Cannot get Windows 7 homegroups to work properly. Double-click a shared library on another machine in the residential group doesn't.
I just bought a new laptop with Windows 7 on it, so I decided to try the new homegroup in Windows 7 feature. I activated the homegroup on my desk and apart from the music, photos and videos. I then joined the residential group with the new portable computer using the password provided by the office shared libraries and the same 3 homegroup. All appeard to put up correctly, but I can't browse libraries shared each machine to other machine. I have the Homegroup and click on the other machine and I see 3 libraries, but when I click on any one of them does nothing. This happens on both machines. The only way I can get the residential groups to work is to first go to the other machine and provide credentials on the other machine. After doing this, the homegroup files begin to work. I was under the impression that the homegroup password was all I had to have access to all shared folders with the homegroup, but the only way I can get the homegroup to work is first authenticate itself to other machine using a user name and password.
The two machines are configured with the following:
- Network discovery is enabled
- File sharing and printer is enabled
- Public folder sharing is on
- Streaming Media is on
- File sharing connections is configured to use 128-bit encryption
- Password protected sharing is on
- Homegroup connections is set up to allow Windows to manage.
I came across this forum because I had the same problem today. Real quickly, I have two laptops, one running windows 7 Home premium 32-bit and the other runs windows 7 Professional 32-bit. I have comcast for my internet provider and their cable modem attached to my belkin wireless router. I don't know if my fix will work for someone else, but it worked for me, so this is.

Impossible to get Windows Vista Mail to work since the installation of FireFox
In recent weeks, been unable to access the Internet or use any messaging service using IE8. Internet Explorer opens not - except in safe mode with network. I spent several hours to solve this problem without success. Then as a last resort, I downloaded and installed Firefox and in normal mode the page Firefox came and I have full access to the Internet and Microsoft Hotmail - however I can't get Windows Vista Mail to work.
WMUtil is very easy to perform and can fix things. Especially if you got rid of McAfee. You may still need to remove your e-mail account and then add again, but it's also easy to do.
Many people find Thunderbird much more preferable to alternatives to Microsoft.

I recently downloaded Windows 8 and now cannot get my printer to print. Tried to print a test page, message says "sent to the printer test page", but it does not print. Can you help me?
You have installed the drivers and software for your printer? Did you go to the printer manufacturer's website to see if they still have 8 available Windows compatible drivers? If the answer is no, then you must do this before all first I try to print.

Read this info and see if it helps:

Have a read of the link above re Vista file and printer sharing.
Permissions/Share info is there as well.
If you use Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro or Kaspersky I.S., make that file and printer sharing is enabled in THE Firewall (or LAN enabled, depending on how their Exceptions are formulated in their firewall)
See you soon.
