Update: Google Cast works on Windows Vista PC?s, but why am I so excited? Hey, good news for us dwindling users of Windows Vista: (Are there any out there besides myself??) We CAN install the ?Google Cast? Extension on the Chrome Browser of our Windows Vista PC?s, and we can now cast to our...

Thanks for the explanations, Farish. I stand corrected, and enlightened. Yes, it is Second Life that I?m into, and your insights and clarifications on that are appreciated. I?ve read many of your posts on this Forum, and they are very worthwhile. As for upgrading my Vista PC to Windows 7, I...

Yes, $1,000 is high for a PC, Farish, but I?m into video games as well as a graphic-intensive Virtual Reality realm, and providing for these indulgences does get expensive. I plan to get an Intel i7 chip and motherboard, with tons of RAM, and a 2GB heavy-duty video card. I doubt if it?s...

Yeah, you?re right, Trunks. I really wrote the post with tongue in cheek. I was actually planning to get a new PC in late fall, and I?m hoping that Chromecast will work with the new Operating System, either Windows 7 or 8.1. Any words of advice on which one would be better?

Oh, I did my research, Mr. Madison. That?s why the first part of the subject says, ?Chromecast works as promised?.?. I knew what it was supposed to do, and it does it well. But who among us doesn?t have hopes that we can tweak it to make it do more? This Forum is full of posts suggesting...

I tried to set up Chromecast on my Windows Vista PC, but it wouldn?t let me. Yes, they did indicate that it only worked with Windows 7 and above. I had to use my Google Nexus 7 tablet for set up, which was my second choice for casting. Hulu won?t work on my tablet (no, I?m not interested in...

If I set up Chromecast using Windows 7 on a desktop PC, will the app appear on my Vista PC and my Nexus 7 tablet automatically, since they are all on the same wi-fi network? Must the Nexus 7 tablet be on and in wi-fi mode when I set up the Chromecast app on the Windows 7 PC? In other words...

That IS weird, because right here it shows Windows 7 as a minimum for casting: https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/3046409?hl=en&ref_topic=2998366

I just discovered that for PC?s, Chromecast only supports Windows 7 and higher for casting to a Chromecast enabled TV. Since I don?t plan on upgrading from my Windows Vista operating system on my PC to Windows 7 or higher anytime soon, I?m hoping fervently that Google will update their...

What?s the latest information regarding Chromecast availability of Hulu content? They are obviously not part of the ?Original Four?, namely, Netflix, Youtube, Chrome Browser, and Google Play Store. So is Hulu in or out? Also, what?s the status of Amazon Prime content, and Amazon Instant...

Thanks for the response, but not sure I understand you? I plan to use the Windows Vista PC to do all of the casting to the TV, once setup is complete. Are you saying that I will or will not have to install the setup app on my Vista PC? Are you saying that the Vista PC will automatically...

Note: I just ordered my Chromecast from Google Play Store. I have two PC?s on my wi-fi network, one with Windows 7 (which theoretically CAN be used to set up Chromecast, and one with Windows Vista (which theoretically CANNOT be used to set up Chromecast). Unfortunately, the PC with Windows 7...
