  • What are the drivers, I need to connect to the internet for a GT5432 of operating Windows XP and not Vista?

    I asked before, but try to reformulate my question. In my opinion, it miss a driver I need or have bad installed. (of the re - install after a storm)

    Charter, my I, said that there is a problem with my drivers or the Ethernet connection. I installed a new Ethernet connection-SMC1244TX. Still no connection.  I called SMC customer support number - they me Charter connected - which gave me the number to the catwalk, who want to $99-149 to ask a question because it is not under warranty, because someone changed the Vista to Windows XP, I thought I found the download for the correct drivers, but when I put my flash drive on GT5432 - I was not able to get the files-now I can't locate the download again.

    So what are the real drivers that I need on the GT 5432 operating Windows XP so you can connect to the internet?

    I just skimmed the old thread. It's too long. I think you should have stayed there.
    This has probably already been given to you in the old net but that's...
    Go to http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.doSearchCriteria&localeCode=EN_USA&productCategory=9&modelNumber=1537&partNumber=0&downloadType=1&knowsPartNumber=false and download the driver. You will need your card, part number. He also says it's a SMC1244TX-1. Don't know if it's the same thing as what you have.

    I can offer help any more than that. If you need additional help, go to the old thread.

    1 can't read on a Windows "upgrade version" which, in my experience, does NOT require you to format your drive... updated on what you have, without disturbing programs installed... at least that's what happened the ONLY time wherever I installed an upgrade version, so I can't give a 100% guarantee that it will work with your computer in this way... search link for all the things Microsoft http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US

    2 - depending on the hardware you have, you may not be able to run programs CC well, or not at all

  • What are the causes my print spooler continues to operate, and quickly stop again when I restart it? Lexmark P4350 - Windows 7 Edition home premium

    What are the causes to stop working during printing and stop again shortly after I start my print spooler. I also find that my printer takes a long time to start printing after I clicked "Print". I use an all-in-one printer Lexmark P4350 on Windows 7 Home Premium.

    David

    Hi David,

    Thank you for the update.

    Use all the dependency services?

    The solution for slow printing is the print spooler reset.

    When we press the Windows key + R, a window opens. This is called the immediate window.

    I suggest you to uninstall and reinstall the printer drivers and check. Lexmark is not Windows 7 compatible drivers for the printer. So, you can download the drivers for Windows Vista and install in compatibility mode.

    Follow the steps to install in compatibility mode:
    a. right click on the driver installation file and select Properties and then tap or click on the compatibility tab.
    b. check the box run this program in compatibility mode .
    c. press or click the menu drop down and select a previous operating system, and then tap or click OK.

    Hi all

    I found answers to my question on "Windows 7 Help Forums" http://www.sevenforums.com/> and a program to recreate and fix all the original Windows 7 hubs and symlink [attributes and security properties (full)], called 'Junction box' [site Web of Documentation: http://iwrconsultancy.co.uk/junctionbox>; and the download Web site: http://sourceforge.net/projects/junctionbox/?source=dlp>].

    I also found that there are more original than those listed above junctions.  My advice is to remove all the junctions, you could have recreated manually (or move them to your backup drive) before running "JunctionBox.exe" (using its configuration file "DefaultJunctions.ntj").  Then run it two or three times; because it is not recreate all the original joints the first time you run it.  It recreates the together the legacy of windows (see below), by default (C:\Users\Default), all users (C:\Users\All) and the current user (C:\Users\%UserName%), junctions on the first throw, but not the junctions of temp (C:\Users\Temp) and their targets. - you must re-create the junction target temp manually, yourself, if you want them to run.

    Here is MY updated 'Junction Box' 'DefaultJunctions_2.ntj' list of configuration files (list of all the original Windows 7 junctions):

    ;  Location paths and junction target are compared to [value] section header without qualifier.
    ; Default profile settings apply to all generic users when profiles are repaired.
    ; You can add sections for specific users, if it is not normally necessary.
    ; Wildcard characters or macros other that those listed above are not allowed.
    ; Junctions will be created using the target-full paths, regardless of the values relative or complete here.

    ; = 2 strength deletes any file, folder or the junction occupying the location target.
