• HP Photosmart 6510 series connects to the network and Internet, but not the computer.

  Hey all,.

  I have a desktop H8-1228 and 6510 e - printer.  I got both products at the same time.  I did the initial installation, and everything worked perfectly.  I was able to print of my HP Touchpad (the printer was on the floor and my Touchpad was down.).  Recently, I made a trip for two weeks.  I turned off the printer.  This seems to have been a mistake.  Now, he will only contact my network and Internet, but not the computer.  The Setup program keeps telling me that it is 'Impossible to find the printer' and that he wants me to check the IP address of the printer.  I did this many times by printing the HP's Configuration Page from the printer screen.  I also used Windows "Add a printer" without success.

  I have installed and uninstalled the software several times; every time that remove the icon of the printer and the Standard TCP/IP port in the "Devices and printers" section in Control Panel.  A few minutes earlier, I used Regedit to delete any reference to the series of HP Photosmart 6510 in the registry, believing that it could help my situation.  There can be no. :-(  I did the installation with the same problems that I had all the other times that I tried to install it.

  No help from you the printer experts will be greatly appreciated.  I'm not a novice as you can see.  This situation, however, launched my posterior. :-))

  Hi old_geekster,

  You may want to enable disable all startup programs in msconfig until you are able to access the Web integrated printer server. It seems that there is something in the communication with the printer's operating system blocking. It will most likely software firewall or security related.

  HP has designed a quick and easy tool that diagnoses and solves many problems of printing, scanning and connectivity: The HP Print and Scan doctor. HP recommend you to download and install Print and scan doctor no matter what time you need to solve a problem with your HP printer from the link below.

  I would like to know what are the errors you receive?

  Problems with Verizon router and during diagnosis discovered that the network connections window is empty (found by clicking on change settings for the network and sharing Center map).  We are currently connected to the Internet with the new router and Ethernet cable, but the cannot connect wireless (what we could do before) - apparently not to display icons in N.C. window is not necessary to have connections.  Found a reference to the network connections service and check it is running as a solution to the window being blank.  The service is not running, and when I try to launch it I get "Error 1083: the executable program that this service is configured to run in does not implement this service."

  Try these steps and check if that helps:

  ** Turn it back on. Sometimes a reboot will solve this problem.* *.

  1. close all programs and stop the laptop.

  2. remove all power supplies (battery and power cord)

  3. empty the remaining power by pressing the power on button for 30 seconds (even if you have no power).

  4. put the battery back and start the computer

  5. once fully loaded, right-click on the system tray and select Properties.

  6. This will bring to the top of the "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" dialog box. The "Notification area" tab.

  7. at the bottom of the tab, is the area 'icons systems. " There is a checkbox for "Power". "check" the box and click on apply or OK.

  Also update your graphics card drivers.

  It works! Tanks a lot Johnny D.81!

• Add search filters are grayed out in WIndows 7

  Add search filters are grayed out in WIndows 7. I need to add more search filters, but can not add more search filters.

  I guess that you are referring to the search box in Windows Explorer.

  The entry "Add a search filter" is not active.  It's just a Cape for the pre-defined search filters shown below.

• Impossible to turn off read-only - and I already checked the Security tab

  Hello, I use Vista Ultimate.  I'm on my home computer and have full administrative rights.  Have a big problem trying to get the recovery off the power on a personal folder read-only.  It is NOT a folder on a network or is a system folder.  When I go in the folder and click on the Security tab, ALL users have full right to make any changes.    No error displayed whenever I then deselect read only on the general tab, click on or .  But when I re - open the folder and check the properties, read-only is still active.  It's driving me crazy.  HELP!?!?!?!

  And Yes, I tried this:

  "To view or to remove the read-only or the attributes of system files in Windows Vista

  1. Click on start, run, type cmd and press ENTER...
  2. To view the syntax for the Attrib command, Type attrib------? at the command prompt.

  To remove the read-only attribute and to set the system attribute, use the following command:

  attrib - r + s drive:------------

  For example, to remove the read-only attribute and set the attribute to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

  attrib - r + s c:\test

  Be aware that some programs may not operate correctly with folders for which the read-only attribute and the system attribute are granted. Therefore, use the following command to remove these attributes:

  attrib - r s by car:------------

  For example, to remove both the read-only and the attributes to system for the C:\Test folder, use the following command:

  attrib - r-s c:\test

  If the run command is not listed in the start menu, follow these steps:

  Click Start, click principally made programs, accessories, and then click Run."
  
  
  
  
  And get an error that says: parameter Incorrect Format.

  Have you checked to see if the files in the folder are effectively read-only or if the only problem is that the file is checked in read-only?

  You may need to go higher in the chain of record because some properties are inherited (see advanced security of the folder until you come to one where the special permissions list including all permissions that are inherited for administrators or your user account). It does not stick because you don't have the permissions and/or ownership to allow you to make the change.  You must have permissions to full right for all folders (both on the main page and in the special permissions list) and you will have to take possession of the records as well.  Then change the ownership and permissions for yourself and administrators and don't forget to check the box for all files and subdirectories.  This should give you what you need to make the changes.  Here is some information that might help.

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have:http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista:http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/. To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To solve this problem with folders, folders takeownership or the reader (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html. To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article:http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

• The Add links and add server behaviors are grayed out and not usable.

  Good evening everyone,

  As indicated in the title, I am trying to add a record set to my project, and it is not giving me the option.  First of all, let me tell you what I use:

  Dreamweaver CS6

  XAMPP server running PHP and MYSQL

  Shows connection to the database and can be used in Dreamweaver.

  Site is built in PHP, and a .php page is currently being developed.

  Everything I have read during the last hours 3 research that said I should have links to a + link, unfortunately I do not have.

  No idea where the problem fixed so that I can continue on with the design of the site?

  Thanks in advance,

  James

  Well, I'm not sure if this is a permanent problem or not, but if other people with this problem can't seem to find an answer, try this one and let me know if it works for you.  I got antsy waiting for a response and just start playing with everything I possibly could, and that's what I did.

  When I clicked on the links, the + is grayed out, but gave me some options on how to do.

  Said one of these options to set up the test server with the words "test server" sites in blue.

  I never clicked this option, because my test server has already been put in place, and showing as connected, but I clicked on it in any case.

  He opened my server that was already there in, I hit then save... and voila!  All of a sudden, my bindings and behavior of server + worked!

• How can I add titles and ALT text to Images that are used as fill?

  I built a site and in most cases, all images are fillings.  I want to update the title and the replacement text, but do not have the option.  It seems that I can only do this to images that have been placed?  If this is the case - how to place an image on an area I want to be filled.

  Thank you

  The work around you are use is probably the best solution because there is no way to add the alt text of an image placed in a frame.

• All the editing options appear disabled when you compose the message, impossible to copy & paste, etc they are grayed out in the menu and do not work in a mouse right click

  Change options - Undo, redo, copy, paste, paste without formatting work, is that they are shaded out in the Edit menu and do not work on the right click of the mouse. I disabled add ons, run in safe mode, go out and restarted but the problem persists. Can anyone help urgent please.

  Mine are greyed out until they can do something. So they're all gray until I have started typing, pasting is grayed if there is nothing on the Clipboard and copy / cut are gray until I have select something.

• 1. is there an add-on to add a 2nd 'Home' icon in the toolbar?

  1. in a previous version of Firefox 3.5.x there is an add-on called Throbber Button 1.1 that allowed me to have a 2nd icon that would take me to the Home Page. Is there a replacement for this app for worm 9?

  2. is it possible to colorize the arrows "go back and go forward"?

  3. is it possible to have the 'new tab' in the Navigation bar that allows you to be near the X on each tab?

  Thank you very much. I appreciate your response.

  You can double-click or middle-click empty space on the tab bar to open a new tab.
  
  It's just no longer in the context menu of the tab bar.

  There are comments that the Throbber Button extension works in Firefox 4, so you can try to raise the maxVersion in install.rdf to see if it works in the current version, as well.

• Omen of HP 15: Wifi stop working. Win10 shows only a single network and it connects to the WiFi

  Hi guys,.
  Since a few days my wifi stopped working.
  If I click the Wifi icon it shows only a SINGLE NETWORK (two maximum), but not mine!

  

  And I live in a building of 20 + networks, as you can see on the WiFi Analyzer (I'm the only red to the right)
  
  
  
  If I reactive / disable Wifi with fn + f12, it goes back in plane and Wifi mode mode and sees it eventually all networks:
  
  
  
  My Wifi is on top. If it is registered, Windows connects to it and then she abandons the connection; If it is not registered, and I try to connect, it says "you are not able to connect to this network.
  Is fun is that after a few seconds, each network disappears and alone is shown (probably the one next door... I don't know).
  
  I already tried to RESET the laptop MATERIAL by keeping the power button for 10-15 seconds with the laptop is turned off.
  I tried to follow these instructions (http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04649175) updated drivers (Intel 18.12.0.3, 18.12.1.2, 18.30.0.9 [10 default Windows], 18.32.0 [last drivers]) without success. Whenever I have install a new driver, I uninstalled the earlier software Wireless + restart.
  
  I tried to uncheked "allow this computer to turn off this device to save power" on my settings of Wifi hardware without success.
  
  HP network support said that I did not choose a Wifi (really? The problem is that I do not see my Wifi on the list!).

  This is unrelated to a new 10 Windows upgrade since I installed it months ago and this is the first time I have this problem :/ It has always worked
  
  I tried different settings too:
  I changed the channel, I put 802.11 g on my router, APSD off on the router.
  I put "Magic off packet, QoS ad hoc off, U-APSD off, fat wide channel, differential flow mode HT off" on the creation of the map without success. Nothing chaned.
  
  The hardware test detects any failure.
  
  Important note: If I close the router, it shows my network connection with full power and he connects to it. Then I come back in my room (probably 3/4 meters away), it MAINTAINS the connection for 30 / 40 min and he drops the connection and I cannot reconnect to it more. It has always worked perfectly in my room during these months (I bought it in March 2015), so the distance is not a problem, I'm 6 / 7 m away from the router.
  In this case, it shows my network (connected) and the nearby... and the other 20 networks +?
  
  The only way I have is USB tethering with my Nexus 5.
  
  Linux: I tried the WiFi on Freya elementary (Ubuntu linux OS base) and it displays 20 + networks available on the list. He has not the connection problem with my Wifi, but sometimes it stops working, Web pages stop loading and I have to restart Wifi to reconnect to the it (usually after 30/40 min of use it).
  
  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  What is the problem? My Wifi card is broken? Should I call Italian support or if you have any suggestions?

  WAWood,
  I took a risk.
  I did a factory restore with recovery HP (I have a drive dedicated for her)... and it worked!
  I had to switch from Win8.1 to 10, but the Wifi problem is solved!
  
  I'm still guessing that was the problem...

  Now, I'm under Intel drivers 18.30.0.9 worm and all the networks work.
  
  In the next few days I'm checking the linux problem (reset deleted primary partition).
