my software device driver has not been installed successfully. How can I get my computer to thank that has my printer?

I am trying to add a printer. I went to the control panel. Click devices and printers. Click Add a printer. Located in my HP photosmart c4200 series and then he asks me a port. choose which port? I chose the lpt1 printer port and it went through windows update, but then a report of said error operation could not be completed (error 0x00003eb... what this means and what should I do?)

Hi Charles,

Unplug the printer. It uses a USB cable and therefore using LPT1 for parallel printers older is not possible.

Download the latest software from the HP Web site (or use your installation CD) and run it.

Do not connect the printer until told to do so by the installation routine.

If you find this helpful please mark it as such.

  • Software device driver has not been installed successfully. __This device cannot start (Code 10).

    I am running Windows 7 on a HP Pavilion a1600n and sometimes in the last month the CD/DVD drive stopped recognizing DVDs and CDs. It is opening and closing, and turn the disc when I put them in the drive, simply do not recognize anything beyond that.

    The State of the device reads that this device cannot start (code 10).

    From what I could find online code 10 was a general hardware error. I tried switching to another Cd/DVD drive and even changed the cable to the inside to see if it was the error, it was not. When I plugged the DVD/CD drive second he tried to locate the drivers online and and informed me it software device driver was not correctly installed. I tried to find some kind of solution online, nothing helps. If there are some ad where this has been previously resolved for someone else and you could point me in the right direction, or if you have a solution to this problem, please help.

  • Qosmio G40-10 s - driver software for device has not been installed successfully

    I get a message...
    Software device driver has not been installed successfully.
    Memory PCI controller... failed

    Is this a problem with my laptop or software that has been loaded. Now on Windows 7 32 bit Vista

    Hi spudcam,

    This means that for the memory controller PCI is no driver installed?

    Well, it is difficult to say which driver you need exactly and Windows 7's official is not compatible with the Qosmio G40.

    AFAIK memory PCI controller is Intel Turbo Memory module, so you would need Robson package driver of the official website of Toshiba.
    Now, I looked on the page of Toshiba and guess what, it s is available for G40 and Windows 7. :)

  • software device driver has not been installed successfully. Digital Still Camera Canon S3IS

    Hello

    Until recently, I was able to connect my canon S3IS to my PC and the device would be recognized and transfer my photos.

    End of week it last stopped. Vista sees the connection, try to install the drivers and fails to this statement: software device driver has not been installed successfully. Click here for more details. The status of details consult the manufacturer of your device to help get this device installed. Digital camera failed.

    I downloaded all corresponding updates of the Canon for Vista 32 bits website. I tried to plug in the camera to other USB ports. When I plug in the camera to the laptop of my wife (Vista 32) the camera picture is recognized and photos are available. I also took the SD card and used a card through a USB Reader and it recognizes the card reader, it wants to format the SD card, which means that he would remove the photos?

    I have all the current updates Microsoft Vista.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

  • How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

    There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
    http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

    The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.

    I forgot my password for windows 7 for my laptop and a reset disk has not been created. How can I recover the password or create a new one? and I have a dell inspiron one 19 desktop... your help will be very appreciated thanks in advance!

    Here are the usual methods to solve this problem:

    • Restart the computer with your Windows repair CD, then use system restore to set Windows in a few days (only works if you have recently changed the password).
    • Logging in as a different admin account and then reset the password for your existing account (works only if create you an alternative admin account).
    • Log in as administrator mode without failure, then reset the password for your existing account (works only if you have activated the account administrator and know its password).
    • Insert your flash drive USB with the password key file (only works if you have created such a keyfile).
    • Check your paper files (works only if you threw down the password somewhere)

    If none of these standard precautions work for you, then the remedy will be painful. Post again if this is the case.
