Win7-64 Home Premium OEM on a little desktop system at my home. When I rename file XXX, I get the message: Item Not Found. XXX is no longer located in c:\... Verify location and try again. Date created: xx-xx-xxxx When I click "Try Again" the rename looks complete. But it causes numerous...

Greetings, Many weeks ago I built a new desktop system around an Intel Clarkdale i5-650 and Asus motherboard. Installed a newly licensed copy of Win7-64 Home Premium OEM. After weeks of installing programs, configuring, etc, I find that Win7 is not the system on which I choose to place primary...

But wait! After all that insanity ... It seems to have taken on the lead (W2k) pc. I still can't do anything with the Win7 pc. Accepted an update for an Intel driver and it Crashed and Burned! Maybe tomorrow. Thanks, P

So I got my backup run, etc and I'm gonna take a stab at the static ip ... Aaaarrrggghhh! Worse that I thought. Followed your instructions, got: ERROR The IP address manually configured in the IP Address Range is not valid. Please enter a valid IP Address. The manually configured Subnet Mask...

I can understand why I would need lease a public ip addr for the router from the ISP. I don't understand why I would need lease a private (lan) ip addr. If it is unique in my lan and in the indicated range, why not set the damned thing and forget it? Searched the 2-wire manual: could find...

Was I be "messing with the WAN setup" when I swapped the old 2-wire for the new, only to find that I was shut-out from the net? The first thing I did before even considering the re-config. Perceptive of you. I have no problem with the concepts involved. You explain them well. It's just that...

Am I really in a position to specify all that given the ATT 2-Wire interface which looks like: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Private Network: If you change the IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on all devices on the network...

That was a help. No problem with netbios browsing *concept*. The 2nd system is W2k/sp4. It won't even allow typing \\192.168.nnn.nnn: it goes into crazy-search mode. I have a pre-Vista Win desktop and a Win7-64 (HP OEM) desktop at home. ATT DSL, 2-Wire router/gateway, all hardwired. Here's a...

You more-or-less lost me, here. Mine is intended as a simple Workgroup net for simple file sharing only. Why would netbios config change with only normal boot-up and shut-down? B-b-b-but, what are the implications of using static ip address for the net given present config?? P

How can I peruse the 100MB partition to see what they've done with it? Can one make Explorer display the 100MB partition?? Thx, P

It is set to "Never Notify" and it still gives me the "You must get permission ..." message when I try to copy c:\users\userX. Any help? P

I have a pre-Vista Win desktop and a Win7-64 (HP OEM) desktop at home. ATT DSL, 2-Wire router/gateway, all hardwired. Nobody uses this stuff but me. I've gone to a lot of trouble to set up a Workgroup definition and a shared folder for the 2 pc's (more than once). Got it working. Then the Win7...

I've got it set to "Never Notify" and it still gives me the "You must get permission ..." message when I try to copy folders. What did you do to disable? Thanks, P

Win7-64 HP OEM on a new desktop at my home and used -only- by myself ... Win7 and I are new to each other. I've heard that it is a good idea to run a user account in my circumstance and avoid using the Admin account for the most part. That's what I've trying to do, and it is a sizable...

There are all kinds of considerations, here. I am new to "cloning" per se. There may be semantic issues. Say you have 2 hard drives, with your normal usage bootable partition on disk 1. You clone that system to disk 2 using Clonezilla. Then disk 1 suffers a head crash, becomes a total loss. Is...
