Trying to install HP Deskjet 2642 printer...not working

I have tried to download HP Deskjet 2642 printer multiple times, however at the end of the installation, it tells me that the installation failed because the (path, or list of folders) doesn't exist or I don't have access to it. How do I fix this?!
A similar situation happened when I downloaded a game from a website that I paid for. It wouldn't let me open it because I was denied access to (some file).
I have an XPS 18.

mllarwoo,
The only printer I could find with the information you provided is the HP Deskjet 400 C2462. 
A trip to the
Windows Compatibility Center shows that it is in fact supported by Windows 8.1, which is good to know before continuing.
Based on the error message you’re getting, it’s possible that the files are saving to a folder in which you don’t have the appropriate permissions to access due to not being an administrator. 
You should try downloading your file(s) directly to your desktop, or even the Downloads or Documents folders. 
Once they are completely downloaded, right-click on the file and select ‘Run as administrator’.
If you get prompted for administrative credentials you most likely aren’t logged in as an administrator. 
Without being logged in as an administrator or providing administrative credentials, you won’t be able to perform tasks such as installing new software.

  • Trying to install drivers for my scanner, not working

    I'm trying to install drivers for a canon scanner, it's not working. I ownloaded them from the canon website and they are for Mac OS 9, would they still work? or do i really have to get a new scanner?

    Hi Anna
    Which model of scanner is it? Have you checked thoroughly to see whether OS X drivers exist?

  • I have a DVD Acrobat Pro 9. I upgraded laptops and trying to install but the DVD is not readable. How can I get a new DVD or Download Acrobat Pro 1. The product is registered and I have the serial number. PS: Contacting Adobe on this issue is impossible..

    I have a DVD Acrobat Pro 9. I upgraded laptops and trying to install but the DVD is not readable. How can I get a new DVD or Download Acrobat Pro 1. The product is registered and I have the serial number. PS: Contacting Adobe on this issue is impossible... direct support stinks.

    Download AA 9 Pro from http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html. Make a new backup for your archive. You might also take the DVD to your library to see if it is a drive problem. You might also carefully clean the DVD with water and soap (do not use anything that would scratch the surface or you have destroyed it for sure) and see if that solves the problem. This is particularly an issue if you have finger prints or other crud on the DVD. However, it could also be a bad drive as I mentioned. Hopefully the download solves your problem in any case (I would backup the download to CD and/or backup HD).

    HI,
    Sorry to say that there is no HP software for this printer on os 10.5 as 10.6 is the lowest system supported.

  • HT1338 I have the mac os x 10.7.3 and am trying to install a dell v515w printer and am having no luck.  Anyone out there got any ideas.  Have tried to download the drivers but they don't' work.  I read something somewhere about trying the Lexmark.  Please

    I have a mac os x 10.7.3 and am trying to install a dell v515w printer.  Have tried numerous times to find driver, but mac says not compatible.  I read something about using a Lexmark driver.  Any suggestions???
    Thanks so much,

    If there is no driver compatible with OX X 10.7 you might want to consider getting a different printer. It may save hair pulling and aggravation.

  • Trying to install USB 2.0 printer

    I am trying to install an HP 1012 printer on a Gateway PC with MSI 6330 motherboard, AMD 1GHz, 128 M Ram, OS-MSWIN ME. The printer is USB 2.0 only and according to specs from G'way, this board is USB1.0 .Gateway support was not very helpful since they "didn't manufacture the motherboard" and suggested I contact MSI. I have installed a USB 2.0 PCI card ( Dynex) and get same result - recognizes printer but no print jobs sent to printer. It is definitely online and ready. Printer works fine on another PC. I have loaded, and reloaded both printer and PCI card drivers. The BIOS has never been updated since shipped from G'way in '2000. Can anyone suggest anything? Should I flash the BIOS? Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    The printer should work regardless of the port being 1.1 or 2.0, it will only affect speed (probably not since the printer can't print faster, maybe it will be good for a scanner).
    \Is the printer set as the default printer and when you right click it "pause printing" is NOT marked ?

  • HT1222 I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!!!!!!

    I just installed this update and now I cannot access "Mail" at all.  I tried reinstalling the program, but that does not work, either.  Help!

    Paldeng, thanks for the suggestion.  I've done all that.  I can connect to the server, but apparently they are not recognizing my ID and password.  I can use the server program if I don't go through Mail (using the same ID and password).  My mother in another state with another provider has had the same email issue, as also my husband on his laptop who uses the same internet connection I do.  His worked fine until we had it repaired at the Apple store and all the original programs reloaded (with the required updates, I assume).  We can receive email in Mail, we just cannot send.
    I contacted my service provider, and we went over my connections.  They said it was not their problem and connected me with Apple, resulting in a charge to me because my warranty is long expired.  Apple swears it is not their problem, it is the provider, so here I sit.  My son was able to fix my Mom's Mail (she's 97) and got my husband's working also, until mine went out, by tweaking connection descriptions and ports remotely.  The thing is, we had not messed with any of those settings, so what changed?  I just did not want to bother my son again, as he has many other demands on his time.
    Since this fiasco with the Mail v4.6 update, I'm wondering if something else was updated that works well with Lion and Mountain Lion, but does not work well with Snow Leopard and Leopard.  I think the problem I had with the Mail update was that my Mail program had been renamed to Mail (original), and therefore was not being recognized by the update.  Perhaps they had another tweak in there somewhere that is affecting outgoing mail connections?

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

  • I've purchased an app called Metalstorm: Wingman. I tried to install it, but it's not letting me. What should I do?

    I've purchased an app called Metalstorm: Wingman. I tried to install it, but it's not letting me. What should I do?

    First of all - if you are in the purchased tab of the app store - If you tap on "All" at the top - when you find the app - it should either say Installed and it should be greyed out because it is already on the iPad - or if you tap on "Not on this iPad" at the top - when you find the app it should have a cloud icon next to it so that you can tap that and download the app.
    So if the word Installed is greyed out - the app is on your iPad - and that is why tapping install does no good. You can search for the app on the iPad with Spotlight. Swipe to the right from the first home screen and type in the name of the app at the top and see if it does show up.
    If you are sure that it is not on the iPad - or available for download like I described above - I have no idea what the problem is but try some basic troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. See if it will install now.
    Quit the apps store app completely and then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the app store icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Try to download the app again.

    Hi,
    I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
    In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
    The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
    In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
    For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
    More explanation I gave above.
