• Reference Dell with windows XP: download the drivers to memeory sticks

  Hi, is it possible and down load a driver for HP1510 for windows XP to a memory stick and use it on a DELL laptop that is not connected to the Internet and will never be.  DELL cannot read the disc for instalation for Windows 10.

  Thanks, DiyDavid...

  Yes - drivers from the HP support site are spread generally automatic files to archive with the type of .exe file. Just copy the file .exe on a USB key, that insert into the HP and copy the .exe on a local drive.  Then, run the file by clicking right on it and choosing run as administrator.

• Connecting Samsung Blu - Ray player for DELL with Windows Vista computer

  My new Samsung BD-P3600 Blu - Ray player does not recognize my name/password user to allow me to share office files in my shared Documents.

  If anyone has had this problem, how you didn't solved the problem?  Samsung was sent to DELL, DELL has no answers.

  Thank you

  Hi CWG13,

  Thank you for writing to Microsoft answers Community Forums.

  This can happen if there is a problem with some settings or folder permissions in the Blu - Ray player that could do this. It could also be the security program blocking the part.

  A few things you can try creates a separate on the desktop folder, rather than to use the documents shared and then try to access it from the drive.

  You can also try to disable your firewall program and security and then try to access to the shared folder.

  Try to disable the user account control and check.

  You may also be able to solve the problem by taking possession of the record.

  To take ownership of a folder

  1 right click on the folder you want to take control and then click Properties.

  2. click on the Security tab, click Advanced, and then click the owner tab.

  3. click on modify.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  4. click on the name of the person you want to give to the property.

  5. If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders in this folder, select the void containers and objects check box Replace owner.

  6. click on OK.

  Let us know if this doesn't work or if you need further assistance.

  A manufacturer of recovery disc is designed for a particular brand and computer model; they are not interchangeable.

  Here is the link to order the Acer recovery disks:

  http://us-store.Acer.com/RCD/

  And if the Acer never included a drive to purchase, you should have a recovery Partition on your hard disk to reinstall Vista to how it was when new.

  With an Acer, you press Alt + F10 at startup to start the process of recovery back to new condition.

  Can someone tell me the solution?

  > The problem is that if I use multitask or open a window or whatever it is the laptop is hanging (freeze).
  Maybe some of your applications cause this problem

  I think you should check what software could cause what I mean it of not impossible that a 3rd party applications that runs in the background would be the cause of your troubles

  Of course, it could also be related to a hardware malfunction. It looks a bit like a RAM problem, but just a personal suggestion.
