Transfering Files Using Homegroup Freezes Computer
Dec 18, 2009
I have two computers with Windows 7 64 bit set up as part of a Homegroup. I can see the computers from each machine and even browse files/directories. However, when I try to cut and paste or drag-n-drop files from one machine to another one machine freezes and requires the reset button to restart the machine.
It is only one machine that freezes, but it consistently freezes every time I attempt a file transfer. The computer that freezes is connected wirelessly to the network. The other computer is wired to the router. I am stumped. I have tried all new drivers, latest bios, etc.

I have four Windows 7 machines with Windows Live Mail on each machine. I have been able to transfer my messages and contacts from one machine to another just fine. What I want to do now is transfer the message rules from one machine to all the others.
Does anyone know how to export and import message rules?

Here's the deal: I've bought a new 1.5TB hard drive for my PC to replace the 320GB one in there at the moment (turning it into a HTPC). Problem is, it's one of those mini-tower PCs and it only has the one hard drive slot. This means it's re-installation time!
So the question is, what do you lot think would be the best way of setting up Windows 7 on this new drive, hopefully keeping as much as possible of my current setup? As far as I can work out, my options are as follows:Use the Windows Backup thing to do a complete PC backup, installing Windows on the new hard drive, then restoring the system from the backup. Use a Linux live CD and use Partimage to create an image of the system partition which I can then put on the new hard drive and hope it boots (obviously once the MBR is sorted, etc). Just install Windows on the new hard drive and set everything up again from scratch. The hard drive arrives in 2 days, so what do you reckon?

I have no idea why microsoft does such simple things through the ass, maybe to make people go crazy. Here's the problem:
I have wifi network setup, homegroup with my blueray dvd player, xbox 360, 3 other computers (all windows 7). on homegroup options, I check marked all options, video, music, docs etc to be shared, and also to be streamed.
I made 3-4 folders in my drive (f) to put all my stuff in there that I wanted to share, but when I right click either of the folders and go to "share with" they all are set to "nobody" and when I click "sharewith homegroup" at buttom of screen something blinks as if another screen opened for a second- but nothing changes, it stayes on "nobody". Nothing fixed this. Not replacing securities, not remaking homegroup, I mean i've tried 100 different things and nothing seems to work.
Funny thing, on my xbox/dvd player - 2 of these folders are visable and I can play files in them, although they are both set to "nobody" as well. But others aren't.

I have a 128GB SSD for booting and games and a 1tb hard drive for storage. Because my OS is on my boot drive, the location for my videos folder is on the boot drive and I don't want to store my movies on my boot drive because of space constraints. I'm using homegroup to stream movies to my mother's computer. Is there any way I can stream videos from a folder in my storage drive or any alternative method for changing the root destination of the videos folder in my C drive?

Having difficulty with a homegroup and file sharing: one desktop PC with the family's main documents (which are on a separate drive to the system) and two laptops which need to access those documents. I've got them all seeing each other, and they can see the folders in the drive, but when I try to add files or rename files, it tells me that I need permission. I've gone through the advance settings to make sure the correct permission is selected, they all have the same workgroup name and different computer names. Sharing the printer attached to the desktop is fine.

I have my 2 PC's networked in a Homegroup. 1 is running Win 7 Home Premium 64, the other Win 7 Ultimate 32. I want to write to the Program Files folder on the 32 bit system from the Program Files (x86) folder on the 64 bit system. All other read/write operations between these 2 systems are succeeding. I have set up full permissions on both Program Files folders exactly as with other folders: Properties > Sharing > Advanced Sharing > Share this folder > Permissions > Full Control for "Everyone". I suspect UAC may be intervening. Is there any way to defeat this? My final objective is to automate synchronization between a few selected areas in these Program Files using my backup utility, SyncBackSE. It kept failing based on access denied, so I tried to drag & drop manually via windows explorer, and this is also not allowed. don't focus on questions about SyncBackSE - I am seeking help getting permission to move & change files via explorer.

I am trying to set up a homegroup for the first time on my Windows 7 Professional computer and it isn't allowing me to. After I select what I would like to share (Pictures, Videos, etc.), and click on the Next button, I get the pop-up error message "Windows cannot set up a homegroup on this computer."

I've got a really weird problem with the Homegroup feature of 7.
I've got 3 computers - 2 desktops [PC1+PC2] (wired) and 1 laptop [PC3] (wireless) - all setup on the same network, workgroup and homegroup. I setup the homegroup on PC1 and then joined with the other 2. PC1 and PC3 can see all PCs, but PC2 cannot see PC1 (but can see PC3).
So basically PC1 and PC3 can share files between all 3 PCs but PC2 can only share files with PC3 because it can't see PC1.
I've tried using the troubleshooter on all PCs and made sure the homegroup settings are the same on each PC. Is there anything I've missed or done wrong?
Also, I've just noticed that if I go to the Network section in Windows Explorer I can only see PC3 but if I type the address to PC1 (like: "PC1") I can access it. What's going on here?

I recently got Windows 7 Professional through MSDN-AA for my two computers (one 64-bit and one 32-bit license). They both installed fine and I'm really enjoying the O.S. so far - however, I have an issue. I very, very frequently transfer project files between the two computers (some of the visual files are pretty large) - so file sharing is important to me. I was excited when I learned about the Homegroup features and was eager to give them a shot.
No go
Both computers join the Homegroup fine, and can access one anothers shared folders. However, as soon as I try to actually transfer a file on the 64 bit computer (trying to transfer from the 64-bit to the 32-bit) the computer hard locks. No BSOD, but everything locks up (screen stays the same, caps-lock is non-responsive, mouse doesn't move). I have to hard-reboot to fix the issue.
I'm not having any other issues with the installation, except the Homegroup hard locking. Any thoughts/additional information requests?

I have a Desktop computer with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit and a laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
The Laptop can see the desktop, files and printer But the Desktop cannot see the Homegroup. The desktop does not have the option to allow remote desktop connections, I don't know if that is connected to the same issue or not.
When I try to modify the Homegroup on the desktop, I get the error message mentioned above. this computer can't connect to homegroup

I have a 2 computer setup both have successfully joined the homegroup I created. From comp A, I can access everything on comp B but comp B cannot access anything on comp A. I can see what's on comp A but if I try to go there it asks for credentials. Also tied to this (I assume), when I try and access the printer on comp A, the "Install Printer" button literally does nothing (screenshot).
I have no idea where to begin with this problem. The homegroup advanced settings are set up to share files and printers. I've allowed File Sharing in Windows Firewall on both computers. I've completely left the homegroup and made a new one.

i am having trying to get my homegroup setup on my main computer? from my understanding it is pretty simple (apparently not for me). i'm not getting the "join now" page when i go the homegroup in control panel. this is the only page i keep getting, i've pretty much tried everything but i keep getting this page, not the "join now" page. i've watched videos on Internet on how to do it but it's not doing what it is suppose to do.
i'm not sure but i think it might have something to do with my router?

I have 2 new Acer computers, both running Windows 7 Home Premium. I am attempting to share files on a homegroup for the first time.I can create a home group on either computer, but I get this message when try to join the newly created home group from other computer: "Windows can�t join homegroup on this computer " In other words, both can create a homegroup, but whatever the one creates , the other cannot join. One important note is that one of the computers does not have the three network adapters the other has. It is missing a wifi adapter although it has a wifi port. Could this be part of the problem? Following are the 18 steps I have completed to date, all of which were redone by a "for fee" networking service except for resetting the router (I had already done this multiple times). These are not necessarily in the order I did them and I retried creating and joining a homegroup on both computers between each "fix." I checked the status and network map on both computers between steps to verify changes were registered correctly by both. Various corrections were made along the way, but none worked.

I have a desktop with Windows 7 64bit prof. and a laptop with the same. I have setup the homegroup and I am able to access all files on the laptop from the desktop and vice-versa. My problem is, my wife who uses the desktop wants to save new documents in the laptop which I use when in the office. for example: wife got an email on the desktop with an attached document that she wanted to save in the 'my documents' folder on my laptop. So when she selects save as and then selects the location on my laptop through the homegroup connection she gets the error message saying you need permission to to this, we tried it the other way by trying to save a document onto the desktop from the laptop and got the same message.
I am not an expert by any means with this sort of thing so if the replies could be as simple and clear as possible, cheers.

how to access my desktop that is on my Homegroup. When I try to access my desktop from my laptop I get asked to "Enter Network Password". The password I used for my router and my homegroup are both not working and I tried changing my homegroup password without avail.
Can I just completely turn off the homegroup password? On both computers I have opted to turn off password protection for the network but it doesn't seem to change anything.
BTW, I can access my laptop via my desktop but just not vice versa.
I have tried to find user guides but nothing seems to help. I can't even leave the homegroup on my laptop which I find weird.

I have a laptop computer that indicates it is part of a homegroup. I would like to leave the homegroup but I get the error message "Windows couldn't remove your computer from the homegroup." The homegroup was started on my desktop and I changed the password. I expected the laptop to detect that the password had been changed but it didn't. So I tried to leave the homegroup to rejoin with the new password but I'm not allowed to leave.

I've placed two computers in a homegroup. Computer 1 can access Computer 2's shared folders, however, Computer 2 cannot access Computer 1's shared folders. When attempting to access the shared folders (with read/write permissions), I get the spinning wheel and then it just eventually says 1 item selected at the bottom of the explorer window and stops. The folders do not expand. They're on the same workgroup with no other computers, I read that they should be or something.

i have 4 networked computers (all connected through ethernet cables) They used to talk to each other fine. Now one (Call it KPC) is able to access all of the computers but none can access it. Another computer (RPC) says that it does not have permission to access it, even though i have all my file sharing turned on.
It used to ask me for a password and even though i would enter the correct password (the same on all computers) it said "logon failed: wrong username or bad password".
Also I have added KPC to the RPC homegroup using the password and it just doesnt show up on the RPC homegroup page. I really NEED RPC to be able to access KPC's everything (documents, printers etc) the rest arent a big deal at all. What happened and why did it just stop working??

Desktop comp. is Windows 7 Pro x64, laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium x32. Login passwords are the same. Homegroup was set up on the desktop, the laptop then joined. Homegroup passwords are the same. Both are members of "Workgroup" and are set as "Home Networks." Settings are per "Homegroup - Add Computer or Join"
The Windows generated library on the desktop, "Pictures" has five different locations in it, from three different drives. The "Documents"library has four different locations from three different drives, and the "Music" library has three different locations from two different drives. All the desktop libraries work as expected on the desktop.
All libraries, drives and folders are shared, and "Everyone" has all rights.
The laptop sees the desktop, and the three shared libraries. But it sees only one of each desktop libraries' several locations, the one that is listed first in the properties of the library on the desktop.
