Access to a computer to Win7 from VISTA

I have set up a home group on my new Windows 7 64-bit machine, and through it, I can access the shared folders and use the printer on my old VISTA computer, but the reverse is impossible. What should I do to be able to see the Win7 VISTA machine? The two are connected on the same LAN 100 MB and both can access the Internet without problem. I read the Microsoft HELP on what seems to be related subjects but do not understand enough of them to see what to do. I would be very grateful for something as I have to work my way through a checklist.

.

The following link includes instructions step by step for sharing files with different versions of Windows and can help (note the tabs at the top of each step): http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/help/sharing-files-and-printers-with-different-versions-of-windows

Note that the "Homegroup" Windows 7 is designed for use only when all computers that are running Windows 7, but that the sharing between the different versions can be done by following the instructions in the link above.

  • How can I remotely connect to a computer laptop win7 desktop Vista?

    Hi all.  My in-laws just got a new laptop with Windows 7, and I'm stuck doing technical support by phone two hours away.  A lot of problems with that.  First of all, I have Vista and it has win7, so I'm not sure of all the configs, etc.  Secondly, I must have read the screen for me and then try to understand what is happening.  I'd like to just be able to distance in, see the screen and tell them what to do, or simply to take control and staring at me.  Don't know how to do this, however.  Near as I can tell I have remote access enabled on my computer. the laptop is probably not yet.  I have my firewall to get through, and I know that I need to understand their intellectual property.  I will make a trip to their home soon and want to have everything ready for what I put it up so that I'm here.  So, what I'm looking for?  User account, the network permissions, etc.  Any help appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Got call from abroad voice asking me to allow access to my computer. Call from Microsoft said? Is this a scam going around?

    received a call from foreign voice asking me to let him access my computer, said that it was for my call from Microsoft. Wanted to help me with my problem.

    First I called Microsoft and don't think that they work this way. Also, this same thing happens to my friend here in Idaho a couple of weeks. Is this a scam going around and if it is why didn't Microsoft addressed the issue in a public way?

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Please see:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .

    Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.

    These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

  • Attempt of deletion, repartitioning of a pre-installed HARD drive for Win7 (from Vista Home Prem)

    Hello

    I just bought a 2nd hand Dell 1545, who had a virus on his Seagate 250 GB HDD that is preinstalled on the device from Dell.
    The disc has a healthy 39 M, a partition of primary health of 14.65 GB OEM partition and a 218,20 GB of free space, which took me 3 days
    to remove the handles of some unknown reformatting of limitation.
    The machine originally had Vista Home Premium SP1 on it, that I intend to upgrade with my copy of Win 7 retail.
    This is, as I understand it, Win7 need a 20 GB partition.
    How can I get the 3 partitions to merge and be a whole HARD disk, so I can create a new partition for the SYS OP to reinstall?
    I already tried this, nothing done... and I tried disk management, but that fails miserably, too.  Suggestions?
    The HARD drive contains nothing that I know that I already wiped the separate partitions as it became possible to do.
    Hope this is enough information for a person to bring their expertise to solve and that I'm posting in the right place.
    Thank you very much in advance for any help.

  • Webcam not available during upgrade to Win7 from Vista

    I have a dv6245us that came with Vista and included a built-in webcam of Ricoh.  A few months ago, I've upgraded to Win7 but does not check the operation webcam until today.  I use to use Quickplay to turn on the webcam but now Quickplay doesn't have the webcam icon.  A check of my devices indicates the webcam and it said its operation and an update, stated that the driver was updated.  I'm looking for a way to turn on the webcam.

  • We think our computer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8, but not sure if photoshop CS2 will still work? also how do I save it in a change because they say that I need to do a full clean instalation and I will lose all programs!

    Not sure how this forum works? Did anyone see my question?

    If you are in urgent need of help CS2 so my suggestion would be to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 If you ran it on a Vista machine already.  It is likely to complicate things and you may end up with a system that is incapable of managing these old software.

    You should see also the following about CS2 - basically, regardless of the copy you have is not a useful for a new installation.

  • Problem of access to the first database created on Vista computer

    Hello world

    I have an access problem to the first database, that I created on my Vista computer.
    First of all, my features:

    OS: Visa House (I know not officially supported, but I'm optimistic)
    ORACLE: 10g (10.2.0.3 for Vista)


    I am able to connect to the database that I created using sqlplus. However,.
    When it comes to a connection through other programs or even sqlplus by specifying
    the host and port, no luck. Of course, my first suspect was the TNS listener.
    (I already made port is open.) On the verification of my services, I see that it
    There are total three associated with Oracle:

    OracleDBConsoleexample
    OracleJobSchedulerEXAMPLE
    OracleServiceEXAMPLE

    After that, I went to check the logs in ORACLE_HOME/network/log/and it was empty. After
    I checked in ORACLE_HOME/network/ADMIN / (it's all uppercase, I didn't rename it or)
    No matter what) and it does not contain anything but sqlnet.ora. Just to be sure that the files are not
    hidden from Vista, I checked the folder of the virtual store for both my normal user and the
    the admin user and there is no oracle directory in two places.

    Now, I'm a bit at a loss, someone at - it something they can recommend?

    I know it's may not be really useful... but I uninstalled oracle and re-installed back and it worked like a charm... and also recommed creating the startup database during the installtion of oracle... .the orcl database... it works perfectly... just thought should give you this info...

  • Move from vista to windows 7 on the same computer. Is it necessary to make a "transfer"?

    I'm doing an upgrade on my computer from vista to windows 7.

    Am a little confused about the need to "transfer" of data to an external source.

    What is a precautionary measure, used to retrieve the data if something terrible happens?

    Or is it that, after the upgrade to windows 7, the data is then "transferred", back on the computer newly improved?

    I have problems since I changed my computer from vista to windows7... Sites game requiring shockwave remains... I get knocked off line every few minutes... Why? How can I stop this?

    Hot4Lefteris,
    The first thing I would say (if you have not already done) is to ensure that you have the latest version of Shockwave installed.  If you have still a problem, I would like to run IE without Add-ons and then put only the module Shockwave Player and the test.  Also, follow the other steps listed here and post back with the results.
