Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

Hello

My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

I hope you understand what I mean.

The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

> The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.

That's nonsense for me
The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

  • My laptop with Win7Pro 32 bit does not read the new USB drives.

    Hello!
    When you insert a new USB device in my computer with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, I have a problem with the installation of the driver for this device.
    At the same time with the old devices, where the driver was successfully installed before, there is no problem, everything works fine.
    I checked several new readers: my kindle fire tablet, USB keys and external usb HDD. There is no problem on other computers with them.
    Some information about the system:

    • Laptop HP EliteBook 8440p;
    • 3 ports usb 2.0 + 1 port usb 2.0 & eSATA port;
    • Windows 7 Pro 32-bit (Russian edition) SP1 (with the latest updates).

    What I was trying to do:

    1. Remove the device driver, unplug the device in the connector, and then install the rear unit.
    2. Even with a simple reboot system;
    3. Manually and automatically update the device driver - the result, get a message: "system windows found a driver for this device, but when you try to install these drivers, it was a mistake. USB mass storage device. File not found"(translation from Russian);
    4. I checked the presence of files: etc in the folder windows\inf and USBSTOR usbstor.inf, usbstor.pnf. SYS windows\system32\drivers.

    6. I tried to follow a tip on a site and deleted INFCACHE.1, but it did not work.

    Looks like you may have a virus or other malware. Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    If that suits him fine. If this is not the case, use system restore to go back to an earlier date at the beginning of the problem. To run system restore, click Start-> programs-> Accessories-> System Tools-> system restore. Click on the box that says show more restore points.

    You can check the corrupted system files. Open an administrator command prompt and run SFC if the above does not help. Click START, and then type sfc in the search box, right-click to SFC. EXE and click run as administrator. Then, from the command prompt type sfc/scannow.

    Finally if all else fails, you can look at the rather cryptic system event log. To make, click Start-> Control Panel-> administration-> event viewer tools. Once in Event Viewer system log-click and scroll entries looking for these "error" with indicator see if you can find guidance on where the problem may be.

    I hope this helps. Good luck.

    It's sad to see how Samhrutha answer to the question in this way.

    The driver does simply not good.
    The only option to address this situation in the meantime a driver that works, disable features in ' Configure, Advanced tab "on the actual card.
    Different properties exist here. Try to enable / disable some of them. It helped for me on Win7 x 64 ASUS MB.

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?

  • Sansa clip + does not see the audio books I have loaded

    I got my Sansa Clip MP3 player + for two years and it works very well, so far.  I only use it for audio books.  Recently, I reformatted the player and loaded new books in.  When I went to read, the audio books folder was empty.  I have connected the player to the computer again, and the books were in the audio books folder, where I had loaded.

    I've updated the firmware to the V01.02.16A Version, and there was no change.  I tried to reset by pressing the start button. No change.

    Memory has 3750 MB with 3135 free, indicating that there are books in memory, but the player does not see the.  What is going on?

    That's all!  I checked the format of audio files.  It is the AAFC, with suffix .m4a.

    The Sansa manual says:

    "The Sansa® MP3 Player will support MP3, WAV, WMA, secure WMA, FLAC, Ogg Vorbis and audiobook formats.  I guess that AAC is not one of the formats that they support.  So I have to convert .m4a to .mp3.  I guess there are a lot of tools to do it.  Any suggestions about which one is the best?

    Thanks a lot for this revelation.
