Unable to complete wireless

can connect to internet wireless PC, but cannot print from it.

I am running XP in both computers.

Assumptions 1,2,3 and 4 are correct.  Printer is connected to the comp. By usb

Yes, I can print from comp. to.  Cannot print on comp. B., but can get on the internet

Both computers have XP home.

Help!

It sounds as if when you replaced the computer has (the one that is connected to the printer), you has not set up file and printer sharing.

File sharing / print

Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on file/printer
Sharing in Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files
and folders:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

For XP, start by running the network on all machines (see Setup Wizard
caveat in section A below).

Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused
(1) a misconfigured firewall or neglected (including a stateful firewall
Firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently running two firewall such as the
Built-in firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall; and/or (3) not having not
accounts of the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup; (4) try
to create actions where the operating system is not.

A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow the local area network (LAN)
traffic as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file / print
Sharing on the Exceptions tab normally run the Network Setup Wizard on
XP will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt" is that this
lights on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a
third-party firewall or have an Internet Worm antivirus «»
Protection' (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, then you are
fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN
with a range of IP addresses. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Of course, you
substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DO
NOT DISABLE THE FIREWALL; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

(B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This
is from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not have
must be connected to the same account on all machines and passwords
assigned to each user account may be different. accounts/passwords just
need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE
PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to start directly
on the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you
to do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

Configure Windows to login automatically (MVP Ramesh) -.
http://WindowsXP.MVPs.org/Autologon.htm

D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off
Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not home users sharing
directories or files of program, but you can share folders inside those
directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder.
See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a)
files between machines), if you want to share a printer connected
locally to one of your computers, share it to this machine. Then go
for the mftr printer Web site. and download the latest drivers for the
correct system. Install them on the target machines. The
printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this is not
install the drivers, then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases,.
Some printers need to be installed as local printers, but it's outdoors

You have a good internet connection for Siri? I just tested mine before responding, and completed all three calls I tried 3 different contacts.

      I have lived with this for a few months and reinstalled XP and then new service Pack 3. Nothing done until this difference

      Hmmm...

      NVIDIA drivers are definitely outdated.

      If the system just stops (literally goes off), I suppose a marginal connection inside, an out-of-date driver or a heat problem.

      You can carefully and without requiring too much force, remove one reinstall all you cable and connection inside including your RAM and all other devices installed just do one thing at the time, so you don't mix.  One thing at a time... Unplug it and plug it in again.

      If she runs in Mode safe, your it would mean that the system uses the default XP video drivers (that is why everything is so GREAT in Mode safe).

      When you start normally and will charge drivers NVIDIA, things will run more hot.  Will increase the time on the CPU and video card.  Make sure that all your fans are running, and the system is properly ventilated and ventilated.

      If the CPU or processor on the video card is a problem of heat it just stop - no warning, no newspaper, no nothing.  Cool that turned off for awhile and it could work again for a bit.

      I use the NVIDIA site and let scan them online take a look at your video system and see what he suggests for drivers and consider their analysis if they offer a new driver.

      It is recommended to run the scan NVIDIA with Internet Explorer.

      Here is the address of the NVIDIA page:
      http://www.nvidia.com/download/Prescan.aspx?lang=en-us

      Read the instructions, and then click the GRAPHICS DRIVERS button to start the scan.

      You must be on the 275.33 version and you are now on 178.13 (from you given msinfo).

    • Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit OS is unable to complete the installation.

      Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit OS is unable to complete the installation.

      I have a Dell Inspiron 530 of 2007 which came with Vista and has been updated 2 years later at 7 w. I had to reinstall 7 W... 3 or 4 times since 2010. I guess that my machine can't handle W7 very well.
       
      My current problem started with a BSOD problem. After trying some suggestions Internet on how to solve this BSOD problem that did not work, including repair of Windows, I did a data back up mode without failure and then decide to reinstall Windows 7 from the MS CD. My level of understanding is limited, but as noted, I've done this before with success. What I didn't understand is there seems to be another unsolved problem which does not allow the complete reinstallation of windows.
       
      I did a clean install, then a formatting and in both cases, W7 could not complete the installation. It progresses to the final stage of "complete installation" and then there is a second error message 1 that I can't read... "" a problem has been detected... close... "."  It seems to be a reboot loop.
       
      I have since read that the original BSOD problem and the 'detected problem' could also well be linked to the display driver. And this driver it must be disabled before performing a Windows installation. But I'm not able to access Safe Mode or the control panel to turn it off. If this driver is the problem, is there another way to turn it off?
       
      Or are there any other suggestions on how to complete the installation of the operating system?
       
      Thank you.
