Windows 7 academic professional release allows homegroups
I have a copy of Windows 7 Professional loaded on my computer that I bought through my school. I try to add the computer to a home group created on another computer in my home that is currently running Windows 7 Home Premium. My computer sees it's a homegroup on the other computer, but is unable to reach. In addition, all computers on my network are seen by other computers in the network tab. Are academic versions disavow part of a homegroup?
There are many reports of the Homegroup is very flaky function.

DCOM error 1016 Windows XPx32
Several solutions, all virtually identical to this question:
Machine default permission settings grant Local Activation permission for the application server COM with the CLSID
{A4199E55-EBB9-49E5-AF1A-7A5408B2E206}
the user NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE SID (S-1-5-20). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.However, the error persists; Windows XP (SP3) refuses to allow the addition of "Network Service" as a user of the service DCOM. The question was supposed to be fixed in a service pack, patches, etc., but he persists. This despite the change permissions to allow that user permissions in HKCR | CLSID. {"clsid :} or HKLM\Software\Classes\AppID.

I just bought Windows 7.0 Professional (retail) and also have Windows XP Professional (also retail).
I realize there is an option 'XP Mode' 7.0, but what I would do is have the ability to access the OS. I build my own computers but I have never installed two operating systems and need some advice on partitions, boot etc. options. For example, is it possible that I can start in 7.0 and switch to XP without having to reboot?
I reached the minimum requirements (CPU = 2.9 GHz, RAM = 6 GB) and the drive I'll install is a 80 GB Sata.
Thanks for the suggestions, links, tutorials etc.

Hello
I have recently reinstalled the RC of windows 7 to windows 7 after its release, since the reader that I use to store most of my data etc won't let me download files to a folder on the disc, I get the message "are not allowed to save in this location, you want to save in the"Chocolate"instead... I have administrator rights and set permissions on all the folders for. me, I have watched many forums microsoft no, only to discover that I tried all the suggestions here :/Hello Marilyn,.
Sorry its taken if for a long time to get back to you, I almost forgot this thread, I found a 'solution', which means I just download the files every time windows I would and re - arrange them later... but I would rather sort... so to answer your questions...I'm developer/technician... and just on main computer, I always do a fresh install, then Yes, it was a clean install, I formatted the drive as the windows RC version 7 is installed and on the new Windos 7 instead.
The user account is the one that I created during installation... 'Chocolate' and has rights admin etc...
I have not tried to create a new administrator... but I don't think that's the question that I had some success with the player and did all my shortcuts 'user' (documents pictures videos music etc.) in folders on the same drive, well, the folder that I use for downloading and another which I use to store/organize applications install files or utilities etc doesn't let me download for them. I can copy do them things, create new files and folders, etc, but all this "permission administrator" needs to give in this case I just click ok...The clean boot is an idea... but what will really prove something that runs at windows startup is the cause? So what that it either from 60 to 100 processes running at the same time, that it sounds pretty useless in my opinion, so research will start for whoever it is :/
I thought just disable UAC all together, which could shed light on the issue... I don't mind given this security feature, I usually know what im doing and have a good knowledge of what should and shouldn't tbe running etc, often even catch the virus before my antivirus... Speaking of which, this problem occurred before that I have nothing installed on the machine, it is trying to download the latest drivers after the new installation that I first noticed the problem...
The only other thing I can think is, perhaps, when I set the permissions and or possession of the car it does not define correctly and windows always "think" I don't have permission?:
Look forward to your thoughts

Upgrade to Windows 8.1 Professional
I just ordered a XPS 15 Touch, which has 8.1 Windows 64 - bit English. I want to upgrade the machine to Windows 8.1 Professional 64 - bit English. I need to know how to upgrade proeprly. I have a few questions:
The upgrade is a safe thing to do?
Should I get the upgrade or get a Dell technician to do the upgrade? What do you recommend?
If I do upgrade myself and you are having problems, can I speak? Dell or Microsoft?
The upgrade affects my extended warranty?
The upgrade is fairly simple and fast, requiring only a reboot.
Click on start and type "anytime upgrade". What you need to do is enter your Pro license key, wait a few minutes, then restart.
It will NOT affect your warranty or existing data.

Why windows will ask permission to allow Skype to make changes to this computer?
Original title: open Skype with windows firewall 7.
When Skype (ver.5.2.60.113) try to open, windows 7 application firewall to allow Skype to make changes to this computer. All Windows Firewall settings are configured to allow Skype. I even made a new rule for "ProgramFiles (x 86) \Skype\Phone\Skype.exe" to be allowed in the inbound and outbound rules, but nothing helps. Is this a bug or a dark environment. I think it happened since Skype last updated.

Is there a Windows Media Player plugin which allows you to convert audio files from one type to another?
For example: conversion of a- file to a .mp3 file .m4a? Or a

or visa / versa for any of them?

Method 1:
Temporarily disable firewall and antivirus on each machine.http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

Satellite L650 - upgrade from Windows 7 Home Professional
Hello
I have the Satellite L650 - 15G with Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium edition. Due to some limitations of this OS, I want to upgrade to Windows 7 professional since I am in Dubai, WAU is not available for me. I called Microsoft and they said I have to get through retailers.
My query is, is it all Toshiba support available in the UNITED Arab Emirates, to upgrade the operating system? Toshiba allow the upgrade through the channel of the where I bought my laptop?
Microsoft is not good!
Hello
As much as I know there no support for Toshiba to upgrade the operating system. Only the preinstalled OS will be supported, and some models are available with different versions of Windows.
In any case, I think that Microsoft is right and you will need to purchase a Windows 7 upgrade disk. Using this disk, you can start the upgrade. This should be possible without new installation so that all programs and data will not be erased.

My HP Pavilion a6400f had problems years ago I installed Ubuntu Linux. Now, getting fed up with linux, I want Windows Vista back. I still have the OEM key. The HP recovery disk allows me to install WIndows?
The recovery set supplied with the computer should find the default computer. Probably will not even need to enter the key.
Don't forget to patch (probably manually) with SP1 and SP2 after you're done. Then download the updates (MUCH) released after that.
