• Will it hurt my settings if I change my Windows Vista PC from a computer in working group on a home PC?

  I have a Windows Vista Home Premium, I had some problems and had to do a system restore. I put a different name for my computer, I am the administrator. I did have the time to add a user account. Anyway, I wasn't paying that much attention to the WORKING GROUP or the HOUSE of CP. I feel that I can have messed up things, once again! I'm afraid that if I change the name or change the name of my computer and change it to page HOME of CP instead of WORKING GROUP, I have will not have access to Microsoft Internet Explorer? I don't see anything regarding a field in this area. Could someone help me with this, I want to change my WORKING GROUP home of CP.

  Hello

  You can change the name of your computer as the computers on a network can be part of a workgroup or a domain. The main difference between the areas and working groups is the management mode of the network resources. Computers on home networks are usually part of a workgroup, and computers on networks to work are usually part of a domain.

• Domain and workgroup

  Hello

  I have 2 NETWORK card on my pc. INA joined area that I can see other clients in my network places. and another static IP on a workgrup.

  My problem is that I can't see the customers on the workgrup. What should I do?

  Please help... Thank you

  Oh - sorry for my bad English :-))

  You cannot be attached both a domain and a workgroup at the same time. It won't work. If you are connected to a domain, you will not be able to see the resources on a network of working group and vice versa.

• You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact your administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. (Vista)

  I get this message from a computer on which I'm putting the print share and I put on for the sharing file and printer sharing on both computers, but he repeats to me by saying that even please help message.

• Win 7 - Wondows 2003 Server

  This new HP computer running Windows 7 Business Pro x 64.  I have a workgroup, and a homegroup.  The Working Group, there is a computer that is running Windows Server 2003.  I can see some folders in it but cannot acess files into it.  I get the message: "Windows cannot access \\MARS2\Downloads.  "You don't have permission to access \\MARS2\Downloads.  Contact your administrator needs access network. "I am logged in as"Larry. "  On the Windows Server 2003 server it is a "Larry" with the same password and is a member of the "Administrators" group and the Windows Server 2003 is part of the working group.  This has been an area, but is now a working group.  What Miss me?  Please send a copy to {deleted personal information} thanks,

  Larry

  Thank you.  Yes, file and printer sharing were lit.  The solution was that when they asked permission, they requested an account on the machine in question (what I had).  Under permissions, that one is supposed to enter the account on the machine in question, that is, \\MARS2\Larry, not the account duplicated on the computer that requires access to the file (\\LMRWKSTN10\Larry) that I had done.  Finally, I changed a lot of them to 'All' I didn't so not cope.  It is my understanding that the 192.168.x.x is not routable from the outside anyway.  When you switch from a domain to a workgroup, apparently there is no central authority for permissions.

• How to rehabilitate the Parental control?

  During the installation process of Windows 7, I made a mistake: I chose the domain Mode (when should I choose the user Home Mode) there are three butterflies.

  When I try to run games with side as an adult, I have can´t access.  It appears messages like 'Parental controls blocked this game' or 'you don't have permission to run the game.  Check the Parental control in the game Explorer window.

• Remove computer/network on Vista

  I can't remove the computers and devices on the network in Vista folder as I could in previous versions of Windows.  I can't seem to find a way to disconnect, remove or delete, I can't find 'help' related topics, except for the 'Add' a computer or device, that I already know how to do.

  Hi TeeJay45,

  Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site!

  Is your computer connected to a domain or a workgroup?

  If you don't want your computer on a network, you can unplug it without having to disconnect all cables. Alternatively, you can disconnect your computer from shared network drives that you no longer use.

  1. Open network connections by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking network and Internet, click network and sharing Center, and then clicking manage network connections.
  2. Right-click on the network that you want to disconnect, and then do one of the following:
     • To a network wireless, access to remote, virtual private network (VPN), or incoming connection, click Disconnect.
     • For a local area network (LAN) connection, click disable.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  If you disable a connection to the local network, the network card is disabled until you reconnect.

• How do I upgrade to Windows 7 Pro without reinstalling the operating system?

  I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

  Unfortunately, your only option now would be to buy a full version or upgrade to Windows 7 professional retail license and use the product key with the Express Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Wizard. It is, it's expensive:

First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.
