Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008LPT1 Port deleted from Device Manager
Somehow Windows XP has deleted the LPT1 port fom my Device Manager so now my printer will not print. How can I renew it? Thanks.  Signaturedpower Hi, Control Panel/Add hardware SignatureBest of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com > Somehow Windows XP has deleted the LPT1 port fom my Device Manager so now > my > printer will not print.

Hi Rick, When I turn on my computer I now get a display under "ASUS" of : "P4VP-MX" I don't recall ever having seen this before the problem began. It then opens Windows XP without allowing me to view the BIOS file. In addition, when I try to shut down in the normal manner it does not do so but instead I am obliged to Log Off, Switch to different user and then close. The problem has only arisen since I switched to cable high speed internet. Thanks for your suggestions. Any other ideas? dpower > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > >> > printer will not print.

That's the motherboard model number. Has there been an automatic update of your BIOS since installing the high speed.....could be a reason why you are seeing a new splash screen. > It then opens Windows XP without allowing me to view the BIOS file. Look in the documentation for your unit to see what key(s) to press before Windows starts booting to enter the BIOS setup. It's usually a key like F2 or the Esc key or a combination of keys; some systems BIOS's can only be accessed with a setup disk. > In > addition, when I try to shut down in the normal manner it does not do > so but instead I am obliged to Log Off, Switch to different user and > then close.

Off the top of my head.....could be "Administrator rights" issue, check the "Users Accounts" in "Control Panel". Can't remember offhand if there is also an "Advanced Users Profiles Properties" in XP as there is in Vista......hmmmm, come to think of it, why is an XP question being asked in a Vista hardware newsgroup? <grin> > dpower > >> Hi, >> >> Did you check that the port is enabled in the system BIOS? |
