  I have Windows XP Home Edition SP3, 32-bit and IE8.  Do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?

  The upgrade to Windows 7 is a personal decision.  Chances are that if you can do what you need to do on Windows XP then it is 'useless' to upgrade.  If you plan the upgrade anyway, you should first check to see that your hardware is supported under Windows 7.  To do this, Microsoft has provided a program of "Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor" to run on your current computer.

  Remote Desktop connection is not available in Vista Home: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/turn-on-remote-desktop-in-windows-vista/.

  I need more info on how your network is configured to answer the question on the other.  How is the computer connected to the internet?  It connects wireless or cable to the router or modem or through ICS from another computer or what?  How do you change between the sharing of internet connection currently?  What happens when you try to enable both connections at the same time (or do not have two connections)?

  Thank you.  The answers above, I can be able to understand the problem, because right now I really don't know how you setup and I need as much information as you can provide about it.

  Good luck!

  Open the address book in the old identity and file | Export | Address book (wab) to any location on your HARD drive that is easy for you. The office is very well. Then drag that to the flash drive.

  In IE: File | Import and export | Export to a file. Check Favorites | Next | Next | Navigate to a folder or the desktop and export. Drag the folder in the flash player.

  For photos, just right-click on the folder and drag it to the USB and copy here.

• I have Windows XP Home Edition w/service pack 3. Windows Media Player will play CD but won't play DVD. What I can do. I am a beginner on the computer.

  I need help for fixing Windows Media Player in Windows XP Home Edition. Plays CD but will not play a dvd. I had my computer cleaned by a computer company of fix - it about a year ago, and they have installed service pack 3. I tried the free VLC Player and it would not work.

  FWIW... Win XP cannot natively recognize Commercial
  DVD video... it requires a DVD decoder.

  You can buy a DVD decoder at the following link:

  (FWIW... it's always a good idea to create a system)
  Restore point before installing software or updates)

  Info about DVD decoders:
  Plug-ins for Windows Media Player
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/downloads/Windows-Media-Player/plug-ins

  Or you can download and use one of the following freeware
  media players:

  * Do not know why you dislike VLC... most users find it excellent *.

  VLC Media Player

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Media Player Classic Home Cinema

  (works on XP/Vista/7)

  Or... you can try to download and install one of the
  Following codec packs.

  (FWIW... it is always preferable, if you create a system restore
  point before installing any software or updates).

  * Proceed at your own risk *.

  (1) K-Lite Codec Pack (full)

• I have Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional on my computer. I would like to delete the XP Home.

  I have Windows XP Home and XP Professional on my computer at home. It creates a nuisance for me and almost every time I restart the computer I need to boot from the CD of XP Professional. I would like to reformat the drive and install only XP Professional only. How do I do that?

  I have already backed up some files I have so I have nothing to lose except the two BONES being problematic nuisance

  You will need the installation CD. Insert the CD in the drive. Turn on the computer and look at the bottom or top for orders of F. If you have an order for the Boot Manager (usually F12) then keep hitting at the time wherever you turn on the computer. Select the option of CD drive to boot from the CD.

  Note: If you do not have a Boot Manager option then you will need to go into your BIOS, sometimes called Setup (key F2 usually). You can get the boot option and change the boot priority. You do not want to move the CD player to the first on this list. Save and restart.

  Follow the instructions and when you get to the screen that talks about partitioning, remove the partitions selected with the D key (it will erase all data on a disk (s)). Format using NTFS on the screen following and all simply continue with the installation after that.

• I have Windows XP Home Edition. How can I find out what model of motherboard, I have installed in my computer?

  I have Windows XP Home in my computer, but I want to buy a DVD - RW to burn music. Before buy you, I need to know if it is compatible with my motherboard, but I have no idea how to collect information on the motherboard on my computer. Any help?

  Hello

  Assuming that you have a desktop computer, the easiest is to take the side off the pc and read the inscriptions on the motherboard.

  If you have a laptop then the way the easiest, if they publish, is to go to the manufacturer's Web site or your manual could tell you.

  All this is probably irrelevant because in 10 years of PC building I've never met an internal optical drive which was not compatible. External references could be something else, but as I met usb drives that prevent the start PC, the solution would be to plug in usb after booting.

  What you need to consider if you want to burn music is the burning program. Most optical retail drives come with a "light version" of the burning software. For best results you should consider a comprehensive program of recommended.

  Please mark this as useful or response if applicable.

  Looks like the video camera (Sony trv608) is not compatible with windows vista, see the Sony link below:

  http://eSupport.Sony.com/us/Perl/SWU-download.pl?upd_id=1452&MDL=CCDTRV608

  () Vista drivers are not available)

  You try to install the software that came with the device in windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode. See the link below:

  Run the program compatibility Wizard

  1. open the program compatibility Wizard the by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, click programs, and then clicking on use an older program with this version of Windows.

  2. follow the directions in the wizard.

  For more information, see the link below:

  You the best solution would be to check with Sony to learn more.
