    If it’s a few years older than Windows 7 launch year (2009) you will probably be out of luck. Hardware manufacturer’s don’t like spending money on new drivers for old hardware, they would rather you bought new.

    Check the manufacturer’s website. If they don’t have a Windows 7 drivers for it you can stop looking because you won’t find it anywhere else.

    In case you’re out of luck, VueScan software may allow your scanner to function on Windows 7. Download the trial here: http://www.hamrick.com/
    If it works you can then decide whether to pay for a registration code or buy a new scanner.

  2. Stated this is a Programming Forum question as there is no DOS in Windows XP, if serialterm.exe reads its input from stdin then it should accept data redirected from a text file holding the simulated user's input, e.g.serialterm.exe com1 9600 ascii empty no C:\test1.txt < input.txt or as a betterRead more

    Stated this is a Programming Forum question as there is no DOS in Windows XP, if serialterm.exe reads its input from stdin then it should accept data redirected from a text file holding the simulated user’s input, e.g.

    serialterm.exe com1 9600 ascii empty no C:\test1.txt < input.txt
    

    or as a better alternative

    echo.User's Text | serialterm.exe com1 9600 ascii empty no C:\test1.txt
    

    Anyway a program is required to READ data from a serial port while to send text to a serial device batch commands suffice.

    What you need is not fully clear however.

    So that means no drivers for Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7.
    See this: http://support.visioneer.com/produc…

    That’s identical to the Radio Shack one, just different badging.

    That webcam model is too old I’m afraid so you’ll have to buy a new one for Windows XP or later.

    Start button type regedit in run box. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE click on + to expand. Expand “SOFTWARE” Look for both JavaSoft & JreMetrics if they are both still there after an attempt to uninstall java then delete both keys. Try once again to reinstall java. Might be something that got missed by the cleanup or uninstaller tools that others mentioned.

  7. Turn off your laptop.Turn it on and press Alt + F10 for Factory Recovery.The Aspire E15 ships with Windows 8 pre-installed as far as I can gather so I don't know why yours has Linux on it.

    Then you will have to check if your PC has the old type of round keyboard port known as PS/2 — usually two of them side by side on the back panel, near the top — green port for mouse, purple port for keyboard.

    If your PC does have PS/2 ports, then buy a PS/2 keyboard from Amazon for example.

    Don’t be duped in to using a USB-PS/2 adapter plug ‘cos they rarely work on keyboards.

    You need a native PS/2 keyboard (ie no adapter required).

    Uploading or downloading? Depending on your connection, either would be possible, but generally upload speeds are somewhat slower than download speeds. If you have cable broadband or better, then downloading hundreds of gigabytes is certainly possible…even in a matter of a few days or even hours with some very-high-speed providers. If you don’t think you’re downloading/uploading that much, you may want to verify you either don’t have something in the background (malware) or even possibly someone else tapping-in on your connection…

    There is nothing available today for running Windows 3.11 exclusively. However, any of today’s computers can run it virtually. Some people have it installed on their phones (check youtube) running virtually! There are several other ways. I myself simply use DOSBOX to run it with a special video driver for at least 8 bit (256) color – though they can go beyond that.

    Other choices:

    You can paritition a DOS sized drive (2048MB – no higher) and put it there if you want.

    You can seek out virtual software for doing the job. There are several software packages available.

    An old PC as mentioned above. Getting harder to find, but they are out there.
