  • Slow connection (10-15 seconds) for Windows 7 Home Premium administrator accounts, but not standard accounts

    I have a new computer with a new installation of Windows 7 Home Premium.
    This is a pretty fast PC with an i7 2600 and an SSD.

    When I log on to an administrator account, it takes about 10-15 seconds, however when I connect to a standard account, it takes less than a second.

    I can create a standard account, sign a bunch of times immediately, then give him admin privileges and it suddenly starts to take 10-15 seconds. He switch back to the standard, and login is immediate.

  • Why isn't the local users and groups in Windows 7 Home Premium active?

    Unfortunately, the page of "Compare editions" for Windows 7 does not show that it is disabled for Windows 7 Home Premium.  So, I think that Microsoft is engaged in false advertising by activating only not this snap-in Control Panel.


    Bottom line is: I need to access the Panel to ensure that I am in the Visual Studio debugger users group.  So, I can't debug anything.  The software does not work properly.


    Microsoft should immediately activate this feature.

    I'm sorry, but no original version of Windows has always included local users and groups .

    I recommend posting your question in the MSDN Visual Studio Forums , where other developers can answer. They know how to do what you want.

  • Try to set up a direct parallel connection between two computers in Windows XP Home edition

  • Connection issues with WPA on Windows XP Home SP3 Netbook

    Finished just set up (after the failure of the HD) a Samsnung NC10 netbook.

    While I am able to get it connected to my i'net connection using WPA2 - PSK, when I re - locate in my house of customers problems start to occur.

    They have what appears to be an old Netgear wireless router, which is set up for WPA.

    When the Netbook is trying to connect to the router, it seems to get stüch acquire an IP # (so I'm starting to think that it might be associated with DHCP).

    Any ideas on what could be the cause of the problem and how to solve.   Or it'll just be a case of re - configure the router to use WPA2?

    Set a static IP address does not help... If the adapter cannot get an IP address from the DHCP server on the router then (assuming that no hardware is broken) is not making a connection authenticated, so no matter you set IP.

    If you have access to the router instead of your customer, temporarily disable any encryption of the Netgear router, remove any entry associated with this router in the list of preferred networks (as described above) and see if it will connect without encryption.

    Which should reduce things a bit.

    One thing that comes to mind is, particularly when the old wireless devices are involved, you may need to configure the encryption algorithm correct in addition to authentication wireless system.  In other words, if you select WPA, you also choose to use AES and TKIP (the former algorithm).  It's on the tab "Association" wireless network properties.

    You should check the router to see what he uses before you configure the properties of the adapter.

    This screenshot, WPA2 is used, which involves AES encryption: http://www.okcu.edu/technology/wireless/xpwifi-WirelessNetworkAssociation.jpg

    This screenshot, WPA with TKIP is used: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRG3JX7mOYrv7NwyGeN5BD7KxggPJXlI6u1t7jf2kh3YZSU76EXEA

    Some routers that have been built as WPA2 introduced had a kind of quasi-WPA2, which has been implemented in the WPA with AES.  I would have thought that your card would automatically detect and use the algorithm correct when you set to use WPA - PSK, but maybe not.

    Hello

    Maybe this can help.
    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#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 .

  • Windows XP Home cannot reconnect my player card after each session of re - start, quick to key in the username and password still.

    I recently installed a network storage drive to my network environments with desktop computer running windows 7, windows xp professional and windows xp home.

    Have this problems that even when the drive has been mapped with identification information entered and save selection 'auto re - connect on each session' in windows xp home. Computers running windows xp professional, and windows 7 allows me to create and record identification information that allows the reader to reconnect each time the system starts up, but not on xp family.

    Tried several methods of control over the update of the firmware, upgrade of service pack, part 3 card utilities and windows drive mapping manual, but it does not help.

    Hope someone could give advice what could be done to solve this problem because it seems very likely that it due to windows problems.

    Under user account, manage stored password options, I could create credentials in XP Pro, but not at home.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Correction of syntax: there is an oblique lack between "servername" and "share name".  The slash in front of 'USER' is also the polarity.  It should be rather than the oblique as in:

    NET use Z: \\servername\sharename / USER: username password

    Hey Jake Root,
     
    a. using a laptop or a desktop computer? There are times that your laptop battery is low and the screen goes to the basic theme.
     
    b. your computer was pre-installed with Windows 7?
     
    c. do you have a software preinstalled on your computer?
     
    Your computer manufacturer might have installed something that is responsible for customization of the office and the change of paper painted. check what is running in a context (it may have an icon in the taskbar notification area). If this is responsible for customization change its settings, disable it or uninstall it.
     
    In the meantime, you can follow the below methods:
     
    Method 1:
     
    1. click on start, in the search box, enter %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes ------(you will find files there are two: TranscodedWallpaper.jpg and slideshow.ini)
    2. open slideshow.ini > delete its content > save changes

    3. delete TranscodedWallpaper.jpg (you can substitute your own file of this name)

    4 reboot your system

    5. try to change the desktop background (right-click on the desktop > personalize > wallpaper)
     
    Method 2:
     
    You can place your computer in a clean boot State and check.
     
    There could be a possibility that a third-party application conflicts and the problem occurs.

    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello

    Thank you for your time and effort to get back to us, and I apologize for the delay in responding.

    Method 1 step number d makes reference to the present Details tab on the event viewer, where you can get the details of the error. First, search for the error which will be something like Windows cannot process extension Client Strategy Group-side and click on the error and then click the Details tab and make a note of the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) for the extension defective client-side. For reference, see the screenshot:

    Now come to step f number , it indicates the location of the Group Policy Extensions so that you can check if the extensions shown in the case log and the Registry Editor extension have a difference. The path of the GPExtension is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\GPExtensions. For reference, see the screenshot:
