• Printer/scanner Epson TX110 cannot install the printer driver

  Control Panel - Add/Remove programs. Details of the printer is displayed.

  Control Panel - printer and faxes - no icon printer not suggesting no driver in place.

  Reinstall using CD product a step only, that is, agree to the terms. Conversations with Epson have not solved the problem.

  Control Panel - Add/Remove programs. Details of the printer is displayed.

  Control Panel - printer and faxes - no icon printer not suggesting no driver in place.

  Reinstall using CD product a step only, that is, agree to the terms. Conversations with Epson have not solved the problem.

  If your second line means that the fax machines and Printers window is empty - NO printer icon - then the immediate cause is that the print spooler service is not running.

  Start the print spooler service as follows:

  Start > run > net start spooler > OK

  If everything works now, then fine.  More that likely, however, the print spooler service stops again.  If it does, the circumstances in which she stops (that is, what do you do when it stops) and all messages in the event viewer (start > run > eventvwr > OK) will help determine the cause.

  Generally, the print spooler service stops because a printer or a pending print job driver is corrupted somehow.  The indications here explain how to clean the printer drivers (necessary before re-installing) as well as all pending print jobs:http://members.shaw.ca/bsanders/CleanPrinterDrivers.htm

• HP CSI Shell has stopped working - cannot install the printer driver

  I just bought a printer LaserJet MFP M127fw Pro, but the installation of the pilot program still crashes. I tried 3 different modes of driver installation: the installation CD install HP Smart (USB) and download online, but I keep getting the same error.
  
  10-15 seconds after I start the driver installation, a pop-up Windows appears, advising me that:
  "HP CSI Shell has stopped working".
  
  I called HP customer care and they post in the computer section of the Support Forums.
  
  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
  
  I have a HP Media Center PC with Windows 7 64 bit.
  
  

  Update:
  
  I tried the feature "Add a printer" windows default in Control Panel, and my printer is finally functional - only when used wireless. However, if I connect the USB cable from my printer, it will be recognized as a different printer and always unsuccessfully installed the drivers for it.
  
  If it works wirelessly, it is good enough for me.

  Hi momo lulamka,.

  1. at the printer works very well under Windows 7 64-bit sooner?

  The compatibility of Windows 7 Center believes that any information on this model of printer there is a possibility that this printer is perhaps not compatible with Windows 7.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/Windows-7/en-us/search.aspx?l=en-us&type=hardware&s=Canon%20pixma%20ip1980

  Method 1

  As a work around you can check if the print spooler service is running on the computer.

  A print spooler is the service that temporarily stores the disk printing hard or in memory until the printer is ready to print.

  You must be logged on as administrator to perform these steps.

  (a) open administrative tools by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type Administrative Tools, and then click Administrative Tools.

  (b) double click Services. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  (c) right click on the print spooler service, and then click Properties.

  (d) under the tab general , next to Startup type, make sure that Automatic is selected.

  (e) if the service is not already running, under Service status, click Startand then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

• Portege M400: Installtion Windows - cannot install the RAID driver

  Hello world
  I installed my original form of the system DVD Toshiba (60 GB partition).
  So, I bought the second system with my notebook (Windows XP Pro OEM PL) and I want to install it on my second partition. When installing WinXP installer asked me about RAID driver on drive A: (I USB floppy drive, so it's no problem)... next step - partitioning - no problem. But when Windows starts to copy files (after select and format partition), ask again on RAID driver disk A: - and that is the problem, because my floppy drive is not present (maybe disable it windows after formatting the partition, I don't know)...
  There is also no results:
  -J' tried to install Windows on USB HDD, but there are blue screen after the first reboot,.
  -J' have tried to compile the RAID driver in driver.cab, this does not (or I did wrong).
  Someone has an idea how to install my second system? It is OEM, and I don't want to lose him.
  .. Sorry for my poor English :)...

  Hello

  After installing the driver RAID you should not make any partition or format the HARD drive.
  If you do this, the RAID driver is deleted and you will get an error.

  So do all the changes on the HARD disk before you install the RAID driver.

• Satellite L300 - cannot install the display driver and chipset

  I downloaded the site Web of Toshiba XP drivers.

  Now I'm getting errors when I try to install. Display drivers and Intel chipset gives me the error:
  "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

  What can I do?

  Hello!

  Are you sure that you downloaded the correct drivers?
  For Satellite L300 are different numbers of models available to check if you have chosen the right way.

  You can also install the drivers manually. Go to Device Manager > right click on the graphics card (or other device) > Update driver

• Cannot install the printer driver - error of access denied

  I have two laptops Inspiron 1545 new running Windows 7 64-bit edition that expose that same question.  I'm trying to get an Epson color Stylus 760 working with them via a USB connection.

  When I join the starting the unit is correctly recognized, but the Epson driver does not install correctly.  If I run Windows Update, the Epson driver is listed as an optional update.  If I select and run the update, it fails with 80070005 error.

  If I go into Device Manager, the printer is listed as a printer USB that does not run as properly as there is no driver.  If I choose "put updated pilot" from the Device Manager, it downloads successfully the driver (even such as mentioned in Windows Update) and when you try to install the driver it comes back with an error "access denied."

  As mentioned previously in this case with two laptops.  In both cases I was logged under an administrator account, but not "the" administrator account.  I have enabled the administrator account and tried to install it through this, but it made no difference.  I tried also to remove and reinstall the device without success.

  The Windows 7 compatibility site said that the printer is compatible with Windows 7 64 - bit edition.

  Hi Shawn,

  In my view, that there is a driver 64 bit Windows 7 according to the guidelines of this site:
  http://www.Epson.com/cgi-bin/store/support/supAdvice.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=Yes¬eoid=147071&type=highlights

  The Epson Stylus Color 760 is a 'built in the Windows 7 driver.

  Nevertheless, I will try your suggestion if Alan does not work.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro M70-113: cannot install Vista graphics driver and lines appears on the display

  Hello

  I have satellite pro m70-113 with ati x 700 graphics card.

  When I installed vista, he installed the default drivers for the x 700 'mobility radeon x 700-microsft Corp.-WDDM '.

  I've updated the display drivers for vista, that released by toshiba 2 days back... but the driver is not updated to the latest version, only the catalyst control center is installed when I ran the update of the driver of toshiba.

  The problem is that whenever I put my laptop in standby or hibernation and resume... the screen shows thin lines vertical/horizontal... and I can't use the laptop... and I have to still put the system to sleep, just to hope that it is not blocking the screen this time...

  This problem is 25% of the time only when resume...

  This problem is not resolved by the update driver for toshiba has released a few days back... as is not installs the drivers (I can't even install the drivers with the option "update drivers" of Device Manager and select file driver update from toshiba.) It says windows find new driver, but could not install the driver... Contact the manufacturer...)

  This snap shows the problem... : http://img360.imageshack.us/img360/2783/12042007366copyod1.jpg

  I updated the driver from an earlier version of catalyst, as it is downloaded from the ati site before that toshiba has released the update... this time it updates some 8. XXX version but the screen problem remains...

  Second, this update of the driver leaves me not sleep my system... the process starts for a sleep, but go back to the locked screen without making sleep ever... so I have no choice to get stuck with the default Windows... drivers having only the problem of the screen... and not the problem of sleep...

  Anyone here with a solution?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I have Satellite M70-159 and I noticed the same thing several times. For most Vista works well but I don't remember cases in which the described problem occurs. I was just curious on M70 Vista and have had no time to intensive testing.

  Anyway, it will be interesting to know if you have already updated the BIOS to the latest version 5.10. If this is not the case to do this and watch carefully if the problem persists.

• Cannot install the printer driver for Photosmart C410a

  I had a problem of analysis to one of my PC, so I deleted all driver HP software, downloaded the full version of the correct software driver for (windows 7 64 bit).

  The installation fails:

  "This registry key does not exist.  It can interfere with the installation.  Continue to proceed at your own risk.

  Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\RocketLife\HP Photo Creations

  Manufacturer: HP

  Windows updates are up-to-date

  Any suggestions?

  Hello Lions99,

  Thank you for your response.  I solved the problem before I saw your suggestion so I telI you what I did and then close this issue.

  It seems that the problem resulted from an uninstall failed HP Photo Creations.   On the recommendation of another user of the forum, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller and run a tool called "junk file cleaning."  That did the trick I think because I then ran the driver full features intall (use Revo just in case) and it worked.

• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.
