[SOLVED] scanner/keyboard - compatible/not compatible with XP?

I just got a new Dell Inspiron... will this keyspan keyboard scanner work for me?
also, if you have any experience with this scanner please let me know. i would appreciate the insight.
 

I plan to buy a new Dell PC soon and would like to keep my scanner, an Epson Perfection 1200 PHOTO.

I did a Windows XP-compatible hardware search and noticed that several of the Epson 1200 series scanners (e.g., 1240 and 1260) were shown. However, I didn't see my 1200 listed. Does this mean that my scanner is not compatible with XP?

(I did see my monitor, a SONY HMD-A200, listed, so I assume that it is XP-compatible.)

I would greatly appreciate hearing from someone who can verify these compatibility issues for me.

Thank you,
Bill
 

Can anyone recommend a cheap flatbed scanner?
One that works in Windows 7 64 bit.
My ole Visioneer 8700 is a paper weight now that I've got Windows 7.

The set of online system tools, featuring a virus scan and Microsft's own registry cleaner, now works for Windows 7 too!

Hi Changed from xp to win7 Upgraded. Got a Microsoft multimedia keyboard v1.0A tried to load IntelliType Pro 2.2 software disc but says non compatible.
Even tried downloading new versions inc: Vista but same result. Good grief this is a Microsoft own product and Microsoft own keyboard. How the devil can it be non compatible?????????????

My U510 keyboard has a broken backlight cable, and I have seen pictures of the keyboard for the Z510 model... they look identical. Does anyone know if they are, and if the Z510 keyboard will work in a U510 laptop? I can get a significantly better price on the Z510 keyboard, so I hope someone here knows. Thanks!

Can I replace the unlit keyboard in this model with a lit one?

Which wireless mice can I use with the k4000 keyboard that can be used with the same Bluetooth dongle? I have limited USB ports so ideally want to avoid multiple dongles.

I've decided to try my hand at building my own PC. I intend it to be a medium - high end gaming computer. I've got everything figured out (at least I hope) I'm just wanting a second opinion about my choice of motherboard and CPU. I'm pretty sure they are compatible, at least in theory, I was just wondering if anyone had any first hand experience with them, or any advice for me. Hey, if you feel like it, recommend something bigger and better. I have a pretty good budget for this (within reason of course, nothing too outrageous).

CPU : AMD Phenom X4 9950 Quad Core Processor 2.60GHz, 4MB Cache, 2000MHz (4000 MT/s) FSB, Agena, Retail, Socket AM2+, with Fan (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4016668&CatId=3496)

Motherboard : FX nForce 750a SLI Motherboard - NVIDIA 750a SLI, Socket AM2/AM2+, ATX, Audio, Video, HDMI, DVI, PCI Express 2.0, Gigabit LAN. S/PDIF, USB 2.0, eSATA, RAID (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3930721&CatId=13)

One big question I have, however, is whether a GeForce 8800GT graphics card with its super long design would fit correctly or at all in that motherboard. The 2nd PCI-E slot has to be the first one used, so I couldn't put it in the top slot. I think it would fit, but not quite sure.

Anyways, thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to have a read through this, and an extra thanks to anyone with any advice or comments.

How do I know what ram is compatible for my system? I ran Belarc adviser & without opening up my tower I know I have an empty slot. I have a spare 512MB stick that was taken from my other computer & if it is compatible I'd like to add it to the system that is lacking ram. The stick that I have is a PC3200 DDR 400MHz 512MB. The info that I have from Belarc is Slot 'J6G1' has 256 MB Slot 'J6G2' is Empty, whether that is helpful or not. Hope someone can help.
 

Hello,

I am wondering whether this CPU: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-Athlon-64...m&pt=UK_Motherboards_CPUs&hash=item1c12632912

is compatible with my PC. Here are my motherboard specifications: http://www.foxconnchannel.com/product/motherboards/detail_spec.aspx?ID=en-us0000306#

I am worried because it says on the CPU details "Compatible RAM --------> DDR2 SDRAM" I added new RAM recently and it is DDR2, I don't remember anything about SDRAM; is it still okay?

Sorry for my newbiness, if someone could give me a helpful answer it would be much appreciated.

will 2 different brands of SDRAM be compatible with each other
i.e.
256 mb from crucial +
256 mb from kingston...?

yes, each selection of ram would have the same compatability (PC 133, 168 pin DIMM to be exact)

i dont see why not, i am just curious before I buy

thanks
 

I have an HP, P2, 333MHz, 190 RAM and Win98Se.....

I bought a new Mad Dog CD-RW and I'm getting a "not compatible" message after I installed it. I installed it as the slave to the CD, then tried it as master and both times the message specied "slave and master"....

I have the minimum speed and RAM.
The package says the hardware is compatible with my system EXCEPT it lists almost every version of Windows operating systems except specifically 98se......and 3.1.........it lists 95, 98, Me, XP, 2000...

Could it be possible that it's compatible with all these OP systems, just not 98se?.....that's what the store is trying to tell me and I have a hard time believing that.............or is there something I'm missing?

Right before I tried to install the Mad Dog, I upgraded from 98 to 98Se.......'sighs'

Any comments, feedback or help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 

Is a 400MHZ DDR Ram compatible with a 266 mhz DDR Ram ?

I suspect my motherboard is fried after installing a 400mhz DDR ram on my ECS L7VMM3 Motherboard.

Since my computer came with a 256mb 266mhz DDR ram, I wanted to add some more ram and bought a 400MHZ DDR Ram. ( I was told at the store that these two ram chips are compatible).
After installing it, I just heard the system powering up but with a 'something burning smell' and nothing came on Monitor.
After removing my new Ram and putting back my older ram, still nothing came On screen.

Any ideas here as to what has happened? is my motherboard gone?

Thanking you in advance for advice.
 

Hey, all. I'm starting to get machines on my bench - finally - that have one version of Vista or another installed. When I "clean-up" a machine, I use CCleaner, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot S&D and AVG free. I set these up so they don't all load at startup but have to be lauched by the user.

Are these programs compatible with Vista? Or are there other apps that are - free first of all - and better to use with Vista? Thanks!

Hi,

I've purchased an old m/board for a test and play machine. The m/board is a MSI MS-6156BX v2.1 with the Blue "C" sticker (PII and i think also PIII compatible board). I was looking at getting a PIII 800 (133Mhz Bus) or a PIII 1Ghz (133Mhz Bus)for it. From the information i've read from the MSI site for this board, it is supposed to support up to PIII 1Ghz.

However, what i am confused on is that the manufacturers state that this board supports a 66/100Mhz bus. So the question in mind is will the PIII 800Mhz/1Ghz with the 133Mhz Bus work with this board?

According to the cpu support list for this board, it uses 133FSB x 6 to get 800Mhz while it uses a 100FSB x 10 to get the 1Ghz. So because both the 800Mhz and 1Ghz use 133 Buses, will they still be compatible?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

Regards
Steve
 

I have a Sony Vaio PCVRZ36G with an Asus P4SD-VX. Is there an upgadeable mother board I can go to that will support all my current hardware? (socket 478 3Ghz P4 Northwood, 4G pc3200 Ram low dens./4x1g sticks, all bios/chipset up to date and running XP pro with all updates).

Also, I stupidly bought (eBay/high shipping) a 1G nVidia 8600GT Video card requiring a longer PCI slot which my Asus does not have. Any hope for this dilema? Perhaps a MB that can solve all this?

I purchased this unit used 2yrs ago with damage to the mouse/kybd inputs. Switched these to USB and have never ever had a problem. I consider my self an "Advanced User" not quite tech level in knowledge. I've dug into just about everything in the last 12yrs short of MBs. Should be a screw out/screw in process I assume (?)

Thanks for any and all help in advance!!
 

I'm buying a new motherboard and power supply. I'm sure my other parts are compatible. I'm very clueless of powersupply. I'm not sure if i should get ATX12V or ATX (There's also ATX12/EPS12V). I would like to be informed of these terms.

But to get the point. Does ASUS P5N-D work well with the Antec True Powe Trio 550W.

Thanks.
 

My grandson who is in the military bought a new 23 inch computer monitor and then was deployed so he gave the monitor to my wife. When I connected it to her computer with WXP, the display was too large for the screen. When on the Internet you cannot see the minimizing icon or the X to close the program. In addition, the fonts were difficult to read and some window frames that contained text were so faint you could not read the text. I believe the new monitor resolution was 1080X1920.
I have bought new larger size computer monitors in the past and had no difficulty. I reduced the recommended resolution which brought the above referenced icons into view but the fonts were still difficult to read.

My question: Is there some way you have to determine if your computer can support a monitor before you make the purchase?
 

Could anyone point me to a cheap, reliable Hard Drive of approximately 10 GB that would work with Windows 98SE? A friend and I are looking to put together my old Windows 98 PC.
