The drivers, made for older windows versions, won't work on a Windows 7 or up machine. Not even in compatibility mode. Microsoft needed to make Windows more secure, so only allows drivers in there modern operating systems when they have a Microsoft certificate. For a certificate the manufactures must use Microsoft protocols, ask Microsoft for certification, and pay for the tests Microsoft does, to check the software is working correct. So no manufacturer will ask for certification of drivers for hardware they no longer sell.
Long story, but unless you can write your driver yourself, or you can find an universal camera driver (not sure something like that exists) you won't be able to use the camera. Nobody does tell you, after you update your OS you also have to buy new hardware to.
How do i install internet explorer 7 on to my pc ?
It may be because you have a newer version of Internet Explorer already installed. Internet Explorer comes pre-installed on every Windows PC, and is usually updated regularly as part of the Windows update. I believe the current version is IE 11.
When i put music on my pen drive it plays on my pc but not on my car stereo why ?
Chances are the music files are not in a format that your car stereo recognizes. Check the booklet that came with the stereo and look for acceptable file formats. (Something that says .mp3 or . something.). If it still doesn't work, the pen drive itself may need to be formatted for the car stereo to be able to recognize it. (Maybe FAT32 instead of NTSF). The information should be either in the book or on the manufacturers webiste.
Good luck!
When I unistalled internet explorer 8 by accident but how do i reinstall internet explorer ?
Oops! Well, it may not be such a bad problem. This is what Microsoft has to say about it:
Reinstall Internet Explorer in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8
Because Internet Explorer is now a Windows feature in Windows 8.1 and Windows 8, you can't uninstall it. However, you can turn it off. To do this, follow the steps in the "Turn off Internet Explorer" section in
Install or uninstall Internet Explorer
(http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/internet-explorer/install-ie)
.
After you turn off Internet Explorer and then restart your computer, Internet Explorer will be removed from your computer.
You can also turn the Internet Explorer Windows feature back on to reinstall it on your computer.
Porque não consigo mudar minha resolução de tela?
Translation: Why can't I change my screen resolution? (English).
You video adaptor limits the resolution you can choose. If you right click on the desktop you can pick the graphic settings you want and it will give you 15 seconds to see what it looks like, before it restores to what it is already.
Why fan operates in sleep mode Dell OptiPlex 780?
Possibly it is overheating, which would depend on how often it runs, and how fast. During startup, it is normal for a fan to run at high speed, but if it's on constantly in sleep mode, I would look towards an overheating problem. Open it up, check for, and clean any dust around the heatsink / fan, and power supply fan. Also make sure that outside the PC there is plenty of space to allow airflow.
E2111 SBE LOG DISABLE -DIMM 3
Hi
Two most likely causes for this error are
First: the memory module, DIMM3 has worked its way loose and needs to be reseated firmly in its slot with both catches firmly engaged.
Second: The memory module DIMM 3 has become faulty and needs to replaced.
If reseating the DIMM doesn't work try swapping slots with a module of the same size in a different slot and see if the fault follows the module or goes away. If the fault follows the module, eg to DIMM 1, then it is most likely that the module is faulty.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers

My Dell 210L suddenly shuts down and doesn't boot.
It sounds to me like you lost the computer power supply. They cam be purchased at a Best Buy or on Ebay. Make sure you get one with the corredt connections. Draw a diagram of where everything plugs into prior to disconnecting it, and take it along with you. Hope this helps.

PXE == Pre Execution Environment
Your computer can "boot" from various devices:
* floppy-disk
* CD-ROM
* USB memory stick
* DVD drive
* hard-drive
* over the network
If you don't have a "network boot server" somewhere on your network, you will get that "boot failed" message.
Enter BIOS SETUP mode, and disable "PXE boot over network", and make sure that the hard-drive and/or the CD/DVD drives are listed as candidates to be eligible boot-devices.
Why does monitor not turn on with computer
I know this sounds stupid but make sure the monitor is plugged in and turned on. If it is then either your monitor is bad, or your graphics card is bad, if you have access to a different monitor hook it up, if it works you know it\'s not your graphics card, if it doesn\'t then it\'s probably the graphics card
Orange light power for dell 380
An Amber blinking power button indicates a low voltage problem. This can be caused by a defective power supply or a defective motherboard.
Remove any PCI cards like modem, video card, sound card, etc... Remove the memory modules and disconnect cables to CD/DVD drives. Look at the USB ports to see if any are damaged.
DEll Latitude D520 is not starting at all.
Remove the main battery and try again, no change! remove the ram memory one at a time, testing as you go making sure there is one ram stick in the slot at all times. If none of these work, the motherboard is the likely problem and you will need a technician to access.
Computer turns on but monitor shows only the Dell logo
Most of the Dell desktops have a set of 4 lights mainly in the back of the computer where the ports are (usb). In this model i am not sure where they are, but these lights indicate a problem with e.g memory, hard disk, graphics controller, etc. Also see if the lights in front of the computer show some activity.
According to your experience you can remove the cover to get inside and remove the memory first and turn the pc on. if you don't see anything at all or hear some beeps you might need to replace the memory. This pc should be taken to a technician.
