Windows 7 Printer install error 0x0000001c
I just finished a windows 7 printer installation and at first got an error 0x0000001c. I wasn't able to find any good information. I did find an error wiki site, but after reviewing it, it appears to only be a gimmick to sell an error checker.In any case, I had downloaded the driver for another windows 7 PC and had no problems installing it. My printer is a networked Sharp copier/printer MX-M503N. The problem I found was that I was installing a 64bit driver on a 32bit PC. Once I attempted this...

I just received a laptop that had a virus on it. At first it appeared to be the standard rogue virus that displayed a message Windows Antivirus 2012 has found 34 problems on your PC.

I could also tell a process was continually spawning new processes. When I looked in the taskmanager, I found several ILO.exe programs running and new ones spawning. I couldn't...

hp Laser Jet 3380 All-in-one (AIO) printer
We installed this printer on a PC that had 3 other HP printers. One was an HP AIO that was installed over the network and one was a Inkjet that had been physically removed from the computer a long time ago, but the software drivers were still there. And there was an HP 6000 printer that we were replacing. During the installation of the HP 3380 AIO, we got an error 97 on the printer itself. There isn't any help for that error message. It seems to be general error message for anything HP doesn't...

Right after the August update for Peachtree Complete 2009, the first attempt to run the Payroll tax forms for city taxes, an error message popped up indicating that a Microsoft Visual C++ SP1 runtime files needed to be upgraded.

Outlook, IMAP and Gmail google
I had a problem today where Outlook 2007 kept giving an access error for a gmail account on both the SMTP and IMAP connections. The error message always popped up requesting the password be entered again and a message indicating that the user should login to their gmail web interface. Calling the company that setup the account didn't do any good. They could see no problems and said they didn't change anything. We didn't get a chance to call Google about the issue.The user was able to login to...
