original title: incorrect Homegroup password

So, my cousins both got two netbooks for Christmas so I took it upon myself to put in place. However, I seem to have problems with getting Homegroup to work.

All computers:
Have enabled IPv6
Use Microsoft Security Essentials with the last update
Are connected to the same router (Linksys WRT54GX2)
Have no other third-party firewalls or AV installed and have been neatly eliminated via their respective tools when they had their
Can be seen in the network and can access any other files via 'network '.
Have the correct date and time and are all in sync with time.nist.gov.
Have the same network sharing settings (network discovery on, files and printers sharing folders public, sharing, streaming, wide, 128-bit encryption, sharing password protected, to allow windows to manage the homegroup connections)
Network is set at home, not in public

The computer that has implemented the homegroup is connected via ethernet to the router while other computers use to access the router 802.11 g I tried to delete and redo the residential group as well.

Despite all this, it is said that the homegroup password is incorrect for both netbooks (where it says it has encountered an error). I realize that it is case sensitive and I entered the password correctly. I also ran the resolution of the problems of the homegroup on all 3 machines and still no luck. I also tried to change the password and restarting of machines.

Any suggestions? I was _really_ hoping it will work right out of the box. Maybe it's something with the router? I don't really know. Any help is appreciated. Merry Christmas! : D

  • Is MuseWidgets a service for subscribers of Adobe CC?  I seem to have problems with my login for access to this.

    Hi all

    I would like to know if MuseWidgets is a service for subscribers of Adobe CC.  It seems to be the property of Adobe.  I tried to connect today but was unable to do so.  Can someone let me know if this requires a separate subscription?  Thank you.

    This site is just basically an all in one place Gallery of widgets available by third-party vendors. It is not part of the subscription of the CC. It does not require a connection, but a provider you are trying to get a widget of may require a connection, especially if it is a paid subscription site.

  • I have problems with the installer of Windows and Windows Update, and the solutions that I found for the two each rely on the other broken system to fix the first.

    I use a laptop HP Pavilion dv4-1220us with Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1, a 64-bit operating system, and I have problems with Windows Update and Windows Installer. When I try to install programs, I get the following, or substantially similar message without the error code:

    "Error 1719. The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed. This can occur if Windows Installer is not installed properly. Contact your support team. »

    So I tried to download Windows Installer 4.5 and install it. When I try to start the installation, it always hangs on the first step, "Initializing Installation."

    After searching for a solution to this problem, I found that Windows Update may have a solution. So I downloaded the 64 bit version and got a file named 'file Windows6. 0-KB942288-v2 - x 64. I tried to run this file. He opened a box that said, in order "Prepare for Installation", "Full Preparation", and finally "Searching for Updates ', before you open a second box, which reads" click OK to install the following Windows software update: fix for Windows (KB942288). I clicked on OK in this box, which opened another box, which says at the top "updates are installed" and in a smaller section, "initializing for Installation................... »

    However, no matter how long it works, it never gets past "Setup initialization."... »

    So I tried to run Windows Update in Control Panel. He ran for a while, before giving a message saying "to check the updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update." I clicked on the button that says "install now". He has flashed, a moment, "download and installation of updates' before you go to the"check for Updates"and then he brought back the exact same upward ' to check updates, you must first install an update for Windows Update" message as before. I clicked install now once again, only to go into the exact same loop. After about four times in a loop, I gave up on it.

    So I tried to install Windows Installer 3.1v2, which took a while before saying "not enough memory is available to process this command." and the abandonment of the installation.

    So, I tried to download a program from 'Mr. Fix - it' of Microsoft. It downloaded fine and then failed on installation, because of the same Setup error I received initially.

    Finally, I tried to restart my computer and each solution is represented. Then I clean my computer and each solution is represented.

    In conclusion, the mistakes that I have in Windows Update and Windows Installer cordoned off each other, as the mistakes of each program are based on the other program to be repaired. I'm at my wit's end here. My computer works fine without one, except that I can't install new programs. I can access the internet fine, access files fine, all my scans have developed own... I don't really know what is happening. Can someone help me with this?

  • I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer.

    Original title: hoax call?

    I just got a call from somewhere in India that I have problems with my computer. They know this, because I have generated error reports. When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up. What happens with all those errors that we report to microsoft when our computers generate the error reports and how these appellants knew my error report reference.

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    Such unsolicited telephone calls are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, donot give access to your PC, not give them all the money and donot go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.

    Error reports contain no personally identifiable information. These people are hoping that your system recently sent to Microsoft to make their call seems more legitimate.

    I have problems with the form widget. When I created my forms, I need to leave out the line, one email because my client does not want the message line and two because those who have tried to fill the online form cannot submit because the 'email' box keep rejecting their email address valid. And I just tried to remove the line in my form and it does not allow me to delete or to mark it as not necessary either.

    Currently, there is no way around the field email forms of the Muse. Another option is to have a look at Jotforms or another third-party provider of shape that Muse has widgets for.

    Hello

    What version of Windows are you using?

    • If your laptop uses the Realtek HD audio drivers then try to update the Realtek HD audio drivers for the last one is on the site Web of Realtek (who seems to have a lot of later Toshiba support site). After updating to the latest Realtek HD drivers, open the DD Realtek Audio Manager and enable "Loudness equalization.
    • Turn off the laptop (not a hibernation or sleep), Remove the battery and the adapter Plug and press the power on/off (nothing should happen, but it could fulfil all power remaining inside the laptop). Wait five to ten minutes and then reinsert both and reboot the laptop. For some, it seems that putting into hibernation and or "sleep" mode on these laptops cause the audio drivers to behave strangely.

    You can also try to go to Device Manager > click on the< next="" to="">

    Right-click on the driver and update or roll back to the driver

  • Problems with getting a wireless connection for my IPOD touch 32 GB

    Bought an IPOD itouch 32 gb last night.  When I connected the ipod, it is connected to my itunes account and copied my music for me.

    It is also recognized by the name of WI - FI for my wireless account.  Unfortunately, I can't remember or find my password for my wireless connection and so I am unable to connect my wireless to the ipod and establishing the ability to connect to the internet and get my email, etc.

    What is the best course of action for me now.  Should I drop my wireless connection and it restore?  Note: I have a laptop that connects fine, but he asks me a password... it goes directly to the wireless?

    Thank you!

    Go into your router configuration utility and in most cases, you will see the password. If the password is not in clear text, you can change it to something that you will remember. If you do this, you will need to change the settings on the laptop, too.

    To enter the router configuration utility, connect a computer with an ethernet cable. Open a browser such as Firefox or IE and type the IP address of the router in the address bar. For a Linksys router, you must type: 192.168.1.1 [press on enter]. Refer to the manual of your router for more details.
