It prints a heart up and arrow down, USBC, heart, up and down arrow, C at the top of the page as it prints other pages with different things as USBC, clover, up and down the arrow c. after full window load it stops, but will print many pages. I looked at printing Q and don't see a print job. need to know how to make this stop

Hello

·        Since when are you facing this problem?

·        Remember to make changes to the system?

·        Apart from that, you are able to do other work on the system without any problems printing?

Method 1:

I suggest to put the system in clean boot and then restart the system and check if the problem persists. Follow the steps mentioned in the link given below.

How to configure Windows XP to start in a "clean boot" State

http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310353

Method 2:

I would suggest uninstall you the printer from the system and then reinstall it back and check if the problem persists.

Method 3:

It may be that there is a problem with the printer driver. I suggest you to uninstall the drivers and the software of the printer from the system and reinstall it on the system to see if the problem is resolved.

  • Pavilion dv6700: Pavilion laptop computer under Vista: Windows does not start, the Startup Repair cannot fix it. What to do next?

    Hello
    My laptop seven year old made me proud til yesterday, but now it does not fire upwards. Instead, it hangs for a minute or two (black screen, no HARD drive light blinks, nothing), while it charges to a screen with two options - either start the system restart or start Windows normally. The second option takes me around the loop again. The first option tells me that it cannot fix the problem automatically. When I display the error details, it lists all of the tests, as adopted successfully, but ends with the words: "Root cause found: failure so that the Setup program is underway.

    I'm sure I know why she fell: two days ago, I left all my files on a portable player and defragmented the disk. The idea was to speed up the machine and get it running like new. He immediately started to hang when connecting, so I thought, well I'll go for a complete restoration of the system. I followed the procedure using the disks provided with the machine, and that's when it stopped working completely. I felt that this was more than the aging than HARD drive could take.

    My attempts at rejuvenation have actually caused his untimely death? Or is there a difficulty - something I could undertake?

    Or should I just bite the bullet and go and buy a new machine? When everything (screen, keyboard and trackpad) worked so well, it seems a shame...

    Any help or thoughts welcome. Thank you

    If you really want to resurrect, you could certainly purchase a new hard drive and try to restore the system of work using the recovery media - but then, even if it did work, you would have still lost all your data, settings, and applications in the process - and having to reinstall all your applications everywhere again.

    Hey, don't feel bad, I'm guilty of this too - has recently attempted to resurrect an era Tablet XP PC so that it can run Win10!  He went from XP to Vista, Win7, for Win8 - and along the way, gains of new memory and drives hard - but the Win10 bet was too.  So, I got to a "give up to use it.

    However, I also kept a cell phone 5 year alive by replacing the HDD with a SSD and adding more memory.  So now it is faster than ever, it has been and works like new.

    But... He has NO touchscreen, there no USB3 ports, it doesn't have 1 GB ethernet - and the list goes.

    Thus, it works very well for what we use it for - but it can't really be upgraded, so sooner or later, we will have to replace it.

    Everything depends on how much you need 'new' - touch screen, stylus, handwriting, camera, 3 USB ports, display port jack, HDMI ports... etc.

    Why do you think that the BIOS update will fix your NumLock key question?
    At this key in the past book running the same BIOS?

    If key and your keyboard controller BIOS are OK and the problem is with the internal keyboard.

    The problem occur the first time that a system definition starts after restarting, or simply if a system definition is set to start immediately after the restart? If you have not deployed system definition (you undeploy specifically the last one) and you restart, and then wait a few minutes before you deploy one, you always see the same question?

    XP Pro, SP3. I downloaded the free Bullzip pdf printer. Somehow my old printer pdf in my printer disappeared list which I have used for years.

    CNET is infamous for the grouping of things in its downloads as much a / v programs report as junk (I went through the same thing using eSet NOD32 has / v).  I seem to remember that if you ignore the warning and download the exe file and then use a tool like the free 7-zip to extract only the file necessary to run the program you want, you can work around the problem.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state of the link to return the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

How can I get rid of him. I have a valid license. What is the cost and benefits, the upgrade to Acrobat 9 professional to the latest version (I think it's X)

    No, X is not the last. In fact, X, as 9 is now unsupported. After X XI, after that XI was DC. DC is the current version. No upgrade price from 9 more, unfortunately. You can subscribe to DC, and this is recommended because it gets new features faster and includes future updates (probably will be necessary as Microsoft moves to Windows 10 edition when they feel like it, instead of waiting for Windows 11/12 etc..)
