The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Printer (driver) install fails due to Access Denied

Asked by yet_another_jash in Windows XP Operating System, Printers

Tags: , , , ,

I've been using the excellent PDFCreator for more than 2 years. Today it failed with an empty message box (just an OK button). I removed the software and attempted to install the latest version. It appears to install fine until it gets to the point of adding the printer to the OS - here it fails with an "Access Denied" error message.

I then downloaded Primo32 and that did the same - almost all the install completed and then "Access Denied" at the 'add printer to XP' stage.

Finally, I tried adding any old printer using the Add Printer Wizard. I made out that it was connected to LPT1 and added the first printer in the list. "Unable to Add Printer. Access Denied".

This is a single user machine and I am in the Administrators Group.

I'm guessing this is a permissions issue. I have carried out some bizarre command line security reset procedure (secedit?) but to no avail. I have downloaded an HP Access Denied fix, but that didn't work.

I don't have much more hair to lose, but I'm pulling it out fast while I try to avoid a whole OS reinstall!Start Free Trial
