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?type=software&s=command%20and%20Conquer%20red%20alert

    You can try to copy the configuration file for the game on your computer and so it works in compatibility mode and check if that helps. Execution of convenience store compatibility is just a workaround solution, if this does not help, you might need go to the new version of the game.

    You can also contact the Publisher of the game and check if they can help you in the installation.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • touch screen works is not to a few areas and typing randomly

    The touchscreen does not work in specific areas of the screen. and also it behaves erratically, opening, closing and switching applications and typing randomly on its own... sometimes the home button also stops working.

    The problem started with "ghost typing" and automatic switching of applications. and recently to the touch in some places on the screen also stopped working...

    I do not have a centered around Apple care, so I thought to get certain points of view on this problem before relying completely on the local repair store guy...

    You have coverage on the iPad that can interfere with the screen?  I've seen other shadow report type and it turns out being the hardware issues, but try some basic troubleshooting steps. Close all applications and the strength to restart the device first.

    Close all applications. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Drag to the left to find the application you want to close. Swipe up on the preview of the application to close.

    Now restart of strength. To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

    If this difference, try this. Reset all the settings. You won't lose any data, but all the parameters of the device will have to be entered again in the settings app. This includes the WiFi password. Settings > general > reset > reset all settings.

  • Satellite series A turn off for the game Command and Conquer 3

    Hi all

    This happened to me twice. While I was relax play skirmish Command and Conquer 3, computer laptop turns off suddenly. I was running an external power supply and the battery was full. What is even more strange, it was impossible to next turn to the until I removed the battery and plugged in.

    I bought this game around March and was able to beat the 3 campaigns without these attractions.
    I suspect that this may be caused by overheating, because after the laptop is pretty hot. What do you think? I bought it in January.

    In my Office I occasionally removed the fan and radiator vacuum, there accumulates a lot of dust sometimes. It is not easy in the case of laptops. Any suggestions? See you soon.

    Hello

    You should do a bios update, because I had a similar problem with my A100 and after updating the bios to the version the most recent (5.60) I had no problem more. Maybe it helps.
    The other thing is, if you have a ventilation system which is clobbed with dust, then you should take a container with compressed air (you can get it in every electronic market/store) and gently lead some air to breath through the ventilation holes. (like 2 seconds. Wait, then wait 2 seconds and so on; just make short sounds :))
    Then, ventilation must be clear.
    Otherwise bring your machine to a service partner for a checkup of material because some loose cables inside the machine could probably be a reason that the machine feeds not correctly on...

  • Command and Conquer Zero Hour does not

    There's this game: Command and Conquer Zero Hour

    He used to work on windows XP but now on windows 7, it does not work I do not know why...?

    This is the same version that worked on XP...

    I FOUND THIS POSTED BY SOME GENIUS CALLED DARKRAJIN AND IT WORKS ON THE GENERALS AND THE GENERALS ZERO HOUR

    This I found on another page and thought I'd share it here as long as it worked for me.

    I have a core i5 laptop running windows 7 Home premium 64-bit with an ATI graphics card and I had exactly the same problems to make C & C Generals and zero hour to work.

    Good news - just managed managed to make it work, and it IS Windows 7 that causes the problem, specifically, it is to do with permissions to access the folders - Windows 7 blocks access to the folders that uses General to run.

    The way I fixed it was:

    In 'My Documents' (usually to the C:\users\YOURNAME\documents), there should be a folder named "Command and Conquer Generals data" or "Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour data", which was put there when you installed the game.  You must create a text file in Notepad, and then save it in that folder.  However, you need to click on ' Save as ' and change the drop-down list box as text (.txt) file type to "all files".  Then save the file as "options.ini."

    Before you register, paste this text into the file to start:

    Anti-aliasing = 1
    BuildingOcclusion = yes
    DrawScrollAnchor =
    DynamicLOD = no
    ExtraAnimations = yes
    GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
    Gamma = 50
    IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
    IdealStaticGameLOD = high
    LanguageFilter = true
    MaxParticleCount = 5000
    MoveScrollAnchor =
    MusicVolume = 55
    Resolution = 1024 768
    Retaliation = yes
    SFX3DVolume = 79
    SFXVolume = 71
    ScrollFactor = 50
    SendDelay = no
    ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
    ShowTrees = yes
    StaticGameLOD = custom
    TextureReduction = 0
    UseAlternateMouse = no
    UseCloudMap = yes
    UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
    UseLightMap = yes
    UseShadowDecals = yes
    UseShadowVolumes = yes
    VoiceVolume = 100

    It's just how the game remembers what options you chose (the music volume, brightness and others) and you can change them once the game is running using the menu options.

    Now the bits of the key - first, make sure you have full read/write permissions for the folder Command and Conquer Generals data: to do this right click on the file, then properties then the Security tab and change the permissions for all users.  It could also be useful in making sure that no file is 'Read only' in this folder.

    Change the compatibility mode of the game by right-clicking on the game in the start menu, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab.  I used the "Change settings for all users" button down and changed to Windows XP (SP3), as well as to check the "run as Administrator box".

    Hey Presto! It worked, demystify the myth according to which C & C Generals will not work on 64 bit systems (as some people have said).  In all honesty, I have not tried online multiplayer yet, a few skirmishes.

    Good luck!
