How do you download free HP psc 1610 scanner software?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I did a search on the HP web site the only drivers that i can find for a PSC type system is that 426mb file. I really do not know why they do not have separate files for individual PSC type scanners and printers.

If the files are not on the HP web site i highly doubt you will find them, so sadly just have to download from here: http://www.hp.com/#Support

Then go through the steps of downloading the software.

How do you change 'Registry editing has been disabled'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First Method:

Click Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Prevent access to registry editing tools -> Right Click Properties -> Set it to Not Configured.

Second Method:

Click Start -> Run. Type this command in Run box and press Ok. REG add HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 Then a prompt will come up with this question: Value DisableRegistryTools exists, overwrite (Y/N)? Type yes and hit Enter. After u did that also type this command in the run box and hit enter. REG add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System /v DisableRegistryTools /t REG_DWORD /d 0 Then it will also come up with the question: Value DisableRegistryTools exists, overwrite (Y/N)? Type yes and hit Enter.

Third Method:

STEP1. Disable as much as you can from your startup. Remove programs from your startup folder and such, so as not to lag down the bootup process.

STEP2.Create a new shortcut on your desktop, point it to "C:\Windows\regedit.exe"

STEP3.Log off, then log back on.

STEP4.As soon as you see your desktop, double click on the shortcut. The system does not check for policies until a few seconds after it booted up. If you click on the icon fast enough, it should let you get in. After you close it though, it will not open unless you redo step 3 and 4.

Fourth Method:

Getting into the registry editor by making a vbs script in notepad: Open Notepad and copy this script into it. And save it as regtool.vbs on your desktop. VBS SCRIPT(select everything and copy into notepad and save as regtool.vbs):

Option Explicit

'Declare variables

Dim WSHShell, rr, rr2, MyBox, val, val2, ttl, toggle

Dim jobfunc, itemtype

On Error Resume Next

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

val = "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"

val2 = "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System\DisableRegistryTools"

itemtype = "REG_DWORD"

jobfunc = "Registry Editing Tools are now "

ttl = "Result"

'reads the registry key value.

rr = WSHShell.RegRead (val)

rr2 = WSHShell.RegRead (val2)

toggle=1

If (rr=1 or rr2=1) Then toggle=0

If toggle = 1 Then

WSHShell.RegWrite val, 1, itemtype

WSHShell.RegWrite val2, 1, itemtype

Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "disabled.", 4096, ttl)

Else

WSHShell.RegDelete val

WSHShell.RegDelete val2

Mybox = MsgBox(jobfunc & "enabled.", 4096, ttl)

End If

Open regtool.vbs And there you go!

What is the purpose of Windows registry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Registry is a database that stores your computer hardware,software,security,user settings or profiles,and property settings for folders and programs. When you perform a normal full boot of your computer,Windows process the information in the Registry to properly configure your computer. For example,the Registry contains information on hardware devices and resources (such as IRQs,I/O addresses, and DMA channels)assigned to both Plug and Play and legacy devices. During booting Windows uses this information to identify and configure hardware devices,reconfigure hardware devices (if necessary), and update the Registry. Microsoft recommends that you use tools, such as Device Manager, the Control Panel, and property sheets, to make configuration changes, rather than opening and editing the Registry. If you open the Registry and make a mistake while you are changing a configuration setting, you might not even be able to use your computer, or you might introduce errors in its hardware and software configuration so that it does not function properly. It's also important to note that if you open and make a change to the Registry, Windows does not warn you if the change you made in incorrect.

If you catch air in downhill skiing will it slow down or increase your speed?

User Avatar

Asked by JillianG

In skiing you have to deal with the winter weather elements. This includes various snow conditions ranging from brick hard ice to soft, melting snow. The snow also has a way of transforming its shape after you have skied on it. If several skiers ski the same course down the hill then the snow consistency and placement will change. You will build up "ruts". Ruts are grooves that outline where all the skiers have skied. These ruts can become very big. Often times these ruts and quick changes in elevation will produce mini jumps on the ski hill. When you catch air you will definitely slow down your speed. First of all the wind resistance will pull you back. Second of all you lose contact with the snow. You want to have contact with the snow on the flat bottom of your ski as much as possible. Anytime you put your ski edge against the snow to turn or recover you are slowing yourself down. Ski racers have learned to avoid catching air from jumps by bending their knees and holding their center of gravity down when they go over the jump. This helps to minimize your trajectory into the air.

Can a vertical window air conditioner be mounted in a horizontal window?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, because of the mechanical compressor mounting. Much of how the compressor works is based upon gravity - altering the gravitational flow of the gases inside the unit would make it non-operational, and could cause internal damage, and/or a fire. There's a reason things are marked plainly "this side up".
