32-bit vs. 64-bit Windows 7 Homegroup

I have 1 PC and 1 laptop, Windows 7 64 bit and able to create homegroup, no problem. I have two other PCs with 32-bit Windows 7, can 'join' home group, BUT does not display the other computers, which means 64-bit computers cannot see the 32-bit computers and vice versa. Any thoughts?

Olrac68,

Had some ideas on this one there...

Verify that each system has file sharing and printer enabled:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/enable-file-and-printer-sharing

You'll want to do this for each computer and each adapter network (wired and wireless).

Let me know if it helps!

  • How can I share files between two computer that running 32-bit windows 8 and the second running 64-bit windows 8

    I am unable to share files between 2 computers 32-bit and 64-bit windows 8. Please tell me a solution.

    The number of bits of the processor is not influence it.  If you are having problems sharing files, the bit of the processor is just a coincidence.

    What is the error you get when you try to share a file? And what method do you use to share?  Homegroup?  Right-click to stock option?  Or something else?

  • How can I disable the warning "this connection is not approved", which appears almost each time I try to go to a Web page via Firefox? I use 10 64-bit Windows.

    I just upgraded to 10 64-bit Windows. The version of Firefox that works now on this OS regularly displays a blocking window that told me that "this connection is not approved" when I try to connect to a third-party site. A screenshot of the window copy is attached. How to disable this warning? I can't continue to use Firefox if I can't find the 'off' switch, which so far has escaped me.

    Yes, this is the feature, and it is lit.

    How it works, is that ESET intercepts all your browser connections to filter the content. If it is an HTTP connection, it is transparent. For an HTTPS connection, ESET must present a certificate of 'false' for Firefox site so it can be the "man in the middle" and decipher and read the answer (otherwise, it's gibberish, of course).

    ESET is supposed to insert his signature certificate in both the Windows certificate store (used by IE and Chrome) separated from Firefox AND the browser certificate store accepts the false certificates. But it does not always work. In this case, you can import the certificate manually in Firefox. If all goes well, which has been covered in the manual, but otherwise it's basically along these lines:

    (1) search or save a copy of the ESET signature certificate (it is a file in DER format that usually has the .cer extension). Is your second screen shot what appears when you click View Certificate? Try this:

    • Click the Details tab, click the button "Copy to File. This will start the Export Wizard.
    • In the wizard, choose the DER format and save in a suitable location (for example, your Documents folder).

    (2) import the file into Firefox as follows:

    • In Firefox, open the Certificate Manager to:
      "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced > mini-onglet Certificates > "view certificates" button.
    • Click on mini - the References tab, then on the 'Import' button and find the DER file. Note: I suggest allowing the certificate for websites only.

    I have attached a few screenshots of reference sample.

    On http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU, you can check if your laptop is supported for Win8 OS.

    One more thing: your laptop is an Intel HM55 Express Chipset. It is interesting that Tecra A11 with PTSE0E part number has the same chipset, and it is supported for Win8 then you can try to use the chipset offered for this laptop Tecra driver.

  • Palm TX 32 bit Windows 7 Pro of XP Update: use XP mode? Or Win 7?

    I'm really good at making fatal mistakes with technology and my Palm is too critical to risk, so I bought a portable 32-bit, Windows 7 pro and XP mode installed.

    I've scoured the forums, but all I can find are problems/solutions with 64 bit (which is what scares me in the first place, of course).

    First of all, I should install in XP mode?  Or install Win 7 on a 32-bit computer will go smoothly?

    Secondly, can I use my original disc with the 4.2 version of Palm Desktop?

    Finally, for my peace of mind, you kindly check my checklist of errors, omissions or dangerous areas.

    (1) synch the device from Palm desktop

    (2) backup on my SDCard with NVBackup

    (3) open the XP mode - or do not open XP mode as you recommend

    (4) install Palm desktop (disc or download that recommend)

    (5) enter the same username as on the device / xp computers

    (6) change in Organizer substitute Office

    (7) with the sync cable. Make tea. Be calm.

    (8) check data on handheld and the desktop to find errors.

    (9) when somewhat confident everything goes well, return led to synchronize except for stays of backup as handheld overrides desktop. (not sure why, but it's the default I guess.)

    Thank you

    Off the hook

    SUCCESS!

    Thank you all very much. I danced around the kitchen.

    I had a few problems, and that means a question.

    After installation I plugged the cable in and upward jumped a box "Installing the driver software" telling me "software device driver was not installed successfully. I thought it was over, and that's my question. What does that mean? Because the next thing that happened, thought I had nothing to lose but hope, I tried a synch, and incredibly, it worked. I made a small change in the calendar and it synchronized at the back of the unit.

    He also tells me there is a problem with the quick installation then took me to do nothing.

    In addition, in case it might help someone, disable UAC in Win7 is slightly different from that of Vista. Go to "edit your user account settings" and set the cursor to "Don't warn.  At this time, I went on the internet for security. And it's a little annoying, because after that you have to restart the computer. And when HotSync is done, you go back to the control panel and restart and then restart.

    WyreNut, I smiled when I saw your post.  I always assumes that the volunteers on the technology forums (which, in a just world, would be paid buckets of moolah for their help) are early and that you would be all Win8 (and the curse, I suppose). But I guess that help you here because if something works (such as Palm) why spend.

    I kudo has you all and would buy you champagne if I could.

    Confused, but less.

  • HP Pavilion all 8 compatible 64-bit Windows developers?

    I already have 5 months 8 developers 64-bit Windows installed on my HP Pavilion a1585l. I upgraded to 2 GB of RAM 4 years ago. He works very well with different OS. The problem is that the original drivers are for older OS like Windows XP. So if I want to update a driver that it does not work because there is a compatibility issue. Is there someone who has experience with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 or 64-bit Windows 8 developers preview 32 or 64 bit on this machine?

    Respectfully,.

    Mr. Dutchie

    I found the driver for work. It is published before this post the most recent driver and he acknowledged the 6750M and what's weird, is... it is a driver OF HP's OFFICIAL! How could you say that there is NO driver for this model yet... ftp://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp59001-59500/sp59407.exe

  • Windows 7 32-bit Windows Vista

    Hello everyone

    I have a Satellite A500 - 15M, with a Windows 7 32 bit running on which has been upgraded from Windows Vista 32 - bit by Upgrade DVD from Toshiba sent me in January.

    I need to have my Windows 7 64 bit instead of 32 bit. I searched the internet on it, and I discovered that I can't do that unless I have a new copy of Windows, but the only disks I have are the Windows Vista RECOVERY DVD and the DVD of Windows 7 upgrade.

    Is it possible to get a new copy of Windows Vista 64-bit of my restore DVD, and then upgrade to Windows 7? Or do I need a DVD of 64-Bit Windows?

    I really appreciate your cooperation.

    Kind regards
    ALA'

    Hello

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with Vista 32 bit and 64-bit dual boot.
    If you have created recovery disks it will be interesting to know how many DVDs to disc you have.

    For example, on my Satellite A500-157 I have 4 DVD discs. In other words, I have a recovery disc for 32 and 64 bit Vista. When you start the first DVD, you will be asked which version you want to install.
    Please check if it works also with your recovery discs.

    If you have this option install Vista 64-bit on your laptop and use subsequently updated DVD and try to upgrade to Win7 64-bit.

    If please test and let me know if it works for you.
    Based on your response, we will seek the next solution for you.

  • Satellite C55-B1079 - 32-bit Windows 8 drivers needed

    There is no 32-bit drivers of Windows 8 for Satellite C55-B1079 PSKTWV-01D00LAR

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find drivers for 64-bit Windows 8.1.

  • Satellite C55-A-1R8 - lack of 64-bit Windows 7 drivers

    Hi everyone, I need your help guys.
    I just bought my new Satellite C55-A-1R8, computer PSCJEE laptop with windows that I hate windows preinstalled to 8.1 and intel cpu onboard, but because n3520 8 I decided to downgrade to the thought of 64-bit windows 7 I'll find all the drivers, but the problem is that there is no driver win 7 for this model of support and I think that I already tried all the others without success.
    My usb ports does not work and I can't find the drivers, windows cannot do either.

    My missing drivers:

    Enthernet controller
    PCI encryption/decryption controller
    USB universal serial bus controller
    unknown device (properties said on processor Intel (r) Pentium (r) N and J-series / processor Intel (r) Celeron (r) N - and)

    also my bluetooth driver seems to be ok, but I'm not able to install any software of Toshiba bluetooth for win 7.

    If somehow I could sort my usb ports would be perfect.

    Guys you have ideas where good drivers?

    Thanks in advance!

    At first, I must say Hat I just hope that you have created recovery DVD or USB until you started with OS downgrade. Problem is that now after the new operating system installation you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery image and one day if you want to have the factory settings you can have a big problem.

    In any case, I m wondering really you have installed before Win7, check if this older OS is supported or not. You can try now is to install the Win7 drivers available for other models of laptops.
    Try please install follow rivers:
    Chipset Intel HM70 River (should help with USB ports)
