Hello, I can often find the following problem on Windows8 which is not updated. - As soon as installing the priner driver by Add wizard or setup program(not WU), the Priner Icon don't appear in Devices and Printers on Windows8. But, I need to wait some times(maybe in between 10 and 20 min.) until the printer icon in Devices and Printers appear. Why does the problem happen ? I think Windows8 don't decide whether Windows8 show default printer icon or the printer device icon downloaded from Windows Update. Please let me know the resolution or KB to resolve this problem. Thanks, Wany View this thread

I purchased and downloaded two games, but the directx components would not finish. I have Windows 7 Home Premium with Directx 11. The message I get when I download the game is " A cabinet file necessary for installation cannot be trusted. Please verify the Cryptographic Services are enabled and the cabinet file is valid." When I try to play the game the message I get is " cannot find import DLL is missing, corrupt, or wrong version File "d3dx9_42.dll", error 126." I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the games, but no luck. I restarted the Cryptographic Services, again no luck. I have no problems playing any other games.…

I have 64 bit computer purchased new in July 2012 running Windows 7 with a Lexmark Interpret S405 printer. It has been installed and running fine for months, and today I requested a print of a page on a website, and it would not print. I received an error message stating that the printer could not communicate with the computer. I tried to clear the request for the print, but the computer did not respond. So I rebooted it. After it restarted, I went into devices and printers to check the printer, and it had the image representing that it needed troubleshooting. Tried it, but it did not fix the problem. Then I received another message: USB Mass Storage Device has …

Hello, I have Windows XP Professional on my home computer and about a week ago I noticed a new icon on the start up screen that said "New Briefcase (2)". I'm not that computer literate where I can go and start trying to delete this or that and i would like to know what would happen if I did choose to delete it? The other thing that changed is the color of the background, it used to be the old blue start up screen and now it comes up white and a box appears that asks if I want to restore my Active desktop. When I pushed yes thinking it would take me back to the old blue screen nothing happens, so I end up going to the control panel and opening Desktop and when my old scr…

I had to do a reinstall of windows 7 ultimate the other day. The update process has been extensive.. just finish one set of updates and another pops up. My fresh install, along with my set of programs that I use all the time left me with a boot time of between 26 and 29 seconds.Now, several days later and dozens of windows updates later I'm at 59 seconds with 22 more updates to do after this last reboot.One would think that updates to a program would stream line it, not hinder it's initialization. Is there a list of processes somewhere that are really not needed to boot up the computer? I'm at the point where I'm again ready to revert to windows XP so this constant u…

I received a telephone call from India regarding the failure of my computer to accept UPDATES of Microsoft products (such as Windows). Fearful of identify theft (or worse) I did not cooperate, but said I would ascertain the authenticity of this firm -- CEYLON INDUSTRIES (or similar name). Is this a legitimate subcontractor who is authorized to work with Microsoft customers, like me? I spoke with someone named "Moses" who made this representation (he had an east indian dialect). T.R.

Outlook just showed up. I don't like it. My biggest problem is when I "forward" emails, I get only a short list of frequently used names and not my full list. I type in "all contacts" and it reverts back to frequent contacts. Also, I type nearly a word faster than the letters show up on the screen - this never happened before. Thank you for reducing my frustration - I am not a technical person and am really upset. I called on the phone and was told there was not phone support and I would have to figure this out for myself!

Sorry my video is poor quality, my cam is very huge and I did not take the time to set it up the way it should. I do believe I will demonstrate how well windows 8 recovery DVD creation works, and using that upon bootup using a saved image backup stored on a 1tb usb drive. I'm doing this to provide confidence that users feel confident that windows 8 restore will work for them if a system failure happens in windows 8. I am giving them reliable data to rely on, that this method to restore their system to its operational state with all programs and files intact.

troubleshoot windows vista kb915597 definition 1.143.2336.0 As stated in the above question, this update auto installed on 2/15/2013 at 1:39am and lists as un-removable. I believe this is my offending update as there were several updates that auto installed on 2/14/2013 as well. They may be the culpret as well but I doubt it, however, my belief is that this is the offending update in that my TiVo has transferred information recorded prior to 2/16/2013 but not after. If the offending update were amongst the multiple updated auto installed on 2/14/2013 them information recorded on the TiVo afterwards on 2/15/2013 would not have transferred. I need a solution to this off…
