Well actually I had the passwords blocked out. I activated them with the same user name and password and got it to work. Not sure why it has to be that way but it is working so who am I to question it. Thanks much!

I have a Win 7 Pro 64 desktop and a Win 7 Home Premium laptop networked ( via workgroup not homegroup) I went to add a Vista laptop to workgroup and it asks for user name and password. Everything is set for no password, all folders, drives etc are set for sharing. At one point I was able to view...

Yet again, another issue resolved by sheer determination. I guess the answer to this problem is that there is no dedicated eSata port on the mother board. Therefore the eSata connection has to be made externally BEFORE the system is powerd on so the Operating System will know it is there. I was...

Ok, so maybe I am not an air-head after all. Once again my perservearance paid off. Actually I went in to the public folder to see how permission was granted and the light came on. For those having trouble like I have had, this is the answer. For Windows Vista Users: Oviously make sure file...

DAvehc, I can see my "Desktop" and my "Laptop" in Networking. If I click on each of those I can see all the shared drives, folders and files. They are all there as shared. If I am on my Destop and do this I can access all the files on my Laptop. If I am on my Laptop and do this I can see all...

Ok well I just read where it said if you can access the public files and folders but not other drives, files or folders than it is a permission issue. So knowing that I am out of things to do as I have give all the drives, files and folders all the permission I can unless I need to add a...

Yes, sharing is on. Everything is on. The error reads: "Windows cannot access \\Desktop\C check the spelling of the name. Otherwise there might be a problem with your network. To try to identify and resolve problems click Diagnose. After clicking Diagnose: "C" is available but the user account...

I guess I must be a real airhead. I have read those articles but I must still be doing something wrong. I have given permission both in sharing and security. In sharing it says "Everyone" and I gave that entry full control. In Security, System, Aministrators (Desktop/Adminstrators) and Users...

Ok, after batteling numerous hardware and software issues with my new Vista Home Premium computer I am now getting down to setting up my new Vista network. I had no problem with my XP machine but this is a tad differrent. I have a Vista desktop with a wired LAN connection to the router and a...

Davehc, Well thanks for all the info. I bit the bullet and did a fresh install (for the 3rd time due to a combo of hardware and software issues) I am happy to say it all went well. I have everything loaded without a hitch and I still have windows remembering the window size. I am making a...

Davehc, After I made the last effort by turning on UAC, I went back into User Accounts and turned UAC off from there. I also tried to see why I might not have global adminisstrative privledges. During my hunting and pecking I noticed that my guest account had been turned off. I think that was...

Once again I was able to come up with my own resolution. I went into Realtek Audio Manager and clicked on Speaker Fill and Enable Bass Management and I was able to get sound out of all my speakers. Apparently songs from .mp3's or CD are just in stereo anyway thus I didn't hear sound coming from...

I have a new computer but I am using my old Dell 5.1 speakers. I am running Vista Home Premium, I have an Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT graphics card, Realteck High Definition Audio Sound (integrated) and a HP w2207h Monitor. The monitor output is HDMI or VGA. The Nvidia input is only AVI. I have a...

Ok well further research determined this is another Vista Issue. I have a wireless keyboard and mouse. This is a know issue that when using a wireless keyboard or mouse Vista will not allow the screen saver or the sleep functions to work. The fix is an optional download from Microsoft Windows...

After trying the above mentioned actions, I tried to undo the UAC and the system would not let me get it. I had to go back to another restore point. It was then that I read (I think) that you have to have another account for the Administrator to have Administrator privledges. I noticed that my...
