HP C6180 will not work on windows 7

OK, I have seen that other people are having this same problem in other threads but I cannot see it resolved anywhere.
This is the problem.
My C6180 worked perfectly on my old PC with Vista.
I now have a new PC with Windows 7 64 bit.
I downloaded the new software & drivers from HP for my printer and operating system.
It installs to the point that it wants to detect the printer on the network.
When it tries to do this it comes up with the message 'We were unable to locate your printer on the wireless network'
I have tried connecting both by ethernet and wirelessly.
Neither option can find the printer.
It then gives you the option under advanced options to search by IP address. I have tried this too and still no good.
The printer is working fine with other PC's on the network running Vista & XP, so the printer is connected to the network fine.
Funnily enough, my PC can also find the printer and I can even print from it directly from other programs, but cannot adjust any properties or scan or fax.
HP solution center will not open because it states that 'HP solution center cannot run because your device installation is not complete'
I have tried every option I can think of and non of them work.
I have spent around 10 hours tring to resolve this as I desperately need to scan and adjust printer properties.
If no one can help I will have to go and buy a different printer which will be a great shame as I only recently purchased this one and think it is great (or at least I did on Vista!)
Please can somebody with some knowledge or somebody that has finally worked this problem out please help me?
I am at my wits end.
Here's hoping.
Many thanks.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You can download the latest official Firefox here: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
You may also have to install [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7u9-downloads-1859586.html Java] (choose either Windows x86 Offline or Windows x86 Online), and [http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ Flash] (choose the Firefox version and also deselect extras).
For the Firefox metro version, please see [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Windows_8_Integration#Elm_Nightly_Builds this]. You can install and use it along with the other version.

Adobe photoshop elements 13 trial version will not work on windows XP. Does this mean that if I purchase the full version, this also will not work on XP?

I have Photoshop Elements 12 and want to try version 13 before I buy. However, when I tried to download the trial version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 13, I was informed that it isa not available on Windows XP. Does this mean that if I buy the full version, it will not work on Windows XP?

Yes, if the system requirements do not include XP then an XP machine will not be able to use it.

HDX 9010nr, Radeon 2600 will not work with WIndows 7

Apparently, HP is not going to support the HDX 9010nr for Windows 7. That's the bad news, the good news is that it "mostly" works.
The only big issue is that the display driver stops every few minutes and then restarts. So you sit there for thirty seconds while the machine recovers. But, it doesn’t support a second screen; and worse, every 10th time the video driver crashes; it locks up the whole machine.
ATI has a version of the Radeon 2600 software that worked with the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7, but it will not work with the shipped version of Windows 7. ATI recommends that you get a version from your hardware vendor. Which brings me back to the first sentence. HP isn't supporting the 9010nr.
The question is do any of the "supported" HP laptops have the ATI Radeon 2600? If so, might that work on the HDX 9010nr?

Perifials will not work with Windows 7

I have a new HP h8 1214 PC WiFi with Windows 7 installed. My old HP ScanJet 4850 and my HP Personal Media Driove 1600 will not install. My previous operating system was XP.
I would like to install the ScanJet 4850 because it can send slides and film strips to my computer to be used in a slide show with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Premiere. I have started a slide show of these items and did not get all of the slides transferred before my old computer conked out.
I would like to use my Personal Media Drive for backup and it also has pictures I would like to be able to obtain.
I don't know if perifials that are not WiFi will install on a WiFi computer. Apparently not!
Any help will be greatly appreciated,

The reason the CD will not work is evident. The CD is for Windows 98, XP Home or XP Professional.
The WIN 7 64bit downloaded driver file is what you need. Download and install the driver.
Here is a link ( see pg 5 and 11) that discussed the power supply for a PMD drive, your's may vary. But you must have a power supply (modular plug with cord), or brick/adapter (has AC cord into power supply, then another cord that supplies DC).

My scanner on the MF4370dn will not work with Windows 8 or 8.1.

I have a Canon MF4370dn which the scanner portion has not worked right since I got a computer with windows 8 and will not work at all since I downloaded windows 8.1.
I have reloaded the scanner tools, tried the Presto! PageManager that came with the oomputer. I have downloaded the latest drivers for the scanner from the site.
It worked with Windows 7 fine, but that computer no longer is functional and I use my scanner often.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Fixed my own problem by redownloading and installing the Windows 8 (x64) drivers and the toolbox software. Thanks anyway.

HP 2311C USB Monitor will not work with Windows 8.1

Just done a clean install of Windows 8.1 on my HP Spectre XT Pro.
The HP2311C monitor is working fine as a USB hub and the built-in Network card but will not detect the monitor as a USB monitor.
This was working when it was a Windows 8 build and previous Windows 7 build.
I have downloaded and installed all the HP drivers and run the HP Support Assistant to make sure everything is up to date.
My two other collegues who have done the same upgrade with the same kit and are also having the problem.
If we plug the HP2311C into a Windows 8 or Windows 7 machine the USB monitor works fine.
Tried several reboots, connections and uninstalls, which have not worked. Also there are no event logs to suggest an anwser.

I am having the same problem with my SPECTRE PRO 13 and Windows 8.1 - most unhappy about it. There is no 8.1 driver for the L2311c and I get no help out of HP as to when there might be one . These items are not cheap in NZ and I feel I have wasted my $$. It works fine on XP!

Firefox v. 29 will not work with Windows XP in accessing Comcast email.

My Comcast email will not load and I cannot access any email after installing Firefox v. 29. I went to Microsoft web site and installed the Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. This did not help. Do I need to reinstall Firefox 28? The only other solution is to get a new computer it seems with Windows 8.1 and I'd rather not unless absolutely essential.

Moses: a tech rep at Comcast finally told me they needed to do some upgrades to make the full version of their email program compatible with Firefox 29. He set the email on 'Lite' which seems to work. This was the 4th call to Comcast! Now email seems to be working due to this change. Thanks for the suggestions.

Printer will not work on window 7

I have a Lexmark 4200 series printer and downloaded the cd on windows 7. It will not print. I try installing the program and then I was going to try and reinstalling but when I do it says you can't install until the printer is through printing??

Open Devices and Printers in Control Panel. Right-click the printer in questions and click Remove Device.
Install a printer
Is this the driver download?

ITunes update will not work on WIndows 7 PC

I rec. a message for an iTunes automatic update. There was an error so I clicked try again. Then I got a message to try a manual update except now iTunes will not open. I then uninstalled it and tried to re-install but I get a message that MSVCR80.dll is missing. Went to Microsoft and installed Microsoft Visual C++2005 Service Pack 1 Redistributable Package MFC Security Update which is suppose to reinstall the missing .dll file. Then I tried to reinstall iTunes but I keep getting the MSCVR.dll missing message.
This is one big runaround!

My Photoshop CS (£500 at the time) will not work with Windows 7, what am I supposed to do about it?

I have just spent at least two hours messing about trying to activate my Photoshop CS (using a new hard disk) until finally being told (via a long useless telephone call and two long chat sessions) why I can't activate it, and also that it cannot be replaced by CS2 because that is only for Windows XP which of course is to be faded out next year! It seems to me unreasonable that such a large expenditure (£500 at the time) should be casually dismissed as CS being 'not being compatible with...' and it being a very 'old' program. It was working well for me. Why am I supposed to have to pay for another version? Is this even legal? At the very least there should be some special offer for people in my position.
Photoshop justify this?

Dear Old Bob..I enjoyed that! I and thanks so much ...I would have done it if I could have done it but I was blocked by Photoshop at every stage! Thankfully my own IT Guru and friend came to the rescue remotely last night and has down-loaded it. But it took him quite a bit of time.
As XP is faded out, there will be an awful lot of people like me complaining.
But truth is my problems are only at a start! About 30 prints (some not yet on my 'blog' (juliamatcham.wordpress.com) all have varying settings which I have noted. Everything depends on these settings.
All are Apple RGB (although my computer is a PC) and they were all set for my printer Epson Photo 1800. Also they were set at varying settings...Standard or Vivid 1.5, 2.5 whatever suited the design.
These settings appear not to exist on CS2 which is a nightmare for me as each print was carefully proofed with a great deal patience and at some expense as in the end one has to use expensive paper even for proofing.
If you have any hints for how to translate these old settings...I would kiss your feet!
Just looking through how things work, I can't understand why I can't change my first printing option to landscape ...everything esle so far seems comprehensible.
I do hate change!
Meanwhile, thanks so much to Curt, Noel, Nahraka and Old Bob for cheering me on. I am obviously going to be back asking more questions about CS2!

Quicktime will not work in Windows

For the past few months, I've experienced trouble with Quicktime. I would try to view a video on Apples website, and it would fizz out like a bad tv broadcast, then lockup saying there was an error, report, blah blah. I figured it was Apples website. Well today I tried to install a Total Training video, and when it searched for Quicktime, I got the same error, the program install locked up, and asked me to report the error, etc. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no luck. Please help!

Lets do a few things.
1. Update QuickTime. http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
2. Open up QuickTime player.
3. Click on Edit> QuickTime Preferences>Advanced.
4. In the center of this section there is a "Video" section select Safe Mode.
5. Click on Ok and go ahead and close out of QuickTime.
I have also noted that there are SEVERAL bugs with QuickTime and Nvidia Chips.
A few things I suggest you do is to update all of your drivers, and install any pending Windows Updates.
Please post if this worked for you.
