I tried to set up a homegroup with my netbook (windows 7 starter edition) and printer, Pc (windows 7 Home premium). PC and printer were already on this residential group.

The other was found nor a computer. I run the troubleshooter homegroup several times without success.  I have Norton antivirus installed on both computers. Would be Norton prevent computers find each other?

Thank you

    You can connect otherwise?  USB or FireWire or love at first sight?  You can connect both machines and start the one you want to transfer to target disk mode.  If your other machine is up and running with an account on it and you just want to move files, you can simply drag and drop the FRO the machine mounted TDM, or you can use the migration wizard.

    Or, if the other machine still starts and runs, you can start both computers and connect to the same wifi network and share the hard drive like machines on the network.  Access them in the finder on the new machine files and drag-and - drop, or use the wizard migration, on wifi.

    Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.

    Public share

  • When I am on messenger I continues to disconnect and I can't video chat. I can see the person, but the person cannot see me.

    as I have said, I continue to disconnect from windows Messenger and video chat does not work. I can see the person and they can't see me.

    Hello

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         What version of windows messenger do you use?

    ·         Have you updated the drivers for your sound card, video card or Web camera?

    ·         Have you tried to add your webcam to the conversation, adding audio?

    ·         What kind of camera do you have to Web?

    ·         This problem occurs with just a touch or all contacts? »

    (a) start Windows Live Messenger and sign in.

    (b) prior to connect to anyone, open the menu "Tools" then click on "Configuration video / Audio.

    (c) perform the tests and click on 'next' and confirm the webcam is the video display and then click "Finish."

  • 5110 printer wireless but the software cannot see the IP address

    Hello. I have a new printer Photosmart 5110. I turned on and it found my wireless network. I entered the key wireless and got an IP 192.168.1.68 and connected is displayed.

    I have an ASUS Netbook. It doesn't have a CD player, so I had to download the HP Photosmart installation software. I am running XP. When I run the installer, it asks if I have a printer connected wireless network. I enter the IP address and the message says printer not found.

    I use a BT Home Hub. When I log on the hub I see the printer and IP address.

    I can ping the IP address of the laptop.

    I can access the printer directly using Internet Explorer and entering the printer IP address - and I can print a test page with success.

    I have Norton Security and I turned off the firewall.

    I can't get the installation software to see the IP address of the printer.

    Don't you think that there is a problem with Norton blocking the IP (if so, how unlock) or something to the BT Hub?

    Can you help or give ideas I can try before I bring her to the store.

  • on windows xp, my system restore to a previous restore point. have you tried many restore points & creating new ones but the system does not restore. all the solutions out there?

    on windows xp that my system restore to a previous restore point, I tried many restore points & created new ones but the system displays "could not be restored", any help out there.

    Let see... What do we know about your system environment:

    It's windows xp.

    If we knew more, you would probably now.

    What is the problem that you are experiencing this thing you System Restore will be remedied?  System Restore is not a time machine.

    The system restore already worked successfully in the past?

    Thank you MS Answers, allowing the resolution of simple problems like frustrating and a lot of time as possible by asking only not for any information system when a new question is asked.

    Provide information on your system, the better you can:

    What is your system brand and model?

    What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?

    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..

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

    The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

    You have a true bootable XP installation CD (it is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

    If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.  Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.  It works for some configurations.
    System Restore is sometimes so afflicted or Restore Points are suspicious, the best solution is to reinstall your system restore.  This will remove the old Restore Points, but sometimes it's the only way to fix a broken system restore.  You don't have to reinstall XP, only the part of system restore.
    That can leave you with your problem of unspecified origin that you hope the system restore will fix (using a system restore is usually not equivalent to fixing the problem though).
    Give these ideas some consideration if they apply to you.
    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.
    No matter what you use for protection against malware, I do so and then only begin to solve any problems:
    Download, install, update and do a full scan with these free malware detection programs can solve any problems:
    Malwarebytes (MMFA): http://malwarebytes.org/
    SUPERAntiSpyware: (SAS): http://www.superantispyware.com/
    It can be uninstalled later if you wish.
    The scans by operating clean, reboot, test and we can fix any other issues.
  • Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install it. The system cannot find the specified file.

    Original title: Windows encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...

    Arrrrgh!  Had a terrible time trying to get the scanner function works on my Epson Stylus CX7000F.

    I get the too common but seemingly irreparable "Windows has encountered a problem installing the software driver for your device...". Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to intall it. The system cannot find the file specified. "

    The job of printer/copier/fax end but not go on the scanner.

    I tried the 'fixes' to epson.com repeatedly with no luck.  This includes their reccomendation uninstall/install several times, trying even to this process in safe mode and clean boot the.

    I ran the program to 'fix' Microsoft ATS with no luck.  It has detected the error and said that the problem has been resolved, but guess what?  No, it isn't.

    I clicked on install update driver/driver from Device Manager.

    I tried the work around, eliminating the "LowerFilters" of the registry.  Guess what?  You have it, no luck.

    So, before I go and buy a new printer/scanner, with no guarantee that they will work.  Does anyone have another suggestion?

    I am running Vista, 32-bit.

    You can also try and replace or install the ntprint.inf file.

    I had a similar problem on a Windows 7 PC and noticed that this file was not present.  I just copied the file from a different PC Win7.  The printer, I tried to install was a Brother MFC-J410w.

    The file can be found here C:\Windows\inf
