Installing the L7680 driver will not work with Windows 8.1

I recently bought a new HP Pavilion laptop and updated to 8.1 windows not long after the purchase.  I tried to install my Officejet Pro L7680 all-in-one today and not failed on each attempt.  The driver/software will download but when I try to install the software I get a message of "specified file not found."  I called HP and spoke to a representative who informed me that my printer was too old and that it was not compatible with Windows 8.1 System.  He said there was no update available for my printer and basically I have to buy a new printer.  Wrong answer!

The issue is a file missing in the folder drivers to preload: Msiexec.exe

Please help me find a way to install my printer

Hi exumsta

Yes the anitivirus software could ask questions.

I'll make sure that it is turned off during installation.

Here is a url to temporarily disable all the startup programs to see if one of them is causing problems.

You must follow the same steps to reactivate all.

Let me know how it goes.

  • Singer Futura will not work with Windows 7

    I bought a sewing Singer Futura machine and a laptop Windows 7 for Christmas.  Then discovered the singer drivers do not work with Win 7.  I contacted Singer & they have the update is ready, but waiting on Microsoft to certify & free him.  No idea how long it may take?  I can not even try the new singer to make sure that the embroidery part works without this update.

    Only singer and Microsoft knows how long it would take.

    If you can't find the right person, to the singer talk to him, they might let you have a pre-release version of the software.

    InDesign CS4 stop working on Windows 7, we have Vb 6 application that opens Indesign cs4 to create multi-page document.

    but after a few Indesign CS4 pages stop working, if we run the same with version CS3 on Windows 7 it works fine.

    and if we use Indesign CS4 with Windows Xp, it works but create problem with Windows 7.

    You must have a configuration problem on your system.

    6 inDesign (CS4) works perfectly well on the 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 versions. Many users as same Adobe employees use or have used this version of InDesign in these environments of operating system without problem that it is associated with the operating system.

  • Mouse Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 and 5000 laser will not work with Windows 7. Is there a fix for this problem?

    I recently bought a new computer with Windows 7 installed and much to my dismay found my Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard 4000 and Wireless Laser Mouse 5000 are not compatible with Windows 7.  If no fix that means I have to start avery good keyboard and mouse I used comfortable for a long time.

    When you try to load from the disk, the message informed me that it was not compatible and use the automated system to find a fix has not produced an answer.  My keyboard and mouse are in great shape and it is not necessary for me to replace it with a new one from a material point of view.

    The drivers for both devices on the drive that you are probably older versions, you should be able to download the latest drivers for Windows 7 in the pages below, you will need to choose which version of Windows 7, you are running, that is, 32-bit or 64-bit.

  • Soldier Of Fortune II - Double Helix will not work with Windows 7

    Hello

    I recently downloaded the game Soldier Of Fortune II - Double Helix demo, but it won't work with Windows 7.
    It worked with Windows XP, I searched on Google but I can not find the right answers and help.

    Everytime I try, it says that it will not work and that it will shut down and they tell you when they find a problem... something like that.

    It depends on your graphics card and system.

    If its a NVIDIA card goes on the NVIDIA site for an ATI/AMD card, go to the website of AMD etc.

    If the PC is supported by its manufacturer, take a look at their support pages.

    Get the right ones for your GPU and the Windows 7 operating system, 32 or 64 bits.

    Somewhere, there will be the latest drivers for your system. You basically just download them (from a known reliable source as above) and install them. In some cases, you may need to remove the old drivers first, then read all instructions. Set a restore point before installing.

    As the game is pretty old, I doubt this will help. Its possible and is worth a try, but it's usually a "fix" to the problems with nine just released games.

    PS - "the last thing I did not understand much... "- if you mean this little " also try other parameters such as the use of 640 x 480 and disable the composition of the bureau, ' it designates only the options settings in the Compatibility tab basically, try them all.

    EDIT - just an extra thought: what is the exact error message? and if you run the program and then look in the event log after a failure to run, are there events errors or warnings listed at the moment, he fails?


  • QBert will not work with windows 7

    I downloaded Qbert Online, but he won't play.

    Nanrem,
    I wasn't able to find a listing for this game on the Windows 7 Compatibility Center.  There was no indication that the game would work with Windows 7?  You can uninstall the game and then when you go to install, click with the right button on the configuration file and run it in compatibility mode.  Also check with the manufacturer of game, because they have a patch so that it will run on Windows 7.

  • USB Flash drive does not work with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

    I have several USB thumb drives, some of them do not work when I plug them in while others work very well. By experimenting, I reduced the problem with the 64-bit Version Windows. All of these USB keys works well in my other computers that have 32-bit installed and also even computer with the 32-bit version installed on different hard drive. All of these thumdrives are detected immediately and works without a problem. The 64-bit version, I have uninstalles and reinstalled readers, drivers updated for readers and controllers USB chipset, reasigning letter drive without a resolution of the problem.

    It is interesting to know that this problem only occurs with some discs that I (like Ativa 4 GB, 4 GB generic and Verbatim 4 GB). While I discovered that you can do all the nonworking day thumdrives work once if you shutdown computer and plug the thumdrive into the USB port and the computer to boot, boot time is longer than usual and when it is operational in 30 to 45 seconds drive appears in the list of devices and you can read, write and format normally without any problem to experiment. When you pull chase him and reconnect to USB port after 10 seconds same problem appears aggai. First of all, you get the message that the disk must be formatted and if you try to format you will get a message that windows cannot format the drive. If you try to access the drive, you get message that Drive is not accessible. If I take this player and plug it from 32-bit without problem, you see all the files in the drive and are able to read the writing and the format is normally.

    I'd appreciate if I am able to get an answer as a way to solve the problem.
