I would like to have the ability to run windows vista on my computer and still keep my Windows Vista. How can I go about setting space for Windows XP? Thank you.

I bought a compaq laptop that came with windows vista home basic. It didnt come with the vista cd. Is there a way for me to get windows vista from my computer somehow so that i can have it just in case i ever need to reinstall it? I have the activation number and everything but not the vista cd.

I want to run my record player into the line-in jack on my laptop, to record old records. When I record, Windows sends the built-in mic signal to my recording program. How do I tell Windows Vista to ignore the built in mic and pay attention to the line signal?

I’ve installed a piece of software that came with a Kodak digital camcorder onto a PC that has Windows Vista. How do I now find what version that software is (via Windows)?

In earlier versions of Windows, I’d just go to the software’s “Help” menu, choose “About” and get the software version that’s installed, Windows Vista doesn’t appear to have that option anymore.

Thank you in advance for your help.
