Probs Networking new Win7/64 for PC #2. running XP Pro/32 WITHOUT adding older HP printer. Here's why:

12/20/11 / USA!

Greetings community:

Sort of, I've posted a version of this problem earlier elsewhere. But now, I realize that I need to be more specific.

I recently bought a new PC under Win7 Pro/64 6 kernel and networking in my #2 PC probs existing. XP Pro/32 running.

I am also owner only (1) HP Laser Jet 1100 printer. Unfortunately, Win7/64 is unable to update drivers for it. Printer, grand, but not USB and it uses cables series 'old school', etc.

So, I know that I have to buy a new printer with USB Win7/64 can be updated. I tried to find drivers for the printer more old and even went to the site of HP update. But, no luck.

Right now, I just want the 2 PC networked together without adding a printer at this time.

Is this possible?

I'm new to Win7/64, and in the past, are struggling to hang on a house or a networking group work before.

I can see two icons for each networked PC, I tried to implement on my own from the other day. But still cannot access Pc #2. XP Pro/32 running.

I really need to read my discs on the XP Pro/32 PC so I can just transfer some files I want in the new PC on Win7/64.

I'll deal with getting a new printer later.

'Specific' to this stuff would be greatly appreciated by me!

As always, thank you!

  • Win7 drivers for the A50-105 Satellite Pro

    Hello

    I'm wanting to upgrade my my Satellite A50-105 from XP to Windows 7.
    Is - this possiable? And where can I find the drivers for it? Thank you

    This old notebook was designed for Windows XP Home edition and it is certainly not compatible with Win7 so you will not be able to find Win7 drivers, Toshiba especially not specific tools and utilities.

    If you want to use the new operating system, I'm afraid, you need better and more recent material.

  • New HD graphics for mac beginning of 2008 pro card and a new screen

    Hi, I am looking to update my HD graphics card and buy a new HD screen, I hope you guys can help (I am based in the United Kingdom)

    I see (after doing some research on this forum) that operating systems seem to be important as well anything else.

    If my installation is:

    -OS X 10.8.5 (must keep this for stability problems)

    -Current is card ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB

    -Mac model is 3.1

    You are not sure if we need more information on this stuff?

    I currently run a Sony BRAVIA and have other devices connected to it - Blu - Ray, Xbox.  It would be great to get a new monitor too and have enough connection to have all this always running as well as the mac.  I don't know if it's possible, because I don't know how the graphics cards these days above to connect to monitors.

    Help on that would be great.  I was able to get this old beast to keep improving in terms of storage and performance.  It is the missing piece of the puzzle for me.

  • Automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter

    I have a home network with two computers Vista and I have a Vista laptop for work.  Where my work laptop is home it does not automatically connect to the internet, similarly if I want it.  When I go to network and sharing on laptop computer center it displays icons for the laptop, my home and internet network.  Threre is a X red between the network icon and the internet.  If I click on the red X a pop-up window indicates that Windows checks the problem.  Then a box will appear with several options, one if which is automatically "get new IP settings for the NIC 'Wireless Network Connection'.  When I click on a window pops up that says repair, and after a brief interval, she announced that the problem has been fixed, and it was fixed.

    How can I configure things so that she will do it automatically without this manual intervention.  There must be some way because I have never asked a password or permission to continue.

    If I turn off the laptop and then turn it back on a few moments later, the network connection is still there.  The problem occurs when I try again a few days later.

    Thank you.

    P.S. I tried to submit this a couple of days, but it does not appear under my son, so I don't know what happened.  If the previous post is without me being able to find I apologize.  I don't like having to type things, that's for sure. Jim

    Thanks for the reply.  I did it.

    I'm not sure it would fix the problem however, because the problem occurs after a day power off and power back up a few days later.  So presumably the power to the network adapter has been disable for power off intervals.

    Something happened tonight when I put under tension.  Asked me to confirm something on the network (unfortunately I can't remember what) and after that, I was connected to the internet - without having to go through the manual process described with my problem.  So maybe something has been reconfigured will correct the problem.

  • the new Win7 disc replacement does not accept the case key

    Our dv6 - 2173cl end is more the boot, the "freeze" while showing the wallpaper with the taskbar 'framework' as well as the Start button, the HP logo button and the Date/time.  Defective hard drives the check HP tools with 90772-50e656-xd0021(7? wrote down in a bit of a hurry, sorry)-6ou103 error code.  Since the reader would also not 'take' the restoration attepmts (so the HP tools) we thought that a new disc has been a given.  Fast forward...  Now with the new drive in and a new Win7 install (no recovery disk, yes we know) the facility does not accept the key from the sticker on the bottom of the case and Yes Win7 is Home Premium on old and new.  So now, what do we do to get active Windows?

    I found that if you enter the key during installation and enter the key during activation of this always accepts it. Always works for me when I do a clean install of Windows 7 on client computers.

  • new fake serial for the product key in order to activate the non-visible product

    The starting point, it's that I want to install Acrobat 7.0 Standard (which, so far, works well in Win7 XP box) on my new Win10-Sytem.

    Installing from the CD worked - and (surprise) it is works on Win 10!

    But: I can not activate it with the original serial number.

    So: earlier I had this discussion (which is now closed...):


    I want to inform that the key to this series is for Acrobat 7 and Adobe no longer support this product so in order to help you I provided a link so please click on this link:Download Adobe Acrobat 7 and Adobe Creative Suite 2 products

    Then sign in to your Adobe account, then you must select your product form there and also you will find the new dummy series for the product key in order to activate the product, please, do not use your product serial key

    Well: the download of the installation file has worked, but I can't find the new dummy series for the product key in order to activate the product in my account. Again there is the OLD and no keys work.

    So, please: where can I find the fake serial key?

    You are welcome

  • AppSpeed probe network ports

    I read the Setup Guide and AppSpeed User Guide. I know that the probe comes with an interface management and the ability to monitor the 3 vSwitches. Can anyone confirm that in AppSpeed probe, the first interface is for management, while the 2nd, 3rd and 4th are for surveillance of vSwitches.

    This information is not specified in the documentation.

    Hi Erik,

    Your description is correct. The first interface is dedicated to network management ("management" selected in the drop-down menu in the probe Setup screen). Three interfaces are dedicated for monitoring vSwitches chosen to be controlled by this sensor in the sensor installation window.

    Rather, I put them to update automatically, but how do I disable 'open new tabs' privileges for an add-on?

    Maybe it's a small nuisance for some users, but I don't think that mozilla would do something against it is not violation of the guidelines of addon developer...

    in fact, to open a new tab after some mozilla firefox updates itself, so that disable see: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-stop-firefox-making-automatic-connections#w_whats-new-page

    The new App Store for El Capitan update has locked up my macbook pro.  Reboot got about 3/4 fact and the machine stops. Turned off the power and turn it on again for nothing doesn't.  How in my machine to begin troubleshooting?

    The problem is most likely an attempt to update a system malfunction prior it is probably a problem with your computer, not the El Capitan.

    Start by:

    Reset the PRAM and NVRAM on your Mac.

    MacIntel: Reset of the controller (SMC) system management

    Start in Safe Mode , and then re - start normally. It's slower that a normal start, so be patient.

    If you are unable to start;

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    Please make sure that you back up.

    1. Restart the computer. Immediately after that the chime hold down the command and R until the Utility Menu appears.
    2. Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.
    3. Select the withdrawal (usually Macintosh HD) entry of the volume in the list aside.
    4. Click first aid icon in the toolbar. Wait until the button is active, then click it.
    5. Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.
    6. Select Reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Also, see this tip for user: basic steps for the OS X upgrade.

    If this doesn't get you;

    Install Yosemite or El Capitan, from scratch

    Backup if possible before proceeding.

    Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime hold down the command and R buttons until the Apple logo appears. When the Utility Menu appears:

    Select utility disc in the Menu Utility, then click the continue button.

    When loading disk utility, select the volume (entered into withdrawal, usually Macintosh HD) from the list of devices.

    Click Delete in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

    Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

    Click on the apply button, then wait for the done button to activate and click on it.

  • New not available for sending e-mail account

    I created a new e-mail address on my server. I then created an account for it in the mail. I have several other e-mail accounts based on this same server, and everything works fine.

    I entered in the settings of the mailbox even Mail to my new account as for the previous ones. I can send emails to my new account, and I can respond to messages that have been received by this account. But when I try to compose a message, the new account does not appear in the drop-down list.

    I went on the settings of e-mail on behalf of several times, and they are identical to the settings for any other accounts that work properly.

    What could be wrong?

    You must have a configured SMTP server specifically for this account in Mail-> Preferences-> accounts-> account.

  • Satellite A300 - I need new graphics drivers for games

    I have the Satellite A300 and the graphics drivers are so old; round a year or two.
    ATI got 9.3 and release tomorrow 9.4.

    I can t use them because ATi say it is Toshiba s responsibility to make them for laptops. S Toshiba drivers are a year old, so that a customer can do now?

    Some games like WOW sometimes crashes and it's graphics card problem.
    Doesn't that I paid for support or I got the satellite with full support?

    Just wanted to know if the next time I'll get a laptop among other things choose manufactures

    Why will you need new drivers?
    I think that WOW (World of Warcraft?) is not the most recent game and older drivers should also work for this.
    So do you need a new driver display for what games?

    A few problems in games could be resolved with a patch. Did you check that?

    The warning came after connecting to the internet.
    Something tries to trick firefox by accepting a nonsecure update. Please contact your network provider to ask for help.

    This problem may be caused by the presence of remains files in the program folder Firefox (defaults\pref) as a file firefox.js which replaces the URL of update with a wrong link.

    Do a clean reinstall and do not forget to remove the Firefox program folder to delete files that are the problem.
