Deskjet 710/720/810/820/1000 Series printers - Patch for 64 bit Vista and Windows 7

There is an issue with the 64 bit Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 or 8.1 drivers that causes the spooler to crash with the following HP Deskjet printers:
Deskjet 710
Deskjet 712
Deskjet 720
Deskjet 722
Deskjet 810
Deskjet 812
Deskjet 820
Deskjet 822
Deskjet 1000
The attached file contains a patch for this issue for Vista and Windows 7.
[The patch does not currently work for Windows 8 or 8.1 x64 systems. There are some efforts to address this, if a solution is developed it will be posted here. {Edit - I have not made any progress in getting the patch to work in Windows 8 x64.}]
First make sure the driver for the printer is installed. If the driver has not been installed go to Start, Devices and Printers, Add a Printer, Local Printer, choose the proper port (for USB-Parallel converters the port will likely be USB001: or perhaps USB002: ), Next, click Windows Update then choose HP for the manufacturer and select the appropriate printer.
Apply the patch as follows: Log into the computer with an administrative account. Download the patch by clicking on this link or on the paper clip at the end of this post. Save the patch file to your computer, then unzip it. Next copy the three DLL files to the following directory: %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3
Note that %windir% is a system variable that points to the location of the Windows directory. For most systems this will be C:\Windows. You can click Start, Computer and type %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 in the address bar and it will find the right place.
This can be done from a DOS prompt if DOS is opened with the "run as administrator" command, or from explorer with a copy and paste. Depending on your UAC settings you may need to provide confirmation. Also allow the current files to be overwritten if prompted.
This patch is not required and should not applied to a 32 bit version of Vista or Windows 7.
Thanks to extraordinary Microsoft engineer Alan Morris for guidance for the patch.
Update - the following are more detailed installation instructions:
Download the patch from here. Now click on the file and open it, then extract the patch to some directory that is easy to find. (I use c:\temp. If this directory does not exist you can create it as follows: open the administrative DOS prompt by clicking on Start, All Programs, Accessories, then right click on CMD.EXE and select Run as Administrator. Click in the DOS box then type the following:
MD c:\temp
CD \temp
Now extract the patch files into the c:\temp directory (extract all, chose c:\temp as the destination).
[Update - Windows security settings may prevent these files from being used, please open Computer, type c:\temp in the address bar and then right click on each of the dll files and select Properties. If there is a message in Properties indicating the file was downloaded from the internet and may be blocked then unblock the file before proceeding.]
Next click back in the administrative DOS prompt and type the following: (stuff in green is comments, do not type them...)
DIR *.dll (this is just to verify the files are there, it should list hpvdb720.dll, hpvdb820.dll and hpwm5db1.dll and perhaps others.)
Net stop spooler (makes sure the files are not in use.)
Copy hpvdb720.dll C:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this is for the Deskjet 710/712/720/722)
Copy hpvdb820.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3 (this covers the Deskjet 820 and 822)
Copy hpwm5db1.dll c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\x64\3(this covers the Deskjet 1000)
Net Start Spooler
Exit
[Edit - note that these DLL files will already be in the directory. You will get a warning asking if it is OK to overwrite the files, say "yes".]
At this point the patch is installed and ready to print.
Note that the printers here do not support USB connections, they have only parallel ports. [Edit - if your printer does have a parallel port use it, this will likely be much less problematic than using a USB-Parallel converter.] If you use a USB-parallel converter make sure it is supported in your operating system. The following posts are flagged with USB-parallel cables that are reported to work in Windows 7.   A driver is required for the USB-parallel converter in addition to the driver for the printer. For supported converters this is typically supplied automatically in Windows 7. Note: the proper port to select for the USB-Parallel converters is often USB001:. I have heard of some cases where the port was USB002: or LPT3: as well. If the port you are using does not succeed (after applying the patch) try changing the port by going to Start, Devices and Printers, right click on your printer and select Printer Properties, then click on the Ports tab.

HotSincing the Palm Z22 in 64 bit Vista (and Windows 7)

There has been much discussion on not being able to Sync the Z22 under 64-bit Windows Vista or 7, using a USB cable. I have found a solution that so far has worked just fine for me.
Quoting from the website:
"Create an XP Mode for Windows 7 Home Versions & Vista. One of the cool features in Windows 7 is XP Mode. However, it’s only available for Windows 7 Professional and above, leaving Home Edition and Vista users out of luck. Today we’ll show you how to create your own XP Mode to run on Vista or Windows 7 Home Premium. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows Vista are not licensed to run the free XP Mode download from Microsoft. However, if you have a legal copy of Windows XP, then you can easily recreate XP Mode with the free VMware Player. This article will show you how quick and easy it is to get a virtual copy of XP running on any computer, even if it’s running 7 Home Premium or Windows Vista."
I installed the Palm Desktop v 6.2.2 and SplashPhoto Desktop v 5.03; the work just as they did on my 8 year old laptop with XP
Here's a link to the article. I hope it works for you.

SAP 4.6c with 32 bit kernel and Windows 2003 EE 64 bit - memory issues?

Dear Colleagues.
My apologies for this simple question. I would appreciate your assistance and expertise for this as I think I have confused myself and I would appreciate clarification.
Running an SAP 4.6c system on SAP Kernel 46D_EXT2 32-bit with Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition 64-bit and ORACLE 10.2 64 bit.
Could you confirm that there is still memory address space limitations due to the 32-bit SAP kernel?
It is the SAP Kernel that determines the addressable operating system limit for R/3 extended memory under Windows NT?
Do I still need to set the 3GB option on the system to allocate more than 2.5GB of SAP buffers and extended memory space?
I have taken a look at SAP Notes 110172 and 129813, but I just need clarification?
Thanking you in advance.
Kind Regards,
Alcatz

> Could you confirm that there is still memory address space limitations due to the 32-bit SAP kernel?
Yes.
>> It is the SAP Kernel that determines the addressable operating system limit for R/3 extended memory under Windows NT?
On a 64bit OS it is a bit different, effectively you can use 4 GB per workprocess.
> Do I still need to set the 3GB option on the system to allocate more than 2.5GB of SAP buffers and extended memory space?
No.

40 bit WEP and Windows XP

I'm still using the original AirPort, purchased February 2000, every day. What a great innovation that was...! For the first time, I hooked up a Windows (XP) computer, my neighbor's new Dell notebook. I got it working pretty quickly, although there was a problem with the WEP encryption: my AirPort offers 40 bit WEP encryption, which was unavailable on Windows XP, where you can choose either 128 or 64 bit. A research on the Internet revealed that the 64 bit encryption is also called 40-bit, so we tried that (How comes 64 can also be called 40?? Why not call it 77-bit instead???). Then there was an issue with the password: In Windows XP, it stated that the password had to be 5 characters long, whereas, in the past, I always used a much longer password. But after changing the password, the Dell was hooked up and could access the Internet. Can somebody explain this password issue? If the max. length allowed is really 5 chars, why did my computer never complain? Does the password get truncated to 5 chars without notifying me?
Thanks for answers

Here's the link to the thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534141&tstart=30
and in case this link doesn't work, I copied the answer:
"One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys.
The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Arch Linux 32x64 bits, Developers and Window Managers Support

Greetings!
After having some time issues due to college that prevented me from this, I wish to have again a rolling-release distro in my computer.
I was in the past a big fan of Gentoo, but now it seems too much work to compile everything from scratch. Also they seemed to have some issues with the developers - the original developer if I understood correctly has quit the project, others were forced to quit due to misbehavior, etc. - and maybe due to some other facts their popularity on distrowatch dropped drastically.
Then this year I've tried Debian Testing... My goodness, that was messy. Tons and tons of bugs on XFCE, like thunar hanging on load and displaying error messages, gedit not removing the ~lock files properly on close, so I had the myfile and ~myfile, and many others. Really, I gave up.
I wish to give Arch Linux I try then. Of course that would be quite stupid to ask if arch linux is the best choice in an arch linux forum, but there are some key points that if you could answer would help me a lot to give it a try:
1. 32x64
"Should I use 32-bit or 64-bit?" is NOT the intended question. Many still prefer 32-bit-pae on a 64-bit capable machine, others prefer 64-bit. I wish to use 64-bit. Made my mind. But I would like to know if the support of 64-bit on Arch Linux is as good as 32-bit and if it comes by default with cross-libs which makes me able to run 32-bit applications natively right out of the box,
2. Developers
About how many and what's their relation with the users? When I've googled for Arch Linux, I've had found a review video on youtube where some guy said in the comments that developer's mind changed a lot in the past 2 years and they introduced many buggy packages that required manual workaround. At the end of his comments, he said "Sympathy? Apologies for the ****? Nope. blame the user for trusting 'pacman -Syu'" Surely I don't know which are these options because I haven't read about pacman yet (just know it's the default package manager) but you get the idea.
Another key question: Is Arch Linux hiring new developers over the time? Replacing the ones that leaves for the many reasons?
3. Window Managers Support
With Gnome3's overall rejection (including mine), we have only two options: Switch to KDE or try other Window Managers. I still wish to have faith on gtk, so the first option is still not considered by me. I don't wish to know "which one is the best", because that's another large discussion just as the 32-bit x 64-bit. Just how good is Arch's support (updated constantly? bug-fixes?) on:
- XFCE
- MATE
- Cinnamon
(Of course there are others like LXDE, Enlightenment, etc. but I've decided to narrow down to XFCE even having quite bad experiences on Debian Testing.)
4. Package Manager
Last, being a rolling-release dist, can I add an option for a specific package to install a specific older version and/or not upgrade when you tell the dist. to upgrade everything? I remember that back on Gentoo I could edit a text file and just type the version of the package I wished to keep and the "update everything" option wouldn't touch the package (worked also to try new versions that were still not stable enough).
Any replies will be very appreciated. Sorry for the long post.
Best regards.

I'll start at the end with #4. Of course on the arch forums you will get people who are biased towards liking arch - but I think if you ask in other communities you will regularly hear that arch's package management system is its greatest strength. Pacman is the primary tool for this, but we also have makepkg for things in the Arch User Repository (AUR), and the Arch Build System (ABS) to recompile anything from the main repos with additional/alternate compilation options.
But for your direct question, there is an option to only upgrade to a particular version of a given package. There is an option in pacman's configuration file for just this purpose. However depending on what the package is, this could lead to problems. Users are discouraged from updating most of their system while keeping some older packages - This can lead to issues with shared dependencies. Of course if you build the package from source (AUR or ABS) yourself, such issues would be easy to resolve. Is there a certain package you know you'd want to keep at an older version? If you tell us what it is, we can give more specific information on how easy/hard it would be to accomplish.
#3: Arch is a DIY distro. You choose whatever window manager / DE you want. I can vouche for XFCE working wonderfully in arch. There are also numerous archers who use mate and cinnamon. I have heard of some problems, but (AFAIK) these have nothing to do with compatibility with arch, rather these are due to upstream issues. In other words, cinnamon, mate, xfce, or any other WM should work just as well on arch as on any other distro. I'd bet our wiki for installing and configuring those WMs are better than those of the distros that bundle the WM with the core install. (In addition to package management, you will find the arch wiki is second to none).
#2: I can't answer with any specifics - other than to say they continue to do an excellent job. I am not surprised by the youtube video - not because I'd agree with it, quite the opposite. But as arch is a DIY distro it puts some responsibility on the user to maintain their own system. If one is not prepared for nor willing to do this, they often become frustrated and end up blaming someone else. Often this is the developers, sometimes it is the forum moderators, other times it is the whole arch community. In every case these accusations are absurd. Your questions on replacement of developers is a good question though - there is a history page on the wiki which might give some insight on this, but I suspect others will have better input on this.
#1: I use i686 (32bit) on two of my computers and it works perfectly. It sounds, however, that a majority of the community uses 64bit (which I just updated to on one of my computers). My 64bit system works perfectly as well, but I don't have any 32bit-only apps. Occasionally there are forum threads about some issue or another with "multilib" applications which are 32bit programs run in a 64bit system. Generally these threads seem to be resolved without much hassle. You can search for some of them yourself: Skype seems to be a common topic of such issues.
All in all, I'd reiterate arch's strengths in it's package management and wiki/documentation. Potential weaknesses could be found by users who are unwilling or unable to take responsibility for their own system. I word this is a bit biased manner - there are many people who have no interest in being responsible for maintaining their own system, a majority of all computer users would fall into this category; most of them would be quite unhappy with arch linux. If you were happy with gentoo in the past and only want to avoid constant recompiling then you probably would be one who could be very happy with arch.
Or an even shorter summary: try it out. If you don't like it, switch.

Dual boot WIndows 8.1 and Windows 7 (32 bits) from separated disks gives error 0XC0000359

Hi all,
I have two disks, each with a (OEM) installed OS on it, a Windows 8.1 (64 bits) and Windows 7.0 (32 bits). The later came from mine old computer that unfortunately died to soon. So I have two disks and two OS in an brand new machine (with UEFI BIOS etc.).
Installing a dual boot option was a pace of cake. However booting into Windows 7.0 gives following error:
"Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause.
File:\Windows\system32\winload.exe.
Status: 0XC0000359
Info: the application or operating system could't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors".
There is lot discussions about installing two OS but that is not mine problem: both are already installed.
Also there is much rumour about the UEFI BIOS and support for older systems. In mine medion computer the Security Boot option is disabled (by the OEM), so booting from a old BIOS should be possible, must isn't.
Someone advised me to run the recovery disk (of Windows 7.0) and run Bootmgr. However the system refuses to boot from CD/DVD with the recovery disk of Windows 7.0 inserted, booting from the recovery disk of Windows 8.1. goes fine.
Removing the disk with Windows 8.1 installed on it and directly booting in Windows 7.0 fails too with the message: "Reboot and Select proper boot device or: Insert boot media in selected boot device and press key". Also in this case the system
refuses to boot from the Windows 7.0 recovery disk.
Could you please help me?

Hi,
To rebuilt boot loader, I suggest we can try following command when you enter Windows 8.1.
Run cmd as administrator and type following command:
BCDboot [Partition Letter with windows 7 installed]:\windows
Note: if you installed Windows 7 on Partition F, the command can be write as: BCDboot F:\windows.
Then, restart and boot into Windows 7.
What’s going on?

Having a problem with wireless connection. On my Windows XP 32 bit system and a 6510 printer, initi

On my Dell Latitude D620, Windows XP 32 bit system and my 6510 printer wireless connection (Linksys EA4500) , everything works fine after the computer is booted. After a period of time (usually overnight), I lose connection to the printer (the scanner icon with a red x is shown on my Windows task bar and I can't print. Ran Windows Fix and the HP fix programs. The only thing that solves it is to reboot the computer. A second symptom is that my IE8 stops connecting to the internet at the same time (gives a 'waiting for' response that never changes). Firefox still connects OK when this is happening. So I suspect the problem isn't with the printer, but with my Windows set up. It is a fresh XP SP3 install (hard drive crashed, but it happened before also). I reset IE, checked my proxy, no malware, happens with or without firewalls and security programs.
Hoping that someone else has run into this problem. Been all over Google, and the IE doesn't work / Firefox works is fairly common, but none of the fixes helps.

If you want you can reload Firefox 4.0 or the last "old" version is 3.6.16 and is available here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
Just reinstall your choice of FF. The bookmarks are in a different directory and are NOT overwritten. Some of the Add-ons that worked in 3.6 DO NOT work with 4.0, pay attention and head any warnings when you start 4.0.
I had to disable extensions: Flashblock and WOT
Firefox SafeMode? - A troubleshooting mode.
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holding the Shft key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.

When will Firefox offer a 64-bit version ? I use my 32-bit Firefox,but keep my 64-bit Waterfox and Pale Moon ready, when Firefox crashes on Windows 8.

I am a Firefox Veteran. Been around since the NCSA web browser days and used the first Firefox web browsers. I have never liked or trusted Microsoft Windows, so I've never used Internet Explorer. I had tweaked Windoze Blue Screen Of Death software from the Windows 3.0 days and did minor maintenance on the "Pizza Boxes" to keep them alive until I or my duty station could afford a newer one. Firefox has always performed for me working for "Uncle Sam" or at home. I keep Firefox and the versions: Sea Monkey, Aurora, Nightly on my laptop because I like Firefox and I like to switch from one browser to the other sometimes -- plus, in a Windows crash, I have a backup browser. Windows always "Crashes"; somethings never change. My 32-bit Firefox doesn't seem as reliable on my 64-bit 'Windoze' 8 as it was on Windows 7. My hope is that some of the Firefox Gurus have a 64-bit Firefox up on blocks in the shed out back ready to rock and roll or at least release as experimental to be played with and tested. Thanks guys -- Keep up the good work. Sam

Someday. This is a question asked multiple times but the answer is always the same, there is no real benefit to moving to 64 bit Firefox, and the amount of work required to do something with no benefit makes this a low priority. Eventually it will happen, but just because it uses 64bit doesn't magically make things better.

ITunes and Windows 7 64 bit doesn't work together?

Running Windows 7 64 bit, iTunes is reporting it is latest and greatest, as is iPod touch. When I tried to move some songs I purchased today to my iPod via iTunes, my system crashed. Tried a few times and it kept crashing. It would transfer 1 maybe 2 songs then crash. I've not installed anything new, nor have I had this problem in the past and the crashes only occur when transferring music. Anyway, after the last crash I was checking my version on iPod touch and noticed it says I have only 2 gig left on space. Yet when I go to my Music I only have 3 songs. In addition, when I plug my ipod into my computer, iTunes sees all my old music from the iPod (listed under devices) AND it will play those songs. From my iPod those songs do not seem to exist but are still taking up space. I am in the process of restoring my iPod but I am curious if anybody has had the same issue, if so what was your resolution... as well as any suggestions. After restoring my iPod I had more issues. I installed iTunes to my XP machine, authorized it and hooked up my iPod and everything is syncing fine now. Seems to be just a problem with my Windows 7 machine. Any word as to when this is going to be fixed? My XP machine is not my preferred machine to keep my music on as it is my work PC.

I'm having a similar problem - my computer tells me that "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it". I'm also using Windows 7 64bit.

ITunes 64-bit and Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

I have a relatively new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and have not moved the "Music Folder" to a new location. I have moved the "My Documents" folder to a new location tho. Inside of the "My Documents" folder, I see folders named "My Albums" and "Music Lyrics", but no "Music" or "My Music".
After installing the 64-bit version of iTunes, I get the following error.
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created and is required.
The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
I have researched and seen many references to this error and Windows XP, but nothing for Windows 7.
Ideas?

Something may be awry with the special registry permissions on the My Music folder, Just. I think the iTunes installer looks for those in order to determine just where the default location of My Music is on a given computer.
But since this is a first-time install, the situation should be pretty simple to recover from.
Hold down the shift key when you go to launch iTunes. In the dialog box that comes up, select "Create library" and put the library where you please.
Probably a good idea after doing that to try launching iTunes again, just to make sure that it is still finding the iTunes folder. But by default, next time you open iTunes (after creating a new library), it should try to open the library in the location you created the library in.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine, tried solutions from other threads with no luck, just thought i'd see if anyone else had any ideas, thanks.

Hi all, i can't sync over wifi between my iPhone 4 and Windows 7 64 bit, wifi sync works with the same phone and my Windows 8 machine so the problem seems confined to Windows 7. I've tried solutions from other threads -
Making sure everything is allowed through firewall
Rebooting phone/laptop/router
Disabling ipv6
Disabling all networks except the one curently on
Re-installing iTunes
Restoring iPhone
No luck with any of those unfortunately so i just thought i'd see if anyone else is still without wifi sync after trying those as well and if you ever found a fix, thanks.

I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

ITunes 7.6 and Windows XP Pro x64 ---- 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro

My wife was given an iPod nano, so I downloaded the current version of iTunesSetup.exe from www.apple.com and tried to run the executable. It told me that it wasn't designed to install iTunes on my 64 bit version of Windows XP Pro, and that I should go back to www.apple.com and download the 64 bit installer. I went back to www.apple.com and searched for the 64 bit installer in vain. There is only one main link to the current installer and the website determines which version of the installer you're given. After a few google searches I managed to aquire iTunes64setup.exe from the Apple site. I ran the executable and it told me "This iTunes installer requires that your computer is running Windows Vista 64-bit" and then it gave me the option to exit. I ended up installing iTunes from the executable I had originally downloaded. I have iTunes 7.6.2.9 installed now but it doesn't detect, or can't operate my DVD burner, so I can't rip music with iTunes for use on my wife's nano. I get this error report when I run the Diagnostic test built into iTunes.

And there was no change in the diagnostic when I first tried to repair the install and then tried to reinstall iTunes. I'm sure the burner is working because I can play music, watch movies and all the normal stuff a DVD burner can do using Nero.
I'm guessing I need an iTunes version of 64 bit optical drive driver.
Any help would be appreciated!

I got the iTunes 7 to work on XP Pro 64bit. What I did was this:
1. Downloaded DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe
2. Installed it.
3. Created this file tree: C:\Windows\Sysnative\drivers (Easier terminology, I went into the Windows folder and created a folder named "sysnative", opened that folder and created another folder called "drivers".
4. Then I located the folder where I installed DriverInstaller_AMD64EM64T.exe ..
5. I took the file called GEARAspiWDM and COPIED IT. I DID NOT MOVE THIS FILE!!!
6. I pasted a COPY of this file into sysnative\drivers. The folder I just made.
7. I installed iTunes 7, not 7.6. 7.6 and this method won't solve the burning issue. That would require more programs and more patients.
Note, you will have to manipulate iTunes when you want to burn. The best way to do this, I found, was to simply make a playlist and right click the playlist on the left column and select burn to disk. It should act normally.
