I have a new Dell Inspiron 531 running Vista, it has a tuner card and I want to copy VHS from a reasonably recent JVC VHS machine onto the hard drive. Whatever I do I can't see any detection of the VHS player or signal.
I've tried outputting the signal via a coaxial lead into the aerial socket of the tuner card - nothing. I've tried using a scart lead to s-video+2x phono with the phono into an adapter going into the audio socket - nothing. I've tried a scart to 3 phono adapter, with the yellow phono going into the comp socket of the tuner card adn 2other 2 phonos via adapter into audio as above - nothing. I've tried looking for the signal in Windows Media Center and Windows Movie Maker, I can't even see it let alone start to save it to the hard drive.

I have bought a new system with Vista Home Premium and I am trying to install an IDE hard drive as a slave. These are from my old system and I just want them installed so I can copy across stuff. I have done this in XP with no problem but I cannot seem to get this system to see them. If they do not show up in Bios does this mean Vista wont see them? I have tried varies jumper settings but my Bios just wont see either of my drives. My new system has a Sata HD installed so I am just connecting my slave IDE HD to the empty IDE connector on the Mobo.

I can't copy to my USB flash disk (Kingston Data Traveler 8GB) or my external hard drive - Toshiba 2.5'' 160 GB HDD in a USB powered external enclosure. I can copy very small files to the flash drive - like 500-800 kb. Anything bigger results in "preparing to copy" window with a scrolling bar. Nothing happens if i wait... The first time i plugged in the USB hard drive, Windows recognized it and tried installing drivers for it but it just hung on "Windows is installing drivers for this device" and i had to unplug the drive since nothing was happening. Now nothing happens, i don't even get the previously mentioned balloon in the bottom right corner, though the hard drive powers up.
And to make this even crazier, my USB mouse and keyboard work just fine, no matter of what USB i connect them (front panel, back). I tried uninstalling them from Device Manager, enabling/disabling Legacy USB Support from the BIOS (was set to BIOS Setup Only), plugging them in all the USB port i have, including front panel. There is nothing wrong with both the USB flash drive and the USB hard drive - they work perfectly on my laptop the second i plug them in.

I bought Ultimate w/SP-1 OEM 64 bit. I currently have Home Premium 64 bit. Can I just install Ultimate on top of Home Premium---or should I uninstall it? If I uninstall Home ver during installation of Ultimate, why would I need to keep the recovery copy of Home ver on "D" that came with the computer?
Shouldn't I get rid it and free up that partition for other use... then just make a complete computer recovery copy and store it on the USB external drive? I like what I have read a litte about the Maxtor One Touch backup--- but have never used it. I presume it will do a complete computer back up?

I have a ASUS laptop running Vista Home Premium, 64 bit OS. I have several programs that I use but no loner have the insall disks for. Should I have to reformat in the future I would hate to lose them. Here's what I'm thinking: Buy a extrenal hard drive. Seagate, 1Tbit, usb, cost $90.00. Copy my hard drive to it. If I need to reformat. Reinstall Vista from my recover disk that came with the computer. Then copy files from external drive. Bingo. All my old programs would be there and working. Question is: Can this be done?
What file/folders do I need to copy to the external drive?

I am trying to copy files from my usb hard drive: K: to my network external drive Z:
I am trying to copy everything from one to another (files in folders and files that are not in folders)
I tried selecting all and then send to Z:, but it took about six hours to copy about 20 gig (I have about 180 gig to copy)
I read some where that robocopy is a faster and better way to copy files.The thing is I do not know what syntax to use. I was wondering if someone could tell me the syntax I should use to copy EVERYTHING from the usb driveK: to the network drive Z:

My old Windows XP PC died months ago (motherboard problems) and so I took out the hard drive (which still functions fine) and put it in my new PC, but I can't seem to copy any of my files in the My Documents folder from the old drive to my newer larger drive. I've had this drive in here for the last several months and have had no problems writing other files to this 'older' drive (250 gig Maxtor 16mb cache, 7,200RPM drive (btw it's only a year old), but when I try to copy files to another drive I get the following error message: "You'll need to provide administrator permission to copy to this file." This only happens with files that are in the My Documents folder. My current login has administrator rights, so I'm thinking some how this has something to do with this drive being from a different computer's installation of XP.

I am Using Vista Ultimate 64. I would like to tranfer my entire drive incuding all files and the Operating system From my current IDE HDD to a new SATA Drive of the sames size (500 Gig) I need the IDE Drive for an older computer ( The 40 Gig IBM Deathstar still functions great, but all programs seem more bloated these Days)
Anyway I went to Administrative Tools and Formated the New Drive NFTS with no Drive Letter. But I cannot get it recognized as a transfer device when I go to system backup. Can I use 'C' on the second and soon to be only drive? If I have to use E or F for now can I change it back later. would that affect the file system? I intend to Low level Format the IDE and try cloning the old machine's XP Drive (32 bit) to it in the second place.

I'm running Vista on a PC that has a hd that has been formated into 3 discrete drives.Vista is loaded onto the C drive, programmes are loaded onto the d drive while i have my data stored on my E drive. By default any documents I save are directed towards My Documents on the C drive - how I go about changing that so the default is my Documents on the E drive?

So I just got a new computer, a HP Pavilion running Vista, and I have a older hard drive that I want to copy data from. The hard drive came from a system running XP. It's a older hard drive, a Seagate 80 gig IDE connector hard drive, so I went out and bought a external hard drive device bay -- you just put the hard drive into it and then plug it into a USB port on my computer. If I plug it in, all that happens is every 10 seconds I get a pop up a message saying: "You need to format the disk in Drive J before you can use it. Do you want to format it?" Of course I don't want to format it, I'd lose the data I'm trying to copy! If I click cancel it just keeps bugging me about it and I can't access the HD.

I have a livensed version of Office 2007 Home and Student. I would like to burn a copy of the setup DVD to send to my son in an other town. Is that possible? And if so how?
I'd assume it to be legal as it can be installed on 3 computers.

Having a new PC with Vista Business edition, 2gb ram, dual core 2mhz, I connected to my wireless LAN & found that file copy / transfers were appallingly slow. So much so that I had to use an external usb drive.
The same process is of no problem on my WinXp & Win2k PC's.
Am I missing something? other than that I dont seem to have any other
performance issues
(I have checked updates)

as you can see by the headline, i am having trouble with copying files to my mp3 player. I have done a search on this forum and found that someone last year had the same problem, but the problem wasn't solved for that person, so i thought to start a new thread. My problem started a couple of days ago, up until then everything was fine, i could copy files to my mp3 player with no problems, sometimes i would've got the messge 'Are you sure you want to copy this file without it's properties?', i'd press yes and it would copy the files ok. But now the same message comes up, and it doesnt copy the properties. I actually tried playing my mp3 player and it crashes (restarts), until i remove the file that doesnt have the properties. I know my drive is supposed to support NTFS, my mp3 player is fat32 format and it did copy files for me up until a few days ago.

I have been using remote desktop to have access to our company server. I
work away from the office but access letters and other information from our
server. I usually copy and paste letters from remote desktop into my email
(been doing it for last 2 years) and send information to my clients. NOW no
go! I am terribly frustrated that I can't do this anymore as it has
extremely added time on to a schedule that can't afford to spend a lot of
time on this. Please ...... I need a fix for this problem before I huck my
computer out the window! PS this started last week. Months after I had
installed Windows Live (which I don't use anyway).

I need to install SR2 for Access 97 on Vista - Home Basic. While Access 97installs fine, there's a known problem installing SR2 on Vista. Theworkaround that I've come across involves temporarily replacing four Vistafonts (comic.ttf, comicbd.ttf, tahoma.ttf, and tahomabd.ttf) with thoseversions which come with SR2. This reportedly allows SR2 to be installed,after which the four Vista fonts are copied back to the Windows/Fontsfolder.
This procedure begins with copying those four Vista fonts to a temporaryfolder. I am unable to do this, however. If I use cntrl-c to copy andcntrl-v to paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. If I right-click on the font, the Copy command is not available. If I use Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste, nothing is pasted into the temporary folder. Vista will not allow full privileges for these fonts, even though I'm signed on as Administrator.

I have a laptop, which came with vista x86 home premium. However, the laptop didn't come with a copy of the OS. It came with an imaging program from which I made an image of the bloatware infested drive. That backup...is damaged. There is a legitimate home premium x86 license associated with the comp, but I do not have a way to reinstall my OS. What I read on a different forum, was that any copy of x86 home premium would do...But I need to download a copy of it to install. I'm not interested in a cracked version of the OS...just an ISO image of a legitimate copy of hp x86. I don't want to buy a new version of the OS...a nominal fee would be ok, but not a whole OEM edition.

I've recently upgraded one machine from XP Pro to Vista Business 32-bit, and the other is a brand new laptop with Vista Home Premium x64. Both exhibit the following problem. or is it just me? The setup: On media you can write protect (i.e., a flash drive) make a copy of mfc71.dll (usually found in Windowssystem32... other MFC DLLs seem to have the same effect but try this one if you have it). Now, remove the media, write-protect it and re-insert it. Attempt to copy that DLL from the media to your desktop (NOT in Windows or other highly protected areas). Attempt to read the properties page of the DLL as it sits on the media: doesn't work.
Can someone explain why one cannot copy or even read the properties of such DLLs? I can see if it's replacing something bad or such, but simple copying is disallowed if the DLL is on write-protected media. What's up with that? And how might one get that to work normally? I've never seen anything quite like it. Why does this matter? Because it causes MAJOR problems when comparing backup media that uses an emulation layer to emulate a drive (e.g., TrueCrypt). In the example above it just doesn't work. in something like TrueCrypt (within a write-protected volume) it locks Explorer up quite thoroughly, requiring a reboot. I presume that's a failure of TrueCrypt but still, what the heck is Vista doing here?

I have a Toshiba Satelite (T2400) A105-S4134 laptop with 1.99 GB of Ram and I have never been able to highlight photos and copy them to a cd. Media Center Edition 2002. My cd drive and dvd drive are the same. I have never made a dvd either. I can copy to my memory sticks just fine. I am wondering if I have to set up my cd drive before I can use it? I have been able to make music cds, just can't copy photos. I am working with windows XP system and I bought my computer in Nov 2006. This is my first post. I have never had trouble doing this function with any of my other desktop computers. And where do I find my vista specs? I just guessed what mine was, it was not under system properties in my Control Panel.

I know this is very basic, but I seem to have forgotten how to do it. I have never been able to copy and paste and address or anything because: when I select something I want to copy, then I click edit, or copy, or I click where I want to paste it, or I click anything else; it unselects what I have selected. So, if something is not selected you can't do anything with it, but if you click what you want to do with it- it is no longer selected??
