I TRIED TO RE-INSTALL MY HP WIRELESS PRINTER AND IT WOULD NOT INSTALL. I HAVE RECEIVED AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT THE PRINT SPOOLER WAS NOT WORKING AND STOPPED. I have TRIED TO START THE PRINT SPOOLER AND FOUND what IT MISSING THE lexbces.exe FILE. I THINK THAT WHEN I UNINSTALLED THE HP PRINTER, HE WALKED OUT OF THIS FILE. IT IS IN THE SYSTEM 32 AND A FILE OF REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL. DOWNLOAD THIS FILE OR DO I HAVE TO RE-INSTALL WINDOWS XP?
Lexbces.exe is from Lexmark (or Dell-badged Lexmark) printer install. When the Lexmark printers are installed, they configure the print spooler to depend on Lexbces. Unfortunately, when you uninstall the software Lexmark, the uninstall program removes the file but does not have the print spooler dependency.
Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
Type the following line in the black command prompt window and press enterdependent on the spooler of sc config = RPCSS
Note that there is no space before the = but there is a space after it.
Restart the computer.
See the instructions on One Article to do a clean installation of your printer.
After the restart, you can check that the print spooler has started in several ways. One way is:
Open a command prompt window and type the following command, and then press ENTER:
spooler request SC
You should see the following in the command prompt window:
spooler request SC
Service_Name: Spooler

I downloaded Service Pack 3, and now my Disk Defragmenter does more
After that I downloaded the Service pack, I can not load Disk Defragmenter. The system restore was put there where there is no Checkpoint earlier when it has been installed. Help!
Hello
Do you currently or have you ever had a third-party disk defrag tool (such as Diskeeper, Auslogics, etc..) Installed and uninstalled then? Sometimes no will again put the original XP Defragmenter settings so you have to put yourself back in to re-record some DLL files.
To do this, click Start, run and in the box type each of the following lines one at a time, and click OK to run each of the commands one at a time:
regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll
regsvr32 dfrgui.dllWhen the process is completed for each DLL, you sign up, you should see a message similar to the following:
DllRegisterServer in
... Succeeded. It's good to register the dll, even if they are already registered.
For more information, see this link:

Willnot work downloaded service pack 3 and printer
I have not dated the service pack 3 update, and now my printer is not working. It indicates that the print spooler service is not running. It was working fine until I have up dated service pack 3 undate. What can I do to get my printer to work again.
Thank you
Michael
Start the print spooler service.
For Win XP - Click Start, select run, and type Services.msc
Look for print spooler - make sure it is running and automatic.
Reference only-
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/troubleshoot-printer-problems
A print spooler is software that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print. If you were expecting an abnormally long time to print a document, or if you see an error message about the print spooler, Spooler subsystem or spooler resources, you might need to change and then restart the print spooler service on your computer.
To do this, we recommend that you save your work and restart the computer to restart the print spooler service. If you do not want to restart the computer, try these steps.
To change or restart the print spooler serviceYou must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.
Open administrative tools by clicking the start , clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then Tools clickingAdministrative.
Double-click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
Right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.
On the general tab, next to startup type, make sure that thatAutomatic is selected.
If the service is not already running, under State Service, clickStart, and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

Mr President
I have windows 7, after creation of the solid color red & gray icon PDF files, but now the icon has changed to adobe acrobat 7 Professional logo, how do I re obtain the icon or the old logo for my PDF files as the previous icon is very easy to identify, also I used acrobat adobe 7 Professional but this problem was not there.
Hi manojp35249311,
Acrobat 7 is not compatible with Windows 7, so it's difficult to judge how the application on an incompatible environment will behave.
Please attach a screenshot so that we can diagnose the problem correctly.
Kind regards

A large number of menu selections is affected, including the 'computer management', 'Event Viewer', 'Services' and 'System Configuration'.
I tried to clean a computer that was thus invaded by unwanted applications and the services that it was unusable. I applied several sets of Windows updates until it has been fairly stable, then lightened through the Services application services, changing many services 'automatic' to 'enabled' or 'disabled '. I suspect that some service necessary for the performance of the foregoing has been inadvertently stopped. (None that he was '' strongly recommended '' or '' recommended '' do not turn off or the description seemed to make a requirement, but...) I don't know how to confirm this theory, identify the missing service or reactivate a service without the Services application.I got lucky. I called a local, independent computer store. Their support staff (after confirming that I had an appropriate Windows license) told me that if the computer came with a disk for Installation of Windows Vista, there is probably a partition to start installation on the hard disk, I could get to with a special touch at the beginning of the start-up phase of the BIOS. It flashed by so quickly that I missed my chance, so I put off the power while trying to boot Windows. On my next attempt, I missed again (even if I managed to spot the key combination - F11). But when he arrived at the start-up phase of Windows, he offered me a chance to run the system restore which was banned when I was logged in with an administrator account. I had to go back a ways, but I found one who would start and was able to complete cleaning of the machine and make it to a usable state.
Thanks to all who responded.
Oh, and it seems (according to my conversation with the service of the local computer store) that my fatal mistake was by disabling the service allowing you to promote its own security. Apparently an administrator account is not the rights needed to perform most administrative functions without it; If disabling the service gets you into a nearly unrecoverable state. A hint of that in the description of the service, or even a total ban on deactivation, would be a good idea.

How can I delete the previous configuration of Essbase Server Shared Services?
Hi all
I am trying to reinstall the Essbase Server (on a new server we have upgraded the Essbase server hardware) and reloads the data, but the current installation believes that I have already set up despite the withdrawal EssbaseCluster-1 of Shared Services Application groups. Is there something else I need to do to get the new install Essbase server configured as a new instance of Essbase?
Thank you
RyanIf the server names have been changed, then it probably won't work, but I don't know what you mean that it did not work, you should check the registry of shared services, other possibilities are reset configuration tasks in the registry by using the epmsys_registry utility.
See you soon

I was a user of windows 7, but then I go to windows 8.1
I like all the changes in the OS interface.
but the only thing bothers me is the interface has changed to my computer.
1 windows 7
all drives used to be classified in categories like hard dick and drives, removable storage and sometimes others, as in the image below
2. now in windows 8.1
all readers are scattered and its really annoying for me because I just formatted my local disk with data of the IMP.
and this is the 4th time I accidentally formatted wrong drive because of this disorder (in the picture below)
- marked blue is my optical drive and it used to be in the category of mailing
- all red marked readers are external and used in the third category
Please help me to get back to the old view of windows 7.
Thank you
Maybe this could help you

Having the upgrade of questions after recovery on Windows XP Edition version 2002 service pack 1 family.

How can I fix the serial number and the product number in my bios cq61-410us?
I have a laptop HP 18 months, with Windows 7. It worked wonderfully in all until he decided a little there is to lose the serial number on the bios information. Thus, he thinks now that I have a copy of counterfeit Windows. How can I restore the serial number and product number in the bios information?
Hello
The only practical way to achieve this is to contact HP via the corresponding link below and to make arrangements for this information re-tattooed to the bios to a service center authorized.
