I have 1 desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running Vista
Business. Both are connected to a home network and are accessing the Internet and seeing each other fine. I have turned file sharing on both computers and can access the desktop files from my laptop without any problem but cannot make them available for offline use om my laptop. When I try to establish a Sync partnership from my laptop I get the message: "There are no sync partnerships that be set up on this computer". The "Make available offline" button in file properties is not available. This problem happened only after I upgraded my desktop from XP Professional to Vista Home Premium. Before the upgrade I was able to have desktop files available offline. Please help |

Hi "Cheikh",
It is true that you are able to use Offline files when your desktop was in XP but unfortunately, from what I can remember, Vista Home Premium does not have this feature. If you want to have your laptop use offline files, I'm afraid that you have to install either of the three versions of Windows Vista which are; Business, Enterprise and Ultimate. Here's a link regarding the offline files. It does say on the top that it applies to the Business, Enterprise and Ultimate versions of Vista. http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...e1033.mspx#ELD "Cheikh" wrote: I have 1 desktop running Vista Home Premium and a laptop running Vista Business.
