• Add a network printer by using different credentials in Windows Vista Home Premium

  Hello

  I am trying to add a shared network printer (from server) of a computer running Windows Vista Edition Home Premium. The user must authenticate by using different credentials, but I can't find a way to force Vista to connect with different credentials.
  In Windows 7, it's easy, I just add an entry in the credentials manager and everything works, I can connect to the server, access to all of the actions that the user has access to and add the printer.
  In Windows Vista, I can't do that. "" If I try to add a network of credentials in the "stored user names and passwords", I can only add a "a Web site or program identification information. "A credential to Windows logon" is greyed out.
  When I try to access the share in Windows Explorer, I get an access denied. Instead of having Windows pop up a dialog to authenticate, he tries just to the help of the currently connected user credentails, which isn't what I want.
  If I try to add the printer using the Add Printer Wizard-> add a network printer, when I enter the path to the printer, I also have an access denied instead of bring up a Windows authentication dialog box.
  Any help is greatly appreciated!
  Thank you!

• How to configure a printer LPT when adapted to use a USB Port - Windows Vista Home Premium 64-Bit

  I have a computer that does not have an LPT port, and the printer that I want to use (EPSON Stylus Color 850) is not a USB Port or Ethernet.  I bought a cable USB2LPT and attempted to get the printer to work.

  My problem seems to be the choice of the port to use.  Here are the steps I followed:

  1. pick "Add a printer" of the control panel. Printers
     2 choose 'Add a local printer' (even if using the USB Port, like when I plugged the USB cable into the computer, I received the message installing driver recognition but not familiar "bong".)
     3 selected "use an existing port.
     4 select "USB001 (virtual printer to USB Port) - it was my best estimate of the long list provided."
     5 choose the EPSON Stylus Color 850 ECP2/PCS.

  The pilot was then installed without error and tried to print a test page which is that hangs without error.

  I deleted the printer then tried to assign the LPT1 port.  No help here either.

  If someone can help me with the installation, so I can get my documents to print I would appreciate it a lot.

  Thank you

  Dave

  You do not have an LPT port.  When you select the LPT port data are always written him even if your computer does not have the hardware installed to make it work.  It would work if you have installed a parallel PCI Port card.

  USB001 would be the first choice, then USB002...

  The next step as Fouzan points out is to contact the supplier of cable or Epson for support of printer you.  Start by Epson.

  You can try other cables, parallel PCI card or another printer. Alan Morris Windows printing team; Here Microsoft Knowledge Base search: http://support.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx?adv=1

• What are the default programs to use to start a Windows Vista home Premium

  2. Click Start
     

     type msconfig.exe in the Start Search box and press ENTER to start the System Configuration utility.

     

     If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or clickcontinue.

     
  3. On the general tab, click to select the Selective startupoption, and then click to clear the Load Startup items check box option. (The box use the Boot file is not available.)
     
  4. On the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft services check box, and then click disable all.
     

     Note Following this step lets services Microsoft continue to run. These services include networking, Plug-and-Play, record of events, error reporting, and other services.

• What is the largest HDD size that can be used with Windows Vista Home Premium

  Can you tell me this as the largest capacity hard drive that can be used in a computer Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit with an Intel Centrino Duo 1.6 GHz processor.  The laptop came with a 160 GB HARD drive.

  Largest you can currently buy and probably larger that your mother/hardware card takes in charge.

  ~ 18 exabytes.

  Your limit is probably more capped by material (and possibly the cost) than the software.  :-)

• Windows Vista Home Premium - problem "task manager has been disabled by your administrator".

  Nice day

  I had problems with my task manager (I use the operating system "Windows Vista Home Premium"). Evertime I try to access the program, he returns with "task manager has been disabled by your administrator". I used different tools to remove malware and got rid of a lot of problems but still can not in Task Manager.

  I created a new user with administrator account and logged on it and had no problem until my 'Task Manager' program open, but when I went back to my origional administrator account the same problem occurred.

  Why can I get to "Task Manager" in my new account administrator and not the former?
  I still have malware in the old account or do I go into my registry and restore something?

  I am at a loss, and any help would be appreciated. I'm worried that I can always have some kind of malware that prevents me to access my task manager in my old account.

  Please give step by step instructions because I am not computer savvy computer even when it comes to fixing the problems of this kind.

  Thanks in advance.

  3. click on Add, press the reset button on the unit (or make it discoverable following the manufacturer's instructions), check the box my device is set up and ready to be found and then click Next.

  4. If the device is not found, repeat the previous step. When the device is found, select it, and then click Next.

  5. follow the remaining instructions in the wizard.

  ·         Make sure that the device is on and that the batteries should be replaced.

  Hello

  You can also use this method.

  You do not have a Vista disc that came with the computer to reinstall with, you should have a recovery Partition to do.

  Here is the HP Compaq information on how to use the recovery partition to put your computer in a new State.

  You press F11 at startup or through their Recovery Manager.

  It is all explained in this link.

• I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2. Is there a way to delete records of only updates of failed or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I use Windows Vista Home Premium 32 - bit SP2.

  Is there a way to delete the records of 'detail' of only updates of failure or cancelled in the history of Windows Update?

  I just installed hotfix for Windows (KB947821).

  It looks like a lot of my earlier 'failed' and 'Cancelled' updates are automatically updated and installed, and successfully, I might add.

  Some dates in some records do not seem much sense. I guess I'm looking for a way to select the records, I want to get rid of.

  Help?

  Hi Jeffrey,.

  It's not really a taken way in charge to remove only the cancelled or failed updates. These are taken from windows logs and displayed in the history. Steps that Jose post is a way to remove all files in history and will remove all updates as well as a failed/cancelled updates successfully.

• I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade?

  original title: Windows Update

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium and want to know if I can upgrade to Windows 7 using Windows 7 anytime upgrade

  No, it will not work.

  Windows 7 anytime upgrade: you have Vista or XP currently installed?

  If the product you have Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' does not allow to move from XP/Vista to Windows 7. You can buy the product at retail of Windows 7 Upgrade not the ' Anytime Upgrade '.

  Windows 7 'Anytime Upgrade' is for moving from one version of Windows 7 to a higher version, such as Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional.

• Bottom loading and use of the licensed version of Windows 7 instead of the licensed version of Windows vista Home premium on acer ferrari laptop

  I use an Acer ferrari laptop model with windows vista home premium OS. I would like to know if I can do the free download and use windows 7 instead of windows vista in laptop (I understand that there is a similar model earlier). The laptop is used entirely for personal use @ home, not for purposes of Trade/office.

  Windows Vista is to give a lot of problems even with installed virus scan software. It is slow and gives challenges to the use of household memebrs.

  Many offered computer manufacturers free updates from Vista to Windows 7 on computers purchased during a certain period of time, but this time with the supply have long expired.  There is no such offer to download/update free available anywhere.

• If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?

  If I use at any time update in windows vista home premium upgrade to complete, I need a Windows Vista Ultimate key to activate too?. Please answer

  Yes.

  You will need to BUY a Vista Ultimate Upgrade product key/license disk

  Windows Anytime Upgrade Vista is no longer available; which you always had to pay anyway...

  Try to buy Vista Ultimate Upgrade online: newegg, amazon, etc.

  Alternatively, try your local computer store.

  This isn't for free.

  See you soon.
