Fixing Dell AIO 922 on Windows 7
My junior tech upgraded a few desktops in the office to Windows 7. This instantly broke a number of things, one of which was the DELL all-in-one printer-fax-scanner. Microsoft Windows 7 drivers do not work for this scanner device (surprise surprise).
To get this working under Windows 7.
- Unplug the device and remove the printer and the drivers.
- Goto the DELL support site and download the R166239.zip file.
- Unzip and run the application.
- Restart the computer.
- Download and install the driver and application R151371.exe
- Plug the device back in
- The install will complete and you’ll have a nice scan application which works.
Goodbye Joe
Joe Frazier died a couple of days ago. It brings back the memories of all the guys I trained with in the 80′s, dreaming of being the next big boxing name. Reality can take you down roads unintended and the dream fades, but that’s another story.
I remember watching boxing in the 70′s being quite different to what it is now and heavyweight boxing just doesn’t seem to be in the same class nowadays, with the characters and entertainment falling far short of the era passed. Maybe that’s just an age thing, right!! I think it’s more to do with the then tougher times, in the south, especial at the height of civil rights and the freedom movement in the US. I never really followed Joe as Muhammad Ali was my inspiration and still is, as I’m sure he was for many. But let’s not forget that Joe achieved the accolade of being the first boxer to beat Ali, in a time when we went 15 rounds. God bless you sir.
