original title; Home network between XP and 7? Help

I have 3 computers in my house. two are on XP Pro and later that a small notebook is Windows 7. I don't seem to be able to bind the workgroupos XP for the homegroup 7? I want to have all 3 on my home network. How do I do this with two operating systems?

Homegroup can only be used where all computers that are running Windows 7.  The two following links provide information on how to network Windows 7 and XP computers:

  • Trying to set up a network with windows 7 Home premium

    I'm trying to set up a network on windows 7 Home premium, but could not find this secpol.msc. I read the posts on the guy with vista home premium and similar problems. I tried the advice given to him:

    Open regedit and locate the key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contrl\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel

    Set this value to 1 (is default on 3) "send LM and NTLM".
    See the Q823659 knowledge base 

    I got in the case of the LSA and found no LmCompatibiltyLevel, he was not in the file or it contained a folder with that name.

    I also read a post from someone about windows 7 as follows:

    On Windows 7 Home Premium, secpol.msc or this registry key is set.

    However if you add a new key named LmCompatibilityLevel DWORD value at the specified location and the value of '1' it seems to work to allow
    "Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated".

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\LmCompatibilityLevel

    But my problem I do not know what he meant by 'DWORD '.
    If someone could help with this problem, it would be great.

  • Can play.wma files fully but only seconds of .mp3 files on a home network with Windows 7 and WMP 12.0.7601 wireless

    Hello community,

    I have a problem with Windows Media Player 12.0.7061 when I try to listen to music through my home network Windows 7.  Windows Media Player has no problem playing the media all types of files locally on the Windows 7 system.  On my home network, .wma files play well through the (Pioneer) wireless speaker, but .mp3 and .mp4 files only play for the first ~ 5 seconds and then the audio stops.  If I wait long enough, Windows Media Player will skip to the next song and continue to play the .wma file.

    Is this a problem of DRM?  My home wireless network is too slow to allow .mp3 or .mp4 fully transmit the wireless speaker?

    Thank you!

    Problem dealt with.  It's a problem of bandwidth of wireless network.

    Original title: cannot share the file, help!

    Hello.

    I just got a macbook the other day, the mac was pretty easy to understand how to set up for file sharing. It is installed on my pc and that you can view the files mac very well. However, I can't the PC to share files on mac to save my life. I didn't actually work earlier pretty ok, just read a comment online, but then the mac has had a problem with a hard drive so they just replaced with a new computer. I had the same model. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. As he asked a username and password for my PC to connect and view files (so I thought a lot of outside). I entered the same username and password for PC information, I entered earlier (several times), and it wouldn't work. I tried to enter my information to connect PC and it wouldn't work. I tried implementing new user names to add to the permissions and it would not work to connect on the mac. I tried to disable the password protection all together on pc and it still does not either. I know I entered the data correctly, I tried to work 3-4 hours... I'm a little confused, because it worked pretty quickly earlier and I did the same thing.
    What can I do? I'm doing something wrong? Any help that anyone can give is GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!!! :)

    I have a network of offices with windows 7 and XP PC 6 PC 7. Each day network neighborhood loses the xp computers. I can always ping them but they do not appear on the network. The PC xp always had access to the internet and can still ping windows 7 PC normally, but I can't connect to the shares or see them in the network neighborhood. The question seems to come and go during the day and can be due to the network traffic? I am lost at this point. A reboot of the xp PC is not resolved, but a restart of the server main window file 7 pc solves it for a while. Help!

  • Very slow network with 10 Workstation and Windows 8 / 8.1 Windows

    Hello

    I come to you because I have a problem with the network with 10 Workstation and Windows 8 / 8.1

    In fact, if I copy files from or to a virtual machine with my host of Windows 8 by sharing Windows (SMB / CIFS), it is very very slow and unusable.

    Example: My host is a Windows 8 x 64 and Windows 8 x 64 host: transfer speed is about 100 or 200 KB/s and often 0 KB/s (transfer seems to be paused).

    With a guest Windows 8.1, same problem.

    After many tests, I also tried with Windows PE 5 (same kernel as Windows 8.1): same problem, unusable.

    But, miracle, if I use "Utility MSI - X OFF" Intel, I reboot and the problem disappears.

    There:https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?lang=eng & DwnldID = 18946

    Someone in this community, said that it have the same problem and a workaround solution was not to use Intel e1000e but e1000 then: I must admit, it works.

    With e1000, speed is around 30 to 60 MB/s and stable.

    But, by default, 10 Workstation e1000e value when I create a new VM Windows 8.1, so it's a problem... Do not manually change for each new virtual machine and explain this to my students.

    Please, you can reproduce this bug and fix it?

    Thank you very much.

    New workstation 10.0.2 fixed this bug. Perfect.

  • Microphone works only with Windows 7 and StarCraft 2

    I have Windows 7 64 bit is installed on a computer HP Pavilion Elite (HP-M9600T), and I'm having problems to make my microphone to work with Windows 7 and Starcraft 2 (SC2).  The strange part is that I have an old analog microphone that works, but it's quality is very bad.  I bought 3 or 4 new microphones (some analog other USB) and none of them have worked.  I tried standalone and headset microphones.

    Whenever I tried a new micro, I went in the 'Sound' Panel and check that the microphone is not muted.  I check that the microphone level is high (and if mic boost is available I assure me that it is also at the top).  Then I test the microphone via the 'Listen to this device' feature in the properties of Microphone Panel and can hear my voice through my speakers when I talk.  I also see the green bar on the acoustic Panel fluctuate everytime I speak.  However, no one can hear me when I play StarCraft 2 unless I unplug the new microphone and plug the old microphone.  StartCraft 2 settings are configured to use the default device and StarCraft 2 also has a test feature of "Listen to this device" and I can hear my voice through the speakers.  Just like in the sound Panel, when I speak I can see the Soundbar of StarCraft 2 fluctuate in recognition of my voice.  However, only the old work of mic.  If my old microphone had a mute and better quality, I would ignore the problem.  However, this is not so I would get a new mic work.

    All the drivers seem to be up-to-date and indicate that they are working correctly.  I uninstalled and reinstalled StarCraft 2.  I also reinstalled Windows 7.  I used two generic drivers and installed the drivers RealTek supplied with my machine.  The two sets of drivers give me the same result.  I thought they might be in conflict, so I uninstalled the RealTek drivers, but I got the same result.  Teh generic drivers recognize my mic fine, but no one can hear me.  Any ideas?

    Hi tlonni,

    You can try the following steps and check if it helps to solve the problem.

    a. Click Start, click Control Panel and then double-click sounds.

    b. in the sound dialog box, click the recording tab, click on the microphone and then click Properties.

    c. click on the Advanced tab, click to clear applications to allow him to take exclusive control of this peripheral checkbox and then click OK.

    Hope this information is useful.

  • We have a PC with Windows 7 and have had it for several years, but now can't access my account.

    We have a HP PC with Windows 7, and the normal uses are e-mail, online banking, etc, very few games and these. In the last week, I have been unable to sign my account when I try to do it I wonder an administrator password that I don't have, nor had he ever. I can access some of my files through my son's account but not almost those I need. How can I get my account back once again?

    Here you go:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows in two weeks.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key. This will save you a lot of trouble.
