Windows XP sp3 has suddenly stopped show all devices in Device Manager.
Found problem when I couldn't put any printer online or can I install a new device. Everything else seems OK with a USB hard drive and modem works fine. Queue Pinter seems to have several printing with no name, but all around 34 bytes which keep coming back when removed.
Hello
1. you receive an error message when you access the Device Manager?
2 have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

b. Locate the print spooler service in the services list and confirm that the status is started. If this is not the case, select the service, and on the Action menu, click Start.
You can also do this from an elevated command prompt window (right click on prompt in the start menu and click Run as administrator) by typing the following command: net stop spooler & net start spooler
(It of actually two commands, "Net stop spooler" and "Net start spooler", came at the same time for that process control Windows both, one after the other).

Original title: Windows Media Center has suddenly stopped being able to see tuners.
I am running Windows Media Center and have a 6 Ceton infinitv tuner connected to my network. Since a few weeks things have worked very well. Now suddenly after installing a faster wifi adapter, I get messages such as unable to find tuner or all tuners are busy... who don't feel like I can always go to the tuner by Explorer or chrome, by typing the address of it and it arises but also shows that it is set on the channels that I am no longer watching. Any ideas on why WMC is suddenly acting when the only thing I did was install an a6200 netgear adapter, nothing has changed.

Windows Live Mail has suddenly stopped working
My Windows Live Mail has suddenly stopped working. I get the error message below. I contacted Time Warner - talked to 3 different technicians, each gave different instructions, of which none has solved the problem. I contacted Microsoft and they said that they do not support Windows Live Mail. I am able to access my e-mail through Time Warner Webmail, but I want to get Live Mail works again. Can anyone help?

I don't think it's something that 'suddenly' happened. Does not support the server you connect to SPA, so if you have this option, you will be not be been able to connect to this server. You may have changed the setting to try to solve another problem?

Windows Media Center has suddenly stopped working...
I hope someone here can help me with this little mystery. Also recently 2 days ago everything worked fine on my Vista Home Premium machine.

There is no error message, no tv, nothing. I click on the button of the tv guide and he says ' n channels are available in the Guide. «Select Configure to reconfigure the guide» When I put in place, try to download latest tv Setup options, but nothing for 10 minutes about the front away from me and tap on Cancel. When I get to the implementation of the guide, I say I want to put up the guide, then it will display the EULA and when I press "I agree" media center will be either crash and restart, or if it does not, he will pick up to... download TV program guide internet connection. I have an internet connection... I am writing on the same machine that I have problems with... so it's not the problem. I use it very often, so I really need to get back to work. Please try to help me. I don't have the money to pay Microsoft for technical support.
'Hi rmetz527,
To access the CBS, you need to run as administrator or connection with the default Administrator account. Please send the newspaper here. Also, did you try to scan for viruses and malware? It appeared that some system files are corrupt. It is preferable to the SFC scan, malware scan, virus analysis and error checking once again in fashion without failure.

My hp psc 1350 all-in-one has suddenly stopped working.
My hp psc 1350 all-in-one has suddenly stopped working. I can no longer open the software by clicking on the icon in the dock.
Sorry, but I thought that I had reported my all-in-one had started working again. Unfortunately, I can't say what went around, because I don't know. I had only a small part of the way towards what we'll fix me it when he started to work again. I remember that there was a step that I have been unable to finish, and when I asked how to overcome this problem, it started working again. I don't even have the chance to follow the final instructions. I would rather know what was wrong and what are the fixed elements, but I'll have to settle for a working machine.

My DVD/CD drive has suddenly stopped working under Windows 7
Ive been using Windows 7 for about 6 months now with on any trouble until recently my DVD drive has suddenly stopped working. Windows detects the drive but when I double click on it in my computer it says please insert disc. I find the drive in Device Manager and windows recognises that there is an error that says:
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might be installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or maybe it's a malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)
I tried to uninstall the drivers in Manager device and rebooted the computer to let auto windows find the driver and reinstall it but to start, I get a message that says:
Device not installed driver software
I know that the drive is fine because it works fine in Ubuntu Linux system he worked great in windows 7, so stopped. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Go to the Web site of the factory, download the driver appropriate for your device. Uninstall the driver that is currently installed and uninstall the device in Device Manager. Reboot... After you restart, you have 1 of 2 options depending on how the software is packed from the manufacturing. (A) put an end to the automatic Windows installation feature and use the downloaded software to take care of it for you... If that's how it is set up to operate or (b) wait for windows to auto-trouvez and try to install the device, and when he asked the pilots to open and extract files downloaded to any location you choose and point the installer of windows in this direction.
