  • MicroTek Scanmaker 4800 patch of compatibility for Windows 7

    I have a MicroTek Scanmaker 4800, who gave me the results very years.  My old desktop with XP operating system Sony has died and I have a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5248 with Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  I can't load the Scanmaker CD on the Toshiba Software and get the scanner to work.  MicroTek shows not all Windows 7 drivers for Scanmaker 4800.  How can I work around this problem and continue to use my favorite scanner?

    If your Windows 7 Home Premium is the 32-bit version (How do I know if I have 32 or 64 bit) Microtek indicates that their XP driver works for this scanner and gives instructions on how to install it under Windows 7 in the: http://support.microtek.com/knowledgebase_1/kbdtl.php?request=KB-00106SW&vw=0.

  • Accelorator Windows driver stopped working

    Occasionally, I have a message that comes up saying Windows accelorator driver stopped working for Windows XP and has recovered. I have Windows 7 Home premium so why would this message keep appearing from time to time.

    I think you mean the error: display driver Intel Graphics Accelerator drivers for Windows XP stopped responding and has recovered

    This means that your graphics driver has stopped working properly.
    You need to update this driver, I guess its GPU from Intel because of the error message for the latest version of the driver can be downloaded from the Intel page so European page driver Toshiba.

  • El Capitan will never support a Microtek ScanMaker X 12 USL?

    When will you update this ugly OS so people can use scanners that worked with Yosemite?

    I'm fed up with El Capitan. All I want to do is be able to reuse my Microtek ScanMaker X 12 USL. It worked very well with Yosemite and Vuescan has issued software for ScanMaker X 12 USL. That makes me a lot of good for El Capitan will not recognize the scanner. Microtek not much help, either. They no longer support the X 12 USL and are not offers an updated driver.

    I don't not even in headaches that el Capitan made me on my computer at home.

    Operating systems do not provide 'support' for the devices. It is the opposite.

    If Microtek will not update the driver, it will never work with El Capitan. Apple is not write drivers for third-party software. Apple is just the third-party drivers available on the update servers.

  • Windows display driver does not

    On my lap top Toshiba Satellite I get the above message when I try to watch videos or play games. Whites out screen, the message and the tap of the Tower takes over. Sometimes the video player will work ok. Can anyone suggest anything? but please keep in mind that I'm not a geek!

    You may be better to ask on a forum of Toshiba - http://support.toshiba.com/support/search?s_query=windows+display+driver+stopped+working

  • Have microtek scanmaker 3700 cannot use with windows 7 all boards

    I have a microtek scanmaker 3700 who works well with XP now updated I can't use with windows 7 all the advice or solutions, please. Andy

    When I upgraded to XP, I replaced my scanner Microtek with a Canon Lide 100 for $50.  On computers that I support, we had some 10 years scanners, which were not compatible with Windows 7, so we installed XP Mode and use the scanners with it.  If you have the professional or Enterprise version of Windows 7 Ultimate, XP mode is downloadable for free.  If you have the Home Premium version, you can use him anytime upgrade to professional for $90.  There are other options of virtualization I thought working with the Home Premium version, but I have no experience with this mode.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

  • Why is my hard drive (external) working on a Windows PC, but not on my Mac?

    I recently got a few files transferred to a friends computer to my external hard drive and when I plugged back on my Mac it wasn't appearig in the finder or disk utility. The power led on the hard drive lit. When I plugged it in my friends mac hard drive was there, but when you clicked on the folders they were all empty. We then plugged on a Windows computer, and it worked fine! What keeps it from working on Mac?

    Thanks for the help

    Hi Rotherham:

    The hard drive has been formatted in Mac (Mac OS Extended journaled) format.

    He worked on your Mac before that?

    Were the files that you copied from another Mac or Windows computer?

    You say you plugged into a computer in the window and it worked fine.

    A Windows computer will not read an external hard drive that is formatted as OS extended (journaled).

    So maybe it is formatted in NTFS in Windows.

  • Windows 7 Windows update does not work after replacing hard drive

    Win7 Home Premium and HP Pavilion DV6-2150US.  Failed hard drive.  I bought a Seagate 500 GB replacement (original drive was 250 GB) and used my purchased HP re - install DVD to re - build Windows and reinstall the OEM software on the new hard drive.

    Everything starts fine, but he won't deal of Windows updates (. e. is a big red X on the screen of windows update).  I tried Microsoft "Mr Fix it" download - but it error and none of the other suggestions Microsoft not work either.  When I had the chance to talk with a MS tech support person, she suggested that somehow windows on the new drive is not authentic, etc...  Although windows on the new drive hard indicates that its active and authentic... is there some kind of checking a number of the hard disk 'really' activate windows?

    Just to make sure that my reinstall was not corrupt, I deleted the new hard drive and began in everywhere... I have the exact same result... it boots fine, but will not update through windows update.  The only other change to the laptop was that I had better buy double the memory to 8 of 4 when I bought 2 years ago... once again, do not know if there is a kind of material exchange limitation before disabling the windows software.

    Help, please!  I'm really stuck.  THX JimmyC

    Thanks for your post... I solved my problem by installing the update driver Intel rapid storage through this link:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02219204

    I suppose that as long as the hard drive is lower 250Gig you need not the new driver.  But when I replaced my hard drive failed with a disc 500gig hard - when I did restore HP to Win7 and the OEM software from the dvd, I bought - it put the storage driver original in Win7 - which works very well with a 250 GB drive, but causes the windows update doesn't work is not for readers more than 250gig.   When I installed the driver from the link above file, Windows Update started working - and you can imagine there are many, many fixes since my PC has been restored to original Win7 - doesn't not even Win 7 SP1.

    I hope it helps someone else... thank you for your message.  JimmyC

  • DeskJet 880C work around Windows 7 Driver?

    I have been informed by the HP deskjet support that HP does not provide for the supply of a windows driver for the 880c 7.  Number 1 can be changed - it is such a waste of resources?  Number 2, does anyone know of a 3rd driver or a work around solution.

    Select the printer Deskjet 882c, then go to step 2 #9 here.

    What do you do when this happens?

    You can try to find an updated driver and then update your driver to determine if it solves your problem.

  • Windows Update does not work after the hard drive has been replaced

    Hello
    I have the same problem, replaced in my Toshiba HD, rebuild from Sysimage, Windows Update does not work. A ran "fix the problem with the Microsoft Windows Update is not working.
    Problem still exist.
    The message that I got while trying to update: "Windows Update cannot currently check updates,
    because the service is not running. "You may need to restart you computer.
    Stop and then restart the service, still no luck.

    I ran Windows troubleshooting. He finds two problems with Windows Update components, it corrects.
    The problem still exists.

    The other post:

    Another interesting fact:
    After the reconstruction the new disk, user account control does not recognize Windows programs.
    for example: execution of Perfmon.exe, the Publisher is unknown! However, when I download the program Windows FixIt, Publisher is recognized as Microsoft Windows. It seems that user account control does not recognize the Windows programs that had found the new HD, but acknowledges those who is downloaded from the internet.
    I guess there is a problem with the license, Windows was preinstalled on the Toshiba and replace the hard drive could have caused a few conflicts of licensing.

    The same problem. Cloned old HD on a larger hard drive. Everything worked perfectly except NO indexing and update WITHOUT windows - the two recurring problems that seem to appear on the forums after a change of hard disk.

    INDEXING resolved with change to "Intel rapid storage technology." Google what I put in quotes, choose the Download Center and get the specific to your OP and the controller software.

    UPDATES have been a little more frustrating. The microsoft .fixes and convenience stores were without help.

    Go to control panel / system and Maintenance / administration tools

    Select Services

    Stop the Background Intelligent Transfer Service

    Stop Windows Update

    In 'My Computer' go to Windows / Software Distribution

    Right-click "DataStore" folder. Rename it to Datastore.old

    Rename the folder 'Download' Download.old

    Return to Services and restart the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Windows Update.

    Look for the updates. It will take some time because you deleted the database.

  • Windows 7 reports as "Not true" after replacement drive. Windows Update does not work. Any idea?

    I got a report that my drive was in imminent danger of failure.   Bought and made a direct disc-copy of the old disk cloning.    Everything seems to work fine, but now I'm getting the pop up that says Windows is "not true."    Windows shows as active, and nothing I've tried will stop the pop-up.  Worse, Windows Update does NOT work, and without running a few updates, I'm dead in the water for the use of new devices.

    I ran MGADiag.   Here is that content.   Any help is greatly apprectiated!

  • I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer. I did a test drive of Works 9.0, and lacked features that I found.

    I just bought a refurbished with Windows 7 computer.  On my old XP computer, I used to use Word 97 and later also used a version of works that might have been 2004 (?).  (Usually I only used word processing and Excel.)

    I took a test drive of Works 9.0, and found features that I liked were missing, specifically:

    • Previously with Word I could draw snazzy borders on the table cells, which some had graduated shading that looked almost like a real 3-d picture frame.  These borders changed to something else (rather ugly) when I took an old Word 97 and load in Works 9.0 word processing document.
    • With a table created in Word 97, it was easy to summarize a bunch of numbers that were all stacked in a column (or do other types of math).  Could not do with the Works 9.0 word processor.

    (These features were absent from Open Office as well, or at best have been tedious to use.)

    Word usually has features more and better than the works (such as those mentioned above)?

    Any suggestions on what I should use for word processing? Should not be the latest version, but should be compatible with Windows 7.

    Office 2007 and later nothing will work on Windows 7 but do not expect the full set of features in Office 97. Office 2007 and beyond have their own sets of complete functionality... :-)

    The problem is the purchase of older versions of Office. Microsoft does not provide them and you won't get one of them cheap.

    Corel has always produced WordPerfect... http://www.WordPerfect.com/us/product/Office-suite/?sso_test=true

    Free and Open Office are the alternatives...

  • Is it possible that I can get the new drive with Windows 7 activation of work without having one installed beside it?

    Hi, I bought a PC with Windows 7 pre-installed, refurbished but the case has a product key for Windows 2000, because he's company ex machine that has been upgraded. I installed a new hard drive and to keep my files, I copied all of the old disk to the new including the operating system. It worked well for a while, but I'm now getting the message "this copy of windows is not genuine". I found the product key of the old drive, but when I enter it on the new one it always says that it is not authentic. Is it possible that I can get the new drive to work without the one installed beside it?
