Windows XP prevents me from installing the new hardware as my Canon camera and memory card reader.

original title: problem with new hardware

last week, windows xp prevented me from installing new hardware, namely a canon digital camera and a memory card reader. Although the system recognizes the material into the machine, when you are looking for auto install it asks me for the service pack 3 cd, which I did not. I never had problems, install new hardware before. Any ideas why this happens?

Hello

· What is the service pack installed on the computer?

· What is the model number of the canon camera?

· What is the exact error message that you receive with error code if any?

If you have installed service pack 3 on the computer then you can try the method and check them off below if it helps:

Change the registry to point to the installation of Windows XP Service Pack 3 files

Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How do I back up and restore the registry in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/322756

a. Click Start, click Run, type regedit in the Open box and then click OK.

b. find the following registry key:

c. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup

d. in the right pane, right-click ServicePackSourcePath, click on edit, type % windir%\ServicePackFiles, and then click OK.

  • Upgrading laptop with ssd. Can I use a Windows 7 system image to install the new ssd?

    Bought nww laptop with Win 7 Home Premium 32-bit and the other pre-installed software. No records have been provided. I want to replace the hard drive with ssd. No other changes. I can create a system image on a dvd and physically swap the drives. I can then install Win 7 using the system image, I created? What other software (Microsoft and elsewhere)? If this is not the case, how can I do without having to buy new software?

    You can clone the installation for the SSD, provided that the SSD is large enough to accommodate the installation to be cloned.

    See http://www.ssdfreaks.com/content/664/how-to-clone-hdd-to-ssd-with-windows-7s-own-software or (easier) use a trial version of Acronis True Image Home 2012.

    Note that, immediately after cloning, you must stop and unplug the original installation. The disc can be reconnected once the DSS started successfully.

  • Install the new motherboard on my HP computer and cannot activate my license of Windows XP Media Center 2005.

    My original motherboard has been damaged, I had bought a very new and different motherboard to fix the problem.

    Windows does not allow activation because I imagine that the key is already used by my original activation.  The system does not have same me to log in windows.

    Yesterday, I spoke with Microsoft staff by phone and they told me that the license is linked to the original HP motherboard and so they could not reactivate my license and I have to get a new license.

    I thought that the XP license was perennially valid as long that you have kept the machine and if you have changed parts, all you have to do is call Microsoft and explain the change to reactivate the license.  I think that change a motherboard that has failed is not reason to not to reactivate my original license.

    I had another license for my MSDN subscription, if it's true that I can not reactivate my license due to change of motherboard, is there a way to get into my MSDN license key and activate without reinstalling windows and all software currently on the machine?

    Change the motherboard on a computer would be as...  Change your body with someone elses.
     
    MSDN licenses are for test purposes.  What is a production machine?

  • HP EliteBook 8440p: Best boot option after installing the new hard drive and put to memory.

    I just installed the new hard drive for my laptop and will get the cards of two memory installed tomorrow. I would like advice on what would be the best option to start when the laptop for the first time I'm on fire.

    I have the original Windows HP recovery disk came with the computer.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image on disks created with Macrium Reflect two days ago.

    I also have a recovery disc and a system image is created on an external hard drive Seagate two days ago. (I've read mixed reviews on these is currently working as a media of rescue with Win7 Pro).

    I guess if I use the HP recovery disc I would be then just use any system image I prefer, without the recovery disk. Anyone know if it makes a difference at all which method to use?

    bozzle73

    My recommendation would be to restore using the image of MR (Macrium Reflect) you did.

    But then, I used Mr. on all my PCs for years and am a big fan - having had it Miss ever in the years and years of use.

    You will need boot from the boot of MR media (you did that right) and, if you photographed all the required partitions for the operating system, restore it on the new drive should take a few minutes, and when this is done, you reboot and everything should be OK.

    Good luck

    Generally no.
     
    How many memory currently have installed? How did you buy?
    Did you buy exactly the same type, brand, model, etc. ?
     
    Why do you want more memory? Depending on how much you have now, and
    What applications you are running, it may or may not do anything for you. More memory
    is this not better for everyone. This is my standard message on this
    Object:
     
    The amount of RAM you need to good performance is * not * a
    unique situation for all. You get good performance if the amount of
    RAM you have prevents you from using the file page in a meaningful way, and
    It depends on what applications you are running. Most of the people a typical range running
    Enterprise XP applications find that somewhere around 512 MB
    works well, others need more. Almost everyone will see poor performance
    with less than 256 MB. Some people, especially those who do things
    as modification of large photographic images, can see an improvement in performance by
    adding even more 512 MB - sometimes much more.
     
    If you currently use the page file significantly, more memory
    will reduce or eliminate the use and improve your performance.
    If you do not use the pagefile significantly, it will make more memory
    nothing for you. Reach
    WinXP - 2K_Pagefile.zip and monitor your use of the page file. Who should
    give you a good idea of more memory can help and if so, how
    lots more.

    You have 35% of your hard drive free. It's disk space, also called
    storage. It is not memory, what is RAM. Adding memory will not make
    any changes to the available disk space.

  • Satellite L630-10R - cannot install the new display driver

    I wanted to update my display driver, so I removed the 'old', but now I can not install new, when I start the Ati catalyst Wizard there is no display driver must be installed, I can only install the new installation manager. In addition, my graphics card has been recognized as HD 5145 by windows and is now recognized as HD 4500 Series.

    How I can install the new drivers?

    Hey,.

    Why you wanted to update the display driver? Have you had any problems?

    Well, I also put t know why you are not able to install the display driver, but where did you downloaded the current version? Toshiba page or the ATI site?
    I recommend you to download the drivers of Toshiba page only because pilots are pre-tested by Toshiba.

    What operating system is installed?
    Usually, you can also install the drivers manually through the Device Manager. This is why open Device Manager, select the graphics card and choose update drivers. Then use advanced installation where you can choose the driver directory yourself.

    Are their accounts 'Administrator' or 'Standard' user level?

    If they are directors of the machine, and then create a new Admin account (only you know the password) and then lower their Standard user accounts. If they attempt to install programs now it should be prompted to enter the Admin password that they won't.

    User accounts - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2663817

    Also see http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/299-user-account-control-uac-change-notification-settings.html for info UAC - and adjust the required level.

    If their accounts are accounts administrator and for some reason must be a competent user, then will probably be able to undo everything you put up anyway.

    Hi jamesgillwn,

    1. when exactly you get this error message?
    2. what disc do you use to reinstall?
    3. What is the exact error that appears when you try to start?
    4. at what point of the installation you get the error message?

    After researching the error 0x8007000D code is essentially due to file corruption and a problem with the drive itself.

    First check if you have scratches or dust on the disc and clean the surface and try again.

    To check if the disk is wrong, you will need to copy the contents of the DVD to the hard drive and try to install using that.

    Try the steps from the following link:

    Error message when you try to install Windows Vista by using the DVD drive on the computer: "Windows cannot install required files".

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/930984

    Note: When you perform the installation, you will lose the data, make sure that you need to backup your data before you perform the installation.

    You cannot uninstall a running operating system.  The best you can do is wipe the hard drive and start over, but which will also remove all programs and documents.
