• Bought a new computer with windows 7. "psc 2210 all-in-one ' will not work with it....

  I have a psc 2210 all-in-one printer that I love. I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and I can't make it work. The HP site said that I don't have to download the drivers because windows 7 has already installed, but the main thing is that I can't make it work. Anyone, please help. My printer works perfectly and I can't afford to buy another. (I have a 64 bit)

  HP should contribute to this situation. I'm a loyal customer of Hp, but it's ridiculous that they do not create a driver to work with their printers.  All computers are coming with Windows 7.  HP please find a solution!

  I could get my HP PSC 2210 all-in-one to print!  I don't know exactly, because I've tried everything I could think of.  My son is a computer on which it has upgraded to windows 7 (64-bit) several months ago - he was able to successfully print on my printer immediately.   I just did an install complete (I bought the full version, not upgrade) to windows 7 (64 bit) - a couple of days and I'm finally to the point where I'm trying to connect printers.  Here is what I tried... again, I tried several things, although I've been in that general area...

  connect the printer to the computer

  go to the CONTROL PANEL--> Device Manager

  Click the arrow to the left of the IMAGING DEVICES (to be developed)

  RT click on printer PSC 2200 (should be listed under imaging devices)

  Select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall

  Select / tick "remove the driver for the device.

  the printer will disappear from the Device Manager (and peripheral Imaging also if it was the only selection)

  Unplug the printer to computer

  re - connect the printer to the computer

  Device Manager automatically updated (takes a few minutes, the screen refresh let until the yolk! disappears).

  Go to the control panel--> devices and printers

  Select printer PSC 2200, select Customize your printer, then the printed test page

  I hope that you will get a valid test page.  If this is not the case, another option I tried was:

  Through the above scenario.  When you get to the step "select PROPERTIES--> DRIVER, then uninstall" Select UNINSTALL directly from this menu (be sure to select/check "remove software pilot")

  Continue with the remaining steps above.

  I also tried 'Update Driver' of one of the previous screens above... I would like to know if you have a bit of luck!   I'm sorry that's not accurate.  Yet once, I tried everything I could think of, and something finally worked!  (I don't think I tried to 'Turn off the pilot')   Good luck! .........

• My office wouldn't boot and I received a S.M.A.R.T. message that told me that the hard drive was bad. I changed the hard drive, but it is always the same. It is running windows zp.

  My desktop computer running windows xp. It begins to start but stops and keeps trying to start. It does not start in safe mode or any other mode. I have mfoundm a message that says S.M.A.R.T. and told me that my hard drive was bad. I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

  I think that the answer to the replacement hard drive is in your question.

  I replaced the drive hard drive with another drive that has been loaded with xp but it stil is.

  You can not take a hard drive that was in another computer when the Windows installation, place it in another computer and boot from it. You will get a boot loop. It will start to load Windows then suddenly, re - start. This will be repeated again and again. You must install Windows on the disk hard while it is in the computer that you intend to use it with.

• I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

  I bought a new computer, installed LR5 and import photos from a remote hard drive. Photos is finer, but all my Collections disappeared.  Is there a way to retrieve my Collections?

  The Collections are stored in the LR catalog. If you had previously copied to your catalog on the other computer to the new all your collections would have been there.

  Now that you have the images on the new computer, 'IF', they were placed in the same folder structure (IE even the folder names and locations) then copy through the original catalogue "should" include your collections. If they are in the names of different folder or on a different drive letter or name of the player, then you might be able to use the feature to locate Images to find them.

  You have a hard drive partition to do - but you would need to contact/see the FAQ from the hardware manufacturer (HP, Dell, Gateway, Lenovo, etc) to see if and how.

  Otherwise - you might have to order (pay for possibly) the factory restore/recovery of the value of the manufacturer.

• the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop. How to create a windows cd? KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop.  How to create a windows cd?  KeyCode on laptop wallpaper

  You n "t do it this way.

  You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive.  For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata).  Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).

  If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):

  Acronis True Image Home 11
  EASEUS ToDo Backup
  Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
  Casper
  Norton Ghost

  The process is simple:

  1. Install the software on your laptop for cloning
  2. RTFM (do not skip this step)
  3. Install the new drive in the external case
  4. Connect new player to the computer
  5. Clone original disc on new drive
  6. Stop
  7. Unplug the external computer case
  8. Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
  9. Reboot and enjoy your new drive.

  When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

• XPS L501X failed HARD drive - need copy of Win 7 for new installation

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the laptop for my nephew who is out of warranty.  I replaced the HARD drive.  The original one would not load the OS and was identified by an on-board diagnostics as the defective HARD drive.  I tried to get a copy of Win 7, but because it's out of warranty assistance automated on the Dell Web site I cannot download a Windows 7 image.  All useful suggestions please.

  Hey Rishi

  Before you receive your answer, I came across an answer to someone who has encountered a similar problem.  The advice they received were trying to restore the default settings in the BIOS.  I did and it allowed me to access the HARD disk again.  At the time where I got the recovery for my own laptop (a Dell Inspiron) disc, in DVD of XPS reader.  This enabled me to reload Windows 7 on the laptop XPS, probably only because the HARD drive is no longer was considered defective by the BIOS and the relevant files / drivers to access.

  As a precaution, I used the installation backup Dell to save different data files before migrating to the HARD drive in the set of an SSD, I was installing.  Unfortunately, the backup did not work as I hope and proved to be useless to retrieve the data as different files in the backup lacked.  I assume that this is because the HARD drive is faulty (even though I have not checked since I was the system working again, after spending more time than expected as the whole.)  I used the information provided to prepare a Win7 disc should be necessary in the future, thank you.
