installation of a CD from another PC

I bought a new laptop that lacks a built-in optical drive. Is it possible to connect my old laptop (which has an optical drive) to my new and install an old game CD on my new computer? Basically, is it possible to recognize the optical drive of my old, for the purpose of installing programs for windows on my new laptop?

Thank you

This can be done.  You need just two computers on the same network.  Then, share the disk, so it is accessible on the network.

I was going to type the steps, but looks like a good tutorial is already available here:

  • Installation OTA / app from another provider

    I am experiencing very strange behaviour when I want to install my application via appworld and a 'special' from another provider app already installed and visa versa.

    On OS7 devices these two applications can be installed at the same time.

    If an application is already installed another app it is preponderant.

    Appworld still wondering whether to replace the old/other version.

    But there is no older/other versions it is a different application!

    I can tell versions its show me.

    Doesent matter if I click Yes or no the already installed application is replaced by the soft, I tried to install.

    But his past just on OS7 devices. On older devices, it works like a charm!

    This is expected if both applications used the same library and both are using it as a shared library.

    In this case, when you install an application, the library of the other application is overwritten.  The application itself should remain.

    You can avoid this by using a bundled library.  Learn more about this here: working with libraries - shared, packed, releasing and using 3rd Party software development kits

  • Homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using the homegroup.

    Group residential slow and other problems with it

    Hello!

    I have 3 Windows 7 PC-s (office #1, #2 desktop and laptop). I created HomeGroup and join all computers, so I can access the files on each of them. But my problem is the following: homegroup is very slow. Loading files from another computer is very long and I can't watch movies on the wireless using homegroup, because it is slow and every two seconds of loading film. And also needed a few minutes to open the pictures (more than 10 GB in all folders) to a folder in the other PC. Why is this work so slow? I don't think there is a problem with slow wireless router, because I can replace my old Linksys WRT54GL Linksys E4200, which is able to transfer video HD 3D such as Linksys provide. What should I do to fix this? Should I change all the settings in Windows, perhaps in the router...?
    And why my laptop is not always visible to the other PC to homegroup? He see two others and two other sees, but they are not portable. This happens sometimes. But then I still share with homegroup libraries to my laptop and there still other computers see it and all shared libraries. Where is the problem? I also try to change the HomeGroup services automatically, but this does not solve the problem.
    If I forgot something to write, or you need more information, do not hesitate to ask.
    I'd appreciate any help really.

    Hello

    Manually check manufacturers sites WiFi because pilots offered through
    Updates Windows will most often not be later (MS is far behind certifying)
    drivers and many manufacturers do not quickly submit newer versions or not at all). See
    Manual driver update of the methods below.

    The question could be WiFi in fact however try to device (hardware)
    update the driver first.

    What antivirus/security is used? Some of those who will cause problems with the
    Homegroup. Since it happens more often on a single computer that on there
    a check.

    From this link:

    Homegroup: frequently asked questions (also shows how delete and remove homegroup)
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/HomeGroup-frequently-asked-questions

    "Only people who belong to the homegroup can see shared libraries. You can also share libraries or files and individual folders with specific people in your homegroup, rather than share them with everyone. For more information, see libraries with your homegroup sharing and keep files and folders to be shared with a specific residential group. »

    Share files with anyone
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/share-files-with-someone

    ==================

    How to upgrade manually the drivers:

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using the methods
    below is preferred so that the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system and device manufacturers are
    found)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    Download - SAVE - go where you put it - right click – RUN AS ADMIN.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version.
    (Those become your fonts of rescue system manufacturer).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as windows
    7 love the updated drivers.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to uninstall creative cloud remotely from another computer?

    I'm subscribed to creative cloud. Stupidly, I greeted a friend using my 2nd installation on his computer. We no longer have any form of contact and cannot communicate either. I want to remove the installation of his computer, but do not have access to him or to his computer. Is there another way to uninstall my software for his computer remotely? A way to disconnect from my Adobe account and thus put an end to licensing on his computer?

    Would this work if I changed my password, because it cannot either the new password? Or who would not return the 2nd free installation on my account?

    Do you know account you violated license agreement, you have by letting someone else use your account/license?

    No one can uninstall something from someone from another machine remotely outside planting a virus on it... probably violating some law somewhere.

    You can try to call the Adobe customer directly and see if they have a way to disable access to your license.  It's something that I don't know if it is possible, however.
