Mount a floppy using Vista Home Premium via a usb connection.

I have upgraded from Win 95 to Vista Home Premium and I have a lot of players that have been compressed using Win 95, which I can't access like the Vista must be mounted. They can be mounted on the old system because it will not start. Is it possible that they can be mounted or accessible via Vista? Thank you very much.

Buy a USB floppy drive. If you will be able to decompress, I can't say. It depends on what you mean by "compressed". MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    I use Vista Home Premium on a laptop Dell 1545 Inspiron and Dell 968AIO wireless printer. I can't print the attachments of email but I can print several pages on the internet. I updated drivers and tried everything that other people have told me to try on other forums to the best of my abilities. I'm not otherwise qualified in computer science. Also, I will mention this all started when I restored my computer laptop back to factory settings. I did it because that's all I could think about. As far as coming back on my laptop, he did do the trick. Thus, suggestions, thoughts will be appreciated.

    Hi Winchesterdream,

    Welcome to the Microsoft answers community site.

    I suggest you try the following steps

    Step 1: Connect the keyboard to a different computer. If the keyboard works correctly on another computer, the port to which the keyboard was connected on the original computer may be damaged. If this is the case, contact your computer manufacturer to find out how to repair or replace the damaged port.

    Step 2: Download and install the latest keyboard software

    To download the latest drivers for the keyboard that you use, see the following Microsoft hardware Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=MK

    Step 3: Press the SHIFT key to turn five times keys Stick On or Off and check if the problem persists.

    Let me know if it works. Good luck!

    Hope it will be useful.

  • Re use Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc

    Hello

    I bought and Vista Home Premium Upgrade disc and upgraded to Windows XP.  Unfortunately my PC has not enough graphics to run Aero and DVD Maker (915 chipset), and I had tried unsuccessfully to introduce a new videocard (power problem).  So I gave up with this PC and will probably go back to XP or get a copy of Vista Home Basic which will be OK on this PC.

    I did the clean installation thing with the upgrade disk if my old XP system is not affected and can be restored without problem.

    My question is:

    If I buy a latest PC who has the necessary graphics to run the Home Premium edition, can I re reuse the upgrade disc, or the activation process will fail because of "improved" after having already.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi Evereti,

    You can try installing upgrade of Windows Vista on another PC as if you removed completely from Windows Vista to Windows XP PC. You will not be able to use the same copy on two different computers at the same time. It will affect the Product Activation.

  • Formatting hard drive using Vista Home Premium

    I am a 1.5 TB hard drive formatting and it seems to be suspended at around 73% is - this normal and how many hours must this process normally take. I had to cancel the formatting process, once for lack of time, but he had run for about 12 hours. There was a quick format option, but I decided not to take this option. Still, the process seems running and says in disk management that the hard drive is formatted. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Pendockman,

    Most users use the quick format option. 1.5 TB of hard disk is a lot of space for formatting. It also depends on whether the player is connected or connected via USB internally. USB, of course, will be the slowest. A quick Google, I saw 1.5 hours for well over 12 hours. If fully shaped many users start the process in the night and then go to bed and hope that the process is complete the next morning.

    If it is a new drive, then it would have been formatted by the manufacturer.

    Unfortunately, you have only two options. 1 / a quick format or 2 / launch a full format and just leave until she finishes.

  • CORRUPT IMAGES USING VISTA HOME PREMIUM

    Why is corruption of J ankles always a problem in windows 7? and the custom of whay Microsoft recognize that there is a problem?
    I've read about it all over the internet and had it happen to me. If you want to reproduce the problem, use a pc using windows vista (and I don't think it matters which version you are using) an AMD processor and an invidia video card.

    Hi fitter562,

    Please provide the following information, in order to better understand the issue:

    (a) what exactly happens when you view photos? How do you know that the pictures are corrupt?

    (b) what software or applications do you use to see all the photos?

    Try to display the same image using Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, you encounter the same problem?

    Note: Microsoft Paint and Microsoft Windows Picture and Fax Viewer do not color profiles to manage the parameters of color for the images.

    When you view an image in the photo gallery Windows on a Windows Vista-based computer, the image and the background of the image are yellow.

    This problem can occur because an incorrect color profile is used for the monitor in the color management device. When the Windows Photo Gallery uses the incorrect color profile to manage the parameters of color for the images, you experience the problem this question.

    When you view an image in the photo gallery Windows on a Windows Vista-based computer, the image is yellow
