host process no longer works and removes my default printer

Host process no longer works and removes my default printer.  I need to reinstall my printer software for vista down a few hours later.

Hello

-First check with the printer manufacturer for updated drivers and problems as well as their forums (if any).

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - click on - RUN AS ADMIN

If this did not help.

I would REBOOT and when the computer stabilizes after a few minutes, and then remove the printer.

Then REBOOT again and go through this troubleshooting and only after he re - install the
printer. Be sure to install the latest drivers.

    Hi dude

    To be honest I never encounter this error message on my two different notebooks of a graphics chip ATI but I searched a bit on the internet and it seems that this error would appear on different systems. Vista and Win 7
    It seems that he might appear on desktop or laptop PC so it's not easy to say why this happens, but I found a comment interesting in other forums

    _Someone wrote this: _
    + I have to solve this problem, use the following steps. +
    + Go to c:\ and right-click on users. Select Properties. On the general tab, look down to the hidden selection. If not, there is a box to tick in the box, place a check mark. Hit apply, select Yes to apply to all subdirectories. If you click ok, you may notice that he disappeared in the pane on the right, once it ends. It should always appear in the tree view on the left. Right click on it again. This time, remove the check mark and apply to all subdirectories. Once it's over, your files in the Users directory should reappear and Catalyst Control Center should function normally again. +

    problem deleting YTUploader.dll

    Someone has a problem with Fujifilm MyFinePix Studio where the process of update no longer works and advise to reinstall the software? If the software is uninstalled it cannot be completely removed because the file "YTUploader.dll" is still used by a program. All attempts to remove this file and the Fujifilm folder that contains the Program Files directory failed.

    Someone has any advice on how to get rid of this file?

    The general opinion of MyFinePix Studio is that he wrote very well and better to avoid, so I now use another Photo management Package.

  • My Flash Player no longer works and I have to download several that he twice daily. What's wrong?

    My Flash Player no longer works and I have to re - download many that he twice daily. What's wrong?

    I checked to see if it is on and it is always. I deleted temporary files. When I try to download it, I always get a message that I do not have enough privileges to complete the download. Then when I check, it still works very well!

    If you are in a corporate environment where you don't have administrator rights on the machine, you should have a chat with your friendly neighborhood computer guy; However, I'm guessing that this is not the case.

    If it's your home machine and you are an administrator, this is a good indication that the file system is damaged.  It is not really good news, I'm sorry.

    Let's start first of all, if you have something important on the machine, now is a great time to save somewhere.  Removable disk, web storage, no matter.  When the file system starts to get wobbly, he could simply be badly timed power outage or something, or it could be a first indication that your hard drive is going to bite the dust soon.  Having lost my fair share of readers, I recommend you to take the warning as a gift and make a backup.  Of this is way less painful than the alternative.

    Once your valuables are secure, and your seat is in position, locked and trained, will search for and fix something wrong with the file system.

    Check your hard disk for errors - Windows 7:

    https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/KB/2641432

    At this point, take the nuclear option and manually purge every bit of Flash Player in the system.

    (Note: these instructions are for Win7 and lower grades.)  "If you're in Win8 or later, we'll talk more before doing anything.)

    Perform a new installation of Flash Player on Windows:

    https://forums.Adobe.com/thread/928315

    My guess is that you will get to a stage that you can't achieve because you do not have the permissions to do so, even if you * have permission.

    If it's deleting a file, usually a utility like Unlocker will repair it for you, at which point, you can delete the file and complete uninstallation.  It was probably the damaged file.  If you couldn't clean it as admin, our installers have not been able to touch either.

    Unlocker - download reviews and free software - CNET Download.com

    If it is a registry key, you have bigger problems.  There are commercial third-party utilities that are supposed to do magic registry fixes, but Windows includes its own audit of the registry and repair tool which is already not fixing the issue.  I'll leave to you to experiment with those if you want, or if you just want to do a complete reinstallation of the operating system and applications.  Whatever it is, something's wrong with the underlying operating system.  Personally, I tend to be skeptical about the utility of spare parts, and if it has been a few years, you will probably be surprised to see how fast the machine after doing a fresh install of the OS.

    Hope that helps.
