will i have to go digging in the registry? I'd llike the standard windows fax and scan program when i click the hardware button on my scanner not photoshop, that feels like overkill for regular documents.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an All-In-One Brother MFC-J430W (MFC-J430W | Multi-Function Centers | Colour Inkjet - Brother Canada). It is capable of scanning up to 1200 DPI. I loathe all the crappy software that comes with these things, so I only ever use the windows drivers, or I'll install minimal drivers if I have to.
I've used the windows default drivers with this one - it shows up in the device manager as a "WSD Scan Device". I think I had to install a brother driver to get the printer working though (the scanner worked with the default windows drivers).
When I use Windows Fax and Scan or VueScan, the max resolution I can set the scan to is 300 DPI. Am I going to have to install the brother scan driver to scan at full resolution, or is there a way to tell the WSD driver that this thing can scan at up to 1200 DPI? I've tried install just the brother scanner drivers from the CD, but I can't find a proper .inf file (i've tried them all). I don't have to install their whole crappy "suite" just to get the resolution issue fixed!

how can I change this?
I believe the location is causing crashes, since I blew up lots of Library registry values (in an attempt to remove them from the OS), and I think it defaults to the library page.
eg, 2shared - file upload and sharing [edit: stupid editor auto href'd the text... bah]
crashes IE and Firefox (not Chrome for some reason... possibly because it uses its own code?) when I click the browse button (same for any "browse" button that spawns a native find-your-file thing).
It may be something else, but anyway...
edit: If I disable "Expand to Current Folder" in Win Explorer, the crash does not occur. So perhaps it is trying to expand to a folder that is broken?
I want to keep "Expand to Current Folder" on, though, as I like the feature.

I need something like this because I Dameware into my other computer a lot and would like to be able to get it to boot to another OS than default, remotely.
I guess I could use EasyBCD to change the default OS when I want to reboot but hoping to do this without editing bcd.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am going to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium on my PC and was about to download the latest ISO-file from Digital River when I found that there seems to be TWO different versions.One is called: Windows 7 Professional SP1-U ISO and the 64-bit Swedish filename is: X17-59273.iso.However there is also a Windows 7 Professional N SP1-U ISO (Note: N editions come without media components) with the Swedish file name: X17-59424.iso.So what does this "N" after "Professional" mean? That is, what does it mean that the edition comes "without media components"??As I am going to download the ISO-file and then boot from an USB-stick, which one should I choose? And I guess that, even if the ISO file is labeled as a Windows 7 Professional, I will be able to choose Windows 7 home Premium 64-bit during the installation process, right?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI asked their support the following: I want to take my Windows 7 Professional system and all installed applications and suites (Office 2010 H&S and CorelDRAW X5 included) � all legit, registered, activated, updated, etc. � and copy them so I can upgrade from a 5400 RPM hard disk to a new 7200 RPM hard disk in the same system. Can this program do all that, saving me the hassle of reinstalling, activating, registering, etc. the OS and applications and suites?Their answer: Yes, that's exactely (sic) what the software is for and what its same says (sic). You can copy your entire drive with your OS, programs and personal data.But today I went to their site again and found they have another app called Paragon Migrate OS to SSD 2.0, of which they say: Ready to upgrade to a new Solid State Drive (SSD)? Paragons Migrate OS to SSD is just what you need. Our handy intuitive wizard performs fast and safe Windows migrations to new storage devices (HDD or SSD) and even downsizes to smaller capacity drives. You can transfer a live system with no impact to your work, and have your partitions automatically aligned in the process if needed. Note that they say "migrations to new storage devices (HDD or SSD)".
My questions are:
- Does anyone here have experience with one of these apps or both?
- Considering my needs, is it OK if I purchase the less costly Migrate OS to SSD (but use it to copy to a new HD)?

So my new computer game with a VCO GEFORCE 9800GT 512MB PCIE
The way that computers work in my house, since I work from home and need my computer to work on, whenever it comes time for either my boyfriend or I to get a new computer, I always get the new one and he gets whatever machine I had, which is always better than whatever he currently has. – As such I was going to take this VCO GEFORCE 9800GT 512MB PCIE out of my new computer and put it in his to upgrade the video card in that machine. But when looking at new video cards I have a few questions.
Would I be better off keeping the VCO GEFORCE 9800GT 512MB PCIE in my machine and getting another one to run on another PCIE slot? The games I mainly play are Guild Wars, Second Life and the Sims3, though I do know that Second Life doesn’t support SLi and that’s what I play the most, so I assume running two cards would be useless there. Also I have never heard of VCO before, is that a common brand?
I’m looking for something in the $130-$170 range and was thinking about one of these cards.

I've read some threads about people installing windows 7 onto a new SSD, but no one seems to be running into the exact same problem as me.
My situation: I've got windows xp running right now on my old HDD. Been using it for years. I got a new SSD for christmas and a copy of windows 7. I've already put World of Warcraft on my SSD and have the SSD set as the D drive in dynamic configuration (i'm not exactly sure what that means).
I put in the windows 7 installation disk, and go through the first few screens. Once it gets to the screen where I choose "where" to install windows 7, the only HD it lets me choose is the old HDD with windows xp on it. The SSD shows up, but I can't choose it!
Is it because I've already used it a bit and installed some programs on it?
If I just take out my old HDD for a bit, will it let me install windows 7 onto the SSD because it's the only possible choice?
Looks like clean installing windows 7 on the drive you want with the upgrade disk is possible but during a clean installation is there a choice to install the 32bit or 64bit version.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble on a couple of PCs, in that the playback on most players (VLC, Media Player Classic, WMC) is jittery in some cases and fails in others.The jitter occurs when I go from a 108050p source to any sized output but at 25fps (i or p) output. The difference between a smooth play and a jittery play is that if you freeze, the smooth play is blurred, twice as much as it was at 50p, as if some sort of interpolation was being done, while the jittery play when frozen presents a still screen with several distinct ghosts of any moving bit. This is what leads to the flickery appearance.I was told that this was an interlace problem, but I thought interlacing caused horizontal lines on the screen, not ghosting.
I have edited / rendered video in various programmes. I have used AVS4U, Vegas, Adobe Elements and several others. The results are the same.I have tried many formats and codecs, as well as trying interlaced, Upper and Lower FF, as well as Progressive.However, at present, WMPlayer is playing stuff nice and smoothly for me, while none of the others are. All are jittery.In addition to this, WMC refuses to display vob files at all. IT just shows a blank screen, with sound, but only the progress bar at the bottom, ticking off the seconds, with no actual video at all.WMPlayer seems to be the one player that does not allow manipulation of codecs, and it just seems to be working....now.how do I choose what codecs are used by a player to play a file, or how does it choose?

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy issue is that i would like to be able to have media center audio play only through my tv and not through my pc main speaker system, tv is hooked through hdmi output on graphics card, speaker system through 5.1 output on motherboard. I have tried the audiorenderupdater extender but all that does is set default audio out for entire system, so when itunes is used or game is played on computer audio goes through tv. I would like all system noises, media player, and game audio to run through pc speakers and simultaneously all media center audio (recorded/live tv) to go through tv audio, so i can watch sports center while playing mass effect and have audio from sportscenter on tv audio from mass effect on pc speakers.
Also is there a way to separate media player's actions from media center's. For example if you are laying music in media player and then open media center and play a tv show, music playback stops, not a big deal just like media player better than itunes and would like to be able to watch tv in media center while playing music in media player rather than itunes

It still pops up the next time you start outlook. After searching the web for a fix I found one promising work around.
