Error 87 on a Vista box

Would appeciate your help. Print Server worked fine on my XP machine that died. Server still works fine for rest of family - but not for me. Encountering an "Error 87" window when doing the install on a new Vista machine. Click "OK" to close, which goes to "printer is ready to print" message, but will not print. The install/printserver sees my Samsung printer. The printer prints fine when connected directly to the Vista PC via USB. Been through the install wizard at least 5 times. Firmware upgrade? Is there a Vista driver (can't find one on Linksys website)?
Thanks for any suggestions.

as the print server is working fine for rest of the computers , follow the steps mentioned below
1)go to add printer >> select "add local printer"
2)select "create a new port" >>"standard tcp/ip port" as "type of port" >> click "next"
3)enter the ip add of the PS in the "hostname or ip add" field
4)uncheck "query the printer and automatically select the driver to use"
5)select custom , click on settings
6)select "LPR" as the "protocol" .. under the LPR settings put in any name for the "queue name"
7)check "LPR Byte counting enabled"
8)click "OK" , click "Next"
9)select the manufacturer and model number of the printer..if not available , then click on "have disk" , click "next" , check "set as default printer" ..
The best help yet.
taken me 5 hours with the CD setup that did not work ad took me 20 sec with your help and works fine

Error Message During Vista Install W/ Bootcamp

I crashed my original vista installation, so I am trying to get it up and running again. After deleting the old partition and creating a new one with BCA in Leopard, I get this error message during vista installation
Windows cannot install required files. The file does not exist. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and then restart installation. Error Code: 0x80070005
I thought maybe it was My Vista DVD, so I borrowed a friends, and it did the same thing. This is on a Macbook PRO purchased a little over a month ago.
Please HELP! I need my vista installation up and running for work!

"but when detecting hard drives, nothing shows up in the list."
I don't really understand that statement as without any drives showing up how were you able to even start the install?
At any rate, during your first installment, the one that succeded, do you remember which partition it was that you Formated with the windows installer? When you use Boot Camp to partition and install the windows os, BC sets the volume name to BOOTCAMP. As far as I know this is the one that you must use for your windows os. Before you can install windows though, you must use the windows installer to format it to NTFS <----- the format type depends on a at least a few conditions, the one that I can remember is partition size. I believe 32G and above it HAS to be NTFS. But my point is, if you try and use any other partition that might come up on your list besides the one that BC made for you, it will probably error out (if you even get anywhere at all with it). Do you know FOR SURE that you chose the correct partition to format? This is the only other possibility that I can come up with at the present time.

Hosting itunes lib on Vista box, sharing between 2 Mac laptops?

Afternoon
My partner and I both have Mac laptops as our primary computers - an MB and a PB. We'd like to share the same itunes library without having to leave one of the laptops on all the time, because one or either of them is regularly out of the house. I'm thinking that we should be able to use the old Vista box in the study to host the shared library and we could just connect to it using SMB in a login script. I've tried it out and I can certainly read itunes files stored on the Vista box from my PB, so I think this might be the easiest solution, but what are the "gotchas" I'd have to watch out for here?
Second question - we also have a 750GB Maxtor USB/firewire brick which I currently use as both my TM and iTunes storage (in two partitions). Is there an easy way to repartition this without losing all my TM backups? I'd like to just repartition it into 2 (it's in 4 at the moment) - one for my PB TM and one for my Vista Norton backup.
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Kind regards
A

no.
you can stream content from computers to TV. with the release of iOS 4.2, you will also be able to stream content from an iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch to it.
Will it still work if that same iTunes library is in use by the Mac hosting the library? Will things slow down considerable if both devices are using the same lib at the same time?
you can stream content from only one computer @ a time. however, owing to the +home sharing+ functionality, you would be able to access the content of other shared libraries while connected to one library.

Delay in loading report on Vista Boxes when top margin set to 0

I'm currently using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio version 13.0
I have a problem when I programmically change any value on the report, I have a delay of 17 seconds or more - it seems to be loading the report. I began seeing this problem when I modified the Page Settings -> Top margin to be 0.000 (originally the top margin was set to 1.153).
This problem is only occuring on a group of Vista boxes (running service pack 2)

It could be printer driver related. Try turning on the No printer setting in the page setup.

Sharing HP Printers Connected to a Vista Box

I am a new Mac user and am having difficulty setting up access to two HP printers through a wireless network. The printers are connected to a Vista box and set for sharing. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks - i appreciate the help.

Hello bluesurfertodd,
Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that out of the box the HP Pavilion 23fi monitor worked great on your MAC, but the next day it did not work properly. I would try the monitor stand alone and if possible plugged into another computer. If it works correctly contact MAC as they make the display drivers for MAC computers.
If it does not work correctly stand alone or connected to another computer, the the issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

New Vista Box....

Help please,
I got a new Vista box last week. Transferred over most of my docs etc. I also transferred over roughly 3000 songs (mostly my daughters.)
On the new machine I installed itunes andit automatically searched out and installed all 3000 songs now on the hard drive. Problem is 200 were my songs, the rest are my daughrters.
How can I set up itunes so I only download/installl MY songs and she can download/install her own....
Any help would be appreciated....
Also I have an iPhone, how do I get my apps back?

Anyone?

ITunes does not open and gives no error message on Vista

Hello,
I have an iPhone 4 on Windows Vista and haven't really had any problems until recently. Nothing has changed (that I am aware of) on my Vista machine but now, iTunes won't start and I am not getting any error message. It just brings up a message box that reads, "iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Please close the program." Then I have the option to close the program and that is it. No error messages or any other indication of what is going on.
When I first encountered this, I followed the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925 and removed and reinstalled the latest version of iTunes (which was already working). I actually did it twice because I thought I messed it up. I was still getting the same problem.
I did try setting Bonjour to Disabled in Services as written here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2618748. That actually seemed to work, but only twice. I am back again to the same issue.
Any ideas at what I should be looking at to help solve this issue?
Thank you for the help.

b noir,
Here's some additional information. Between the time you responded and I had uninstalled iTunes and cleaned it up. Also, I followed the steps to install iTunes without all the extra "stuff" from this article: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/bott/the-unofficial-guide-to-installing-itunes-10-with out-bloatware/2390
After I installed it, using the guide, I realized I had accidentally installed version 10.0.0.6 (or something like that). However, iTunes was working. Except, when I connected my iPhone4, I got an error saying that I needed to update iTunes because it wasn't compatible with my iPhone (or something like that). That was my fault for not installing the right version - but it did work.
So I went through the whole cleanup again, checking the registry, folders, etc. for any traces of iTunes or Apple stuff. I then reinstalled the latest version of iTunes using the ZDNET article. However, when I started it, I got the same crash again. Below is the information from Problem Reports and Solutions:

Updating to Acrobat Pro 7.1.0 Solution to error 1304 in Vista

I have spent considerable time finding a solution to this problem and thought I'd post a new message with the solution.
Sometimes it is very difficult to find real solutions on this site, and "you must fork out megabucks for a new CSx version because we won't make this one compatible in the update.." is not fair nor acceptable. This is a permissions issue and Acrobat does not have the credentials to access the folder it wants to write to. I have had this same issue and have the solution as follows.
Vista protects you by not letting just any program or installer package do whatever it wants. That's why the user 'SYSTEM' does not have the privilege to change what the install wants to do and therefore you get the error and it kicks you to the curb. What you need to do is activate the ADMINISTRATOR account (which is disabled by default) and assign it a password, change ownership of the Adobe Acrobat 7.0 folder to administrator (it's SYSTEM by default), log on as administrator, let the install complete, then log back on as your normal user and undo the account and ownership manipulations. Note that the ownership ONLY needs to be changed on the Acrobat folder.. I have seen other posts that tell you to change the whole Adobe folder, and an article from the Adobe KB telling you to change it on both the Program Files and ProgramData folders, and neither are necessary, nor do they tell you to undo what you did, leaving your system open and vulnerable to other threats.
Solution Steps:
1. Right click Computer on your desktop or in the start menu, choose Manage, and ok the user account control (UAC) prompt. Computer management opens.
2. Expand Local Users and Groups and click Users. Users are shown on the right. Right click Administrator and choose properties. Uncheck the box "Account is disabled" and click OK. Right click administrator and choose "set password", click proceed. Enter any password (this will be undone when finished) and click OK. A password must be set else you cannot log on. Close computer mgt.
3. Open Computer and browse to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat 7.0. Right click the Acrobat folder and choose properties. Click the security tab, then the advanced button at bottom, in the adv security settings, click the owner tab. You will see the current owner is SYSTEM. Click edit at the bottom and ok the UAC prompt. Click 'other users or groups', then advanced in the next box. Click 'find now', highlight administrator user (not administratorS group) and OK, then OK again. Now the user administrator is listed in the 'change owner to' list. Highlight administrator and click OK, a message about changing ownership will pop up, just ok it. Ok all the property boxes and close Computer browser.
4. Go to the start menu and log off. You will now see your normal users listed with the administrator user also. Click the administrator user and log in with the password. Acrobat will try to finish it's install.. the error 1304 will not occur because you now have access to the location it wants.. the install completes. Log off and log back on as your normal user.
5. To undo your changes, just reverse the steps, changing ownership of the Adobe Acrobat folder back to SYSTEM. The administrator account has no password by default.. to remove the password, just leave the password fields blank and click ok and it will be 'no password'. Then disable the administrator account and everything is back to the way you started, with Acrobat updated and no more error.
Seems long, but not really that bad, I just put in every little step for the tech-unsavvy.

Audigy LS W/ Alchemy Upgrade - Error after installing Vista Sp1

First off, yes I know it is a release candidate, and yes, I can uninstall it... but the error is there, and will of course be there when the final release is pushed out on updates unless it is fixed.... so here goes...
I installed Vista Sp RC yesterday. No issues that I identified immediately, everything seemed fine. Yet today when I tried to listen to podcasts, iTunes wouldn't play audio (other apps still play audio fine). I tracked this down to a sound driver issue, so I went to control panel to load the Sound controls, and lo, there was an error box that did appear:
"Audio Enhancements Problem"
"Windows has detected that audio enhancements for the following device are causing problems:"
"Speakers (SB Audigy LS)"
"Would you like to disable Driver Enhancements for this device? (Yes/No)"
I'm not sure what the side effect of disabling driver enhancements would be - it sounds like pretty much crippling the card, which will not accept as I did pay for the upgrade to support Alchemy in Vista for it. I'm also not sure if I tell it to disable the enhancements if I'll ever be able to turn them back on again without a reinstall - vista is that way with some of its hidden settings.
So - is there another way around this other than simply uninstalling SP (which hopefully will work), and most importantly, will there be an update to fix the problem before Sp final pushes?
My system is as follows:
AMD Opteron 70, 2gb PC4000 DDR
320GB Seagate SATA Dri've
SB Audigy LS
ATI Radeon HD2600XT
DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra-D
Windows Vista Home Premium
everything worked until today, and I'm assuming my install of SP RC was the trigger. I'm about to start a rollback, but that will of course take some time. I will post back here if the rollback does NOT fix the problem. I'm hoping it will, but still need a fix before SP final pushes.

http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Vista/Vista-SP-RTMs-and-Lies/ http://www.microsoft-watch.com/conte..._question.html Is it RTM or not Google it and see. Main issue with SP is drivers (not many). That's all I care to comment on.You could reinstall any drivers that are a problem.Didn't work for me.

Nokia Software Updater Error 1772 on Vista

I have installed NSU version 1 from a CD but it insists that I download the latest version from the website. I then proceed to downloaded the latest version, run as administrator, then it crashes giving Error 1772.
Screenshot uploaded to http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=do5etf&s=5

I know it's been a while, but I found another way to solve the annoying "configuration error" and I'd leave it here for someone else. Nokia tells you to turn off the Internet File Sharing in the FAQ of the NSU. Here it didn't work. So I decided if it is a network problem than I'd turn off the ICS. It worked and I didn't have to turn off any of my security software (firewall and antivirus). So.
Start menu > Execute (or use the Search box in the start menu of Windows Vista) > Services > Find ICS in the list of services > Right mouse > Stop. Now NSU will find the new firmware.
Please turn on the ICS again after you finish the update.

Shares changed on Vista box, cannot access

I set up some shares on my Windows XP box. Originally, Leopard could find them. Then I installed Vista on another partition, which changed the drive letters, and now Leopard throws an error when I try to access them. "The operation cannot be completed because the original item for "DATA (G)" cannot be found."
How can I remove the association with that drive so I can reconnect to the "new" drive G?
TIA,
Lang

Reboot your iPad and after it restarts - hopefully you will be able to get back into the settings.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Error with windows vista but not xp

Hi there all,
IT have recently changed my computer to Windows Vista from XP.
i have lots of reports that were created pre transfer and they now dont work in vista.
it seems to be a common problem when a report containts "Date Job completed" it returns an error of "ERROR DURING SQL EXECUTION DA0003" so i assumed it must be a time out error and ameded the times in regedit.
however it still doesnt work. i cant see it being a date format as a simple report that contains "date job raised" works. its just these other date ones!
can anyone shed any light on the problem im experiencing? IT have now given me my old computer back to fix the problem but im gonna need to go back to the new one again soon!!
also, i assume it must be a setting somewhere that needs changing!?!?
thank you
sam
p.s. i use desktop intelligence XIR2.

Hi Samantha,
Are you getting the error message while accessing deski through infoview or just local deski.
If it is deski through infoview, Can you please let me know which version of Internet Explorer you are using.
You can try the below steps to increase the timeout of IE in your machine and then test the report.
Now, here are the steps to increase the IE7 timeout-
Backup of your registry settings, before making any changes.
Add a ReceiveTimeout DWORD value with a data value of (<number of seconds>)*1000 in the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
For example, if you want the timeout duration to be 8 minutes, set the ReceiveTimeout data value to 480000 (<480>*1000).
Restart your computer.
Repeat all of the above steps on every computer that uses IE 7.
This particular error message appears because of the Timeout setting in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7. By default, IE 7 has the timeout of 30 seconds.
Also, here is the link from Microsoft which identifies the issue-
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/181050/en-us
Lets hope this resolves your issue.
Regards,
Gaurav

IPod Shuffle Error (-48) : Windows Vista

Hoping someone can help with my predicament here:
I have Windows Vista Ultimate and the most recent version of iTunes. I bought the shuffle new about 2-3 months ago. When I connect my shuffle it always gives me the error in the screenshot below and prompts me to format the device as well. It will also do this each time a song changes if I am listening to the songs on the iPod through iTunes. When transferring songs to the iPod it prompts me with these pop-ups for each song that is loaded.
I have tried to search for that error code and have not had any luck. Has anyone run into this issue before.
All software is up-to-date: Windows/iTunes/Shuffle Firmware
Thanks for any feedback!
Here is a screenshot of the errors:
http://www.drunet.org/images/iPod-Shuffle-Error48.png

Hi, I would suggest you to try Temporarily changing the Time Zone setting and then Open the latest version of iTunes and Restore your iPod. After successfully restoring your iPod, change the Time Zone back to your normal setting.
Hope this works.
