setup issues

Good afternoon, I am currently using Windows 7 X64. My wife recently purchased me an Xbox 360 Elite for my birthday, but I am having some problems setting it up as a media extender. (to put it mildly) When I go into Windows Media Centre I can immediately see the Xbox with an option to...

Good morning, I have been unsucessful in installing Win7 on my Acer 6930 laptop currently running Vista. I did have sucess on my desktop machine that had XP on it, with a few driver download issues. On the Acer I have tried a upgrade install and a clean install. After the DVD boots, I get the...

Wow I am so frustrated right now I cant remember the last time I was so frustrated! I have installed two fresh installations of 7264 x64 on two desktops. They are connected to a private network. I want to share the hard drives in both of them (say, C/: and D:/ )but I was running into all kinds...

I have been trying to get Windows 7 RC1 up and running on my my rig but have been met with a black screen the very first time the system attempts to boot into windows, but before the setup is officially complete (meaning i can't get into safe mode at all). I have installed onto a clean hard...

I'm currently trying to dual boot Win XP 32bit, and Win7 64bit. I have separate partitions on one HDD for each of the OS and I currently have XP pro installed without any problems. i've burned the Win7 ISO at x4 speed to ensure I get a good clean copy and I've booted from the DVD and stared...

my windows 7 is on a work laptop. It connects at work through a domain instead workgroup or homegroup at least this is my interpretation of a domain. AT home I run xp pro and I have tried to setup a network with bad results. If I install a dual boot with windows 7 at home, I will then be able...

So when I boot to the 32bit (or 64bit for that matter) It always gets to the setup welcome screen I take it but all I see is the background and it just sits there. Ive burned 5 different dvd's of the 32 and 64 bit versions and they all do the same thing. Ive unplugged everything so only the...

Folks, I have a Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1600 TV tuner. For some reason I can't see live TV on Media Center. It was giving me an error like about PlayReady and I installed PlayReady 1.0 and then 1.2. What it does is, it hangs when downloading TV setup data, guide info etc. The progress bar moves only...

I have build 7000 installed and cannot get it to share files with any of my other computers running Vista. I can see both in the network tab but if I try to access it from my Vista machine it says" Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer." The...

I have tried several times to install windows vista with no success. The machine I'm running has an nVidia nForce 430 motherboard which has a 6150 graphics chip, 768MB on RAM, 80GB HDD and an AMD Sempron 3200+. This is not the best PC ever, but according to Microsoft, powerful enough to run...
