I just upgraded to Vista Ultimate, and durting the setup of my Verizon FiOS connection, the wizard prompted me for a PPPOE account that requires an account name and password. FiOS does not require that; it is a straight, hot internet connection. How do I get this configured correctly?

I have performed a fresh install of XP and now I'm trying to upgrade it to Vista Ultimate. After I enter the product key it states "Windows installation has encountered an error and needs to be restarted." Any suggestions on how to get past this error? Thanks.

After installing Windows home premium, I still have a few issues over that I then installed Firefox, as I like to use this browser sometimes for specific reasons. It appeared to install okay and then something went wrong, I can't remember what it was so that I proceeded to uninstall it. Ever since then every time I try and install something I get the message telling me that the previous...

My bro bought vista for his pc and mine, so why can't we both share a product key? I went to buy an additional license and it says, "coming soon". It says it will shut down windows in 11 days if not activated. Help!

One day while using my Vista Ultimate os, a BSOD popped up, and after it dumped my memory and restarted, I found the OS would not boot, I continually got the error "No Operating System Found", so I inserted the Vista Dvd, and used the repair function, which made that error message go away, and Vista booted and got past the Vista logo screen, but after that, the screen goes black except for...

Hi guys, I'm experiencing some major problems with Windows Vista. I bought an upgrade DVD, so, basically, I have 3 ways to install the new OS: 1) upgrading the existing Windows XP installation (the worst solution, in my opinion), 2) running the upgrade DVD under the legacy OS (e.g. executing the installation under Windows XP, but on a different partition), and 3) using the Dailytech trick to...
