How to enable IPv6 in Windows 8 when it shows that it is enabled

When I try to connect to my home group I get a message "your network connection must have active IPv6."  However, in the properties of my network it shows that it is enabled.  I disabled my Norton firewall & virus scan but that doesn't seem to be the problem.  I added the DisabledComponenets with the value set to 0 in the registry.  Still get the same message.

Hello

First remove what you did just in case it is incorrect.

Your router and all the computers must be able to IPv6 (hardware, firmware, and drivers)
to use a homegroup. Check the system Maker (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems)
or the sites of manufacturers of real devices to update network drivers. Also check the router
site of the manufacturer for firmware updated to date. Check their support and ask in their forums for everything
known issues.

These are for Windows 7 apply to Windows 8.

====================================================

Check the updates (especially network drivers):

Check with the manufacturer of system (manufacturer of motherboard for customized systems) updated
BIOS, drivers low-level chipset and drivers of devices shipped major. Run
DriverView - value VIEW drivers hide Microsoft - update those without drain in their
name.

-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 displayed: load address
of the driver, description, version, product name, company that created the driver, and
more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

To check system drivers manufacturer as replacements and camera manufacturer who are most
current. Control Panel - device - Display Adapter Manager - note the brand and
fill out the template tab of the driver for your card video - double-click - write down the
the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind
certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver
stack.

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

Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration), and then
Site of the manufacturer of the device (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions.
(Review of the BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system while there).

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 install
actually arises. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed
(particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot - check is to be sure
installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat BTW to the manufacturers - manufacturers of devices DO WORK DO NOT THEIR SCANNER-
manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • How to make a background blur realistic looking to show that behind a dialog box?

    I'm prototyping a Flex in Fireworks CS4 application & have some pop up dialog boxes to display.  When they show the background should be blurred.  I know how to make them appear, but I can't get a nice blur effect that looks like the one you see in Flash.  I tried a transparent layer with different blur filters, but no aspect than realistic.  The information?

    Just go to the filters section in the property inspector Panel, first select your object on the Web (for example, the bottom), then click on the [+] sign sign in Filters > a small menu opens, select blur > Gaussian blur and change the value (0 = zero blur, 4 or more = a lot of blur). Later, you can change or remove the effect, which is good.

    I often use a Gaussian blur, especilly if I need make a blurry image...

    I hope this will help you!

  • How to avoid turning off Windows 8 when I install Windows Media Center?

    I purchased, downloaded, installed and activated Windows 8 Pro on my laptop. Then I asked for and received the key to Microsoft's free product for the installation of Windows Media Center.  I used the key and installed Windows Media Center.

    My laptop restarts automatically after the installation of Windows Media Center, but my Windows 8 Pro has been is no longer enabled. When I tried to use the product key of Windows 8 again to reactivate Windows 8, I got a message saying that this product key had already been used by another computer.

    I thought that maybe I had done something wrong, then just to make sure, I repeated the procedure as a whole: I reinstalled and reactivated Windows 8 Pro. I checked under "System" to ensure it has been activated and it was.
    Then I used the free Microsoft product key once again to set up Windows Media Center for the second time. When this facility was completed, and the computer restarted, Windows 8 Pro is no longer enabled. And for the second time, when I tried to activate it using the product key Windows 8 Pro, I got a message saying that this key has already been used by another computer.
    So my question is: how install and activate Windows 8 Pro and then install Windows Media Center without disabling Windows 8?

    I suffer from the same problem you describe and even followed the same steps that you did.  After having my windows disable the first time after installing windows media center, I did the installation 'clear all' and he always gave me the message that my key was in use after installation of Media Center.  One thing I noticed, the last five digits of the key it lists on the page to turn on, show my key of windows instead of my windows media 8 pro key.  It almost seems like my windows media center key is somehow get confused with my windows 8 pro key.

  • How can I stop any window maximizing when I move it?

    Windows 8 Pro 64, recent installation on the new version of the computer.

    I often have two or more open windows on the desktop. After you install a better graphic with drivers card, when I try to move a window, she flashes green on the edges of the screen and then maximizes. Then, when I restore down, the window comes up at the same place where he opened. It is VERY annoying, I have found no way to prevent this. In short, it seems that windows try to 'Act' W8 where maximizes the targeted window mode (AND these windows maximize WITHOUT reduce it or restore down button!). How can I change the settings (which, so far, I could find) to stop this action "auto expand '?

    None of these answers is 'applicable' to the problem. I stopped today by a W8 kiosk in a mall and asked the 'guru' it in this regard. The solution is to go to:

    Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease to access Center\Make the mouse easier to use

    And check the box under make it easier to manage windows:

    Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moving to the edge of the screen.

  • How to with Labview startup window hidden when Teststand start loading

    I have Teststand development enviroment and Labview development environment installed on my computer, my use of Labview teststand adapter applications. It is every time when I start the application being Teststand, Labview, window pop auto-start - up, I wish to customize this behavior to let Labview just show in the taskbar.

    When you distribute applications, everything has to run in the runtime engine (RTE). It should not require development environments (Dev Env) must be installed on the machine at all.

    That being said, I recommend you configure the TS LV adapter to run the screw into the TEN. Which will automatically get rid of dialog to launch like this is part of the Env of Dev of LV.

    Here's what I did:
    1. place all the files I want encrypted in a folder.
    2. I right click the folder, and then click "Properties".
    3. I click on "Advanced".
    4. in the menu 'Attributes' advanced, it doesn't let me check the "Encrypt contents to secure data".
    If there is someone who could help me in this problem, I am grateful gladly.
    Thank you in advance.

  • How can I change my Windows Live ID email address that was previously my alternative email address

    I'm changing my Windows Live ID to my own email address.

    When I tried this, I received the message "you can not use your email address as login Windows Live ID. Please enter a different Windows Live ID".
    OK, that makes sense: the address I tried to implement was already used for both the reset and as an e-mail email password (account > your e-mail addresses)
    So, I removed the e-mail address of both of those places (and confirmed the deletion by clicking the link in the notification was sent) and tried to change my Windows Live ID again.
    But I get always the same "you can not use your email address as login Windows Live ID. Please enter a different Windows Live ID" message, even if the address that I am changing is so nowhere associated with my Live account?
    Means that I can't change my ID at any address I've never previously used as an alternate email address?

  • How can I get the window 'Remember password' to show for more than 2 seconds?

    Many hotels offer wifi access with a good and an ID that you enter each time that you connect. Firefox easily stores the ID and the password so I don't have to worry about finding the right, but the gate of the hotel displays a pop up right after login. At the same time, Firefox offers to save the password and the popup is the prompt of password remember disappear.
    I can can this setting somewhere or get the prompt back?
    I'm never fast enough to click "remember password".
    Thank you
    Chris

    This happens on all websites, or just this one?

    If there is a key icon located on the left side of your address bar, you can click this option to open the password prompt again.

    If there is no key icon in the address bar, it is most likely because the site is configured to redirect to another page or a domain. Once you are redirected or navigate to another page, the password dialog box will disappear.

    Unfortunately, if this is the case, nothing you can do, as the redirect is probably in the codes of the Web site. The only option would be to try to stop the redirection Web site by clicking on the button stop in the address bar.

    You can also try temporarily turning the accessibility setting that prevents the redirection of Firefox Web sites. This can be changed from the advanced settings in the page options, on the general tab.

    Let us know if it works.

    Note: If you stop the redirection page, you probably to reload the page after you have saved the password, in order to allow the site load the appropriate content. If you turn on the warn me when forwarding setting, you will need to disable this feature, after you save this password, so that the website to function properly.
