How can I add a computer vista laptop runningwindows to a homegroup in windows 7
I have a HP PC, the laptop and the laptop running Windows 7. Compaq laptop of my wife is running vista. I can add to Windows 7 homegroup, or is it easier to upgrade your computer to windows 7?
Vista can't join a homegroup, but it can network with Windows 7. Please see sharing files and printers with different versions of Windows for more details.

I have CC on my desk. How can I add it to my laptop?
I have CC on my desk. How can I add it to my laptop? My subscription covers both computers?
the great thing about cc is that you can disconnect from your other computers using your 3rd computer.
That is to say, when you try to connect to a 3rd computer cc app prompts you to disconnect from your other two. do it and you're able to use your 3rd computer. It's so easy and fast there is no significant advantage to avoid disconnection.
I can't even envisage a legal situation where you would like to more than one cc for any one user license. You can install on computers of upteen, but only be connected to, at most, two at a time.
and you can't use your programs cc on two different computers at any time. so I can't imagine a situation where more than 1 license would be useful.

How can I get my computer vista email to say "you have a message?
Its depends on your email program. If you are using software such as Microsoft Office Outlook e-mail, then when you have received a new email it will notify you.
For webamil, you could connect to your email address, and then drag the window and PIN to the taskbar to alert you to new e-mail.

How can I add another computer
How can I add to my subscription computer.
A subscription to creative cloud can be used on two computers, with a retail or upgrade license.
If you want more computers you MUST do one of the following:
(a) discontinue use on a single computer
(b) move to volume license
(c) buy a new subscription with (most important) a different Adobe ID.
You cannot add more machines to an existing license with the same Adobe ID. He will take your money, but it won't work.

Can't access my computer vista laptop to network!
I have a network home, defined as follows: Vista desktop connected to the Linksys WRT54G V2 router by ethernet. Windows 7 laptop connected through WIFI; Windows XP connected by WIFI. I'm trying to share desktop with other computers printer. I can access the files on two laptops in my office, but I can't access the desktop of a laptop. If I map network one laptop computers, he said that the office is there, but it won't let me access it. The map shows a switch between the Vista desktop and the routher which I do not know what it is. I followed all of the ideas that I can find to make sure that the permissions are correct. Anyone have any ideas?

Ensure that the file and printer sharing are allowed through the firewall.
Check that network Vista share options are correct:

How can I add memory to my laptop Pavilion DV4000?
I have a portable Pvilion DV4000 old enough. He got so slow that it is barely usable. When I look at the details of the system it tells me I have .99gb of memory.
I understand that I can have a max of 2 gigabytes. So here are my questions:
How will I know if the two slots are taken now with half gig each? If this is the case, then I would buy two planks of 1 GB. I know that the answer is simple, open it and watch, but I need to know where to look.
How can most of all, I find instructions for the installation of the memory. I did it on my desk several times, but never on a laptop.
Thank you very much
Welcome JB.
Yes, you can switch to 2 GB memory.
http://h10032.www1.HP.com/CTG/manual/c00481822.PDF
The memory is easy to access.
I suggest that do you a disk cleanup, and then defragment disk first.
Let us know if you need more information.

How can I add MUIs for my laptop?
Hello.
I have standard Windows Vista on my laptop and said I need to download an additional MUI in order to have the Japanese feature. Help Windows said I should see these MUIs in Windows Updates, but until there was nothing. I read on another answer you can have 1 MUI on some versions of Vista. If this is true, how to get to get the Japanese text on my machine? I should add that I won't change my entire operating system to the Japanese that I have barely begun to learn and become more confused if that happened.
Completely lost! Help, please.
Thank you.

I have the combo of photographer with LR and Psalm I got it for a year or two, but I've never updated my laptop to CC. Can someone tell me how to do?
You can have the creative cloud installed and signed in on two computers as long as you don't use it on one at a time.
Please install Adobe Creative Cloud here Office: creative cloud desktop application
Once installed, you can access the desktop creative cloud application by clicking on the icon creative cloud, located in the taskbar (Windows) or the Apple one piece (Mac OS) menu.
Then, you can use the desktop creative cloud app to install applications.

How can I add songs at the beginning of a selection (iTunes for Windows)
I saw this issue addressed in the iTunes for the Mac community, but solutions do not seem to apply to Windows for iTunes version.
I want to add to a playlist of songs, but add them at the beginning of the playlist (not the end, as is the current default). Of course I can drag the pieces at the beginning if I want, but is it possible to do it automatically?
New songs are added at the end of the list if you drop them on the name of the playlist. If the list is in a State of play and opens in front of you, then you could drag and drop songs into the first position of Windows Explorer or the Finder.

How can I add music downloads in my music library
Music downloads
Im not very computer so be patient. Ive downloaded music to MP3 how can I add it to my music library
If you use Windows Media Player as your music program, then simply copy the files in one of the folders that you configured WMP to monitor will be all you need to do. Alternatively, you can leave the files where they are and tell Windows Media Player to include this folder in the library.
