  My laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) can not see the other desktop PC running Windows XP via a wireless connection, except if it is plugged into my laptop so only I can see them on the network.
  I checked all the working groups to ensure that all are the same.

  However, when my laptop into Wi - Fi, I could see the other wired desktop PC by specifying the network path in "search programs and files" to the start menu in the Windows 7 laptop, I was able to add network folder by specifying the drive letter for the connection and file I want to connect via a right click on the network to connect a network drive...

• The search box in the start menu may appear. What I nead to do?

  Hello world

  The problem: I do not consider the search box on the start menu.

  After that I did the following.

  I don't have the desired result.

• In Windows 7, after the application of SP1, I can no longer access my phone book from the start menu or use the search function.

  I just applied SP1.  Until I applied this update that everything worked as I expected.

  Since then, whenever I type anything in the search on the start menu, there is no result.  The only exception to this is that if I type in a full path, for example "C:\Program Files\", how I get a list of files in that directory.  If I type in everything that is not a path, as for example the letter p or the word 'paint', told me that "no element not corresponding to your research."

  If I click 'more results', I get an error with a big red x box.  The legend is "search query: = paint", for example if I searched for painting.  The text is "Windows cannot find ': search query = painting '.»  Make sure you typed the name correctly and then try again. "I wasn't expecting this error box, but rather a window with a list of search results.

  I have downloaded and run the troubleshooter of research - Mats_Run.search.exe.  It tells me that no errors have been detected and gave me the option to reset the search.  I did this, then waited a whole day to search for re - index, but the results are the same.
  In addition, after reading a few other questions on the microsoft Web site, I've done different things which seem to as they should not work - I have turned me folder, active random registry settings options, etc..  Indeed, none of these things had an impact or shows something unusual.
  Also, I can access is no longer my home directory from the start menu.  If I click on my user name that appears in the upper right corner of the menu start, the start menu closes and nothing happens.
  There are a few other circumstances where I can't reach my directory.  For example, if I have an Explorer pointed toward a library, say "Downloads", if I click on my user name in the breadcrumb path, he will remain in the directory downloads instead of going to my home folder, as I expect.  Also, if I click on my user name in the Favorites list in the left pane of the Explorer, I would expect the Explorer window to access my home folder.  Instead, he remains in the folder where he currently resides.
  As I said earlier, before applying the update it worked as expected.
  Thanks a lot for your time!

• command prompt in the start menu goes directly to the control box black small and not big box

  Page product HP supposed to go to the start menu and type command prompt and choose Run as administrator.  There was a break in the screen of the typical white box with blue borders with a list of options.

  I typed in it and click on command prompt and I immediately had the window of small black command promt.

  I had to end up with a box by C:\. SFC\ and type SCANNOW after the.

  I can only see C: \USERS\OWNER >

  How can I get the usual box of options?

  Hello viewerx. C: \USERS\OWNER is always the default value in Windows Vista or later, even if you change it manually. You try to perform a file system check? If so, the command is "sfc/scannow" without the quotes.

  If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. I'm only here to help!

  Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

  Method 1: I suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malware

  The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

  http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

  Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

  Important: While running scan on the hard drive if bad sectors are found on the hard drive when scanning try to repair this area if all available on which data may be lost.

  Method 2: If this does not help then you can uninstall and reinstall Windows search 4.0 on the computer.

  Follow the steps below to uninstall:

  a. click on Start

  b. click Control Panel

  c. select Add / Remove Program

  Original title:

  Start menu

  When I search on the start menu, I see emails that I deleted.

  I want that these emails deleted permanently and is not presented on the search menu. How can I do this?

  The search system is performing one analysis every few hours to check what's new.  Looks like you deleted emails but the scan has not yet executed.

  If you find that the scan never works at all, you can rebuild the search system by opening the Indexing Options (search to find it) and click on rebuild indexes.
