Original title: Shared readers do not reconnect
I have two PCs connected wireless. A laptop (Vista Business) was the drives mapped to actions on the other PC (XP). Whenever the Vista PC is started or out of hibernation, or after only a short period of time these discs are not available. Click on the drive in Explorer to display the message "an error occurred during connection [drive letter]: [share name] Microsoft Windows network: the local device name is already in use." This connection has not been restored. »
If I click on 'Network' within Solution Explorer, the XP PC is not visible. The only way that I can "reconnect" these disks is to go into my anti-virus (Trend) and open the network map. This shows the XP PC and then the shares are available through Explorer - XP PC is still not visible by clicking network however.
It started only happens in the last two months - cannot locate exactly when, but quite recently. I use connections to store small files and backup critical files a few before nailing the laptop away and it is quite annoying to have to go through this routine every time.
Any ideas?
Just in case it helps others - I found that if I make sure that my XP PC has a fixed IP address, and then set up the shares so that they are defined using the IP address and not share names, then I do have more problems - seems like it's something to do with Windows solve the share names rather than something to do with the personal firewall after all.

I bought a "Windows Vista SP1 Upgrade disc" Wal-Mart and on the accident. I thought it was a full version, but turned out to be upgraded. How can I install this drive to upgrade on my computer if I do not already have an existing operating system?
You need a disk FULL/license to do a clean install, not an upgrade license.
Take it back to Wal-Mart and see if you can exchange it.

I bought the laptop in 2006. The windows is genuine, but I don't have the activation code. What should I do? I installed vista and because I had no code after about 4 weeks it will stop.

Original title: old Dell laptop broke down.
Hello
You can contact Dell and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.
They should do this for a small fee.
If this method has not been destroyed by the last re - install, and if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
With a Dell, you press F8 at startup and follow the instructions
http://www.Dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/KCS/KcsArticles/ArticleView?docid=266618
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

8.1 Windows "secureboot has not been configured correctly" watermark.
Hello world! Last night, I've upgraded to windows 8.1. It works perfectly, but there is a watermark on the bottom right corner saying "SecureBoot has not been configured properly to build 9600 ' but as I said otherwise the computer works perfectly. What should I do about it? My computer is HP Pavilion laptop g7 thanks in advance
A program like Belarc Advisor can be downloaded for free to scan your system and provide the key to the windows registry if necessary, but I don't think it helps in this case. However, it will show if SecureBoot is enabled or disabled.
I have a new G7 and updated for Windows 8.1 yesterday and received the same message. Finally, I fixed the problem by going into settings of UEFI by performing an advanced start. Once in the BIOS, it appeared that the SecureBoot keys have been corrupted by the update so I refreshed and activated.
1. go in settings-> laptop-> update settings and Recovery-> Recovery-> Advanced Startup - choose "restart now."
2. Once restarted, select UEFI firmware settings - then the computer should restart and allow you to select the BIOS updated
3. in the BIOS, go to system-> Startup Options Configuration
4. my G7 showed SecureBoot as being disabled. On the same screen, I selected the option to recharge the HP keys then went back up and allowed SecureBoot (before updating the keys that I was unable to choose SecureBoot). I selected the F key to save and exit and restart without watermark more.
Most of this is from memory so I hope that you all can follow and see if it helps your questions as well. Basically, you will need to get to the BIOS and verify that SecureBoot is on.

I'm on a Mac OS X (power pc)
After rebooting my computer today. Firefox has not been started. I clicked on the icon, it has begun to initiate and then stopped before that something happened.To try to solve the problem, I trashed the application and downloaded a new. He gave me a message: "the Firefox application cannot be launched-10661."
I retried the download and the second time, the Firefox application icon has been crossed out. It's a circle with a bar slash on it. Same message arrives.
Sorry, Firefox 4 is not available for Mac PowerPC. You can re - install the previous version from here:

missing volume control
volume control was gone. I tried to go into my control panel to use it, but I get an error that says:
"Windows cannot display the control volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel. »
I have lost my Windows XP disc in a move and can't reinstall the file to a disk, how to fix this?
When you use certain features sounds and Audio devices, you see a message like this:
Windows cannot display the control of volume on the taskbar because the Volume control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove programs in Control Panel.
It seems that the c:\windows\system32\sndvol32.exe file is missing.
This may occur if your antivirus/antimalware application thinks the file is suspicious and quarantines (effectively delete) the file. You can replace the missing file with a backup copy of the file that is in another folder on your system.
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..
Assuming that Windows is installed on your C drive...
We know that XP keeps copies of critical system files in the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
Using the Explorer, search for or navigate to the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32\dllcache
Locate the sndvol32.exe file, right-click, choose copy (it copies the file to the Windows Clipboard).
If your Solution Explorer settings are not set to display file extensions, you will see only a file called 'sndvol32' which has an icon that looks like to the volume control slider (this is the file you need).
If the file is missing in the dllcache folder, look for a copy of the file in this folder:
c:\windows\ServicePackFiles\i386
Browsing from a level in the following folder:
c:\Windows\System32
Right-click on an empty area in the window of c:\windows\system32 and choose Paste to paste in the missing file where it belongs.
Answered in the affirmative if invited to replace the existing file.
Now try your features sounds and Audio devices.
Note that run sfc/scannow will not replace the missing file because it is not this that sfc/scannow does.
