share and access files between windows 7 and vista sp1

sharing between vista and windows 7 does not work, Windows 7 - > vista does not work, but from vista to windows7 works.

Please repost your question in the Forums Windows7: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/threads where people who specialize in Windows7 networking with other systems (including Vista) will be more than happy to help you with your problem.  This is probably a simple configuration error, or there may be a permissions problem (especially since it works in one direction - the direction, we might be able to help if that was the problem) - but they are the experts and can help you I refer you because it is probably a configuration Windows7 problem and because they know how both systems work with each other better than we (who focus exclusively on Vista and) know much less about Windows7).

Please specify in your message, exactly what you can and cannot access and share so that you will get the best service.

Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

  • How to share files between Windows XP and Windows 7 without password?

    Hey guys, I want to share files between windows 7 and windows XP. I don't want to put the password on my Windows 7 or Windows XP account. I am going on my Windows XP perfectly shared files from Windows 7, but I am not able to go on my files of windows 7, the cause of my XP he asks user name and password. I enter the user name and it does not accept it if I make a password for my windows 7 and enter as the user name... I don't know what to do guys any help?

    Windows 7 only WILL NOT allow you to share files without a password, it's all just a common sense safety requirement.  It of a very bad practice to run your Windows installations with a null value, a password, give your facility a valid password.

    The simplest around your problem is to create an account with the same names and passwords on each machine and so typed the password when the connection is too a problem allow AutoLogon on the machines.

  • I need to share files between windows xp and Windows 7

    I am unable to share files between Windows XP Home Edition and Windows 7 Ultimate edition

    I have a wireless router and my two computers are connected on it.

    Please give me detailed guidelines on how to share files between them.

    Here are the steps of general network troubleshooting. Just cannot apply to your situation, so just take the bits that are. It may seem daunting, but if you follow the steps in the links and suggestions below calmly and consistently, you will have no difficulty to implement your sharing.

    Problems sharing files between computers on a network are usually caused by 1) a misconfigured firewall or a firewall neglected (including a dynamic firewall in a virtual private network); or (2) inadvertently run two firewalls such as the firewall of Windows and a third-party firewall. and/or (3) do not have accounts to the same users and passwords on all computers in the workgroup. (4) tries to create actions where the operating system does not.

    In Windows 7, go to control panel > everything in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You don't want to use the residential group unless you have all Windows 7 machines. If you do and you want to use the homegroup, see Windows 7 Help & Support. Otherwise, in sharing advanced:

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, running on Windows 7 sharing files and printer as above will take care of this for you. If you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    (B) to facilitate the Organization, put all computers in the same workgroup. This is done from the System applet in Control Panel, the computer name tab.

    C. create the counterpart of the user accounts and passwords on all machines. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this:

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    D. Si one or more of the computers on your network are XP Pro or Media Center, turn off Simple file sharing (Folder Options > view tab).

    E. create share as you wish. In Windows 7 I usually share the Desktop of the user and the Public directory.

    F. you have the job of file sharing (and tested by exchanging a file between machines), if you want to share a printer connected locally to one of your computers, share of this machine. Then go to the printer mftr Web site. and download the latest drivers for the correct system. Install them on the target machines. The printer must be collected during the installation procedure. If this isn't the case, install the drivers and then use the Add Printer Wizard. In some cases, printers must be installed as local printers, but it is outside this response.

  • When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties

    I move the file from my old PC which took place with Vista on a new computer running with Win 10 where I have Windows Live Mail is installed.  When I try to copy the files from Windows Mail on Vista on a USB key I get the message "you are about to copy this file without its properties".  After studying this issue on the forums, a proposed solution was to reformat the drive in NTFS format, I did.  This does not solve the problem.  Any suggestions?  Would it be OK in this case to ignore the message and copy the file without its properties?

  • How can I share files between Windows 7 Pro and a Mac with os x?

    I have Windows 7 Professional and my colleague had a Mac with os x installed. We are physically in the same room, sharing a wifi connection. How to share files between two computers? That each of them should do on his computer?

    If you display links, please check beforehand that the procedure for the mac is here. I found in the internet or other of the procedures for older systems Win or network only between Win 7 PCs.

    MOSH

    Of course, you can do it easily. In fact, the implementation of sharing on Win7 last month was almost as easy as it is on OS X.  ;-) I find that the snow leopard has the same bugginess of show Windows machines only randomly in the sharing of the Finder section, as it did in Leopard, however. I usually connect to Windows machines by opening a window of Finder and using go > connect to server > smb://Windows-computer-name instead. In the Win7 box, I have the network to the desktop icon (you can get this to customize > change icon).

    On OS X, make sure you have checked in the file sharing system preferences > sharing. Click the Options button, and then select "share files and folders using SMB." Add the shared directories as you wish.

    You must create accounts/passwords user on the Mac and Windows 7. You do not need to be logged into the same account on all machines and assigned to each user account passwords can be different; accounts/passwords just need to exist and to match on all machines. DO NOT NEGLECT TO CREATE PASSWORDS, EVEN IF ONLY OF SIMPLE. If you want a machine to boot directly to the desktop in Win7 (a particular user account) for convenience, you can do this.

    Start > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

    You can find options to logon automatically for OS X in system preferences > accounts.

    On Win7, go to control panel > all items in Control Panel > network and sharing Center. Click on "change the advanced sharing settings. You do not want to use Homegroup.

    Discovery of plug in the network
    Open the files and printers sharing
    Turn on the sharing section Public folder sharing
    Plug the password protected sharing

    Configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, Configuration File and Printer Sharing ON will take care of that for these machines, and if you are not running a third-party firewall or you have an antivirus/security with its own firewall component program, then you're fine.  With a third-party firewall, I usually set up the allocation of LAN with an IP address range. E.g. would be 192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.254. Obviously you would substitute your correct subnet. Refer to the safety of any third party program or the user forums for how to correctly configure its firewall. Do not run more than one firewall. DON'T STOP FIREWALLS; CONFIGURE THEM CORRECTLY.

    OS X Firewall is done in System Preferences > Security. Click the lock to make changes, and then click the Advanced button to ensure that SMB sharing is allowed. If you set up in the share pod, it will be.

    On Win7, create shares as desired. I usually just share the Public, users desktop folder and all hard drives of additional data in the system. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • Sharing files between Windows 7 and Windows XP suddenly stops working

    I have a set up working groups between Windows 7 and Windows XP computers.  I don't usually have a problem of file sharing, but suddenly XP computers do not connect to the server from Windows 7.  It will work for a while and then stops.  In order to solve this problem, I have to restart the server from Windows 7.  However, this problem occurs more and more and I would have preferred to find a permanent solution.  I checked all the normal solutions (IE firewall, no passwords, etc.), but I still have this problem.  I'm sure that all my settings are correct, as I am able to connect most of the time, but I know that there must be a solution out there to fix it permanently.

    I read a post that I'm not sure is related to my question:

    This problem may occur if the IRPStackSize registry entry on the server is set too low. I was unable to connect to the XP PC from any other PC on the network. Set ip 15 and problems went

    If that is related, please let me know.

    What is a patch that I need to download for XP computers?

    Any help would be grateful.  Thank you!

    I suspect that the limit is 5 concurrent connections for Windows 7 Home Premium, but I still need to find a reference book Microsoft.

  • Mac didn't stop after Photoshop to access files on windows server

    Hello world

    We have a weird problem when our users access files on our server to windows. They can change the files and everything seems to be fine, but when you try to shut down the mac, the system never end closing, even after waiting until the next morning. Only way to stop this force turned off. Someone at - it an idea, how do I solve the problem?

    We have verified that the problem only occurs when you open files directly on the share - local files do not cause this problem. There is also no other apps to access the share.

    Specifications of customers:

    Mac OS 10.10

    Photoshop 2015

    To access the files via smb share (smb: / / [Server].) FQDN/Share)

    24 gig RAM

    128 GB Flash drive

    27 "iMac

    Specification of the server:

    Windows Server 2008 R2

    NTFS file permissions: full access to the security group

    Client is a member of the security group (but not in the same domain as the file server)

    So far ideas? Someone has a similar problem?

    Best regards

    Tobias

    Hello

    When you try to access the files on the server, MAC launched a security process.

    This process could not be top-down.

    Please check that the activity monitor.

    For the best response you can contact Apple/MAC support.

    As Windows uses MAC system MAC OS partition and FAT/NTFS partition

    There could be conflict as well.

    Also please check if a Windows machine attempts to access Windows Server, the problem still exists.

  • Qosmio G30: Conflict between the audio driver Sigmatel and Vista SP1

    Hello
    I have a laptop Qosmio G30 PQG32E and impossible to move to Vista SP1 because the driver Sigmatel (6.10.5462.0) is in conflict with the service pack.
    As some of you may know, there is no Sigmatel and IDT who bought them is so say nonexistent, saying to contact the OEM directly to drivers updated.

    Is there a plan to upgrade the audio driver?
    There are huge memory leaks in my case from the audio driver.
    If you use Photoshop or Premiere Pro, the audiodg.exe process consumes 800 MB and more after an hour of continuous work.

    I hope for an update driver stable and more stability of the SP1.
    I am a dreamer?

    The problem is that the final version of Vista SP1 is brand new and it may happen that some drivers don't support this new service pack.
    In this case the driver needs to be updated.

    If you will not find the latest version on the Toshiba page then maybe you can find it here:

    http://www.IDT.com/?ID=3969

    In any case, the solution is the update driver and sooner or later, the update will be available.

    It works for the other connections on this machine.  So, with the worries of shrinking to s/o the origin of the problem,

    I saved my files and re-created a new account.  The new account works fine, so I deleted the old account.

  • Portege R500: Fingerprint Software and VIsta SP1 problems

    I encounter another problem which seems to be related to the fingerprint software. If I install the software, no issue arises. Once I register the fingerprints, the system slows down. Same clang of the other computers in the domain, in that I am, the response slows down gradually and then fails several times, before becoming inaccessible.

    Then as Exlopre crashes after a while. If I can stop the command, it hangs at the screen bright blue vista saying "logout". Then, the only way to turn off the computer is by holding down the power button.

    I log back in again once, unregister the fingerprint and all works well.
    Any idea? Thank you

    P.S. The software and drivers Vista SP1 and Toshiba are fully patched/updated

    Hello

    I am interested in your question, you are connected to a domain and use the fingerprint software in the network?

    Well, how it works in the Working Group?
    Have you noticed the same slowdowns system using laptop computer not connected to the network?

    Please check this because I guess that there is local connection between domain parameters (server) and your stored settings on the R500.
