Microsoft MN-510 Driver?

Ron Asks:

I need to download the driver for a Microsoft MN-510 for Windows XP. I can’t find it anywhere.

My Reply:

The MN510 driver and network utility are contained in the download below. Once you begin installation you will have a choice of drivers.

You could also check out the Microsoft Knowledge Base items for more information about the adapter:

Hope this helps. Gord

TIP: Permanently remove “fix redeye” problem when importing photos in Photoshop Elements…

I’ve discovered a BIG flaw in Photoshop Elements (versions 3 thru 6 – probably in version 7 too). When you’re importing a lot of photos into the organizer, there’s a little checkbox that says … “Automatically Fix Red Eyes”. The first time you use it make sure you UNCHECK that little box! It “probably” will stay unchecked the next time you use it, but I always double-check just to make sure.

My reasoning behind this is that the function really SUCKS! It rarely does it correctly, and some of your photos will end up looking like the people have black eyes. The real bad news is that once it’s done it’s “automatic fix” there NO WAY to undo it. (click here or the title above to read full article)
