I am prompted to install the winhlp32.exe file while trying to connect to the printer.

I have windows vista on my laptop and I tried to plug in my printer (lexmart) and vista tells me that I have no HELP files to run the printer.
I went to the page to get the files (winhlp32.exe and he also told me validate vista, and when I do it says my computer is to old for this file.)
where can I find the files for winhlp32.exe
Thanks for any help you can send my way

  • You are prompted to install the security update even if the update is already installed

    I use a laptop which has downgraded from Vista Home to Windowx XP Pro w / SP2 (although maybe it's not relevant). Issues installing security updates through Windows Update before today have never known. I am prompted to install the update from a security XP KB956744, what I have done. I installed it through Windows Update and automatic command prompt directly. I even posted the update as something to ignore, but I am always prompted to install it. I also tried to uninstall the version on my machine, and then reinstall the update, but I am always prompted to install it.

    Two questions:
    1. because I received a prompt saying that it has been successfully installed and it appears in Add/Remove Programs, I can safely assume that it has been installed successfully even if I continue to prompt to install it?
    2. If my previous question is true, how can I window update to ignore this update even if I have already reported as such by the normal means?

    Thank you.

    Hi DTIRDT,
     
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft Forums.
     
    First, I suggest to install all updates manually by running the Windows updates and check if all updates are installed.
    Once installed try turn off the computer and check if you are always faced with the question, if so post back so that we can help you further.
     
    It is best to install the updates when the computer is running.

    I have trouble to install the printer HP laserjet P2055 on my windows 7 HP pavilion

    original title: installation problem

    Local printers

    To install a printer, the most common method is to connect directly to your computer. This is known as a local printer.

    If your printer is a universal serial (USB) bus model, Windows should automatically detect and install it when you plug it in.

    If it is an older model that connects using the serial or parallel, you may need to install manually.

    To install the printer (add) a local

    1. Click to open devices and printers.

    2. Click Add a printer.

    3. In the Add Printer Wizard, click Add a local printer.

    4. Choose a printer port page, make sure you use a button existing port and the recommended printer port are selected and then click Next.

    5. On the installation of the printer driver page, select the model and manufacturer of the printer, and then click Next.

      • If your printer is not listed, click Windows Update, and then wait while Windows searches for drivers additional.

      • If none is available and you have the installation CD, click disk, and then navigate to the folder where the printer driver. (For additional guidance, see the printer manual.)

    6. Perform the steps in the wizard and then click Finish.

      Tips

      • You can print a test page to make sure that the printer is working correctly. See print a test page.

      • If you have installed the printer, but it does not work, check the Web site of the manufacturer for troubleshooting driver or updated information.

    My printer does not print.

    It is a difficult problem to diagnose because there are many printers on the market and many reasons why it could not work.

    First of all, make sure that your printer is turned on and connected to your Windows computer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

    Then, try the printer troubleshooter, which will attempt to diagnose and solve your problem automatically.

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    Open the printer Troubleshooter by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under hardware and sound, click on use printer.

    Then, try to update the printer driver on your computer. Sometimes printer problems come from out-of-date driver software, and can be solved by installing or reinstalling, the latest driver.

    To find the latest driver for your printer, first check Windows Update, which is designed to detect the hardware connected to your computer and automatically notify you when new drivers are available:

    1. Click to open Windows Update.

    2. In the left pane, click search for updates, and then wait while Windows searches the latest updates for your computer.

    3. If updates are found, click install updates. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    If you do not see a listed updated printer driver, it is always possible that there are: your printer manufacturer might not have provided to Microsoft yet.

    Most printer manufacturers offer updated drivers on the sections of the support of their Web sites. Drivers are typically organized by edition and Windows printing model. When you have found the right driver, install it according to the instructions of the manufacturer. For more information, see update a hardware driver that is not working properly.

    If your printer still does not work, see the support section of the website of the manufacturer of your printer for model-specific troubleshooting tips.
