    I am not able to connect to my wireless network. When tried to connect, it shows just "unable to connect."

    I have the Intel WiFiLink 5100 adapter with the latest driver for Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit installed. The laptop is not a wireless connection manager and I am trying to connect using the Windows wireless connection manager.

    I checked in the Services and found that service autoconfiguration WLAN and Extensible Authentication Protocol services are not running.

    When I tried to start the WLAN auto configuration service, I get the following error...
         Windows could not start the service WLAN autoconfiguration on Local computer.

  • Unable to turn off the built-in in Windows 7 Home Premium Administrator account

    I can't disable the built-in Windows 7 Administrator account. I tried to do it via a command prompt with "net user administrator / active: No. ' but all this, after the reboot, is display an error message about the incorrect user name or password and presents the administrator account as an option to login anyway (with an option for"other users"). But if I try to connect to the administrator account a password for log-in, which I did not.
    If I activate the account (again in elevated command prompt), I can connect as administrator normally, without password.
    I can always connect to my own account without worrying, but I would like to know how to solve this problem in any case. Can I avoid the error by removing the password from my account, but I don't want to do that.

    I created a test account Admin attempt to connect to it gives this error:

    "The service user profile Service has no logon.
    User profile cannot be loaded. »

    Ah, the dreaded problem of profile Service. I've seen dozens of times in this forum, but I have no solution for it. If you do a search on Google you will find countless references to it. I invite you to solve this problem first, before you disable administrator accounts.

  • I am unable to stream music to Xbox because the network discovery is disabled.

    Hello.

    We just got a new Xbox and I want to listen to my music to it.  Before asking that my Os is Vista Home Basic 64-bit SP 2 with all the updated.

    Antivirus is Microsoft Security Essentials

    Firewall is Windows Firewall - on, but default settings open the port for the client to the transmission

    The problem seems to be that the computer browser service does not start

    It is configured to start automatically.  Regstry settings show that this is supposed to start.  (MaintainServerList Yes)

    Server, Workstation, and RPC can also be programmed to automatically start.  They do not start.

    I would try to start it in safe mode, but the server does not start in safe mode. For the computer browser does not either.

    When I try to start the discovery of the network, I click Yes and it confirms that I am an administrator.  Refreshes the window and he came off.

    The strange thing is that if I look at the map of the network, I can see the Xbox and our laptop.  But in network, it asks me to turn on network discovery and file sharing.

    I tried to start the service with

    net start "computer browser".

    It was not an error.

    I really don't know what else to try.

    sfc/scannow

    found errors and fixed them.

  • Network discovery cannot be activated, windows 7 Home premium.

    This problem is very simple to describe, but I do have a lot of time I can't find a solution. Help appreciated.

    In the network and sharing Center, advanced screen sharing, there is the option to turn on network discovery and file/printer sharing.

    When I put one or both these on 'on' and click on 'save changes', the screen closes without guest or delay. If I open the screen again two options are always on 'off '.

    I checked that the services concerned (DNS Client, Function Discovery Resource Publication, discovery SSDP and UPnP device host) are started and they are.

    Tried to reboot, windows update.
    Network troubleshooting is, as always, useless.

    I suspect that maybe some third party software plays a role here. I checked for malware and removing applications with a network component.

    This is probably related. I get an error 0 x 00000001, when I try and share a local printer.

    Manager tasks shows a two process named csrss.exe running, 936 kb, the other is 6532 KB. A matter of concern?

    All the machines in my LAN on the same workgroup. Not in a homegroup.
    Advice appreciated!

    Complete required wipe problem and re - install to correct.
    End.

    Network discovery is disabled by default for public networks. Changing a network location type to home or work is the best way to turn on network discovery. To learn how to change a network location type, see Choosing a network location. To enable discovery manually, follow the steps below.

    To turn on network discovery

    1. open the network and sharing Center by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, and then click Network and sharing Center.

    2. If network discovery is off, click the arrow button expand the section, click turn on network discovery, and then click on apply. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

  • Network discovery does not 'on' when selected and recorded, all the answers?

    I have some very annoying problems with my new network set up.

    I want movies stream from my PC to the TV. laptop and PS3.

    My PC (the principal server) see the laptop, TV, but not the PS3. He can see the files on the laptop and the laptop you will see the PC it cannot access any files or folders on the PC.

    The TV can not see the PC, laptop or PS3.so no films can be heard of these components on television.

    I tried everything that Microsoft and several forums have to offer, but to no avail.

    One thing I noticed when trying to find a configuration to mitigate the problem, it's that when you go to "Advanced sharing settings" and try to change the setting of 'Network discovery' on IT, and then save this setting, it is up to the STOP after trying to save.

    Please can someone help I'm quickly running out of hair to pull.

  • Impossible to activate permanent "network discovery and file sharing" in advanced sharing without turning windows firewall at the wide service.

    Environment:

    I have a workgroup Windows 8 pro PC with all updates from Windows update. The PC is connected via WiFi (home) to a router (the same thing happens if I am connected to the router directly via RJ45). It's my "private network (NAT). I have the Windows Firewall is enabled in its default configuration.
