Need to change the printer default BUT: devices & printers is completely empty.

I need to change my default printer.  I know how to do in devices and printers, but there is a problem:

"Devices and printers" show nothing, even after a half-hour search.  I am running Windows 7 Ultimate edition.

Please tell me how to change default printers without using "devices and printers".

I did a search on the web on trying to fix the devices and display the printers, but nothing that someone recommended works.

Thank you very much.

Enter the following command in the search, or create it as the target of the shortcut.  Do you think your printers when you run?

%windir%\system32\CMD.exe/c 'start shell:::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0\::{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} '.

  • "You are not allowed to change the settings for this printer. If you need to change the settings, contact your system administrator.

    XP Pro, SP3. I downloaded the free Bullzip pdf printer. Somehow my old printer pdf in my printer disappeared list which I have used for years. I get this message when installing - "you are not allowed to change the settings for this printer. If you need to change the settings, contact your system administrator. I click ok and it ends, but it doesn't work. It does not appear in the printer control panel as a printer to change anything.

    I built this computer at home and I'm the only one using it. What is this function 'administrator '? I've never had to administrator on any program. Never. That is what it is?

    CNET is infamous for the grouping of things in its downloads as much a / v programs report as junk (I went through the same thing using eSet NOD32 has / v).  I seem to remember that if you ignore the warning and download the exe file and then use a tool like the free 7-zip to extract only the file necessary to run the program you want, you can work around the problem.

  • I need to change the default 'open with' Bridge of photoshop to photoshop CC 2015.  How do I do that?

    I need to change the default 'open with' Bridge of photoshop to photoshop CC 2015.  How do I do that?

    Hi karen,.

    It can get a bit tangled. Bridge delay normally to some think the Finder is the default, and every OS has its own way for you to tell the OS what you say should be the default value. On Mac, it's in the file information dialog box. I think that Windows called something like properties. You can change an extension to open all files with an application in your operating system first, restart Bridge and see if she pays tribute to this choice by double clicking on a file and observing that it opens the right version of PS. normally, it will be. (By default) must also appear after this choice in the list open with contextual (right click on the file you want to open, select open with and find the name of the application in the list).

    If this does not work, you will need to manually choose your file association for the extension of the list next to him in the Bridge preferences > File Associations. Which is normally necessary only when you want to override the default choice of your OS System. For example, maybe you want to bridge to open in PS JPEG files when you double-click it in Bridge, but if you double-click on a file in the Finder/Explorer JPEG, you want to open with Viewer of this system. It will not say it is (by default) in the pop-up list more, but bridge will honor your file associated with the choice of your system.

  • How to change the page numbers after adding & save page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers

    How to change the page numbers after you add and save the page numbers in the pdf document - need to change the existing page printed on the upper right in the header numbers.

    These page numbers were initially created using Acrobat PDF header and footer.

    I have a 750 page pdf document that I've created.

    I have to sometimes the pages up and down after that I added the page numbers in the document by using the Header_Footer tool on the right column of tools.

    But after you save the document, if I get a few pages around, I can't go back and change the page numbers.

    I thought that the page numbers, as indicated in the header and footer must have changed automatically, but I guess that once its print, that it cannot be edited - is that, as what is?

    So I guess we should always first get a copy without numbers of pages before confirming the documents and the creation of an index.

    A way to remove these page numbers already there and add new page numbers.

    Its a lot of work to align 750 court documents and then realize that you must move some and then realize the page numbers cannot be changed and thus begin to do this all over again to compile which can take about 10 hours.

    My question is quite simple, but I hope that overall, I got my point. Sorry if I made it is too complex.

    If no simple way, want to know if anyone has another different tool or a few recommendations to better highlight what I'm doing wrong.

    Thank you for your review and response.

    You should be able to update with tools - Pages - header & foot-

    Update... It not work for you?

    If this isn't the case, then try to remove from this menu and then re - adding them.

  • I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use.

    Quick question: I need to change the drive to a new drive letter, but XP will not let me because he thinks that the letter is in use, when it is not.

    The question for a long time: I've updated two disks in my computer from 1 TB to 2 TB. They were e and K:. The KC: drive is used as a backup of data on E: drive.

    I copied all the data on the old drive E: to the new, but when I put the new drive in place of the old, XP wouldn't let me assign the E: drive letter. It is ironic that several times, I see the warning that if you change a drive letter, some programs may not work - so of course that Microsoft is aware of this problem - however, it is annoying when you NEED to change a drive letter to OPERATE programs, but Windows won't let you. Sometimes, trying to protect users from doing stupid things prevents them from making things work...

    Anyway, after some research, I discovered that if I put the drive E: OLD and "remove" the drive of her letter, then the letter E: becomes available again. It did not work, and my computer is now partially satisfied with his new E: drive. However, the same trick with the new drive K: does NOT work.

    I removed the letter 'k': the old K: drive, but when I install a new one, it won't let me change it. It happens to be stuck at 'l': it's no use to me because backup programs are ready to use the K:\ path.

    There is that no "K:" drive in my computer and I deleted the letter k: the old disk. How do I FORCE XP to designate the new drive K: so that my backup program can work again?

    Thank you.

    Did you try to start your computer in Mode without fail (repeatedly, key to tap the F8 as your computer starts) and then try to re-assignment of drive letters?
    I think that some programs on your machine may be playing with your drive letters.  Boot safe mode will allow Windows to operate with a minimum of processes that are running and you should be able to change drive letters in these conditions.

    I bought a DC Acrobat pro, because I need to change the format of PDF to WORD. So I bought and select: PDF export and turns me to settle on which is written: "buy acrobat pro DC" but I already bought!

    It is not enough to just buy it. You will need to also download, install and then use it. If buy you it, but continue to use the free player, he won't have to work.

  • I need to change the form, but it is "secure".

    I created a form in Acrobat Pro 8. XX made rights to fill and created for reader. I need to change the form, but it is "secure". How can I change the warranty form and re established the rights of the reader later

    Thanks Frank

    To change the PDF form, you must remove Reader Extended rights in saving the PDF as a copy as described in the help documentation.

    When you apply the Reader Extended rights are provided the opportunity to save the form in a different folder or under another name... This will prevent this problem since you have a copy of the form without and scope of rights.
