• Photosmart C4480 - sharing between XP and Vista problems

  I have my Photosmart C4480 connected via USB on my desktop running Windows XP. I have a home network set up between the desktop and my laptop running Windows Vista 32-bit. Sharing works files and the computers can succesfully mutually ping no problem.

  I have the printer to share in XP, but Vista does not see the printer on the network. I installed the printer drivers on both computers.

  I know that's not where he's going, but maybe someone will read it. I called the technical support and spent 57 minutes on the phone and got anywhere, not less than 40 of the 57 minutes were spent in complete silence. The only stage of the tech support rep asked me to do is to download the latest drivers on the laptop, but then me has said he did not install. After 57 minutes, he sent me an email with a link to the plug of the printer. He asked me to read him what it says beside 'Connectivity' which of course was USB 2.0. I had already tried to explain once Mr the difference between a printer wireless and a shared printer on a wireless network. Clearly, he never had the image. After reading the option of connectivity USB 2.0 for the guy, he noted that the printer could not be used on any wireless network. So frustrating. Very, very disappointed in HP technical support. Very, very unlikely that I buy another HP product.

  Someone help me please.

  I'll pass by this very detailed and try to think you don't know what you're doing so that the directions are clear and easy for anyone to understand.

  1. you must first install the printer on the computer on which it will be connected to via USB (Windows XP computer in my example). Follow the exact instructions that came with the printer for best results. The directions are simple and clear and the steps must be performed in the order that they advise for a correct installation.

  2. After you have the printer installed and working properly on your computer, the printer is directly connected to via USB, use the installation CD to install all the drivers on the computer you want to access the printer over your home network (Windows Vista computer in my example). When you put the installation provided in this computer CD click on Install or Setup or anything else that is similar in option you are given in the menu. When you get towards the end of the installation, Setup prompts you either to connect the printer to the computer or to continue and complete the installation without connection. You want to complete the installation without the printer connection.

  3. now that you have all the appropriate drivers installed on computers you want to set up your network. On the computer on which the printer directly connected (computer Windows XP in my case), you want to run the Network Setup Wizard to set up the printer share. In Windows XP, you want to click on start > my network places. This will open the my network places window. In this window on the left side, you should see a few options in the section "network management". Click 'set up a home or small business network. This will open the Network Setup Wizard. You will notice that one of the bulleted items listed for what you can do with a network is "share a printer. Follow and complete all the steps in the Network Configuration Wizard. When you are finished, your network must be configured and ready to go.

  4. now you want to turn on sharing the Photosmart C4480. Once more on the computer on which the printer directly connected via USB (once again, the Windows XP computers in my example), you want to click on start > Control Panel > printers and faxes. In this menu, you should see your newly installed Photosmart C4480 printer. Right-click on the printer and select "Properties". This will open the window properties of HP Photosmart C4400 series. You will notice that the window has several tabs at the top. Click on the "Sharing" tab, select "share this printer" and name the printer in the "share name:" text box. Do not the complicated name. I used "HP C4480" for mine. Click 'OK' to close the window and save the changes.

  5. you need to know what the IP address of the computer with the printer connected directly via the USB port, so that we can ensure that your network is configured correctly and that the other computer (Windows Vista in my example) is capable of good communicate with the Windows XP computer. On the Windows XP computer that is connected to the printer, click on start > all programs > Accessories > command prompt. This will open the command prompt window. Type "ipconfig" and press ENTER. This will show you your IP address, subnet mask and default gateway. Note your IP address. There will be a series of four numbers, separated by three points (for example 192.178.1.2). You can close the command prompt window now.

  6. now you know what the name of the computer is on the network. Click the Start button then right-click on "My Computer" and select Properties. This will open the "System Properties" window You will notice that there are several tabs at the top of this window. Select the "Computer name" tab The name of the tab may vary from one computer to another, but there will be a tab named 'Computer name' or 'Network name' or something similar. Select this tab. On this tab, you will see "full computer name:" and then to the right of that will be the name of your computer on the network (the computer DESKTOP for example). Note that. Click 'OK' to close this window.

  7. now you are done on the computer on which the printer directly connected via USB. Get on your other computer (Windows Vista computer in my example). In Windows Vista, click Start > Accessories > command prompt. This will open the command prompt window. Type "ping IP address" and press ENTER. Put your IP (e.g. 192.178.1.2) where I typed "IP address". It tests communication between computers and display the results when the test is performed. If all goes well, it will say something like 4 packets sent, 4 packets received, 0% lost. If packets have been sent but not received then you have a network problem which must be settled before the printer you will work.

  8. assuming that the ping was successful, you are almost finished. Close the command prompt window. Always on the Windows Vista computer (the computer not directly connected to the printer via the USB port), click Start > network. This will open the 'network '. Now your computer will search and display all present on your network. It may take a minute or two so be patient if nothing appears immediately. Finally the name of the other computer should appear (e.g. OFFICE). Double-click the icon above the name of the other computer. This should now show a list of all that on the other computer on the network. The common things to see here are printers and a "SharedDocs" folder You should see that the listed here HP Photosmart C4480. It is listed under the name you gave to the printer in step 4 above. Right-click on the printer icon and select 'connect '.

  9. This will open the "Windows printer Installation" window and says "connecting to the PRINTERNAME on computername. I don't remember exactly what happens the first time you do this, but it can ask you for installation and others. If so, just follow all the steps, it gives you, and he needs to connect to the printer.

  10. at this point, you are ready to go. You should now be able to open Microsoft Word or another program and print on the printer HP Photosmart C4480 from the Windows Vista-based computer on your network. The Photosmart C4480 will very probably not already set as the default printer so you will have to select in the menu of the print window in the "Printer name" drop It can open a window saying that the computer connects to the printer when you do this. After that when you click on print, your document should be sent on the network of the Photosmart C4480.

  11. If you want to set your Photosmart C4480 printer by default on the computer, it is not directly connected to (Windows Vista computer in my example), click Start > Control Panel. This will open the Control Panel window. Under the heading "Hardware and sound", click on "printer".  This will open the Printers window. You should see the "HP Photosmart 4400 series on ComputerName" icon in this window. Right-click on the icon and select "Set as default printer". After that, you should see a green and white check mark next to the icon of the printer. The Photosmart C4480 is now set as default printer on the computer, and whenever you print from any application will automatically be selected Photosmart C4480 printer.

  Hope all that made sense and solves your problems. If you please, after back and let me know if make you it work, or if you have other questions. I'll be more than happy to try to help!

• Sync a Tungsten C and VISTA problems

  I use Desktop by Access ver.6.2.2. The loaded disc, sync seems to work, and still nothing showed up in my caldnar or address book. Category: all the
  Name on the Palm is the same as the username in the desktop
  The files seemed to be placed in the backup folder.

  I know that the data is in the tungsten c.

  How can I get the data to show the software to the screen? Alternatively, it is a 'feature' to simplify my life?

  Message relates to: Tungsten C

  I could not get a driver working between the Tungsten C and Vista, but I managed to synchronize

  the device via wi - fi with Palm Desktop 4.1.4e.  I have tried both an ad - hoc network

  between my Palm and mobile, but also an infrastructure using my home network

  router.  The ad - hoc network has been a bit tedious, I had to turn on internet sharing

  on the Vista computer it would take on a private IP 192.168.0.1,

  and then I had to manually set the ip address of tungsten under

  System->Preferences->Wi-Fi->network:->Edit Netorks...-> change...-> details...-> advanced...-> IP address :-> Manual

  Then in the when I bring up the Hotsync Panel on tungsten, I select "network".

  and enter the ip address of the vista machine and then the hot sync.  He

  seems to be some problems with the VersaMail, which I don't use anyway, so I disabled the

  the synchronization of this request.

• The network is disconnected (and display problems too)

  Every day if I'm on my computer or not eventually at some point my network disconnects and refuses to reconnect. Finally he "reconnect" on its own, but it still will not let me connect to the internet. When I go to network and sharing Center and diagnose problems of use, it is said that I am connected but I can't receive information. I tried fiddling around with the settings and the suggested corrections, but nothing has worked.

  In addition, whenever that happens and I restart my computer (which solves the problem) the display size is 1024 x 768. I get very annoyed at this problem and if anyone could do anything to help I would be very happy.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your router > make sure you have the latest Firmware in Vista for it.

  Go to the website of the manufacturer of your computer/notebook > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > look for it last network adapters Vista drivers > download/install the.

  Try without commitment TCP/IPv6:

  If you still have internet connection probs, one thing to try is the separation of the TCP/IPv6 (which is done by going to network connection > right click > properties > it uncheck > OK.)

  Change the screen resolution

  Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

• Windows Media Player 11 has STOPPED WORKING... XP AND Vista problems

  I have a home network with computers XP and Vista.   Computer XP is Dell Dimension 4600.  Vista computer is HP Pavilion Slimline.

  On or about 6/10, WMP 11 on the Vista computer has stopped working properly.  Video will not play digital video (mpeg format), previously working but playing the audio from the file and the timer updates the video plays.

  Attempt to update the codecs (K-Lite).  Didn't help... now, the native multimedia player K-Lite is the same way.

  Deleting updates 6/10 and later versions.  No change.

  System restore of flowing it at 6/9, 6/5, 6/4.  Restoration is back with "unexpected error".  The logs show a NTFS corrupted and suggested chkdsk run.  Filled with chkdsk c: /R with NO ERRORS.

  Ran SFC/scannow on Vista machine.  He said "no violation of integrity.

  Today (6/14), WMP 11 on XP machine has stopped working.  Videos will be running, but are extremely hectic, like something, it's stealing time CPU; However, the system idle process is higher than 90%.

  What the hell is happening?

  EDIT TO add: I want to stress something else... Movie Maker on both machines still work.  Videos can be imported into and read correctly.

  I had things market... Finally.

  I have none of the above.  I do not have the installation diskettes (OEM on a computer HP... no disks provided with the machine, have only the recovery disks that I made when I configured the system).

  So until I went looking for a set of discs that I use, I did the following... and I * think * I know I could fix it, but I do not know...

  I have re installed the K-Lite codec pack... only of video codecs.  I essentially took the video installation by default EXCEPT... I turned off video acceleration.  Intel Express Chipset not allow me to disable hardware acceleration by using its own GUI and Windows Vista would not touch parameters of acceleration as Intel ordered to them.  Well, I suppose that K-Lite has been able to do what could not do Windows and Intel wouldn't let me do.

  Don't know if that was the fix or not, but everything works now.

• Establishment of an Ad - hoc network between two - troubleshooting - vista laptop

  Hello

  I have two latops at home. One is an hp compaq presario and the other is a sony vaio. Both runs on windows vista Home premium. I have a wired internet connection (a laptop connected to the internet with a LAN cable). I want to share internet for two laptops using the adhoc network. When I tried to do, it worked fine the first time, but now it doesn't connect any more. Sometimes it says "windows cannot set up adhoc network. Sometimes he created successfully, but the other latop cannot connect to it, identify the problem as a "network cable is unplugged" (this happens even when when I switch computers laptops).

  I really need help with that. I'm not a technician, so please teach me any changes I should make to network settings etc, or is it one cheap way without a router to connect the two?

  Thank you!

• Is it possible to fix color on starcraft for windows7 and Vista problems?

  I don't know if someone of you, people have the same problem, but I play Starcraft(big fan) and I usually play on my desktop, which works on Windows XP. It works perfectly and I have no problem with the exception of lag casual. However, I sometimes play on laptop from my father (who works on vista) and I get a very annoying problem of Imaging. All the colors which are white or gray are VERY bright blue. Upward, different shades of dark blue (which occurs on the field water) turn into different colors of the Rainbow. I tried everything until I heard that you are able to solve the problem by Alt + Tab. The method worked perfectly and permanently. The main question is... I received my laptop (running Windows 7) and I'm NOT able to solve the problem (and Yes, I ran in compatibility mode).

  Hello Generalpie.

  This isn't something I could fix consistantly.  If you are desperate I would try in a Virtual Machine, if you run Professional you can download a Windows XP VM for this purpose.

• Microsoft Word compatibility between XP and Vista

  In our office we use Microsoft Office XP for our documents.  We correspond with a typist for some of our documents and it has Vista.  We received Word documents that should have degree symbols inserted as they appear on Vista, but when we get them in XP, they appear as "N".  When that we send it rejailliraient on it, it receives the document showing the symbol of the degree.

  Is it possible to fix or download anything to make it compatible?

  Thank you!

  ~ Kristin

  DELETED EMAIL

  This isn't a problem of Vista vs XP. You probably don't have the same font that uses the typist and your police is not the symbol of the degree. Ask him to type documents in a universally recognized as Times New Roman or Arial even police. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• Media sharing between XP and Vista

  OK, so I managed to connect my Vista laptop to my desktop XP MCE 2005. Both have Media Player 11. What I want to do is to be able to see my library of Vista the XP machine. I put my music from Vista to share and off the need for a password folder. If I try to access my music folder, I had put on the share mode, my machine XP tells me that I can not, access is denied. In Media Player, I set up the XP machine to share its library with the laptop of Vista and that works very well, but it does not work the other way around. My XP machine does even not appear as an option to share my library.

  Yes, I am able to communicate with the media center, and I can see it in Explorer. I'm not really known how to open and close ports although, in which program should I use to do this? I am currently using the default firewall that came with Vista, and I changed a setting in the tab private to allow incoming connections (security would not be a huge concern because my private network is protected anyway, so I hope that all of the computers on my network in any case). I think that at this point, it would be just more efficient to create a new user account on the XP machine and load my library on that (I counted on having it different librariies for each person, anyway) thanks for all their help.

• Link between PC and Mac problem

  Hello.  We have 3 Mac running OSX 10.5.x and Adobe Std CS5 and they share their creations of Illustrator, images, etc., on a NAS file server.  Recently, I downloaded the CS5.5. trial version for a PC running under Windows XP Pro and on the same network with the same file access and security.  All machines use CIFS to access files.

  PC user will create an Illustrator file in one of these shared folders on the NAS and the link in images of an another shared folder on the NAS and save.  When a Mac user opens the Illustrator file, however, none of the links are valid for the user Mac is to add a link to these images and re - save the file.  Should what changes I do on the PC side to stop this problem?  Must the PC be on CS5, too?

  Open the file on the mac, in the links palette choose an image missing, and in the links flyout choose infomration link to show you where AI is looking for the file.

  Always happens to each link
  Could be a problem of config on the server with the way directories are perceived by the side mac. The simplest solution is to save the images next to the illustrator file.

  It happens to some links.
  Might be a problem file naming using characters that are not allowed as :/ %-in the name of the file or and linking folder_name.
