I bought an Laptop with Vista Home Premium 32bit. If I install a FULL version of Windows 7 on this Laptop, can I use the Vista Home Premium 32bit key from the laptop on one of my other desktops? If so, would I talk to Microsoft or the manufacturer to get a disk without all the manufacturer "Bonus" software?

I knew Vista Home does not allow remote desktop connection to it. I followed some online hack and install some Terminal Service hack file. It worked when my laptop Windows XP sits close to the Vista HOME PC, when the laptop is using wireless and the Vista is using Internet LAN connection. I made sure my Kaspasky Internet Security Firewall is open for RDP port. But the moment when I move out of my home, and bring the laptop to an outside network, I cann't connect to the Vista Home PC anymore. If RDP to Vista is not an option. What is the next best remote connection software that allows smooth file transform and clipboard transfer, as seamless as RDP?

My HP dv2500 laptop running Vista used to work fine connecting to my printer over the local network via an XP-based main PC, which has a Kodak Printer hooked to it. At some point in the last few months, the laptop stopped being able to connect. I think this was around the time of upgrading to SP1, but cannot be sure. In any case, I even went so far as to rebuild my main PC and do a clean install of Vista on that machine, I can print from the laptop if I connect the printer directly into the USB port on my laptop, but cannot access the printer via the network anymore
- Printer sharing is enabled on both the PC and the laptop
- When I go into control panel - add printer - select network printer, the network printer appears in the pop-up box.
- Once I select the printer and click next, I get the following error: "Windows cannot connect to the printer. Make sure that you have typed the name correctly, and that the printer is connected to the network"........

the windows sounds like the startup sound and the asterisks etc are not loud enough even at the max volume. The music and video etc. are loud and fine.but the general windows sounds are too low in volume even at max volume.and it recognizes it too because when i set the volume to max in the corner to next to the clock,the green bar fills only 20% or so when it beeps.

When I right click on the sound icon in the system tray, it brings up the sounds associated with Windows (Vista Home Premium) actions. However, when I click on the Play icon, the sounds don't play. WAV files on my computer are associated with the Windows Media Player (although I've tried the other available sound players too and the same thing happens - no sound. My sound card seems to work fine and I have the latest driver. If I go directly to Windows>Media and play the sounds, they PLAY!!! I've set all WAV files to play with Windows Media Player. Sometimes the Windows logo, when booting up, plays a sound - but most of the time it doesn't.

I don't know why but for some reason within the last week or so my xbox360 has stopped connecting to my hp laptop (vista home premium 32bit). I have a 2wire 1800hg gateway, with both the laptop and xbox connected wirelessly (using Intel link 5100/official microsoft wireless connector respectively).
As I say before a few days ago I could access my shared media via my xbox dashboard, as well as via the media center extender. However now it's not working. The 2wire has it's own firewall but I have opened the laptops connections up completely today (although this wasn't an issue a week or two ago?). And I've opened up many ports in windows firewall too.
When I look at the full map in the network and sharing connections window it does indeed show the xbox and laptop connecting to the router, so it is seeing it. However no connection can be made in either direction (i.e. the xbox cannot find any pc's and the pc's media center can't find the mc extender). I've tried numerous things so far, opening ports etc.. but nothing has worked, so this is my last resort!

Today I installed a program that will let you record any sound coming from your speakers. It's a paid program and it's a reputable program but I noticed something after the reboot. Im not sure it's related or not. When I even move my cursor over a icon on my desktop it gives that windows sounds, like a critical beep. When I click on a topic here in the newsgroup to read, same thing. Clicking on contrl panel incons or any incons up there, same noise.

there must be many people who have moved all their mail from XP on one laptop to Vista mail on a new laptop. These two computers can see each other on the network. How can I easily move all history, contacts, folders etc from one to the other?

The sound failed a while back for no apparent reason, no new hardware, possibly new software. I installed a pci sound card it worked fine. I just installed a pctv card in the slot my sound occupied. I have tv and no sound. I have updated realtec drivers, the device manager says it's working properly, when I open the audio manager it says its sending sound to the speakers.

Windows Vista Home Premium. IE7. Office 2007
Peculiar sounds annoy me so I have set 'Sounds' to virtually nil using Control Panel/Sounds and disabling all the Windows boings and beeps and saved the setting as "My own".
However, I keep getting the odd boing, burp and beep, such as when closing a programme after pasting something and closing E7.
Is there somewhere else I should look to stop these irritants?

I have extraneous sounds left over from viewing a Web page video. I have
done all the anti-virus/Spybot/reset Internet Explorer tricks that I can
think of.
Brand new Dell came with Vista. Ignore it? Or anyone have hints for fixing
the sound card?

My mom changed her theme the other day and now there are no sounds for new messaged received, opening and closing windows, logging in or out, emptying recycle bin...etc. I've tried going into sounds and picking new ones, old ones and nothing works. In sounds where you can "test" a certain sound, nothing plays. It's not the speakers cause music plays just fine. I loaded all the windows media files into windows media player and they work so it's not that. How do I get them to play again?

Sometime my system sounds work and most of the time they don't. My Device Manager doesn't show any problems. When I right click on the sound icon in the System Tray and click on Sounds, then try the sounds, most of the time they don't work. I have all the latest digitally signed drivers (HP Pavilion laptop). When I go straight to the Sounds folder and try the sounds, they don't work. I don't even know which app is supposed to play these sounds (it might help if I knew in order to solve the problem). I have no viruses or malware in my system. Not sure - but it seems like the system sounds stop working sometime while the system is booted and has been running for a while. Please could someone offer some other things to check or try? What app is supposed to run these sounds? Are there any other sites that might be able to help (or other Newsgroups)? I depend heavily on these sounds working properly so thi sissue is important to me to solve. If I've left out any relative detail,

I just installed the new update for the Ultimate Extra Sounds Schemes. When I have one of these new schemes selected as my sounds, when I shut down or reboot my pc, I see a brief black screen with red text and something about explorer.exe not respoding or something. It happens with either of these new sound schemes Glass, or Pearl. When I put if back to default, problem goes away. Nice extra MSFT!

3 days ago my computer started making very quiet beeping sounds, it happens mostly when I use Mozilla Firefox and Windows Explorer. My impression is that the sound is coming from the motherboard. When I restarted in safe mode the sound disappeared,
so after a very long elimination process I discovered that when I change control panel-power options-processor power management settings the frequency of beeping changes as well. Until now I was using balanced settings (min processor state 5% and max processor state 100%), if I choose high performance (min and max processor state are both 100%) the beeping becomes very frequent almost continuous, and if I choose power saver settings (min processor state 5% and max processor state 50%) I don't notice the beeping anymore but of course I don't want to keep using only 50% of my processor. I am using a desktop computer, not a laptop. Except for the annoying sound the computer works normally. I have Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit SP1.

I have been using Office 2007 for about a year, and this morning something changed. Historically, when I would designate a mail item for permanent deletion (by hitting shift and delete at the same time), a dialog box would pop up asking me if I was sure that I wanted that item to be permanently deleted. When the dialog box appeared, a sound was made simultaneously. (I believe that if I clicked yes to the question in the dialog box, another sound was made.) Today, for no apparent reason, there are no sounds made. I opened Control Panel and selected "sounds" to see if Outlook was among the programs listed where certain actions within a program are accentuated with sounds, but i see that Outlook is not listed. I restored the Sounds from "modified default" to "Windows Default" and re-started Outlook, but the sound was not restored. Does anyone know how to restore my sounds?

So I am goofy and want my Vista Ultimate to play my own wav files instead of the ones it came with. but they simply don't play at all. I have done everything I know how to get this to work. I go to control panel sounds and the sound tab and have put the .wav files i want to use into the C:/Windows/Media folder and am able to select them through the sound menu... but the test option plays nothing for my wavs and it doesnt do anything when the system is supposed to make said sound...
I even checked all the properties to make sure they were the same the only differance I can see is that the sound files that work are owned by the system and the ones that dont are owned by administraitor. I do know how to change the ownership of files through the properties menu but even in Administraitor mode there is no option for system... I do not however think that it is the cause... is it that vista just doesnt want you using your own sound files?

I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium and the system operates faster than with my previous set-up with XP. After updating some of my drivers from Windows update, I am satified with VISTA so far except that I noticed that Windows identifies my video card as a standard VGA. When I down loaded the Nvidia driver from Toshiba (QG20disp-7882), it seemed to install and operate correctly however Internet Explorer would not start after the installation. I tried several times with the same results. To get the internet working again I had to Restore the sytem to the previous standard VGA set up. This standard VGA set-up limits the ability to see videos with Media Center. Has anyone run into this problem and how can I solve it. Incidentaly the
NVIDIA card has 128 MB dedicated memory so it should be able to run AERO but it is not available.
