It depends on the game

When you have the file put it in the root of the dvd folder or on a usb drive in the root folder which should be picked up when you start the install

I would never say that Vista is impossible to get rid of ...
1st of all have you checked the BIOS settings to ensure that the cd rom is the 1st bootable device.
If so try booting the machine with the XP CD in the drive and you should get a prompt asking if you would press any key to start from the disk

Shuttle Desktop PC AMD X2 4400 2.2 GHz Dual Core
1GB OCZ DDR400 RAM
160GB WestDigital Hard Drive
Hardware Info:
Processor: AMD X2 Dual core processor 4400+, 2.2GHz 1MB Cache2
160 GB WestDigital SATA
1 GB OCZ DDR400 RAM
Video Card: ATI X800XT Plantinum Edition
DVDRW CDRW
Software Info:
Loaded OS: Windows XP
Would this one be better?
Sounds a similar spec to the pc i am running at the moment but with a little bit less memory and an ATI Card instead of my trusty NVIDIA card so this would run vista ok with more memory

you could try chaging the port that RDP is connecting by disabling the remote desktop option in the proprties window then using regedit and editing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\TerminalServer\WinStations\RDP-Tcp\PortNumber
once done if you run
mstsc /v:HOTSTNAME:PORTNUMBER /admin
that should have changed the listening port number

if you open a command prompt and enter netstat -a you should get the responce
TCP 0.0.0.0:3389 TheGuildWIN:0 LISTENING
If the port is listening

Ive got my vista machine setup with the standard RDP port as a public port on my router and it connects fine from my office although as long as you set the RDP port correctly you can in theory set any external port as the incomming connection wich routes through to your machine
So say for example my home machine is set to 192.168.0.2 the port for RDP to work is 3389 this is open by default on my machine try looking at any firewall on your machine which could be blocking this port
I have my external ip setup to 194.38.21.77 (only an example) with port 380 set to forward to 192.168.0.2:3389 which allows me a connection ok from my XP laptop as from the error messages you are getting i sugest trying using only your machines ip for now and from work take the public ip from your router and try using port forwarding

ok and how are you trying to access the machine (by hostname or by IP) the only reason i ask this is becasuse the VMWare adapters usualy have a different ip range and have you tried this on another computer?

Are you only using the remote connection via VMware?

First of all i would check the firewall settings within vista to ensure that you are on a private network as it locks down the machine if it is connected to a public network.
Second make sure you are on the same network (ip in the same range and subnet the same)

Have you tried removing the partition on the drive and recreating it?

or yet another alternative if you are using business or ulitimate is to use go to run then enter
control userpasswords2
then untick the box that says require password

Yes you can use an key bought with an X86 version of Vista to install the X64 OS (So long as you have the X64 Media)

sounds like a good thing to do let us know if that works for you

The way you could do that is to Right click on my computer and go to manage, and select local users and groups. If you expand that option and select users this will give you the console to edit users. However you wont be able to delete administrator or guest i sugest you simply rename the accounts

Ive been using Vista since a few months after it came out, at first i was sceptical and kept xp on my machine but after only a week or so i re-installed with out xp with out any issues. I cant see why there is that many people having problems with it, out of the box it is stable on most upto date systems.

what resources are you trying to use?
I use my laptop wich runs xp sp3 to access network shares on vista x64 sp1
command that i generaly use is
net use u: \\hostname\share /savecred /persistent:yes
(U can be any letter that you want to map the drive to)
this then asks for the machine login details and keeps the drive mapping when not on my local network.
as for the command you where running i sugest you clear what ever you entered (shoud be the command net use * /delete)

How to share a Mac formatted drive in vista?
in Windows Vista
Posted
that may help with networking the 2 machines together and share the resource but windows will not see the mac formatted partition and i dont think time machine will backup to a remote device other than a time capsule
