Is a memory stick enough to transfer about 300 music files from Xp to a new machine using Vista?

The website says nothing about ability to use a cross-over cable. Do I need to buy an external hard drive?????

Is a memory stick enough to transfer about 300 music files from Xp to a new machine using Vista?product key

It depends on how large the memory stick is. You're better off burning them...

CDs hold 750MB of data.

DVD holds 4.7GB

You can burn your music to DVD it doesn't matter than the format is DVD. DVD holds more data than a CD and probably more than your memory stick.

Don't make it more complicated than it is.

Is a memory stick enough to transfer about 300 music files from Xp to a new machine using Vista?triumph

You can if you want too. But you can buy a 1 gig thumb drive or flash drive to move those files also or back them up on a CD-R/W etc..
that should be fine with a 2GB memory stick. That is how I did it.

I would avoid Vista like the plague. Remember Windows ME? Same problems - same BS hype. Stick with XP until MS works out all of the bugs (or gives us a better OS)
Why don't you just network the two computers? You should be able to easily determine how big your music folder is and what you'd need to transfer it. I use a storage drive for my vids photos and tunes.
Depends on how big the memory stick is, usually 300 songs can run from anywhere up from a minimal of 2 gigs. So you could easily burn them all to a disc them take them off the disc and put them on your new computer, or you can transfer say 100 songs at a time on the usb stick.

External hard drives are handy to have around but for you there is no need for it. A cross over cable is pretty much useless too unless you really want one.

if you have anymore questions i would be glad to help just send me an email

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?

Im planning to purchase the new HP DV6000 series notebook. However, the laptops only come with Windows Vista as an O/S which i do not want. It is possible for me to use my friend's hp laptop boot cd (which has windows xp) to install windows xp on to my new laptop?

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?software

No. The boot CD from your friend's laptop most likely has an OEM version of Windows XP on it. That means it's only licensed to be used on the machine that it came with. One way to tell is to look at the CD. If it says anything like "for distribution only with a new PC," then it's definitely an OEM version.

Whether it's OEM or not, using your friend's CD to install XP on your laptop would be pirating. Don't go there!

If you want to install XP on your new laptop that came with Vista, you're going to have to bite the bullet and shell out for a new retail copy of XP.

Installing Windows XP on a new HP laptop which comes with Vista?vincent

The only way to put XP on a Vista machine is by formatting the hard drive and installing a full verison of XP. XP cannot go on a the second dual boot b/c the newer verison has to be loaded last. Your friends CD will most likely not work b/c it will look for hardware that may not be installed on your computer.
It can't. The CD or DVD will not functioning by default. The manufacturer usually includes program to identify if that machine used to recover or install the OS...is the correct target.

Will microsoft update vista in the near future?

I'll tell you this. I absolutely hate windows vista. it looks a lot softer and nicer but it lacks a lot. will microsoft come out with some sort of software or upgrade to make your hardware(printer, graphics card, etc) and software(older games) with vista or is vista gonna suck forever? the reason i ask this question is because i need a new laptop and sooner or later i won't be able to choose the option of having xp on my computer. and installing xp is a hassle.

Will microsoft update vista in the near future?spyware removal

It's not up to Microsoft to release drivers for printers, graphics cards, modems, etc. They have been unfairly blamed in this. It's up to the manufacturer's to release drivers that work with Vista for their products. Many companies have been slack in this even though they have had the specs for Vista for years.

Backward compatibility for games would be good but it's unlikely. Microsoft will look to move forward and new software will be created to replace the old, just like new games will make you forget about the old ones.

Will microsoft update vista in the near future?virus protection software

The 1st patch SP1 is on the way...Or just wait til Windows 7 comes out.
you should've stuck with XP for at least another year... history repeats itself
I sure hope so, because I don't like this piece of CRAP!
OS X is way better than windows, but thats besides the point....anyway there will be a service pack 1 coming out next year for vista. until then good luck! and the sad news is there is a SP 3 for XP which is suppose to make XP run 10% faster while vista stays the same.
Vista SP1 is in select beta testing at present and is scheduled for full release in the late spring or early summer of 2008. Even then it would be avdisable to wait another couple of months after that to ensure it is stable and not full of bugs.

You can follow some of the more popular blogging sites that has news on the new features for Vista SP1. Here is one for your perusal.

Why is it when i shutdown my windows vista,it blacks out and displays a blue error screen,?stinger

In general terms the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) can be caused by many different problems and Windows has shut down in order to protect the system. Most BSOD problems are caused by installing new incompatible software or indeed new hardware that has an incorrect driver or somewhere something has become corrupt. In any event you might just be able to roll back your system to a good state before the problems started occurring:

Re-boot your system in Safe Mode: This can be achieved by continually pressing F8 during the boot sequence. You should now see an option to boot your system at the last good boot 鈥?select this and if it works give yourself a pat on the back.

Assuming the above failed it is possible that your boot sector or boot files on your hard drive have become corrupt. You can attempt a fix by booting from your 鈥楻ecovery鈥?CD and following the instructions for 鈥楻epair鈥?

If and when the repair has finished you will get the C: prompt. Now type chkdsk /r (NOT chkdsk/r but chkdsk space /r) and press return (enter). This means run a program called check disk and repair any faults found on the hard drive. Sorry but we have not yet finished because I am now going to assume that your Windows Loader file is corrupt and it is this that is causing your BSOD message.

Yes.

You can use MacFUSE to access Windows' disks in Mac OS. Read about it here:

http://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifehac...

The article says it's experimental, but at this time it's well past the beta stages and should be stable.

You can use MacDrive to go at it the other way (read Mac disks from Windows) You find that here:

http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdri...

MacDrive is not free.

MacFUSE is.

Alternatively you could format the Windows drive as FAT and not NTFS, but you'd be sacrificing functionality in the process.

OEM (Original Equipment Manafacturer) is provided from you Hardware vendor and may contain special drivers or software needed to install the OS on you computer. Normal or Vanilla version is the one provided from Microsoft and does not contain the additional drivers

What is the difference between the Windows OEM Vista and the normal Windows Vista?vista

The actual software on these disks is the same. The difference is that an OEM disk has some restrictions. It can only be loaded to one system. It can not be transfered to a second system if the first system crashes. And there is more. But, like I said, the functionality of the two is the same.

OEM applications are those that are built for folks who manufacture computers. They take the OEM app and add all of there advertising and what ever before installation.

If it is Vista home premium 32 Bit with Service pack 1 it will support upto 4 GB, else it will support upto 3 GB only.
I have it... Hate to say this... But the actual amount 3.5 GB for Vista Home Premium.

You can add 4 GB... But it will only recognize 3.5... then you have to minus what your OS will use and Graphics Card from the 3.5.

I recommend going with 3 GB... (1 GB x 2) %26 (512 MB x 2) If you have 4 memory slots.

The reason I say three... is memory must be installed in pairs.
* 32-bit versions of Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate: 4GB

* 32-bit Windows Vista Starter: 1GB

* 64-bit versions of Windows Vista Home Basic: 8GB

I think you can download themes that will make XP appear like Vista..
not legally, no... i suppose you could check on say limewire that kind of thing. honestly though I would wait to get it, if you get it at all. there's bound to be tons of bugs.
legally? for free? I doubt it, very highly, unless your computer came with a free upgrade. I mean yea, there's always limewire, but there's bound to be oodles of viruses and other bad stuff integrated into it
don't bother. vista is still incredibly buggy and insecure. either wait a year or two before you upgrade, or if you need a new OS now for free, try ubuntu linux. it is always free and legal, it is very stable, and there are loads of places on the internet to get help if you run in to any problems.
Vista is a commercial software product. Downloading it without paying for it is illegal. And even if you do, it won't help. Microsoft has gotten tired of hundreds of millions of criminals stealing their software, so Vista has some strong anti-piracy measures built in. When you install Vista, you have to connect to Microsoft's servers to activate it. Activation uses a unique code that can only be used for one computer. If you have an illegal copy of Vista, it won;t activate. In 30 days your computer will go into reduced functionality mode. It will remove all desktop icons and the start menu, and then it will start IE and take you to the Microsoft site where you can purchase a legal copy of the OS. If you don't, it will shut your computer down after one hour of use.

It'a a PITA for legit, honest users, but a bunch of bad apples spoiled it for everyone else.
Try limewire. I heard you can downlaod programs from there.

How come my pictures will not all load up when I use my SD slot in my new Windows Vista Computer?vista

Sounds like a memory problem. You have so much stuff running that it takes a forcing of cache to get enough space to display the pictures. Try turning off all the unneeded add ons that load at start and closing out a few programs that are running in the background. Might want to check the virtual memory settings (help menu will guide you) and do a disk cleanup and defrag through system tools. As a last resort, spend money and buy a memory upgrade.

Do not waste your time, System Restore is not to bring back deleted files like mp3 files, pictures or documents. It is intended to take a picture of your system (registry) mostly before you install programs that could end up affecting your OS performance.

It does not back up or restore user data.

Songs that you deleted are deleted, sorry.

How to restore windows vista back to February?antivirus download

If you mean using XP's "Restore points", you can't do it. The restore points are certain system settings and DLL files, not all the "user data".

If, on the other hand, you made an actual backup of your system to CD/DVD/Tape/External hard drive, AND you backed up the files in question, yes, you can restore. In that case, use what ever backup software you used to make the backup, it will give you the option to restore the files.

Is there much difference between windows vista and windows XP media centre?

I have windows XP media centre and I am trying to decide whether to upgrade to Vista or not. Does anyone have any ideas which is better?

Is there much difference between windows vista and windows XP media centre?hp

windows xp media center is a excellent os,i would certainly stay with mce for the next few years

mce is the only os i have not used,i know its just a improved version of windows xp,but the media center add on is a masterpeice,probally one of the best products microsoft have ever made

if you do have to upgarde in the future,avoid vista basic,as it dosent have media center built in and also dosent have the 3d aero desktop aswell.go for either vista premium or vista ultimate,both come with aero 3d and media center

good luck

Is there much difference between windows vista and windows XP media centre?mcaffee

i would stay with xp. vista looks very nice and has some nice touches but you seem to need double of every thing to do the same job IE a fast processor and much more memory. so if you upgrade it's going to cost a lot more. it's properly cheaper to buy a new computer with vista already installed.
I use vista home premium, I think it's the best OS yet, clean design, uses DX10, flip 3D, but that's only true on high end computers with recent components, you will end up with a ton of bugs with anything mid range or lower.
Do not get vista, It looks all nice and shiney but it is still a prototype and hardly supports anything, like programs, games, apps, etc...

How does an administrator make someone else an administrator on a windows vista computer?

The general answer is by giving full adminstrator equivalent rights to the person's ID on the machine. It is not possible to have two "administrators" nor to eliminate the primary administrator. This applies to all machines with multiuser access. On Vista, you will probably as adminstrator go in to the user management section. Since I expect to avoid Vista as long as possible, that is as far as I can go. In XP, it is on Control Panel, User Accounts.

Has anyone installed vista onto a newer Imac?

My wife wants to install Vista onto her Leopard OS Mac. The Vista CD she wants to use is the OS reinstall disc included with a Gateway i just bought. Any thoughts of this working?

Has anyone installed vista onto a newer Imac?internet security 2006

the vista disc that came with the pc will not work. you will need to get a full copy of vista. i have vista on my macbook pro. i only use vista on my mac for playing games on the go.

Has anyone installed vista onto a newer Imac?microsoft

no first you should "Bootcamp" it

google Bootcamp and it'll tell you what to do

http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/boo...
No,

Not A Good Idea!!!! Not everything will work. And the drivers you need will not work with Windows. Mac has its own installer that Windows does not have! ALso you might not even be able to install Vista. The installer might not be reconized unless its for Mac. Which there is not such. Just get bootcamp. And enjoy the feeling of XP. ANd you will have to Genuine, and Validate it which costs money for a code that expires in like a month. Its around the price 150 usd. Not worth it.

How do I disable the Vista feature that asks my permission before every little thing it does?

UAC? If so, link is below.

How do I disable the Vista feature that asks my permission before every little thing it does?internet

You probably should start by disabling the parental controls in your computer. Unless you are not the administrator on the computer. Then you are going to have to ask that person to adjust them or turn them off for you.

Note: Disabling UAC will lead to a less secure system, so be warned.

Open up Control Panel, and type in "UAC" into the search box. You'll see a link for "Turn User Account Control (UAC) on or off":

On the next screen you should uncheck the box for "Use User Account Control (UAC)", and then click on the OK button.

You'll need to reboot your computer before the changes take effect, but you should be all done with annoying prompts.

I have 1990 plymouth colt vista. It doesnt want to start and when it does it shuts off when i come t

I thought i needed a tuneup. got one. it didnt help. mechanic said it was the timing. got it didnt help. what else could be the problem

I have 1990 plymouth colt vista. It doesnt want to start and when it does it shuts off when i come to a stop?kawasaki

Have the battery checked and check battery connections. It sounds like your fuel pump could be acting up. They can operate just good enough for your engine to run but won't deliver enough fuel to work under loaded conditions. Also check the throttle plate to see if it is closing 100% of the time, you can work it by hand.

Good Luck

I had a Colt E that did something similar. It started ok but it needed to have gas going in at all times, except in neutral. It began after I had gotten a jumpstart when I left the headlights on. Nobody could figure it out but it went away by itself after about a year. It wasted a lot of gas.
Gas flow problem.
Try some fuel additive to clean the ejectors.

Can I use Vista and XP at the same time?

I just bought a notebook with Vista Ultimate, but my desktop has XP. I do not want to spend a load of money to upgrade my desktop to Vista, but still want to use it. Is there a way to link both using just my notebook?

Can I use Vista and XP at the same time?ktm

you just install both and then when your laptop is booting up, it gives you a list of operating systems to choose from, so you choose which one you want each time

here's the link that tells you exactly how to do it

Can I use Vista and XP at the same time?nortan

you can install two os in your laptop, one for xp and one for vista so when you switch on your laptop you can choose which to load
If by linking both you mean having the ability to transfer files, you can network your notebook and your pc together so you can access your files on your desktop.
You don't need to upgrade your desktop. They are fairly compatible :\
just use an ethernet connection to both computer. you will need to set the ip address manually in both also make corresponding firewall ports open.

easy way install VNC software.

I had a similar problem like this when I first got my sony vaio laptop. The way I solved this problem was I opened the volume controls and manually adjusted the sound until I was happy with the sound output. If the problems persist seek advice from the place you got the computer from and tell them the problems your having with the sound.

Should i register for the Windows Vista upgrade?

I don't see what's so great about it, and I read an article that says that once you install it you really can't take it off. Should i get it or not?

Should i register for the Windows Vista upgrade?network security

Im running a trial of Vista Ultimate and I have really had no issue with it. Granted the layout is quite different kind of like being used to Win98 and then going to WinXP. Im pretty well used to it now and I will more than likely purchase a permenant key for it. I, personally, would recommend it but I also suggest you make sure your system and software will be 100% compatible.

Should i register for the Windows Vista upgrade?norton internet security

That article was full of sh!t.. With any OS you can wipe them clean within 10 mins.. If it is a free upgrade, then why not? I would suggest you wait to really upgrade though, until some of the bugs are fixed. UNLESS, you have two seperate hard drives. If you have 2 HDD's mirror your first drive to the second, and run the upgrade on the mirror'd drive. This way you can dual boot between the 2 OS's..
yes it is good

Ask for a refund. ;)
Sell them on EBay.

It would represent your frustrations and anger with it. I feel your pain.
If your copy of Vista came with the purchase of a new computer, that copy of Vista may only be legally used on that machine, forever. So, check with the microsoft helpdesk............

If you bought Vista in a retail store and installed it on a machine you already owned, you have to completely delete it on that machine before you can install it on another machine. So u can contact the retailer itself......

Bundle it with XP then sell it as "Vista plus upgrade disk."
