The desktop pc is wired into the router, and the laptops are all getting internet via this router… now all laptops are running windows xp while the desktop is running vista… can this be done or would i need to get a wireless adapter for the desktop pc?

I have a desktop PC and 2 laptops with a 2wire wireless modem. How do i set the network up so that the laptops can access music/movie/data files that are on the desktop? The desktop is directly connected to the 2wire modem and the laptops are wireless.

I plan to connect the PC to my router and using the router as a way to remotely access the PC using a laptop. I was wondering if I could launch a anti-spyware program to clean its hard drive using remote desktop connection because the PC is extremely slow

How do I go about finding out how much memory I have on my Compaq desktop? You know, where do I locate that information on my PC? I want to get another memory module, but first I need to know what I already have on my PC.

asked:


The laptop is running Windows 7 Home Premium (Model: G60-445DX)
The Desktop PC is running Windows XP Media Center (Model: A1430n)
Both computers are 32bit.
They are on the same network.

How do I share files between the two?

Mish asked:


I was thinking about asking $100 for my Gateway desktop pc, but is that too much? It’s six years old, has 80gb of storage, Windows XP operating system, Pentium 4, and honestly, for as old as it is, it runs great. I can run Photoshop & other programs on it all at once, without much lag. There are no problems with it whatsoever, other than the obvious bit of “thinking time” when performing certain operations.

my laptop is wirelessly connected to the desktop pc. i want to know how i can wirelessly transfer a file (just by putting it in a folder), and it is instantly accessable on the desktop computer. i currently have only privatre users (one on the laptop and two on the desktop) with no network set up. high speed verizon broadband connection.

a link would be very helpful and all answers are greatly appreciated.
the term “sharing files” is also what i mean.

I have Desktop PC running on only Operating System Windows xp. The total installed programs are taking 4 GB harddisk space. I am having 40 GB harddisk.
But the C:\Documents and Settings folder shows 21 GB space used.
I checked individual folder of C:\Documents and Settings. But this shows very small space occupied. (I have show hidden files & folders checked in Folder Options)
I run norton anti virus regularly and it does not show any virus/spyware.
How do I find out what is using up all my hard disk space?
