Why my Windows 8 to run my old Kodak AiO printer successfully?

It worked great for a few months then quit work partially...! I played with him and can 't get any where with him? my computer says that it ' s probably just too old and MS won ' t take it anymore... It's old but works very well over 6 years, when he was working... anyone have a solution for this? I'm all ears

Hello

Are you sure that your computer has not upgraded to version 8.1?

Unless you have disabled the Windows updates, he has probably done automatically...

This caused all my computers\printers stop working...

If you still have 'COMPUTER' on your desktop, it's win 8...

If you have a 'THISPC', is winning 8.1...

You have two options... Try your CD... which is what I use for an old Lexmark printer...

Or go to Kodak and see if they have something available for Win 8\8.1...

With my Lexmark, wouldn't a normal uninstall\reinstall... He'll just say 'Already installed', or would try to install a 2nd printer...

Here's what I had to do and may be necessary with a driver Win 8...

(1) turn on and connect your printer... This must be done of this once so he could appear in devices and printers... Otherwise, all I get with my machine is the Lexmark fax, and therefore, you can't "remove" the printer.

(2) once the printer is visible in devices and printers, physically pick up...

(3) ' REMOVE' the printer Lexmark and Lexmark Fax (if you have one) in devices and printers.

(4) to stop the print spooler in the Panel "Services"... Administration tools... Services

(5) uninstall the software\drivers... Doing this, I had two safety messages popup Windows Firewall to printer communication 'allowing '... I selected "allow."

I then found with two printers in the printer preferences...

I started and not the area 'Shared' on the first message... Only one printer this time...

(6) at the Lexmark uninstall, Reboot prompt.

(7) after the reboot, STOP the spooler to print again.

(8) reinstall software\drivers... I used XP SP3 and Vista, the various attempts, and both worked Compatibility Mode... Connect the printer to the top when you are prompted by Setup.

(9) unhook the printer again and restart. Bidirectional support should be enabled, and the setting does not stick if the printer is hooked... You must restart to clear the air before the next step.

(10) to restart and two-way supported. To do this, go to devices and printers and select "Printer properties", and then on the "PORTS" tab The box is near the bottom.

(11) set the preferences of the printer you are using, if no and it's ready to go.

  • Windows 7 compatibility with an old photo aio 922 printer printer

    Hey, just bought a new laptop with windows 7 installed and I have problems with the use of my old Dell photo AIO printer 922. I did a little research into it without success I might add. Dell support service is practically nonexistent. Anway, I think I need to install a driver for my old printer compatible with the new windows operating system.

    I went to the Dell Web support and found that the only drivers they have on this printer are Windows Vista and XP.

    In short, I would like to know if Dell will be unploading a new driver that will make this printer compatible with Windows 7, or if there is already a driver for windows 7 or if Dell will publish a new driver for windows 7.

    If this is not the case, my options will be dark, and I'll be forced to buy a new printer.

    Look forward to hearing back someone who has any suggestions.

    Phil

    Hey Rick,.

    Bravo for this buddy.

    I followed the instructions you have suggested and found that they worked at a T.

    But just a note to someone who has a similar problem in the future. After you download the driver from Dell, you will need the disk that you used to install the printer in the first place. Also, I found that it was better to download the 64-bit of Windows Vista installation.

    I don't know if my comments will be of no help to people with a similar problem.

    Once again, thank you Rick for advice.

  • Error message: "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you are using", when you try to run an old ms - based back program in Win-7 Ultimate 64 bit.

    Original title: program compatibility Application Applications App Apps game games Legacy Crash crashes Hang hangs

    I get this message when you try to run an old MS-DOS - based program in Win-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are using. Check your computer system information to see whether you need a x 86 (32 bit) or x 64 (64-bit) version of the program and then contact the software publisher. »

    I understand that I am under a 64 bit OS, but is it possible to get this program to run? I was wondering if anyone has tips :)

    Hi Bcopeland,

    Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    Based on the information, you are trying to install and use an old ms - dos program based in Windows-7 Ultimate 64-bit.

    The problem is a software that was created for Windows 95, 98, and Windows XP has no way to work correctly with an operating system that didn't even exist when the software was written. However, the error message you get normally means that you have a 32-bit software that you are trying to install on a 64-bit system.

    You can check the compatibility of the program with Windows 7, in the Compatibility Center.

    Compatibility Center

    If the program is not compatible, then you try to install and run the program in compatibility mode.

    a. click right on the program.

    b. click Properties.

    c. click on the tab compatibility.

    d. Select run this program in compatibility mode and select Windows Vista or whatever to use the system, the program was executed successfully.

    Here is an article that gives you more information on this:

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    If the problem persists, you can get in touch with the software vendor to see for the latest version of the program to use the same system of 64-bit Windows 7.

    Hope the helps of information.

    If you need assistance in the future to resolve any issues related to Windows, post your query and we will be happy to help you.

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system.

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.

  • Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

    (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

    Here's the situation:

    I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

    Question:

    The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

    Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

    (Will do that if it is not legal.)

    Thank you

    Skip

    Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

    You can move the windows on a new computer

    If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

    If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

  • Why not Windows Media Player 11 does not recognize w4a files in the library list more.

    I have Windows XP Pro (SP3) with Windows Media Player 11. I had a virus wipe my hard drive (everything has been updated) and after reinstalling and updating everything, it no longer recognizes the w4a files, but it automatically plays them the OMP 11 if I click on the file in Windows Explorer.

    Before the accident, all the files on my computer w4a was included in the library. Now the entire albums, as well as individual songs are missing. In fact, now NO w4a file is listed. So my question is, why does Windows Media Player 11 recognize the w4a files?

    Neil

    Hello

    Method 1: I suggest you try the steps from the link below and check if it helps.

    a. close Windows Media Player.
    b. find the file of database on the computer that contains the entries of your library. In general, the library database file (CurrentDatabase_219.wmdb) is located in the following directory:
    (Drive :) Users/xxx(the user name)/Appdata/local/Microsoft/Media Player
    c. right click on the file and then click Rename.
    d. rename the file by changing its file .bak extension.
    e. start the player. When you do so, a new database of library file is created.
    f. press F3 on your keyboard to open the add to Library dialog box search for computers.
    g. click the Browse button to search for a folder on your computer that contains digital media files. Specify the location of the folder in the box look in.
    h. click on the search button.
    The player will search for digital media files and playlists in the folder you specify and add to your library. If you have your files and playlists stored in different folders on your computer, you may need to search for files several times, by specifying a different folder every time.

    Method 2:
    You may need to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player.
    Here's how:
    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. exit Windows Media Player.
    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player and then click OK.
    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.
       Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.
    d. restart Windows Media Player.
    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Hope this information is useful.
