• HP Officejet scan cannot be run, error "Scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses the network device.

  Hello everyone,

  After you have installed Windows 8 on my desk, I lost the ability to scan with HP (Officejet 8500 pro wireless) solutions Center. Wen I click on scan (rather photo or document) I get a message: "Scan cannot be performed because another program or computer uses the network device. There is a little information on the HP site. I've tried all the suggested solutions, including several install and reinstall the HP software. The printing part works very well, and I can scan with other programs directly using the WIA driver. Now I scan documents to pdf authorizing searches, who wants me that this question be set quite often. Currently, I use my laptop for that. Everything works very well with Windows 7.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thanks, Johann

  I contacted HP about this specific problem.  They informed me that it is an upgrade of Windows 8 that Twain issue and they do not support this problem.  Reinstall the current drivers of hp does not help.

• "Unknown error" whenever I try to access the properties of the network connection

  Hi all

  whenever I try to access the properties of a network connection (e.g. via right click on 'Network'-> properties-> right click on a connection-> properties), type of connection according to what is, I get a message "Unknown error" box and I can't move forward.

  As a result, any setting of any network connection is not editable, more. For example, I wanted to force the IP of the local network of "assigned to DHCP" to "static" with an address fixed IP, but I can't.

  Another weird thing is that I even can't delete one of the existing network connections, even if there are a couple that are not in use for a long time...

  It should be noted that, apart from that, the network of connections work.

  What can cause this behavior, and that might be the way to solve the problem?

  I want to upgrade the system to SP3 but I am reluctant to take the plunge with such an "alive"... error
  As you may have already guessed, the system is running XP SP2.

  Thanks in advance,

  Concerning

  Yes, I am facing the same problem too. The error message says "an unexpected error has occurred." This problem started out with me a few weeks back and I was under the assumption that it was due to a virus attack. But even after a thorough cleaning session problem continues to exist.

  The problem - as mentioned above by the Bell, we can neither open the properties of a connection (i.e. Dial-up/LAN/WLAN), or remove or add a new connection. If you try to open the connection properties, all you get is the message "an unexpected error has occurred" and if you try to delete or add a connection - the system does not respond!

  Surely, this link worked for me. I hope it works for you Bell. Check it out.

• For the last 24 hours, whenever I try to access the Forums from McAfee site, get message, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage."

  I was an active member of this forum for more than a year and was just on the site yesterday.  Yet, for some reason, today, I can not access the site.  I tried clicking on a search link, manually type in the name of the site... nothing works.  All I ever get is the message "Internet Explorer cannot display this webpage";  no error codes... no nothing!

  I have no trouble access to other sites with the exception of the McAfee site.  I know that the site is running.

  UPDATE: for some strange reason, now all of a sudden I can again access McAfee Forum site this morning.  Still have no idea what happened here, but at least that the problem is now solved... I hope!

  Thnks a lot for your time!

• When I try to import bookmarks from XP, I get a message that Firefox has stopped working. I'm not very computer literate so I don't really know what to do

  I want to install Firefox on my desktop. When I try to import my favorites from windows XP Internet Explorer 7, I get a message that says Firefox no longer works. I have limited computer experience, so I don't really know how to approach this problem. I tried the suggestions of help page, IE, reboot with the modules disabled without success. Please help an older person! I used Foxfire successfully on another machine. Thanks Jim

  If you have problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
  
  Like that you also preserve any sort you did in Internet Explorer with favorites.

  • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML: file > import and export
  • Import the HTML file in Firefox: bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import HTML: from a file

• I can get some future Web sites and others do not. When I try to connect to any site, I get this message and cannot connect

  The secure connection failed

  An error occurred during a connection to mail.yahoo.com. The peer certificate has an invalid signature. (Error code: sec_error_bad_signature)

     The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
     Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
  

  The most common reason for the 'sec_error_bad_signature' many sites seems to be the shield of Web of Avast. Web Shield intercepts your navigation and filter, but to filter sites secure, it has "fake" certificates for Firefox. Avast have set Firefox to rely on its false certificates, but which seems to fail on a regular basis.

  To test this theory, try disabling scanning of encrypted sites. I saw these steps in another post:

  1. Open the Avast dashboard on an affected system.
  2. Select settings in the left side menu.
  3. Adopt a Protection Active.
  4. Click on customize next to the Web Shield.
  5. Uncheck the option "Enable HTTPS analysis", and then click ok

  If that solves the problem, but you want to filter encrypted communication, you need to import the Avast! signature in Firefox Certificate Manager of certificates, References tab.
