yes of course, it is an MFC 495 CW, I am downloading the file you gave me now and thank you so much for your help

I just tried to install the drivers and they would not install saying I had a later version of Winnamp on my computer already.

2. Winnamp - sorry is that the Dell driver I sent you

3. I think we have covered this - have we not

4.
You mentioned earlier you were unsure of which driver to install
I would try the ones here for the 7 64 bit obviously - but from what I see it depends very much on how the printer is connected

I have asked if someone else may take a look

I am sorry but as you know it was not any lack of effort on my part OR indeed yours.

You have been great to work with

I apologise to you that I cannot find the solution.

A custom install - known as a repair install of Windows on previous editions, may well solve it, but it seems a rather drastic step

I see the main problem being the lack of any data in devices and printers and of course the inability to scan

I do believe this is connected with the original main problem of the lost files etc and Libraries, but I cannot see a way forward

Thank you for being so great to work with and I wish you the best of luck with it.

Regards

Macboatmaster

Hi guys and I will try to help also.
After reading through the topic I am at a loss as to what we are dealing with as far as the system itself.

Before we can help you need to provide the following so I can start you in the right direction.
Laptop or Desktop?

• If a name brand system then what brand, make and model is the system?
• If custom built then what brand, make and model is the motherboard
• Total memory installed
• Total hard drive capacity and free space

[Macboatmaster]

Does this help - do appreciate it is a long topic - by now

I have posted separately, as it appears important

Occasionally if I move the computer suddenly it shuts down and I have to restart it.

That is from post 36 and my response was in 37.

This aspect was just re-drawn to my attention by dsenette. - thank you - I overlooked the further exploring of that issue.

How reponsible it is for the printer/scan problem I am not sure.

Edited by Macboatmaster, 26 September 2012 - 09:23 AM.

[rshaffer61]

Yeah it would seem a connection is loose for sure because of this.
How old is the laptop in question?
Sudden shutdowns can cause a variety of issues as I'm sure you know Mac and that in itself is worth further investigation. I fear that unless this is resolved first you may never find the resolution to the other issues. My suspicion is that there may be damage to motherboard because of this.

[Jerry67]

Ok thank you for all your efforts. Are you guys finished with me? Is this the end? What do I need to do now, do I really have to try to find a new laptop?

Edited by Jerry67, 01 October 2012 - 06:38 AM.

[rshaffer61]

The first step I would suggest is to have a shop open the laptop up and check for a loose power connection either in the battery, ac or motherboard. Depending on what they find we can then advise to the replacement of parts or a new laptop is now needed.

We worked together on your topic for sometime as you know and I am just sorry, as I said before I could not solve it.

I commented quite a bit earlier in the topic about it sometimes swtiching off when you moved it, and we checked if that was when on AC only, battery only etc.

I wish you the best of luck with it.

Thanks for being so great to work with

We solved a couple of the orignal problems, Libraries etc but never the real problem.

The establishing of why it does sometimes switch off, is I agree vital, as even if it does not switch off - whatever is defective, poorly connected, etc may well be responsible for many of the errors.

Once again
Good Luck.

Ok thank you for all your work

[Macboatmaster]

You are more than welcome

as I said

Thanks for being so great to work with

[Jerry67]

Since it appears the Dell computer is of poor quality I would appreciate a suggestion on a replacement

[Macboatmaster]

A couple of good colleagues of mine, are well versed at this aspect, they are far more experienced than I am on laptops. In fact I have never owned one.

I will ask if they will assist you in deciding a replacement, suitable to your needs and budget.
