I thought the fashion was for Robots to possess AI. Responses that do not take account of the informtion provided are hardly 'I' For example W7 would not see W10 and W11 if network discovery and file sharing were off or SMB - Win7 is the one machine that sees the others The results: Network...

I have 3 computers (W11Pro, W10pro, W7Ult) connected on a private wireless network W11 cant see W10 or W7, It can also see the printers and the router. W10 cant see Win11 but it can see W7 (and the printers and router) W7 can see both W11 and W10 (and the printers and router) W10 and W11...

Does not boot. Instead generates request to repair Attempt to repair does not find a windows installation So how do I repair the installation?

HP Laptop (so its not possible to remove hardware!) Following other suspicions in various places I - copied the install files from the USB to the HDD - removed the USB drive and all other attachments - changed the video display driver from NVIDIA to standard VGA started again and it went past...

Hi I had a similar problem (see Link Removed) and the full thread Link Removed After several days of hair tearing, I replaced the router (Thomson 760W with 3Com) and the problem went away HTH

In desperation, I tried replacing the router (i had an old 3com router lying around) and the problem went away. So I guess it was a router issue but whether it was a router settings issue or a more basic fault, I guess we will never know

Windows 7 XP wirelss connection problems [SOLVED - sort of] I have a 3 PC network (no WEP or WPA security) attached to a Thomson 760W wireless router with the latest Firmware (6.3.27.2) 2 PCs (Angua and Carrot - dont ask!!) run XP SP3 (all latest updates); 1 PC runs Windows 7 Ultimate (all...

Re: Drag & Drop works for Hidden Administrator but not for Administrator user SOLVED So much for Windows 7 Enterprise and Windows 7 Ultimate being the same The jet Toolbar application works fine under Windows 7 Ultimate but has the symptoms described under Enterprise. Presumably the default...

Link Removed - Invalid URL I can offer another piece of information that may help. I have just noticed that if I run the toolbar as a hidden icon on the task bar, it sort of works in that if you click the icon you get the toolbar categories and if you then hover over one of those you get the...

No - I don't think I did. Sorry for the incomplete info.

This (TakeOwnership) is what I used to take ownership (as described in the original post) Just to be sure, I have uninstalled the app, deleted all traces and reinstalled the app for 'all users' as a normal user with Admin rights. I have then used "takeownership" to take ownership of the...

Yes. makes no difference. Windows selected XP SP2 (in its infinite wisdom) but the problem remains. The idea of starting up XP emulation is very definitely sledge hammer to crack a nut and I don't propose to try. The fact that it woks under the hidden Admin account suggests (to me at least)...

Fascinating series of options I never really examined before. Sadly, however, "Enable context menus etc" is ticked. Thanks for the thought

I use an old XP app (JetToolbar - available at JetToolBar - Free software downloads and software reviews - CNET Download.com) and do not want to change but I cant make it work on Windows 7. The application installs and starts up just fine but it is not possible to drag icons/programs/files to...
