• Win 7 does not recognize that I am connected to my home wireless network.

  Recently, I upgraded my desktop and my laptop at home to Win 7. I'm trying to set up a home network, but on my laptop, I can't change my home network location. Even though my laptop is connected to the internet via my wireless router, Windows don't think that I'm connected to a network. When I click on "connect to a network", it shows that I am connected to my wireless router. When I try to set up a home network on the laptop, it tells me I need to change the network location of the Public at home, but since he did not think that I am connected, it will not allow to do me this.  I searched the internet and worked through it for hours, but can't seem to find a solution to this problem. Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

  Ideas:

  • You have problems with programs
  • Error messages
  • Recent changes to your computer
  • What you have already tried to solve the problem

  I had this same problem.  I have a home group on my desktop running win 7 64 bit.  My laptop (win 7 64 bit) could not connect because the internet connection was showing pubic hair and I couldn't change it.  Here's what I did.  I deleted all my networks and groups off the laptop computer.  I restarted my laptop.  On my desktop, I went into Control Panel, home group and consulted my password.  I also need my wep key of wireless network.

  To better understand, my wireless network name is cleopatraiz

  On my laptop, I went into the wireless network connections through the status bar at the bottom right which displays all networks wireless scope.  I clicked on my wireless (cleopatraiz) and it prompted for the wep key.  I entered that and then I went into newwork & Sharing Center, was now showing my active network as cleopatriz, I clicked on choose home group and sharing options and joined using my password of the Group House of desktop computers.  It worked.

  Hello Graboots,

  Thank you for your message.  You can plug your printer on another computer, in order to exclude the possibility that the problem lies in the printer?  You can try using a different cable, for this rule as well.  Since it is a question of recognition, we remove the external devices before software troubleshooting.  Do you get anything when you plug the printer (ie. a tinkle of connection)?  Please let us know, we are looking forward to hear back on your part.
  See you soon

• my printer is a HP CP1700 and Windows 7 does not recognize that it is able to print 2 sides

  I just bought a Dell Inspiron.  It works very well except for my printer.  My HP color inkjet CP1700 printer is able to print 2 sides.  Windows 7 does not recognize that it is able to print both side and does not give me the option to enable printing two sides.

  Did you download the drivers from the HP website or just use Windows Update? Try using the software from here.

• Windows Update does not recognize that Windows Vista SP2 is NOT installed.

  I have Windows Vista x 64 with SP1 and I defined updates on automatic.  However, it does recognize that the SP2 is not installed...  I'm afraid to try to install it manually after reading all the trouble with SP2 on this site.  Could you please tell me why the updates fails to recognize the SP2 is not installed and I have to do to solve it?  I'm not a master IT person, I just want my computer to be as up-to-date as possible.

  Thanks for the advice and any help I can get.

  Hi Alamogordo,

  Welcome to Microsoft Windows forums!

  Automatic updates would have tried to install sp2 and the installation was corrupt and failed.  So it will not try to reinstall. We have to uninstall sp2 to view update history and try to download and install manually.

  1. click on Start to type windows update in the start search box and click on enter

  2. click on view history of update and uninstall sp2 (kb948465)

  3. use the below given link to download sp2 (download to your desktop)

  4 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=891ab806-2431-4d00-afa3-99ff6f22448d & displaylang = in & displaylang = in

  Follow these methods before installing sp2

  Method 1

  Try to put your computer in clean boot mode and check if the problem persists. To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows Vista or Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts. This article describes how to solve problems in Windows Vista or Windows 7 by performing a clean boot.

  Steps to put your computer in a clean boot:

  1. click on Start
  2. type msconfig in the Search box and press ENTER.

  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click continue.

  1. in the general tab, click Selective startup.
  2. under Selective startup, clear the Load Startup items check box.
  3. click on the Services tab, select the hide all Microsoft Services check box, and then click disable all.
  4. click on OK.
  5. When you are prompted, click restart.

  Method 2

  Run the system update tool

  System resources, such as file of data, even in the data memory and registry data, can develop inconsistencies during the lifecycle of the operating system. These contradictions may be caused by various hardware failures or can be caused by software problems. In some cases, these inconsistencies can affect the Windows Service store, and they can cause software updates not do not work. The system update tool attempts to resolve these inconsistencies.

  1. open the link http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947821 scroll through Microsoft Download Center where several links under this section.

  2. first link is for 32-bit operating system and the second is 64-bit.

  3. click on the appropriate link, then run it on your computer.

  4. Once completed, try to install sp2 through automatic updates

  5. in the case of a failure to install manually

  NOTE: TURN ON YOUR COMPUTER TO A NORMAL STARTUP AFTER TRYING THE STEPS ABOVE.

  Click Start, in the search box to start, type msconfig and press ENTER.
  Select Normal startup, and then press apply and OK

• Windows 8 does NOT recognize that my Kodak 2650 printer all in one, it is vital to my business that it works

  I don't want to get another printer that says it's compatible with Windows 8, the Kodak printer is only a few years old at best, and worked perfectly with the old laptop Windows 7 which has crashed and burned, so I bought a new laptop Lenovo G50 with Windows 8.  It will not even download the program from the disc supplied with the printer, HELP?

  Hello

  Do not USE the disc... Open it and look for the file "Setup" or "Install"...

  Right-click on it, select Properties, then the compatibility at the top tab.

  In the window that opens, courses down, check for the Compatibility Mode, then select menu Win 7...

  You can also try to download more recent Kodak software\drivers for your model.

  There may be some available specifically to win 8.

  2. I wanted to do some (possible) that your computer is not infected.

  Is there a downloadable file here for your printer...

• After you have installed the Windows updates, my computer does not recognize that there is a disc in the DVD - ROM thing

  I had this problem for weeks and only recently someone told me that it is perhaps for this reason.
  I tried several things to fix, and one of those who created an error where when I clicked on drive E in Windows Explorer, it looks like:

  E:\ application not found

  So, in the end, I wiped my computer and everything on it and rebooted again.

  IT TOOK FOUR HOURS.

  So, I've set up the computer as I did when I got it 2 years ago, and everything was fine. I could insert a disc, it reads that and I was able to install my game, no problems.

  Now, I have reset everything up, and there are more than 2000 updates to update installed. So I did.

  SO NOW, after all this, which took another TWO HOURS - he does not all disks again.

  I play the Sims 3 - fiercely - and so I tried to re - install all my expansion packs, but it does not now.

  I DON'T want to make that whole process again and install all my games before updating Windows, because I believe, even if I did that, once I've updated, I can't play the game, because my laptop does not recognize that the game disc is there.

  Help, please.

  I spent so much money on these games, and I love them! I don't have the money to buy a new computer.

  I have a Lenovo Ideapad

• My laptop does not recognize that anything that is connected to the USB ports

  Help, please. My laptop does not recognize that anything that is connected to the USB ports.

  Moved from feedback

  Original title: problems with USB ports

  Hi Alba.

  1. who is the operating system installed on the computer?

  2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

  This issue may be caused if one of the following situations arises:

  • The currently loaded USB driver has become corrupt or unstable
  • Your PC requires an update for problems that could conflict with an external hard drive USB and Windows
  • Windows may be missing other problems hardware or software updates
  • Your USB controllers may have become corrupt or unstable
  • External drive can enter selective suspend
  • Your PC motherboard may need updated drivers

  I suggest to connect the USB device to a different USB port and check.

  You can run the Fixit provided in the article and the Coachman.
