In my experience this occurs when you have the laptop set to use a fixed IP address and you have the other computers on the network set to obtain an IP automatically and the laptop is the last to start. To confirm this, turn off all computers and networked printers, then turn on the laptop alone and see if it works. If so you know this is the issue. If not , it could still be it , just that the IP is the same as the router or modem. For this reason I generally suggest setting all computers on the network to obtain an IP automatically. Note that if she is on a network which requires a fixed IP

Ditto. If I had known I would have bought whiskey not rum last night. Of course the OL prefers rum and she is the one who does most of the drinking.

Well if it goes to desktop just go ahead and create a new user profile. If the other cannot be found, then it and the data on it are gone. But after you have created a new account and logged in , check in C:\Documents and Settings to see if there is a folder there with the other username . If so we can take posession of it and copy the data to the new profile .

But Why is that? Before I used the HP driver, my XP able to find the printer just fine and printed good until a week later, it just disappeared for no reason. What cause the disappearance? Do HP want to "force" the customer to use their software to find the networked printer? No, the biggest reason is to standardize them with the all in ones . The Scanner needs a special approach to allow it to communicate with the computer and be shared over a network. My suspicion is that it is actually a firewall issue. Initially you had no problem and the firewall was accepting the printers "greeting" w

Happy Birthday Tyme. Seems like this happened last year about this time too.

Run the software disk again and choose the network printer option.

At G4, Marsh noted that net framework 4 is out and it does not require previous versions. I uninstalled all previous versions and installed it , and now I get an update that will not install. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Looks like they are abandoning the incremental and doing it right this time around.

Right click yes, but not disable; choose either remove or uninstall , one of them will be an option.

When you first press the power button start tapping F8 once a second right after you hear the POST beep , continue until you get an enhanced startup options menu and choose safe mode. When you get to the login login to the hidden Safe mode Administrator account (if necessary hit ctrl + alt + del to bring up the classic login screen and type the user name Administrator in the box). If she never protected this hidden account , leave the password blank. Now go to control panel => users => common tasks => create a new user account. Give it a different name and password than her old accou

Okay, you gave the make, what model? Same for card? Are you using the included software or windows to manage the connection? http://support.2wire.com/?page=view&article=47&text=full%20duples%20enable&cat=&sort= But it is more likely to be your adapter that has the issue. Have you tried removing it in device manager and restarting?

Howdy and welcome. Glad to see you decided to post , even if it was just once after three years of membership. Still the boards are slow after they were down and any post is a good post.

RST stands for Reset as in TCP RST , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

Any possiblilty mr non computer guy assigned them all fixed IP addresses so when you clone the drive you clone the ip and you cannot have two machines with same ip on the same network? I would just go with clean setup , clean install, with proper protection. Note that it is probably a violation of the EULA to use AVG Free for this commercial purpose and you are open to a huge fine if caught. (like $125,000.00 is the reward they offer for turning someone in for corporate software violations so the fine must be bigger). Since it is a business venture, get proper licensing and documentation and

Wow, that's a pile of pups... Momma looks bewildered. Yes, I think that was probably only the third or fourth time I took her picture, and always before she was outside and not really paying attention to me. Now she watches everything that approaches her den. They will be a week old tonight. All still healthy and beginning to get more distinctive markings. The boys make far more noise than the girls.

I thought this was going to be about the weather. Here in Texas it is hot, abnormally hot for this time of year. Al Gore is getting his vengeance for Tippers divorce. This weekend it was 95 Sat and Sunday; today was 96, tomorrow is supposed to be 97, 100 on Friday and as high as 105 by next Sunday.

This thread reminds me I need to check out giveaway of the day more often.

Ah, so many confuse Memorial Day with Veterans Day. Memorial Day is for remembering all who died or were wounded in battle on both sides both military and civilian that we may remember the true cost of war and freedom, and weigh this carefully before embarking down the grim gray road to war again. It was first widely observed May 30 1868 to commemorate the losses and sacrifices on both sides of The Civil War. Originally it was known as Decoration day, and people were urged to go to cemeteries and care for and decorate the graves of war casualties who had no relatives to do so. http://www1.v

Sure did not seem that it was down for that long; but sure is quiet here these days. Hopefully the regulars will return and traffic will pick back up. Of course it is Memorial Day weekend so I guess that could explain the silence. Have a good one, toss something on the grill and raise a beer in memory of those who have lost their lives in that human endeavor known as war.

AAARRRRGGGHHhhhh keep clicking wrong button. I have seen this before after a malware infestation. One of the registry keys has been altered / locked and windows installer is unable to create a new folder (temp in most cases) in the %username/appdata/ ..... . The malware does this to prevent you from installing things like malwarebytes and antivirus but it ends up bunging up all kinds of installers. Check your system / event viewer logs and see if you can spot a folder / path that is involved . If I can remember the fix I will post. I think it is just a simple regedit to restore the path.

Good to see things back up and running . I like the changes I can see on the site; easy to miss at first since the forums basically seem unchanged.

Generally speaking these hundreds of entries might add a few nanoseconds to the loading time of the registry as it is built from the hive files; but they remain inactive and do not affect your machine while it is running. Basically they are harmless and you risk worse problems by removing them than leaving them. Yes; if you are having specific problems such as the application refusing to reinstall because it finds a registry key from the previous install and thinks it is already installed then you need to find and remove those entries. Sometimes visible entries such as a send to , save as,
