• Computer laptop Windows 7 can see the desktop of Windows XP, but cannot ping or you connect

  I've seen hundreds of threads describing problems similar to mine, but none of the suggested fixes worked in my case so I'm starting a new thread.  I bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Edition.  My setup before the new laptop was as follows:

  Cable modem router NetGear WGT624v3---> desktop Windows XP Home Edition SP3--->

  I have set up portable Win 7 with the same name of the Office XP Workgroup.  The username and password are the same on both.  File and printer sharing is enabled on both.  The XP desktop laptop Win 7 in the workgroup in my network places.  It can successfully ping the laptop Win 7.  It can access shared folders on the Win 7 machine with no problems.

  My problem is that the connection seems one-sided.  Laptop Win 7 will usually display the XP desktop in the network when Windows Explorer opens.  It still display the XP desktop in the network map in network and sharing Center.  However, I can't map a network drive on the XP desktop by using the name of computer or IP address.  I can't even ping the XP desktop.  But if I start the Office XP in Safe Mode with networking, the Win 7 laptop can ping and access shared folders on the XP desktop computer.

  I tried to disable the firewall on both machines.  I confirmed that the appropriate ports are open for sharing files on both machines.  Safe mode they suggest the problem lies with Windows XP, but I'm running out of things to try.  And the various solutions I've seen in the Strait of similar positions as urban legends.

  Hi Meghmala,

  Thanks for the great tips.  You got me in the right direction.  After configuring my XP machine for a clean boot I have to ping, see and access shared files on desktop XP from Win 7 laptop.  Then, I have considered the services and startup programs that has been disabled for the clean boot.  I found a Cisco VPN service which I had previously used to fix on my office intranet.  I disabled this service and the corresponding to my next selective startup startup file.  I was still able to connect to the computer to Office XP.  I think that the VPN service was the cause of the problem even though I had no open an active VPN session.  Thanks again for this problem.  I tried to solve this problem for weeks.

  Hi acrhive Rar.

  Unfortunately, there is no way to cancel the option archive other than to do all the files one by one.

  If you used the shortcuts application option, then I will suggest you to create a new user account and check

• Function "search programs and files" Windows 7 no longer works

  Function "search programs and files" my windows 7 does not work anymore. When I type "notepad" for example on the field "search programs and files" Windows 7 and press ENTER, nothing happens. It is same when I open my 'Computer' windows and try to 'Looking for work', I have nothing. I tried to stop "Windows Search" and turn on again from the Control Panel, programs. It did not help. If anyone knows the number, please help. Thanks in advance!

  Press the Windows key + R > type services.msc and press enter > find it on the list: Windows Search , it must be started and Automatic (delayed start)

  Had installed something before that happens? Perhaps it was caused by a third-party application.

• Windows cannot find filename.extention in "search programs and files".

  Hello all, there is a program called "Recuva" by Piriform there (it is a data recovery program). When I try to find the program (Recuva64.exe) on "search programs and files", I see "recuva", (the r without ceiling). When I click on that, a message box appears, saying "Windows cannot find '' Recuva64.exe' '. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again. »

  Its running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  If someone could help me solve this problem, I would be very happy. Thank you.
  PS: Same problems occur with Defraggler of Piriform CCleaner too.

  I'm not sure that I follow the problem then, sorry?

  It is just this program that fails, or all searches fail?

  If you click on "Recuva64.exe" it runs?

  Have you tried to remove and reinstall it?

  NOTE: later found this on a google - http://www.pcerrorfixtip.com/Recuva64.exe-318841.html I don't know on this site or one of its suggestions, I just found on google. But it does not mention "Windows cannot find C:\Windows\Recuva64.exe make sure you typed the name correctly and try again ' in the ' Recuva64.exe error messages:" section. Not sure if this is useful. AV check anything you download (as appropriate) from the site that I don't know anything about them, just a response from google. It will be useful.

  
  

  I hope that someone else may have an idea and help.

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

  I can see other computers on a network of peer to peer windows XP but cannot access their shared files and the shared printer. The computers are connected by a switch, fixed IP addresses that are correctly configured and point to a DNS server outside the network. When I try to open the icon for one of the computers, he asked for credentials. I try to type the user name for the computer that is sharing the resource and the password. It is the user account whose computer is loged on and belongs to the Administrators group. for example: user name (Computer1\username) password (password). It does not work.

  Hello

  Windows Defender on Windows 7 is only antispyware. It has disabled (to avoid potential conflicts) during the installation of various programs of anti-malware to include (but not necessarily limited to) AVG, McAfee, MSE and Norton.

  So, probably your antivirus product has disabled Windows Defender. If so, you should not try to turn on WD.
