Hi all,
I have a bit of a problem with windows 7 professional x64.
When I first installed it some time ago I was able to set up a homegroup and share files on my home network with another win 7 pc and an xbox with no problems at all. All was good until I had to reinstall windows on my machine yesterday. For some reason when I go to the home group settings so I can chose what to share, I tick all the boxes and click save and when I go back to it all the boxes are unticked except for the streaming one.
Also if I want to manually share something on the network, and I rightclick on it and go share with specific people and I try to select the homegroup I get an error saying "windows was unable to find" but it doesn't tell me what windows was looking for in the first place.
Also if I try to acces the other computer over the network, I get a window asking me for user name and password. I didn't used to have such a thing the first time around. I don't understand what has happened and how to fix it.
I have first disabled then uninstalled completely my kaspersky internet security 2010 to no avail. I have deleted the files in the PeerNetworking folder to no avail. I don't seem to be able to get it going.
Has anyone come across this and if you fixed it can you please help me?
Cheers,
Lucian
