• Windows Vista C drive is not accessible, the error "the parameter is incorrect."

  I recently got a used laptop and have been clean files and install updates and now my drive "C" indicates "0" bytes. I can't open the files or download anything to try to fix. I also got the message "the parameter is incorrect." Can anyone help?

  I suggest that, as it is a laptop that you reinstall Vista second-hand:

  Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

  There is no Vista free download legal available.

  Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

  Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

  In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

  See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

  Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

  Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

  Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

  They will tell you how to do this.

  Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

  Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
  A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
  The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

  There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

• Error message: C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe "the parameter is incorrect."

  I'm so frustrated!  I tried to download Google Earth, and it would not load - so I started to experiment and I really screwed up the system!  Now, I get error messages saying the C drive is not accessible, and access is denied - trying to make a system restore I ge the message above saying the parameter is incorrect.  When I right click on the c drive, it shows that it is TOTALLY FULL - it wasn't a couple of days! I am running Vista 32 bit.  ANY help you can give me will be GREATLY appreciated!  I use the discussion groups in the office all the time and have always been able to get the right answer - I am hoping that will be the case here, although I do understand that this might be a bit more complicated.

  Thanks for getting back with me!  But I was so freaked out I got back my computer gurus and it costs $100, but it's fixed now!  Yes! If she was my own computer I probably would have continued to try here, but because it belongs to someone else, I didn't take a chance of really of screwing.  It turns out that the C drive was full (in color), and yet he says there's ZERO bites on it!  I wish I could be with my guru to see what he did... but at least I am in place and works now, so it's a GOOD thing! :))) Thanks much to answer and try to help me! Have a great week!

• "The parameter is incorrect" Error Message is displayed on the computer

  I'm running Windows 7 Home Pro on an Asus laptop and recently decided to add my old printer USB, HP Oficejet v40, to our network via a print server, LPR Networking USB wireless home. The Installer seems to fill correctly, and my printer appears in the list of available network printers (I alone). However, when I try to print wireless, I get one or more error messages. The first and the most persistent are: a StartDocPrinter call was not issued. Sometimes (not always) this is accompanied by another popup error: the parameter is incorrect. In each case, the document I am trying to print is no longer in effect. My USB utility Server network sometimes prints, and sometimes it is available. Running the printer troubleshooter cannot correct the problem (s) and always results in the following error: printer HP Officejet V40-P05d0443eb can be contacted via the network. If I connect the printer directly to my laptop, USB port, it prints as expected.

  The print driver is up-to-date. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer and print server and have also tried to reset the print server and the router, to anything will do. Any help to fix these problems is greatly appreciated!

  Original title: error: A StartDocPrinter call was not issued.

• Message error "parameter is Incorrect" when powering down wide network of password protected sharing

  In the network and sharing Center, when I click on the arrow to option sharing protected by password, select turn off password protected sharing and click on apply, I get an error message saying "the parameter is Incorrect."  In fact, I would keep the Division password protected, but my son is trying to use a printer that is hard, connected to my computer via the wireless network and enter my user name and password.  It also has Vista.  I check the box saying to remember the password on her computer, but it does not work. Whenever he stops his laptop computer and restarts, then try to print, enter my user name and password again!  I need to get Vista to work on one of these computers!

  Hello anderfam,

  Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Community Forum.

  (1) make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled.
  (2) If you are using a computer connected to a "working group", click on the arrow next to password protected sharing to expand this section.  Check if password protected sharing is enabled or disabled.

  If the password sharing is enabled, only people with a user account and password for this computer will be able to access your printer. Disable this option if you want anyone on the network can access the printer you share unless you give then a user account and password.

  Printer sharing:
  ------------------

  To share the printer, configure the printer as a shared printer on the server or the host (the computer connected to the printer).
  Make sure that you install the printer driver on each client or the system remote (computers other than the server).
  It is preferable to obtain the most recent driver of your Web site.
  Also check that the printer is compatible with Windows XP and Windows Vista.

  If Windows XP Professional Edition is the host:

  1. open the Printers window.
  2. click the right button on your printer list, and then select "Sharing" in the menu that appears.
  3. Select 'Share this printer', type a share name for the printer and click on 'OK '. Take note of this name as it will be used later.

  When Windows Vista is the client:
  Install the printer driver
  Use a driver downloaded from the manufacturer's site to install the printer
   
  1. If you use the downloaded driver, double-click the downloaded file, then click on 'run '. The file will then be extracted and start the driver installation.
  2 follow the prompts and continue with the installation until you reach the Setup completed screen appears.
  3. on this screen, check the "Select" printer port box, and then click on the manual button 'Selection '.
  4. Select "" LPT1: port local printer ' and click on 'OK', then click 'Finish'. "
  5. in the Printers window, right-click the printer icon and select 'Properties' (access to the Printers window)
  6. click on the tab "Ports", and then click 'Add Port '.
  7. Select "Local Port" and click "new port" button.
  8. Enter the name of the port using the XP computer name and the name of the printer in the \\ComputerName\PrinterName form and then click 'OK '. Close the Port name window.
  9. click on 'Close' in the Printer Ports window.
  10. the new port poster now as being selected. Click "close".
  11. click on "Install driver" If the following window appears. You are now ready to print.

  Another thing is to make sure that if the firewall windows is that there is an exception specified for sharing files and printing.
  Make sure that all the computers are on the same workgroup. By default, XP machines are set to "MSHOME" while Vista machines are set to "WORKGROUP". They should both say WORKGROUP.

  If please reply back and let us know if these measures have helped to solve your problem or if you need further assistance. We will be happy to help you.

• Trying to open Bacup and restore: "an internal error has occurred. The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057) »

  When I first set up the option to Backup and Restore to backup some documents (only) on an external hard drive, I got the error message "an internal error has occurred." The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057). Then when the clock reaches the designated backup time, the computer actually perform the backup. But now I am unable to open the backup center and restoration of anyway, so I can't adjust the time, I can not restore or select other files to back up. I simply do not have access to the backup and restore options. I always get the "an internal error has occurred." The parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)" whenever I try. So I still can not turn off the current backup parameter, which is set to back up every night at midnight.

  Hello Tjohanne
  Please write to the Microsoft Forums.

  This problem can occur because of a bad sector at the end of the volume that you are trying to save.

  However, as a workaround, you can try the following methods:

  (A). if you save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive, you can save the backup files in the second hard drive 300 GB with the letter E to test this issue. However, if you save the backup files to the second hard disk 300 GB with letter E first, you can try to save the backup files in the first 750 GB hard drive with the letter C or D.

  Run (B). disk check to check the hard drive
  Note: Please make sure that the DVD DRIVE is the first boot device.
  1. Insert the DVD of Windows 7 and restart the computer.
  2. when we are asked to press a key to boot from the DVD, please press enter or the SPACEBAR.
  3. click on 'Next' and then click 'repair your computer '.
  4 Please, highlight 'Windows 7' and click 'next '.
  Note: A computer can store multiple copies of Windows 7. Please highlight the one that is experiencing problems. The order of the elements in the dialog box is identical to that on the start menu.
  5. in the dialog box titled "System Recovery Options", click on "Command Prompt" and type the following commands. Please press ENTER after each command.

  C:
  CHKDSK /R

  Note: Please replace "C:" with the actual drive letter of the system drive on which Windows 7 is stored.
  6. Please let me know if an error is detected.

  C. now use another backup tool to check if you can back up files on the computer correctly.

• Try to change the drive letter, but get the error "the parameter is incorrect."

  I am trying to upgrade my PC to run Windows 7 64 - bit on a new Intel Solid State Drive (SSD). I install Windows 7 from scratch on the new SSD (which uses the drive letter J) have just completed and changed the drive letter of my original system from C to M.

  My intention was to reuse the drive letter C to the SSD, but the Win 7 disk management tool will not allow the use of C. "All I get is a' setting is incorrect" error message.

  My first thought was to check the location of the Windows page file. It was indeed using drive J, so I put the pagefile on the D drive instead and restarted my PC.  However, this has not fixed the problem. I always get "the parameter is incorrect" when I try to use the letter C.

  What else could be the cause of this problem?

  David

  I tried a change of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices registry but it is just screwed to the top of the new installation of Windows on the SSD (it starts in a unusable mode "is not a real installation"). I was not too concerned by what I had already made my decision to reinstall Windows 7 after making changes in bios to disable all disks except the SSD and force a boot from the installation of Win 7 DVD.

  This relocation is now complete and the new partition on the SSD system has the C drive letter. A reboot with the other shows, active records that the original disc of BONE has been reassigned to the next available drive letter.

  My problem is thus solved. If it was the only way to do so is now a moot point.

  David
