BIOS Compatibility between WinXP Pro and Vista Home Premium

I want to install WinXP Pro on my pc. I have a Desktop 3000 J115, Model 7387-A11 and it came with Vista Home Premium. I want to make sure that the BIOS can support either OS. If it cannot, I would like to know how to get the correct BIOS. I realize that there may be a few BIOS settings that are different between the OS's.
Thanks

This is not a right forum to post this problem. You should post it in Database General Forum.
I've Windows Vista Home Edition 32 bit.
In my laptop it is running but screen resolution changes to basic colour. Due to this, some graphical distortion occurs in few places. Also, refresh in the query grid needs to be perform when you are scrolling SQL Developer data from top to bottom or vice versa.

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via wifi

How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via home wifi.

~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
Yes, big time. Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed." That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't. Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
Or to other places I'm not aware of?
Probably. If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions.
But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
Just as you do now. By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions. By default, it excludes external drives.
You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
Good. Yes, clones are different. You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions. But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

Developer 6i and Vista Home Premium

Mac Book Boot camp and Vista Home Premium - will it run ok?

I have the latest black Mac Book with 2GB of ram installed. Will this allow Boot Camp to run Vista Home Premium ok? Or should I go for Parallels instead?

I run the exact same system. The Vista performance test scores are as follows:
Processor 5.1
Memory 4.6
Graphics 3.3
Gaming Graphics 3.1
Primary Hard Disk 4.8
Obviously this is not a system for really high end gaming, but the average user will be very pleased with the performance. Do not forget that you can use a flash memory USB device with ReadyBoost to get a little bump in these numbers.
I could not be happier with how Vista Home Premium runs on my Macbook. It takes 3X the time to start up as Mac OS X.

Cool stuff to do between Macbook Pro and Vista?

Anybody know any cool things you can do between MBP and Vista?
i can already screen share with YuuGuu and access my PC's C Drive, anything else?

You should be able to do anything you can do if you were running Vista on any other PC.

Compatibility between macbook pro and an external monitor

hi, i have a macbook pro retina 15'', with intel iris pro graphics 5200 and windows 8.1 .
i try to install an external monitor (http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpindex.pl?slg=en&scy=pl&ctn=17S4SB/00) with mdp - vga adapter but the resolution it is very bad and it is impossible to calibrate.
i install the driver of the monitor and the new driver of intel iris, i try every resolution but in the external monitor also 1680x1240 it's too big.
instead with os x, also 1280x1024 (recommended resolution), can be seen perfectly.
help me I'm going crazy. thanks

Then I would try connecting your display in the off state and then turn it on once your MBP is sleeping. It's possible the MBP, or display in fact, is getting confused.
Also, always be sure your MBP has actually made into sleep by the pusating sleep indicator light. If it isn't pulsating it isn't sleeping.

Yeah - using Flash 24/7 and the fact that it always has run

I run FF18 on XP Pro and Win7 Home premium machines,Win7 toolbar appears to have updated from 17, XP toolbar why?

XP SP3 toolbar retains the symbol in Home and Back areas, Win7 now has the words instead. Other areas seem to do the same. Both work properly. Another problem which may be relevant is that the appearance of my ISP website front page on XP has not been updated when the ISP recently did so, Win 7 is up to date. It all looks like XP stuff is stuck in the past for some reason but works OK. There have been issues with XP but not this one.

You can check the toolbar setting in the customize window (Icons, Text, Icons and Text).
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout
You may have to click the Restore Default Set button in the Customize window.

Wrk54g and Vista Home Premium 64 bit

Hi, I recently bought a HP Pavillion dv7 laptop. I had extreme difficulty with the wireless card in it and my router. It would not allow me browse the internet even though it showed connected. I finallly was convinced that it was the wireless adapter so I returned the computer and they sent a new one.
Now I'm running into much the same thing so I'm not sure it is the computer. Almost every bootup I will get the two computers in the tray showing that it found my network....many times though it doesn't have the globe giving me internet access. I have to almost continuously unplug my router from the wall and let it aquire an IP and then reset my network adapter on the laptop before it will work. In the Network and Sharing center I will get identifying network and it won't until I do the above resets. Other times it will be unidentifed Network.
I have upgraded the firmware of the router to the latest update. I never had this many problems with my sony viao running xp. Is this an issue with Vista or do I need a different router?(going bad?) I'm only about 40-50 feet from the router in my living room and it is just frustrating it won't work like it should.
thanks for any help you can be.
Mike

After a firmware upgrade, you must reset the router to factory defaults, then setup the router again from scratch. If you have not done this since your last firmware upgrade, please do this now and see if it corrects your problem. If you saved a router configuration file, DO NOT use it...
To reset your router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
Once the router is configured adjust it's wireless settings...
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...
Leave username blank & in password use admin in lower case...
For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
Click on the Wireless tab
-Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
-Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
- Set the Wireless channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
For Wireless Security : -
Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
Change the Wireless security mode to WEP, Encryption should be 64 bits.Leave the passphrase blank, don't type in anything...
Under WEP Key 1 type in any 10 numbers please(numbers only and no letters eg: your 10 digit phone number) and click on save settings...
Please make a note of WEP Key 1 as this is the Security Key for the Wireless Network...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now on your Laptop create a manual wireless profile to connect to your Wireless Network...
Click on Start then click Control Panel.
Click on Network and Sharing Centre.
Click on Manage Wireless Networks, then, remove all the Networks present in the list(right click and select remove network)...
Click on the Add button.
Click on Manually create a Network Profile.
Enter your Network Name(SSID), Security Type, Encryption Type, Security Key/Passphrase and check the box that says " Start this connection Automatically " , click Next...
It should say successfully added to your Network...
Close the window and it should connect...

Live Update 3 will fail on Windows Vista Home Premium

Hi,
I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with BIOS 1.0, in a Windows Vista Home Premium system
I have downloaded Live Update 3 and tried to run it. I get various error messages one after another: "driver not valid", "Flash_MMIO_MAP DeviceIoControl error", etc, and then I have to close down Internet Explorer to be able to get back to a normal situation in the system.
Can you please let me know how to update the BIOS?
Thanks.

Go in BIOS and make sure USB Legacy Support is Enabled(can be named USB KB/Storage Support), re-try to boot from your USB key again.
If no change:
Use HP Formatter(http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/32594.asp) to change USB key geometry, format the USB key in FAT32 via HP Tool.
/* some USB keys are picky, and they need a special conditional to boot from it, Forum Tool is using the existing drive parameters */
Then re-run Forum Tool, when its done reboot PC and boot again from it.

Set up home sharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. tried to sync music in library but ipod is not syncing the library. why not?

I set up homesharing between macbook pro and desktop pc. I have attempted to sync songs on my mac and pc, but the ipod will not sync the full library. why not?

Hey harold WD!
You will want to consolidate your entire library onto one computer using Home Sharing in order to sync all of these items onto your iPod. Use the following article to help you accomplish this:

Conflicts between Itunes and Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

I am looking to purchase a new pc with Windows Vista. What are some possible problems I could have with Itunes?

I have a new Windows Vista Home premium laptop and am NOT able to use the latest version of iTunes. Hopefully by the time you get your new computer, Apple will have taken the time to fix the garbage program that they are passing off as the latest version of iTunes.

(Trouble printing) Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510.

Trouble with connection between Macbook Pro and Hp Deskjet 1510. (Nothing Prints).
I have a Macbook Pro and am having difficulty printing documents from ‘Pages' from my Hp Deskjet 1510. I have installed the necessary software for the printer and it is connected via USB. Every time I try to print the printer icon comes up as it should, 'printing' and then 'job completed' and then the icon disappears. (Nothing is printed.) I thought it might be something to do with Pages compatibility with the printer but exporting the document to Word or making it a PDF doesn’t change anything. I don’t have Microsoft Word on my computer. The scanner does work and when I printed a ‘Test Page’ that worked too.
Let me know if you know why this is happening.

With these settings the network now works flawlessly, however, when i have my ethernet cable plugged in, my internet access via my airport card(on the macbook pro) is no longer available. Hoping you can tell me why this would be with this info i've provided.
Educated guess. The networking devices have priorities as to which are used. The standard order is that Ethernet has a higher priority than Airport.
While your Ethernet is unplugged it is inactive and the Mac ignores it. Once you plug it in, the Mac sees that it is active and switches traffic to that interface.
I actually take advantage of this feature at home, but configuring my Airport and Ethernet with identical fixed IP addresses. Normally I'll use Airport, but if I'm copying a huge file and I want faster performance, I'll just walk my MacBook (previously iBook, previously Powerbook) over to my Ethernet switch and plug in my MacBook. Magically, the Mac detects that the Ethernet is active and continues the file transfer uninterrupted over the faster 100baseT Ethernet connection. When the transfer is finished, or if I really need to move back to the Comfy Chair, I unplug the Ethernet cable, and all activity reverts back to the Airport, all without disrupting any existing networking connections.
You on the other hand have totally different settings for your Ethernet and your Airport, so when you switch to Ethernet, you basically loose your Airport connections.
Something you can try:
System Preferences -> Network
Gear icon on the bottom left, next to the [+] [-] icons.
Select *Set Service Order...*
Now Drag the network interfaces into the perfer priority order you want. In this case put Airport above Ethernet.
NOTE: You may want to create a new Network Location for this, instead of messing with your normal home Location (which is most likely the default Automatic. That way you have your original you can always fall back to.
