Download drivers for another pc, but firefox will only install them

I am trying to download drivers for a new (used) pc I obtained. When I try to download the proper driver, The only option available to me is to install. There is no question of do I want to save, only to install. Is there a setting to overcome this?

Hi bussoboy,
Adding to sarbin's instructions, you should probably run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor from MS .  That will show you what is compatible and what is not.

    Hi anniepat,
    FLAC files do not run on iTunes. See this article for how to convert your FLAC files to iTunes compatible format:

  • When I run the installation utility nothing happens. I can save the file to the desktop or run it directly within another browser but Firefox does not install--the wizard never even initiates.

    Earlier this week Firefox 4.0 crashed. Unsure what happened I elected to reinstall. I downloaded a fresh copy of Firefox from the website and reinstalled. That was a disaster. Firefox was running about 1/20th the speed of Explorer.
    Figuring I had some residual problem from the crash I performed a full uninstall, eliminating all personal data and customization, to again install. I have now downloaded the installation utility eight times and not one has worked. Once the program finishes extracting it closes. The installation wizard never launches. I have tried both saving to my local disk and running from within the browser and I get the same result.

    Firefox is only a browser; it doesn't have the ability to install third party apps other than those specifically written for it like plugins and extensions.
    So after you choose "Save file", click the "Downloads" button in the toolbar and then right click the downloaded file and choose "Open Containing Folder", or "Open File Location" to take you to the folder where it can be found. See screenshot for an example of what the Download button looks like.
    From there, double click it to start the installation.
    To update Firefox, click Help | Check For Updates in the version you're running right now. The upgrade will subsequently take place automatically.
    N.B. If the file you downloaded didn't come from a bona fide source, always right click it and choose to scan it with your anti-virus app first before you run (double click) it. That way, you avoid installing malware which piggybacks onto another app.

  • Drivers for HP Officejet 150 (mobile) will not install

    I've been attempting to install a HP officejet 150 on a Mac air laptop that is running windows 7 (64 bit). Every time I try to run the installation program for either the full software and driver set OR the basic drivers it tells me that the computer has neither USB drivers nor USB ports, so it cannot install. Obviously the computer has these things. This happens even if I am trying to set up a bluetooth connection through the software as well as the USB connection.
    Also, when I try to go through the bluetooth menu to install the device without a driver, it finds the device but cannot find appropriate drivers.
    Has anyone heard of a similar issue? This is a real problem for me as I purchased this machine specifically for use with this computer.
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Try following these steps and let me know if that may help:
    1 )From Windows 7, type %temp% into the search bar and open the litsted Temp folder.
    2) Locate and open the HP installation folder, it will begin with the 7z characters (e.g. 7zs1234)
         Note: if  there are several folders locate the latest one.
    3) From that folder fo open the Setup folder
    4) Delete the usbready.exe file
    5) Navigate back 1 level up to the 7z folder and launch the Setup.exe file to install the HP software.
    Hope that may help,
    Shlomi

  • I can receive emails contaning 5++ attachments (mainly photos) but Firefox will only let me forward 5. Why? How do I change that ?

    I will receive an email that contains 8 to 12 photos and when I attempt to forward that same email, nice red ink says "you can only forward 5 attachments. Please remove some". Yet I can forward videos with no limits. Happens every time.

    Firefox doesn't do email, it's strictly a web browser.
    If you are using Firefox to access your mail, you are using "web-mail". You need to seek support from your service provider or a forum for that service.
    If your problem is with Mozilla Thunderbird, see this forum for support.

  • I can down load setup, but firefox will not install on windows 7

    Extracting files window appears, begins extracting files, then dissappears and nothing more happens

    Do you have enough space? Try move the installer to another partition.
    Do you have the rights to install programs?
    Are you share that an anti-malware software doesn't block you Firefox installation progress?

  • HT1338 I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update.

    I have OS X 10.6.8 on my mac and have just downloaded 10.7.4 (needed for imovie 11) but it will not update. What has happened to the downloaded update?

    When you downloaded Lion from the Appstore (and paid 29$) you have 10.7.4.
    After the download you will find it in the Applications folder: that is the installer ! The installer vanishes when used, thus if you want to make an installer disk (to avoid a later redownload), you should do it before you run this installer. You can use "Lion Diskmaker" for that (use a 8GB USB stick), http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/39701/lion-diskmaker/
