I tried a few more things, and none of them are working yet. The director has contacted Gateway to complain, since they bought 9 machines at once, and all five Profile 6 are defective. They haven't...

We are still having compatibility issues with our programs in our office, but thankfully I convinced the boss not to tank my old computer. I set it up in an empty office, and it's my go-to machine...

Yes, I ran that command on all and got the same error. I think I'll see what MS has to say, and otherwise I'll give the reinstall a try as a last resort.

There is also a Clean Slate program...

Unfortunately, Dial-a-fix tells me it is does not work properly for Vista.

No. When I try to update from the website, it gives me the same error message.

I'll check out that link. Thanks

Yes, they are on a network. I guess I'm as close to an IT person as they have. (My boss's wife is the library director, so I work on them as a favor).

I am supposed to upgrade my boss's computer from the worthless Vista Home Premium to Vista Business. He purchased the upgrade disk. Is it necessary to do a clean install? I ask because of some time...

I tried enabling the Remote connection - actually, it was already enabled, but I disabled and enabled again. Still no dice. My computer sees the notebook, but I'm being denied access. I'm sure...

Sorry for the delay in writing back. I fell through a ceiling and got pretty busted up, so I've been out of commission lately. I will try the suggestions and let you know how it goes. Thanks.

I checked, and the Password Protection is already off. Any other ideas, other than flinging it out the nearest window?

Thanks. I'll take all the help I can get.

Well, the firewall on the notebook is disabled, as there is a firewall on the router. Is there a way of specifying an IP address for the router? I know very little about routers.

My boss just bought a HP Pavilion dv9000 with Windows Vista Home Premium. I am trying to add it to the wired office network (all other computers are Dells running XP). After much difficulty and...
