My wife and I have both have laptops, almost identical.

I purchased a copy of Windows 7 for both machines but a year or so
apart.

I neeed to reload her machine, using a clean start as I want to give
her machine to my grandson.

I still have both win 7 disks and the original packageing but I don't
know which copy went with which machine,

Is there a way to check the validation codes that were entered when
the win 7 was originally loaded?

Thanks.

Does Win7 have a library of other fonts online? I

If I buy a Windows 7 computer, in theory
I can transfer all my files and settings with a transfer cable and its
software (Dell offers the Belkin Easy Transfer Cable). I have some questions
before trying this:

* Assuming the cable works, will it also transfer all my old programs onto
the new computer and put them in the right places so they'll work the way
they did before?

* What about settings that are stored in the Registry? Would it transfer
them--and if so, would they still work?

* Would it matter if the new computer were 64-bit rather than my current
32-bit? (I know some very old 16-bit programs won't run, but what about the
others?)

I guess the most crucial questions are whether using this kind of transfer
is safe and whether it's as straightforward as the manufacturer says it is.

If it could cause file corruption or screw up any native settings on the new
computer, I'd probably be better off reinstalling programs, copying and
pasting datafiles, and creating new settings.

Thank you!

normal, somehow in a shortcut?

The newer Firefox's sometimes steal too many
startup cycles from audio players, causing them to
skip, which is fixed by lowering the priority of
Firefox.

I'd like to do that at startup in the shortcut, if
possible.

(Cygwin lets me do it with a nice -10 [firefox
path name] but that's not from a shortcut.)

plays movies and music right of my network drive. Well this week is
has not worked right. It all started when my sister moved into the
basement. I was living here alone. Just me and my 3 computers. I
have an XP desktop, a Win7 laptop and a Win7 desktop. I use the XP as
my printer/file server. I have one folder that I share that has a few
videos and a few music files. The WDTV Live player has been playing
media regularly for several months.

When my sister moved in, this added her Win7 laptop, her XP desktop,
her daughter's XP desktop and her son's XP desktop. WDTV Player went
wild. It would no longer display my \\Winmx\BBC video folder. It did
show a shared drive on another XP machine, but not my shared folder.

I contacted WDTV Live. After trying to get the player to work he
agreed it was not working and they are going to send me a new player.
During the trouble shoot session I had with tech support, he had me
change the XP machine's workgroup from mshome to workgroup. This
didn't get the WDTV working but it still allowed me to see all the
other drives on the network.

I guess my real question is what does changing the workgroup do? I
assume that all my other computers are set to default (whatever that
is. I am guessing mshome.) My workgroup in the xp server machine is
workgroup. When all the computers don't have the same workgroup and
they still are able to access each other, why would changing the
workgroup do anything?

BTW I left my WDTV Live off all day today and it works fine now. They
have shipped my replacement anyway.

week I installed all the Patch Tuesday updates. Then I used the DVD drive to
install Microsoft Word. After that, I installed all the high-priority
Microsoft updates that followed the installation of Word.

Yesterday, when I tried to play a CD, I discovered that the drive isn't
recognized by Windows any more. When I plug it into the USB port, it lights
up momentarily; but there's no Safely Remove Hardware icon in the system
tray, and the drive doesn't appear in My Computer.

I unplugged the drive, waited, and plugged it in again, but no change. I
tried another USB port; no change. I unplugged it and turned off the
computer, waited a bit, and turned it back on; no change. I left it plugged
in and turned off the computer, then turned it back on; no change.

I tried to use Add Hardware, but Windows seemed to think it was looking for
a camera or a printer. There was nothing in the list for a CD/DVD burner.

Is it possible that the updates I installed after installing Word screwed up
Windows' recognition of this drive? Could it be something else?

I'd be grateful for help in fixing this problem.

Thank you,

Jo-Anne

The server is FTP-ing a constant series to 20-second video clips
to another location. Each clip is about a meg in size.

So far, so good...

Problem is that the camera goes nuts after dark and the clips
come out to be 10-20 megs - basically of darkness with some
lights on a distant shore.

What I want to do is kill the server around sundown and start it
up after sunrise.

To that end, I'd need something to help scheduler out.

So far, all I can come up with is
http://www.risacher.org/sunwait/

Problem is that, although the developer has compiled it to a
..EXE, it has not been tested - and it seems to have problems
parsing the command line.

So, bottom line: Does anybody know of a way to schedule jobs
relative to sunrise/sunset?

The site is accessible at 10.0.0.34 and I want to go via xx2233.nl if possible. I've Already done a lot; flushing, restarts, file-extension check, dns client win-stop service ... nothing.
