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.

  • Updates Windows 7 suddenly stopped working, stuck at updates

    Original title: Windows 7 updates

    MS has stopped supporting Windows 7? Like many others, my updates of Windows 7 suddenly stopped working last month. I do not install a new or fresh, version but simply by doing what I did every month for a long time and trying to install the latest updates. Windows Update is just to 'check updates'. I left on for more than an hour several times. I tried each 'fix' that has been suggested. Nothing has worked. So, I resorted to the Windows Update Catalog check manually and I noticed that there were no new updates of Windows 7 security for may 2016. Why?

    If all updates appeared and installed then reset the update system is a good idea.

    I prefer this small utility

    Use Option 2 on the list after right click and select run as administrator

    https://Gallery.technet.Microsoft.com/scriptcenter/reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc

    Download in your downloads folder

    Right-click and select extract all in the downloads folder.

    Then right-click on ResetWUEng and select run as administrator

    Follow the rest of the guides messages

    Press any key to continue

    Type 2 for this Option in the list and the Enter key

    Press on y for Yes I think twice

    After that that he completed

    Type 15 for this option and the Enter key to restart the machine.

    Must they will restart in 60 seconds will save your work... Press a key to continue.

    After reboot, go to windows updates and manually check the updates shouldn't take a few minutes.

  • Service Windows wireless suddenly stopped working because of problem with the KeyIso service

    Description of the problem: Windows Wireless Services suddenly stopped working on my computer. What I have discovered so far that the problem is that the WLAN AutoConfig service does not work because of the failure of the function "KeyIso". The error message for the mentions "Error 126" KeyIso (the specified module could not be found). Any help to fix this would be appreciated. TDW

    Hello

    What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    KeyIso Description:

    The service provides insulation for private keys key processes and operations of such associated encryption required by the common criteria. The service stores and uses long term keys in a secure process in line with the requirements of the common criteria. It should normally be disabled, as otherwise, these cryptographic operations may fail.

    Looks like there could be a corruption with the wireless connection that you have added. You can perform the steps.

    Method 1:

    Try to manually start the wireless service, i.e. the WLAN AutoConfig service. To do this, connect to the computer as an administrator.

    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press enter.
    b. Locate the Autoconfiguration WLAN service, double-click to open its Properties window.
    c as. under the general tab, change the startup type to Automatic and click on the Start button.
    d. click on apply, then ok.

    Method 2:

    To resolve this problem, try using the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker. To do this, follow these steps:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 3:

    You can uninstall and reinstall the network card and check.

    a. click Start, type Device Manager in the Start search box and press enter.
    b. locate the network adapters and expand the same.
    c. Select the Wireless connection, right click and choose Uninstall.
    d. restart the computer, if prompted.

    Drivers should settle automatically after the computer restarts.

    Now you can install the latest network card drivers and see if that fixes the problem.

    Have a PC running Windows Vista wired that you can share files on the remote laptop running Windows 7, but the laptop cannot see the main Vista PC.  So he can't share files or printers.  The laptop has no problem to access internet.

    Configure any firewall program to allow access by other computers on the local network.  Note that some antivirus programs include firewall features.

  • 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.

    There is no way to share programs/apps between OS when multi boot, IE; you can not install MS Office on W10TP and expect to use on other operating systems, you can share the data in the program, each operating system will require that individual programs / applications are installed on each operating system.
