Windows 7 hangs at desktop when installing IEEE 1394 Controller driver

Hi Guys,
This is a repetitive problem for me, my win7 always hangs at the desktop whenever it tries to install the driver for the IEEE 1394 Controller. Does anyone have a solution for me?
Thanks.

I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

Thanks for the quick reply.
So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
Thanks again for the help.

Windows Installer error message when installing or removing iTunes

When I try to either upgrade, install, or remove iTunes, I get this message:
"The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if you are running Windows in safe mode, or if the Windows Installer is not correctly installed. Contact your support personnel for assistance."
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Windows 7 only works when install disc is in the drive

Background:
Macbook Pro 7,1 (13 inch, bought in early 2011)
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Boot Camp Assistant 3.0.4 on Mac
Boot Camp 3.3 on Windows 7
Windows 7 is burned to a DVD. It was downloaded as an ISO through my school's Academic Alliance with Microsoft (a.k.a MSDNAA - Microsoft Development Network Academic Alliance).
Story:
I've been trying to get Boot Camp to put Windows 7 on my Mac for some time now. I've followed the manual/guides for my computer, which in short followed these steps:
Partition drive
Insert Windows 7 disc
Start installation
Install Windows
Download and install Windows updates
Insert OS X install disc
Install Boot Camp
Upgrade Boot Camp to 3.3
That all seems to work well and fine, but sometimes I would have problems where upon restarting I would have to hold the Option key to choose to load Windows, instead of Mac OS - that's fine. I would see the Windows drive and chose it, but then it would always freeze. Eventually I tried leaving the Windows 7 install disc in the disc drive and when I held the Option key I would see the Windows Install disc as an option to boot as well. I tried booting with that chosen, and everything would work fine. That's how I was able to do steps 5-8 in my above list (because whenever my computer had to restarted, I had to choose the Windows Install disc).
Now, with everything installed and updated, and with no disc in the disc drive, I started up my Mac and choose to boot Windows, but it freezes within 10-30 seconds of logging in (just like before). However, with the Windows 7 install disc inserted, and choosing to boot through it, it works. This doesn't seem right.
Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I might resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance; and let me know if I can provide any more information for you.

bought in early 2011
Those Macs do better wtih Lion drivers. Even if you install Lion not on internal drive but elsewhere.
A lot/most burned ISO like yours can even install but are bugged with problems if you didn't also do the burn at the slowest burn speed. Which sounds likely.
Last two: Windows partition was too small and doesn't have the free space for all the updates.
Finallhy, test RAM with memtest either Windows DVD which is a good way really, or from Terminial in OS X (where you can run dozens of little concurrent memtest windows and make short work even doing 5 loops x 256MB memory at once)

P30: External HD isn't detected when using IEEE 1394 cable

My P30 won't/ can't detect my newly aquired Western Digitak Extreme Lighted Drive 320GB when I connect it via the firewire port. I use a 6 pin to 4 pin cable (which cost a fortune, by the way) that is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a pc.
My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".
Can anyone tell me what to do? I really need to connect this drive by firewire because I need the USBs for other devices.
Thank you!

This may sound like an obvious problem, but is the drive:
1. Set to Master on the jumpers?
2. Formatted?
If the drive is not set to master, the computer will not recognise it using 1394. And if it is set to master, but it has not yet been formatted, the computer will register that something using 1394 is connected, but will not know what to do. To format you right click on My Computer, and select manage.

Code 41 Error when installing my HID keyboard driver with my HID mouse driver

I am developing a HID keyboard driver and a HID mouse driver based on HIDUSBFX2 sample code.
So I added some lines as below into both keyboard driver inf file and mouse driver inf file.

I installed my HID mouse driver first successfully.
And then I tried to install my HID keyboard driver. But the installation was failed with error code 41.
Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)
When I checked mshidkmdf service registry, I can find that Owners value is "oem6.inf, oem5.inf"
oem6.inf - keyboard driver inf file, oem5.inf - mouse driver inf file
And when I checked the log with traceview, keyboard driver was not able to receive any IRP from HID class.
On the other hand, mouse driver received the IRP and reinstalled.
* If I uninstall the mouse driver and then install it again, the driver is installed successfully. I mean that this issue was found when first installation.
Please help me~

if you are filtering below the hid miniport, why do you have separate keyboard and mouse infs? For a filter below the miniport just use one inf and the filter will see both the keyboard and mouse requests (assuming you report a keyboard and mouse TLCs
in the hid descriptor)

When installing a new hard drive?

I'm considering buying a SDD hard drive for my Macbook Pro. But I'm not sure what to do after inserting the drive, or before for that matter. I know how to physically put it in, but beyond that I'm not sure.
I have Mavericks, and I don't have a disc with Mavericks, but I'm told I can make a boot disc with DiskMaker X. So, that's what I'm planning to do.
I also have a lot on my drive and I don't want to lose it. If I use TimeMachine take copy of the complete hard drive, can I simply just install Mavericks from the boot disc I made and then drag the content from my TimeMachine drive to my new SDD and I have the exact same content on my new SDD which was on my old drive?
I have plugins for Elements, FCPX and Logic Pro I don't want to lose. Do I have to install all these plugins once more after installing a new hard drive.
How about Office? With the version I have, I'm only allowed to register one Office. Will my product key be removed when installing a new HDD so I'm able to register it once more?

One does not simply drag content from Time Machine to a new drive. Unlike a cloning utility, Time Machine doesn't store files exactly like they are on the desktop, partly because it tracks multiple versions of each file. While you could restore your system to the SSD from your Time Machine backup, you will need to start up off the OS X boot disc and there will be a utility command on it that will let you Restore from Time Machine. Choose that command and select the new, blank SSD as the target and select your last Time Machine backup date as the source, and run it. It will take a while (possibly a couple hours) for Time Machine to reassemble the last backup from the pile of file versions in Time Machine.
If you wanted to do a straight copy from a backup to the new blank SSD, that is why you will get advice to use a cloning utility instead. If you clone your system to another drive, not only can it be bootable from that disk, you can clone it back to any other drive (like a new one), and it works right away because it really is an exact copy of your files and folders (no waiting to reassemble the system like Time Machine).
Whether you do it with Time Machine or a cloning utility, one way you can never do this is to restore an entire system disk simply by dragging files over. There are too many hidden files, too many files with special permissions and attributes that will not be preserved if you just drag them.
Also, it may not be necessary to have an external enclosure to make a clone. You can also use a drive dock or universal drive cable. But you'll probably want an enclosure anyway, as a place to keep the old drive.

There is no clear answer on the plug-ins. It depends on the mechanism each plugin company uses to register/authorize their plugin. If a company uses hidden files buried in the system to verify a license, that hidden file might not be present in the new system. Or they might invalidate a license if new hardware is detected. You can just bring the plugins to the new system and see, and if they work the don't worry about it, but there is a possibility that at least some may need to be restored.
I have heard of stories that Microsoft Office may be a problem, but maybe they've improved it. When the current version of Office came out apparently some people had trouble getting it authorized on a new machine or disk due to the way activation limits were implemented. There is a possibility that you may have to get on the phone with Microsoft and sort it out.

ThinkVantage System Update 5.02 problem -- System Update hangs or freezes when installing KB updates

Often after installing a KB update, System Update will restart the computer and then resume processing to install the next downloaded KB update. However, after restarting, it always freezes or hangs part way through the next KB install. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, I click on "cancel."   System Update acknowledges cancellation but nothing happens, and when I eventually give up and select "End task" in Windows Task Manager, I am informed that "This program is not responding."
Clearly this is a bug, perhaps arising from an license consent dialog box that fails to pop-up. I have resorted to downloading and installing these KB updates one-by-one after a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on my T400 model 2764CTO.    Service Pack 1 is installed and Microsoft.NET Framework 3.51, which satisfies Lenovo's requirements. I am running BIOS 3.11 and plan to update it, but would like to solve this problem first, as I would hate to experience a freeze during a BIOS update!
Anyone else having this problem, or any solutions?

DID you get the machine from someonelse, outside of Lenovo? DID you upgrade the original o/s?
what o/s?
==
KB are offered by microsoft, not Lenovo/su. Under a rare condition, SU will offer as KB. A known instance, where microsoft offers HOTFIX, but not for monthly update distribution. Lenovo has their version of this KB. Probably this HOTFIX fixes a problem in Lenovo land driver that needs the hotfix.
I am amazed at how many KB fixes show up for your machine!!!
==
Clearly this is a bug, perhaps arising from an license consent dialog box that fails to pop-up. << assumption, please docment.<<<
Always update your BIOS 1st, the Net frame (v4?). Then try the update land.
===
As I would hate to experience a freeze during a BIOS update
Dont BIOS update during a rain storm. or power fauilure. Always use a ISO (cd) version of this.  Download/burn this version in case. Then use the other version, Update from windows. (you now have a backup).
Please research your hardware install guide, as too how to RESET BIOS eeprom.  Get tweezers, change the jump prom clip. BIOS flash from 0. Jump prom clip back. Is this scary, yesl jumper is on mother board.
so
1 3 5
2 4 6
Plastic jumper is 34 56. Change to 1234, and you reload a bios from blank. You can enter UUID, serial number and fun stuff.
Do not loose the plastic jumper. Turn the a/c off. Have reading glasses. But this is the solution to what if BIOS update freezes. Also have a ISO backup of the previous release of BIOS on CD.

Windows update error 800f0246 when installing printer driver

I have Win 7 pro 64 bit and an HP3520 printer. HP site says a Windows 7 driver is available via windows update. When I go into Windows update, the drivers shows up under optional downloads. When I try to download and install it it fails with error code 800f0246. All other updates install fine. I tried multiple times with the same error.
When I go into device manager the printer is listed under other devices with an icon indicating a driver issue. When I try to update the driver it finds the downloaded driver that Windows update downloaded. I select it and it fails.
I have Windows 7 beta still on my laptop and the printer driver installs from windows update just fine.
Any ideas?

No go. Uninstalled, rebooted, tried to reinstall again, still failed. Fails when the printer is disconnected as well. The HP site does not have a driver for manual install. Any links for a driver lead to here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01874792&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=305968 Those steps do not work because the driver in windows update fails to install.

Windows Installer package error when installing itunes.

How can I reinstall Apple Software (Update) on my PC which is necessary to reinstall itunes?
Also when I've tried to reinstall itunes I'm constantly told there is a problem with the Windows Installer. Are there any suggestions? Thank you for any help that you may be able to advise.

Let's try a standalone AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi install.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone ASU install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If not, what error message do you get? (Precise text, please.)

Windows Installer reports errors when installing iTunes

I have a system with Windows XP. I only have 512MB memory. I have made numerous attempts to install iTunes. I actually had iTunes on the computer previously in conjuction with EZVinyl Converter. I was having problems with that and tried to reload iTunes. The download works fine. When I try to install, I get a message saying, "Windows Installer encountered problems before iTunes could be configured. I do not know how to fix the problem.
I use Comodo for my antivirus and firewall protection.

Problem was resolved by solutions offered by B Noir. It was necessary to remove the Temp folder in Local Settings for iTunes to install correctly on my Windows XP system. Thanks for your input.

How do I shrink the size of a window on my desktop when online?

I have a Mac desktop. I used to be able to go to the edge of the window or bottom or corner with my cursor and get a image that I could click and hold to change the size of my open window. I have unloaded and reloaded Firefox but still can't work. Called Apple and went to Safari and it works. Where did it go?

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.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''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.

Windows File Protection error when installing 9i client

While installing the 9i client I am getting a Windows file protection error message on all 5 of the test machines.
If I cancel out of the message the install finishes correctly and everything seems to function properly.
However, it is prety counterintuitive to have to cancel out of the message when we are wanting to do these installs in silent mode.
Anyone else have this problem, or any ideas on fixing?

nm, fixed it myself.
The Oracle install was replacing regsvr32.exe with an old version. When WFP detects a file protection problem, it first looks at the %systemroot%\system32\dllcache dir for a known good copy of the file to restore. If it doesn't find one in there, then it pops the dialog up and asks for a CD. If it does find one then it silently restores it in the background.
So, now at the beginning of my script I have a script checking the dllcache dir for regsvr32.exe, if it is there it moves on to the install, if it is not then it copies the one from their current system32 dir into the system32\dllcache dir. That way when Oracle replaces it WFP will silently restore their previous version.

Windows screen of death when installing iTunes 8

I'm an XP user and have been using iTunes happily for some time. However, I encountered a problem in installing 8. Initially, I had the invalid F: error, but when I plugged in my external drive the message disappeared and the install began normally. Then I suddenly got the Windows screen of death and everything locked up. I re-booted and tried again; I removed the earlier version of iTunes; I went through regedit and failed to find any reference to an F: drive in shell folders (indicated in a previous thread) and am at a loss what to do. Can anyone help?
