Problems in using a DOS Windows Vista program

I hope someone can help me with this.  I currently have a HP Compaq Presario F700 computer laptop (GR967UA #ABA) which has a processor bicoeur AMD Athlon 64 X 2 (TK - 55 1.80 GHz).  I have 1.0 Gig of RAM, and it's a 32 bit OS.  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1.  My problem is the following:

I installed a program of production/printing barcode Dynacomp, a MS-DOS program that told me the company is compatible with and would work on Windows Vista operating system.  I can get the program to operate in all directions except for actually photograph the barcode.  When I try to do, all I get is an error message indicating "device PRN of spelling error".  I checked the connections to printers, operation and have no problem printing with something else.

I'm not a user of BACK and just the most basic familiarity with its use, for example. If there is no step by step instructions, I'm lost.  Any ideas on why printing is a problem or if all goes well a few ideas on fixing or working around the issue would be greatly appreciated.

This is JUST A GUESS, but I assume that the program tries to write about the default printer... know LPT1, which is a device of parallel port... which YOU probably do not even!  This thread seems to discuss your problem: http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1018027328 (Google: BACK set default printer).  Technically, their program MAY work in Vista, command prompt, but maybe ONLY when the computer has a parallel port LPT1 printer is connected.  You need to talk to Dynacomp and ask them what to do to address setting up YOUR printer.  If you Google long enough, you'll probably find the answer yourself... There are VERY FEW problems, that no one else has not met before (you), and they are kind enough to document their journey

    Problem with Vista programs: all of my Windows Vista programs make their appearance as the same icon.  How can I fix it and what happened?

    Rebuild the cache icon as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/117229-icon-cache-rebuild.html.  That should take care of the problem.  I don't know why it happened - but I've seen it before, and we never really determined the cause then either.

  • Problem with the Internet connection using IE7 and Windows Vista

    Hi all

    I don't know if I'm in the right forum, but I need someone, help please...

    I just bought a new XPS420 with Windows Vista Home Premium and IE7 already installed.  The 2-3 days, internet worked very well.  Now, whenever I open IE7, I get a message on the connection not found or something like that.  I did some research and some forums suggest to reset IE7 using Tools/Internet Options / Advanced.  It worked... but only temporarily.   After that I turned off my computer and turned back on later in the day, open to the top of IE7, it does not work yet.  If I turn off the modem, it does not.  If I do a reset, as shown above, it would work again.

    I finally called AT & T Tech support, but they could not diagnose the problem.  While we were on the phone and try to open and close IE7, and that is, I logged.  Then to test, I turned off the computer and turned it back on and of course, internet Explorer did not work.  The AT & T guy me open system information to check the properties of the network and all said that "this device works correctly.   He also suggested to disable my anti-virus program (I have preinstalled MacAfee), which I was very reluctant to do. So before you disable MacAfee, I tried IE and it worked, so I was happy.  I closed the browser and open it again and it worked; turned off the computer and turned it back and the browser did not work.  I already lost count how many times I had to do that!   When I click on diagnose the problem, I got a message on xxx.xxx.x.xx DNS. do not answer, as the server ping the remote host, but does not got a response.  On hearing this, the representative said that it must have something to do with Vista and that perhaps the OS has not been installed correctly and he suggested that I contact the place where I bought my computer and ask them to reinstall.

    He also asked me to install Firefox as an alternative.  When I did, it worked.  But IE7... at the time.  I could not afford to shut down my computer once again because I was already late to work, but I guess I'll find out later. But maybe I have to use Firefox if IE does not work.  I have not really tested who. Is the thing with Firefox, it is not compatible with our applications work as well as web pages, I am trying to access (I tried one before I left) a work t look the same and difficult to navigate. And it shows "protect on" on the lower right of the browser that performs the same way, he shows up on IE.

    Sorry for the long post, but I also need to evacuate.  The resolution could really be as simple as turn off the anti-virus?  But then, how to get us protected?

    Help, please!  I'm so desperate for a solution.  My mother also uses this computer to access its work files.

    Thank you

  • The formidable problem of Connectivity Bluetooth in Windows Vista continues to baffle. Here's my story and the cry for help!

    System:

    Dell XPS M1530 - Windows Vista HP SP1

    Device Manager:

    Bluetooth radios
    -Dell Truemobile 355 Bluetooth + EDR (driver 6.0.6001.18064, 21.06.2006)
    -Microsoft Bluetooth enumerator (driver 6.0.6001.18064, 21.06.2006)

    Other devices
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device
    -Device Bluetooth device

    Additional information:

    There are NO NOKIA SOFTWARE currently INSTALLED.  I had the version more up-to-date of Nokia PC Suite installed earlier today, but I uninstalled it to rule out it as the cause of the problem.

    Objective:

    To be able to connect my phone Nokia E50 in my XPS and synchronize etc...  It's a thing that I was able to do in the past (not sure how long ago), but now I'm having these problems.

    Problem:

    When I turn on my Bluetooth connection it starts to search for drivers of devices at random (see above).  He is unable to find the drivers for them and Windows problem reports & Solutions (WPRS) says that there is a problem with my Nokia cell phone.  However, as above, I uninstalled Nokia PC Suite and Nokia ALL entries from the list of programs in the control panel.

    I'm also be prompted by WPRS to consult the Broadcom website for driver updated also, but surprise surprise their Bluetooth software upgrades are not available now.

    I spent almost 3 hours to try to rectify this problem until today and I have tried at least four different solutions of various Web site, including this one.  From what I've read, it's an extremely widespread problem that seems to have no infallible solution, which is a bit ridiculous because it is only a problem of Bluetooth connection!

    So my questions are:

    1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?
    2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?
    3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

    I suspect that it is a problem of Microsoft or Dell but don't seem to be able to solve.  All my drivers in Device Manager are up to date (at least I said that when I try to update, although I'd like to think that there has been updates since 2006?) so unless there is some hidden updates on the wwweb somewhere that I can't find so I'm puzzled.

    I know that people are probably sick of hearing about this problem, but it has not disappeared, so he needs to take care.

    Hello, Ronan,.

    Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

    I would like to respond to three questions of your message:

    1. Why is it I'm being invited to check the Nokia website when all of Nokia is uninstalled?

    It is possible that your software Nokia my not completely uninstalled. There may be services or registry information left behind. You can download the following utility and uninstall completely.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp tool to uninstall any remaining Nokia information.

    Installation of the Windows Installer CleanUp tool:

    Find the tool here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301

    When you install the tool, you must be logged on as administrator of the machine.

    After you download the ms1cuu2.exe on your desktop, you will need to right-click on it and select "Run as Administrator" and you will need run the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the start menu. It will be under programs and will be called "Windows Installer Clean Up.

    2. Why is it I'm being invited to visit the site of Broadcom also?

    Because Dell uses Broadcom, more than likely, you will be redirected there after installed Dell printer the standard utilities trying to solve this error message Bluetooth that happens.

    3. why my system tries to install five devices that do not exist whenever I power on Bluetooth?

    After you uninstall the Nokia Software completely, see if that solves the problem of device.

    I would also recommend, contact your provider of cellular service to support more.

    Here is more information on troubleshooting Microsoft bluetooth connectivity problems: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/11a74104-645d-40d4-b933-bde5d15537bb1033.mspx

  • I am trying to remove the read-only in a file of windows vista program

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the program files in Windows Vista. I have a file that I need to be able to write to and I can't get out of the read-only mode. Can someone help me with this please?

    Thank you.

    You really shouldn't be messing around in the Program Files folder unless you REALLY know what you are doing, because the wrong action can cause a lot of damage to your programs (more than one in some cases).  You experience trouble intentionally caused by Vista.

    But assuming you want to do anyway for some reason, the said problem as a Teen geek is ownership and permissions.  They are particularly tight on the programs folder (and hard to get around even for people experienced in this sort of thing).

    You must you give full permissions and take ownership of the files or the folders that you intend to work with.  You may need to change the permissions of the parent due to inherited permissions folders.  You may also use the advanced permissions option to deal with special permissions (maybe change some while they are not inherited or others in order to provide the right permissions as well as the main permissions screen.  I don't know how long until you go to appropriating, but start with everything that you need and work upward only when necessary.  Here are a few guidelines for permissions and lines taken possession that should help you:

    To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

    To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  You can change now switched to read-only (even if the main folder indicates that they are always read-only - you can access yourself as the owner).  You can keep them in read-only to other users, customers and administrators even (although they can support themselves and access, if they wish, and it is really not that you can do to stop it except protect the file with a password by using a 3rd party product.)  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/

    I hope this helps.

    Hello
    Do you have an error message when you try to install?
     
    There is currently no information about compatibility with Windows Vista to alpha centauri. It may or may not be compatible with Windows Vista. Clickhere to check.
    However, you can follow the steps and check:
    Step 1:
    You can try to right click on the file setup.exe and "run as Administrator".

    Step 2:
    If worked well in Windows XP, I suggest that you run alpha centauri in Windows compatibility mode .
     
    If it still does not work, I would say that you contact the manufacturer of the game for a better support.

  • I have a problem with the download of Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

    Original title: Vista SP2 help for download

    I just download Vista SP2 on my Compaq Presario PC and it seemed to install correctly.  However, after it restarted my computer, nothing happened.  The computer was on, but he was not making a noise and the screen was black (and eventually appeared in mode 'sleep').  After about 3 hours of this, I restarted my computer manually. When I turned it on the Tower made a lot of noise (sounded like a blowing fan), but the screen remained black and didn't try again to exit mode 'sleep' (even when I moved my mouse and restarted my monitor).  I am unable to do anything on my desk now, then, what can I do to fix this?

  • Can I use the existing Windows vista ultimate 32-bit (real) key to do a fresh install (due to errors of unrecognized class) win vista home premium 32 bit (original cd)?

    Inspiron Dell 1720 2.2 GHz, 2 GB ram, Win Vista ultimate SP2.

    Cannot install all programs currently due to errors of windows install. I have tried scannow in cmd which seems to close automatically in less than a second to click on enter.
    I tried switching win installer services then in manual and automatic ('start' ed) with no ruling change ever to the problem. So now since I can't possibly find another solution, I'm doing a new installation of windows vista Home premium 32-bit which I did not have the keys. So the query. I would appreciate any comment how to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

    Look at the product key shown on the label on the computer.  Which edition of Windows is on the label?  If the label says Home Premium Home Premium dvd is likely a recovery disk only.  So if there is a recovery disk, so it can reinstall a new copy of Home Premium and all reset the status of the plant.  You will lose your programs and data.

    If the Premium family edition dvd is a dvd retail then you may be able to do a repair on-site modernization (aka ' install fix') of Vista Ultimate with it, but please answer these questions first.
