  • Scanner (Officejet 7500) cannot find the computer when you use shortcuts scan to printer

    When you choose Scan to PDF, e-mail, etc., by using the scanning on the 7500 buttons it allows me to select the computer on the network (each with all of the latest drivers and software loaded). However when about to the scanner and then says the computer is not found (whatever the) despite them being on and ready. Scanning by any other method of the Mac works. Automator shortcuts work very well during the tests, but they do not seem to get initiated by the scanner for scanning form of initiation of the printer itself.

    Research on the support site HP and conclusion - a 'connection error' or "Computer no. detected" Error Message displays when trying to Scan from the printer control panel - as a subject gives PC solutions, but nothing for Mac. And so here I am. Help!

    JKB

    The next thing to check is that "HP Device Monitor" is running.  This background process is responsible for detecting the keys for scanning applications.  If you open the activity monitor (located in/Applications/Utilities) you should see this class as one of the running processes.

    It may be generally preferable for you to perform an uninstall and reinstall the HP software.  You will find in Applications/Hewlett-Packard HP Uninstaller.  Use this utility to remove the old software.  I recommend that you download and install the latest version of the software for your 7500 here: http://tinyurl.com/4voly2d.

    Remote Desktop error

    I use Vista Home Premium.  I used to be able to use the remote desktop connection application, but all of a sudden, it stopped working.  When I try to run it I get this message:

    Please help me.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    It seems that there are a few system files that have trouble.  One of them being mstsc.exe, I wish you find spyware or infection by the virus first, before you try the next step.  Please see the sticky thread in the security forum.  MVP offers some good advice how to remove these problems.

    http://social.answers.Microsoft.com/forums/en-us/vistasecurity/thread/fa30853d-719a-4265-9e7b-9287567d31e3

    If everything is clean, we will try a repair installation to replace the problem files and also to ensure that other system files are good.

    The 'repair' installation (upgrade on-site) will not affect your installed programs or data.  Just make sure that you are already connected to your computer when you start the installation.  Do not boot from the DVD.

    If the installation does not start automatically when you insert the DVD, run setup.exe from your DVD player.

    • When the Setup program starts and the install now screen, click install now.
    • Note When you receive the important Get updates for installation message, click go online.
    • Click upgrade when the which type of installation you want? appears

    Please let us know if this solves the problem for you.

  • Remote Desktop error: the system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\ < LANG_NAME > \mstsc.exe.MUI

    Came across an interesting problem this morning. After starting my PC from various applications (OutLook 2002, Management Studio of SQL Server 2008, etc.). I was able to connect to a server by using Remote Desktop (RDP, alias). On trying to connect to a second system, I started getting the following error message:

    The system cannot find the specified file. C:\WINDOWS\system32\\mstsc.exe.MUI

    Will always be connected to the server, I tried to launch a second instance using RDP, but received the same error message.

    I googled the error and found different solutions (the best solution to examine ishttp://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/thread/164d1e0b-51e6-4201-9dc2-3f4a0ccb14e5), however, none of the solutions seemed to work.

    I tried checking the virus/malware, etc, but nothing was found. I tried to re - load the dll and the exe (s), but still not received the error message.

    The next solution was to try to see what can be changed on my system (new programs, etc.). I noticed there is an update downloaded to my system (C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log): AutomaticUpdates content success install successful and Restart required for the following update: update for Windows XP (KB969084)... the update is related to remote desktop.

    I rebooted the system, still not received the RDP error messages. Is I did a complete "install updates and shut down ', and then restarted my system that started working again.

    For the record, here is some information on my system:

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp_sp3_gdr.091208 - 2036: Service Pack 3)

    c:\windows\system32\mstsc.exe: 6.1.7600.16385

    I wanted to just post this in case someone else runs into a similar problem...

    Thank you!

    Argue for your limitations and of course they will belong. -Richard Bach, Illusions

    I have a machine with the same problem

    XP Professional: Version 5.1 (Build 2600

    I installed the update for Windows XP (KB969084).

    It does not, but a reboot is required because the system is running on the old dll

  • Satellite A665 - 12K: BT does not work - cannot find the remote service

    Hello!

    Help solve the problem,

    Computer laptop A665 - 12 k connected via bluetooth devices, bluetooth Manager finds the device, but do not connect it gives an error 'Cannot find the remote service' before you reinstall windiws solved similar problems 7. Did you reinstall driver broadcom, resettlement (ver.8, ver.9) bluetooth stack, clean the registry, windows 7 the relocation does not contribute to what either.. .Please help!

    Hello

    I recommend you to check the services that are running in the background.
    The point is that if BT service is not running or is not enabled, the BT connection cannot be established.

    To check the service appointment on: Control Panel-> administration-> computer management tools
    or you can directly open the Services' list by typing services.msc command in RUN or Start Menu search box.

    No, you will get a list of available services. Search for services called Bluetooth and activate this service by double-click a service and select the option you want.

    Then try to reactivate the BT using the FN + F8 key combination

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    10. restart once again & test.

    NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

    I cannot using the repair on Windows XP Media Center 2005 feature.  I started the repair process and enter the installation phase, but the installation stops because it cannot find the file [e1e5132.sys] which is a Windows\System32 folder.  I managed to download a Pack which included the file (using another computer), but I can't properly cancellation of the installation in order to install the file in the appropriate location.  Whenever I try to restart the computer, it goes immediately to this part of the installation of the repair process.  Even when I try to restart without reinstall into the CD drive; When the reinstallation disk is removed and I try to restart, it requires me to insert the disc to continue to the reinstall.  Help - How can I back out of the reinstall, so that I can add the missing file first?

    Hi Stephdan,

    1. have you done any hardware changes or software on your computer before this problem?

    2. Why are you trying to fix the computer?

    It would be possible that the Windows XP installation disc is damaged.

    (a) you can try to do a Windows XP disk which should correspond to the same edition, as it is installed on your machine.

    (b) later, try to repair the installation and check if you are able to boot to the desktop normally.

    Perform a repair Installation


    Note:
    however, you should not have Service Pack 3 installed on the computer before you run repair installation.

    Hope the helps of information.
    Please post back and we do know.
