• "My external hard drive does not appear in Windows Explorer and cannot open 'Help and Support', an error message" Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing.

  Original title:

  Everything was fine until yesterday. Juice now, when I plugged the external HD into the USB port it does not appear in the 'my computer' window. It is recognized by the computer as it is present on the list of the "Disk Clean Up" and it also appears when I click on ' Safe Remove Hardware ' on the taskbar. But if she does not appear in the 'my computer' window I can't work with it or don't even know what it I have arquived in it.

  Trying to find a solution, I realized that same 'information system' to 'System tools' is also not available. Pops up a window saying that "Windows cannot open help and Support because a system service is not ongoing enforcement. " To resolve this problem, start the service named help and Support '. OK, I tried to open 'Help and Support' ' Start Menu ' and the same window appeared again to "not have a system service that runs". I don't know what her soul precisely and I have not the slightest idea of what I need to do to correct this 'disappearance' of Service 'system '. There is nothing without the appearance of HD in the window of thw work? Everything else works fine and the calculation is virus-free. What should I do?

• Windows can't open add printer. Access is denied.

  I have a Windows 7 HP Pavilion Elite.  The printer that I have connected to it, a HP Photosmart D7360 worked OK for a few days until what I tried to connect it to the network.  In the House, either XP or Vista laptops do not have to connect to it.  I think I ruined somehow with permissions... I also uninstalled the printer...  Now, I can't even reinstall the printer.  The error message is: Windows can't open add printer.  Access is denied.  Help!
  How regain access so that I can re - install the printer?

  Beginning
  Run
  rundll32 printui.dll /il

  If not work

  runas / user: compturnam\admini "rundll32 printui.dll, PrintUIEntry /il.

  How to receive the permissions it ruins I have no idea--> I guess your just using one account - no changes? (your not trying to add the printer via a limited right account) Computer nerd who serves the grannies

• Windows can't open add printer. Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1)

  When I try to "Add a printer" in the Panel in Windows 7, I have "Windows can't open add printer." Impossible operation completed (error 0x000000c1). »

  I uninstalled all the other printer drivers (I'm pretty sure. How can I know?).

  It's an all-in-one HP Officejet Pro 8600, and I can use the scanner very well. I can't add the printer.

  Thanks for responding!

  I tried several solutions and searched many forums. This has actually been a problem for some time now, and I do not know what facilities of printer driver broke.

  I did put a lot of thought into it and just posted stuff to the network and printed one of my other computers. It became a problem recently, when I was too lazy to get up and turn on one of the other computers. :-) I then decided that I just needed to fix it.

  I read all the posts I could find for each version of Windows treats this problem and tried each of them. I removed all the old drivers (at least I think I did. I couldn't find anybody would say, 'Here are the drivers installed.'). I downloaded the new drivers from HP. I edited the registry. I went to the folder/Windows/System32/Spool/something and deleted all. I searched all references to Lexmark (my old printer) and deleted.

  In any case, last night my boot sector failed, so I ended up reinstalling Windows. I just finished now, and the printer works fine, now.

  No,

  PS I'm sorry that this thread will be of no use to any person responsible research. I found a lot of them, too.

• "Printer cannot be installed because the Windows Print Spooler Service is not running"

  For my new Dell V313w printer installation CD will not run.  I have a laptop Dell Inspiron E1705 with XP SP 3.  I have disabled the firewall temporarialy.  I use AVG 9 free antivirus.  By the fast installation in place, I have not attached the printer to my laptop or plugged.

  Lexmark printer drivers change structure dependence, so if you uninstall one, you have to fix things.

  Read this page and take particular note of the paragraph that begins,'If you have a Lexmark printer, these additional steps may be necessary... ". "

  I suspect that after you do all the steps, including the dependence of the spooler setting, you should be able to go to the control panel > add or remove programs and uninstall all remaining Lexmark software.

  Once you do all this, restart the computer before you try to install your new printer.
