Software-Driver Installation with Windows 8.1

After installing the Win8.1 "upgrade", I was able to print with my Photosmart Premium C410a, but several days later when I first attempted to scan, I was unable to. Though there is an HP Printer Control tile on my Start screen, when I launch it, there is an option to install the full-featured software (which used to be functional). When I'm able to download the software--and it's not always successful--I get the splash screen with the option to Install or Exit. When I choose Install, I get an error message telling me that the system cannot find the file specified. Meanwhile, I have what used to be a fully functional all-in-one that only prints!
Per HP guidance on Facebook, I did a fully uninstall, a clean boot, and then attempted to install, and get the same results.
Needless to say, I'm quite frustrated with HP.

Hi kdbeatty_75
I understand you are unable to install the software. You are getting a message that the file specified can't be found.
Run the installation again.
When you get the error find out the file specified not found name.
Then copy the 7z directory to another folder on the desktop by the name file specified can't find.
Go to the start up screen, (tiles menu) type
%temp%. Look for the 7z folder (example 7zs2356) right click on the folder and select copy, close that window, on the desktop, right click and select paste. Right click the folder and select rename, type in the name of the file not found, press the enter key.
Close out the installation.
Run the installation from the new folder. Should have one called setup or setup.exe.
Here is a post of the same issue that had been resolved. Click Here.
Let me know if those steps worked properly.
If not please let me know the results.

    Hi. I have set up the trial versions of Photoshop CC 2014 and Lightroom 5.6 (ie the Photography plan) on a desktop that I have added a new drive to with Windows 7. Everything works fine BUT it is an old computer and I'm thinking that it may pack up unexpectedly. These things happen. I want to sign up for the Photography plan but I also have a Windows Vista laptop, and that is old too so I may want to put the apps on a new desktop and a new laptop, having already installed on my desktop. That makes three activations. Am I allowed to do this? Cheers. Paul

    You cannot have three activations. It's simply not technically possible. If and when the time comes, you simply deactivate/ sign out on one of the old systems and install on the new one. If the system goes belly up, you contact support to reset your account. No need to make it more complicated than that and overthink it.

    Hello Marc,
    Do you mean than you want everyone have their own personal share folder? And need to limit the folder size?
    I think you can use the FTP server function in Windows server.
    About FTP, it is recommended to ask in the Windows server forum, the professionals there will be glad to help you.

  • MOVED: Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    This topic has been moved to Operating Systems.
    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

  • Driver issues with Windows 7 installation through Bootcamp

    Some background:  I've got Windows 7 62 bit installed on a 30 gb partition via Bootcamp.  My Macbook is from the summer of 2010, and it's currently running Snow Leopard.  I don't have a copy of the Mac OS X installation disc (it didn't come with my Macbook), so instead I downloaded the drivers off the Apple website (Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033) and put it on a flashdrive.
    Issue:  Once I've got Windows running, I can't begin the driver installation.
    Attempted Fix:  Initially I got the message that I needed extended privileges to be able to access the installation setup, so I used the runaround (command prompt) to give it the privileges necessary to run the setup.  The drivers appeared to install, but nothing really changed.
    I used this runaround: http://joepetruska.com/wordpress/?p=208
    However, I didn't have the file bootcamp64.msi, so I used bootcamp.msi.  I checked all the driver folders, but I didn't see bootcamp64.msi. 
    Any and all help would be appreciated!

    First of all, windows is either 64 bit or 32 bit, not 62 bit.
    Second thing, do you have Macbook Pro? since you have mid 2010 macbook but it is not supported by the Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033 for MacBook Pro 13 inch-Mid 2010 is not supported.
    Instead of this you need to download and install
    Boot Camp Support Software 4.0.4131
    for which system requirements are :
    MacBook (Late 2006 through Mid 2010)
    MacBook Air (Early 2008 through Late 2010)
    MacBook Pro (Core 2 Duo, 2.4/2.2GHz, Early 2008 through Late 2011)
    Mac Pro (Mid 2006 through Mid 2010)
    iMac (Early 2006 through Mid 2011)
    which matches your system requirement.

  • Driver issue with Windows 8.1 on new iMac 2013

    Just got a brand new iMac and am attempting to install Windows 8.1 on it. The Boot Camp Assistant kept timing out on the support software download so I downloaded Boot Camp 5.0.5033 from Apple support and put that on my external FAT drive.
    I was able to get Windows installed, but when I attempted to run setup.exe off of my external drive, I got a "Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I was able to work around this by running bootcamp.msi from a DOS prompt in administrator mode at which point the install seemed to go through successfully.
    Despite that, I'm still getting no love on WiFI, bluetooth, audio, etc. I'm attempting to download again through Boot Camp Assistant on the hope that there's a later version for my machine that's not yet available for direct download but am not optimistic.
    Any thoughts/ideas would be great appreciated. Note that I am running the latest everything on the Mac side (recent 10.8.5 Combo). 
    Thanks in advance.

    Actually, that link is exactly what got me in trouble. Use Boot Camp Assistant to get the drivers.
    As of this writing, Boot Camp 5.0.5033 will not adequately set up your drivers on a new iMac with Windows 8.1.
    The only way I was able to get the WiFi working was to use the drivers automatically downloaded by Boot Camp Assistant. Presmably this is a newer version than 5.0.5033 but I haven't been able to find it anywhere else for download. 
    I should also note that I was having some DirectX issues running graphics intensive software even after updating through Boot Camp Assistant. These were resolved by downloading the latest driver for my video card (GeForce 780M). There might be other issues that will require a manual driver update but I've yet to run into any more.
    Best of luck.

  • HP PSC 1510 driver issue with Windows 8.1

    I can't get my HP PSC 1510 all in one to work with Window's 8.1.  I've installed HP doctor and the driver fails.  I've downloaded the new driver so I don't know what the issue is?  Anybody solve a similar issue?

    Hi @DerekRL , and welcome to the HP Forums!
    I can see you're experiencing driver issues.  I'd like to help!
    I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
    Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration.  You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • Display and driver issues with Windows 7 on i5 MBP

    Hello-
    I just purchased one of the i5 Macbook Pros, and set out to get Windows 7 working through boot camp. I did this on an older model (32-bit) previously with no problems.
    This time around, installation of Windows worked fine, but I have had some trouble getting all the drivers working. The setup.exe program on the OS X DVD didn't want to run at all, I had to do a workaround from the command line that I found on a forum (otherwise I just got a response of "Bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model").
    Eventually I got (at least some of) the drivers to work, but there are still some issues.
    After installing the drivers, things like brightness and two-finger clicking started working. A number of other things still aren't, though:
    - Display: My machine has a 1440x900 screen. But for some reason Windows refuses to go higher than 1280x800.
    - Network: No wireless at all. Windows doesn't detect any wireless capability, and only gets on-line via ethernet.
    There may be other issues, but these are the big ones. Can anyone provide suggestions on what to do to get everything working?
    Thanks!

    I just used winclone to move my Win 7 from my Core2Duo MPB to an i5 MBP and had to do a few updates and have eneded up in pretty much the same place as you. I won't bother installing from scratch. I'm guessing we just need to wait for some bootcamp updates for these new machines.
    For those of you who are looking to migrate your bootcamp partition over, winclone made it easy - I followed the directions for resizing and Win7 boots, does a disk check, then installed many of the new drivers automatically. There are some drivers that are still needed however, wifi and video. I also so a USB driver issue but have to look at that a little closer before I comment.
    Best of luck,

  • Problems with RAC installation with Windows 2000 Advanced Server

    Hello,
    I've two servers in cluster mode with W2K Advanced Server, and a RAID-5 array of 4 disks shared by both of them. My problem is that I've installed The Cluster Service of Windows in order to have an active/passive configuration of my servers, because I have a common directory structure that is accessed by the PC's of the LAN.
    By another hand, I want to install Oracle Real Application Cluster to manage my Oracle database but after create the extended partition and the logical drives when I execute the file \preinstallation_rac\clustersetup\clustersetup.exe to create the cluster, when I select the option Create a cluster the following error message appears me:
    "Any disk Oracle partition has been found. Stop this wizard, create an Oracle partition and try it
    again."
    I'd like to know if it's possible to have the Service Cluster of Windows 2k and the Oracle clusterware?¿ Altough before begining the installation I've stopped my Cluster Service as documentation suggests. If somebody knows what it's happening to me I'd be really very grateful.
    Thanks in advance,
    Isabel

    Hello Joel,
    I've already read all documentation provided by Oracle about Real Application Clusters
    and I've not found anything to solve my problem. Certainly I want to use OCFS but when I
    try to execute preinstall_rac\clustersetup.exe to install CFS the error appear and I can't
    continue with RAC installation.
    Besides I've tried command "lsnodes -v" and got :
    Could not load CM.dll
    Could not initialize cluster
    And when I've tried to run "clustercheck" I've got :
    ** Copy File: Create Directory failed - Error 183
    ** Directory = \\192.168.1.111\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Created directory \\192.168.1.112\Cy$\Temp\opsm
    Could not copy file to other nodes [error = 183]
    I've read metalink Note 186130.1 Clustercheck Fails with Windows Error 183 and the only
    proof I haven't done is get the clustercheck.exe release1(9.0.1).
    Any suggestion will be very appreciated.Thanks,
    Isabel

  • PE 4 Installation with Windows SP3

    Is there a known problem installing Premiere Elements 4 on a system with Windows SP3? I installed it fine on my laptop with SP2, but when I tried on my desktop running with SP3, got an error 1008 "The installation of E:\Premiere Elements\Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0.msi is not permitted due to an error in software restriction policy processing. The object cannot be trusted." Any info would be appreciated.
    AJM

    Art,
    I have PE4 running on my laptop with XP-SP3 with no problems. What I do not remember is if I upgraded to SP-3 before the installation, but *think* that I did.
    The only problems that I encountered were with CS2 Production Studio. I had to do a bit of cleanup and file copying to get Bridge to work, and then had to do a "repair install" for P-Pro and Encore, but all is working well.
    Do not recall seeing an error 1008 before in these forums.
    It *could* be that PE4 was written, so that it looked for things in SP-2, and now some file names are changed, in SP-3. Still, I belive that I did my PE4 install after SP-3.
    Good luck, and maybe someone will weigh-in with exact details.

  • Software driver installation

    trying to install a deskjet 2050 special edition using windows 7  driver installer the software installed eventually but only offers one country of use set as the USA instead of offering the full list of countries - is this a mistake surely - even the postcode is accepted as pone from the UK

    Hi,
    That is expected as the printer does not have a screen and therefore do not have any region option within the printer itself.
    Simply select USA and type the Postal Code as 00000 to complete the installation.
