I can't get my old laptop on my home network to be visible to my new desktop pc
I have a new HP Pavilion P6-2120 Tower and cannot do 'see' my old laptop on my home network.
Hi Pauol,
Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community.
I see that you are unable to see the computer on your home network.
Quick questions:
- If it works well before?
- How many computers are connected to the network?
- What operating system is installed on the "old" laptop?
Try these steps and check whether you can see the old laptop on the home network.
Step 1:
Check if the parameters of home network is set up correctly.
See this link for more information:

Step 2:
Now, try the steps from the following link:

If the installation provided with your Windows computer discs was preinstalled on the computer - it is OEM and cannot be moved. You can move Windows to another computer if you buy the retail version.
You can move the windows on a new computer
If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.
If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

All my old tabs are missing after a crash. I chose "view my tabs, windows and last time ', like the start option. Many unwanted changes in tab management happened recently. For example when I close a tab in a window of the two tab, I see a blank screen (see picture). Preview display seems to be broken (see attachment). How can I get the old behaviour back?
After researching the issue, it seems that the problem was a problem of NoScript configuration. After restoring NoScript to the default values, the tab number disappeared.
Thanks for your help.

How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?

How can I get my Toshiba laptop to print to my HP 4500 printer wireless?
Hello pastor,
Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.
Thank you for your query details.
I also like the fact you want to set up a wireless printer.
When you connect a printer to your computer, or add a new printer to your home network, you can usually start printing immediately. Windows supports most printers, and you'll probably go out your way to install the special printer software. If you use Windows 8.1 or 8.1 RT Windows, additional printers and drivers are available through Windows Update.
I suggest you follow the steps in these articles and check if it helps.

I can't connect to another computer on my home network
I can't connect to my desktop PC to my laptop on my home network. Until a few weeks ago, I had no problem.
- There are several disks on the desktop, none of which is available.
- Both devices are running Windows 7 Ultimate.
- I can connect to my laptop from my desktop but not the reverse.
The Network Diagnostics tool tells me that my laptop seems to be configured correctly. The message is "Windows cannot communicate with the device or resource" followed by the name of the desktop in parentheses.
I use Norton 360 (completely up to date) on each device and I checked the firewall on both settings. Remote connection is not available, no more, even if it is allowed on the desktop.
I hope you can provide a solution. If any additional information is needed, please let me know.
Fixit link in http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/why-can-t-i-join-a-homegroup, did not.
However the link itself gave me the idea of watching my homegroup. I removed the old Homegroup and created another... everything is now fixed!
Thank you for your time.

I'm trying to connect my pc with my pc upstairs downstairs (both HP pcs. 1pc is Vista, the other is 8.1). Now, I guess I'm on the right track to connect both PC and trying to establish them as a group residential when I get to the page of the homegroup, it reads 'this computer cannot connect to a homegroup' Finally I get 'service Homegroup provider is not running.
How can I connect my 2 parts forming a home network?
Thank you DVSMSC I missed it - you have reason. Homegroup is introduced in Windows 7 and works in 8 / 8.1 / 10 also, but not back to Vista.

I lost my phone awhile back and now have a new. I was wondering how I could install creative suite 6 on the new laptop when it does not disable it on the old laptop? I had not used my 2nd install either, so I was wondering if I could use the 2nd install with the same account? And if yes, how do I do that?
Yes, you could use the second installation. Alternatively, you can contact Adobe Support by chat or phone and havce them take care of turning off for you.
