FP won't download on PC with Windows 7

I have tried everything and followed all instructions on support page but nothing is working.  Message says it can't download.  Once I did manage to download but it wouldn't install - said something about not having a file extension.
Any ideas????????????

Please provide the exact messages you get; "something like" doesn't give us any useful information.

  • Why won't my printer print with Windows 8?

    Why won’t my printer print with Windows 8?
    Have you just upgraded, or purchased a new computer with Windows 8, and now you can’t get your printer to work?  If so, this may help you.  A lot of people have questions about installing their printer on a new OS.  This will help you answer those questions and make sure that you get everything installed. 
    Before You Start
    Before you try to install the printer on a Windows 8 computer, you should check to make sure the printer is compatible with the new OS.  The link below will give you a list of the printers that will work in Windows 8.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03168175&lc=en&cc=us&destPage=document&dlc=en
    If you have upgraded your computer to Windows 8 form another version of Windows, make sure to completely uninstall all of the software for your printer.  It should still print, but to use all the functions you will need to reinstall the software, if it’s available.
    Another thing to consider is how you want to connect the printer to the computer. 
    USB.  You should make sure that you have a USB cable that is no longer than 6 ft. (roughly 2m).  Make sure to connect the printer directly to the computer.  Do not use a USB hub. 
    Ethernet cable.  Make sure you have the network setup, that you have a free cable port on the router, and that you have an Ethernet cable available.
    Wireless.  You should make sure that you have the wireless network setup, and that you have the password for the wireless network. 
     1.     Installing Via USB
    Installing via USB in Windows 8 has become much simpler for HP printer users.  In other versions of the Windows OS you had to start the installation and wait for it to ask you for the USB connection.  If you didn’t, you would have to uninstall the printer from the Printers/Devices folder, and then start the install.  In Windows 8, that will not be a problem.  If you plug the printer’s USB cable in and then install the printer’s software, it will still work.  Now for in depth instructions on installing the printer via USB click the link below.

    2.     Installing Via an Ethernet Network Connection
    For an Ethernet network connected printer the install is amazingly simple.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s really that easy.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    3.     Installing Via a Wireless Network Connection.
    For a wireless network connected printer the install is amazingly simple as well.  All you have to do is connect the printer to the network.  Once you have that done, Windows 8 will automatically install the drivers for you.  Then, all you have to do is install the rest of the software, if it’s available.  It’s pretty much the same as an Ethernet install, just wireless.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/support-drivers.html
    Alternate Install Methods
    With Windows 8, many printers’ drivers are installed with the OS.  These are known as InOS drivers, since they come built into the operating system.  If you have one of those printers, all you should have to do is connect it to the computer via USB, or connect it to the network via Ethernet or wireless.  Once you have that done Windows will handle the rest.  There are alternate methods of installing your printer if the normal methods are not working for some reason.  You can install the printer either using the Printer Install Wizard, or through Windows Updates. 
    Printer Install Wizard:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02681060&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Windows Update:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03460648&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la...
    Note: The Laserjet drivers for the Asia-Pacific and Japan won’t be released until a later date.  Check the support site linked below for driver availability.  I will update this post once they become available.

  • Bridge CS4 downloader won't browse to folder with Windows 7 64 bit

    I recently installed PS CS4 on a new PC with Windows 7.  I used the Bridge downloader as usual to download my photos to a particular folder.  Everything worked as expected as it did when I used Windows XP.  When I tried this the second time, the Bridge downloader would only let me browse to the folder from the previous download.  I could not see any of my subfolders or choose the destination folder I wanted.  What is Windows 7 in Bridge CS4 doing to prevent me from browsing to the destination folder of my choice?

    It is enough. I am fed up now.
    iTunes does not update automatically on my Windows 7 (64) and never did on my previous Windows 7 (32).
    Yes, update freezes again and again as it did on my old computer. So what the hek do you want me to update?
    And no:
    I do NOT want to borwse any more tutorials.
    I do NOT want to personalize my experience.
    I do NOT want to check out any community discussions.
    I do NOT want to 'see around the communities'!
    I just want to have fun! If possible with my iPod, if not I'll change that to another device too (and in order not to unsatisfy any other person not even donate it to an NGO).
    One more chance for Apple an iTunes:
    Just tell me what to do in order to fix my update problems - or else I shall be gone.
    CU? Your decision.

  • ICloud won't download whole msg to Windows Live Mail 2011 program if pdf attached

    I just posted a message about this but think I posted it in the wrong section, so, am posting again here. Has anyone had this problem? The email arrives in Windows Live Mail 2011 program with the pdf attached but what the sender typed to me in the email is missing.
    This email was generated originally by a mac user who sent it to another mac user with a pdf attached. The second mac user sent it to me  after typing a couple of words asking me to do something with the pdf. I never saw what he typed in - it was hidden. If I clicked Forwardd, then the draft of the forward showed some of his message to me but it was in weird format (lines broken in half, letters missing).  If I clicked Reply, I could not type into the reply.
    I checked iCloud mail. The message was there in the iCloud incoming mail folder, intact, everything visible. So the problem occurs when the IMAP server goes to send the mail on to my computer's email program.  Junk filters are turned off both on the IMAP server and in my email program so that is not part of the problem.
    One thing that occurred to me is that Windows Live Mail 2011 is receiving the email with pdf attached as though the text in the email were a photo or image.
    Has anyone encountered this? Can anyone guess what is wrong? Does anyone know how to fix it?
    I am using an HP Pavilion Laptop with Windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

    Does the ext directory have the php_oci8.dll? In the original steps the PHP dir is renamed. In the given php.in the extension_dir looks like it has been updated correctly. Since PHP distributes php_oci8.dll by default I reckon there would be a very good chance that the problem was somewhere else. Since this is an old thread I don't think we'll get much value from speculation.

  • Conexant audio device driver won't install on T510 with windows XP SP2

    I am having trouble in installing audio driver for Conexant audio device on an SSD with windows XP SP2 installed already.  After running the installer, it tries for a while, and says media device can't be found.  But booting from the win7-loaded internal drive, I can see it in the device manager.  I also see a few devices like base system device(?) in 'Other devices' category.  Could you help me get audio on the windows XP?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thank you very much for your reply that led me to helpful information. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the issue, but I think I'm closer to the resolution of this issue.
    So, I believed I installed Intel chip set and power management drivers, but did uninstall and re-install including .NET F/W 3.5.  Unfortunately it didn't work.
    Your link led to pages of unknown/driver-less drivers and made me check more detail.  I had only 2 PCI devices left in 'Other devices' category, so I checked the details of those as below:
    1. PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0BE3: I searched this item on the web, finding that the vendor is Nvidia, but could find device 0x0be3.
    2. PCI\VEN_8086&DEV3B56: this is vendor Intel, but again no device found.  The closest one is SoL device, though.
    So, it appears somehow the Conexant audio device is not even in 'Other device' category, and the intaller can't find the device.  I wonder if some other driver grabbed this device, so it's not available for driver installation.  I will do more investigation, but please help me address this.  Thank you again, and in advance.
    P.S. : I don't see the SoL driver installed after installing Intel drivers, and there is no 'Ports' category in the device manager, either.

  • Bold 9700 won't let me sync with Windows 7 computer using BlackBerry Desktop Software version 6

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7.  I installed version 6 of BlackBerry Desktop Software.  It installed just fine.  When I connect my Bold 9700 to it the software recognizes the phone and has the list of model, PIN, and phone number.  It allows me to backup the device - but not sync it.
    I went to configure my sync settings.  It goes to the screen for me to set the sync options for calendar, memo pad, etc.  I selected calendar.  It asks me which application I'm using and I select Microsoft Outlook (I'm using Outlook 2010).  I choose 2 way sync.  So, up to this point it's working correctly.  But, then when I hit "next" on this screen it gives me an error message - the operation terminated unexpectedly.  I have no clue what's going on.

    I have the same problem and have tried one way sync's, deleting and re-entering the calendar entries made around the time the problem started. If it is a corrupted entry, I can't find it.

  • Why won't iTunes 'play nice' with Windows 8.1

    After following painstaking, tedious Troubleshooting hoop-jumping**, iTunes (latest version) STILL refuses to "play nice" with Windows 8.1
    Stalls out (Windows Task Manager reports "not responding") and does truly nasty things like blanking computer display and making Windows 8.1 system commands non-responsive (iTunes also has to be Forced closed ['End Task'] using Task Manager)
    My question:
    ANY HOPE that iTunes will EVENTUALLY actually work with Windows 8.1?? (Of course, there's NO '8.1' listed in drop-down menu, inspiring further confidence!)
    Adding INSULT to INJURY - Apple programmers DEMAND/FORCE creation of NSA-grade Password to Login to iTunes!!?!  (8 minimum, mandatory Capital and lower case letters, plus number(s), plus NO repeats, plus NO "common passwords" [whatever THOSE are] etc. etc. etc....ad nauseum)
    ARGGGH!
    ** Update iTunes, start in Safe mode, re-start (iTunes & Windows), check AV status, shut down AV & firewall, scan for viruses, check status of all drivers, all DLL's, any "possibly conflicting" applications [whatever THOSE are], create new User Account, etc. etc. etc. ad nauseum!
    At the risk of repeating myself ...  ARGGGH!

    Just checking that you've tried "iTunes Safe Mode" as opposed to "Windows Safe Mode"?
    Press and hold down CTRL+SHIFT the instant you click the icon that launches iTunes and keep holding until this message appears.
    Click Continue, then close iTunes and reopen. Some people seem to have had success with this approach...
    Alternatively, have you tried removing all iTunes components and then reinstalling as shown in the second box of Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?

  • Downloading from iTunes with Windows Vista

    I just purchased my iPod video and i am tring to download a free episode of something and it is saying that it is going to take 132 hours for it to download. I am using windows vista and i was wondering if this was a normal thing or if there was anything that i could do about it. Thank you in advance for anything that you can do to help me.

    Apple, apparently, had a fix up for an earlier version of itunes, but that is gone from the web page, and has been yanked.
    Yes, there are big problems with iTunes for Windows. Until these are rectified, your Ipod will be a paper weight.

    The page linked below should also have links for Lightroom 4 that might work where the Adobe links fail:

  • Firefox won't start on computer with Windows x64 installed

    Thank you for your help!
    I have been having trouble with Firefox starting on my 64-bit Windows 7 computer for months now. It opens the process, but the browser window doesn't appear. Sometimes I have to close the process and restart it multiple times before the browser window opens. The browser process does in fact close when I exit the program, so this isn't the issue.
    I have tried everything on the following webpage, as well as other suggestions posted on the Internet to no avail.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_:_Issues:_Firefox_Won%27t_Startup
    In addition, I have had the exact same profile installed on two separate computers running 32-bit Windows XP and they have never experienced this problem.
    I'm really frustrated by this, because I absolutely love Firefox in every other regard. I must, given I'm still using the browser, despite dealing with this nuisance for so many months.

    it does not work even in windows safe mode with networking. same issue. if i wait for some time firefox comes but in not responding mode. then a pop shows up with - script: chrome//browser/content/tabbrowser.xml 2123 .
