New Windows 8 connect to a homegroup based on a Windows 7 computer.

I have a new computer running Windows 8 and a residential group based on a Windows 7 computer, two flags of HP 64-bit.  My problem is that, after not having not used for several hours, the machine of Windows 8 does not connect to the homegroup.  The message itself, is that the network address is not recognized.  When I click on the button "Diagnose" the message comes back saying my connection has been refused by the host, I guess this means that the Windows 7 machine where rests the homegroup.

Should the residential group rely on the machine Windows 8?  The connection is wireless and I made sure none of the adapters are disabled in the settings of power on both machines.  The new machine has replaced a Windows 7 laptop which had been in place for 18 months and works fine but on cultivated.

The problem has proved to be a parameter in Windows 8, which enabled him to turn off the different hardware components to save energy.  One of these components has been the network adapter AND the wireless adapter.  Souinds as two different things for me, but they are actually the same thing, so only change the network card like HP told me does not resolve the issue.

My son-in-law has suggested that since the machine is a desktop computer, and I never turn off any way, just deselect all options of conservation of power on the components.  As soon as I put the wireless adapter, everything was fine.

Windows 8 or the way the machine is design for energy saving, all went a little over Board.

    If these are apps you added and want more, you can use the functionality of your computer factory restore. Unfortunately, this erases the disk and leave you with a double précis of his State when you turned on for the first time.  Then, you would have to do all the updates of Windows and then install all the programs you want.

    Otherwise, use programs uninstaller (from Control Panel) for each application that you do NOT want to uninstall.

  • Instructions for using Windows Easy Transfer from Vista computer to a new Windows 7 computer.

    I bought a new computer today that works under Windows 7. The old computer is running Windows Vista 32 bi my new computer is a 64-bit Windows 7 computer. So dumb I didn't find instructions for using Windows Easy Transfer to transfer my files from the old computer to the new. I already have a USB data transfer cable and the disk that came with it does not work with Win 7 However with Windows Easy Transfer that wouldn't do not necessary anyway. So my need for Instructions bo accomplich the task.

    I gathered al records original program that I need to install the necessary programs on the new computer.

    Any help or URL available covering my needs transfer will be much appreciated.

    Remails a question. My venus of cable data transfer with a disc Intelemover with Windows Easy Transfer is that the disc is no longer necessary with WET?

    It has nothing to do with Windows Easy Transfer (Intellimover that is).

    You can probably use the cable - if you wish.  I prefer to use a large external USB drive or share network - this way, that I have a copy of all that I could move to multiple computers or almost as a backup at low cost.

  • Transferring Outlook Express files from old XP machine to new Windows 7 computer?

    Is it possible to do it and get all the information from Outlook Express in Thunderbird? Tried several different methods without success. Transfer of Windows is says "no file found". I'm assuming that the files must be on the same computer so that it works?
    Thank you

    You are welcome!

    To find the folder on the old computer, start Outlook Express, and then click Tools > Options > maintenance > store folder .  By default, this is C:\Documents and Settings\Settings\Application Data\Identities\ {string of letters, numbers-} \Microsoft\Outlook Express.  To see it, enable the display of hidden files and folders in the Control Panel > Folder Options > view .

    Close Outlook Express, and then copy the entire folder to the new computer by using a network connection, external drive, USB flash drive, etc.

  • Lexmark X 8350 printer will not work on the new Windows 7 computer

    My new computer has Windows 7 and I can't get my Lexmark X 8350 to work, I tried to download a driver of Lexmark and it does not work.  I called support for PC World and the person said that I would need to buy a new printer, but in this day and age that's just seems stupid.

    Hello!

    Do not connect the printer to the computer with the usb cable. Try to uninstall all Lexmark software from your computer correctly by clicking on the Windows logo start menu > programs > Lexmark Series folder > tools > uninstall. Restart the pc. Also, check if your Windows 7 is running on the operating system 32-bit or 64-bit by clicking on the Windows logo start menu > right-click on computer > properties.

    Now, there is no driver Lexmark X 8350 specific for Windows 7, however, the Vista driver works. For the software, go to this link: http://bit.ly/cK7w07 (for 32 - bit) or this link: http://bit.ly/9pAWzM (for 64 - bit). Download and install the software. Follow the instructions. I hope this helps.

    I have no other problems in my pc or tv... cards all drivers are up to date.

    Here is my desktop specs:

    model of motherboard is asus b85m-k

    Hello Faysal,

    Thank you for visiting Microsoft Community.

    As described in the question, I understand that your two cards of Gadmei USB TV Tuner does not work on your Windows 7 desktop. The same card works fine on another computer in Windows 7 with the same configuration.

    I would be grateful if you can provide us with the following information to help us better understand the issue.

    1. What happens when you plug-in card TV Tuner? Your computer will detect the device? Do you have a code or a message when it fails to connect?
    2. Did you check connecting them via a different USB port?

    There may be a possibility that drivers for Gadmei TV sticks are not correctly installed on the computer. We will try these methods below and check if that helps.

    Method 1:

    First of all, I suggest you to run the following Microsoft Fixit to get the problem diagnosed and fixed automatically.

    Hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows

    http://Support2.Microsoft.com/mats/hardware_device_problems?WA=wsignin1.0

    Method 2:

    If the fixit above does not resolve the problem, I suggest to download the best compatible driver on the device manufacturer (Gadmei) site or contact Gadmei to get the best driver for your computer and install it.

    You can also read the article below to help update the device driver.

  • Transition from old computer to a new Windows XP computer

    I brought a personal computer and you want to install Windows XP Home Edition from my old slow computer to the new computer. Also, I don't know the old computer. Please advice how can I do?

    If the license on the old computer is an OEM license, sure you can not because it is linked to the original computer its installed. If it is a full commercial license, you can. Just make sure you have all of your required drivers for when you are installing.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I load the classic games such as Solitaire and FreeCell on my new Windows Vista computer?

    I just bought a new computer with Windows Vista business.  It comes with games, but not the classics that I'm used to.  I would like to be able to download classic Solitare and Free Cell.  Can you tell me where to get them and how to download them?  Thank you.

    joshuasmama,
    Well, I'm not familiar with this games has on the Business edition.  However if the games are available and all simply not loaded then you can load the as follows:

    Click Start > Control Panel > programs > "Turn Windows features on or off" (it is listed under the "programs and features")
     
    A window opens with a list of all Windows components that are available.  If it has a check mark next to it, then he is responsible. Then go to the 'Games' folder, click on the + to open the folder.  If the games you want are listed and unverified, then put a check mark next to them and click OK.  They will then arrange.

    If already, he has control and is not in your list of games, and then uncheck the box, click ok, restart, and then back in, check it out.

    Try and let us know what happens.

  • How can I import playlists in Windows Media Player in XP to my new Windows 7 computer?

    I found and preserved from the old machine to xp, WMP Playlist files. How to import them into the new W-7 machine Pro? I have several long reading lists and rebuild seems them such a waste of time... I think that the playlists can simply be transferred.

    The files are PLAYLIST. CDX; READING LIST. DBF; READING LIST. FPT; and playlist.dat. (I think). They were previously under Documents and Settings Application Data etc in XP. Is there a place in W7 I can stick and I WMP to recognize them? Is it really that simple?

    You will not be able to use if the files are not in the same exact spot. If you had backed up your computer running Windows XP by using Windows Easy Transfer, your personal files (music - playlist, docs, pictures, photos, and contacts) was saved and be much easier to import and maintain.
