How to avoid synchronization of the settings between two computers

I have two computers (a desktop computer all-in-one DELL and HP laptop).  Log-in at once is my Microsoft account.

PROBLEM: When I 'customize' screen on one, the same changes are made on the other.   It is not desirable.  How to avoid that, far from making a second Microsoft account?

To clarify - the ICONS are not duplicated, just any changes made to the themes of office such as colors or backgrounds.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Beckinista,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

Thank you for your query details.

I also like the fact you want to avoid synchronization of the settings between two computers.

I suggest you stop the synchronization of all of the settings between two computers and check if it helps.

Please see this link:

Note: Please see section "to stop all sync settings" in the article above.

I hope this information helps.

Please let us know if you need more help.

Thank you

  • How to stop the connectivity between two computers that use the same IP address... ?

    Today, I managed to connect two computers with the same IP address. But now it is to be feared. for example, a person can access my computers using my IP and MAC address. So now, how can I stop the connectivity between these two computers. should what setting I use to stop.

    Tahnks.

    Hello

    1 have. what measures you taken to connect 2 computers with the same IP address?

    2. How are the 2 computers connected?

    3. how exactly you want to stop the connectivity between 2 computers?

    I want to tell you that 2 computers on the same network cannot have the same address. Each machine must have a unique address to identify it. A private network, as a home network connected to the internet, can be connected to a router to connect to the network, will have only 1 address, public IP address.

    In addition, if we know the IP address of a computer along the user ID and password, we can access the computer/shared files.

     
    If you are referring to the change of the IP address of the two computers, you can follow these steps and check.
     
    a. network connections open. Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel. In the search box, type 'adapter' and then, under center network and sharing, click view network connections.
    b. right click on the connection you want to change. Click on properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    c. click on the network tab. Under this connection uses the following items, click Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click the properties button. To specify your IP for IPv4, click on use the following IP address, and then, at the address IP, subnet mask, and gateway boxes by default, type IP address settings.
     
    A typical IPv4 address looks like 192.168.0.2; a typical subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The default gateway is usually the address of your router.
    For example, IP address: 192.168.0.2 by 192.168.0.12 (for computers)
    Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
    DNS: 192.168.0.1

  • "Limited connection" when you configure the network between two computers XP.

    Original title: Configuration of the network connection

    Trying to establish a network connection between two home PCs., both running Windows XP Pro. Have been through the network on both PC Setup Wizard but, they still say limited, in fact no connection. I use an Ethernet cable between the two Crusader. If it is true what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanx Terry

    Old but good, networking tips from MVP Malke, MS:

    The best and simplest is to buy a wireless router. This way you get Internet connectivity both machines and the added benefit of security more between you and the Internet. Then you configure your network wireless safely, and then you configure file/printer sharing. Here is information on the implementation of a router and also in networking. It seems long, but don't be intimidated. Setting up a router and the LAN of sharing between two computers takes about 15 minutes.

    The router configuration

    Setting up a router is simple enough. Normally, you run the CD that came with the router and follow the instructions. If you're running Vista, maybe the CD that came with the router does not work; I do not know this. But you can set up the router without the CD. Note that if you have Internet cable for the connection you have just set up the router to DHCP (or there may even be a choice of cable to choose). If you have DSL Internet, you select TRP usually and enter the username and password you selected when you initially set the DSL connection. So:

    1. turn off the power to your cable modem.

    2. attach a cable (usually supplied with the router) course Ethernet cat5e Internet/WAN port of the router to the Ethernet port on the cable modem.

    3. connect the ethernet cable cat5e from the network card in your computer to one of the ports on the router. If you do not have an ethernet cable (because you were using USB), you will need to go to the store and buy a.

    4. turn on the cable modem. After that all the lights are on, turn on the router.

    To configure the router:

     

    Have a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable. Examples given are for a Linksys router. See the manual of your router or the router mftr's Web site. for the parameters by default if you don't have a Linksys. Open a browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox and in the address bar type:

    http://192.168.1.1 [Enter] (it is default IP address of the router, which varies from router to router then check your manual)

    This will bring you to the login screen of the router. The default username is blank and the Linksys default password is "admin" without the quotes. Enter this information. You are now in the configuration of the router utility. Your configuration utility may be slightly different from mine.

    Click the Administration link at the top of the page. Enter your new password. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE. Re-enter the password to confirm it, and then click Save settings at the bottom of the page. The router will reboot and show you the box of connection again. Do not fill in the user name and put it in your new password to enter the configuration utility.

    Now, click on the link wireless at the top of the page. Change the network name (SSID) wireless by default to something, you'll recognize. I suggest that my clients not use their surname as the SSID. For example, you might want to name your network wireless network "CastleAnthrax" or similar.

    Click on save settings and when you get the prompt that your changes were successful, click the wireless security link which is just beside the Basic Wireless Settings link (where you changed your SSID). If you have a newish computer, you will be able to affect security WPA2-Personal Mode. Do this and enter a password. The password is what you enter on all computers that are allowed to connect to the wireless network. MAKE A NOTE SOMEWHERE THAT YOU WILL NOT LOSE.

    At this point, your router is set up and if the computer that you use to configure the router will normally connect wireless, disconnect the Ethernet cable and wireless of the computer should see your new network. Enter the password you created to join the network and start surfing.

    B. file/printer sharing of

    Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

    http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

    For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus with "Internet Worm Protection" (like Norton 2006/07) which acts as a firewall, you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this. The instructions on this link work for XP and Vista:

    Set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

    D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • Estimate the time between two computers

    Hello, everyone.

    I want to develop a program for communication between two ip addresses:

    IP1: 192.168.1.100

    Suppose IP1 is the server IP2 is the Viewer, then I want to put in place a program to estimate the elapsed time for IP1 contact IP2, but I don't know how to do.

    Also, I want to display the elapsed time for the connection (which varies due to fluctuations in the internet), performing actions such as continuously 'ping' the receiver from the server. Can someone show me the way to achieve this? Thank you very much.

  • How to configure a direct cable connection between two computers in Windows 7

    Hello

    I'm trying to set up a connection by serial cable with serial cable RS232 DB9 female-female between 2 PCs, one with Windows 7 and Windows 8.
    For the initial check of the cable, I used a terminal program such as HyperTerminal, PuTTY, RealTerm. But none of the PC was able to read/write data from the port. I shorted her transmit and receive pins (2 & 3) at one end with a jumper (PIN stapler) for a loop to return the data to the Terminal. Terminal exits each letter typed twice, that is to say the cable and the COM port works correctly for two computers. But with 2 PCs connected, the Hyperterminal does not output nothing written of another PC Hyperterminal.
    Possible suspects: -.
    1. in the device-> PORTS (COM and LPT) Manager - there are 3 elements in both PC
    Communication Port (COM1), Communications Port (COM2), the Printer Port (LPT1).
    while I plug / unplug the cable at the PC, nothing changes in this section.
    2. the drivers for this type of cable to not installed.
    3. different OS installed on the PC.
    4 or I have to create a new connection , and then connect directly to another computer as mentioned in http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305621/en-us . But I didn't know how to do these steps in Windows 7/8.
    Any idea about this problem is appreciated.

    The problem is your trying to use both ports 'exit' to connect two computers / never going to work.

    VGA ports are for v's t. 'If' they are able to c.p.. otherwise, you will need to use a HDMI to the TV which is also an exit from the c.p.

    If you notice your computer and your monitor using a DVI port connection not a VGA.

    And no you can not use a DVI cable either :)

  • How can I compare the settings of the Flash between two computers?

  • Remote access share folder between two computers

    I have two computers connected by a CAT5 cable, have all two firewall is enabled. This network has a server, DNS & DHCP server or router. Only two computers XP SP3.

    • Firewall is enabled
    • File sharing and printer checked with selected custom list

    Two types of tests:

    Test 1: I configured two computers with a static IP address and enter the IP subnet 10.0.0.0/24 network in the custom list. The PC - A (10.0.0.1) and typing\\computername or \\IP_AddressPC - B (10.0.0.2) access. Access to shared folder has no problem with this setting.

    Test 2: I changed the dynamic IP address static IP on both computers and let XP itself generate dynamic IP 169.x.x.x. I went to the list of custom and changed in 169.0.0.0/16, this settings I'm unable to access the remote folder.

    • I could not access by \\IP_Address get a message error "network path was not found.
    • \\Computername took almost a minute to open a window, but he has now shared resources, such as file sharing.
    • I can ping by IP address, but could not ping by ComputerName

    Issues related to the:

    1. Class B is allowed in the custom list?
    2. Can I use the IP address dynamic Windows XP for the connection between two computers or on multiple computers?
    3. Why class C has worked very well and no class B?
    4. Is it because I used XP dynamic IP or custom list accesses no class B or both?

    Hello

    Part of a Wireless cable/DSL Router is a DHCP server.

    The server assigns the IP address to network computers are configured to Auto obtain IP address.

    If for some reason, the computer cannot connect to the router, it cannot obtain an IP address and Windows assign a default IP 169.xxx.xxxx.xxx. This IP address is not functional for regular internet IP and network.

    Since you don't have any DHCP server on your system, you must use static IP as you did before.

    Hi Navin,

    TIMESTAMPDIFF function first determines the timestamp component that corresponds to the specified interval setting. For example, SQL_TSI_DAY corresponds to the day component and SQL_TSI_MONTH corresponds to the component "month".

    If you want to display the difference between two dates in days using SQL_TSI_DAY, unlike butterflies SQL_TSI_MONTH and so on...

  • Measure the time between two digital pulse

    Hello

    For a non-critical calendar application, I need to measure the time interval between consecutive TTL pulses, ranging from the order of 0.5 s for a few seconds, with a low accuracy of +/-10-50ms. The interval being measured varies between the rising edge of the first pulse and the front of the next and so on.

    I have several input lines I need to deal with. Because it's a critical machination low cost, I don't want to use digital counters for each line, so I work with an acquisition of data USB6008 and have connected the input rows TTL on the digital inputs of the device. Avoiding will be sufficient.

    I found a good example of VI on discussion forums that does almost the same thing, only it uses instead of the DAQ Assistant user input. The VI works including the time the program going on in a while loop. I replaced with the DAQ Assistant output (a channel) user input in the hope that it is still work.

    When I run the program in "run once" mode, it seems to work perfectly. However, in "continuous run" it measures only a very small interval, probably just the time between two samples.  I think it has something to do with the help of a while loop in combination with the DAQ Assistant. Anyone who has any suggestions how to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    OK... first of all, you should never use the button "run continuously.  I wish that NEITHER would be to eliminate it, but told me that it is sometimes useful for debugging.  If you want your program to run over and over again, use a while loop with a stop"" button.

    If I'm reading your code correctly, you make your initial moment, and then collect data from data acquisition.  When one of the channels is "T", you stop your loop and the end time of capture.  (By the way, why you convert your table to a cluster?  Why not just index the appropriate channel in the table directly?)

    Since you want to capture the time between two consecutive pulses, you need to know when a transition has occurred... i. e when your digital line went from F (no pulse) to T (pulse start).  This will give you your forehead.  Right now, all you're doing is looking for a value T - so you have no way of knowing if you are looking for to the previous impulse again, or a new impetus.  You also burn 100% of your processor with the way you have your programme in place.

    You need a small loop delay so that your VI is not 100% of your hogs CPU time.  Given that you can live with an accuracy of 50msec, what I suggest that you use.

    See attached picture for you give an idea of how to implement.  He will probably need some refining operations, but it should point you in the right direction.

    I hope this helps.

    Any solution?

    Hi jocuma,

    I tried something and hope that helps u.

    Just create two arrays of temperature and voltage. First of all, I'll get the value of the voltage when it is more of a certain value and that same index to get the value of time and store in the shift register.

    When I get the second higher than the limit value, I'll get time and subtract the previous value.
