  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Wrk54g and Vista Home Premium 64 bit

    Hi,  I recently bought a HP Pavillion dv7 laptop.  I had extreme difficulty with the wireless card in it and my router.  It would not allow me browse the internet even though it showed connected.  I finallly was convinced that it was the wireless adapter so I returned the computer and they sent a new one.
    Now I'm running into much the same thing so I'm not sure it is the computer.  Almost every bootup I will get the two computers in the tray showing that it found my  network....many times though it doesn't have the globe giving me internet access.  I have to almost continuously unplug my router from the wall and let it aquire an IP and then reset my network adapter on the laptop before it will work.  In the Network and Sharing center I will get identifying network and it won't until I do the above resets.  Other times it will be unidentifed Network.
    I have upgraded the firmware of the router to the latest update.  I never had this many problems with my sony viao running xp.  Is this an issue with Vista or do I need a different router?(going bad?)  I'm only about 40-50 feet from the router in my living room and it is just frustrating it won't work like it should.
    thanks for any help you can be.
    Mike

    After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch.  If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem.  If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it...
    To reset your router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router... 
    Once the router is configured adjust it's wireless settings...
    Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
    Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    -Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    -Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
    Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
    Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now on your Laptop create a manual wireless profile to connect to your Wireless Network...
    Click on Start then click Control Panel.
    Click on Network and Sharing Centre.
    Click on Manage Wireless Networks, then, remove all the Networks present in the list(right click and select remove network)...
    Click on the Add button.
    Click on Manually create a Network Profile.
    Enter your Network Name(SSID), Security Type, Encryption Type, Security Key/Passphrase and check the box that says " Start this connection Automatically " , click Next...
    It should say successfully added to your Network...
    Close the window and it should connect...

  • Z - Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit - new solutions for hotsync?

    I am heartsick that my new operating system - Windows home premium 64 bit and my Palm Z22 won't sync.
    I'm a little confused by all the computer speak any many of the posts were in 2009. (i.e. is Vista 64 bit, the same as Windows 7 64 it...as it relates to the problem?
    What is an IRDA?  (as in -  using an IRDA to USB adapter to Hotsync a Z22 with a laptop running Vista 64.)
    Is there a new solution out there? 
    Thanks,
    mcgeesmail

    An Ir adapter is a USB "dongle" - that is, it's a short USB cord with an IR "eye" on the end of it.  You aim your Z22's port at this eye to make the connection (usually about 6" to 12" apart).

  • 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.

    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.

    With the newest 15-inch MacBook Pro's on the market and with Parallels 5, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit should work, correct?

    Yes and with Parallels 5 you get full Windows 7 support (Parallels 4 Win7 support wasn't so good) and 5 now runs in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard (Parallels 4 only ran in 32-bit mode) so you can use more than 4GB RAM

    I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version.  I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues.  During the installation process it gave me an error message that said: 
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer.  I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
    Runtime error! 
    Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
    R0634
    An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
    Please contact the application's support team for more information.
    I did not leave anything out from the error message.  It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..."  Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
    How do I repair this issue?  I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse.  I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs.  Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi lustyln,
    I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
    For reference, here are your product specifications:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
    To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
    I hope this helps.

    I am running IE 11 on Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit Service Pack 1. When I attempt to install Flash Player, it goes through all of the steps, tells me the player is installed, and welcomes me. I cannot open the player and it does not appear in the Start Menu, Task Manager, System Tray, or anywhere else. When I try to open a file, the site tells me Flash player is not installed. I have even downloaded it to a separate folder and ran the install with IE shut down completely. And Shockwave in ENABLED but in 32 bit .I have been trying to get this to work for about 3 weeks now.  HELP!!!

    Flash Player is a browser add-on, not an executable program.
    If you need to open a local SWF file you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    Note that the download is the player, not an installer, so you will need to make the file association manually.

  • Nvidia GeoForce Go 7600 graphics driver and IQ770 with Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition

    I have been having problems with my screen for several months now:  every so often, for no apparent reason, it loses some of the pixels.  I can still read the items on the screen, but the resolution is trashed.  It happens intermittently and then goes back to normal.  I have tried uninstalling the graphics driver and letting the computer go find it on a reboot.  This does not work.  I have also tried installing the original graphics driver.  This does not work either.
    If I look in the "Problem Reports" area in Control Panel, there is a graphics related error: 
    Error Message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER (Q293078)  The resolution listed is to reinstall the device driver (which I've tried dozens of times without success) or to change the computer's performance settings, which also does nothing.  I still get the occasional loss of screen clarity which returns to normal all by itself.
    Is anyone else seeing this problem?  Does anyone have a resolution?
    I have tried the latest graphics driver available on the hp website, from 8-2008 as well as the originally installed version from January 2007.  The version of Windows is Vista Home Premium 32 bit edition, Service Pack 1.
    If I completely uninstall the graphics driver, and do not reload any, the screen performance is fine, but then there are other problems, such as graphics acceleration.
    Thanks for your help.
