I was going to print something from my 7 test rig, and found I cannot access my printers on my network. My network is all XP machine's, and though I can find the homegroup for 7 on here, I cannot access it. I cannot find any XP rigs through the 7 machine, although all of the XP rigs have...

iconic resization the icons can be changed. left click on your desktop, then hold the alt key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to supersize or reduce the icons.

I don't know. The diagnose network connections was really helpful to me. It ran and ran, then suggested I contact my system admin, who would be me. So I contacted me, and then I figured out what the problem was. See if the diagnose tool was not there I would never have known to contact myself...

o.k. anyone have an idea on how to adjust the bass, etc. levels in WMP12? I cannot find anyway to adjust the settings. Thanks in advance

try running a memory diagnostic. sounds more like a hardware issue as you are loading the same software on another system with no problems Memtest86+ - Advanced Memory Diagnostic Tool

had troubel also but it runs now Interesting. I figured I would run it on the same system I beta tested Vista on, which to me was a good idea. With that in mind, the system I am running 7 on is: Mutant Rig M-Athlon XP 1900 1024 pc266 L7VMM3 mobo WD Caviar 80 gig Sony DRU-800A DL DVD/RW (4...
