My laptop running on VISTA can see my desktop running on XP Media but I can't get to the desktop.

I think the problem is with the firewall on the desktop computer. I get Windows cannot start the ICS service. I have reset the winsock.

Using a router or ICS? Is this a new problem or are you unable to put in place the file/printer between two computers share? If the latter:

Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

For XP, start by running the Network Setup Wizard the on all machines (see warning in section A below).

Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine. With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

(B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

(C) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. Create accounts of users and corresponding passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

XP - set up Windows to automatically connect (MVP Ramesh) - http://windowsxp.mvps.org/Autologon.htm

Vista - Start ORB > Search > type: netplwiz [Enter]
Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

D. Si one or more of the computers is XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

E. create share as you wish. XP Home does not share the users directory or the Program Files, but you can share folders inside those directories. A better choice is to simply use the Shared Documents folder. See the first link above for more information on Vista sharing. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Change the screen resolution

Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

If by "computer of new beginning" you mean that you have started your recovery or disk restore factory set and reinstalled Windows, then the ability to recover your files is practically zero. You can try a utility like Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) but since you have rewritten the entire hard drive, it is highly unlikely that anything will be recoverable.

DSC_2429 is in the shown locaton and present in all the Photos, but there is no folder "Tulsa"... "in the tree.

The left pane is a "choose one". "All photos" are just that. 'G' is a different option.

Lightroom is not a file Explorer. He knows only the drives and files that you have imported the photos of. If LR shows not all of the photos that are on your hard drive, it is because you did not import all photos.

If LR shows you a photo in "all photos" but do not show it in the folder you think he is in, go to "all photos", select the image, right click "view in the library folder. This will show you where LR think the picture is.

Hello

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I should be able to help.

Internet connection issues are widely available and vary from one case to another. Your question, however it seems that the most likely cause is that your computer's firewall prevents your applications to connect to the internet. You can check this easily by:

1. go to the Start Page of Windows 'default Page of Windows 8.

2 mouse hover in the top right of the screen then click on the search"" button.

3. type in 'Control Panel' after a brief search you will see a button at the top of the page left labled 'Control Panel' click on this button and you go in desktop mode and allow you to navigate in the control panel.

4 from there, click on the tab labeled "system and security."

5. then, click on the second option in the list titled "Windows Firewall"

6. the first thing you want to do is to check if you are on a "private" or "Public network" (a private network is usually the safest and although on this type of network, you are less likely to be vulnerable to attacks, Public network are accessible by anyone and give a greater risk).

7 the right it will say Private Networks Connected / not connected and below that it will say comments or connected/not connected networks public. Most computer security settings differ based on your type of connection, if you are on a network audience of settings on your computer will be more strict and could prevent your programs connected to the internet. (Say if you are connected to a private network, you can probably exclude this.)

8. If you are connected to a private network and your programs don't always work correctly in the top left of the window under "Control Panel Home" you want to click on the option "allow an app or feature through Windows Firewall."

9 a list first your "Internet Capable of programs" quickly browse and find that you are having problems with and take note of the checkboxes next to them. If no box is checked, you will want to allow them to connect. Do this by clicking on the "Edit settings" button located in upper right

10 you want then allow your program through the firewall, this by simply checking the box next to it. (Note that if the Public network that can leave your computer vulnerable or higher risk)

11 after doing this click ok, now go back and try to run your program and see if the problem is resolved.

12. If you cannot find your program, click the "Allow" another app... button and navigate to your programs (usually in the folder C: / drive in the folder programs.) and choose your program and adjust the settings to allow through the firewall.

13 if this does not solve your problem, and the problem persists, try to go into Internet Explorer, by clicking on the gear in the top right and open Internet Options. Go to the Security tab and check how strict your settings are. You should be able to click on "Reset to Default" to solve this problem, if that's the problem. (Located at the right bottom)

I hope that this helps if not let me know and I'll give you some suggestions.

Thanks for your time, I hope this has helped.

You may experience this problem if the connections between your computer and your monitor is loose or if the drivers of graphics cards is corrupted. Try these methods and check if that helps:

Method 1: I suggest you to update the latest drivers for the graphics card for Windows 8 and check if it helps:

http://WWW8.HP.com/in/en/support-search.HTML?tab=1#/qryterm=HP%20envy&SearchType=s-002

Method 2: Visit the COA Web site and install the latest drivers by selecting the drivers of the AOC monitor for your model and see if it helps:

http://www.aocindia.com/service_manual_monitor.php

See the documentation for your monitor and see if you can find the menu to restore default settings. If the problem persists I suggest you to contact the manufacturer (AOC) for assistance.
