I have desktop computer that has a printer plugged into it. The desktop runs Windows XP. I also have a Laptop that runs Windows Vista. I have a wireless router connected to the desktop so I can connect my Laptop to the internet, but can I wirelessly print things off my Laptop? My husband uses the desktop for school and I use the Laptop for work and I’d rather not have to keep switching the plugs around.

I have a Gateway Laptop and it came with Windows Vista on it, I had to reinstall it because of an issue with the Laptop. I used the disk that came with it and reinstalled everything but now the wireless is not working. It worked before but now it seems the disk did not reinstall the driver I need. Anyone know where I can download this? I went to Microsoft and it downloaded 75 updates none of which fixed the wireless issue.
Any help is appreciated – Thanks!




How do I stop Windows Vista from automatic finding a driver for a device such as a new device?

I have a Winfast PVR2000 PCI card that I try to plug it into my computer. Once I set the card inside the computer, I turn the computer and Windows automatic find the drivers for it. The problem is I don’t want it to install a driver. In XP you get to chose whether or not to allow Windows to try to look up a driver and install it automatically. Is there a way to stop it from search and install.
I tried:
-Right Click the icon and no additional menu pop up to stop it.
-Open the status of the installation, no other option beside “Hide” the window.
Conclusion: Any idea where can change the settings of automatic search and install driver.

I do not have a serial port on my PC; only a USB port. I need to buy a USB-to-RS232 cable to connect a modem. Will the cable work without driver software in Windows Vista?

I have windows vista and I am trying to install an older version of xp which is 2002 but for some reason it says “Setup cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is newer than the version on the CD.

Warning: If you decide to delete the newer version of Windows that is currently installed on your computer, the files and settings cannot be recovered.”

but there is nothing that says continue ,or to proceed with the action that i have chosen, so what do i do?

computer upgrade


I have heard that in Windows Vista (32bit) it doenst really do any good to upgrade from 2 to 4 gigs of RAM. There is no performance gain and Vista can only recognize up to 3.25 gigs. Are there any knowledgable computer users out there to help me clarify this?

I had an old computer recently replacd by Vista. Once, an updated video driver from Microsoft’s automatic updates nearly killed that system. Is it OK to use Windows Vista’s driver updates, or should I go to each website and double-check?
