runescapeloser22 Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 There are two computers in my house that I use, a desktop and my laptop. My laptop doesn't have a lot of RAM and isn't very fast, but my desktop is a nice fast computer. When I want to convert a movie on my laptop it takes a good 3+ hours minimum, but on my desktop is usually only takes 40-60 minutes. Is there a way to access my desktop computer from my laptop and tell it to convert the video? (It would save onto a network drive that both computers can access) My laptop runs on XP and the desktop runs Vista, I hope this doesn't prevent it from being possible...

runescapeloser22 Posted December 7, 2008 Author Share Posted December 7, 2008 That looks cool, but will it still work if one is Vista and one is XP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzs Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Depends what version of Vista, iirc Home Basic/Premium do not have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eggzs Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Holy [cabbage], it does. I must have misread the back of the Vista box on the store shelves then ( just typed it into the start menu) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
