  • Canon pixma mp495 series. trouble shoot said that it cannot find the driver.

    Windows cannot find the driver for my canon mp495 printer.

    Brian,

    Illustrated in Windows Update optional device drivers updated is best if not installed, so I recommend that you ignore.

    If you do not experience any problems with your printer, apply the old addage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" :-)

    If you have problems with your printer, to the web site (for example, Canon) and download the latest Windows 7 compatible driver, then install it.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    mrsjeffyg, I recommend that you completely uninstall the printer from the computer. Make sure that all copies of the printer and the associated files are removed from programs and features, the Manager of devices, and the devices and printers. If you are connected with a USB cable, make sure that the cable is removed from the printer for the duration of the present.

    Click START and type "%temp%" and press ENTER. This will open the temporary folder, and I want that you delete all the files that you can here. Some will not be able to be deleted, so ignore these files.

    Restart your computer.

    Follow this link here and reinstall it from the Full_Feature Driver and software.

  • Not possible to burn a DVD-tells me that it cannot read the disc

    What do I need to get windows or any other media player to burn a dvd movie cause that he told me that it can not read the disc. If someone can tell me what I please

    The only version of XP that included the possibility of creating a
    DVD-video is Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005.
    What has been consulted through Windows Movie Maker and
    was not shown to be extremely reliable.

    Beyond that... you need DVD Authoring software. The
    following freeware is an example:

    (FWIW) It's always a good idea to create a system
    Restore point before installing software or updates)

    DVD Flick
    http://www.dvdflick.NET/Download.php
    (the download is: "dvdflick_setup_1.3.0.7.exe")

    Save the file to a folder on your hard drive and
    install from there.

    Be sure to read the Guide:

    http://www.freevideoworkshop.com/dvdflicktutorial.htm

    To create a video DVD base that should play in a free
    permanent drive DVD... try the following...

    First... read the DVD Flick Guide to familiarize
    with the program.

    Open DVD Flick and insert a blank DVD in your drive.

    If the window of Autorun from your computer... just close it.

    Click the project settings button and check... Video /.
    Target format... residents United States... Choose... NTSC /.
    Accept.

    The title button left click Add and navigate to your
    Video clips and select the ones you want on the DVD.

    You can have by selecting one and then use
    the up and down buttons.

    Left click on the button create DVD / OK / Yes / Yes.

    Please wait while the DVD is created.

    When the text "Completed successfully" is displayed you
    DVD Flick can close. Now you can eject your DVD
    and play in your DVD player.

    At some point you might want to buy more
    Advanced Cyberlink, Nero, Roxio, software
    Ulead, etc... but at least it is a start.

  • Why can not I coplete a formatt of a disc. I'm trying to formatt a cd - rw. When I try it starts and when it shows all green, it tells me that it cannot coplete the formatt.

    When I use the backup file it starts a formatt and when full gree it tells me it cann't fulfil the formatt. If I try to the computer drie E it does the same thing.

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    From the information you have provided, I understand that you are unable to format a CD - RW in Windows Vista.

    1. this happens with all brands of CD?

    2. you have any third-party CD / DVD burning software installed on the computer?

    3. you get any error message?

    4. are you able to format the drive by using any other computer?

    Try formatting using disk management.

  • I bought Windows 7 Pro update, I have Vista Home Edition (what are my options?)

    Hi dear,

    I have a problem, yesterday I bought windows 7 professional upgrade, but I discovered when I ran compatibility check that it did not support my home eddition of windows vista.

    So, what should I do?

    is there a solution for this problem?

    can I upgrade to windows vista proffessional then worms & Prof. without extra cost.

    Please need advise and help

    concerning

    Ayman Samman

    You can not upgrade to Vista without charge - you would have to pay for the upgrade of Vista (and you can encounter the same problem depending on what version you get).  Here are the valid upgrade paths:http://windows-performance.com/2009/08/13/windows-7-upgrade-path/.  So if you take this path, make sure that you get the right version of Vista, so you don't end up with the same problem again.  It is has also upgraded Vista to Vista paths as well, so make sure you that you consider those as well you're actually able to upgrade Vista to another version of Vista that can be upgraded to the version of Windows7 you (and all keep because if you need to do a complete re-installation you will need all those discs and product keys.

    I would try to return the software to exchange it for a different version where you can upgrade (or a full version where you can do a custom installation without the option of upgrade).  It is about the only other possibility that buy a version appropriate - there is no other solution.  You can't do a custom using a version upgrade of the software - installation it may seem to work, but you will not be able to activate and then you will be unable to use the system.

    Sorry, we can not be more help, but these are the options.  I hope that the store will work with you.

    Good luck!

    If you are a teacher, you should be able to ask better than that.  Seehttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375

    If I had to guess, I suppose you are trying to connect to a home wireless network and the box to "Enable IEEE 802. 1 x authentication for this network"is checked (do not).

    1. Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK)
    2. Right click on your wireless adapter icon and select Properties
    3. Click the wireless networks tab
    4. Select your network from the list of preferred networks, and then click "Properties".
    5. Click the Authentication tab
    6. Uncheck the box and OK your way out.
    7. You should not restart, but do it anyway, on general principles.

    If that doesn't help - and if your question relates to a wireless home network - and then follow the above instructions until step 4, but instead click on 'Properties', click on 'delete '.  Then go to the list of available wireless networks, find your network and click on connect.  Enter the password when you are prompted.
