Computers laptops Vista do not see printers available on the XP Home network
I have a small home network with two desktop computers running XP with SP3. Everything works fine. I try to add two laptops with Vista. They find that the network connections and the internet is fine. However, neither can find a printer that is wired to the host. The other PC remotely found printers and works very well. Network is compatible with Linksys wireless router. Network discovery is turned on. Thank you

My Win7 PC still does not see XP PC on the same home network. Why?
I got a home network, connected to the internet and all the XP PC see each other. File sharing is turned on on the set. On my new Windows 7 PC only occasionally show some, not all (this varies) of the other PC in the group. When I see the other PC I can access their files compatible with the permissions, I put. Even if I tried to leave the PC to access the files from the PC Windows 7, they impossible for most, but just as with intermittent visibility of the other PC the PC Windows7 this sharing has come and go when these PC trying to access to the Win7 PC. How can I fix it? It was relatively easy to work under XP, I'm afraid that Windows 7 is causing trouble. Thank you, Dean

I have a Windows XP desktop PC. I also have two laptops. I can connect to the internet via laptops via my wireless router, but I can't connect to internet via desktop even when it is plugged directly into my DSL modem. I replaced the Ethernet cable, nothing helps. My status of connection to the Local network on the desktop shows little or no connectivity, but I've done all the troubleshooting procedures, (including / Release ipcong & ipconfig / renew) cause a message saying: unable to contact your DHCP server. Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
What's your DHCP enabled router wireless
If yes then brand IP automatically defined in properties Office lan yor
or try set ip next ip address manually your portable computer ip address serial with the same mask of the subnet and the gateway address.
It can happen when dsektop cannot find the DHCP server

I do not see my PS3 in the box "share my media to.
I tried many things and still do not see my PS3 in the media part in boxing trying to share Media Player. I know not if appears as unknown device, but I don't see that either. I finished reloaded Vista and still no luck. I can connect to the internet through it, and that works fine, can also ping. It appears in the 'LAN devices list"in my router wireless so I don't think it's a router problem. I checked that all necessary services are running after looking on the web for a solution.
Another strange thing, it's that he sees my HR20 DirecTV as a media server, which is located on the same network. It's very strange to me that they can see each other by my PC can't seem to see my PS3.
No idea why I can't share photos, music and video to my PS3 from my Vista PC.
You will also need to manage the network set up on any PC to ensure that file sharing is actually active. Your router must also have UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) enabled otherwise, your PS3 will not be displayed.
If your PC/PS3 is wired or wireless is not relevant. If they use the same router to connect to internet thenpotentially they are on the same network, but the necessary network settings allow the flow of traffic.
Your work laptop is probably set up to work on a business network, most of which do not allow the streaming media for the parameters would be disabled. (I'd say leaving them ths way, otherwise he cannot connect to the network at your workplace when you come back!)

Not enough space available on the disk without title
Every time when I trie to install any creative cloud application, I get an error "not enough space available on the disk untitles-(30). There is no disc titled untitled and there is enough free space (50 GB).
It happens on my Mac Mini and Mac Book Pro. The only similarity I can find, is that they have both a Kingston custom 60GB SSD.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem, I already tried to change the location of installing a HARD drive.
You're right, this isn't a problem downloading.
It's a lack of space in / tmp (or/private/tmp). It is a silent place to stash huge to download files, but moving on... It's an easy fix.
If you're set up with an SSD a popular board 'longevity' is the tmp in RAM or elsewhere to save some wear and tear.
In expression, type "df - kh", if you see/private/tmp anywhere under "mounted on ' and the 'result' is not large (several concerts I assume), there is your problem.
The most popular advice ramdisk (can not find the link right now) is to place a startup item to do this job and name "RamFS" or/System/Library/StartupItems/RamFS. Move it out or chmod 000 it temporarily, restart and install. You can replace the StartupItem subsequently (and restart).

"Your bootable USB key could not be created there is not enough space available on the disk.
I am trying to install a partition of Windows 7 with an ISO on a flash drive with Boot Camp Assistant. Everytime I try it however, I get the error "your bootable USB key could not be created there is not enough space available on the disk. The flash drive that I use for this is 64 GB, so I doubt that the issue has to do with not enough available space. I have already tried the obvious, like reformat the flash drive and retry the write. Is there something I could hurt or do differently to make it work?

Do not see my images in the Windows 7 preview pane
WHY CAN I NOT SEE MY IMAGES IN THE PREVIEW PANE WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND THEN SELECT PREVIEW OR JUST OPEN THE FILE? IS THERE A SETTING WHERE I CAN JUST HOVER CURSOR OVER THE ICON AND I CAN GET A PREVIEW OF THE PHOTOS? I'VE SEEN THIS DONE ON OTHER PEOPLES COMPS RUNNING WIN7
* original title - PANE PREVIEW (PHOTOS) HELP! PLEASE.*
You can't right click, you have to click once to highlight the file you want to preview.
However, you must have installed preview Manager program. Windows can preview most of the images (jpg, bmp, gif), but others, like the photoshop files, need another program installed. -

Hi I have an error code 205 downloading cloud adobe creative that I use proxy in my company, but do not see this error in the public internet, this problem can I solve this problem
In proxy environment, the computer cannot connect to the Adobe servers, so it does not work. The proxy or the firewall should be disabled if you use creative cloud.
Hope this will help you.
Kind regards

Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.
Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.
Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions
General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .------------------------------
If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

Computers laptop Toshiba are not good
NEVER buy a computer toshiba laptop.
(1) packed in the first 2 months motherboard
(2) If you like polishing then yeh, go ahead - but the finish on the a300 sateelit I have is rubbish - it's always dirty and greasy of all traces of finger - even if wash you your hands all the time there still looks terrible
(3) the finish begins to deteriorate, I've never used anything other than water and a soft cloth to clean, never scratched my laptop - but the paint/coating begins to flake away and it looks cheap and nasty
4)....
5)....With all due respect, but I don't agree with you.
I use computers laptop Toshiba for years and have never had serious hardware problems.
I'm also owner of the Satellite A300 and I'm happy with it. The design is very nice and all surfaces laptop are pretty difficult and used to scratches.My Satellite A300 is almost a year old, but without a single scratch. It looks like the other.
With fingerprints is maybe a little boring, but from time to time is not so problematic to clean.I don't know what you do with your laptop but the A300 laptop is really compact and robust. I use my phone extensively for my work, and when compared with the notebooks I noticed that areas close to the touchpad where the hands are placed is like new.
By the way laptop do not clean with water. Talk with your local PC retailer and buy a special liquid for cleaning the PC.
