  • Want to access another computer on Windows 7 using Remote Desktop connection

    Dear member of the community,

    I have 2 desktops, one with 10 windows and more with windows 7. Now I want remote access to the computer windows 10 windows 7 without logging on the computer windows 10. Kindly, guide me for the same thing.

    Hello Alice,.

    I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

    The computers are connected to a domain network?

    Thank you for details on the issue.

    I also appreciate that fact that you want to access 10 Windows in Windows 7 remotely.

    With Remote Desktop connection, you can connect to a computer running Windows from another computer running Windows that is connected to the same network or to the Internet. For example, you can use all of the programs, files, and network resources from your computer on your computer at home, and it's just that you are sitting in front of your computer at work.

    To connect to a remote computer that computer must be turned on, it must have a network connection, Remote Desktop must be enabled and you must have access to the network to the remote computer (this could be through the Internet), and you must have permission to connect. To obtain permission to connect, you must be on the list of users. Before you start a connection, it's a good idea to search the name of the computer you are connecting to and to make sure that Remote Desktop connections are allowed through the firewall.

    I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.

  • Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    Upgrade/license transfer

    I have purchase Windows 7 business plan and upgrade my Vista Business retail version to Windows 7 Pro.  Can I use my copy of Vista Business upgrade retail a computer with Windows XP Pro?

    If you use the license professional Vista as the operating system with a Windows 7 Pro upgrade license then no, you can't continue with Business.

    If you use a copy of the licence of right (standard retail) Windows 7 Pro then Yes, you can reuse the company to upgrade XP.

    Upgrade license replaces the license qualify you for the upgrade license.  That's why the price is reduced from the price of a copy of the full license.  In this case, a license of Windows 7 Upgrade binding Vista Business license to the Windows 7 Pro license and operating permits would be free not to use it elsewhere.

    How install Windows 7 Pro has no importance.  If you use an installation upgrade or new installation method, what matters is the license of Windows 7, to level or standard (full).

    Buy a copy of the full license of Windows 7 Pro to do what you are suggesting.

  • I am adadministrator but I can not access my computer functions

    2 days ago, I think I've accidentally changed my security settings for my: C drive while checking my computer ( don't know if this is the real reason however). I am the administrator on the computer and there is no other users. whenever I connect it denies access to my characteristics.  on the accounts in the control panel it says that I am administrator but he always tells me that I need to contact my administrator when using functions as the uninstall programs and features.  I ran an avg full deep scan off my computer and his own come so I'm almost certain that this is not a virus.  I'm running Windows Vista Home premium and I've never experienced this before.  whenever I start the computer, it starts to fuck as usual and then I get loads of pop ups for example:

    -Google Installer has stopped working
    -Apple sync notifier "could not start because corefoundation.dll was not found (I've never heard of corefoundation.dll)"
    -browserprotect.exe has stopped working (and whenever I close the pop up back to the top again)
    -When I go to access some of my files and applications it says 'you have insufficient access, please contact the administrator '.
    -When I try to access to my: C drive, it says ' not accessible, access is denied. "
    -When I go to access the features a bit it says "the parameter is incorrect" (not sure what that means)
    I'm usually a computer wiz and use of high-quality software, command prompt and all that, but I have trouble understanding it, so don't you worry I will understand any technical language, thanks :)

    Hi Oliver,

    Exactly how you have changed the security settings for the C: drive?

    Problems to work on files and folders in Windows can be caused by permissions issues, or even corrupt corrupted user accounts.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you try the procedure described in the article and see if it helps.

    "Access denied" or other errors in the access to or work with files and folders in Windows
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/2623670#method4

    Method 2:
    If the problem is not resolved, I suggest you temporarily disable the security software and check if it helps.

    Disable the antivirus software
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.


    Method 3:
    If the problem persists, I suggest you try to run the system restore to point before that the problem began earlier and check if that helps.

    I installed an application under virtual pc and I use the application and generate files. I can't access the files with the windows Explorer 7 - and windows Explorer cannot find in a search. I know they are there but they are "virtual".

    Hello Jo,.

    Great news. Glad to hear your back in business. Don't forget to mark it as your response so that we can spread the knowledge more far.

    As for your question, the best answer is, 'with the application used to put the files on the CD. So if for example you use Explorer to copy the files on your CD player, you can use the function to copy even download them to your hard drive. If you used the Windows backup program to create the CD, and then use the backup program to restore the files to your PC.

    If you need more instructions than, post it here with the program you used to create the CD in the first place, and I'll help you.
