XP Home Edition, SP3. Clean install. Printer driver has not been installed. Operation could not be performed.

I searched this problem and what I read it is that it is either due to a failed attempt to install a driver or a driver designed for an earlier version of Windows.

I've never had this problem before, but here are the details.
Clean install of XP Sp3 with all updates installed prior to the installation of the driver.
Brother MFC-490CW downloaded latest driver on the brother support site.
Printer is set up on the WiFi network on IP 10.0.1.2
I created a new Standard TCP/IP Port with the IP 10.0.1.2
I have installed 2 other printers on this network in order to use the printer very well. (Vista and Windows 7)
I get to the very last step on installing printer wizard and click on "Finish".
The pilot progress bar window install window opens for a fraction of a second and closes.
I get the error 'printer driver is not installed. Operation could not be completed.
I tried everything... Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you for using answers Forum.

    The network printer is connected to a XP computer?
    Are either using a 64-bit version of Windows?

    I suggest visiting the manufacturer's Web site to see if they have Windows 7 drivers or at least Vista drivers.

    I want to save data files on desktop with preinstalled Windows XP Home Edition SP3.  I don't have access to an installation disc.   How can I get a?

    You don't need a Windows installation CD in order to backup data files.  What makes you think do you?

    [The light bulb turns]: you're probably trying to install NTBackup.  My advice to you is to forget NTBackup and get a disk imaging or cloning application.  I propose the following actions:

    Acronis True Image Home 
    Paragon backup and recovery home
    Casper 6.0
    Norton Ghost (used to be the standard for imaging applications, but I haven't used recent editions; if you really want to use a Symantec product, read the reviews on Amazon)

  • How to uninstall Windows XP Home Edition SP3?

    Specifications:

    Sony VAIO, XP Home Edition SP3 computer - if any other information is needed, please let me know.

    --------

    The main problem is that after the update via Windows Update from SP2 to SP3 has caused the USB ports to stop working. I tried everything that is listed on this Web site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249, contacting Sony, System Restore (for some reason, I did not define a restore point before installing SP3!), unplug the computer for a few hours (which works for about 10 seconds after putting a flash drive into a USB port, but then the USB port stops working) , research in the folder where the update is supposed to be in (but he's not here), looking in Add/Remove Programs, remove registry, searched files via Google answers, etc., etc.

    Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    You do not use / have you used "Registry cleaners" (e.g., Registry Mechanic;) Registry Booster; CCleaner)?

  • Bootsect.dat file is corrupt, NTLDR is missing/compressed on x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition Sp3 and Ie8

    I have a x 86 pc with Windows XP Home Edition SP3 and IE8.

    While preparing for a possible update for Win 7, I thought repartioning and "multiboot" my HARD drive.

    I tried to get WinXP operating as best I can.  I was also check out how to use the Windows Recovery Console to reinstall WinXP and transfer files to a clean reinstall.

    Found while searching "All boot paths" to Start\Run\msconfig\BOOT. INI that one boot path has been highlighted with errors indicating that "file is corrupt because playing a disc error has occurred" and that NTLDR is missing or corrupt.  In fact, it is blurred.  It points to "Recovery Console Microsoft Windows/cmdcon.  I've not used the Recovery Console, ever.

    I have a desktop Gateway 5310 S (detail) and no original XP disc, apparently.

    I have, but never used, a 4ea. set of recovery CD as of 12/05/05 I need to have created after purchase.

    I also had many, odd, problems that come and go, including worth displaying various websites, Yahoo Home Pages and E-mail that keep switch to compatibility mode or outright deletion.  The video and audio on Hulu and video-on-demand online services are always out of sync.  I have problems with editing posts on sites like this even if I can edit my profile fine pages.

    This particular set of problems started recently and very suddenly, from one day to the other.  It was after he worked actually pretty good for a change.

    I don't know how long the boot.ini file has been damaged, I actually discovered by chance.

    I can also not to reinstall some programs such as Family Tree Maker 2005 and 2008, when it was suggested to me by ancestry.com to uninstall/reinstall.

    I have the latest Java and Adobe Flash Player.  I've defragged and disc verified my discs.

    I used CCleaner to delete temp and unwanted files per day.  I ran Hitman Pro, MBAM, MBAR, MSE and SAS several times without detected virus or malware.

    And, as I mentioned above, I have problems with the editor of this site, right now.  Sometimes it just freezes and I have to leave to clear.  Other times it's duplicating entire sentences.  He also flip/flip flops between a Publisher full page and, as now, a half page window of the editor on the half left of the page.

    Suggestions from what people you can come would be greatly appreciated.  This gets really annoying.

    Thank you

    When you check the paths in the boot.ini file, and the recovery console is installed, you will always get an error message indicating that the startup path is not valid.

    If the recovery console is actually corrupted just to uninstall, you can reinstall or burn a cd with the recovery console.

    go here for instructions on deleting the recovery console.

    Here's how to make a bootable xp recovery console cd

    Courtesy of JoseIbarra

    You need start by booting in XP using a CD Recovery Console, you can do (no XP media required) and run a chkdsk with error correction command enough times until it is clean and if it does not, you can create a new boot.ini file (this is usually one of two things).

    Here's how:

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Boot into the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD.

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget what you have (no XP media required).

    This is not the same as recovery disks that might have come with the acquisition of the system store.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    RC. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.thecomputerparamedic.com/?p=8    (courtesy of Daavee)

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    When you install ImgBurn, DO NOT install the Ask toolbar.

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/proddocs/en-us/recovery_console_cmds.mspx?mfr=true

    A good idea before you start things must first verify the integrity of your file system by using the chkdsk command.

    In the command prompt window, run the chkdsk command on the drive where Windows is installed to try to fix any problems on the afflicted player.

    Running chkdsk is fine, even if he finds no problem.  It won't hurt anything to run it.

    Assuming your boot drive is C, run the following command:

    CHKDSK C: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.

    It may take a long time for chkdsk complete or they seem to be "stuck".  Be patient. If the HARD drive led blinks always, chkdsk is something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    You must run chkdsk/r again until it finds no error to correct.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    You have not to set the BIOS to boot the disk HARD since the CD won't be.

    ===============

    as for the other problems:

    did you use Registry cleaners?

    These can damage your system

    You seem to be free of infection, it would seem that a part of your process cleaning has removed a necessary file.

    ===============

    Checkdisk with parameter/r should be run. and run it again until there is no error.

  • Update XP Home Edition SP3 for XP Professional SP2. It's less work to do an upgrade?

    I am running XP Home Edition SP3 and loaded Visual 2005 and find the tutorial that I use for Visual c# 2005 must have XP Professional SP2 (but I don't know SP3 would also work) and I don't want to have to do whold many other changes.  Am I right that installing a version upgrade is the best option?  Any suggestions?  The speed of machine and disk space is fine.

    What Daave said... more

    It is difficult nowadays to find the installation CD of infringement for any version of XP, so before you go to eBay or a similar place to find an XP Pro upgrade CD, really tried your tutorial and it had fail or are you just read the 'minimum requirements' from somewhere?

    If you have not tried to run on your system, I suggest to try this before doing anything else.  If you have failed, what was the specific error, without paraphrasing, that was displayed? There may be a workaround solution that someone here might suggest.

    I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

    The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

  • XP Home Edition, SP3. Active window becomes inactive, no clicks, then becomes active after 5-10 seconds.

    I use XP Home Edition, SP3.  When I'm working in an active window (say, MS Word), the window has become suddenly idle for 5 to 10 seconds and then becomes active again.  Everyone knows about this problem?  I thought it might be a problem of Outlook and run the detect and repair command, but that did not help.

    I had the same problem except that it was on Windows 7.  Well, it would not matter what OS is in my case.

    Symptoms: Everything seemed normal until I opened Outlook 2007 and had messages in my Inbox.  Once the messages have arrived in my Inbox outlook began to lose his accent all ~ 5 seconds. I would try to compose an email and he would lose his orientation (became inactive) for about 3-5 seconds then it would possibly come crazy me backwards.

    Solution: Open the the Task Manager and sorted in addition to the processor.  Open outlook and left he opened in such a way that I would be able to display the Task Manager and Outlook-by-side.  Click outlook so that it had the focus.  With outlook open, I started noticing that whenever he would lose his focus a process called TMAS_OS.exe jump upward.  I searched my computer for the file "TMAS_OS.exe" and found its location in Trend new application called "Titanium".  Apparently, it is associated with a software component plug-in 'purchase of Outlook outlook extension support?' and it seemed to go nuts.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the app and now everything is fine.  It drove me crazy and it was the first time that the trend has never made me heartache.

    UPDATE: the issue made ugly reappeared the next day.  Apparently, initial installation, antispam behaves but on reboot antispam titanium going nuts once more.  It may be an incompatibility between the add-in (AntiSpam) TMA of trend microphones for Outlook 2007 running on a Windows7 64-bit operating system?

    For now I have disabled the supplement product TMA Titanium Internet Security 2011 trendmicro until they found a solution.  I'll just have to idetify and deal with any spam myself.

    To turn off the snap TMA:

    1. close Outlook, and then open the main console for Trend Micro Titanium Internet Security
    2. click on the 'Settings' button at the bottom
    3. click on 'Internet & Email orders' on the left
    4. click on 'Spam' on the left
    5 uncheck "Filter unsolicited advertisements and other unwanted e-mail messages" > apply > OK
    6. exit the main Console

    You can check THAT TMA is disabled:
    1. open Outlook
    2 tools > Trust Center > click on Add-ins > on the bottom, make sure that the ' Manage: ' drop-down list is set to "COM Add-ins" and click on the "..." button. "> Search FRO"TMA"must be unchecked
