Help! Windows 8 will not let me use my hp printer!

I got a new laptop with windows 8, the laptop is great, but I can't use my printer with it! The program for my printer is only compatible with windows 2000, XP, Vista &. When I got my computer I gave it to the Geek Squad, who told me to try the hp site to install a program that is compatible with my printer and the computer. I really hope to get help!

It is a .exe file. The first couple of times that I opened it, he asked what app I wanted to use to open it. When I jumped, I was able to download the driver and have been printing since then. Thank you for your response. The question is resolved.

And btw, I hate Windows 8.

  • "Windows 7 will not let iTunes 11 Internet access."

    I am using Windows 7 32 bit on a laptop computer with ZoneAlarm free firewall/antivirus and Firefox 17.0.1 browser (do not use IE 8 and IE 9 will not even load, so crazy that).  I had no problems with iTunes, Internet access until about two or three Windows updates there, when I was still with iTunes 10.x, I thought that maybe an update to iTunes was in order, so I did and updated to iTunes 11.  That didn't connect to the internet, so I deleted, close ZoneAlarm and reinstalled iTunes.  Still no Internet access even if I have an active Internet connection.  I ran the diagnostic iTunes and found this Windows Firewall - which * he * stop when running ZoneAlarm - does not allow iTunes outgoing access, so I fixed.  Still nothing and it is with the browser able to connect to the network, so I don't know Internet access in itself is not the problem.  I have so stop and you exit ZoneAlarm. still nothing.  Verified that welcomed iTunes Windows Firewall outgoing; It does (in theory; at least she said it does), but STILL nothing!

    It's stupid, because iTunes worked fine until recently.  Is there something other past here between Windows 7 and iTunes I should know about?  Help!

  • Windows vista will not let upgrade me to windows 7

    had a new hard drive installed on my pc. recovered to the factory specifications and reinstalled PC windows7 home premium.  had worse transtering the backup data.  so I got the pc again, but this time it will not be upgraded because must be running Vista Home Basic sp1.  so I installed the service with some difficulty, but the message indicates that sp1 was intstalled successfully and vista won't upgrade.

    Perform a custom installation of Windwos 7 on Windows Vista:

    Boot from the Windows 7 DVD
    Click Install now
    Accept the license agreement
    When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

    Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 7 click Next.

    You will receive the following warning:

    The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.

    (At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK

    The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.

    Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.

    You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

  • Windows 8 will not let me move the AppData\Local folder to new drive

    All,

    I wanted to get my user account files from C drive which is a smaller SSD drive at most of my hard drive. I encountered several problems.

    A lot of trial and error, I was able to move each file of folder of the user account to an identical structure on my drive D (a "spinner"). Once I worked on all the kinks, everything worked without problems.

    However, I was unable to move the hidden AppData folder. I discovered there are three subfolders: roaming local and LocalLow. I was able to move LocalLow and roaming without problem. However, Local gave me problems.

    I discovered that the Local had some folders and files under it for which I have no permissions. Once I gained permissions for them, I thought I was on my way. The command to move the folder (using the Properties dialog box) has started working on the transition of 79 000 files. He moved all but 19 of them. He choked on all 12-15 files that have been opened and used by the system and the balance of the 19 had too long of a file name. So, I was disappointed.

    I then decided to create another administrator account and the sign of the current account and connect to the temporary administrator account that I had just created. I thought that I could then move the files because they would not be opened and used by the system. But, when I open the Properties dialog box, the LOCATION tab was gone, so I could not move the files.

    I need answers to two questions:

    • Why Microsoft would give the user a LOCATION tab with a NAVIGATION button, if it was impossible to move the AppData\Local folder?
    • Is there another way that a layman like me can change this setting? Can someone direct me to here? (Such as it is, 2 of the 3 AppData files are on drive D and 1 is always the SSD C drive.)

    Thank you.

    Matt

    OK, I fixed using a symbolic link. I moved my complete record of users. Here are the steps I used:

    • Create a folder on the "C" drive, called "this_is_c" and create a folder on the disk "D", called "this_is_d" - it is only for identification purposes in the later stages.
    • Boot from the Windows 8 Pro disc. (In other words, will not start hard drive.)
    • Do not choose 'Install now' - choose ' repair you computer.
    • Then choose troubleshooting
    • Choose Advanced Options
    • Then choose command line
    • The player that appears corresponds to the player 'X' - which is the recovery disk.
    • Type "C:" to switch to the 'C' drive
    • Type "Dir" and see if you see the folder "this_is_c".
    • If you do not, continue to change letters until you see this folder.
    • It worked that the 'C' drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my 'C' drive when I boot normally.
    • Find the "D" drive through the same process - that is, try to find the folder "this_is_d".
    • It worked that the "D" drive during this "repair" was maybe the same as my "D" drive when I boot normally.
    • Type this command: xcopy/e/k/o/h/b c:\Users d:\Users see the next chip
    • First drive name must be the name of the drive as the "repair" attributed to your normal boot drive 'C '. The second disc should be burned as it would be during a normal boot. So, in my case, these conditions were the same. Note: use a capital 'U' for users instead of lowercase 'u' in users.
    • Type "D" when prompted.
    • Type the following command: rd /s c:\Users
    • Type this command: mklink /d c:\Users d:\Users
    • Type this command: exit
    • Continue to start.

    This will create a symbolic link that will redirect all actions to or from users on 'C' folder in the new folder users on "D". In regards to windows system knows, he is still sending the disk of 'C '. It is just redirected.

    This works perfectly for me. I installed apps and run programs without problem.

    It's a sort of understand. But it works for me.

  • Windows 8 will not let me sign

    When we try to connect to our users on our new PC accounts, told us our password is incorrect and if we go to account.live to reset (password).  We tried half a dozen times without success.  I can sign into my hotmail, but not my PC.  Looks like a lot of people have had this problem and we have tried everything we can find, but nothing works.  We can't even get help from microsoft.  does anyone have a solution we are missing?

    I'm Donna G, and I can tell you several things that could be the problem.

    1 Microsoft 8 is a windows I found is very picky and in my opinion, he is jealous of the love of other programs around it, like Explorer 8 because he got more attention and acted up like a small child. Perhaps, if you name your computer while I'm telling you, I named my 1st computer George and used more.

    2. maybe for windows 8, you must write the things he does wrong and things it's just, of course please mention to windows 8 what you are doing and why, cause he knows what you type and if it is wrong to tell him it's o. k. to injure themselves because they don't want * it off right , ?

    3 tell how badly you're going to shoot some of its problems and you might or might not find what the problems are and if you don't find it has all the problems that you're going to ask Mr. Microsoft that you did and you could not know what there problem is. I'm sure Mr. Microsoft could diagnose.

    4. you say windows 8 you will name your computer and that you love it.

    I'm not real - you inthat definitively described - but if you're running Windows XP and get access denied to a file/folder - it's an easy thing to fix.  They even wrote an Article in the Knowledge Base on this subject...

    2. click on programs and features.

    3. click on or turn off Windows features turn on on the left pane.
