    It should work. I'm using the same windows CD as my friends. Our computers are no way connected anyway. Even with the same ID and Pass it should work.

    Don't worry, It'll work.

    depends wat ur "signing in" to

    if its the windows/linux login acct, no problems
    messenger/icq, whichever one u login will logout the other one
    website accts are fine too

    other than that, u won't notice any problems =)
    i haf multiple desktops networked up and its all fine

    Thanks for your advice
    Think both destop & Laptop will be using Windows XP .
    so hope i can sign-in both at the same time..
    was thinking using the destop to surf net , and the laptop to download drama , after that , use the S-Video cable (via the laptop) plug into my TV to view the series ..
    pray that will be clear viewing thru TV ...not blur blur...-rolleyes

    Sick of converting series to VCD , then Nero-burning.. waste my time and CD-RW

    anymore advice ,most welcome..

    thanks in advance;)

    y don't u just dl with the desktop
    wireless network the two
    and then u can just access anything thats on the desktop at any time =)
    and u can still link laptop to tv etc

    keep in mind that svideo cable quality isn't that great, but its better than nothing
    i only use svideo too >< costs too much to upgrade tv =(

    thanks for the good advice..

    was advised by one member, to use / do this

    HDMI - Best
    Component - Better
    s-video cable - Good
    Composite - Basic
    s-video little blurry.


    pls explain to me what's HDMI, Component & etc ? some wire, device ,gadgets ?

    my head is not only blurry but spinning too !!!-innocent2

    thanks in advance

    all the terms above are types of interfaces/standards or just think of them as the type of cable you need

    ok HDMI is only for High definition, talking about up to 1080p
    resolution. I dont think many graphics will have hdmi, so doubt you will run into that

    Component is high quality but again not many graphics card will support that

    the most common cables you will find are composite, the yellow one or s-video

    however if ur doing it from a laptop, most laptops only have a VGA out (maybe DVI) which wont go into a TV
