• Deskjet 6988 printer to wireless network (laptop Envy w / Windows 8.1)

  I got my printer HP Deskjet 6988 years and still it was connected to my desktop via a USB 2.0 cable. I bought a laptop HP Envy with Windows 8.1 and want to connect the printer through my servant/Belkin router network, as the USB 2.0 cable provided with the printer does not seem to work in the USB ports of the desire for direct printing. The software disk did not work in the laptop, so I downloaded the software and utility software (printing and scanning) to 8.1 on the HP site.

  I ran the download, the installation wizard has started, said "the wizard will connect to the internet and help install the best software available for your printer." I clicked on next, and opens a window "Device discovery" and then an another "recovering the device" then... nothing.  The wizard window closes. My installation manual is useless. It tells me to use the wizard on the software disk that does not work on my laptop (and is obsolete and for the operating system still wrong, because it was for my office, which took place on VIsta.)

  I somehow managed to get the printer installed on the laptop - I can see it under the available printers.  And if I have an ethernet cable connected directly from the printer to my router, it will print. But if I unplug the ethernet cable, it will not print. I can't keep the ethernet cable is connected for printing, because the router is in my living room, behind the TV and my office is on the floor. I prefer not to keep my printer on the floor of the living room by our TV, so I really need to work wireless!

  My problem is how to make the printer added to my network (Belkin router) servant. The wireless router is all set up and functional - I use actually it from now to access the internet and to post this message.

  So, my printer is installed on my laptop. The driver is the most recent, intalled today HP.com and I don't have a software disc to use for a Setup Wizard.

  What are the next steps to connect my printer on the network, so I can print wireless? If all goes well, I gave enough information. I have read all sections of the HP.com customer help on service and none of them seem to tell me what to do.

  Thank you!

  By a lot of trial and error, I actually thought about it myself. I did a lot of jumping around, so I hope that I can remember what I did:

  (1) install the printer driver using the diskette or download.

  (2) connect the printer to the router by an ethernet cable, which looks like a big phone cord (no need to connect the printer to your laptop).
  3) implement the system of the laptop 'search' on your laptop and in search type "Network" and then click on the 'Network' link to open it.

  (4) you should see the icon for the printer on your computers and other devices already present on the network.

  (5) double click/tap on the icon of the printer and it will open 'web page' the printer in your browser.

  (6) click / tap the 'Network' tab near the top of the scren.

  (7) in the left sidebar, under 'Connections', click 'Wireless' to open it.

  (8) start and use the wizard to enter your router information. (You must specify the printer a different name here, so you can distinguish it from all other printers on your laptop.) For example, I named mine "Deskjet" 6988 Network)

  (9) unplug the power cord of the printer ethernet.

  (10) If your wireless printer does not appear in the list of printers when you go to print something, you'll need to add:

  11) open looking for new portable computer system and type "Devices and printers" and click / tap on the link.

  12) click on the link "Add a printer" upward. The computer will search for printers and the new network printer should appear in the list (hint: he wil have an IP address in the 'Address' column rather than a file.)

  (13) add the network printer and run the test to ensure that it works. Make your default printer and may delete all other 6988 printers listed if you want to.

  (14) you should now see your network printer in the printer list when you go to print something.

  I hope this helps someone else someday!

• HP Envy m4 Windows 8 do not sleep and wake properly

  I recently got a HP Envy with Windows 8 m4, and every time I try to sleep, he never goes in mode 'sleep'. I'm assuming, since fans are always running up and the power light is still on (not flashing). If I try to wake him up, he doesn't. I tried pressing the power button, by clicking on the mouse and trackpad and typing on the keyboard. I tried to change the settings of the Control Panel, but nothing seems to work. Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey yal! So, I don't know when it happened, but the problem is solved. I think that there is an update at some point, but I still am Kapersky and am able to sleep and hibernation.

• I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I rebooted, restored, ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, uninstall/install update etc...

  I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

  Sincerely,
  A client who is a loss for words.
  Here are some problems in no particular order.
  1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
  The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
  3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
  Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
  5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
  6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
  7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
  8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
   

  The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

• How to set the password to protect the network, Windows XP Home Edition

  Another PC can directly access my computer on the Windows network, so I want to set a password to protect my computer.

  There are two basic methods to connect to a computer through a network.

  The first is through Remote Desktop connection.  This method requires that a user connect as if they were sitting in front of the computer.  So simply assign a password for each user in the user Panel must control this access road.  If I remember correctly, Remote Desktop connections cannot do XP Home computers, so this may not apply to you.

  The second is through the sharing of files on the network.  With XP Home (forced Simple File Sharing), each connection sharing file valid as long as the user "guest".  So to control this access, you must assign a password for the Guest user.

• "the password is incorrect" after using Windows 7 Easy Transfer

  The problem is that the 'password is incorrect' after using Windows 7 Easy Transfer.

  I've already studied this problem on the Internet and in online forums.  A lot of people seems to have the same question/problem/question.  Noone has a solution.  Several members of the staff of Microsoft technical support provided responses which do not solve the problem, explain what is happening, or were intended to solve the problem of evil.  For example, many responses were that political Microsoft does not provide assistance when retrieving passwords.  OK, but this isn't what is asked for.  There is a problem and it would be good if someone has recognized that there is a problem and - at least - it is being researched if there is not already a solution.  Anyway, as many have already asked, here is my point of view trying to find a solution to this problem:

  Used Windows 7 Easy Transfer to move user accounts and files between an old 32 bit Vista PC to a new PC 64 bit Windows 7. The transfer was made on a network without using an easy transfer cable. There is no errors during the transfer and user accounts on PC Windows 7 seem to be transferred correctly. Once connected to a user account on the new PC, opens a window titled 'Migration of protected content'. Text indicates that the protected content is transferred and request a password to be entered in a password field. I entered the PC Vista user account password, but the password was not accepted, and this error message is printed "the password is incorrect". All the transferred accounts had exactly the same problem, even if the original Vista PC account password has been entered correctly.

  Studied this problem on the Internet and a suggestion to solve the problem is that the password requested is the STEM of simple transfer is used to start the transfer. I have re-transferred from user accounts and entered to the STEM of easy transfer when windows 'Protected content Migration' asked a password. Always to receive the same error message "password is incorrect" on all user accounts.

  You will need to determine what password is requested. In my view, it should be the original account on the old computer password, but perhaps the easy transfer ROD. If it is not what should it be? If it's neither of the two, which? If it's the original on the old computer account password or easy transfer ROD, why aren't these being accepted because I tried them both. Once the correct password is available, is it possible to open the window of 'Protected content Migration' to enter the password without having to use Easy Transfer to transfer the accounts?

  Finally, what is the protected content that is transferred? How will I know what it is?  It doesn't seem to be something missing in the accounts of user who is easily visible by me. If the protected content is not necessary then not being is not able to access may not be a problem. Because I don't know what content is protected, I have no way to assess if not available is important.

  Pegasus,

  What password? The Windows logon password? Yes

  Have you tried to log on as an administrator? Yes

  Or using your database password key USB key file? No, but why?  I know what are all passwords logon and they seized everything correctly.  Again, the question that must be answered - by someone who knows - what password is asked?  Why are all the suggestions "try this or try that."  Nobody seems to be able to tell which password is requested or why.  What is the protected content that is transferred.  I don't think that there is nothing like DRM content on the original system.  Why this request appears?  Anyone know?

• I don't remember my password for my computer laptop windows 7

  I forgot my password on my computer laptop windows 7. It is a small laptop, so there isn't a disc compartment. I can't buy a floppy disk or a usb at the moment flash drive either. I was hoping there is a way to recover or change my password?

  No, the only way to recovery will involve your booting from the Windows installation disc * [this can be done on a 4 GB USB DRIVE, but you would need access to another PC to make].  The only other way would be to restore the factory settings

  If you have an existing 4 GB USB, you can save the files to somewhere else and then perform the recovery and then reformat the USB key to put your old files on it when you are finished.

  [* If you have an optical drive, you could do a disc repair system instead.]  If you know someone who has Windows 7 (32 bit, I guess that, in your case - it must be the same as yours) so that he could do a disk system repair & transfer it on a USB key which must only be 406MB or maybe a little less.  The instructions for this are also in the link below.]

  If get you your hands on a USB and then see the instructions of the guide to recovering lost password Windows 7 Home Premium account user, can't connect, connection problem

  Him begins the article with some basic steps you can take and then work upwards through more complicated methods where the easiest do not solve the problem. Please read the intro, but I think it will be the 8 method which solves your problem. Follow the precautionary measures later in the thread as well.

  You could be up & running again within an hour, probably less.

• WiFi password is too long for Windows 8

  Windows 8, I cannot enter my password wifi complete on my new lenovo yoga. My password is 26 characters and windows 8 will not allow me to enter the last characters actually cut me my wifi. I don't understand why this is happening. Any answer other than to change the password, would be useful.

  Hello

  1. why you want to keep your so long of the password of WiFi (26 characters)?

  2. you are bothered about securing your Wi - Fi connection?

  Minimum password length to at least a value of 8. If the number of characters is set to 0, no password is required. In most environments, a password of eight characters is recommended as it is long enough to provide adequate security still short enough for users to easily remember. This value will provide an adequate defence against a brute force attack. Adding to the complexity requirements will reduce the possibility of a dictionary attack. For more details on the same, see these articles:
