Remotely Control Windows 7 Home Premium

Hey,
So this is my problem: I've got two computers at home. One's a Mac and the other is a Wndows 7 Home Premium machine.
I have Lion Server coupled with ARD 3 and need to remotely control the Windows computer. I have installed VNC 4 (on Windows) but don't know what to do next.
I understand there is a bunch of restrictions within Windows 7 Home Premium when it comes to remote connections but it's something I really need to sort out.
Do you know how to set up ARD with Windows VNC (or any other paths to remote control)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Cameron

Hey,
So on the Windows PC the "Allow Remote Assistance connections to this computer" checkbox is marked.
And on the Mac the error message reads:
"The Mac cannot connect to the Windows based computer.
This problem can occur if:
• The Windows-based computer is not set up to accept remote connections.
• The Windows-based computer is not turned on.
• The Mac, or the Windows-based computer is experiencing network problems.
Try connecting to the Windows-based computer again, or contact your administrator."
Thanks for being so helpful!

Can't launch icloud control panel on Windows Vista Home Premium HP PC

I have successfuly installed iCloud Control Panel on my HP Windows Vistat Home Premium PC. But when I launch iCloud, nothing happens. No error messge nd no panel. What should I do please? i

Please first try to enable javascript in the about:config page. Javascript is not the same as Java.
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and protect users from unintentially damaging their Firefox, the option to disable JavaScript was removed from the Firefox Options window.
However, the option to disable JavaScript was not removed from Firefox entirely. You can still access it from about:config or by installing an add-on.
'''about:config'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''Add-ons'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back removed options for JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript Settings, loading images, and showing the Tab Bar)
Thank you and I hope this helps!

How do I locate the quicktime control panel (to upgrade to quicktime pro) in Windows 7 home premium?

I just paid to upgrade QuickTime and received a registration code. Tho problem is there is no way to find the QuickTime control panel via the Windows 7 Home Premium control panel. How to I ovrcome this?
p.s. I'm a newbe to QuickTime :-)

Thanks Gary,
This does not help me... the instructions state:
1. Locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel
From the Windows Desktop, click on the Start menu, choose Settings, then choose Control Panel, then locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel.
However, I cannot locate the QuickTime 7 Control Panel on the Windows 7 control panel -- it's not listed anywhere in the available options.

Windows 7 home premium 64 bit , no brightness control.

My OS is Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I have a brand new Lenovo "desktop" pc with AMD quad core processor with integrated ATI graphics, 6 gig of memory . I cannot find anyway to adjust the brightness via Windows . The monitor itself is all the way up and the pictures are still too dark specially on the tv tuner card. I did not have this issue with the monitor on my old IBM with Win ME in it . The display was plenty bright on that setup and did not have to have the brightness all the way up and the tv card in that looked great.
The new setup has the latest drivers . I have looked under the power settings and there is no slider bar for brightness adjustment in there. Anyone got any ideas to try ?

you can adjust the relative brightness using the integrated ATI graphics control panel setting.

I can't uninstall Firefox(3.6.3) either through the control panel or by going to Program files/Mozilla Firefox/Uninstall and running the helper.exe, I have Windows 7 Home Premium(64bit)

I simply want to uninstall Mozilla FireFox 3.6.3. I tried both recommendations of using the control panel to add/remove program and running the helper.exe in Program Files/Mozilla FireFox/uninstall. I am running Windows 7 Home Premium Edition(64bit). When I tried to remove it using the add/remove program and helper.exe all it does is start for a split second(mouse pointer turns into circular loading icon) and then it stops.

Hi Guys,
I had this same problem too, and i want to share to all of you my own fix for this kind of problem;
(READ FIRST: ''This step will wipeout everything that mozilla saved on your computer including : password, history and bookmarks''.)'''
'''1. download the Revo Uninstaller''''''
- quick step guide for this:
select mozilla firefox, don't forget to uninstall everything that relates to mozilla including registry to clean them all up.
'''2. download mozilla firefox again'''
- AND REINSTALL. however on this stage, in some cases mozilla will not open at this stage.
'''3. Uninstall Mozilla firefox again NOW using control panel.'''
'''4. Restart the computer to refresh everything.'''
'''5. Reinstall mozilla firefox again, once you have received the prompt for "exporting or importing etc.. etc.. from Microsoft" that means its already working.. it will take around 5-10 sec to load up (in my case) .'''

Remote Desktop compatible with Windows 7 Home Premium

I would like to see/hear/manipulate the various programs on my laptop....from my playbook....
I downloaded Remote Desktop for Blackberry Playbook (by Todd Grayson), but unfortunately I did not read the specificis of the app, and it does not work with Windows 7 Home Premium. My laptop windows version apparently allows you to access other computers remotely, but I cannot access my own ! Now I am afraid to download and pay for another app for fear it won't work either.
My playbook and my laptop are both on wifi. We have an E2000 router. I'd like to be able to access my computer via the playbook from within the house and from another location...(two different programs?)
Anybody have any suggestions? Word of warning.....Needless to say, I am not particularly tech savvy.....

FIFO buffer control in Windows 7 Home Premium

Hi all.
I'm trying to communicate with a CNC mill through a serial port (RS232). I used to run Windows XP but am now running Windows 7 Home Premium. In XP there was an option in Device Manager on the port(COM) under properties where I could set the FIFO buffering
to low, but I can not find this option in Windows 7 Home Premium. I have heard the option does exist in Windows 7 Pro.
Does anyone know how to make this setting in Home Premium?
Regards,
Lene

Hi Lene,
I can change the COM FIFO buffer in Windows 7 Enterprise in Device Manager.
We may take a try to use the registry key to change the Receive and Transmit Buffer level.
Please take following steps to change the Buffer.
1. Open Registry Editor.
2. Go to HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Serial
3. Change the RxFIFO and TxFIFO values, they represent the Receive buffer and transmit buffer.
For more information, please refer to the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc962421.aspx
Before making any changes in registry, please make backup first.
Hope it will be helpful.

I have finally got Exchange 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect

I have finally got Outlook 2010 on Windows 7 Home Premium to connect to Exchange 2013 installed on a Server 2012 R2 DC a DC that is connected to the local LAN, I have done this by manually setting up the connect via http proxy
settings as follows:-.
URL to Exchange Proxy Server, I had to set to
.co.uk">username@<external_domainname>.co.uk
**Why can I not connect in the same way as I connect to Exchange Server 2010 with just local NTLM Authentication and no proxy settings?.

Hi,
According to your description, I understand you want to know why not Outlook connect to Exchange 2010 by NTML Authentication and without proxy setting in LAN.
I guess you may be referring to Outlook Anywhere. In Exchange 2013, Outlook Anywhere is enabled by default, because all Outlook connectivity takes place via Outlook Anywhere. The only post-deployment task you must perform to successfully use Outlook Anywhere
is to install a valid SSL certificate on your Client Access server. Mailbox servers in your organization only require the default self-signed SSL certificate.
However, In a local area network (LAN) environment, Microsoft Outlook communicates with Microsoft Exchange Server by using remote procedure call (RPC) with Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). This method provides quick and efficient
access in a corporate network. Within this network environment, we could use MAPI protocol to connect to Exchange 2010. Typically, mail clients on domain-joined computers inside your network use NTLM authentication.
If your want use Outlook Anywhere connect to Exchange server, we have to specify the FQDN of the PRCproxy Server. More information about How does Outlook Anywhere work (and not work), for your convenience:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2008/06/20/3405633.aspx
Note: Basic authentication sends the user name and password in clear text. It also requires that users enter domain, user name, and password every time that they connect to the Exchange server. When you use NTLM authentication, the user's credentials are never
sent over the network. Instead, the client computer and the server exchange hashed values of the user's credentials.
Best Regards,
Allen Wang
The problem is, I have the Client Access Role and Mailbox Role on the same server, when I try to connect to Exchange using Outlook, it screws up Outlook when it does the Auto Discover, the only way I can get it to work is by installing the
certificate first, With Exchange 2013 the normal NTLM Authentication used with 2010 does not work with 2013 and you have to use proxy settings but with the NTLM selected instead of basic authentication,
The other problem I am getting is that when I submit a certificate request the locally installed CA having created the request in Exchange, and then complete the installation of the generated certificate, even though when you check the certificate in Exchange
the Alternate Names are there but they are not actually in the certificate and the certificate the does not work.
In Exchange 2010 two certificates are generated one with what looks like just the certificate authority name in it and one with the external name in it, the one with the external name in it appears to be of the wild card format.
Local machines get issued the certificate with just the local name in and the external machines get issued the one with the external name in it.
Is t possible to replicate the behaviour of 2010, desktop machine on the internal LAN do not need outlook anywhere, only the laptops coming in and out need that?.
I have laptop machines on 2011 SBS, set are up to connect from anywhere using the RPC over Proxy with basic authentication which as you say needs passwords but when they connect in the Office the RPC over proxy seems to be ignored and
they connect using NTLM, that is what I want to do with the 2013 setup.
How?

Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) is slow. Which start-up services should run?

I recently had to use system restore and make a few changes to get my system running again. Ooops. I now have a very slow computer whereas it was working fine before. I haven't recently installed any new software or hardware and suspect that some essential start-up services may have been disabled, stopped or set to manual while some other unused services may have been set to start, automatic or automatic (delayed).
Can someone please direct me to another thread (if available) or list which start-up services should be in which state?
Thank you!
System details:
~ HP IQ818A
~ Windows Vista Home Premium
~ Service Pack 1
~ 4GB RAM
~ 64-bit
~ avast! Anti-virus is active

Sydney,
I don't have an IQ818 at the moment, all I have is an IQ506T - from last fall. I had just done a recovery of it.
Note: 1) I did choose to NOT perform automatic updates, 2) I haven't yet configured Norton, and 3) I haven't turned off TouchSmart from running in the background.
This isn't exactly your system, but it would be somewhat close. Your safest bet would be to recover and start over, but here goes with the services listings. Please note its comma delimited - you can look at it better with something like Excel, Works or Open Office.
Good luck on this.

PLEASE HELP

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

I have windows vista home premium and all other versions of iTunes worked on my laptop iTunes 10 won't work, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my browser configuration?

I have windows vista home premium and all other iTunes worked on my laptop, I downloaded iTunes 10 and now the iTunes will not connect to the Internet. I use Mozilla firefox on my laptop and for some reason it keeps saying the connection timed out and I'm not connected to the Internet when I am. Why isn't iTunes recognizing my web configuration?

It probably has to do with your security and/or browser configuration.
When my laptop crashed last year and I had to get a new one, I dealt with the same thing. First, go to your control panel and select the security section. See if your firewalls are up or not. If they are, turn them off. If you have any software to speed up your browser, that can affect the connection as well. Go into that software and disble/turn it off. If this doesn't work, contact customer support. They have a few other tricks they had me try that worked, but I can't remember them now.
