I just tried to share some files with my Desktop (Win 7)PC from my Laptop and I get this pop-up asking for username and password yet my other desktop (running XP) works fine. The Laptop (Win 7)shows up in my network on my desktop but just can't share either direction.
I have started a homegroup on my PC but I can`t see anything on my laptop to join to, Is there any thing I`m Missing ? I`m Using an ADSL modem-router And I can ping both computers from each other. also I`m Using nod32 as my antivirous-firewall and I even tried creating a homegroup when the firewall was disabled but it didn`t work.
I'm having trouble sharing custom libraries between my desktop and laptop PC. When I choose one of the default folders to share (Documents, Videos, etc) I can get those shares to show up on my laptop. However, when I try to share my Apps folder instead of getting this when I click the "Share With" drop down box...
I only get "Advanced Sharing"? I can't figure out why... does anyone know?
I have a home group network consisting of a vista laptop and a Windows 7 desktop.I recently had to do a reinstall/upgrade Windows 7 on the desktop.The file sharing works okay except for one problem ... I am no longer able to share the My Pictures folder on my desktop with the laptop. I've repeatedly tried to set the share and advance share options on the the desktop's My Pictures folder, but it still will not work..I keep on getting the same window message "Windows cannot access \DESKTOPMy Pictures"When I press the Network Diagnose button I get a message that says The user account you are logged in with was denied access Make sure you have permission to access the shared folder?
I have two windows 7 computers. computer-A is connecting EPSON printer and I have enabled the file and printer sharing function. The file sharing function is working fine. Then I tried to add the printer in control panel on computer-B, it sees the epson printer but when I try to install the driver (download from computer-A) then it say unable to connect. I have try it on different computer-C it is saying the same thing. What should I do?
I have installed the EPSON driver in computer-B (hoping it would work)but still after the install the driver (download from computer-A) by itself then it says unable to connect the printer.
I have setup all the computers with the group name of WORKFROUP. You may wonder why I don't use the Windows 7 Homegroup, it is because I have some XP computers need to use that computer-A's printer. how to make the printer sharing works. [URL]
Have recently bought a Cobra CIR 1000A internet radio that works fine connecting wirelessly for radio stations. Problem 1 is in the instruction booklet it explains how to setup Media Sharing and PlayMusic on the Internet radio for WMP 11 . No mention of WMP 12 which I have installed. Radio has latest software installed.WMP 12 reports no media devices found. The fact the radio plays stations ok is proof enough that my network sees it all right.I have enabled and disabled everything and am now at a loss to how to fix it.Am thinking of replacing WMP 12 with WMP 11 but am obviously using Windows7

Two Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit computers on the same network, the desktop has a printer shared that the laptop would like to access. The oddness began after I managed to get the laptop to access the desktop via Start > Run > \desktop, successfully connected up the printer via filesharing and tested it, but every time I restart the laptop it decides that it can't find the desktop any more.
With an open link on my desktop I then go to open a new tab and the open link appears in the new tab instead of my homepage.How do I make it so my homepage appears instead?
still using IE 8 because Zonealarm toolbar doesn't work on IE 9 as yet. Her Homepage msnine is suddenly, in the last 3 days, showing "italicized" writing in the news headlines. My msn9 homepage with IE 9 has the normal font. Can anyone inform me what has occurred and how to fix it?
Recently, my IE has changed to MSN.com and the IE pages are not full-page. I have go to IE Tools and Internet Options to change my homepage back several times, but this has not worked. Also, I have drug the pages to the bottom of the screen but each time I open IE the pages are not full-page. I think that I may have inherited some malware, but Malwarebyes and Spyware S&D have found nothing.
This afternoon when I got online and opened Internet Explorer to my homepage the entire layout was changed, I do not know why since i have not upgraded or downloaded anything new, I have windows 7 Professional, and use Internet Explorer 8. Does anyone know how to change the looks of IE8, I have done system restore and all the other resets that I know. The page color changed, the layout has changed and it has all sorts of things I do not wish to have on the page, even the font size seems to have changed. I run Norton 360 2012 and have good protection.

I have recently noticed the MSN homepage will override at random any other website I am viewing. This is very annoying if I happen to be filling a form out, or buying something online. I must have sent at least 5 or 6 emails to MSN but have been totally ignored so far. In fact whilst typing this it has already returned to homepage and I had to toggle back to continue writing! I am using a Dell Inspiron PC with pre-loaded windows 7 and ie9. This has only started happening in the last month or so and I haven't installed any new software to cause this.
Not too good on computers .When I open an external link such as Tech Guy my tool bar and favourites are above with the Tech Guy link which is open below. When I post my external links on a public thread and open up my own thread posted ,it shows the external link yet again below my toolbar and favourites I always understood when you open an external link it opens in its own page. I have windows 7 on my laptop and desk top and both are showing the toolbar and favourites above as stated with external links. They both share a the same Reuter. I dont usually have the desktop and laptop swithched on at the same time. When I open a favourite link on my toolbar, it does not open into a separate page and yet again the toolbar stays above and the favourite link is open below. Is this normal with windows 7 or how can I ammend to have a separate page with external links.
When I first turn on my computer, I click on my homepage icon to take me to my homepage. I only get the toolbar and I have to drag the rest of the page down. If I want to look at something else on that page, I have to pull that page down to read it. If I want to go to another site after pulling down my homepage, the other site will fully load. This started happening over a week ago.
I did try adding this to an old post that was the same discussion but it was too old to post on it looks like so thought I would make a new thread as I didnt see the new solution anywhere and it seems to get asked a lot In Firefox you can now change the new tab homepage via the config page (only works in 12.0) Change homepage for firefox new tab | computerlearnhow.com
My IE is freaking out. I use msn as my home page. The normal scrolling topics won't scroll or even show the buttons to make them scroll. When I try to go to hotmail, it tries to open the sign in page in another window but it opens to a blank page. Finally, when I tried to set up my account here it would not even show the "prove you're a human" script at the bottom. All of this works fine on FireFox.
