HP Scanjet G4050 and Windows 7 Home Premium Ver 6.1

I bought the G4050 photo scanner years ago and it worked fine with my old laptop windows XP operating system for the time I had it. But shortly after, I upgraded my laptop to a Dell XPS with a Windows 7 Home Premium. I've never been able to use my scanner since and its been sitting in a box for years now collecting dust. Is there anyway I can make the G4050 work with my Dell XPS lap top which operates with Windows 7 Home Premium operating system? Or am I better off bringing the scanner to the dump after only having ever used it a couple of times. All this new technology has made life very much more complicated if you ask me.

Hi there @yvans2105,
I saw your post about the issue you are having with using your Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner with your Windows 7 system.
My suggestion is to download and run the full driver and software and install the scanner on your computer. You should be able to use it afterwards!

If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions: click here.

Can I change the OS of Touchsmart 610 from Windows Home Premium to Windows 7 Pro?

I have 610 1100me system loaded with Windows Home Premium 64 bit. We bought it from Dubai and is in use in Pakistan. It started giving problems after few weeks of use. Its' hard disk makes noise and sometimes, system could not find boot disk. Most of the times blue screen of death and hanging issues. Any idea about this issue and how to fix it? My observation is that the culprit is hard disk!
Also, can I change its OS to Windows 7 Pro or ultimate (32 or 64 bit)? Where can I find all drivers for Pro or Ultimate?
Many thanks for your valueable advice.
Regards,
KK

Hi,
Nearly nothing change interms of drivers required for Windows 7 (HP, Pro, Ultimate) unless you switch from 64 to 32 bit. You can reuse your current HP 64 bit drivers for 64 bit W7 Pro or Ultimate.

How do I re install windows home premium OA?

I had windows home premium OA on my computer , but I believe it was accidentally uninstalled from my hard drive. I have the product key that is on my computer. I was having trouble finding the correct link to reinstall it on my lap top.
When I went to the microsoft Website all I found was support for windows 8 . Can you give help me with the proper link? thank you

Please provide the manufacturer and model of your pc.
It is possible you have a hidden recovery partition on your hard drive which may be used instead of a recovery disk to restore your system (and Windows) to factory defaults.
Recovery procedures vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.
You should also search for any recovery disk/s that were supplied with your pc. Manufacturers invariably charge a significant fee to supply replacements.
If you decide to use borrowed/downloaded media to reinstall Windows on an OEM pc, the process may not be straightforward. Without some experience and patience you may end up with no other option than to pay a professional to finish the job.
Microsoft does not publicly provide download links for Windows. While you may stumble upon an official download source, beware that many unofficial sources will come pre-loaded with viruses, trojans etc.

Scanjet G4050 and 64-bit MS Windows 7

My Scanjet G4050 will not work with MS Windows 7. It performs fine under XP. The problem seems to be that the HP interface reports not being able to see the device. There is, however, connumication with the device on some level since I can hear it responding to some initial commands from the computer. The error HP error messages are unhelpful. Any ideas?

HP Scanjet G4050 in Windows 7 (64 bit) Error specification 4,[(2,0,8004154),(0,0,0),(3,56,0)]

HP Scanjet G4050 does not get well installed in Windows 7 (64 bit).
Running the programme "HP Print and Scan Doctor". Result: Errors translated for you from Dutch, so I do not have the original error formulation:
Device control: correct
Warning in Control Driverprogramme "There is no communication between the driver and the device.
Windows (WIA)-scan: correct
Warning in HP Twain Scan Error specification 4,[(2,0,8004154),(0,0,0),(3,56,0)]

Warning in HP Scan Flow Manager: part of the software is not installed. Uninstalling (even deep uninstalling) and reinstallation of the drivers and software does not change the results.
Prepanel testing: Everything is allright with your scanner ,although not all tests could be performed.
You can scan with Microsoft Paint.
In addition:
Firewall off - did not help.
Deep uninstallation and reinstallation: did not help.
Is there anybody with an idea about how to identify and obtain the missing elements in my downloads?

In addition:
When checking the installed files, there is nothing called "SolutionCenter".

Laserjet 4240n driver does not work with windows home premium 64 bit

I recently was given a HP laserjet 4240n by my employer to use in a remote office. I am using a Windows version 7 home premium 64 bit laptop. I have tried the HP install wizard - no support for this printer. I have tried downloading the "correct" driver - but that doesn't work either.
I assume that there is something wrong but I have spent hours and still haven't been able to figutre out what is wrong and how to fix it!
HELP!
Thanks,
Steve

Installation issue with Scanjet G4050 with Windows 8.1 64 bit

I have recently replaced aa old PC with an HP Envy 23, operating system windows 8.1, 64bit. I am now trying to install my Scanjet G4050. Having downloaded the software HP Scanjet G4050 Photo Scanner Full Feature Software and Driver I am now trying to run it. Two hours after starting the install it is still at 'checking system' and has not progressed. This is the second attempt, having tried last night and had to stop after an hour with it still 'checking system'. I have (temporarily) switched off antivirus/firewalls in case they were an issue. I had no issues with this installation in the past on Vista.
Any ideas what to try next?

Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium

I have installed Windows 7 upgrade on an HP desktop that was running XP Pro. Install went fine exept I have an error "No Audio Device Installed"? yet I have installed the Xfi extreme audio card in its slot. The card works fine with XP. I have gone with the windows update installed the current driver with still no luck. Searched the forums again no luck, have done my due diligence via the internet and with beta drivers and still only have the red X everytime I boot. What can I do to get this card working agian?

Re: Xfi extreme audio SB0790 Windows Home Premium0 As I stated in my first post I did my due diligence and after installing beta drivers for the SB0790 then installing the recommended driver dated July 09 it still does not recognize the device (7 Home Premium). I have gone through every forum google points me to we are not alone, taking advice I've installed then deleted these drivers about 0 to 20 times I've tried compatibility mode "Vista" "Vista SP", "Vista SP2", "XP", and so forth with no luck also running the driver as admin. Every time I update driver in 7 it tells me I have the current driver yet I have a red X and no sound.
I can't believe that Creative does not have working drivers for the final release of 7 knowing that they had 6 to 8 months to prepare. Really poor on their part.

BIOS Compatibility between WinXP Pro and Vista Home Premium

I want to install WinXP Pro on my pc. I have a Desktop 3000 J115, Model 7387-A11 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to make sure that the BIOS can support either OS. If it cannot, I would like to know how to get the correct BIOS. I realize that there may be a few BIOS settings that are different between the OS's.
Thanks

This is not a right forum to post this problem. You should post it in Database General Forum.
I've Windows Vista Home Edition 32 bit.
In my laptop it is running but screen resolution changes to basic colour. Due to this, some graphical distortion occurs in few places. Also, refresh in the query grid needs to be perform when you are scrolling SQL Developer data from top to bottom or vice versa.

Repeatedly asked to install Flash 11 on IE 9 Windows Home Premium 64 bit

From my admin account - I successfully install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player 11. Everything works fine (in that same admin account) until a system reboot. Then I receive messages from websites stating that they want me to install Adobe Flash. I do so and all is well until the reboot.
I have followed all the instructions on the Adobe main troubleshooting pages from uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling, rebooting through the deletion of folders at run %appdat%\Adobe - Flash Folder and %\Macromedia and then uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling etc.
Again, I receive a successful installation message and everything works properly until the reboot. Looks like a lot of users have had this problem, but I haven't found a clean answer. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I followed one suggestion and downloaded and ran Secunia PSI and found no older version of Flash Player installed. I do also have Adobe CS 5 Suite installed. I also started receiving messages from HP Solution Software that it would not operate until the latest version of Adobe Flash is installed. I uninstalled the HP software pending resolution. Uninstalls and reinstalls of Flash were not successful after removing the HP software either.

Hello, I too have experienced the repeating of installing Flash Player after performing a successful install. The PC is running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421, and Flash Player 11.4.402.265. The installation of the latest FP indicates a successfull install. Then when going to any site that uses FP, for example, weather.com, yahoo news, youtube, a message window indicates the latest FP needs to be installed.
I've went through the steps in thread 4613512 (FP uninstaller), 928315 (clean install), 987370 (permissions errors), the steps in this thread including deleting the %Appdata%\Macromedia folders prior to the install, removed references to Adobe 7 in the Windows registry (running Adobe 10.1.4). Also checked that Windows Media Player was not installed. It is not. All of the functions in the steps within these threads seemed to complete successfully. No errors or other problems were indicated. Would you have any suggestions on something else to try? Thank you.

I changed windows 7 ultimate changed to windows home premium

Ok, I want to thank the two people who tried to help me last time. I found out I had to install a new windows. So I went and found my friend could do it but me having windows ultimate he only hand windows 7 home premium... And well now that it works I have
a new problem... Along with the ultimate status gotten rid of, I now don't have the windows office. So like word, PowerPoint and excell.
My question is is there away for me to get it back without a fee or will I just have to go and buy the office pack stuff to replace it?

To begin with, you need to purchase Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office, then install them. Microsoft doesn't allow free installation of Windows/Office. If your PC was shipped with Windows, contact the manufacturer and request for a Windows installation
disk. They may charge based on the warranty status and the company policy.
