Took your advice and set removal policy to "quick removal" and now drive no longer disappears after use. Thanks.

Not sure how to phrase this. Have a built in flash media reader that shows in windows explorer when I first start. After using it with a memory stick pro and then remove it using "safely remove hardware and eject media", device no longer shows up in widows explorer and doesn't see the next...

Fired up all the computers at the same time and wouldn't you know this was coming, they all saw each other;). None of the XP computers could access the W7 computer; someday I'll configure it but for now only need to import files to the W7 computer. Don't know if this will be permanent or if...

Yes all the XP computers see each other and the Windows 7 computer. Have been spending just about all my spare time playing Dragon Age: Origins and haven't done much about the networking problem the last few days. Will try to fire them all up at the same time and see exactly what I've got...

Halo 2 Did a complete reinstall of Windows 7 and now Halo 2 works just fine. Think the problem may have something to do with CCleaner. Read somewhere that CCleaner removes some files that are needed for other programs to run. Am too lazy (and spending too much time playing Dragon Age) to run...

Thanks to all who responded. Still can't figure it out. Reinstalled W7 and it sees my wife's laptop which is connected to network wireless but won't see my old desktop that has its ethernet cable plugged into the router in the slot next to the W7 computer. Old desktop sees wife's computer...

Thanks. Had too download and run dxwebsetup.exe from Microsoft to get it to run.

Trouble, downloaded and read it. Might have missed it but all I saw was how to get XP to access W7 computer files. Might have missed it but didn't see anything specific to my problem. Have my power set to high performance. Would that have any effect? Lindsay, Thanks for the reply...

Trying to install Civ 4 on Windows 7 64 bit oem computer but civ4 can't detect directx11 and wants to install directx9. When I decline to install directx9, programs quits and won't let me go any further. Under the impression that I can't install ver 9 over ver 11. What would happen if I...

Can't get Halo 2 to run. Some sort of problem with windows live. Noticed that some of you say you can get it to play. Any suggestions. Have W7 64 bit oem and new install of Halo 2. Installs OK but can't connect to windows live. Forget the exact message and have since uninstalled game. Thanks.

Thanks, Downloaded the doc file and will check it out.

Can't get my Windows 7 computer to see my XP computers on home network. XP computers can see W7 'puter but can't access it (under impression W7 only shares with other computers running W7) but that's OK cause I need to get files off old computers not from the new one. Thank goodness for flash...
