I reinstalled my HP printer, then ran HP Print and Scan Doctor, and now all of my printers are printing web-pages again. Starting to think the source of problem was the old Primo PDF printer I was trying to use. It 's just not compatible with the current web-pages.

What other system would you suggest ? I liked Vista, but I'm starting to have problems with it I can't fix.

Also , my hard drive is a 698 GB. Seagate ST375052 8AS SCSI Disk Device . And my NVIDIA GeForce 9100 has Virtual Memory 2048 MB. Thanks.

I have a computer with Win Vista 64 bt. installed. Computer is a HP p6130y 64 bit. AMD phenom(tm) 9750 Quad-Core Processor 2.4 GHz. 8.00 GB ram. And NVIDIA Geforce 9100 , adapter ram 256 MB. , for video. Could my system handle Win 10 64 bit operating system?

I was having problems with Windows update not connecting to Microsoft, and being unable to print any web-pages in Firefox or IE. So i did a complete re-install. I got all the updates up to SP2, and the new win update agent. Then they stopped. But that's another problem. Now I discovered that I'm still unable to print any web-pages in any browser, with any printer. I can print anything else, but not web-pages. Same as before I re-installed Win Vista 64bt. In Firefox, I received a " printing error" message box. In IE9 , I can't even select a printer, when the select a printer box appears. I can click on my selected printer all I want, but nothing happens. It just freezes up. Up until a few months ago, I can print web-pages easily. It seems like the web-page printing problem started when the Win up-date problem started. I did install Primo PDF converting before I tried printing the last time.(wish i would have tried printing with another printer before I installed Primo) But thinking there may have been a conflict with Foxit PDF converter, I UN-installed Primo but still no web printing. All of the internet help advice hasn't worked yet. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this problem?

I fixed the problem. Right click, properties, UN-block .exe file

Thanks for your reply. I found the correct file, downloaded it, but when I click on the file it won't start installing,it just sits there.

I need to up-date my post , I have a active X flash player installed On IE. it's the Firefox version that won't install. Thanks !

I'm running Win Vista x64 SP2 . The control panel's Win update stopped working, so a few days ago I restored Vista to "factory condition" ans all available updates were downloaded and installed. But when I tried to re-install Adobe Flash Player, I found the Adobe install file would not start. Strange because I did have Flash player for Firefox and IE on my computer, before re-installing Vista. Then I saw this from Microsoft ..........................."You cannot run an application that is signed with a SHA-256 certificate on a computer that is running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2008 SP2" . The answer was to add this update "Windows6.0-KB2763674-x64" . But so far the stand-alone installer has been running for hours, and it hasn't even found the update yet, and it doesn't seem like it's going to. So what now? I hope that the "stand-alone installer" doesn't "hose up" the Control panel's up-date ability! When, about 8 yrs. ago I was working on a install disc for XP, I could down load complete update files, click on them and they would install. No "stand-alone installer" needed. Can you still get complete, ready to install updates like that? Feedback will be appreciated.

Whenever I attempt to watch a web-page video, with flash player , on Firefox, the adobe box pops up asking me to allow or deny the content provider to store files on my computer. Then mouse pointer immeaditly "crashes", the pointer starts to rapidly flicker. Then the buttons on the adobe pop-up become un responsive. I can't select either option. And I can't navigate to another web-page, I can only escape by shutting down FireFox. I have a Win Vista SP2 64 bit computer, and the latest version of FireFox. And the latest Adobe versions. I also have IE9 which I also update. But since Adobe changed the way it updates I wonder if the 2 Flash Player versions are interfering with each other, because i never had any problems with the old 3rd party downloads. Any ideas what the problem is ?

I have the 64 bit Win Vista SP2 computer. When I'm in IE9, and I click on a link, a web-page in Firefox, which is my default browser, opens up. This is making it almost impossible to update and verify,the different versions of Adobe Flash Player. When I click on run and install it goes to FireFox which dosen't use active x. And making other problems when I want to stay in IE while browsing. This never happened in my old Win XP Pro Sp3 computer. But I like Vista and want it to work for me. Any suggestions ? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply

I have a older Dell Win XP Pro SP3 computer which I connected a external Seagate Free Agent Desktop drive to hold audio/video files. Which has worked well for a number of years. Recently a Friend gave me a HP computer with Win Vista SP2 installed. This computer has a single internal SATA hard drive. I would like to hook up, by USB Port, the external seagate free agent drive to my newer Vista computer, and transfer some audio/video files to the SATA hard drive. But I'm concerned about possible hard ware "clashes" between the 2-computers. So I would like some feedback on this issue. Would there be any risk of a computer crash, or loss of data ? Feedback will be appreciated.
