Can I use my laptop CD drive good install disks of program on another mini laptop (with broken screen)?

I have a Dell Inspiron Mini running on Windows XP, that I dropped and broke a plastic wedge.  The broken plastic cut a wire to the screen, leaving me with a white screen.  I was able to use the fn 1 toggle to turn on a second monitor via a HDMI cable.  However, I decided that the blank white screen bothers my eyes, I went into the display settings and select 'make this my main screen' which means, do my main screen TV.  However, he turned off the TV screen instead of the empty white laptop screen.  The Fn 1 button no longer works.  I tried to do a manual telephone walkthough with Dell system restore.  By restoring the computer to its factory settings, I should allowed to use the Fn 1 button again to turn on my TV via HDMI cable - without success.  Therefore, Dell confirmed that I had a software internal problem and recommended that I post him for repair (no guarantee).  The Dell Inspiron Mini has no CD Rom internal drive, however, I have the original disks supplied with the notebook software program which is five years (or more).  The Dell Inspiron Mini operating system is Windows XP.

Now, I have a laptop HP large format, with CD Rom drive, running on Windows 7.   Can I use my HP CD Rom to install the original records of the original Dell Inspiron mini Dell program?  Thank you.

Thanks for the tips.

You are welcome. :)

  • Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

    I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

    I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

    She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

    Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

    Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  • Can I use my laptop on the screen keyboard to write documents?

    My laptop keyboard is defective.

    Yes. It can be a very slow process if compared to typing on a normal keyboard.

    You can find the keyboard to the screen here:

    Start-> all programs-> Accessories-> accessibility-> on-screen keyboard .

    A better option would be to borrow or buy a cheap external USB keyboard until you get your own laptop fixed keyboard.

    If your XP license is an OEM one (has a COA sticker on the case of the machine) may not be used in any other machine - never.

  • can I use an external hard drive to increase the disk space and memory on xp?

    I am considering an external hard drive of 1 TB to trasmet all files on the computer. There is little hard drive space and memory left. Can I use the external hard drive free space and can it will be installed via USB and use my operating system?

    You can use the external hard drive to transfer your data from your internal hard drive.  Cannot move system files (such as Program Files, Windows and swap files) well.  Looks like your use of the word 'memory' made reference to disk space - it normally refers to which an external drive would not affect RAM.  If you mean disk space, however, you can certainly free SPAC drive this way.

    I hope this helps.  Good luck.

  • Can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I know that I can stream TV recorded to another pc using the options of streaming media player. But I want to know is can I use my laptop as a media extender?

    I want to be able to launch Windows Media Center on the laptop, I it would launch on XBOX for example in the same way. And then use the same way I would use it on XBOX.

    IF not, why? This looks like a pretty good idea to me. Can someone enlighten me?

    Thank you...

    Unfortunately no, you can share your TV recorded around the House to the other PC but a PC can't act as a Media Center Extender, like the XBox.

Tried the convenience store who said there is a button on the front of the laptop that I push to turn on wireless on, tried that, but nothing is. I have an Acer Travelmate 2410, can someone help me?

    Hi Karldawkins,

    What operating system is installed on the computer?

    As the error message clearly indicates that the wireless switch is disabled on the computer. I suggest you consult the manual of the laptop and try to turn on the wireless switch.

    If you still experience the problem, then I suggest you to contact Acer support to enable the wireless switch.

  • Can I use a USB Flash drive?

    Windows XP Professional - SP3 - Version 2002

    Can I use a USB Flash drive to increase memory? My machine has 512 MB of RAM, and I have a 1.80 GHz CPU Celeron (r) processor.
    From what I've researched, because my OS is Windows XP and I have 512 MB of RAM, I cannot use a 4 GB Flash drive.
    I use a Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) and lots of sample packs and I have need of more memory. My machine is maxed out at 512 MB of RAM.
    If I buy a 4 GB Flash drive, can I load my DAW on the Flash drive and optimal storage space or should I buy a hard drive to accomplish my problem of not having enough memory?

    Thanks in advance!

    512 MB you should be fine for Windows XP. OK, the application may run more slowly than on a modern computer - but performance is reasonable.

    Like me, I have a computer with 1 linear array of 512 MB memory and a 128 MB memory chips - making the total up to almost 640MO - but I use Photoshop CS3 on it daily and it works fine for most tasks.

    However, if you want to get some further improvements to your computer for the RAM intensive applications performance, I would recommend increasing the virtual memory.

    More about memory virtual here-

    http://ask-Leo.com/what_is_virtual_memory.html

    To increase the virtual memory-

    Do a right click my computer > click Properties > Advanced tab > settings under 'Performance' button > Advanced tab in the performance Options window > change button under "virtual memory".

    Now select the custom size option.

    The options below, you can see some details like -

    Minimum allowed - XX MB

    Recommended - XXXX MB

    Currently allocated - XXXX MB

    Make sure that you set the value of initial size (MB) near the recommended space. The value of maximum size to a value much greater than currently allocated space. (But always value less than 2048 maximum size - you don't need that much).

    That could give some amount of performance increase - but he won't give you a magical boost of performance.

  • can I use my laptop screen to show images of my video phone in particular?

    I have the DROID razor/m that I use to watch the video of the ESPN app. Via the USB connection, can I use my laptop to see the image better/more?

    No it is not usually possible, including via the USB port.  However all ESPN video app videos are also available on ESPN.com, so you can just go on your laptop for better visibility.
