I am trying to use RDP from my Vista Ultimate 64 bit desktop machine to control my vista business laptop but when i start the RDP and enter the username and password it responds with "Your credentials did not work". I have successfully connected to other XP machines from the ultimate 64 machine and i have successfully connected to the business laptop from xp machines which hint towards there being an issue between these two machines only.
I have a Sony notebook that came with Vista Business OEM from Sony. I have upgraded it to SP1 and have added various updates since then. I have a retail Vista Ultimate license/DVDs and a retail Vista Ultimate + SP1 license/DVDs. What's the least problematic way to take what I have and end up with the Sony notebook running Vista Ultimate SP1? Is it even worth it?
I don't want to do the Anytime Upgrade since the full retail licenses I have are already paid for. I'm a little leery because so much of the stuff Sony installs seems very fragile. (For instance, I don't want the TPM code tipping over.) I'm also really leery about uninstalling SP1, in part for the same reasons plus there have been many updates and changes since then.I had mentally reserved the SP1 license for the next desktop I build (Nehalem/Bloomfield X58?) and had hoped to use the slipstreamed DVD to avoid having to build that one and then immediately go install SP1. OTOH, if there is a way to get a pair of unkeyed Vista+SP1 edition DVDs as replacement or SP media--that I can use with my pre-SP1 retail key--I would consider that.
I have vista home premium, supplied with machine on a HP pavillion a642. its OK but I cannot network with my 3 other computers all running XP pro. is this down to incompatability, too lower version of vista orsomething else? I would look at upgrading to business or ultimate BUT can these be loaded on top of the home version & just over write it or will I have format the HDD & reinstall everything?
Basically, I bought a Dell XPS M1730, this came with Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit. I then thought I'd have a look at Windows 7, so I installed Windows 7.... Yesterday I got fed up with it, fancied a clean wipe of the system and grabbed a Vista disc which I had (not one that came with the original machine, burnt from an iso obtained from my university). After doing a destructive install of Windows Vista, I found that I had installed Business. Now I did not see any options to upgrade to Ultimate (anytime just shows me "learn about the different versions of vista"), and I did not see any options when installing... Obviously I have no key for Business, so when the trial expires Im buggered, how can I get my hands on an Ultimate upgrade?

I upgraded my pc and bought Windows Vista ultimate 64bit, and i would like to install Windows vista Business 64bit. How can i do it? I took ultimate because it was the only version i could find (in my area anyway) that had a 64bit version in the box. But i don't want the media center, the high definition, and all the multimedia stuff. All of these ultimate "extras" are of no use whatsover to me. So my question is basically can i install the Business version with my ultimate key ? (is it "downwards" compatible in a way ?). I don't understand why ultimate is the only one with 64bit in the box. It doesn't make sense to me. It would have been much more logical for the Business version to be the one with 64bit in the box.
I see Windows Sound Schemes, and DreamScene Content Pack 3 now available. Also the Windows Vista Ultimate Language Packs are back after the SP1 upgrade.
Purchased an HP notebook with premium and set it up but did not activate yet. Then purchased an Ultimate Upgrade with anytime upgrade. Installed the upgrade using the key from the bottom of the PC when it asked for the current product key. No errors. Finishes the upgrade and restarts and still is running Home Premium. Why did ultimate not take? We need ultimate to login to a domain.
Anyone tell me how to restrict a user on Vista Business to only run one single program? I'm talking no control panel, no search, nothing except my program, log off, shutdown, and restart. Have basically gotten all programs taken off the start menu and am stuck. Need to disable the access to the user account and the search box.
I know you can get Hold 'em on business but why can't you get it on Home Premium. I don't want or need business but would like the game. Is there anyway of getting it on Home.
Running Outlook 2003 on Vista Business. Have copied outlook express folder from old PC to C: on Vista. Import says "Cannot open mail folder". I imported into Windows Mail so it isn't a security problem, as the folder and all subfolders/files are owned by the user who has full control of the folder and files. What can the problem be? Is it because there is no email acount set up as yet?
I Have Windows Vista OEM 32 bit that came on my computer. I noticed that the full retail version of ultimate includes the 32 and 64 bit install. With the anytime upgrade to ultimate can I choose between the 32 and 64 bit vista ultimate? I do realize that I would have to do a clean install of the 64 bit OS. I would like to try the 64 bit version but would also like to be able revert back to the 32 bit if the 64 bit doesn't work out. If I can't then the 32 bit version it is as I need to join a domain.........
I just migrated to 64 bit Vista and I have Windows Mail. When I was using 32 bit Vista I had all my Hotmail folders, newsgroups, calendar, etc. when I selected the Mail icon. Is there a way to migrate Hotmail to Windows Mail, or a way to replace Windows Mail with what I had when I was using 32 bit Vista? I had IE 8 with 32 bit and I have IE 8 with 64 bit.
Downloaded Vista Business Upgrade from Microsoft and a week later my hard drive is starting to fail with bad blocks, but files are still intact I have a new hard drive installed and want to perform a complete restore of the computer, so I did a complete backup of the computer. I restarted the computer pressed F8 and on the options there is no computer recovery options.
I Installled Vista Ultimate in my laptop now i got activate in 30 days. actually i have VISTA Businees key. i want revart back to VISTA BUSINESS without reinstall, is there any way to back the vista business?.
I have Vista Business x64 installed from a full (non upgrade) disk and running nicely on my main PC. I also have jus received a copy of Ultimate full install licence. I want to replace the Business on my main PC with Ultimate and then reinstall the Business version on a new PC with minimal rework. How do I do this. Can i upgrade the Business using the Ultimate key and then reinstall the Business and use the key previously on my main PC with the previous Business install (I assume I'd have o call MS to reactivate)???
I have 3 VB machines running IE8. All worked fine until today, where nobody can open the IE8 app. The one XP machine in the office is working fine on IE8, and the Windows SBS 2008 machine we have is running fine on IE7. We did emergency Firefox installs, and this is what we are using now to do browsing. It looks like the program is trying to open, but just doesn't. The only update installed yesterday was a definition update for Windows defender, although since then I have installed SP2 on my machine to see if it cures.
I installed IE 8 beta 1 and decided to remove it per MS' instructions. The system reverted to IE7 but now when I launch IE, it crashes with a DEP error. I followed MS' help instructions and added IE7 to the DEP exclusion list. However, IE7 still crashes with the same error. I wanted to reinstall IE7 but I could not find it on MS' web site. - Is IE 7 for Vista available as a separate download?
- Any other suggestions with regards to the DEP error? Note: I have FF3 and Opera 9.5 on my system. I also use AVANT as a front end to IE. The interesting factor is that AVANT works just fine... which I see as odd being that it must have IE to work with.
I have Vist Home Premium on my new computer. I needed to upgrade for my job. I was told to buy the Business Upgrade. I did and it turned out to be the wrong product. You CANNOT upgrade from home premium to business. I am now stuck with this software.
Dell Dimension 8300 about 5 yrs old, running WinXP Pro SP3. Tried to do an upgrade the last 2 days, and it appeared to go most of the way through the process. Walked in on it yesterday to check the status and found it cycling through the bootup screens. It first says that Windows didn't/can't start up normally and gives me 3 options - start vista, go back to the previous version or do a setup rollback. Then it goes to the normal F8 screen before it tries to load windows and begins the process again.
Having checked I cannot find an upgrade path from Home to Business. I have a client with 5 Vista Home PC's which need to be moved to Business in order to connect to SBS2003. What options are available?
Is MS selling Vista Business anymore? I go on the Windows Catalog website and I can't find it being offered.
I have a perfectly functioning Win XP SP3 laptop. I've heard both sides of the upgrade issue.
1. Where can I buy Windows Vista Business? I don't want to get it from some unreputable vendor. Will the version I buy contain the latest SP's? 2. My XP was OEM, does that cause major issues when upgrading to Vista? 3. I ran the Vista upgrade advisor and it states my laptop will handle Vista if a do a few tasks first. Are the other resources regarding upgrading to Vista on the web?
My problem is that Outlook 2003 on VISTA Business hangs when checking for incoming mail. It also somestimes takes a very long time (several minutes) to send an email - the email window remains open with the hourglass running, and while waiting to send or while receiving Outlook is completely hung, so you cannot use it - you cannot even minimize or get any response from any of the Outlook windows. The windows do not redraw.
If I cancel the application using Task Manager, it initially says "Outlook is not responding" and also "Checking for a solution to this problem" but then both Outlook and the "Checking for a solution" windows vanish without trace. On restart Outlook will sometimes work OK when pressing send/receive, other times it will hang as before. It does not come up with the message that Outlook was not closed properly and does not go through the file checking process.
I see big bucks being spent for speech-to-text uses in business (billions) - but I question if speech recognition has valid use for us "hobby" users. Anyone here use Dragon NaturallySpeaking for trivial uses? If so, what can it do better than simply banging on a keyboard?
I know that upgrading from Home Premium versions to Business versions is not directly supported (I don't think it is, anyway). I have 10 licenses for Business and I wish to join a domain. Is there a way I can load Vista Business and apply my Business licenses to sort of "quasi-upgrade" my newly purchased machine which came with Home Premium to Vista Business? That is, other than a clean install (I'm trying not to have to track down all the drivers). There is no data on the machine now so I don't have to worry about data. I was thinking maybe a "repair" install or something? Or an "overwrite" install?
I am running rdiff backup (Not that this makes a difference for the problem) on Windows that runs fine on Windows XP and Windows Vista Business N. But it doesn't run on Windows Vista Premium because of the junctions that exist in Vista. The difference is that in Vista Home Premium you can't follow the junctions but in Vista Business N you can. Meaning, in Windows Explorer running Vista Business N if you browse to a location with a junction (say Documents and Settings) and click on it, it follows it to it's new location (Users) where in Vista Home Premium, when you click "Documents and Settings" you get the "Permission/Access Denied Error" Anyone know why? Or better yet, how to fix it? Or is this just a difference between Business and Home?
I originally had Windows Vista Home but Business was all he had so that is what I tried using, both 32-bit. I deleted all files thinking I would just be able to install it and get it over with. So now I do not have any operating system installed. Everything works fine up to the point where it restarts and I get to the Completing Installation (Last step) and it will run for a while on that point and the screen will flicker twice and after a moment the computer will lockup and then it will not go any further. The computer I am using is an Acer Aspire 5515.
