Already checked Brink's tutorial but didn't see this issue: my "share" button on the sharing tab is slightly greyed out and not clickable... i know i've taken care of this before but i just can't remember what to do about it?
View 6 RepliesI primarily use Yahoo! to chat, but the thing of it is... when I maximize the screen, the border falls off the screen slightly - the name of the contact is half missing, the right and left lip on the window disappear and a large chunk of the bottom is eaten by my task bar. When I load a conference, the same holds true as well, but so much of the left side falls off that the first letter of the first word I type in the message box disappears. I know that my description might be a little hard to visualize, so I'm including a picture to show you what I mean. I will add a pic of the con when I get a chance. What I want to know is this: is there a way to edit this so it fits on my screen better? I have a wide screen HP laptop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedAbout 5 days ago my windows mail (in Vista) stopped having clickable hyperlinks. I thought if you went to the "advanced" section in the tool dropdown menu, there was a spot to reset that but when I did, the list of advanced was much shorter than I remember it being in the past?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have Vista Ultimate I have installed UPS softare to manage the shout down of my PC but Windows has blocked it from starting.
When I click on "show blocked programs" the blocked program is shown but when I highlight it, the option to "Allow" is grayed out.
How do I get Windows to allow the program to run, I have tried setting the exe file to "Run as administrator" but it did not work.
Having noticed that some of the automated tasks I had scheduled were not running, I opened Services.msc and looked at Task Scheduler which hadn't started. Selecting properties showed all options greyed out. I can't select Automatic, Manual, Disabled or anything. The contents of all other tabs are also greyed out. All dependencies are running.

They are there, they show up perfectly in the preview pane, I can rightclick and save them individually from the pane. However, in the Save Attachments list the images are listed correctly but greyed out so I cannot do a multiple Save anymore. Any clues to this strange and unwanted behaviour?

View 8 Replies View RelatedNetwork of two computers, a desktop running vista home premium and a laptop running vista basic. I am the only user on each of the computers, my user account name is the same on both computers and I don't need a password to log on. File sharing is 'on', password protected sharing is 'off', and I have shared the 'documents' folder on both machines
When I view my network I see both computers "PAUL-PC" and PAUL-LAPTOP", when I select the one I'm not working on I see "Users", "Documents" and "Printers". When I select "Documents" I see "\PAUL-LAPTOPDocuments is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource....... etc."
I tried post on maintenance etc but got no advice Any ideas as to why I suddenly have this need to keep resetting the network adapter via network sharing? (I am sure its associated here) I have just changed ISP and their supplied router is both wireless and Ethernet. My previous was Ethernet only. I only use Ethernet at the moment but network
sharing keeps identifying two networks. I cant merge or delete as that option is greyed out.
I am the only user on my laptop. I accepted the Toshiba settings when I bought the machine, but I realise that there are a number of features that are disabled that (as an administrator) I should be able to use. for example:
1. Windows Defender will show me the details of start-up programs but not allow me to remove/enable/disable anything (the buttons are greyed-out/disabled).
2. There are some folders (e.g. in my internet favourites) which are read-only and when I switch read-only off, it ignores what I've done - they remain read-only.
I have just received my Gateway computer. Hard drive (300 GB) is partitioned into C 290 GB and D 10GB. I want to change that. Using Disk Management I used 'Shrink volume' menu reduce C drive to 180 GB and received 110 GB unallocated space. Now I would like to add that unallocated space to D drive, however "Extend volume' menu on D drive is greyed out.
View 6 Replies View RelatedBasically, I tried to create a new Primary Partition on my hard drive, using the Shrink tool. I was told to do this via a tutorial. Something went wrong, and now I've got 30GB stored in three separate partitions that I cannot use. Not only that, but Disk Management now says I have five Primary Partitions. When I right click on these three partitions (which are nameless by the way) the only option that isn't greyed out is "Delete Volume".
View 8 Replies View RelatedI want to be able to move a file across my home network (both PCs are Vista). I have shared the destination folder with "Everyone" to be a co-owner. I do not have passwords set up. I can "see" the destination folder across the network and can open documents in it, but it will not allow me to move files into it. The weird thing is, I encountered this for the first time a couple of days ago. The folder was shared, but I could not move a file into it.
That was when I looked into sharing and realized that I had to change permission lever to "co-owner" in order to create documents. Once I updated the sharing, I was allowed to move the file. However, today I am not allowed to perform the very same action; I get "Destination Folder Access Denied, you need permission to perform this action".
I have a new computer, Vista that I can't get file sharing to work. I have it turned on and can see the computer but when I try to access it I get the message I don't have permission etc. I did get print sharing working. The computer I'm using that I'm trying to access from also has Vista. It's the one with the router. I have a notebook on the network, xp, which I can access just fine. The "new" computer I can see the other two computers and access their files. I have everything checked correctly in the network card. I've turned off my firewall and disabled Kaspersky.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a PC running Vista Ultimate x64. Attached to that PC (via USB) is a HP Photosmart C3180. My wife's laptop is running XP Professional x86. I am trying to allow her to print to the printer attached to my Vista x64 PC. I install the printer properly and confirm it working on my Vista x64 PC. I then share it out under the name HPC3180. I disable password protected sharing and under the security settings of the printer I give "Anonymous Logon" permission to access the printer.
I know generally I would have to specify the x86 version of the driver under the "Additional Drivers" area in the properties of the printer; but in this case I do not know where to get the .INF files. I can download the drivers for the 32 bit version of XP from HP's site, but they aren't self extracting EXE files so I cannot get the INF file out of them to use. I even tried setting it up (on XP x86 laptop) as a "Local Printer" with a "Local Port" that points the printer. I then tried to use a variety of older and generic drivers. At worst it refused to print entirely. At best I got some sort of seemingly random output from the printer.

i have a couple of problems now, both very annoying:
1) my pc does not connect to the internet when i wake it from sleep. It requires me to shut down and turn off power completely, then reboot. My previous install of windows was fine
2) my pc is set up (as far as i can tell) to file share. to see other computers AND share. I cannot see other XP machines on my network, they cannot see me. Before i reinstalled it was also fine. I have tried so many different things now to rectify the problem but nothing seems to solve it
I'm a little annoyed at microsoft to be honest. I've put up with so many problems and worked aorund them, but sleeping and file sharing - two features which they used to sell vista have given me such problems recently.
old computer newbie has desktop with xp hardwire connected and new laptop with vista wireless connected. printed is hardwire connected to old computer. so far I can only create a network showing new laptop and the new router installed between the old external modem and old computer. I really want to be able to use old printer from my new laptop.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWe have a combination wired/wireless home network in my house, consisting of 4 computers, all connected through the router which connects directly to the internet. The configuration is this:
Desktop1 - connected directly to router, running XP
Desktop2- connected directly to router, running Vista
Laptop1 - connected wirelessly, running Vista
Laptop2- connected wirelessly, running XP.
As of right now, Desktop 2, Laptop1 and Laptop 2 have no problems sharing files with each other. Desktop 1 can view all the other computers shared files, but Laptop1 cannot
view any of Desktop 1's shared files. I consistently get a "denied access" message.
I don't know if the other computers can access Desktop1 (they aren't my computers). It's most important to get Laptop1 and Desktop1 to share files. All computers have shared files/printers on, with password protection off, and I've gone through the network wizards over and over.
I should mention that Laptop1 can *view* Desktop1 on the network. It sees it, it knows it's there...but the Desktop will not allow access, even though the files on the Desktop are set to be shared. I also tried turning the firewall off, and it still would not grant access. None of the other computers are having issues...there's go to be a solution to this, I'm just not finding it.
I have 3 computers sharing a printer through a Netgear print server - PS121. The three print fine - they run Windows XP. Now I want to add a Windows Vista computer. However, the Vista computer does not "see" the print server. Do I need to attach the print server directly to the Vista machine for installation and then go back to the traditional setup w/ the Print Server as a network device?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have very similar question to one below, but the other way around. I have a network of four computers: Prospero (Windows Me), Server (Windows XP pro), Miranda (laptop/wireless, Windows XP pro), and Sound (Vista Home Premium). Sound only sees the XP computers in the mapping facility, but does not see their shared volumes, so I can't use them. It also doesn't see the shared volume of an Iomega network drive.
All the others can see the shared folders on the Sound, although Sound won't accept the password entered from Prospero (Windows ME) so it can't open the shared volumes. I've tried with and without password access to the Vista machine. I want to upgrade Server to Vista Business, but I'm not going to do this until I can fix this issue. (I've gone through all the troubleshooting steps.) As an aside, if I try to mount the network drive using the Iomega utility, it says Network Service not started, but it doesn't tell me which service. The event list doesn't really help either.
I have windows vista home premium and two users accounts on the pc. Is there a way for my calendar to be viewed and /or updated by the other user on this pc? I have outlook 2003 and I know that I can't set up my calendar for sharing to someone on another pc without going thru an exchange server. However, I was hoping that because my wife and I were both users on the same pc that she would be able to have access to my calendar when she was signed on in her own account. Also, because I can't share my calendar without going thru an exchange server I was hoping to be able to export my master calendar that I have on an older XP desktop and bring in onto my vista laptop. For some reason even though the export files seems to have all my entries, it only puts some of the items into my calendar on the vista laptop.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI realize this is a Vista group, but I can't seem to locate any MS Win7 group with my NG reader (TB). On my Win7 machine (Win7 Home Premium)I have marked several folders as being shared, and they remain shared at all times, but there is absolutely NO indication of the folder being shared when viewed in Explorer on that computer. In previous versions of the OS there has been the 'palm-up hand" and the little 'whatever it is' in Vista but nothing in Win7. Is it something I have to turn on somewhere, or is it just that Win7 provides no visual indication of sharing on a folder?
