I've found the solution to my network problem. In my other thread: ( Frustrating Network problem... ) I had a problem with an inconsistent ability to share between my desktop and my laptop. I can always get to my shares on my desktop from my laptop, but sometimes, I would not be able to access the shares on my laptop from my desktop. I have two other computers on the network, all running Windows 7 (3 computers running Ultimate, netbook running Pro). No problems with the other machines at all. All advanced sharing settings are set like this snip.
If I change the laptop to "turn off password protected sharing" and "Use user accounts and passwords to connect to other computers", I have no more problem. I guess the question is, why do the defaults work great on 3 machines but not my laptop? I kinda like that I have to enter user and password to access shares, but if it just won't work for my laptop, I'll forgo it.

Windows 7 installs million updates after format. How can I put these updates inside on my Windows 7 ISO file? Some people told that you can download manually the updates and copy them to Updates folder which is inside on ISO file. But I can not understand which updates exactly should I copy inside ISO. For example: If I put SP1 inside on ISO, should I also add the other updates which are published before SP1? I mean SP1 includes all updates before itself? I realised that after formatting-clean installation of Windows 7, first some updates are installing, after that SP1 is installing and after SP1 ome other updates are installing? So how can I find these update list or something...
I recently installed the latest version of the Super video converter and it forced installed this search bar called "Updated Search Bar". I have searched everywhere and cannot find a way to remove it. It is not listed in Windows Add or Remove programs list.
I was looking to download the new drivers for 64-bit version but the dell site is confusing me- some of the drivers they have in the list for my pc isn't for my hardware lol. Where's the best place to see which dirvers have not updated? Will they all show in device manager?
when I update a driver or go through the Windows Update, what happens to the old Driver? Can I delete/uninstall the old Drivers once I update to the current drivers?
Essentially, am I losing Hard Drive space after each update? Since as I update, I install which overlaps the older Drivers, so the size just keeps getting bigger and bigger after each update?
I have been a happy XP User for years. I took the jump to 7 and I do like it but I cannot get my networking working. I have a mac laptop that I used to use to easily stream movies etc - I just have a few shared folders on my network, my xp pc would show up on my mac and I could easily browse the shared folders. When I moved to 7 this no longer worked. Fistly it asked for a password when I had no system password at all - later I worked out how to get rid of that, I could see my pc on the network but then I could not see any files etc I thought it was just the mac but i also have a WDTV media player which browses the shared folders on my network in the same way, used to work perfectly on xp, now it does all sorts of strange things.
Along with the two new Phenom processors, Advanced Micro Devices today releases an updated version of its Overdrive software. Ready to use with Microsoft® Windows® 7
I updated my mom's computer & it was doing ok until she shut down the computer while it was updating. Now it have all types of errors. How can I fix this?
I just increased the memory on my laptop from 4GB to 8GB .My system does'T Recognize the increase in memory,can you tell me why? I have ddr3 installed.
I recently got a new hard drive (Seagate Mometus XT 500GB) to replace the old one (320GB) i had for my laptop. I had created an image backup using Windows 7. I restored the image to my new hard drive using my recovery CD to the new hard drive and everything was working just fine. Windows loaded up quicker and it was faster than before. Now when i open up My Computer and go to properties of the new hard drive, the capacity comes up as 287, which is my old one. It seems Windows does not detect the new hard drive.
I am trying to update my Dell Optiplex 760 to windows7, its gone easy so far, but now its stuck on the "Set up is preparing your computer for first use" Itll load up the windows logo, then i see an arror and then this pops up and it wont move past it

Here I am, bebopping around the internet (looking for a sleep remedy) and suddenly, a dialog box popped up, saying that windows was updating itself. It looked like a normal Windows screen, "updated" itself, shut itself down, and rebooted to the welcome screen. I did nothing to warrant this, I didn't click on anything unusual. There was no option asking me if I agreed, or wanted it to be done. I use the Norton Web Safe deal, so I do not visit any sites that have the little red warning flag. I've been ignoring some "critical" updates (ones Microsoft thinks, like an updated version of IE) for a while, but I've never had my machine just up and do this on it's own. I'm obviously concerned about a virus, malware or whatever, but do run a current version of Norton Internet Security, which is updated regularly. A full system scan was done yesterdaty, and a quick one this morning the seach found nothing but the normal cookies. Would Windows decide suddenly that it really really needed to update itself like this? Note, I was in a user mode, since I try not to log into the admin, to help avoid unwanted software installing itself.

When I built this computer back in the dark ages of 2007, I set it up to dual-boot Vista and XP. Every time I powered on, I'd get a prompt to boot into Vista or "older version of Windows," meaning XP. I'd pick one and go on my merry way. In 2011, I formatted the Vista drive, installed Windows 7, and deleted the XP install since I had XP mode in 7 if I needed compatibility. No more dual-boot prompt. I had no issues until last night, when I went shopping for a new hard drive. My motherboard, a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L, was running an old BIOS that has problems with drives of 1 TB or more. So in order to be sure I could use the drive I'm buying, I updated the BIOS to the latest revision, using Gigabyte's @BIOS utility to do it in-OS rather than through the boot menu.
When I rebooted, the system POSTed fine. But instead of booting Windows, it gave me the old choice between Vista or the "older version of Windows" - despite neither of those operating systems being present. If I tell the boot manager to do anything, it spits out an error since it can't find any OS files it recognizes. The BIOS itself seems to be fine - I'm writing this on the affected computer, running Ubuntu with a Live CD. I can see all the hard drives, open files, etc. I just don't know how to get the boot manager pointed at Windows 7 again.
I just got this Windows 7 machine in the last week. I installed my friendly Windows Live Mail, and the wonderful Synctoy. And I immediately discovered a problem.Synctoy wants to overwrite EVERY .eml file the minute I open Windows Live Mail.It looks like any touch of a folder at any level instantly resets the modified date on every .eml in the folder to the current date and time.It may be that Windows Explorer is doing it, but I think it is Windows Live Mail.If I save a single email to any level of the foler, all other emails in that folder get the same date modified.So I have hundreds of overwrites in Synctoy trying to back it up.I would like a fixI am Syncing between this Windows 7 desktop and my Windows Vista laptop. I don't think the operating system conflict is the problem. It worked just fine when the desktop was XP.
1. I have already installed Windows 7 on top of the Vista system that previously on it.
2. The mail database was NOT on the boot "C" drive...it was on another partition (D drive.
3. After the successful conversion to Windows 7 home premium, I installed and started Win Live mail
4 Win live mail works ok.
5. From the Win live mail client running on the Windows 7 system, I tried to import the folders from the previous win mail client that I was using while running vista:
Import messages window appears and progress bar shows the folder names being processed and when it completes with NO error message, the followning appears in the win live mail import window:
"Import Complete"
"Your messages were imported in "Windows Mail format"".
I then clicked on "Finish"
There are 3 items on the win live mail pain labeled "imported folder", Imported folder (1)" and "Imported folder (2)".
Clicking on any of those 3 entries tells me "There are no items in this View"
I have tried to click on all of the items in the pane and see NO folders.
My problem is that i needs to define my graphic card card ATI Asus EAH4890 every time i log on windows 7 and i can't launch any game before i install the ATI CCC ATI Catalyst Driver. This problem effects of the Aero and every time i log on windows it will be disabled.
Last night I set my computer to defragment my hard drive, forgetting that earlier that day I had enabled automatic updates due to a university policy that forces you to enable automatic updates to access the internet. Needless to say, my computer rebooted to update in the middle of defragmentation. Everything seems to be in working order so far, but is there any precaution I should be taking before attempting to defragment again, such as checking for any disk errors? If so, how would I do that? And of course I'll disable automatic updates this time. The program I was using for defragmenting was Defraggler.
I have a optical (for sound) and a HDMI (video card only can output video) going out on my comp to my home receiver. Everthing was working fine on XP but when I upgraded to Windows 7 64bit I lost the sound. I have updated the motherboard drivers and still nothing. The only thing i can see that may be a problem is when i go under Control panel> hardware sound> change system sound> properties it show that the S/PDIF jack info shows rear panel RCA Jack. I have my Optical cable plugged in. I have no idea if this is the problem but i cannot change the jack information.
So I updated my PC today and when it came back on there was no sound what so ever! My g35's still have sound but my Logitech Z5500 nothing, I have tried everything, updating, re installing the Realtek sound drivers, restoring the pc, even wired the speakers up to my partners media PC and sound comes through ruling out speakers.
I have tried upgrading the bios, been in bios looking around everything is enabled, in playback device option the green bar is filling up indicating everything is fine there. I have tried a SPDIF Optical cable, nothing, the standard black, green and orange cables, and nothing, I'm at witts end with the thing at the moment.

After I updated my Windows 7, I clicked the Crysis 2 icon and the message popped up: ""crysis 2 (TM) has stopped working." I believe it's something has to do with the update preventing me to play C2.
The short of it is that I reinstalled windows 7 HP, it booted up fine when no drivers were installed, I install drivers and it goes to starting windows, gets past it and just hangs on a black screen, no mouse, nothing.Tried using driver sweeper, removing everything and updating my drivers multiple different ways.This is a very new build, about 2 weeks old? Was completely fine until I installed a new CPU fan, but I don't see how that has much to do with it?ATi HD 7850 2GB is the card.
I tried updating the latest BIOS for Asus P8Z77-VLK under Bios EZ flash Utility, the CAp file is saved in a USB flash, after executint the CAP file, the computer restart and sound beeping from the computer inner speaker, screen blank, is it possible to recover it?Os = win7 64.
I have a pc running windows 7 pro 64 bit, I received a update from windows and when the computer rebooted my monitor and key board will not work. I don't know what to do now, I can't even get it to boot in safe mode.
