• Cannot connect to the local file and print when the domain controller is not available because the network connection

  Hi all
  Having problems for local users, connection to a file and print server in one of my satellite offices.
  When my t1 connection is disrupted (problem of local carrier) my users when the connection is down to connect to the file room and print and always have access to their files and the local printer.
  The domain controller is off site in my main office.
  Environment:
  All local desktop clients are windows machines 7.
  Printing and local file is a windows 2003 server.
  DC is window 2008
  Note that we recently changed all 2003 to all domain controllers the PDC 2008, suspect that it may cause the problem, but just cannot know where it track.
  Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.

• Windows 7 Pro remote printing

  I have a HP Envy 4500 all-in-one printer.  I am running Windows 7 and my client I remote in running me Windows XP Pro.  The printer was working well remotely.  Recently, my client set to upgrade to Windows 7 Pro and now the printer will not work.  When I print a test page, it says it is printing, and then he said: this is the removal.  When I tried printing with an Epson 310 printer it worked fine.  We uninstalled and reinstalled print drivers and HP printer on both machines a couple of times.  I also tried to install the printer with it physically connected to the computer as a local printer clients.  All the ideas that Windows 7 Pro would print then delete the content?

  Hello Claudia,.

  1. You receive an error message/code when you try to print using the HP Envy 4500 all-in-one printer?
  2. Work on the domain environment?

  I suggest that you run HP print and Scan doctor to find and fix common printer problems.

  Try printing HP and Scan Doctor for Windows

  The print spooler can be the cause of the problem, I would recommend that you print queue.

  Here is the method of stop print queue to force Windows General.

  1. go into Start, control panel and administrative tools. Double click on icon Services.

  2. scroll down to the Print Spooler service and right-click on it and select stop. To do this, you must be logged in as an administrator.

  3. then you must go to the following directory: C:\WINDOWS\System32\spool\PRINTERS. Delete all files in this folder. This will clear all print queues.

  4. now you can go back to the Services console and right click and select start the print spooler service.

  You can also go to a command prompt and type net stop spooler or net start spooler to start and stop the service.

• Cannot connect to Windows Vista due to password problem

  I have a Dell XPS computer laptop model PP28L and run Vista Home Premium. When I bought the computer I bought in a pawn shop. Of course it was sold with no records at all. No recovery or restore of Windows disks. I have a valid Microsoft "proof of License'for my Vista Home Premium. Should I be reinstall Windows and if yes how I'd get the disks.

  * original title - cannot connect on Windows Vista Home Premium because someone changed my password, deleted my ID of the administrator and the guest connection. I am in the *.

  Your only option is to do a clean install of Vista.  There is no free, download of the disk.  Contact the manufacturer of the computer and they may be willing to sell you a set of recovery disks to reinstall the system (but you will need 23 digit product key to activate it in all probability even if sometimes it is not necessary when it is made with recovery on the same computer discs).

  Here is Microsoft's policy on software lost: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326246 you can see is not much help.

  If you can borrow an installation disk of Vista genuine of the same size of the bit of ANYONE, you can use that with your product key to re - install the system and start over (you get a new administrator account and set your own password for him - or to leave empty that you choose).

  I hope this helps.

  Cannot connect because windows 7 does not recognizse my profile

  Hello

  References to Vista also apply to Windows 7.

  You can try to fix it with Safe Mode - repeatedly press F8 as you bootup. Safe Mode ADMINISTRATOR account has no password by default (unless someone has changed the password so it should be available).

  Some programs such as the Google Updater (if you added the toolbar Google, Chrome or Google Earth) has been known to cause this problem.

• Cannot print/connection of Windows 7 for shared PSC 1315 on the XP Machine

  I have a HP PSC 1315, connected to a computer running Windows XP (32 bit).  This printer is shared.  I can access it from other XP machines on my home network.  I can't access it from my computer Windows 7 (64-bit).  I can see the printer is shared on the computer, but when I double click on it, I get the following error:

  "Windows can't find a driver for hp PSC 1310 series on the network."  To locate one manually, click on OK.  Otherwise, click Cancel and consult your network administrator or the printer manufacturer's Web site. »

  Then I tried to download the driver Windows 7 (64 bit) of HP and installed on my Windows 7 machine:

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=Al-75052-1&LC=en&DLC=en&cc=CA&...

  At the end of the installation, it asks to connect the printer to the computer via USB.  Because I'm not physically the printer connected to the Windows 7 computer, I check the box that says I can't login now and go forward at the end.

  Then I tried to connect to the printer and I get the same error.  I try to locate a driver manually.  I point to c:\windows\inf\ without success (I am * if * the driver info might settle there, but I don't know what the name of .inf).  Windows says that it cannot find an appropriate driver.  Maybe I should be looking elsewhere?

  I found some troubleshooters on the HP website, but it does not give "shared printer on a network" as one of the schemes to solve connection problems.

  I'm a little confused on this one.  Hoping that there will be something simple, I missed.

  Thank you!

  Here's a good explanation of how to share a printer from an XP PC to Windows 7 PC on a network home.  It should work since Windows 7 (64-bit) PC can see the partition Windows XP 32-bit.  What you missed was the type of port to use for the network connection.

• Cannot connect to Windows 7 PC via Wi Fi

  I have a Stor.E TV + 2 TB I've tried everything but can't connect to PC Windows 7.
  However, it will connect to a Windows XP OK computer.
  Someone at - it solution

  I found that connecting to Windows 7 with WiFi or other is a business blindly. The reason is not clear, but probably because the Toshiba is not properly designed to be discovered by Windows 7. Even computers Windows XP need some software utilities installed to be discovered by Win 7. Often the Toshiba appears at the bottom of the page of the network as a disc that is present but cannot be discovered. Sometimes it will appear under network locations if you pass the Toshiba and the new to reset the IP address. In addition to the usual file sharing settings, the drive must be mapped under 'computer '. Very often when the player does not appear under the 'Network' locations, double click the disc 'Computer' open records even if it does not appear in the sites 'network '. Don't ask me why. I worked around this and other issues such as the inability to copy large files, without interface specified Samba, etc, etc.. I installed the updated software, but other issues have slipped now that I've never had before like files FLAC freeze the player and does not properly (noise spikes). In truth, unfortunately, is a * finish without any support, and should not be on the market. I can't even sell it because it wouldn't be ethical it land on a poor unsuspecting, but hours of frustration to work around these problems, just to be able to use it, is counterproductive. I'll be more careful next time in choosing a provider.

  Hi Rharring,

  Check if you can connect with the EWS printers, and if you see information the printer go ahead and run the Setup program to reinstall the printer. When you get to the connection type screen, select wireless or network, and then follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

• Network connection between Windows 7 Pro and Windows XP Pro wireless

  Nice day.

  I am trying to connect to a Windows XP pro to a home wireless network, hosted by a pc Windows 7 Pro. I can see all the other PCs on the XP pc but cannot get them to connect. When I click the icon for the Windows 7 pc and try to log in (open) he asks a user name and password but I don't know what is the user name. I guess the password is generated by the computer windows 7, when I set up the homegroup. Would you please advise me on what to do to make this work. Thank you.

  Hi ArnBas,

  Looks like you are facing a problem with network computers. I came to find this documentation for you who speaks the networking of the various versions of the computers.

  Just through the same thing and check if everything is fine with the settings. Also, take a look at this very useful information.

  I hope this helps!

• Cannot connect to windows - journal of superelevation in safe mode!

  It keeps trying to do a system check at startup and will just keep cycling through this. If I don't tell them to run the check, I get in the log on screen and it won't let me type in my password but it does not appear to meet for.  on a log in the attempt, that he told me that microsoft shared is damaged or illegible, and run the chkdsk utility - but I cannot connect you to do this.  I tried to start in safe mode, but it gets so far under the form /windows/system32/DRIVERS/null.sys and then just seems to freeze.  PLEASE HELP ME!  Thank you

  Hi Bobo Rose,

  1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  2 when was the last time it was working fine?

  3. you receive an error message during the system check?

  I suggest that you run the CHKDSK utility by using the installation CD of Windows XP, which checks the specified drive and repairs or recovers the drive if the drive requires it. The command also marks bad sectors and recovers readable information.

  You will need to access the recovery console to run Chkdsk.

  You can use the following options:

  CHKDSK /p Performs a comprehensive check of the drive and corrects any errors.
  CHKDSK /r Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.

  Marcos82,
  So it appears your system tries to connect to a domain.  You should have an option in the login screen to change the domain that you log in.  You will be able to change it to connect to any PC.
  Have you tried "Last known good configuration" among the startup options?  If this is not the case try first and see if it's back to normal.

• Cannot connect to Windows 7 shares

  Objective: allow anyone to any PC windows (98se, it comes to XP and Vista machines) on my working group shared access the partitions on my main PC to Windows 7 without having to enter a user and password name.

  I had no problem to implement this when my main PC is running XP. No problems setting this up when I switched to Vista. But I just upgraded to Windows 7. When I try to connect to Windows 7 PC shares using my XP PC, I get a request for a user name and password. The biggest problem is the PC under Windows 98: he can see my main PC in network neighborhood, but when I try to connect to it to access shared partitions, it comes back with a '\\MAIN is not accessible. This application is not supported by the network. "However, the PC 98 XP PC access shares without problems and the XP PC accesses the 98 PCs activities without problems. In addition, the Win 7 PC to access both XP and 98 actions without problems.

  Windows 7 network settings: profile current (work), discovery network is on, file and printer sharing is on public folder sharing is on (anyone with network access can read and write files in public folders), streaming media is disabled, password protected sharing is turned off - it's the mindbender for me as I thought it was the key.

  Also, can someone tell me why my main Win 7 user have been shared folders by default after you run the Network Wizard in Windows 7?

  I've also posted this problem the technet forums. As I concluded there, my last solution that worked was to go back to Vista. Details of the steps at this link: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-CA/w7itpronetworking/thread/6e08b9e9-5463-47b6-ae6b-51e8bc642490 .
