Entered Wrong Password, Now Can't Map Network Drive
Dec 31, 2009
I have set up a Windows 7 machine that shares out a hard drive as a network share along with printers to our network. On another computer I was mapping the network drive and accidentally entered the wrong credentials (wrong user name) and choose the remember credentials setting, and it would not let me map the drive.
I tried to go back in and remap the drive again but Windows is remembering the user name/password and I can't map it. I can map the drive from any other computer just fine. Does anyone know how to make Windows forget the credentials so I can map the drive?

I am attempting to setup Homegroup for first time on new computer, I was asked to set a password. The first pw was only 7 letters. It was rejected as requiring 8 letters. Attempted to re-enter new password and program states its the wrong password.When I go to the homegroup page there is no link to see and change password.

Here's the issue:The boot time on the Dell box (XPS 430 Core 2 Quad - 8GB Ram - Radeon 4000x series) was virtually instantaneous from the time I hit enter on the password screen till I see the desktop.However, the new box...Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50 GHz 8MB Cache/Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H Motherboard/VisionTek 900339 Radeon HD 6850 Video Card - 1024MB, GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0/Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 1TB 7200 rpm 64 mb cache/16 GB Dual Channel DDR3 PNY SDRAM at 1067MHz/1333MHz...takes almost 33 seconds from the time I hit enter on the password till I see the desktop!Now here's what really doesn't compute. There is less data in the new install, and the page file is on another hdd, in additon to the 8 core processor with 16 GB of faster ram & an 80% free 1TB HDD.
I've been trying to all sorts of different approaches to try to resolve the 33 second problem:1. Event viewer per this TechRepublic video: TR Dojo: Diagnose slow Windows 7 boot with Event Viewer | TechRepublic (no processes or programsindicated)2. Clean booting per this page: How to perform a clean boot to troubleshoot a problem in Windows Vista or Windows 73. Bios default settings (not many changes anyways)4. Manually checking ALL entries in the Device Manager for driver updates5. Checking all manuf websites for new drivers or windows updates6. Defragging7. Avast full scans and MalwareBytes full scans (always clean) x 58. Blowing out old restore points 9. CCcleaner Registry scrubs10. sfc/verifyonly - no problems foundBut nothing seems to work. Given that a clean boot didn't resolve the issue, I have a feeling it might be a hardware timeout, but I have no idea if that's right, or how to trace it (the stuff I google is way above my head).

Anyone have trouble connecting to a secured network? I setup WPA security on my network and can't connect even with the key entered. At the moment I can only connect via unsecured, cause I haven't figured how to manually change security type as in Vista. I'm using build 7068 x86.

I have a new Dell Unit XPS 8300 and when I got it, I had to put in a password in a "boxed" area before I started windows. I since removed the password, and now I want to put it back in a "box". When I boot up, I get "password or name incorrect" then i hit enter, then I can put in my password. I just want a "box" like it was before.

college are messing around with computers and are trying to get his personal one pretty much all on a starcraft theme. We have been getting pretty far, his OS is Windows 7 Build 7600. We want to get it so that if a wrong password is entered, it says "Access Code Denied" in the old starcraft synthesized-like female voice. We have the audio clips, but we need to figure out how to incorporate that sound. It's obviously not in Control Panel -> Sound -> Sounds, as I found out did some intensive googling, and I came to the conclusion that it involves a bit of registry adding and visual basicOn an event like "windows logon" there is a linked .dll filemmres.dll -5853Really it says this, verbatim:[CODE]

I have a toshiba satellite L505 it boots I get the password screen it's blue looks more like bios password it certainly not the windows boot splash screen I have tried a couple of password freebies it won't recognize cd rom, or flash stick...it goes directly to the old blue screen box like if you are resetting you use the f2 f8 f10 f12 key as booting, but that even asks for a password?

I have not set any passwords on the computer that is hosting the network drive.

I have Win 7 ver 6.1 (build 7600) on Desktop and I have a Linux server. I don't use a password to logon to windows.
I successfully mapped Linux drives using my Linux user (which happens to be the same as the windows user) but on Linux I have a password. All the mappings were OK (4 directories) asking me on each one username + password + ticking the box called "retain credentials".
All went OK until I rebooted, then a message pop-up that "could not reconnect all network drives"...appeared: => the old stupid message from win XP.
Ok I opened My computer and surprise: My user and my password from the sharing pop-up window were gone! I've inserted them again and all went OK.
I thought they solved the old windows XP problem which clears the user + password from the Network drive mapping IF you do not have the SAME password as the mapped drives.
What can I do to retain that User+Password combination for good in Win 7 Mapping?

When i installed the windows, i had no errors, nothing whatsoever. But when i tried to go on the Internet 1st it gave me error that i am in Unidentified network, and i could see my step brothers PC on the network, and could go in that drive, copy/paste etc.. but i couldn't access Internet. I am constantly getting error with "Wrong IP Configuration."
I got no idea why i am getting this. in IPv4 properties i chose "Assign IPs by default" (or sth like that)
my network submask is 255.255.255.0,
and it assigns me submask of 255.255.0.0 , and i dont know why
Not sure about /flush or /renew in cmd, but i will try that today too..

I have a Netgear WN111 USB wireless adaptor on my PC (802.11n NIC). It works fine with my WiFi network, but it always displays the wrong icon in the System Tray when connected. It shows the signal bars greyed out, with a yellow star on top. I have tried a Windows update on the driver, but Windows (7 ultimate) says it's using the latest driver.
Netgear only have a Vista driver for this NIC, tried this to no avail, same problem. I have no other NICs enabled on the box (wired Ethernet port disabled in BIOS and nothing in Device Manager). I have googled this issue and I'm not alone (and it's not just Netgear NICs affected). However all the solutions say remove & re-install the device. Done this, and it's made no difference.

I am connected, yet I see the not connected icon for wireless and wired internet: I have restarted, cleared icon cash, ended explorer.exe and restarted it. Does not effect usage, just annoying. Does this on every network.

So I've decided that I want to use a Western Digital VelociRaptor 150GB for my Win 7 OS C-drive and my WD 500GB drive as my E-drive for files.
The problem is that I thought of this after installing it on the 500GB drive.
Will it be okay to reinstall on the new drive if I delete Win 7 on the old one?
If so, is it pretty simple to reformat a drive with an OS on it?

Okay, I'm dual booting Windows 7 right now, as drive G: (Vista is C: ).
My problem is that installers like to use C: rather than G:, is there a setting somewhere where I can make my absolute main drive G:, rather than C:?
Some installers correctly use G:, while others (NSIS based, some others) use C: -- perhaps it's an installer issue, I don't know.
When I try to install Microsoft software, the installer extracts temporary files.. okay, but it extracts them to my external drive, and often they are not removed. How can I stop that from happening?

I installed Windows 7 X64 on my system where I first had a Vista installed on a 60GB partition on partition C of the first drive in the boot sequence. (two partitions C + D) And I have two other drives with only data H and P
When I installed Windows 7 I formatted the C partition and it installed flawless.
Then when I wanted to back an image, I found out that Windows 7 placed the bootmanager on the P drive. Removing the P drive an trying to fix it with the repair after booting from the DVD resulted in a message that this operating system was not supported. ?
After much searching I found that I could copy the bootmgr to the C drive.
Now my windows starts again as normal from the C drive. But I can see it is using some loader parts from the previously installed vista.
I would like to gave also this loader from Windows 7 but I cannot find how to get this done?
Is there anyone that has a clue?

I had my old hard drive installed in my Windows 7 computer. It worked for several months but now it started booting from the old drive that still has Windows Vista on it. My simple fix has been to unplug that drive while booting it up. Can I just delete the Windows Vista files?

I have a system which installed some boot files (i.e. Boot manager, Memory Tester and Windows Legacy OS loader) on the lowest numbered drive D: (the rest of course on C: which is the RAID partition where I want everything). I now know I should have disconnected the "D:" drive when I set the RAID up.
Anyone know of a sure-fire way of moving these files over without risk from D: to C: and then I can demote D: and remove the drive?

I installed windows 7 x64 RC a while back, and it detected windows xp and set up a dual boot. All was well.
I had a PSU failure, and i replaced the PSU. I set the BIOS to boot from the drive with windows 7 on it. It wouldn't boot. I set the bios to boot from the drive with windows Xp on it, and it booted to the dual boot screen.
Apparently, windows 7 placed the boot information on the old XP drive, so if i try to boot to windows 7 from the windows 7 drive, its a no go.
Now, this wouldnt' bug me so much, except that i want to replace the Xp drive with a larger 1tb drive. I don't need XP anymore, and do need storage (xp drive is 160gb). if i remove the XP drive, windows 7 won't boot. How can i fix this?

After a hard drive failure on a 500 GB hard drive, I restored the image onto a new 1TB hard drive.
Windows is showing the C: drive with 224 GB and partition D: with 225 GB.
I'm guessing that Windows doesn't know that it's on a 1TB drive now, so how do I get access to the missing 500GB?

I have one more problem with my laptop this time . i have a Dell xps 15 , i re partitioned it and made my C drive of 141 GB . i installed all the required application and from the last few days i was watching the there is less space in my C drive than it should be there. i checked out the properties and found out that only 32.6 GB of disk space is utilized out of 141 so there should be around 108 GB free instead it shows me that only 92.9 gb is free .i cleared out the temp folder and there is nothing except 3-4 files which is of some Kbs . then where is the rest 15 GB gone ? is there a virus in my pc which is eating up the space ? i am really freaked out
i have a genuine windows 7 ultimate and microsoft security essential and it is updated and i scanned it and found nothing . btw there is something more , few hours ago there was 94.8 GB free , i installed a game in another drive and i removed it after 2-3 minutes coz i didn't liked it , so after un installing the game i saw there there was 93.4 GB left in my c drive again , i removed files from the temp folder but nothing happened and now there is just 92.9 gb left ! what is happening ! i am really freaked out now

Two laptops / home premium / windows 7.Now when I try to access it I am prompted for a Network user name and password, the same promt giving details of my domain. This is not my homegroup password, I know where and how to find / use it. I have renamed pc's tried setting up homegroup again etc etc. Incidently I cant change the share options on any of my folders now, they are all locked to 'Nobody'.Can anyone help as it appears to have support from Microsoft for their product I'll have to pay pardon my igronance but if I sold a product with constant updates I wont charge for the support.

I've always thought of networking as one of the black arts.
4 PCs - One Vista, 2 Windows 7 Home Premium, 1 Windows 7 Ultimate. All see each other. All have appropriate folders shared.
Try accessing A from B and I get "Enter Network Password (to connect to B)". I never set one up to start with, so why is it asking me for it. How do I access/change something I never set?
Try accessing B from A - I see the PC, and the folders I want but trying to access them results in "You do not have permissionto access folder names Contact your network administrator - who he? Obviously me but I don't know what the answer is!
Trying similar things with the other two PCs in the mix results in various permutations of the same problem.
I have tried all the various links suggested through Networking and Help, but most of the actions seem to be boxes to click to make the PCs try to sort themselves out. When it fails I can't find a manual way of trying to sort it out.
Any suitable tutorials that may help? Couldn't see any.
