I have two Laptops. Laptop A is my home Laptop that is in some Home workspace. Another Laptop B is my work Laptop that is my corporate domain. When I bring Laptop B to home – there is no domain controller. So when I’m trying to access B from A it says that you can’t do that since there is no domain controller. I just want to share a printer that is connected to B. Is there a way to still doing that?

I recently upgraded my computer from a windows xp to a windows 7 and I had to do a custom install which erased everything, now I only have the option of color up to 16 bits though previously I had 32 . Would just a better graphics driver help or maybe a BIOS flash I don’t know. How do I make my color at least 32 bit again?

“Setup cannot continue because one or more of the required installation files are missing or damaged. Run setup again from the software CD-ROM or another reliable installation source.

It’s a regular xbox 360 controller, and I do not have a cd-rom for it. I also tried using XBCD and googled this problem for a while now, so if anyone can help me out (i’m trying to use it for project 64) then it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)
