Why my windows ask me to upgrade my printer to a USB 2.0 port?

I run Windows XP on three computers with all HP laser printers connected through USB 1.x ports.  Whenever the printer sits idle for a longer period of time (don't know what it is) the printer does not print.  Then I turn the printer off and back on again and then it will print and give me the message that this printer could function more quickly via a USB 2.0 port.  None of the PC have a connected USB 2.0 port.  This process is then repeated at least 3 times a day.

I tried to use the printer utility and reset to the default printer and the message continues to rise, so I don't think it's a matter of HP.  This issue just started a couple of months.

Any who have the same problem or have a resolution that they tried?  Thanks in advance.

1 X USB controller is old, why not add a USB 2.0 card...

Or, try device mgr, highlight controller, R.click USB top, select "update driver".

You're drivers may be outdated...

  • Why tech Windows asking to enter "essoc?

    Someone called who pretends to be a Windows tech and telling me that my computer sends message to them, that I am infected with multiple viruses. They had a strong Indian accent and I acted dumb and would not comply with their demands to open the CMD box and enter "essoc" then press ENTER. Sounded very fishy then left hanging. This in some way give them access to my computer? Is that a different type of scam? If this is the case, hope that it's posted around.

    essoc is not a valid Windows XP or command file. Maybe you're wrong.

    Yes, it's a scam and MS strives to educate consumers on this page...

  • Firefox asked me to upgrade my sound system & in the process, I have installed a Zombie and I can't uninstall it in Windows 7 via my control panel. Prva Nice

    Firefox asked me to upgrade my sound system & in the process, I have installed a Zombie and I can't uninstall it in Windows 7 via my control panel. I expected more of Firefox as a privacy feature!

    Sorry to hear about this, you should always beware of the pop-ups - never open or install anything, unless it is on the official website. Firefox has built-in features (and extensions that you need to find and install) to protect your privacy and security, but all users must still be careful with their browsing habits. You can report malicious links to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center here: http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx

  • Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool not doing anything to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    original title: WHY Windows Update keep up to date USELESS of Windows Defender and installation USELESS malware remover?

    I'm a computer technician who makes a TON of virus remove money from Windows computers.  Two-thirds of my tasks of repair involving the elimination of viruses from Windows and trying to fix the Internet Explorer, the worst browser known to humanity.

    I have a question about Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool.  These are two programs entirely worthless, evidenced by the fact that computers with them installed still get infected of all viruses, Trojan and rootkit out there.  Clearly, if these two programs of malware Microsoft has done anything to protect your computer, it would have been without having to release still a THIRD tool antivirus, "security essentials" for Microsoft.   I'm not complaining — the way Microsoft Windows absorbs malware like a sponge, put a lot of money in my bank account. Please keep doing what you're doing... however...

    My question is, given that Windows Defender and the malicious software removal tool doing nothing to protect against malware, why Windows Update keep harassing upgrade us on a regular basis?

    Windows defender is not an antivirus program, it is designed to protect against spyware.

    If you don't like them, so do not use them.

  • Why Windows asked to format a blank DVD when I try to paste some content copied in it?

    Original title: DVD DL

    I have about 14 hours. the video that I burned on DVD - DL (6) (and saved in the folder) using my video editing software.

    I want to copy/paste again blank DVD + R DL rather than wait for the 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It takes to burn using my software.

    I insert a burned disc, click on copy, then insert a disc DVD + R DL Virgin and dough, and the computer says I need to format the drive until I can copy over it.

    If I am able to write to the disc on the same computer, why can't copy and paste without formatting? I took the disk already in the right format so I am able to burn on it.

    Welcomed ideas on what is happening.

    Normally, your burning software will take care of the formatting.  In this case, Windows asks the process.  By formatting the disk, the computer will be able to recognize data.

    Hello

    It seems to me that the Installer Search AdobePDF.dll.

    If so, then when it asks you to insert the CD of Vista to find AdobePDF.dll,

    go to the AdobePDF.dll_64 of Data1. CAB file that is included in the Adobe install the files on the disc.

    Copy the file on your system and rename AdobePDF.dll and point the installer of this file.

    I bought the software update Window 7 Ultimate. I followed the instructions on the box:

    Click the Start button

    In the search box, type Windows Anytime Upgrade

    Click Windows Anytime Upgrade and clide enter an upgrade key.

    Yet, there is no link that says enter an upgrade key. There is only a link to the site Web microsoft talks Windows 7.

    I downloaded the Windows Upgrade Advisor. I did everyting that he told me to do. He checked that the computer was eligible for an upgrade (Toshiba Satellite running Vista).  I tried again with the Windows Anytime Upgrade again. There is still no link to enter the upgrade key.

    What should I do to get to the place to enter the upgrad key?
