MSHOME Is Not Available:One Machine Inaccessible
Jan 13, 2010
One of my computers has suddenly become unaccessible to the network. All connected and working previously - suddenly the XP Desktop says "MSHOME is not available. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions." when I click My Network Places. Then it says (never seen this one before): "No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept." Don't know what to make of that. I've recycled power to the router and modem and rebooted. Router config page shows one entry for each machine except desktop 1 shows two entries. Turned off all firewalls and can ping each machine from each machine. Installed Windows updates. What should I do?

I tried installing the LLTD onto my XP machine but got the message that it was not going to load because the file on my machine was up to date and therefore not nescessary. BUT, I still cannot get the network to work.On the Vista machine I can see the XP machine but clicking on it gets the message that it is inaccessible. The computer name is correct.On the XP machine I see nothing except the local area connection icon. Both machines are in the same workgroup. Some of the network must be working OK because the XP machine and Vista machine both access the internet using the network to get to the Netgear router. Setting up networking on the XP asks you to make a n/w disk for the other machines but - It only allows your to use the Adisk (floppy.

I am running a small network. My workstations are running Vista ultimate and my server running Windows 2003 server. Under XP I had no problems accessing mapped drives but under Vista they become inaccessible after a period of time/inactivity.
This is how it is set up. I have a folder shared on my server called applications. I have it mapped as "P:Applications" on my Vista PC. In "stored user names and passwords" I have an entry \Server with the login details barry@home and the password. This is exactly the same as I had in XP. When I launch Vista the drives auto connect and I can access any of the files. However after a while when I click on a mapped drive icon I get the following error dialog box entitled: "Location is not available" The error message then reads: "P: is not accessible. Logon failure: unknown user name or password." If I reboot Vista the mapped drives work again so it doesn't look like it's a Server 2003 problem and this didn't happen under XP.

i can access to it i'm gotting a mensage it say: your sistem it's been lockecd and the data in the hard disk is currently inaccessible. Your hard disk it's encrypted, therefore you need to enter an administrator password in order to access the data.
The domain that you are trying to access is not valid or it's been disabled by your administrator, pleae contact your sistem administrator for support. Unable to load windows, number of attempts excceded.

I've lost access to the Security Center page. All components, i.e., Firewall, Defender, etc. are still individually accessible and working fine with my Norton 360 v2. However all links to the Security Center page: Welcome Center, Control Panel, and Help & Support no longer work. I've tried the System File checker and System Restore utilities to no avail.Short of reinstalling Windows Vista and its SP1, is there anything else I can try?

This all started when I recently had some malwares/viruses roaming around my laptop one day. I had managed to get rid of it all but it left my Direct Console 2.0 useless (I have an ASUS G-50V, Vista Premium 64-bit). I've tried reinstalling it and it just wouldn't load, no error message or anything (it did show up on taskmanager but no window appeared).
So trying to find a solution on google I ended up installing .net Framework 4.0. However, after restarting i started getting a ton of error messages about files in the Program Files folder, and then I realized it had just completely disappeared (rather, all the files inside disappeared). First the error messages said the folder was "corrupt and unreadable."
I navigated to the folder and tried clicking it, which then another error message popped up saying "Access is denied." I tried almost every solution I found on google, changing ownership and such, but I still cannot open the folder. Moreover, I cannot repair or uninstall any program that is or has been in the Program Files which I'm assuming has to do with the permission issues. I noticed this when I ran the setup for Direct Console 2.0 and tried to repair it, only giving me an error saying "The Installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file: C:Program Files (x86)ASUSOvClk.dll." But this also makes no sense to me as this is the x86 program files folder, which I can access.
I checked both of the folders and TrustedInstaller has ownership to both of them.
*Edit - I just checked the ASUS folder inside my Program Files (x86) where the only group assigned to it for security is "Everyone" and it had no access whatsoever.
I would like to know if there is any possible way to fix this and if the files inside the folder are still there as this is very frustrating to deal with. Most of my ASUS programs were in the Program Files, including the hotkey manager is really useful to me. Thanks a lot.
In case you need to know:
As for the what I did to deal with malwares and viruses I mentioned before, I did install Malwarebytes on another computer with updated definitions and loaded it on a flash drive here, removing whatever malwares it found. Even after this though (and this has been a consistent problem), mbam.exe would disappear after installing Malwarebytes regularly on my own laptop.
Thinking there was some virus or other malware laying around that it didn't pick up, I downloaded and installed AVG. I updated it and full scanned, which found more viruses and did fix the issue of mbam.exe disappearing after install. At this point I installed Malwarebytes again, updated, and scanned again, finding 1 or 2 trojans and I think at this point there shouldn't be any viruses/malwares causing issues, but of course I could be wrong.

When I browse for a printer on the network I can see the workgroup, I can see the PC with the printer, but I don't see the printer show up under the PC in the Add Printer Wizard dialog. This was easy for me back when there were two machines running XP.
I have installed the x86 printer driver on the Vista machine. Would this be easier if I upgraded the Vista machine to Windows 7?

Computer 1 is my home desktop running Vista Premium SP1. It is on the 'workgroup' workgroup. Computer 2 is my work laptop (on docking station) running XP Pro SP2. It is on a domain called 'amer'. There is an HP LaserJet 2100 connected to the Vista machine. It is shared. This is a wired network with D-Link router. At first I thought it was a sharing issue when I could not print from the XP machine to the printer on the Vista machine. But then I realized it is a network issue because if I try to browse the Vista machine from the XP machine I get the 'no access, you may not have permission', etc. message. To make it work, I :
1. start the XP machine (assuming the Vista machine is already running)
2. wait about 15 minutes for the Vista machine to see that the XP machine is there.
3. Browse to and open the XP machine from the Vista machine
4. Go to the XP machine, open its workgroup (amer) and then open the XP machine
5. Wait a minute or so, then while still on the XP machine, navigate to
Vista machine's workgroup ('workgroup') and open the workgroup. If the Vista machine appears I am good to go. I don't need to browse it, it just needs to appear.........................

I was able to delete MovieMaker, PhotoGallery, Games/etc crap folders which are inaccessible or @least undeletable for normal people. I can delete Windows itself, of course won't ever do that, but theoretically I defeated every shiled that prevents normal people to fully control their "assets". My point is not to brag about it or advertise pointless actions. I am just happy I own this laptop & every bit of harddisk except Bootsector (which I can still penetrate with special binary tools).
Things people think can't be done, can be done if you have brains. Also since I hate WinLiveMail and all Live applications, I forced regular WinMail to work under WIndows7 RC; I am sure when Windows7 comes out I won't be bothering with LiveMail horrendous crapware. WinMail will work here, ideally I want OutlookExpress but... there's a technical problem that prevente dme from forcing it run under Windows7 (too long to explain). Or I might simply start using Outlook which's been idle in my MSOffice2007,except it's too bloated and makes me feel bad about losing good old OE. So folks, you can access and delete things, dont ask me how b/c Microsoft who runs these forums will not appreciate, I just can do whatever.... it's my laptop after all.

Its been about three months since I've given up trying to network my Vista machine with my XP machine, but I thought I would try it again. here are my symptoms again:
*Vista (Ultimate) machine cannot see XP (Home SP2) machine.
*XP machine can see and access the Vista machine.
*Xp machine shows up in the Vista Network Map, but not the Network Folder.
*Both machines can ping each other.
*I can access the XP machine via IP address, I can access the shared folder but not a shared printer.
*IPConfig for Vista shows that NetBIOS over TCP/IP is disabled even though it is enabled in the Network Adaptor Properties dialog. (NetBIOS over TCP/IP always enabled, the middle radio button)
Other information:
*Everything worked as it should once apon a time, then it all went to Hell. It could have been an update, tweaking software, or antivirus setting, but I notcie too late to do anything about it.
*I know it can't be that I don't have the same User/Password on both machines (I tried it anyway but it still didn't work), because it worked awhile back without having the same accounts on both machines.
*I had Bitdefender 2008 on the Vista machine, the Firewall log had entries that the ports 138 and 139 were being refused, despite having the XP machine being on the trusted list (by its IP address). So I uninstalled the Antivirus, but the problem persists.
*The XP machine has Zone Alarm Internet Security.................

I have the following issue and hope that somebody can give me a hint about what might be going on! My system has two raid 1 arrays - one is running on XP Professional SP3 the other one is running on Vista x64 Ultimate SP1. When I start my virtual machines (either from the Virtual PC console or when double-clicking the *.vmc files) than everything is working fine on XP and the virtual machines are booting and running as expected. However, on Vista the following is happening (and I hope somebody has an idea):
1. Starting the Virtual machines from the console leads to an immediate reboot of my host machine (I can't even see any boot screen of the virtual machine - it is like clicking start in the VPC console -- > reboot of host).
Now I tried the following:.........

It now takes minutes between key presses to type words. I went and made coffee while waiting for the machine to type '0109' And it eventually typed '00109'.
Everything is now 'not responding'. I have to exit the TV just to regain control of the keyboard.=20
How do I unload Vista's SP2 ?
It's screwed up what security did exist. Now there's no way to tell if it's a virus or Vista causing problems.
Whatever it did, I can only assume it made everyone decide anything's betterthan Vista's SP2.

I've just purchased a new computer and the system is telling me that Vista OS is the 32 bit version on a MD Athlon 64 x2 Dual Core 4400+. Was the manufacturer cutting corners by not installing the 64 bit Vista? And does this present any problems on system performance?

I have a problem with new vista machines unable to access existing machines. I used to have two desktops and a laptop all running XP and a network storage device. Each machine could share with every other machine and everything was fine.
One of the desktops and the laptop died, to be replaced by two new laptops running vista. So I now have:
1 desktop running XP Home SP2
1 laptop running vista home basic
1 laptop running vista home premium
1 QNAP TS-101 NAS
Everything is networked via a Speedtouch router with built in firewall. The desktop can access all machines. The two vista machines can share both ways between them. However, the vista laptop machines cannot access the desktop or NAS. They can see the available shares, but when you try and access anything, you get the following message:.............

HP Pavillion DV7 Notebook PC
Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q9000 at 2GHz (64-bit)
6.00 GB RAM
64-bit Vista Home Premium SP1
I am a computer application programmer and have a lot of experience with XP, but mostly as a user. This is my first Vista machine and I have little experience with Vista, but I can find my way around it...eventually. (I'm used to finding configuration options in XP and have to search a little to find the equivalent option in Vista.) Quite frequently, when I am using my machine, it goes into an "unresponsive" or "thrashing" state. By this I mean the hard drive light goes on continuously, and some or all all runnin applications become unresponsive (they don't respond to clicks and keypresses,eventually showing "Not Responding" in the title bar). Usually Explorer and the task bar and start menu remain functional but sometimes I get the spinning ring of death. Control-Alt-Delete causes the screen to go black for a few minutes before the prompt comes up.Sometimes this happens with the Task Manager open. Sometimes Task Manager becomes unresponsive too, but when it doesn't it appears to show only 30% processor usage, and only about 2Gb of RAM are in use.The most frequent program I use when not programming is Windows Live Mail, and the problem seems to crop up when I'm reading and browsing e-mails, and Windows Live Mail seems to be the first to exhibit the problems, but that's probably coincidence.No error messages. Is there a system log that I should be looking at? Sometimes in Task Manager I've seen WERfault.exe running - does this mean a background process is crashing? How can I get more info on that?
The problem started soon after I got the machine. The first time it cropped up, I turned off SuperFetch and the problem seemed to disappear for a few days, but after a windows update, the problem returned just as bad as before.
The machine never totally hangs -- if I wait around for a few minutes, eventually it finishes whatever was tying it up and all applications become responsive again. But this occurs quite frequently, 5-10 times per hour, and thus it is very hard to get work done.

I have a laptop running Windows XP SP3 and a desktop running Windows Vista SP1. After connecting them to access internet through a router, they both work well. However, when I want to share files between them, despite proceeding all the steps outlined in the following link, the desktop still cannot see the laptop yet the laptop can see and access the desktop shared folders.

I have an XP laptop (Wireless) and a Vista desktop (Wired) connected through a liksys wireless router. I can't get the xp machine to ping the vista machine. All firewalls are disabled and neither machine has any anti-virus or software. They both have connections to the internet and can even share files.
On the vista machine I have the network discovery turned on, the network is set to private and I have all the sharing options turned on. I even unchecked the "local area connection" to unprotect it from the firewall. (Even though the firewall is off). What would keep vista from responding to pings?

I had my own motherboard start playing up on a machine I use with Vista Business on it.I upgraded it from XP Pro Feb 2007. When it started playing up I changed the motherboard and CPU and thought that I would have to do a repair install, then install motherboard drivers and possibly have to activate all over again the same as you do with XP in this situation.Nope.I could NOT do a repair install on it and in fact had to lose the whole thing and install fresh!I have my own image backup using True Image 10 Home version so can get data back from there but it isnt the ideal setup.What happens, in the future, when a business with Vista has the motherboard go bang? They have to lose everything the way I did and start again? Talk about a BIG problem for Microsoft if so.So, after I quietened down I thought - no it must just be my mistake. I looked around and I cannot prove I was wrong.If there is a way to repair install so you can move everything to a new machine the same as you could for XP.

Have HP Pavioin with VISTA, one physical drive (C with four partitions on it.
C: is the one with VISTA
D: recovery
E and F - logical partitions for data storage.
Want to install XP into one of the existong partitions. However when the installation process come to the screen to select a partition it shows no partition at all. Instead it shows four things which look like drive placeholders, each saying that there is no drive in it.

Got an HP Pavilion with Vista Home Premium on it that suddenly doesn't want
to boot up after being perfectly alright for over a year. Nothing has
changed and I've not installed any new software (unless something has been
set to autoupdate and a new update has been pushed without me noticing).
It POSTs OK, then goes on to the black screen saying "Windows is loading
files" with a white progress bar moving left to right, and then moves on to
a black screen with the "Knightrider-style" progress bar (green bars moving
left to right) and the words "Microsoft Corporation" below it.
It then moves onto a blue screen - and stops. The machine doesn't freeze
because there's a cursor (normal white arrow) there and it can be moved with
the mouse, but no matter how long you leave it, the machine will go no
further. No error messages; no lockups; it just will not continue the boot
process any further.
I've tried booting into Safe Mode and it gets as far as a black screen with
the words "Safe Mode" in each corner of the screen but nothing else; no
icons, no text, nothing at all, no matter how long you leave it.
I've tried booting from the Vista DVD, selecting "Repair Installation" and
allowing the automatic Startup Recovery thing to try and fix it but it just
came back with the message that it could not fix it.

I was using my purchased Vista Ultimate just fine on my first PC. But I just upgraded the motherboard and pretty much everything else. Now it's a new PC. So I took my Vista install CD, installed it on my new machine. Now I can't activate it. It won't let me saying it's already been activated. I recall someone told me that Vista activation is tied to the initial hardware you install it on. Is this really the case? If so, there has to be a resolution to this as Microsoft can't be that stupid to restrict you like this. I mean how am I supposed to upgrade my fing PC!? What do I do? I don't want to spend $60 on a support ticket. I tried to put in my PID which also now it's saying has expired!

Strange behaviour, Vista 64-XP 32 network using Netgear Router. At Vista start up when XP is already running I am unable to see the XP computer from the Vista computer, even though the XP is seen on the Vista Network Map.
When XP is started after Vista computer is up then all is normal and correct. At all times the XP computer can see and access the Vista computer, the problem appears only when Vista is booted after the XP bootup.

I replaced it with a Vista pc. I thought that I would have no problem moving my data because on my other setup, I had kept all of my 'stuff' on a separate HDD (partitioned into 4 parts). Once I had gotten my Vista up & running, I felt ready to move-in my data drive from the xp machine. When I cracked open the case, I found that it was a sata setup -- my data drive was ide.
I got this Addonics IDE to Serial ATA Converter to 'make it work'. This converter is a small circuit board that plugs into the ide connection on the hard drive. You use all leads from a Y power plug to power the ide hard drive & the circuit board (the circuit board uses the small floppy) a sata wire plugs into the circuit board & into your motherboard. I changed the mode select from cable to master. (as directed in the feeble instructions) On my motherboard there are 4 sata plugins. 1 is my primary HDD. 2 was my DVD. I plugged the converted ide drive into 3. When I started up Vista. I got a black screen. I let it set for about 3-4 minutes........

I would like to move my current mobo and my Vista home premium to another machine. I have to do a clean install of Vista as the target machine has XP installed. I noticed that under computer properties the Product key is an OEM key. This key is different from the key that is on the back of the CD box with the Vista software . The key at the rear of the CD box is the same one as the back up key I extracted .Since the mobo and vista is move as a pair , will I run into activation problems?
