Problem between Windows XP Home and Windows 7 Starter of file sharing

Hello, I have a problem with file sharing: my desktop computer running Windows XP Home Edition and my netbook runs Windows 7 Starter Edition.

On Windows XP, I shared a folder: Win 7 is able to open the directory and the files in the list, but there is no way I can open any file in the folder XP, nor that I can transfer the any of these files to my netbook.
All I get is an error "access denied."

The XP Workgroup is the same as the 7 home network, and the users have all the privileges on both computers.

Can you help me to sort out what is happening, please?
Thank you.
B.

As a first step, you have XP Home, which means that the 'Simple file sharing' is applied on this machine.  In addition, this means that any network connection on your XP Home of any another machine machine is forced to authenticate you as a user 'Guest', regardless of what a privilege that may be the real user.  In from here, it would seem that the 'Guest' user doesn't have privilege for the files or folders that you share.  To resolve this problem, you must change the access permissions to these files.

If you drag (move) files on your computer in your share folder, the origin on the file permissions will be maintained.  On the contrary, I would say that you copy the file to the shared folder by dragging with the right button of the mouse and select 'Copy' instead of 'move '.  A copied file will end with permissions for the destination folder that will be generally more suitable for sharing.

To the files and folders that are already in this folder, to change permissions, you must Access the 'Security' tab under the Properties screen.  In XP Home, this is possible if you log in as administrator in "safe" mode  To start your computer in Safe Mode (repeatedly tap the F8 during the startup key key), connect you as an administrator user, navigate to the file or the folder with problems of access, right-click on it, select 'Properties', select the 'Security' tab and set security such as 'everyone' (or 'guest') has the privilege of access you want.

HTH,

  • Windows XP Installation problem with Windows 7 Starter home

    I was told that I would have no problem of family Windows XP Setup on a new computer comes pre loaded with Windows 7 Starter.

    When I insert the CD with Windows XP, I get the following:

    Run setup.exe

    I click on install Windows XP

    Program is blocked due to compatibility issues.

    Setup cannot continue because the version on the computer is newer than the version on CD.

    Anyone know how to solve this problem and install Windows XP?

    Thank you Don

    Hello

    I understand that you want to install Windows XP on Windows 7 Starter Edition.

    (1) is the retail Windows XP version or OEM version, you are trying to install?

    Unfortunately, this is not possible. As the operating system installed on your computer is newer than the operating system you are trying to install.

    To resolve this problem, you need to do a clean install to install Windows XP, and you try to run Windows 7 Setup, it will not work. So, I suggest you to boot from the XP CD (if necessary, first change the boot order in the BIOS) and follow the instructions for a clean install. It will initially format the drive for you, so make sure you back up everything you don't want to lose to external media first.

    I hope this helps. Try the above steps and get back to us for assistance. We will be happy to help you.

  • Problem of Windows 7 open .exe files

    Hello

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    First of all, I would like to explain that I'm useless with computers and would be very happy if any help could come in the simplest possible explanation please.

    OK, here's the problem. Tried to open a .exe on my laptop (Windows 7) and it continues to open a box to ask what program to run with. I looked online, and it seems that it is a fairly common problem for windows 7. Have tried to use the advice provided on the website below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/950505

    I went through the fix it you article, which is the only one that works for windows 7, apparently, and when I'll be at the point where I'm typing: "REG IMPORT Exe.reg' in the command prompt, it comes up with an error message saying:

    "ERROR: error opening the file." There may be a disk or file system error. »

    I have absolutely no idea of what to try now. Tried bugs download off of other sites and following their instructions, and they do not seem to work either. Have also tried searching under the error message I have met, but this does not seem to provide any help either.

    Its really starting to annoy me, looking for just to play an old game and its transformation into a nightmare...

    I'm a pc and windows 7 was clearly not my idea!

    JESUS FINALLY! IF ANYONE HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH WINDOWS 7, THIS WORKED FOR ME:

    2 copy BETWEEN these lines and paste it into Notepad - save as - encoding (Unicode) - exefileFix.reg.
    then go to it to start - computer or Windows Explorer and right click on it and MERGER - REBOOT

  • Problem with MSINFO32. EXE and Total/available vs Page file space virtual memory reported

    I am running Windows XP Professional SP3 with all installed updates, latest hardware drivers, etc.. It is a CLEAN installation on a material brand new, completed a week ago.
    The "/ PAE" switch is enabled in the boot.ini file.

    When I run MSINFO32. EXE, the summary of the system is the following:
    System model: System product name
    System type: X 86-based PC
    Processor: x 86 family 16 model 4 Stepping 3 Mhz-AuthenticAMD ~ 3515
    The version of the BIOS/Date: American Megatrends Inc. 1702, 22/12/2010
    SMBIOS Version: 2.5
    Windows directory: C:\WINDOWS
    System directory: C:\WINDOWS\system32
    Starting device: \Device\HarddiskVolume2
    Locale: United States
    Layer of HAL: Version = "5.1.2600.5512 (xpsp.080413 - 2111).
    Username: username MYUSERNAME01\My (redacted for privacy)
    Time zone: Pacific Daylight Time
    Total physical memory: 8 MB 192,00
    Available physical memory: 2.60 GB
    Total virtual memory: 2.00 GB
    Available virtual memory: 1.96 GB
    Page file space: 7.07 GB
    File: E:\pagefile.sys

    Right click on 'my computer' and selecting 'Properties' shows exact needs to be visible to a 32 bit OS... 3.24 GB of RAM. So, how MSINFO32. EXE is able to detect all of 8 GB is totally beyond me. But this isn't my problem.

    My BIG PROBLEM is the virtual memory. If I open the root of my drive E:\, it shows the swap file to size: 4 096 MB. And that's how it is in 'my computer' > 'Advanced' > 'Performance' > 'Advanced' > 'virtual memory' > 'change'.
    Custom size:
    -Initial size (MB): 4096
    -Maximum size (MB): 4096
    Total size of file for all readers:
    -Minimum authorized: 2 MB
    -Recommended: 4978 MB
    -Currently allocated: 4080 MB

    Why is-MSINFO32. EXE, statement my total virtual memory 2 GB and the size of pagefile 7.07 GB? Neither is correct! Can someone explain just what the heck happens here? My research on Google, many other people report the same total/available virtual memory amounts, with wildly different hardware configurations. I changed the size manually and rebooted several times, without result. I had the pagefile, sitting in a 5 GB partition, and then he moved on to another drive with plenty of space and assign "System managed". Divergence still existed.

    The material is as follows:
    [|] ASUS M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3 BIOS v1702 [|] AMD PhenomII x 4 (970 Black Edition) [|] Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8 (x 2) mode modules together ~ 800 Mhz & calendar 8-8-8-24 [|] Integrated graphics card Radeon HD 4250 with 128 MB + 512 MB memory [|] ASUS VE248H 24 "1080 p HD LED monitor [|] Drives from Maxtor 6V250F0 (x 4) 250 GB SATAII 1.5 Gbps [|] LG BD - DL Optical Drive WH10LS30 [|] Creative Labs X - Fi Platinum Sound Card [|] Logitech LX 700 keyboard/mouse wireless [|]

    I changed the speed / "timing" on the RAM to run ~ 666 Mhz @ 9-9-9-24, and the problem persists. As far as I know, he is not actually detrimental to the system; that is, it does not regularly, crash or anything. But the fact that MSINFO32. EXE cannot obtain such a right basis is VERY disturbing for me. There is no state what operating system says it is, then what fundamental problem may arise at some point in the future? Or is already there, hidden and wait a moment when the system load is high until it rears its ugly head and denounces all?
    I wonder if I should completely eliminate virtual memory? Or at least reduce the pagefile to 2 GB or close? After all, I can't imagine many running programs as long as 3.24 GB (RAM available for the operating system) is not sufficient to contain all this. I guess only he pourrait happen, however, is why I'm reluctant to totally renounce virtual memory.

    Anyway. Responses of all appreciated. Gimme a solutionand I will give my first-born. Or at least the neighbors...

  • Windows Server 2012 Standard File Sharing - access denied?

    So I have a simple Pentium Dual core server here, and I'm putting in place local file sharing. For some reason any however I can't write files on the disk, even when you sign in as administrator of any computer in the network.

    I've been Googling the problem for hours and I found something on the deactivation of the audit, I did in secpol.msc, but I tried to disable it, and it will not always grant access.

    Is something directly above my head, or is it a problem in the file sharing himself?

    Sorry if I'm not providing a lot of details here, but I'm really frustrated about that. If you need any further information I'll post fortunately.

    Thank you for your time for reading.

  • Sharing problem between laptop XP Pro and XP Home PC network file

    I have a PC with XP Home SP3 which I want to be able to access from my work XP Pro laptop. I used to be able to do this, however, in recent years, I had to replace my disk file or reload due to errors or mechanical failure. Whenever I had to do this, it seems that my ability to access shared folders on the PC has decreased. I used to be able to access all files on the PC, even the C drive. More recently, I could no longer access the shared C drive, but could still access a folder. However, after the disk file was last modified, I can now only have access to the shared printer.

    More details - I can see all shared folders on the PC, but I can't open an any of them. I can ping the two systems together, by IP and hostname. My guest account is enabled. I tried to start the PC in safe mode and changing the permissions of the group. I tried disabling my firewall windows on the PC. None of these changes the errors I get. I am an administrator on both systems. NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on both systems. I had a 3rd party firewall (McAfee), installed as a trial, but the trial has failed and I uninstalled it. I have an XP Pro PC to work that I can access via this same laptop from work.

    Errors are 1130 system error - not enough server storage is available to process this command, or '\\computername\resource is not accessible. You might not have permission to use the network resource.

    Any ideas? I'm pulling my hair out here...

    I wouldn't say that we set the other problem. If I net use x: \\computername\resource, I still get the "not enough server storage message" and it doesn't seem to matter what I increase the IRPStackSize value to.  I ran the command net user as well, also without any change.

    Any other ideas?

    Hello

    If a computer is only connected to a switch, the automatic configuration is not valid.

    Autoconfiguration applies when a computer is connected to a server that can provide the configuration.

    Wireless routers have a DHCP server that provides a valid IP address.

    Ordinary switch is a transparent network device that cannot provide any configuration.

    When there is no DHCP server, the computer must be configured with a static IP address.

    Look at this page, http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/26/windows-7-static-ip/

    Follow the path as described in step 5 (Do not pay attention to specific numbers, your number is to be determined in accordance with your network plan).
