• Error read-only during the Windows XP networking with a Windows Vista-based computer

  Help, please.  We have set up a working group, the destop with Windows XP behaves as the server and laptop with Windows Vista is the other computer.

  We can share and open all files.

  The problem is with a mortgage loan software. (Chalice)  On the Vista computer, when you try to open a file, we get the error "the file is used by someone else.  You want to open the file in read-only Mode? "We have worked with their Tech Support who insists on the fact that it's a Microsoft set up the problem with the server computer.  In their diagnosis, they say that the cause may be "the server has locked files or you don't have full access to the records.  Their Technical Support remotely connected to our two computers and verified that we have the network set in place correctly-"everyone" has full control of the files.  Both computers have disabled the Windows Firewall.  How can I check if the file is locked by the server?  And why would he block specifically for mortgage loan software?  Any other troubleshooting help would be most appreciated.  They have guaranteed that this software can run on both Windows XP Vista computers & a set.

  Another question - when I right click on the folder that this error message, and then click Properties, on the general tab, attributes, the 'Read only' box is populated with a solid green box.  It can also be a check mark or a cache.  I deleted the solid green box and tick, apply settings, but still no luck.  What is the difference between the solid green box and the checkbox for that?

  Thank you to those who can help - we are really at a loss!

  Hello

  Please note that it may depend on the versions of Vista and Win 7 you have.

  RTD connection consists on the client computer (the computer that initiates the connection) and a host (the computer on which the connection will too.

  All versions of Windows can act as Clients.

  # You have need Vista compatible drivers - it's the only way it will work.  Installing bad drivers can even to hurt the unit or even your system to not try.  Get a new USB device that works with Vista, and has the correct drivers.

• Remote Desktop - Windows Vista-based computer to a Windows 7 computer on a local network in my office

  I have a laptop Windows Vista Home Premium that is trying to connect to my Windows 7 desktop. It worked fine when my desktop computer was Windows XP and I was running the same laptop Vista Windows 7, I am now.

  What has changed? I have a modem/router to two sons and has not changed the settings. I just tried opening port 3389 and cutting the firewall of Windows with the same results.

  I have a VPN and the game works fine.

  Get remote desktop dialog box for opening and saving in and I know that it is configured correctly, because when I take my Vista laptop to the office the RD connection works fine and I can see and I work on my Windows 7 desktop computer, so the problem is either something on my home network or with my ISP - using DSL - ideas?

• Sleep or Windows XP-based computer displays is not on the list of network in Windows 7

  I have a HTPC to Windows XP that I use for Hulu and Netflix (I will be upgrading soon) and network storage (set on the router via an ethernet cable), and when my laptop was on XP, I could go in network, click the shortcut of the computer (let's call HTPC-XP), and she wakes up the HTPC and allow me to surf on the shared folders. Since upgrading my laptop to Windows 7, it shows only active (awake) computers on the network and shows no caching of shortcuts I can click to wake up computers. I have to walk over to the HTPC in another room and press the power button to wake up from her sleep, then return to the laptop and refresh the network connections, and this can take several minutes for the shortcut is displayed, so that Wake-on-LAN with all the XP computers less than 15 seconds before.

  The problem seems to occur with other Windows 7 computers of sleeping too. I can't get a list of shortcuts to use persistent connections that I can click to wake a computer from the network. What is the solution here?

• Not able to play the game Metro 2033 on Windows Vista-based computer.

  I just installed the game Metro 2033 on my Vista system that uses a 1080 screen.  In fact, I have two identical screens.

  The game requires activation Steam and Steam normally will attempt to update the program rather than simply enable it during installation.  This leaves a person in the dark as to what happens during the installation.

  It turns out, I use a 3G modem that Steam refuses to support their network of Bit Torrent, so download speed for an update of a concert is around 12 kb/s or 8 hours to make the point on a program that has not yet installed.

  After work, I was quite surprised to find that the program would not go on Steam.  He then took a few hours to find out that there is a solution, that I could load the game by running the executable file that had been installed in the directory Steam for Metro 2033.

  Unfortunately Metro2033, when started this default way a unknown screen resolution.  Thus when the game is started from the Steam directory nested, one gets a message "out of range" on the display of 1080 and nothing can be seen.

  Short of launching the game out, I tried the game again, to my great joy, the second run displays a safe mode issue and I ran it in safe mode.  It is quite an exciting game and I played it all night.  However, I had also contacted support original THQ regarding installation problem/solution.

  Then I fell asleep.  The PC was on.

  The next day, I played the 2003 Metro game again, but I entered in some difficult areas of the game, and I had to reload the saved game.  After awhile, I opted to exit the program.  Later, I started the program, but this time I inadvertently clicked on the Metro2033 icon who had installed Steam.   In my solution, I had pasted a link to the directory of Steam under the original icon and had pressed the wrong button.

  Of course, the first thing I saw, after playing the game for 12 hours, was "out of range".  I opted to return to the office...

  ... However I couldn't come back on the Vista desktop.  I have a 7000, and even Microsoft Entertainment keyboard by pressing the buttons of Windows or Media center wouldn't let me come back to the office.

  The day before, I needed to do this that I've experienced to workaround to start getting and I noticed that the only way I could get on the desktop to run the Task Manager to kill the out of range on my screen message has been to press the Media Center button.

  Once the Media Center menu on breaking the subway 2003 menu I could then enter the office and use the Task Manager.

  However, the next day when I inadvertently started the STEAM version, and again, the screen is become black and says 'Out of Range', I found that my system was stuck in this loop.  No way to get in the Manager of tasks at all, not even with the Media center button on my keyboard.

  Now the background of my question.  When I was forced to start my system again, I noticed the normal BIOS screen and the bar of Vista with Vista is loading, then the familiar sound of Vista boot, but now NO SCREEN at all on startup!  Now, something had inserted a driver in my Vista start which forced my display say "Out of Range" from the start of the desktop of Vista and Vista computer has not yet noticed this.  Normally, I would think that they claim that the screen resolution is wrong and put it on, instead, nothing else than the out of range message rigid or flexible boots.

  Original title: can someone tell me what happened here? Metro2033 and steam game.

  I checked by plugging my second monitor.   The system has Safe Mode startup and I was able to do a restore of the system from the previous day to evening to return to the office.   However, I am quite confused as to what happened.  How the Metro 2033 problem "out of range" migrate to Windows startup by running an update of Steam?

  I use the latest service pack for Vista.

  
  

  It seems that the STEAM snuck in an update and then everything worked fine.

  Original title: the Machine is XP, this update KB2833940 and KB2844285 had been submitted to my computer via the auto update program.

  The Machine is XP, this update KB2833940 and KB2844285 had been submitted to my computer via the auto update program.  Both have continued to "loop" on attempts to install on the machine.  Download prepare for installation and the installation would show as complete that in the menu screen may disappear.   Then the new UPDATE ICON appears in the lower Task/tool bar.   Using the feature "review updates", he noted that the updates have been shown as installed.   These have been removed by using the Add/Remove feature.
  The automatic update feature was sut down and use the HELP/SUPPORT-update - selection I noticed that two updates mentioned display 0's (zeros) in SIZE, but also the time to download in a few MINUTES.

  I note also that I have tried several times to correct this issue using what ever "patches" lacked good results.   ALSO THE MICROSOFT TOOL PATCH NEVER WORKED FOR ME.  ALWAYS A PROBLEM...

  Uninstall the .NET Framework 2.0. Then download the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool
  In the drop-down list box, select 2.0 and clean.
  Reinstall .NET Framework 2.0
  Visit Windows Update or Microsoft Update and let it install the rest of the 2.0 updates, including KB2844285 and KB2833940.

  Check if they install and report.

• Cannot access a shared folder on the computer Windows 7 on a Windows Vista-based computer

  I'm having a problem.

  I have a small network in my house consists of three computers.  One is running XP, it has Vista Home Premium, and it has Windows 7 Home Premium.  I usually use wireless networks, but I have the same problem if I use wired connections through my router.

  All three computers can see each other when I display the network on each.  I can ping each computer from other computers.  The problem is that when I try to access a shared folder on the Windows 7 computer from the Vista computer, I get an error window popping up that says:

  \\computer-name is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.  The network location cannot be reached.  For more information about network troubleshooting, see Windows Help.

  I can get in the same shared folder on the XP computer.  I also have to shared folders on the XP computer Vista computer.

  I can also get to the shared folders on the XP and Vista computers on the Windows 7 computer.

  The only problem is learning to the shared folder on the Windows 7 computer Vista computer.

  The folder on the Windows 7 computer is configured to be shared by everyone.  Password sharing is disabled on all three computers.

  Any help would be appreciated.  If there is more information, I can give you, let me know.

  Thanks in advance,
