• HP Officejet 4500 Desktop does not connect properly

  I have a HP Officejet 4500 desktop computer.  I just finished with the CD that came with it.  I then put in the USB cord and he said: it is not connected.  Please help me.

  I really did a lot of research here to the course of action to take following the easier to understand.  In Windows 7, the menu options start to activate the USB connection in a wireless is easy to find. In Windows 8, it is quite difficult to find.  If this does not work, you have more chance to uninstall and reinstall the printer if you don't have any options to scan.  Here is my suggestion:

  1. first of all, try to scan using the HP Solution Center.  You can have the printer icons two on the left side of the solution Center.  Ensure the right one is selected and you are trying to scan.  If this fails, record the error here for me please.

  2 to get the Setup menu, press the Windows key and the letter R to get the run of pop up screen.

  3. type in programdata % and in this folder click Microsoft > Windows > Start Menu > programs > HP.  Here you see "Add a printer" or "set up wireless?  That's how you get to the second part of the installation at the prompt is displayed to add a wireless printer.

  Again, if you do not see it or a hard time finding it, you can have to uninstall the printer and restart it to see if it brings more options installation.  If you care to have multiple copies of the same printer, you might see if you install full feature software and drivers (link is for Windows 8 64 bit en) without first uninstalling the printer will also implement the options you need to connect a wireless printer.  I hope this helps.  Check out all of my links for more information on this topic.

• Remote Desktop does not connect Win 7 on Win XP pro.

  The two turned on, remote active and available on the same network. I tried to connect by the name and Ip address, but I still get the error message.

  Check your firewall and router, the remote desktop protocol uses port 3389, this port must be opened.

  Hi Skidizmo,

  Sorry for the late reply.  I would say it is extremely common with Google Chrome.  Lets try a few steps and see if we can solve this problem.

  This is because Google Chrome will make itself the web browser by default.  If you go and uninstall Google Chrome with switching on the default browser output, then you are experiencing this problem.  I have a few options that you can try.  Please try Option 1 first before you try Option 2.  Option 2 should be done only if Option 1 did not work.

  Also note that some of these steps, you will be directly associated with system and any deletion or Pack with files can cause the computer does not work.  Please follow the instructions how I tell you.  Perform these steps at your own risk.

  Lets start

  2. Click on Internet Options
  3. When open Internet Options, click the Programs tab
  4. Click Make Default
  5. Click apply
  6. Click OK

  Restart computer and try again your icons.  See if it works and if not go to Option 2.

  Option 2

  WARNING: You will be altering a hive of system critical files of the operating system.  Deletion or modification of any sort can shut down the operating system of the ownership of work.  Please perform this procedure at your own risk.

  Please follow the steps exactly do not remove or change anything, unless the instructions below tell you.

  First back up the registry.  To do this he follow directions below.

  1. Click Start
  2. In the type in regedit search box and press enter
  3. Click Yes at the prompt of admin commands
  4. When the Registry Editor opens click on file and select export
  5. Name the file regbackup and save it on the desktop
  6. Click Save.

  With the now open register, follow these steps to delete the registry files that put Chrome in place which is the origin of the problem.

  1. Expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
  2. Expand Software
  3. Extend Classes
  4. Click .html
  5. On the right panel, you will see a default value.  Click on this and select Edit.
  6. Delete the "ChromeHTML" and put in "htmlfile", click OK
  7. Do the same with .shtml, .htm , .xhtml

• Home network works great, remote desktop will not connect.

  I have a Windows 7 laptop and a Vista laptop. They are connected to a secure wireless network. Both work very well as standalones. When I try to connect via Remote Desktop or connect with each other. My 7 is in a homegroup with a single name. My Vista is in a WORKING group with the same name. I can't connect either using remote desktop. Computer for both names are names of a single word, 'XXXXXX', not the format xxx.xxxxx.xxxx and I can't figure another way to their name. I spent 2 days serching various tech forums and tried what they suggested.

  Hello

  Homegroup is a unique feature of Win 7. It uses IPv6.

  As you connect to Vista you must configure Windows 7 to the home network.

  ------------------------------------

  Network Win 7 with another version of Windows as a work network (works very well if all computers are Win 7 also).

  In the center of the network, by clicking on the type of network opens the window to the right.

  Choose your network type. Note the check box at the bottom and check/uncheck depending on your needs.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please Note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic.

  If you end up with the 3rd party software uninstalled or disabled, make sure that Windows native firewall is active .

• Network of shortcuts on the desktop will not connect to documents

  I have shortcuts on my Vista desktop to the word "Networking" & excel files that I use all the time.  When I click on the shortcut, my computer says that the file is not found.  If I go through 'my computer' to connect to the file, everything is fine.  This problem is also the problem that I posted on another forum with no response yet:

  Running Vista Business & Office 2007 on a Server 2003 domain.  When I access a 'network' (in Word or Excel) file, and then close the file, I'm unable to re - open the file... I get the message ' document is currently in use, try again later ".  Also, if I open a file, make changes and try to save it under the same name, I get the same message.  I have this problem until last Monday... like a switch has been turned upside down or something.  Any ideas?  I am connected to my workstation which is located in an area (I'm not directly connected to the domain).   This configuration running on all my machines Vista and do not have the problem on a different workstation.  Also the Quickbooks will not open the file of our networked society, workstation does not recognize the network as a QB file file.  Can someone HELP me with this.  My workstation, at this point, is essentially worthless.  I am unable to work on any network files.

  Hello cwil0710,

  Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  What antivirus do you use?  I suggest not including mapped drive in your virus scanner settings.  Did you install any software or update straight from the software before you start the meeting this problem?

  Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.
