Reinstalled after the restart HP printer driver

I have an HP F4180 printer with the latest driver installed. Vista's SP2. Whenever I reboot the system Vista creates another copy of the printer in the printer folder and then reinstall the driver.  This printer print becomes the printer default and is named 'HP Deskjet F4100 series (copy 1)'. At the next reboot creates copy 2 and so on.

Hello JimofDC,

Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

You can try to back up any software or driver for this printer, and then use the Windows Installer Cleanup utility to remove the Hp of your computer software. You can then restart your computer and re-run the installation of the printer as a new installation. I have included a link below to install Cleanup Utility.

Description of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/290301

If this process does not resolve the problem, you may need to contact the manufacturer of your printer to determine if there is some kind of problem with the software that is causing the printer to resettle.

Let us know if that helps.

    Original title: someone help please?

    Working on my old computer, a pentium 4, card mother GA81PE1000, I continued to have this message flashing on the screen "ERROR of LOADING of THE OPERATING SYSTEM" after the restart when loading the software Window XP. After so many years, working on the construction of computer & repair, it's new to me.

    So I checked the Microsoft Website for answers from people with the same problem in the past and apply their suggestions, nothing works... hard drive replaced, the changed value in the bios, did everything possible, still nothing works, phenomenal for me, please help me find an answer, thank you?

    Hello

    1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
    2 - what you want to say that you receive this error message during the installation of Windows XP?

    Method 1: Disconnect all devices non-essential connected to the computer and restart. Check to see if it boots normally.

    Method 2: You may need to check the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). Check if the hard drive is detected. If this is not the case, check the physical connections. Refer to the manual to check the same.

  • VIB not updated after the restart - ESX6

    Hello

    I have a strange problem while updating to ESXi600-201511401-BG on 1 of 3 guests. It seems that the fix is installed correctly, but it disappears on the next reboot.


    The commands I tried to help include, but none of them seems to work:

    esxcli software update /vmfs/volumes/path/Update/ESXi600-201511001.zip esx-base - d - n vib

    and

    Profile of esxcli update d software /vmfs/volumes/path/Update /ESXi600 - 201511001.zip - p ESXi - 6.0.0 - 20151104001-standard

    The result is:

    Message: The update completed successfully, but the system must be restarted for the changes to be effective.

    Restart required: true

    VIBs installed: VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 1.22.3247720

    VIBs removed: VMware_bootbank_esx - base_6.0.0 - 1.20.3073146

    VIB list after installation check seems to be updated, but after the restart, he returned to the old version.

    All guests were built fresh at about the same time using the same media however, this server has a problem. By comparing each server the only difference in VIBs is VMware_bootbank_esx-base. Everything else is the same...

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    VMware technical support identified the error "MSI - X not supported by the device" in boot.gz and recommended to update firmware or try to reinstall. As the host was running the same firmware as the hosts who have been updated and not happy with the way recommended reconstruction of the host, I did some research in error.

    A bit of googling suggests that the error relates to USB interrupts, which lead me to realize that it was the only server currently connected to a 16 ATEN KVM (cables VGA/USB) port. After unplugging the KVM, I was able to apply successfully the update...

    If anyone else has this problem and has devices connected to USB ports, I would disconnect them and try the upgrade again.

  • will be all my files get saved or new that were created after the death of this drive?

    I'm in Windows 8.  I had an external drive that I had put in place to save on file history.   This drive is dead.  I have since bought a new and I'm setting up historical files to copy to the disc.  He asked me if I would like to move files to this player of the former.  Of course, I can't.  He's dead.  I said no and it seemed to go.

    My question is: are all my files get saved or new that were created after the death of this drive?

    If she's not aging files saved on it, how can I get all my files copied?

    Hi Becky,

    Please contact Microsoft Community,

    As you have said that your return to the history of files on external Drive that got crashed, and then you bought a new external drive and set up again for the backup.

    I want to tell you that unfortunately, it will only back up recent files that you created on the new drive. Steps to recover old files is not possible that the backup was created on the external pilot who already got crashed.

    To learn more details of the history files, please see the link:

    No, to my knowledge, this is not possible, even if you copy the contents of the recovery of HARD drive on the new partition on the new HARD drive, HARD drive recovery option does not appear in the advanced boot menu.
    So, it seems you need to order a new drive to get here:

  • After the restart, firefox starts slowly, a script is not responding and answers continually.

    Hi everyone, I have a true glance.

    My firefox has always worked fine before, but I had to do a factor reset on my laptop and now there is a serious problem.

    After installed, firefox works fine, but after a restart of the computer, it hangs, becomes sensitive and always this message after only 2-3 mins "script is unresponsive script: chrome://browser/content/tabbrowser.xml.2425 ' either press on continue or stop the script does not stop at his lack of reaction

    This problem occurs in Firefox and Windows safe mode. I do not have Add ons installed and I also scanned for malware and there is not. I tried to reinstall clean without result.

    Any help much appreciated!

    In this case the Firefox homepage integrated display and no other site?

    In order to exclude Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or two of the following ways:

    (1) disable the Safe_mode of the Flash Player plugin.

    The following pages provide different ways to do this:

    Flash must unload completely from memory (Firefox restart might help) before it would take effect.

    (2) the value of Flash Click-to-Play ("ask to activate").

    This will delay the Flash start on a page, until you approve, which will distinguish the questions generated by Flash to load and layout problems.

    To set 'Ask to activate', open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click on Plugins. Search 'Shockwave Flash' and always change 'enable' to 'ask to activate '.

    When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification in the address bar icon and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an information bar slides between the toolbar and in the page area.

    Any improvement in these scenarios?

  • After the restart of mac OS x lion, the scanner hp wireless officejet pro 8600 does not appear.

    The printer works properly from the computer with Wi - Fi. The copy of front button works correctly to print a copy of the document on the scanner. But when you run the HP Scan 3 application, the error message is displayed: scanner communication cannot be established. OfficeJet Pro 8600 [CDD814] is currently unavailable. Make sure that your device is turned on, check the connection and make sure that your network is working properly. If these conditions are correct, restart the device and try to scan the image. After clicking OK, the unexpected fast HP scanning error button appears. Turning then does not cause the parser should appear. Using the system preferences > Print & Scan shows the printer but does not show the scanner. By selecting the button scan in the box dialog does not reveal a scanner.  Device is only 1 month. Help!

    I have connected to the Live cat HP, which has accompanied me through the process. It turns out that I had to delete the printer, then turn off the router and the printer. Reload the drivers from the CD. Reboot the router and the printer, and then run the installation program. Seems the router, "forgotten" on my printer and scanner. Thank you, HP!

  • Questions after the BIOS updates and driver - place 11 pro

    Hi all

    I am owner of a place of reference dell 11 7140 model 10 64-bit windows running and about 5 days ago I installed the latest drivers and the latest version of the BIOS using the automatic detection of the dell support page www.dell.com/.../drivers printer driver

    Since then, I met the two following questions:

    1: the automatic detection of the dell driver no longer works

    2: the system does not detect when a headset is connected, the audio always comes out the speakers Tablet - I reinstalled the latest drivers, but made no difference

    I wonder if anyone else has experienced those problems and what measures have you taken to solve problems.

    Thank you

    I managed to solve the problem with the audio: it was caused by an incorrect realtek driver installatiion, for some reason any 'Realtek Audio Manager' was not loaded when you start and that's why the system doesn't detect the status of the audio input jack.

    Always have the question of the automatic recognition of the driver, but at least I have a tablet of new work!

    No, it's a PostScript printer driver and the back-end (Acrobat Distiller) converts only PostScript to PDF. Adobe have no any PCL to PDF Converter.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    This procedure will unlock all your user (not system files) files and reset their ownership, permissions and default access controls. If you have voluntarily set special values for these attributes on any of your files, they will be be restored. In this case, either stop there, or be ready to recreate the settings if necessary. Do that after checking these settings that did not cause the problem. If none of that is meaningful to you, you need not worry about this, but do not follow the instructions below.

    Step 1

    If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to step 2.

    Triple-click anywhere in the next line to this page to select this option:

    sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nosappnd,noschg,nosunlnk,nouappnd,nouchg {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing Command + V. I tried these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting.

    You will be asked your password of connection that are not displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator.

    The command may take several minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have. Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) to appear, and then quit Terminal.

    Step 2 (optional)

    Take this step only if you have trouble with the phase 1, if you prefer not to consider, or if this does not resolve the problem.

    Start in recovery mode. You may be prompted to select a language, then the OS X Utilities appears.

    If you use FileVault 2, select disk utility, then select the icon for the volume FileVault startup ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name.) It will be nested under another icon of the disc. Click the Open button in the toolbar and enter your login password when you are prompted. Then quit disk utility must be returned to the main screen.

    Select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar. It will open a Terminal window. In this window, type this:

    resetp

    Press the tab key. The partial order you entered will automatically end this:

    resetpassword

    Press return. Opens a window to reset the password. You do not need to reset a password.

    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD", unless you have given it a different name) if not already selected.

    Select your username in the menu option allows you to select the account if not already selected.

    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the reset button.

    Select

    ▹ Restart 

    in the menu bar.
