Cannot search the network for Microsoft Windows (XP SP3)
Hello
On holiday, I have a PC running Windows 8.1 and a former under XP (SP3), both connected to a Netgear router for Internet access.
Under Windows, 8.1, the XP PC appear not at all, even when I search by name.
The WinXP when I click (down posted by exploring folders) on "Microsoft Windows network", I got an Error Message:
Impossible to scan the network, you have no network, or the network is not started.
I've followed all the recommendations for sharing files between Windows 8.1 and XP:
Same network type: private
Even working group: PERSONAL
Different names.
Option of sharing files on two PCs in network settings.
Windows 8.1, I chose: encryption 40 or 56-bit.
I can share folders between your desktop in Windows 7 with Win 8.1 and Windows XP Home.
File sharing has been possible, in my view, before I've upgraded to SP3 of XP last year.
I know that Windows XP is not supported, but I need this old PC to display movies on my old TV (S_Video)!
Thanks for your replies.

In addition...
You may translate the error of another language?
On the XP computer.
- Click Start, run, type "services.msc" (without the quotes) and click OK
- Scroll down to "Workstation" (probably the last item in the list) and double-click it
- Make sure the "Startup type" is "automatic".
- Click on the 'Start' button (if the service has already started, please report this), and then click OK
- Close the Services applet

Windows Defender is available for Microsoft Windows XP SP3?
I had an idea that she had been replaced by MSE
Yes, Windows Defender is available for Windows XP SP3:
Windows Defender
http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/winfamily/Defender/default.mspxHowever, given that Windows Defender is an anti-spyware program and Microsoft Security Essentials is an anti-spyware and anti-virus program, the two must not be run at the same time due to possible conflicts - they would both attempt to do the same thing.
For more information, please see the following thread:

Windows cannot load the drivers for the network device, Code 31
A few days ago, my computer was working very slow... I turned off twice and he turned his back. The letters on the screen were enormous when windows restarts. I turned off and did a diagnostic system before windows starts and everything was fine. The computer is restarted my network cards were missing. I get the error: this device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers for this device. (CODE 31). (Module Aetheros 802.11 a/b/g/n dualband wireless network and Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller).
I have downloaded device drivers (windows could not find them on my system) using a laptop and copied computer on a disc. I tried to install and I got an error message indicating that windows has failed. I did a system restore to a point a few days before I started having problems. Windows cannot successfully go back to the restore point. I spoke with a technology computer and HP tech. HP technology seems to think that windows is damaged and I need to remove and reinstall it on my computer. I spoke with computer technology in my area, and he seems to think that my hard drive has failed, however I can still run photoshop and backup my system.
Does anyone have any ideas before I m computer local tech. 3 year warranty just expired February 1, 2011. Don't you know.

I have many facilities update unresolved that failed, of which several have been labeled 'critical' is it possible that these updates were for windows 7 instead of my program which is the version of microsoft windows vista 6.0 over a few more numbers after that.
Try to download and install manually by download on your desktop and install them one by one. Insert the number of KB to get updates on the right and choose the one corresponding to your version of Vista: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx. It is not possible for Windows Update in order to send updates for the wrong operating system (but I can't go further and say that it is impossible, even if I never heard talk of such a thing).
If this does not work, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 and then make the facilities. If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem. Follow the procedures described in the article. Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall. Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.
Also read and execute the steps ofhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058.

Network adapters: Microsoft Windows Mobile remote adapter causes the Windows 7 upgrade to fail.
I did everything to prepare for the upgrade. The Upgrade Advisor says it all right. But I get the message that this network adapter is a problem. It does not appear in device menager even under hidden objects, so I can't uninstall or update.
It is obviously a problem for more than two years. Why is there not a difficulty now, or at least a well validated response that meets this situation rather than simply repeat the statement to execute the Advisor (done) or update the driver (which is impossible because the card network can not be found)?
Hello
You can try these:
Step 1:
a. click the Start button.
(b) in the search box type devmgmt.msc and then press ENTER.
c. find under the "Mobile Devices" "Microsoft USB Sync" node. If this is not present, proceed to the next step. Otherwise, right click "Microsoft USB Sync" and choose "Uninstall".
When you connect your USB phone, it should appear in the device under Mobile Device Manager. Education invites you to look out there and if you find Microsoft USB Sync, uninstall it. If she is not there, go to the next step.
Step 2:
Disconnect, and then reconnect your device. Your device driver will be re - install and launch Windows Mobile Device Center.

Hello
I use an HP Envy 15 J049tx laptop.
I am facing an error during installation "Qualcomm Atheros QCA9000 series Bluetooth 4.0 + HS Driver for Microsoft Windows.
It displays an error such as,
«The device may not be present or could be ejected/disconnected from the system...» Insert or reinsert now. »
What should I do?
Hello:
According to the list of parts on the link below, your laptop is with Bluetooth 4.0 Ralink wireless card.
http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=F2C59PA
Therefore, you must install the Ralink bluetooth driver and software for the Ralink, not the Atheros one wireless card.
This is probably the reason why the driver cannot find the atheros bluetooth device (because your laptop lacks an Atheros wireless card).
