  1. oh this is going to be a stupid question...did you try rebooting?  if so then forget I asked this.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Not a stupid question, after all I am blonde ;) (Okay trying to find some humour in this!) yes I've rebooted....many times lol....the computer is now communicating with my xerox, but it's still not printing..There is a box that comes up saying what page it's printing and what % is done and it says it's printing but it doesn't do anything..doesn't lift the paper, nothing..maybe something is physically wrong with it altho I can't imagine what, I haven't moved it and it worked perfectly 2 weeks ago on my old computer :(

  2. That's right, that's what I did the first time.....then I uninstalled the software (for both printers) and reinstalled it (all correctly by having no cords plugged in, the hub on the right spot, rebooted etc etc....) and the 2nd time I clicked Yes and it said everything was installed correctly but nothing will work. When I try to print on the HP it says the driver is missing...when I try to print on the Xerox, it says it's printing but nothing comes out. All my ink are brand new cartridge$$

  3. I can't get my xerox printer/fax/photocopier WorkCentre M940 to work either....this is a new computer with XP and it's the first time I've tried to use the printers with it....I am using a hub too (belkin data switch), they both worked fine when connected to my ancient win98 computer....everything is installed fine, and it reads fine when I do the "tests" but it won't print when I bring up a picture....this is really aggravating, I have an entire weeks worth of daycare lessons to print for next week :( The xerox is the only one showing as an installed printer...the HP doesn't even show up altho I got a message saying "your computer has been successfully installed" despite the not digitally signed , driver isn't compatible with xp warnings, ugh.

  4. Yes I've gone to the HP page........I insert my disk.....I go to Start>Control Panel>Printers and Hardware>Printers and Faxes>Add Printer

    It's not in the list, so I click HP and then Have disk....I point to where the disk is in the CD Rom drive, and it says the driver is not digitally signed...I tried to point to "have disk" again and it does nothing. Everything I read says that this HP is not compatible wtih XP unless I have an updated driver. Any place I look for a driver says that it's not available for XP......

  5. well that didn't help, I'm still lost with no sound :(

    (ooops this comment is not directed at you dragon...it was for the updated driver that I downloaded, it didn't work...)

    Trying to roll back and updating the driver you suggested, dragon...I'll be back ;)

  6. I swear I'm going to scream! I just got a new computer (thru rent to own, yes it's under warranty but then I'd be without it for who knows how long :( )

    I went from a 7 year old computer that finally lost sound and colour to a brand new XP computer. I rebooted the other day and now I have NO sound. My daughter was also playing her music quite loud prior too, but we've tried 3 sets of speakers. I also cannot get sound from plugging in headphones both in the back and in the front. I'm not to familiar with XP yet so I'm not sure where to go to check things out. I did find Start>Control Panel>Sound,Speech and Audio Devices>Sounds and Audio Device and it says I have no audio device. The device it should be using is C-Media AC-97 ....I've tried going thru the troubleshooting but it doesn't get me anywhere. It says the device cannot start (code 10)

    Edited to say that I have tried to update the driver, but there were no newer updates

    Can anyone help me fix this without having to take it in?

    Thanks :)

  7. well since Kat took MY first secret ;) (yes seriously, only it's not really a secret to those who know me LOL)

    1. I hate olives and gag just at the thought of them

    2. I'm afraid of the dark...don't ever watch the movie Darkness....

    3. I'm addicted to reality tv shows and the OC.

    (some of this might not be strange to most, but I'm nearly 40 years old lol)

  8. hopped over from that "other" site ;)

    I live in canada with my husband and 4 kids. I've done home daycare for 14 years. My passion is cross stitching (for which I use the computer ALOT!) and I moderate a cross stitch board elsewhere on the web for the last 7 years. I love cats and angels and the colour purple, not necessarily in that order. I just got a brand new computer upgrading from win98 with 4GB to XP and 80GB so I'm still in speed and storage shock ;) Thanks for the message and so glad I found you all over here :)
