• 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.

• How to share files betwem Windows 7 and Windows 98?

• Tag Word 2007 Acrobat, 'Create a PDF' Word crashes; two computers, Windows 7 and 10, Acrobat XI and DC

  I had this problem for over a year but I had a few documents to create using Word 2007 add-in I need this ability to get links from the numbers in table of contents, cross-references and equation.  Both computers are running Windows 64 bit, both had the problem with Acrobat XI (and then Acrobat DC) running Windows 7 and now Windows 10.  Print to PDF works OK but no direct link, except that URLS are alive in the PDF file.  Documents are medium-sized, approximately 30 pages.  There's a period in December 2014 and 2015 at the beginning when I had some success with a document that had been systematically plant if I used the Word add-in.

  In a machine I uninstalled Acrobat DC and re-installed Acrobat XI; no joy.  Simply, Word hangs immediately and returns without the Acrobat add-in.  I moved the paper to the other machine and tried with Acrobat DC, and it freezes.  There is a window of little info at the bottom of the main window of Word that says it paginates quickly on page 4 (from the table of contents, list of figures, list of tables, first page or two).  Then, it takes about 20 minutes per page.  The Adobe progress bar shows no progress, and the title bar says "Not responding."  Leave for hours is never past page 11.  Word of murder in the winks Task Manager it without saving dialog; He returned without the Acrobat add-in.

  I use MathType 6 (current version) to my equations (many of them).  Both computers are very different; one is a laptop computer with four cores and 8 GB of RAM, the other a computer with 16 GB of RAM and eight cores.

  Of course, I did all the steps of the first, as to ensure that the operating system and Acrobat are up-to-date, re-installing, fresh start, etc.  It's look like a problem of size of stack or heap of Acrobat, that makes no sense, because, well, new or malloc. There are a lot of free memory.  The laptop, dangling, uses a core (25% loading) and 26% of the 8 GB of RAM.

  Hi jkbeard,

  Try the steps below: -.

  • Completely uninstall Acrobat DC/XI by using this Download Adobe Reader and Acrobat tool - Adobe Labscleanup tool.
  • Uninstall MS Office 2007
  • Restart your system & install MS Office 2007, now reinstall Acrobat DC.

  Check to see if that fixes the problem.

  Kind regards

• I need to change the OS between my 2 computers (Windows XP and 7) where I can download the necessary files?

  I have a laptop with a valid license of Windows 7 and a desktop computer with a valid XP license. I think I would get more use from 7, if it was on my desk and would be willing to downgrade my laptop to XP (it runs very slowly regardless). However because I bought the laptop with Windows 7 installed I have a Windows 7 disc. Where can I download or order a new copy of the disc?

  UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.

  UPDATE: The license I have is for Windows 7 Home Professional.

  There is no such thing as 'Friendly' - it is Home Premium or Professional.

  As others have said - if your copy of WIndows came pre-installed, then they are OEM editions which cannot be transferred to another computer in all circumstances.

  You can buy a license to upgrade to WIndows 7 for use on your desktop - but I suggest that you run upgrade first Advisor to ensure that the material can support the operating system properly.

  Insofar as your laptop is slow, it's usually because of too much loading at startup, or malware.

  Do you have an anti-virus installed up-to-date? When was the last time you ran a full system scan?

  You have all the other anti-malware installed apps?

  Check what programs are loaded at startup - and which are loaded as Add - ons for Internet Explorer. Use the options in the program to stop everything you must actually run at startup (you can test temproarily using MSCONFIG, but use the options of the program for more permanent effects.)

  I would like to create a homegroup in windows 8 and attach it from windows 7. Is there a problem? Or I have to create the homegroup in windows 7 and join computer windows 8? Or there isn't any solution?

  Hi friend

  I use it and I have no problem to open a file to win 8 in Windows 7 or opening a file from Win 7 to 8 Win.

  You don't have to change a lot of settings to get the homegroup to work.  Everything that do you is go through the steps.  You configure the homegroup on one computer first and then you "join" residential group of any other computer Win 7 or 8 to win using the password created on the first computer.

• Cannot print through USB on Windows 8 router, but can through windows 7 and Vista

  Problem:

  I have a printer that works for both computers windows 7 and vista.  I have two computers windows 8 that do not work.
  Material:
  laptop Toshiba P50 brand new.
  Router Asus RT - N16 rooted with the TomatoUSB firmware.
  Printer/scanner color Samsung CLX-3180.
  Symptoms:
  I can get the printer to operate if connected directly via USB.  The new Samsung universal of the generic drivers work.
  Even the driver connected via TCP/IP causes the printer to beep and the power wheels to run but nothing comes out.  It looks like windows and the printer think print things.
  What I've tried so far:
  Uninstalled all printer drivers and ports.  Then reinstalled with fresh downloaded drivers.  I had to erase the registry because pilots and port were considered to be in use.
  I have disabled the firewall without result.

  I fixed it finally I think.

  Here's what I did.
  -Deleted all drivers in the system.  (1) remove the 2 devices) remove the driver through "(propriétés dele de serveur d'impression 3) delete all created ports through"the print server properties""
  -Download the new drivers. type 64-bit
  -printer installed using Samsung universal driver 2 and player USB connection as required by the manufacture.
  -installed the TCP/IP port using the TomatoUSB facility and former driver of windows 7.  (wrong system to not check to see if the printer is online)  The pilot was CLX-3180
  -Changed the driver properties Advanced printer to "Sansung Universal Driver 2" tab
  -Change of printer model for Samsung CLX-3180 in the printer - Options tab of the device properties.
  -L' printer select clicked the button when changing the port.  Don't know what it does.

• How can I transfer? two computers running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other.

  my mother has two computers that are running windows 7 and she wants to give me one of them, but it first wants to transfer or share all his stuff from one to the other. We network cables and such can I connect the on computers and share information from one to the other?

  Hello

  To connect two computers with a cable, not a router, it must be a crossover cable.
  These are special cables, but they are not expensive.

  (You can configure a network or a host group (see below))

  How to share files and look at these different systems?

  1 person needs an answer

  You can share files between all of these systems. It is difficult for me to what you wrote if you want to share files with Windows 7 in OS X machine, but I have included this information in case you do. Because Vista is installed in training Camp, I have only included Win7 OS X sharing files and not Vista-OS X sharing files since you can't use both at the same time.

  On Windows

  Excellent, comprehensive, but easy to understand article on sharing files/printer under Vista. Contains information about sharing printers and files, and the folders:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727037.aspx

  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.

  A. configure the firewall on all machines to allow traffic to local area network (LAN) as being approved. With the Windows Firewall, it means which allows file sharing / print on the Exceptions tab normally run the XP Network Setup Wizard will take care of this for these machines. The only "witch hunt", it will turn on the XPSP2 Windows Firewall. 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) in Vista, turn on password protected sharing. 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. 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

  Create accounts of users and corresponding 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:

  Vista/Win7 - ORB start > Search > 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).

  On OS X

  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.

• can I media share with Windows 7 and Windows Vista?

  I have a computer that has Windows 7 on it, and my sister has a computer with Windows Vista. We can share files, if so how?

  Hi the Itallien Stallion,

  You can share files and folders in many different ways. The most common way to share files in Windows is to share them directly from your computer. Windows provides two methods for sharing files in this way: you can share files from any folder on your computer or from the Public folder. Method you use depends on where you want to store the shared folders, that you want to share with, and the degree of control you want to have the files. Or the alternative method allows you to share files or folders with someone using your computer or another computer on the same network. If you are looking for other ways to share, this article also has several other methods that you can use.

  Once the computers are connected to the network, you can share your files and folders.
