d. Repeat steps above for each controller USB is listed under Bus USB controllers.

e. restart the computer. After the computer starts, Windows will automatically check for changes on the hardware and reinstall all USB controllers that you uninstalled.

f. check if the device works.

  • Windows 7 latop stopped to 'see' the printer wireless

    Recently, my windows 7 extremely connected to my home hub wireless laptop stopped seeing my wireless printer.  I above desk connected via Ethernet cable to the hub.  He can see the wireless printer.  So I don't think that the fault is with my hub or the printer.

    It also happens when I select the network icon in Windows Explorer to the laptop I have now no longer 'see' my drive WD RAID ("plugged" into the hub).  I get it specifically by typing in the address (\\MYBOOKLIVEDUO\DocumentReplica).  And once I did the WD drive is now listed under Network (but disappears again once that I reboot).

    These two conditions occur simultaneously and seem to be the result of the same underlying problem.

    Anyone know what I might be able to do to solve this problem?

  • Impossible to get w7 x 64 see network attached printer

    I have a Canon Pixma Pro9000 printer attached to a N4200 NAS from Thecus. All other PC can be printed on it without any problem, but I can't get the 2 PC running w7 x 64 to see the printer - still less to print! I went through all the procedures and processes, I can think of to make it work, but I hit a brick wall @ Can someone please help? I would really like to be able to print from these 2 PC without having to move documents to another PC all the time. All other network functions seem to work very well - it's just the printer problem.

    I already downloaded the thing of diagnostics that assures me that there is nothing wrong with the printer.

    Hey,.

    The touch buttons around the screen are always active, even if they are not displayed on the front panel at the current time.  To see where the buttons you can press on the? on the upper right corner and the display will be lit all the buttons.  Have you tried pressing the location of the X when printing?

    I don't see 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless as a capacity of connectivity for each model (6310 and 6310xi) of your printer. It is most likely the reason why your laptop is not 'see' it.

    There is a bluetooth wireless connectivity. It's a different way of connection that allows only printing capacity.

    You give more than the number of series in your laptop so I have no idea if bluetooth wireless is installed as a standard option. If it is not installed, you must buy a bluetooth dongle to wWalMart and set it up to use that feature.

  • Laptop stopped seeing Apple AirPort Express

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with the Wi - Fi with Apple Airport Express (http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/). Windows XP on my laptop Toshiba Satellite M70-339 PSM77E this is crushed about 4-5 days ago and since then he stopped to see the network Airport 4 days ago (but it can still detect the other networks). I think something in the network settings changed on my laptop. That's what I have:

    1 there is Airport Express Mac and a PC laptop Toshiba Satellite M70-339 PSM77E with Windows XP Home Edition.

    2 mac sees the Airport network (and some other neighborhood networks). It is connected to the Internet and it works fine.

    3 laptop with Windows XP stopped seeing the network 4 days without any reason (but it can still detect the other networks of neighborhood, so the material is activated and it works). I had the network works for about 6 weeks. When I first tried to find the network (about 6 weeks ago) I had the same problem: the laptop could not see the network, but then I worked I had a few other internal network settings in my laptop after I removed it, it detected the Airport network. I even used Express Admin Airport utility (or sth like this) to set the WPA security for our network.

    4. to solve my problem now, I tried almost everything I found in apple.com forums and some other related forums this issue, but it seems that this problem is usually solved by chance.

    5. I tried to repair the network connection (by selecting repair in the settings), I removed the networks all the favourites, I had, I disabled all firewall, I tried with different laptop computer IP configuration (I know that he doesn t have nothing to do with the detection of the network, but I was frustrated). I even updated my WiFi drivers and the laptop cannot always detect Airport network (However it can see all the others who are in the region). There is no interference between the laptop and the Airport (the problem doesn t also depend on the distance between the laptop and the device).

    Please give me suggestions. Don't forget the laptop used to detect the network without any problem, and the Internet worked well.

    See you soon,.

    Hello Jakub

    You will be very happy if anyone has experiences with Apple Airport Express and can offer a concrete solution. After losing question have you tried to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool?

    When the OS works well and stable it is always good to create system restore points or do some sort of backup image. I do this all the time and I'm not worried if something goes wrong.

    Sorry, Jakub, but if you can't find an answer or solution on the apple forum I really don't think you will find it here. The fact is that the WLAN card works, but how to set it up with Apple Airport Express. I don't really know, but as you said already, maybe you need a chance.

  • Mac does not see my printer "J611a"?

    Hello

    I have connected my printer to my router (it shows the name of the correct router if I run a config report), but does not see the printer on my Mac (when it is wireless).  Everything works fine if I connect to my Mac with a USB port.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.  Stuart.

    Hi SRJC

    I understand that you cannot set up the printer on the wireless network.

    For me looks that you connect the USB cable from the printer to the router. Generally this method will not work.

    You need to configure the wireless through the printing software and add the printer on Mac.

    Given that the printer works via the USB on the Mac already then you can follow these steps:

    1. Click OK in the Menu bar above and then click Applications .
