How to transfer files to vista for xp
I have a new laptop which has XP as OS and I want to transfer files from my Vista Home computer, how can I do this. The new book has no disk drive.
I also have a laptop another XP I want to transfer files to the new XP laptop, how can I do this?
Depending on the amount of data, use a USB key or the two computers on network. Or the other method will work for Vista--> XP and XP--> XP.
If you don't have a router, you can use a crossover cable to connect the two computers.

File/printer sharing Excellent, comprehensive, yet easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx for XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below). Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not. A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY. (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done in Control Panel System applet, the computer name tab create c. corresponding to the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista: set up Windows to automatically log (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm D. If one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab). E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing. F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response. -

Don't know much more instructions should be required for all Windows XP operating system or later during extraction of a standard ZIP file on a system that did not have installed third-party applications that might have taken the extraction/treatment of the BONE ZIP files.
Zip (compression) of files and folders
Right click on a file or a folder with many files it contains, point to send to, and then select the compressed file (zipped file).
Windows Vista will compress (zip) the file or folder and save the new file zipped in the same place as the original file.
Unzip (unzip) files and folders
You can unzip a file in several different ways.
Double-click the zipped file
To decompress a file, the easiest method is to double-click it. It will open a window with the contents of zipped files. You can click on extract all files or drag the files from the window to the desired location (example: office).
If you choose to click on extract all files, the files are extracts (uncompressed) in the same location as the original file, unless you specify a location in the Destination box, and extract the files that appears when you choose to extract them.
Right-click on the zipped file
Right click on the zip file and select extract all. The Select a Destination window will open and extract files and you can choose if you want to save the files in the same location as the original file, or you can choose where you want to save the unzipped files by clicking Browse and choose a new location.
Personally, I download, install and use 7-Zip for all needs in my compression/decompression (in general).

How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista
How to add programs to the start of the file using Vista
Hi Harry,.
Oddly enough, you can actually do it in msconfig except if it is already there and simply not checked as opposed to not being do not at all (although you would think that they would understand this option).
The easiest way is to add the program (or a shortcut to the program) in the folder all Menu Programs Startup. Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_5098465_add-startup-programs.html. Remember, to do this, you must either a shortcut existing (perhaps on the desktop or elsewhere in the menu all programs) or you need to find the source file (probably somewhere in C:\Program Files depending on what you want to add) and either copy it and add it to the startup folder or right-click on it and create a shortcut to copy into the startup folder. Once you reboot, this program starts during the initial commissioning process and you will now be able to control using msconfig.exe, if you wish.
Another option is to do this by using the registry editor. If you decide to try this, first create a restore AND system restoration point backup of the registry before you begin. Here is the procedure: http://www.ehow.com/how_7304438_add-program-msconfig-regedit.html. I recommend to use this ONLY if the previous procedure does not work for some reason any as long as that the procedure is simpler and safer.
If you want a simpler way to manage and control startup programs, you can try it free WinPatrol http://www.winpatrol.com/download.html that change monitors for startup programs if you set it to run in real-time so that you know when to try new programs are added to your Start menu and, for the purposes of this question includes an Add button which opens a link to a window of Windows Explorer where you can browse the program you want to add, click open to select and then add it directly to the commissioning. If you prefer it does not work all the time, you can simply uncheck the box which includes this program and it will work only when you choose to run (but at the start, will work as an indication otherwise or configured). It will appear not in the start menu in all programs (Finally, WinPatrol is, but not programs, it adds to the start), but it will appear in WinPatrol (which also lets you manage what you want or not start with checkboxes as in msconfig) and sure in msconfig - but only after a reboot is complete the process of adding.
I hope this helps. Personally, I use WinPatrol myself and let it run in real time. Since I do a lot of installations, it helped me often prevent the addition of a startup item I haven't really need and reduces how many times I actually need to check what is happening out there.
If this answers your question without the need to repost in another forum, please mark it as an answer. If this isn't the case, then of course you must republish as suggested above.
Good luck!

How to restore corrupted files windows vista system (audiosvc, audioendpointbuilder)
My audio service seems to be corrupted. When I start in safe mode and stop the sound service, then restart works fine. When I turn on the audio service then the computer crashes immediately.
How can I locate audio files windows vista 64 and re-install them.Hello
Make sure you have the latest audio drivers for vista for your computer which you can get your site of card manufacturers sound or computer
go to their website and look for a driver and software download section
Enter your model number for the last look drivers vista then download and install
also run the sfc/scannow command.
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833
Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
- Type the following command and press ENTER:sfc/scannow
The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions
If SFC detects the main problems it can't fix you may need to borrow a Microsoft dvd vista not an acer, HP etc. recovery disk and do a repair installation
read the below tutorial on how to perform a repair installation
