  • Office Jet Pro 8600: after Windows update, not the box tools or utilities 8.1

    Hi, I've updated my software to 8.1.  Had to do it by hand because it does not work automatically.  You have the printer to work, but I don't see the Toolbox or the utility Panel.  Not sure what you call him, but he gave me access to the computer to the printer, Scanner and Fax.  This has been so helpful.

    It seems that this could not be included in the update for win.8?  If this is the case, it will be one in the future?  I'm really bad without him.

    Thanks for any idea,

    Kristi

  • Problem with Windows Update after the new installation of Windows 7 Pro the Lenovo ThinkPad X 200

    I'm trying to do a fresh install of Windows 7 Pro on a Lenovo ThinkPad X 200. The product key is easy to find on the sticker of the ThinkPad. However, the version of Windows is hidden (for example, I can't check that my ThinkPad had originally installed Windows 7 Pro). I was able to install by using a Pro Win 7 SP1 CD ROM I bought for another installation. I used the ThinkPad I was trying to make the new facility on the product key. I was able to activate the Windows 7 Pro using the phone call and my cell phone. I checked the activation! However, I have problems with Windows update. The product key may be a different version of Windows 7. If so, why did it install and activate OK? Y at - it a fix for this problem or I have to buy a new version of Windows 7 Pro? Please note that I have not yet installed all drivers Lenovo ThinkPad as I can't seem to install correctly. Thank you!

    Since the issue is updated to Windows, it is not a product number key.

    Once the Fixit has been downloaded and the system is started in the pure State, check that the native Windows Firewall is now on if a 3rd party firewall has been used previously. Now run the Fixit and choose the default mode. Restart once it's done and see if the system can be connected to the update servers. If he can't, then rerun the Fixit and choose aggressive mode. Turn it back on when he finished the race and updates.

  • Colors in Windows 7 too bright/faded after running Windows Update for the first time (everything was going well after initial installation). See the details.

    I just installed Windows 7 Pro on a HP Pavilion with a HP w2007 20 ". I have had no problem of color first and everything worked fine. The first time I ran Windows Update, it included an optional update called "HP - display - HP w2007 LCD wide screen". That the update "has failed" to install and when I rebooted, my screen had a look very 'neon' - my desktop background, a picture of a tree with a bunch of Red leaves, was very washed out and now most of the leaves were bright red with no visible details. This is obvious everywhere, not only my desktop background (another example... small green circles next to the names of Gmail chat contacts are very bright green, more even than usual). Everything is too bright. I tried the following hotfixes:

    -Manually reinstall the update of the HP screen (it worked this time) and restart - did not work.
    -Reset my monitor to factory setting - has failed.
    -Download and install the latest HP driver for this monitor - did not work.
    -Through: "Control panel-> appearance and personalization-> display-> Calibrate color" and through an assistant color calibration (that's new for Windows 7?). Also, did not work.

    I have the dual-boot of Ubuntu installed on this machine and I think the colors under Linux are always very well, so I think it's a problem with Windows and not the monitor. Because it was working fine before, I would rather try to get everything worked, rather than the update manually the brightness/contrast of my monitor. Any ideas?

    A useful answer, I got on another forum (windows7forum.com). It worked:

    I had this problem too!

    In my case it is also explained by a driver from Windows Update called "nVidia display".

    Fortunately, I figured out how to fix it:

    1. Open Computer Management (start > right click on "Computer" > Manage)
    2. Select "Device Manager".
    3. Select 'show cards '.
    4. Right click 'NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT' (or whatever your video card)
    5. Click 'properties '.
    6. Select the 'Drivers' tab
    7. Click on the button "return to the version.

  • Windows Update not update - have almost tried everything. Time to re - install windows 8?

    Hello

    Recently, I needed to upgrade my computer to microsoft .net framework 4.6 for a programme of work. I decided that I have also download and install all windows updates at this time as well. When I run windows update, it downloads and installs them. Then I restart my pc like he wants me, and he says it configures the changes to my pc. Around 95 percent, he says that he has failed to set up changes to my pc and said that now it is up to them. I tried almost all the solutions on the internet to do this, including:

    Run the tool for troubleshooting Windows Update (the two that included in windows and one located on the forums here, which is supposed to do more things)

    the pc running in clean boot mode

    removal of the download files stored for windows update (suggested by another Web site)

    renamed the folder c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution softwaredistribution.old, that was suggested on this forum

    manually reset the windows update components by opening an elevated command prompt and start/stop bits and wuauserv, appidsvc cryptsvc

    Open a command prompt and running /sfc scannow (it found problems, but has been unable to remedy)

    Open command prompt and used DISM cleaner to repair corrupt files (initially it was not able to repair the corrupted files, however, I did something suggested by another site (I forgot what I did) and then I re-directed command prompt and it said it fixed corrupted files successfully.)

    Despite all these tent, I always get errors. When I run the windows update troubleshooting, the program says that I had this problem but was able to fix it, but whenever I run the troubleshooter it tells me that it has set:

    Windows Update error 0 x 80070490(2016-05-19-T-07_19_40P)

    In addition, when I ran the prompt DISM, files at the beginning, she was unable to fix, but then he said that he set the second test are called:

    Cannot repair the military record [l:36 {18}] "Amd64\CNBJ2530.

    And (this file is similar, but it appears two times in the text of sfc connects, so I figure I should include):

    Of course, I tried just about everything that has been suggested. The only thing I can think to do now is to try to upgrade to windows 10 and if all goes well get rid of this problem, either uninstall windows and then reinstall it 8.

    Another option that someone suggested is to delete my current profile from microsoft on my pc and then create a new one, so get rid of all the corrupt files. thoughts?

    Someone else mentioned that interested to download either the microsoft update agent, which is on another part of this forum, or to download the preparation tool to update microsoft on this forum as well. Thoughts?

    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    -UPDATE

    I went to the microsoft update catalog and downloaded and installed every single update manually. I restarted my pc and set it up correctly and everything seems to be okay. I just downloaded microsoft .net framework 4.6.1 and installed successfully. I am now able to run the program that launched me into this adventure (Manager of nexus mod) together. So anyone out there with this same problem, my advice to you is to search microsoft update catalog in internet explore (it only works with google chrome), type the numbers after the "kb" for each update and then manually download and install updates and then reboot your pc. Good luck to you all.
