Help! HP Laserjet 3050, AEX and Vista Home Basic on a Dell Dimension

Hey All,
I have been through this forum several times and found a few nuggets here and there. Unfortunately none of them have worked.
I have my MacBook Pro printing flawlessly to the HP 3050, which is connected to the AEX USB port.
I am able to gain an IP address and surf the web on both the Mac and PC.
I downloaded and installed Bonjour for Windows
I ran through the creation of the port adding the 1.0.1.1 address.
Still, I cannot print from the Dell.
Help!!
Oh and yes I have installed the latest drivers.

Have you tried manually setting the IP Addresses of your ISP's DNS servers in Vista (same as DNS addresses in router)...? This sounds like the same BUG I reported here which has yet to be addressed... see my posts on "DNS recursion fails"...

  • CS  and Vista Home Basic

    Hi couple of questions if anyone can help
    1. Does CS 2(Indesign/Pshop/Illustrator) run on Windows Vista® Home Basic SP1 ?
    2. We are soon to upgrade to CS 4 - has anyone encountered problems with the above operating system and CS4?
    Thanks!

    If you want to read about the differences in Vista, here is a link.

    I wish they never had the 'basic' or other versions. It's so confusing - especially to older relatives of mine.

  • Boot camp and Vista home basic

    everything seems to be working well with BC and Vista. Vista has this tool that automatically checks for problems, and then tries to find solutions, this is all done in the background. When I check to see if I had any problems, well I do. It states that there are missing Apple drivers and these drivers can be found on the apple website or by using Apple software update. Well Software update says all is up to date, and that goes for Apple and Vista. Is there anyone else experiencing this with Vista Home Basic?
    Thanks.

    you may need to re insert leopard and re download the drivers. There is also an option to "fix" the drivers when doing this. That's what I had to do.

  • I need to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic and need to know if I must back up all my bookmarks to a disk first.

    I have had on-going problems with communication between my Lexmark X3650 printer/scanner/copier and my Dell Vostro PC. Dell has instructed me to uninstall then re-install Vista Home Basic to my PC. I need to know if I will lose my Firefox bookmarks when I do this (I am waiting for them to send me the Vista disk before I can re-install). Will my bookmarks be saved on Firefox? Will I have to re-load my Firefox browser? I am certainly no computer whiz buy I simply cannot afford to lose all these links (collegiate workbooks and course-work submission links etc.). HELP!

    You can backup the bookmarks in the Bookmarks Manager.
    You can export the bookmarks in Firefox to an HTML file:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Export HTML
    You can also create a JSON backup:
    Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup
    An HTML backup doesn't support tags and annotations, so if you want to preserve those then you need to use a JSON backup.<br />
    Restoring a JSON backup will replace all existing bookmarks, so existing bookmarks are lost.<br />
    Importing an HTML backup will merge the imported bookmarks with existing bookmarks, so you do not lose the bookmarks that you already have, but you may get duplicate bookmarks if some already exist.

  • I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

    I have a windows laptop with Vista Home Basic and need to use windows for course work.  How can I get it onto my Mac as I have no disks.  Laptop arrived with Vista pre-loaded.
    Thanks

    As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
    MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
    Paragon works
    So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
    Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
    But why pop into someone's thread.

  • Cs3 and cs4 web standard compatible with vista home basic?

    Are Adobe CS3 and CS4 Web Standard compatible with Vista Home Basic 32bit?
    I only see Windows Vista Home Premium / Vista Business / Vista Enterprise / Vista Ultimate / XP listed as compatible.
    Many thanks.

    Vista didn't exist when CS3 was released and as such, there is no official statement regard compatibility of CS3 with Vista Home Basic.
    For CS4, we are very explicit. CS4 is not at all supported for Vista Home Basic (there are a number of networking and service support components that Microsoft leaves out of their Home Basic versions).

  • Can I upgrade Vista Home Basic to Vista Business using Boot Camp & Fusion

    I have installed Vista Home Basic 32-bit through Boot Camp partition and am running this through Fusion 1.1. I need Fusion's capability of running Windows at the same time as my Leopard. Presently, this OS is running smoothly as are my peripherals, including my LAN networked printer. However,
    I am told by VMware Fusion email tech support that they do not support Vista Home Basic. They would support a number of other Windows OSs including Vista Business which I can readily afford, or Vista Ultimate which would be much more difficult monetarily.
    I am concerned that I will need Fusion's tech support in the future and thus am willing to do the upgrade to Vista Business or Ultimate if I have to. I have been informed that Home Basic is FAT32 but Business is NTFS; that FAT32 is Apple readable and writable, but NTFS is only readable. I am a newbie and don't know what that means.
    It appears from what I can understand on MS Windows support forum topics that Ultimate is more compatible with Home Basic. Could someone with technical expertise please help advise which way is best to go with this, and if I have to, which upgrade to choose; and, how to go about installing without messing up what is already working.
    I'd really appreciate help with this as I have over a month trying to get this right and have had to communicate with tech support of various companies, do several complete deletions of partitions and reinstalls of various OSs and other software needed to accommodate my PC needs. My frustration level is really high at this point. Thanks to whomever is wiling to help this struggling newbie.

    Thank you, The Hatter, for answering so quickly.
    You asked about my needs. I use Apple OS capable Word to create documents, but often need data from a PC-only CD that was loaded on my Toshiba laptop for these documents which I share with others via email attachment sometimes from PC side and sometimes from Apple side depending on whether I still have things to add to the file and of course need to print from PC side also. That's why Fusion's side-by-side and drag and drop capabilities are perfect for me (I actually used to try to email the document to myself and go to my Toshiba to retrieve it, complete the document and email back, but MS Outlook often failed to operate.) I also receive from a friend, sound files created in PC format that I previously used Roxio to burn to CD. (Haven't gotten this running yet, apparently info I saw online about which Roxio v. would work with VHome Basic was wrong).
    When I am traveling and away for 2-3 weeks, I need to have everything on one laptop so I gave up my iMac w/Tiger v10.4, which I loved, for a new Macbook Pro to get the duo core, with a 23" Cinema Display. After reading Apple discussion forum and talking to Apple Sales, decided to get Fusion to run both OS simultaneously (this part works beautifully). I need to be able to print from the PCVM (which I've finally resolved).
    RE XP: In my conversations with Fusion tech supp. I was given instructions to load my XP Pro directly in VM w/o Boot Camp, telling me BC was unnecessary because Fusion could do partitioning and everything else necessary, so I scrapped everything and tried to do a new install, but their detailed instructions wouldn't allow installation. When I emailed them of the problem, they didn't reply. I really needed to get my PCVM up and running so went back to scrubbing everything and beginning again using Boot Camp and Vista Home. If there is a way to use use my XP upgrade with or without BC, I'd be happy to, but don't know how to go about it. I ordered Vista Bus. full on a special promo online for $127 but it hasn't arrived yet, so I believe I could return it if I don't need it. Will I need to scrap everything again and start over, or can I install the XP Pro upgrade with where I am now? Will the Vista capable application software be able to work with XP? How do I check whether my current partition is NTFS? What is MacFUSE, do I need it, and if so where can I get it? Is it expensive? I've really over-extended having to purchase things I believed I needed to proceed.
    I also have a Seagate 500 firewire for backing up my Leopard using Time Machine. Boot Camp partitioned the 500 for Leopard and PC using FAT32, but Seagate TS tells me that I can't use both OSs and that's why I can't see the PC partition in the Fusion desk top. Fusion TS tells me that I can't use FAT32 to back up Vista. Stymied again! So, I just found a Seagate 300 Free Agent to back up the PC side if I need to I have 13 days to decide.
    Suggestions...instructions?
    Again, thank you so much for sharing your expertise. I'm really grateful. I have tried to keep notes on what I've done and how, but I've scrapped everything and redone things so many times, I'm just confused at this point.

  • MINI SAP on Windows Vista Home Basic

    Hi,
    I'm trying to install the MINI SAP CD in the Windows Vista Home Basic, but I'm not getting success. I made download of Virtual Microsoft PC but for the version Home Basic, it doesn't have function. Somebody could help me please ?

    According to note 1040931 you need the following kernel versions to make it work:
    SAP Kernel 6.40:
          DW-Package (183):    operating system version check
          J2EE-Package (n.a.): operating system version check
          NTCLUST.SAR (n.a.):  crashes in MMC and Resource Monitor
          SAPINST (n.a.):      installation support on Windows Server 2008
    Note that SAP does not yet fully support these operating systems.

  • INSTALLING ORACLE APPS 12X ON VISTA HOME BASIC

    ive been spending too much time struggling to newly install oracle R12x on windows vista home basic on my laptop HP 4GB RAM but in vain. I successfully installed VMWARE but i cant get it launched, the IE fails to start from there i really dont know whats wrong. Can somebody pls help with the step-step process how to install this apps on the mentioned platform..appreciated in advance.

    I tried several times with windows desktop vista as host with vmware as guest operating system but in vain i gave up. What is the guest OS? Is it a supported OS? If not, do not expect the installation to run successfully.
    also i dont have account-access to metalink so pls dont refer me there since its not free. Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating...appreciated in advance.Without having access to MOS docs, do not expect to get the complete steps. Plus, we cannot post the contents of MOS docs since this violates Oracle Support agreement policy.
    I am not sure what do you mean by "Pls if you are not sure dont fill-up my space with unhelpful messages. For correct working steps i will give you a big credit rating" but I should mention few things here.
    - All the replies above are helpful, but you insist to use unsupported OS (you are wasting your time and ours by doing this)
    - If you did install a supported OS, please mention the OS along with the complete error message
    - You do not have access to MOS website, which is a must for anyone who wants to do Oracle EBS installation
    - What does "not sure" mean in your line? We do not fill-up any space with unnecessary messages (I agree sometime people do, but NOT in this thread)
    - If you really need help, then you better review your replies and respect that you are getting help from people who volunteer to do so without getting any credit in return
    Thanks,

  • Can we install Oracle 10g on Vista Home Basic Edition

    Hi,
    Please suggest me weather Oracle 10g is suitable in Window Vista Home Basic OS
    or should I replace it with window XP

    Dear UG!
    It depends on what you want to do with your Oracle database. If it's only for developing and testing purposes then you might use Windows XP or Windows Vista. I would personally suggest you to use Windows XP because you need a special version of Oracle 10g for Windows Vista but if you plan to deploy an Oracle application on MS Server 2008 with Vista clients then you should use Windows Vista.
    I don't know if this is really helpful but I hope so.
    Yours sincerely

  • It just makes me so mad while using windows vista home basic in bootcamp.

    there are sooo many problems while running in windows vista home basic..
    First..
    the computer gets really **** hot after several minutes and the fans just never kick in at all...
    second..
    the system is soo unstable, is it because of the high temperature?
    what all of these about??
    is there any problem with my drivers or anything?
    i thought apple says that windows will work perfectly in bootcamp..
    i'm sooo disappointed. and i really need it to work well most of the times
    but what is going on ? please..
    i have the 2.5ghz MBP..
    but it's like a 0.5 ghz while running windows.. sooo unstable and there are soo many problems!
    also it shuts down by itself .. the blue screen says physical memory n stuff...?
    it that my problem or the computer ?
    did i do anything wrong?
    someone please help.
    i don't want my mbp runs like a tiger or something only under MAC OS x. and like a weak sick cat loses all its power while running windows?
    if I have done any thing wrong .. please somebody tell me and i'm gonna fix it.
    but if everybody has the same issue .. i think i will be just sooo mad of buying this computer..

    Essentially all you have done here is create a list of complaints without really providing a lot of information about your problems. Maybe if you gave us some specifics we could help. And to answer one of your questions: yes, you can have windows running absolutely fine in BootCamp. My Vista copy works fine without an problems and it is quite fast. I've actually never had a Blue Screen with it. It is true that macs as a rule use fewer system resources and so will probably be faster for some basic tasks, but it shouldn't be too a point where you notice much of a difference.
    Now for that memory problem you described. How much RAM does your computer have. Vista uses a lot of RAM and if you run a lot of applications at once in Vista, you might be overloading your RAM.

  • How to upgrade the Vista from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium

    Hi there just joined the forum, so hello to everyone.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction with my problem.
    I have tried to sort it out myself but I just don't understand what to do.
    I have had my Toshiba Laptop preinstalled with Vista home basic now for six months, everything was fine so I decided to upgrade to Home premium.
    I upgraded no problem and everything was fine until I had problem with the laptop and had to reformat.
    And there is my problem, through being a little naive and silly I have no record or instructions to get my upgrade back.
    I have tried to look for a solution but Just don't know what to do.
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated,thanks in advance.

    If you contact Microsoft where you originally purchased the product key and explain that you've recovered your system but didn't write down the product key for the update they should be able to give you a new one and you can use the Windows Anytime Upgrade icon in the welcome centre again.
    That should allow you to upgrade again. For future reference though, you should write down the product key and anything else that you need in case you need to recover your machine again. Good luck :)

  • Satellite L300 - Upgrade from Vista Home Basic to Home Premium issues

    Hi all,
    I just recently got a Satellite L300 with an OEM version of Vista Home Basic.
    I have a copy of Windows Vista: Home Premium (upgrade) disc and decided to use it on the laptop.
    I put the disc in, and followed the steps however the upgrade option is blanked out... This is if I use the product key provided with the disc or not.
    The laptop came with Service Pack 1 already installed and the disc I own was released into the shops before Service Pack 1.
    My main question really is how can I get my disc to upgrade my version of Vista. I have tried searching Google, this website, Microsoft's website and I keep getting the same answer.
    Basically go through options and do anytime upgrade. All of these are for me to buy from Microsoft which would be kind of pointless as I already have a copy.
    I did read something at on a site that stated my disc would have to have the service pack on the disk and I seen a website with some kind of disc editing program for Vista but im not too keen on using it and the 'how to' wasn't very easy to understand.
    Also, im not too keen on calling either Toshiba or Microsoft on premium rate numbers for help with something I have already bought and paid for and should be as simple as a few steps.
    Anyway hope someone can help because I would really like to upgrade.

    Hello
    I understand you and it is really annoying but what to do now? the fact is that Toshiba has offered this notebook with certain Vista version. This version must be offered with best and latest available Microsoft security updates. Due to this Toshiba offers it with latest SP1 option.
    So now you try to install update offered long time ago and probably offered before SP1 was on the market. I understand your point of view but, in my opinion, it has nothing to do with Toshiba now, and you should try to find solution with Microsoft. For example you can also pick up info from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930733
    Clean Vista Home Premium can be installed without any problems. All drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba support & download page.
