  • Deletion of list for the AutoPlay feature

    When I go into control panel > Autoplay I see a long list of features I had formerly connected to my computer. Many of them are obsolete and are not used more and there is no way I know to remove. Does not work still uninstall orphaned devmgr device drivers. All I get is a missing icon beside the name of the device in the list of "devices" under autoplay. http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5281/AutoPlay.jpg
    The solution mentioned above using cleanhandler or by searching for the key below

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers\

    has nothing to do with what I need. Im not interested to change or limit the options for devices listed, I want to REMOVE the real davices to the total list. The entries located under these keys are cryptic and incomprehensible. Its impossible to know what device they are responsible. Please someone help me because I am willing to go through a complete reformat if I have to get rid of it. If someone can't find a solution, you could tell me how to prevent the list of devices non-volume autoplay?

    In the REGEDIT HELP: Group Policy Editor is not provided with Windows Home editions, however, you can use regedit to achieve the same result.

    Open regedit and locate the following key:

    The value:

    Set this value to decimel 145 (the default value).

    Another value (I have not confirmed that they are correct)

    0x1 disables autoplay on drives of unknown type. 0x4 disables autoplay on removable drives. 0x8 disables autoplay on fixed drives. 0x10 disables autoplay on network drives. 0x20 disables autoplay on CD-ROM drives. 0x40 disables autoplay on RAM disks. 0x80 disables autoplay on drives of unknown type.

    0xFF disables autoplay on all types of readers.

    Hello

    The function of auto run if not used correctly could lead to the breach of security. That feature could have been disabled by an update, there are still options made to enable it again. He has the discretion of users to use it again or not, based on how often or more often they use the service. As you already know, there is section that will allow you to disable or enable the feature by using Fix - it.

    Thank you.

  • The fax feature disabled

    During the original installation of this product I did not choose the Fax function. Now, I would use it but whenever I chose the Fax I get the message "the fax feature has been disabled contact the person who set up the printer." I can't find any way to undo this.

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hi @Docduke

    Let's go and open and internet browser and enter the IP address in the URL bar.

    This will take you to the printer Embedded Web Server (EWS). In SAP, select the settings tab depending on your printer model, the screens should look like the following:

    On the left side, click the administrator settings

    You will see the following message will appear, click OK

    You can now select continue on this site. In the administrator settings, go ahead and make sure that the Fax is enabled.

    If you get a 'system error. " Internal system error', I suggest to first view of compatibility in the address bar of the browser.   If that isn't working, you can also try trying to open the webserver integrated in another browser, try for example, if you use Internet Explorer, Google Chrome.

    I hope that this is the case.

  • The scrolling feature is flicking/back to top of page when I move the scroll bar

    When I use the scroll function in the menu of the Explorer, it flashes back and forward/back back to top - when I move the scroll bar!

    It may be a virus or something, but my antivirus software cannot be removed (antivirus software: 360 Total Security)

    Would appreciate help or a solution.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey @Nanoq ,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I understand that the continuous scroll bar jump around as if it were in a clip of House of Pain.

    Can you tell me if you use the scrolling feature of the touchpad or if you're clicking and dragging the scroll bar?

    It is a feature of laptop I always had personal problems with touch keys. Not that there is anything wrong with it, I just have a bad habit of going a little too far to the left or the right. When he loses in this regard, he always comes back to where I started scrolling. Same thing on my MacBook and my laptop.

    If this sounds like the same thing is happening to you try a mouse to see if the same problem occurs. If If are you could be right about a virus. Check and see if the problem occurs in several programs, if you do not have to try and fine-tune things.

    I also suggest using a program like Malwarebytes (available free online) to search for infections. It is always nice to get a 'second opinion' possible infections.

    I look forward to your reply!

  • Obsolete devices in the AutoPlay list & several entries for the same devices

    I would like to remove 4 entries for "Canon PowerShot A75" on the list of automatic run settings since I no longer have this camera.  Can someone tell me how to remove these?  (I have Vista Home Premium SP2)

    Someone else has multiple entries in the auto playlist for the same device?  Someone managed to remove them?

    Vestalite,
    Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.

    Always back up the registry before making changes.  See this article on how to back up and restore the registry:
    How to back up and restore the registry in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/322756

    It is possible to manually edit the system registry to remove the AutoPlay handlers. The AutoPlay handlers are stored in the following registry location:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\Handlers\

    Above registry key stores the Settings Manager, which is the action to perform when selected on AutoPlay.

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    \CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoplayHandlers\EventHandlers\

    Above registry key stores the names of different events, which contains associated managers. Which mean all entries added as value to the event will appear as an option when the particular event occurs and the trigger AutoPlay menu dialog box.

    Let us know if this solves your problem.

  • Nested no uid in result of server really not necessary to sort the results. What does that mean?

    When I try to access my Inbox for outitgoes webmail, I get a message saying nested no uid in result of server really not necessary to sort the results. I can connect fine and records, sent access etc, but not my Inbox, what someone has any ideas how to solve this problem? Thank you.

    If the webmail, it cannot not be IMAP.  Webmail, by definition, is accessible using a web browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari or Mozilla.  If you use a like WIndows Live Mail, Windows Mail, Thunderbird, Eudora mail client or another, then you will need to say that in your post, since how webmail and e-mail client/server operation are completely different.

    Like you say, if you use outitgoes like webmail, any errors that you see on your mailbox should be past on the server.  Thus, this isn't a problem, you can send, since it does not go on your computer and is not an error in your browser.  This is a problem on the server itself.  You will need to contact the technical support of outitgoes.

    References to an outitgoes SMTP server appear when you search for "outitgoes smtp.  This means that they offer client/server access to the letters.  If that's what you use, you must always contact outitgoes support because your email client tells you that it receives information from the mail server that it does not understand.  Outitgoes support should be able to help find the cause.

  • Firmware update to enable my Photosmart Premium have the ePrint feature?

    Printer: HP Photosmart Premium C309a

    Just a matter of curiosity... y at - it an update of firmware available to give my C309a the ePrint feature?  It 'looks like' the last version except mine is white and the ePrint version is black!   Seriously, they are essentially the same machine with different firmware?

    If it helps my cause... I am a current employee of HP...

    Thank you!

    David Fox

    The C309a printer is a good printer but there is no update to use the ePrint feature, all it has the ability to do so is web apps. But if you are trying to print from a phone, you can search the HP ePrint home & Biz application to print from your android or apple mobile devices. It a free downloadable application that could help you. Hope this helps you.
