You can share files between the two boots... they use they same hardware (including drives). It would be a pain though. Like I said, I believe a separate system is best. Using a KVM switch, the only extra space you need is for the "tower".

If you are not picking anything up on the scans, you could try a third software, just to be safe. I guess that you could also be running into some Windows issue. If that is the case, you could attempt a system restore back to a date that you weren't having problems. Please know that I am...

It is possible to use the same keyboard/mouse/monitor for two (or more) PCs. You will need a KVM switch to accomplish this. It would save you a little space. Generally, the KVM swith will allow you to switch between computers with a keystroke, pretty simple. I would only try virtualization...

Good deal... It still doesn't sound like a hard drive failure to me. I am thinking some malware of some sort.

Wow... good press for Windows 7 already! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13506_3-10140575-17.html

Dual boot is a pain because you have to reboot everytime you want to switch. If the budget is there, a separate RIP workstation would be more efficient. Since you are only cutting, those specs may be OK. Virtualization may be an option as well, if you are the tech savvy type. Virtual PC or...

What makes you think it is a failing hard drive? It sounds more like a software issue to me (although diagnosing over the Internet with such little info is sketchy at best). Virus, spyware, etc. may be a cause, but there are other possibilities as well. If you want to get the files off, I...

XP and Vista (32 Bit) can use up to 4GB, most likely will show 3.25 - 3.6GB XP and Vista (64 Bit) can use more than 4GB, but you need to make sure that your software is 64 Bit compatible.

Yeah, we'll see. Maybe I am just resisting change a bit. It may grow on me.

I have been playing with it in Virtual PC a bit the last couple days. I like it. Windows 7 (so far) seems to be a "molded" Vista. I do have a problem with the taskbar (or task-band as it is now called) so far. They seemed to have done away with "quick launch" due to the way that the new...

If you are doing any large designs, you may regret moving to a laptop. Laptop lack performance compared to an equally spec'd desktop. If you need to move to a laptop due to mobility and portability concerns, and you have to do larger designs, I would get me something with a little "teeth" to...

In my opinion, it would be best to bite the bullet and get a second license. It is a cost of doing business.

Yeah, but what a pain in the @$$. I don't know how many times they will let you do it in any given time period either.

You can deactivate Adobe software from within the "help" menu. It tells the Adobe server that that license is free to be used and "activated" on another computer. The software is still installed (but deactivated) and you have to activate it before you can use it again.

If your devices are connected by a router (wireless or wired), they are on a network. I believe the license allows you to use it on one computer at a time. You can "deactivate" a license and then "activate" it on another computer. It may allow you to "activate" it more than once, on two...

I thought that others might hate that crap as much as I did!

Are you using the 64 Bit version of Vista? We see this too once in a while. It seems to mostly be flash drives with "software" on them, such as certain drives with "U3" on them. I started removing the "U3" from my Sandisk drives (using a utility on their website, here.) and have had better...

I would think that it would be OK, but I am not a legal expert by any means. I defer to those "in the know".

I ran into this with XP64 and CS3, so I don't think that it is a Vista deal. I remember doing a little research and finding that it was an Adobe issue. If I remember correctly, they had decided to not support Type 1 fonts anymore. I am glad that you found a workaround. It wasn't that big of...

Even though it is a 32 Bit application, it may very well run faster on a 64 Bit system due to a higher amount of RAM available. Often, on a 32 Bit OS, 1/2 the RAM is dedicated to running the OS and the other half is available for running applications. Even in an ideal 4GB of RAM (max on a 32...
