HCL company system OS : XP - Computers & Internet

all 1 zillion printers from 1981 to Now , wow, =!
you pC hardware supports old parallel and USB 2 printers.
The OS? or Drivers , is the hard question.
state PC you are running. ok, 4600 DT (very old with AGP video! P4)
state OS you are running.? (guess XP)
and if connected to the internet.? (no? then its hopeless)
my Windows 8 , supports, nearly all 1 zillion printers. instantly.

but let me guess, it's still running XP on that old Pent,4 system.
you do know the MS drops XP support soon, right?
what does that mean?, that means they will not support all printers, soon. nor all the future security issues, way bad....

So here is the easy answer, for all PC'S, ever.
1: if your PC plugs in to that odd printer, bingo it's hardware compatible, most are USB most parallel printers long sense died.
I have a 1995 epson parallel that works , its a show piece, relic.
USB printer, your PC is USB 2 certified.

2: next, is does the OS support, it, well plug it in, and see.
OS means, operating system.
if you have internet, the OS tries to load a driver to match.
this ACT, is called plug and play(pray) PNP.
if it don't play?
3 :you then go to the printer makers web site.
it be smart to do this, first, if buying relic printers on fleabay, yes.
see if your printer is supported under XP.?
most are not. today. (newer printers my have stopped supporting XP. it's no revelation that. XP is dead. and not secure !)

4: the HCL. is the hardware compat. list.
go to MS, (soon, or its no more..) and find the XP HCL, if not already deleted. and look up your printer.
if missing MS, don't support it.
but that don't mean the maker does not, step3.
ive done 1000s in linux and all MS OS. since day one 1981.(IBM)
before that, DEC !

if thinking printe/r scanner/fax, that is near impossible on XP.
but the maker will tell you that fact. do look.
BTW , i recommend a used, computer
with at least a dual core. then get 4gb memory and load W8
and iNtel box or AMD, (im an AMD man)
or buy a emachine at walf-a-r-t.with w8 loaded.

XP is dead. the sword is thrust thru it's wretched heart.
RIP XP. 21 gun salute.

For you Laptop drivers (Win XP/ Vista/ Windows 7)

HCL NOTEBOOK P38 (AX0P3810)

http://www.hclsupportservice.in/DriversDisplay.jsp?val=Tm90ZWJvb2s=&prodC=TUUgTGFwdG9w&prodM=Series%2038 you will go directly to the 38 series HCL laptop drivers

for HCL drivers/support entry page http://www.hclsupportservice.in/drvr-dwnld.jsp?pF=Tm90ZWJvb2s=

You might like to try one of those provided by Windows. When you boot in safe mode and update the driver of your Graphic card in control panel and device manager, you can choose one of those drivers from windows vga compatible driver list.

And a download link here.

try to reformat it again...

but change your XP professional OS to Window 7

win7 can fix your problem even though you dont have a driver for your pc..

hope it can help

First I'd try booting the PC, as its booting press the F8 key several times. This, with luck, will offer several boot options. Choose Safe mode. (A stripped out version of windows)

Assuming it boots into safe mode, Click on start - all programmes - Accessories - System Tools - System restore.

Restore to a date prior to the SP2 installation.

If all that works, update by going through the windows update software - Start - All Programmes - Windows update.

That will update your o's to SP3.

Failing that, without a copy of windows you're a bit stuck.

However, if you are stuck and don't want to pay again for an operating system, you could download and install "Ubuntu" for free. Its a linux based operating system. Just Google Ubuntu, all instructions are on the web page.

maybe, xp is not supported by your laptop. look at first the requirements of every OS before you install.

Here is a list of drivers, you didn't list an OS. This list has XP through Windows 7. http://203.90.122.162:8080/examples/jsp/download/pon_downloadlist.jsp

Thanks

It could be that you need xp drivers for your sata hd, but it can be a problem 'cos even when you get it, xp cd will not even start to let you install them. Maybe you find bootable drivers, i don't know. Or maybe you obtain some -special version of xp with drivers for your sata preppared. And finally you can just install Vista, it should have the drivers.
