  Hello

  If your network contains computers running different versions of Windows, put all computers in the same workgroup.

  I suggest you to refer the steps mentioned from the link, this could help you share the printer on the network.

  Hi @OHIMATAS,

  I see by your post that you are unable to network that is connected the printer to the Windows XP computer, but Windows 7 computer. I can help you with this.

  Make sure that the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a guest or the other network.

  Print a configuration page to get the IP address of the printer.

  Print a Configuration Page.

  Try and access the printer on the Windows XP Embedded Web server.

  Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)

  It loads the page Web has?

  If you are unable to access SAP of the printer, check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer IP. They must match to be on the same network.

  Go to start, type executer run in the start search box, type cmd, and then type ipconfig.
  Check the IPV4 address.
  Now, check the IPV4 address for the printer.
  Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?

  Try and ping the printer.

  In the same window, type ping printers (space between ping and IP address) IP address
  What are the results?

  Run the Wizard add printer in printers and faxes, if you were able to access EWS of the printer.

  Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• Partition reserved system and several versions of Windows

  Separated from this thread.

  I noticed that later "versions" of windows 7 (Pro), instead of a 100 GB partition, build a 357 MB system reserved partition. This is also the case for all / most new systems that we receive with Win 7 Pro preinstalled where I work (part-time).

  This is also the case with the refurbished Dell OptiPlex 980 I bought last fall. It came with a 350 GB hard drive, the system reserved Partition was / is 357 Mb.

  After cloning partitions of windows 7 to a 750 GB hard drive and the narrowing of the Win 7 Pro ("C") 152,49 GB partition I installed Windows Pro 8.1 in its own partition in the GB 545,79 remaining.

  Windows 8.1 installed correctly, without any problem, using the system partition reserved 357 existing Mo created by windows 7. All major worked from the go and are still working fine today.

  I noticed that when I start to Win 7 Pro, & assigns the drive letter "D" to the partition Win 8.1 Pro and Win 8.1 Pro did the same thing with the partition Win 7 Pro. Of course, the boot partition must be 'C '. Apparently, modern operating systems are "smart enough" to recognize this and make the appropriate drive letter reassignments.

  Another note, I have two older systems Dell OptiPlex 620 (the two 32-bit) provided with Windows XP Pro installed. On the same Machine, after the "C" shrinking Windows XP to 25 GB Partition, I installed Windows 7 Pro (32 bit) on the remaining 207 GB. On the second machine, I shrunk Windows XP Pro 60 GB and installed Win 7 Pro on the 125 GB remaining. All of the work so far is fine.

  Windows 7 Pro did not build a Reserved Partition system on each computer (Opti-630). I'm assuming it uses the Win XP partitions on them. However, if I remember correctly, Bitlocker is not available in 32-bit versions, so reserved partition is not necessary. Perhaps the other files normally placed in this score are in a "special feature" in Win XP partition?

  Norm Ives

  Norman,

  There is some legacy features that are present in all versions of Windows, even Windows 10. One of them is the label C partition to the HARD drive partition where Windows is installed. At the time, when MS-DOS was in use and Windows 1.0, Windows was available as an add-on to the only existing MS-DOS and Windows cannot be installed directly without MS-DOS. Meanwhile, there were two present floppy drives, 'A' and 'B '. 'A' has the files of an operating system and 'B' is the disk storage for user files. So when the HARD drive came, it was the label 'C '. When Windows 3.1 came out, it was a huge plant at this time that it required a HARD drive for installation. The C label was added to HARD drive so HARD drive added. This legacy is maintained to this day. So you see what Windows installation, the installed Windows partition will be labeled as C only. It is also the reason why, every time that you add a floppy drive, the automatically assigned driver letter is or B and nothing else.

  Coming to the system reserved partition, it contains the boot files needed to start Windows (and also of BitLocker data, if any), but present in the Windows version where BitLocker is not present (as in the case of Windows 7 Home Premium). Up to Windows XP, the boot settings were managed by a file by the name boot.ini, present in C:\ (at the root of C:\). Then when you upgrading or switching from Windows XP, and that no unformatted partition is available, this means that a new partition cannot be created. In this case, the boot files will be will deposit in the Windows installation partition only. So system reserved partition will be created during the new installation of Windows Vista or later, but if upgraded from Windows XP, startup files will be deposit in the installed Windows partition only.

• How many connections to a shared folder is allowed in the different versions of Windows?

  I have Windows 2000 with a shared folder to which only up to 10 computers can connect. Is there a way to increase this limit, and if not, is this upper limit in later versions of Windows? Thank you.

  This is the limit on all but the server versions.

• Is it legal to use and the version of Windows XP OEM from an old computer (to be retired) to the lower-grade a Vista to XP computer?

  (I have a few Win XP computers running the great. And I like Win XP.)

  Here's the situation:

  I have also a Vista computer and a very very old computer Win XP.  This computer very very old win XP has been in the dust of basement collection and will be sent to the recycling center.

  Question:

  The two Vista and old Win XP computers came with the OEM version of windows.  (Not the retail version.)

  Is it legal to use the Windows XP from this very old (to be retired) computer to down-grade the Vista to XP computer?

  (Will do that if it is not legal.)

  Thank you

  Skip

  Sorry, no. You cannot move an OEM license on another computer.

  You can move the windows on a new computer

  If it's a full license or upgrade retail - Yes. You can move it to another computer as long as it is installed on one computer at a time (and if it's a version upgrade the new Windows computer must have its own license of qualification). The previous Windows installation on your old computer must be formatted or deleted. You will have to perhaps call Microsoft and explain what happened to complete activation. Turning it on the second computer will automatically be in effect 'disable' the license for the first computer.

  If it's an OEM license - don't. OEM licenses, including Windows preinstalled on a computer before purchase and Windows purchased separately, are related to the first computer, they are installed on and cannot be transferred to another computer. To install Windows on another computer, you will need to buy another copy.

• How to have 2 different versions of Windows on a pc?

  I want to be able to use both an English AND a Polish language version of Windows (XP, probably) on a pc - although not to use both at the same time! Is it possible to divide the disc in some way to do this?

  You talk about the partitions, you can have 1 hard disk divided into paragraph which will appear as several hard drives.

  When you install XP it will ask questions about the creation of a split partition the diffence then install xp on both partitions.

  If you have a hard drive with nothing on it, you can use SwissKnife (its free) to test what I say.

• File sharing between two computers with DIFFERENT Versions of Windows (XP & Vista)

  I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G router broadbad & am a n00bie to this any thng in network.  I like the current state of things now, all considering that both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my laptop wireless PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (local & Internet) BUT I can't seem to get things while my desktop PC sharing files which can then be read and otherwise accessible by the laptop.

  Here's what I'm trying to...

  * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via a private network (which I already managed to do)

  * Having the Office to share files that are accessible (wireless or not) from my laptop

  Essentially, I want to be able to use the TWO HDs according to needs.

  My office is an old computer AMD Duron 1 Ghz. with 512 MB RAM & can handle a FEW small spots, but the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of his speed & memory, I would like to have the laptop handle larger & more intensive tasks.

  Although my laptop has a smaller hard drive compared to my office (A 136 GB HD in the office (200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I guess this HD is around this size, but since it came pre-installed, & I am currently leasing to buy, I don't know), I would like to be able to use if possible of the TWO HDs.)  All I need is for both computers see the two HDs & all the files on it.

  I tried implementing the sharing of files, as shown elsewhere on the Linksys site, but he lost when I rebooted both my computers, since that's what the page told me to do (I followed Windows XP as the Office has all the files that I want to share & Windows XP is the operating system of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?

  In addition, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor I connected to the back end of my desktop PC & all simply use the laptop instead, because it does not take a lot of desktop space.  Y at - it an emulator "Virtual monitor" or software of some sort that I can download (for FREE please ) that will allow me to see the jobs of all the computers on my network, just as if I

  had REAL monitors?  If so, where could I find one?

  In short, together, I have accomplished a lot lately since I bought the router & linked computers, as you can see, I still need help & I've got some learning to do.

  Any help I can get would be MOST appreciated.

  See you soon

  Make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled...

  Also, make sure the computer are in the same workgroup...

  Default workgroup in Windows Vista has been renamed to WORKING group. In Windows XP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

  Also go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
  If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence on your firewall...

• Why a different version of windows 64 bit have different memory limit?

  Hello

  Version	Limit in 32-bit Windows	Limit in 64-bit Windows
  Windows 7 Ultimate	4 GB	192GO
  Windows 7 business	4 GB	192GO
  Windows 7 Professional	4 GB	192GO
  Windows 7 Home Premium	4 GB	16 GB
  Windows 7 Home Basic	4 GB	8 GB
  Windows 7 Starter	2 GB	2 GB

  I'm looking at the product of Windows 7 and I don't understand why he memory different r limit the operating system can support.

  Win7 starter: 2GB

  Win7 Home Basic: 8GB

  Win7 Home Premium: 16GB

  Win7 Pro, Enterprise, Ultimate: 192GO

  Is it related to performance (for example optimization of memory the kernel) or is it just marketing strategy Microsoft (binning)?

  Windows 7 Starter Edition hardware target that don't support not more than 2 or 3 GBs, making it a logical limit since most of the users will not upgrade such material and will stay with a WIndows 7 Starter or upgrade to another 32-bit edition that is more than a sufficient amount of memory to run efficiently.

  The limits of different memory for 64-bit editions is attributed to the fact that the average consumer (I mean the majority of them at least) won't buy or can afford a machine with 192 GB of RAM (which costs about US $50,000) and have no use for it. 8 GB is more than enough for most users of power, power of advanced users, scientists, engineers, and players, people media processing can even be satisfied with 16 GB of RAM. If you want to go beyond the limit of 16 GB, example of such scenarios include multiple virtual machines running or the rendering of a cinematographic film, you only choice would be Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition. Windows 7 Enterprise is available for only volume license customers. The 192GO range is really for the audience niche and winning the lottery.

  Hello

  I am wanting to legally install Windows 8 or 8.1 on a virtual computer. When I look at the Microsoft pages only, they seem to offer Windows 8 one update and I can't find a way to the purchase of a previous version either. Is anyone able to point me to an explanation in plain English what I should buy.

  Thanks for your help.

  If you need to install Windows 8 in a virtual machine, you must purchase the full version of license OEM System Builder. If you need to install Windows 8.1 in a virtual machine, you can buy the license of retail sales (which is a full version) or OEM System Builder License.
