My computer cannot join a homegroup. What do I need to fix this?

Similar Questions

• Two computers (Win7), a homegroup. Why second computer cannot join the homegroup?

  I have two new laptops, in the two running Win7.  Computer laptop 1 runs 64 bit.  Laptop 2 runs 32 bit.  CradlePoint router used to set up a network home.  Both computers show as being on the host of the CTR network.

  Set up a homegroup on 1 laptop.
  Laptop computer 2 "joined".  Laptop 2 could see and read the files from the laptop 1.  Computer laptop 1 could NOT see cell phone 2.

  Restart both computers.  Same problem (portable 2 is invisible for 1 laptop, if 1 cell is visible for laptop 2).

  Computer laptop 1 has left the homegroup, intending to join in an attempt to solve the problem.  Now, when 1 laptop computer attempts to join the network, the message is: "There are currently no homegroup on the network", with the offer of "create a homegroup."

  Laptop 2 shows that there is clearly a homegroup, and he joined.

  What should I do to join the existing laptop 1 to the homegroup?
  This could possibly be linked to the 64 bit OS?  Can't imagine it would, but I'm at a complete loss here!

  How to configure startup programs

  Something seems to be continually downloading in the background, and the computer is so slow, it is booting?

  Since the very little information you provided, I do not know why
  He runs slowly. But two points:

  1. first of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
  you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

  2. the computer running slowly is very often due to a malware
  infection. What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run?

• There is none its icon on the desktop, glancing in Panel configuration says "no audio devices available", but computer reads the startup sounds, what I can do to fix this?

  I have a mouse and Logitech wireless keyboard, and the kit supplied with the speakers that connect to a USB port. This good it worked until recently. When I hooked originally the wireless system, the speakers of original equipment that accompanies the computer Sony is working, so I removed pass them the place on my desk. I have genuine Windows XP with service pack 3 installed. I've recently updated the software for Logitech equipment, and I follow with Windows updates too. I have Norton antivirus protection, so I don't think I got a virus or something like that.

  Cordially... This is a Sony Vaio PVC-RS420 computer.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Have you tried to reset the device? Keep holding the home and power buttons at the same time and continue to hold until the Apple appears (compared to 30 seconds - really). If you see the Apple, the reset is progressing and the Slide to Unlock screen will display shortly.

  See you soon,.

  Hi Jason,

  1. What is the number of brand and model of your system and graphics card?

  2 did you a recent software or hardware changes to the system?

  This error can be caused by an application, including any old games you have installed on your system.

  Because you tried to reinstall the drivers for video card, you can try to perform a clean boot and check if it helps.

  A clean boot to check if startup item or services to third-party application is causing this issue.

  You can read the following article to put the computer in a clean boot:

  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
