Try to access Windows XP desktop via wireless request a password when none has been set, and never asked in the past.

I have a netbook running Windows 7 Home Premium (the name is Gary-asus-pc), a laptop (my wife) running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell640m), and a desktop running Windows XP SP3 (the name is Dell8400).  My Canon printer is connected by USB to my desktop.  Until this week, my wireless network in my house has been working well and I could access the desktop files and printer both netbook and laptop.

No change in hardware or software tried laptop recently with the exception of the automatic updates.

Today, my wife tried to print a document of IE8 on his cell phone and it did not work.  I tried of the netbook and it worked fine.  When I tried to check the properties of the printer to the laptop, I got access denied message.  Checking the properties of the netbook has worked.

Thinking that something got screwed up on the laptop, I removed the printer from the laptop and tried to add again.  The wizard has found the printer, but when I click Next a window pops up showing the following:

Window title: connect to Dell640m

Message: Connection to Dell8400

(in gray)  Username Dell640m\Guest

Password

There is no password set on any of the machines.  Just by pressing enter or clicking OK just brings back the same window.

I closed the window and went back to try to add the printer again.  The laptop computer found the office but did not find all the printers on the laptop or the desktop.  This behavior is fairly consistent.  The first attempt after a reboot to find the printer is successful, but then asks a password for access.  Subsequent attempts are no printer.  Attempts to access the office system itself will require a password.

I ran the XP Wizard to re - establish home and office networking on the laptop and the desktop computer.  Two machines can be, the Office can see the computer laptop and netbook and their files and printers, but the laptop cannot access anything be it on the desktop (password required) Although it can access the netbook.  All the machines were restarted (several times).

Does anyone have any ideas what could cause this strange behavior between the laptop and the desktop computer.

Problem solved!

I don't know why I didn't think this earlier. The problem has been that I have constantly asked me a password for the user Dall640m\Guest. I finally thought, "why not get rid of user Dell640m\Guest?

So, I run the Configuration Wizard from the network on both systems and passed under the names of DELL8400 and Dell640m of new names computers, changed the comment, has changed the name of the Working Group, then restarted both.  My hope was that starting a new network with a "totally clean slate" might work. I knew that, at all least, Dell640m\Guest username would not access to the network, so it was worth a try. Fortunately, it worked.

My access to shared files and printers.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts to resolve the issue. I will certainly help you with the problem you are experiencing.

    If you purchased a computer with installed OEM Windows 8 on it, there could be a sticker on the Tower, or in the back (in the case of a laptop) with the product key to this topic. If there is no sticker, he can be preinstalled on your system BIOS.

  • Unable to access computer because the account password for Windows Vista has been forgotten and don't have a password reset disk/hard to find ways to restore the system... Help please

    Hello
    I'm stuck on the screen on my computer for my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit edition. The password to the user account has been lost, and now I am unable to access my computer. I don't have a created password reset disk so I can't reset the password. I searched these forums and seems the most effective way is to run a system restore to a time where I did have a password for my account. Fortunately for me, I did an automatic update of Windows that created a system restore point literally moments before I put the password, so I should be able to get access to my computer once I figured out how to get system restore to work. The advice I found on other forums do not seem to work, because I'm in my Windows vista operating system disc, but no screen is coming up with 'Repair your computer', which indicate the steps happen. I need assistance to find another way to run the system restore on boot menus/Vista/DVD CD. Thank you.

    Go to Bestbuy or other PC shop. They can fix it for you. (Could I have so I am not allowed to post these alternative instructions.)

  • "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer"... * STOP: 0x0000007e (0x805c49b8, 0xf7a172b4, 0 x 80000003, 0xf7a16fb0)... blue screen

    Hello!

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to get my machine to boot successfully. Nothing changes when I choose Safe Mode, last known good Configuration, enable VGA Mode, booting, Directory Services Restore Mode or Debug Mode logging.

    It's very stressful, because I'm right smack dab in the Middle a semester at the College. I have most of what I currently need access to supported illuminates... but not quite all :( It is also very reassuring to be able to take care of the school of work away from the library of the University. Yesterday, my computer was working fine... I think that Windows has completed an update, if I can't remember now. As I woke up this morning, I was not able to boot all the way to Windows only once.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6000 running XP Media Center, and I have not installed new hardware since I bought the machine about 3 years ago.

    Here are more details, where they can help in the diagnosis of my problem:

    • ID of the system board: 30BB
    • Type of processor: Genuine Intel(r) CPU T2250
    • Processor speed: 1730 MHz
    • Total memory: 1024 MB
    • Video memory up to: 128 MB
    • BIOS version: F.06

    Here's the entire message to the blue screen:
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

    Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0X805C49B8, 0XF7A172B4, 0 X 80000003, 0XF7A16FB0)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I also learned to a blue screen that says something about "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I think that this happens when I try to start safe mode.

    Also, I never did much with computer problems beyond what could be repaired with the restoration of the system... so not being is not able to boot at all me has to stop. Please, I beg you! Help me?!

    With great appreciation for your time,.

  • during an update lots of my profile folder has been put in a folder on the desktop marked the old data. How to restore this data file

    During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?

    You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

    Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

    Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

    Overview

    Here are the steps described in more detail below:

    1. Create a new Firefox profile
    2. Delete all of this profile folder
    3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

    Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

    Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by pressing ENTER:

    firefox.exe -P
    

    Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

    Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

    Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

    Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
    • Menu help > troubleshooting information
    • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

    In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

    This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

    Copy old data instead of new

    In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

    Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

    Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

    Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

    Launch Firefox

    Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

    And now, whenever I'm in an ip address that I wonder if I want to download the file.
