  • LaserJet P1006 cannot uninstall the driver to reinstall

    Cannot get Windows to recognize the P1006 8.1.  It worked fine in Windows 8.

    So when I try to uninstall the driver, I see that the driver is not listed in "Programs and features", or the printer is in "Printers" in the Panel.

    How can I uninstall the driver to reinstall if it does not appear anywhere?

    Thank you

    Rich S.

    Hi RichS_

    It seems that the print driver usb support is not fully install correctly.

    We will have this resolved yet.

    See if the printer will print a material as self-test.

    While the printer is turned on, open and close the lid quickly five times.

    It should display a page with black lines on it.

    I would like to know if it printed?

    With the printer still connected to the computer, return to Device Manager and see what it shows listed for the printer. Example, another unknown device, under universal bus controllers does show the usb printing support?

    Let me know.

    Try to enter the computer, windows, program files or program files x 86, hp, laserjet p1006 to see if it is listed. If it is not open the folder and run the full uninstall from there after disconnecting the usb cable.

    Reinstall the driver downloaded again.

    Let me know all this, so I can help you better.

  • Cannot uninstall the old program, reinstall, or remove the folder

    I bought this home edition of XP used from Lady in my building.  His father-in-law was.  It has the older version of mozilla firefox here since 2009.  In the Panel of control-add/remove programs-it will not uninstall.  I tried to click the icon for it and it will not open.  I tried to delete the file and receive error message: access is denied.  I went on the site and can not download the latest version either.  What should I do now?  It does not close also.  It restarts after said save setttings and stop.

    You bought a computer with a preinstalled operating system or just the OS and put it on a computer that you have ever had?

    Search for malware:

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    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. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -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.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Cannot locate the network after reinstalling Vista

    I just had to reinstall vista (based on the recommendation of the forum do how can I install/uninstall anything one way). Now I can't connect to the internet, or my network. I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.

    It seems that I reinstalled the network adapter - at least when I started there was no category "network adapters" in the Device Manager, and now he has one with Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller under it.

    Thanks to a different compurter I downloaded the thing Dell told me to download when I typed in my Service tag.

    Also, I downloaded and installed the service packs 1 and 2 since for Vista, since I knew that they were on my orginal OS.

    In looking at the network and sharing Center, it seems that network discovery is turned off.  I tried to turn it on, but nothing happens.

    Any ideas on what to try next?

    In addition, I don't know if it's relevant or not, but when I reinstalled my OS, I thought everything would be gone, but the memory is always at the same level as it was before resettlement.

    Much obliged,
