Scan dialogue wont open in windows 7 what is the issue?

i am pulling my hair out on this one. Ive just purchased a new Officejet 8600 pro plus and the scan dialogue refuses to open. Ive tried all the usual things, even reinstalled the OS and it still doesnt work.
Why does HP package faulty software with new products, surely they would test this across a broad list of platforms before releasing it.

Hi,
Here is the few checks to know exact problem
1. Did you try to scan from Microsoft Paint program. (Launch paint ->File->From Scanner or Cammera and chose the printer to scan)
2. Also try webscan. Go to your browser, enter the IP address of the printer into the address bar. Now go to scan tab and do the scan.
If above works, then it is something to do with your PC firewall or antivirus. You may try to stop those and do following steps.

  • CS3 Wont Open in Windows 7--AMD Processor Issue--HELP!

    After much, much searching I've found there's been a common issue with AMD Processors on Windows 7 and getting CS3 to run correctly. Apparently a patch was created, that fixed the problem for users with similar issues. But the links to those patches are no longer valid.
    I have no phone right now, chat aint working--and I can't email Adobe of course, soooo someone please...
    The forum I found with those links and explanations is here:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/software/25313-adobe-cs3-64-bit-ultimate-3.html
    From there, this pretty much describes it:
    "Just bought an HP Pavillion Elite with Windows 7 Home Premium and AMD processor.  Photoshop CS3 would install but would hang when accessed. Some forums  suggested that Photoshop CS3 is incompatible with this AMD processor and  Windows 7 (64-bit). I called HP and was told the software is  incompatible. I was just about to return my computer when I found this  forum. I downloaded and installed the patch. I then opened Photoshop  (for the thousandth time) and voila--it FINALLY opened!!!"
    I've also found many other isntances of this complaint with AMD Processors--Photoshop gets a window open then goes into Not Responding. All other applications don't open at all (but are visible in my task manager). So it's not really a Photoshop specific complaint but I'm placing it here.
    I've updated graphics card, changed the desktop theme to Classic, not Aero, tried running the programs in different compatibility modes, all to no avail.
    This patch these guys are mentioning has GOT to be it. Someone help me get back to work!!
    thank you all in advance.

    I had not tried "run as administator." What the hell is that?! I see where to do it and all, but honestly, these permissions
    /security/owner/administrator issues on Windows 7 are nothing short of ridiculous.
    Every time I think Microsoft may have finally done something right...
    I'll try that again down the road. For the moment, looks like Adobe Acrobat 8 is completely incompatible with Windows 7 and almst impossible to delete from the system. SO first task--restoring factory setttings.
    In the meantime I'll speak to that patch for Licenseing:
    Solution 1: I ran it, but didn't seem to do anything. There was no confirmation of a successful "install," or what you might call it. Secondly, when running again, I was never prompted to enter 0.
    Solution 2: I believe those settings were already set as described and so I couldn't really make any changes.
    Solution 3: Those folders don't exist, so couldn't do that one.
    For various other reasons I wasn't having luck with the next couple thanks to stupid permissions. I'll try again once I've gotten back up to speed.
    But yea, someone out there seems to have found a CS3 patch. Am I at least to presume that CS5 would def. work on my comp, and therefore, CS6 is a shoe-in?

  • Window.open() will open separated windows even using the same window name?

    Hi, I have below two test html pages as below(could not find a way to insert a attachment, so paste the content below). The reproduce step is as below: (My environment is Win8.1 with IE11)
    1. Open print_test.html page in IE, here we call page1.
    2. Click "File -> New Session" menu from IE menu bar, which will open another new IE window which display another " print_test.html" page, here we call page 2.
    3. Click "Print" hyper-link in page1, and a popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 3.
    4. Click "Print" hyper-link in page2, and another popup window which display "print_test_open.html" page, counting begins from 1, here we call it page 4.
    However, the behavior above is totally different on my Win7 (64 bit) with IE 10, which is in step 4, when I click "Print" hyper-link in page2, instead of open a new popup window, the window for page 3 will be reused and counting will restart from
    1.
    I googled and know from MDN for window.open() and get below information to indicate that in my test pages, I use the same window name, so that the existed window with the same name will be reused is as expected, but however, why IE behave differently in
    Win8.1 with IE 11? Why the existed window could not be reused anymore?
    If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window.
    The behavior in Win8.1 + IE 11 is similar with what Google Chrome does, and Chrome's explanation is that two separated window using separated processes which do no share information, so that even using the same window name. twp separated windows will
    popup.. So I am confused here, IE 10 and IE 11 are both using multi-process mechanism right? I saw from the Windows Task Manager, when using "File -> New Session" to open another print_test.html page in step 2. both IE 10 and IE 11 are opening
    4 iexplore.exe processes, two of them are 64 bit, and two of them are 32 bit. I can't see any configuration difference between these two envs, but why the behavior is so different? 
    Could anyone give some help and clarify here? Great thanks in advance.
    Oh, btw, another colleague can reproduce the issue (open separated windows even using the same window name) in his Win7 64 bit with IE 10 env, but could not reproduce in his Win 32 bit with IE 10 env... Hope this information could also do help.

    Hi,
    please try in noAddons mode and with the IE Popup blocker turned off. Also ensure you are using the default IE Security zone settings. Internet Options>Security tab, click "Reset all zones to default"
    To debug your scripts in IE11.
    Tools>Internet Options>Advanced tab, check "Always record developer console messages".
    start your test and display the developer tool console to display suppressed errors and warnings.
    (I don't see where myWindow is assigned).
    "If a window with the name strWindowName already exists, then, instead of opening a new window, strUrl is loaded into the existing window. In this case the return value of the method is the existing window."
    window.open has an optional 'replace' parameter...
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ie/ms536651(v=vs.85).aspx
    to reuses a tab or window
    window.open({url},[name],[placement],[replace])
    If possible can you please provide a publicly accessible link to your test pages as we need to inspect the response headers to monitor what is cached.
    or
    f12>Networking tab, click 'Start' button, then proceed with your test plan.

  • Make all open finder windows come to the front?

    Things that used to be so simple on the Mac are now so complicated.
    I have a bunch of finder windows open. Most of them are hidden behind other application windows, like my browser.
    I used to be able to click anywhere on the desktop to make all windows come to the front. No longer. Later, I could do it by mousing all the way over to the Dock and clicking on the Finder icon there. Now even that doesn't work!
    How the heck do you simply make all open finder windows come to the front???

    DrBeckenstein:What to use in its place though?The utilities of choice for Mac OS X are Tech Tool Pro and Disk Warrior. Both of these pick up where Disk Utility leave off. When DU reports errors it cannot repair, you turn to one or the other of these two. Many Mac users like Disk Warrior for it excellent work in repairing and rebuilding directories. I use TTP because it not only does excellent work with directories, but it also does hardware checks, disk optimization, files checks, eDrive (emergency boot drive) etc. In the long run, though, it is largely a matter of personal preference.
    Again, I don't know what maintenance procedures you employ, but our Systems get rather sluggish sometimes as caches fill up, preference files become corrupted, the need for Unix maintenance allow CRONs to build up. Here are a few sites that offer good suggestions and links to resources:
    1. Macintosh OS X Routine Maintenance
    2. Maintaining Mac OS X
    3. Mac OS X: How to force background maintenance tasks (logs and temporary items)
    4. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607640&#607640
    I mentioned in my earlier post that if the problem is essentially with one application you can go into Home Folder > Library > Preferences, find the .plis for that application, drag it to the desktop and restart. Check to see if that makes a difference. If it doesn't you can replace the new .plist created with the one on the desktop, or just drag the desktop copy to the Trash.
    In your situation I would run Repair Disk from the install CD, then implement some of the suggestions on maintenance.
    One other thing to note: a too full HDD can cause problems. If it is over 50% full it could need disk optimization. If have near 85% of available capacity used, you are running a risk not only of compromised performance, but also of directory overlapping and, eventually of a crash.
    Good luck.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why does selecting a web link open 2 windows, one with the link and the other the home page? This is a single click of the mouse.

    When I single click on a weblink (usually in an email, Firefox starts up and opens two windows; one with the selected web page and one with my home page. If Firefox is running, it opens a new tab which is what normally occurs. It is only when it is not open that I now get the 2 windows. I have an imac running OSX 10.6.3
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Hi,
    The rolling over from radius servers only occurs on the same wlan and only when the controller deems the radius server being dead. However, if you get rejected from one WLAN but then you reassociate to another WLAN there is no mechanism in place in rejecting the attempt because they previously failed on a seperate wlan. This happens all the time with users connecting on incorrect wlans.
    The failover feature is for when you have multiple servers (usually for redundancy) on the same WLAN. So when user is rejected but radius server 1 the process stops there and the request isnt sent to radius server 2.
    Hope that helps!

    my mothers mac the safari dosent work right the mail the mail wont open up certain emails saying the plugin is blocked etc

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open Mail or Safari.

  • I was login a website ,and i have opened cookies , i want to open another window to login the same website use another account , and in the same windows can use the same account , how can i achieve it ? thinks

    i want to use firefox to login a website ,in the same window and different tags can user the same session
    but when i open other window and login the same website use different account .
    how can i achieve it ? thinks

    Your problem has nothing to do with the faults or limitations of a web browser.
    ''There can be only ONE active user logged in on a specific website during a whole Browsing Session. Even if you try to log-in using a new window it will sign-out the earlier User ID from that website. It will keep the most recent logged-in User ID active.''
    This is the general policy on which all websites are built. Even if you try to login the same website from another web browser, you won't be able to login from the second platform either. I just check it. Tried on Mozilla and Internet Explorer.

    I just purchased Acrobat XI for Mac, downloaded/installed on my MacBook Air, but the software will not open/initialize. What is the problem?

    What is your Acrobat XI version?  If less than 11.0.09 I would suggest that you update, then try again.  Download updates from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Macintosh
    Note that you posted in the forum for Acrobat.com online services; you may get better help if you ask in the Acrobat forum.
