UNC paths does not work in Windows 7 command prompt of the Samba server to a Linux server

The following command works fine in Windows XP, Windows 2003, etc., but does not work in Windows 7:

dir \\myhist\myshare

In Windows 7, it fails with "the system cannot find the file specified."

Is this a bug or is it a 'work-around '?

Windows 7 has a different layout of Windows Explorer, then Windows XP and Windows 2003...

1. go to Windows Explorer and look for the folder

2. at the top, copy the path, and then try again.

  • WUSB600N does not work on Windows 7 Ultimate - even with the drivers of the site

    Hello

    I bought the WUSB600N (Ver 2) today and thought it might work on windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) because the drivers are available on this Web site. The accompied D does not work, because it contains only drivers for XP/Vista. However, when I install the drivers from the site (as described on http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=20873) and opened my network manager in Windows, it shows an error "an unexpected error has occurred"... very useful

    I guess that the drivers aren't good, but no other driver for this product is available, and as I know I installed the 'good '.

    Can someone help me out here please

  • Internet does not work on Windows 7, no drivers for the Wifi and LAN

    Original title: Windows 7

    I used to have Windows 8 on my laptop. Well, so I've updated for Windows 10. Config my laptop wasn't as good, so it's slow. Recently, I installed Windows 7 (as it is known for the performance) somehow, the internet does not work. Missing the drivers for the wifi and lan. What should I do?

    Well, as my readers usb and touch screen no longer work.

    You have installed Windows 7 on a machine that is preinstalled with Windows 8, without checking first if the computer manufacturer supported and provided Windows 7 drivers for it.

    If does not support or provide Windows 7 drivers for this, you should never have installed Windows 7 on this computer Windows 8 and we cannot help you.

    Reinstall Windows 8.

  • my password does not work on windows vista. I get the message user profile service has no logon

    My password does not work. I get the message user profile service has no logon. Help please.

    Hello

    You can try the following.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select Safe mode and press ENTER.  If windows will load in this mode, on the Start Menu, click principally made programs, click Accessories, click System Tools and run the system restore.  Choose a restore point at least 24 hours prior to the issue of logon and then proceed to the restoration.  When you are finished, Windows will restart as normal in order to check if you can now connect correctly.

    Another option if the above does not help is as follows.

    Shut down the laptop.  Tap away at f8 that you start the laptop to enter the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Start using last good known Configuration" and press ENTER.

    Kind regards

  • Network of shortcuts without "start in:" set of path does not work in Windows 7

    Well, here is the current situation.  I have network drives with shortcuts that point to another server mapped.

    With a XP machine, shortcuts work fine and open as usual.  In the properties box, the target domain is filled by the full path to the target file, and the start in field is empty.

    With a Windows 7 machine, shortcut icon is only a blank white page icon, and if you open properties, the target field and the field "start in" are empty and do no editing for each field.  Double click on the shortcut results in nothing happens at all.

    I can go to the same short cut on the XP machine and fill it "start in:" field in the properties of the shortcut and it instantly starts to work under Windows 7.  The problem with that is, we have a lot of shortcuts all probably created by the XP machines on these mapped drives.

    Of course, XP has no problem with the start in the field being blank, y at - it a way to make that not required by Windows 7 to the shortcut work?  A change of setting or registry maybe?

    Thank you

  • Qosmio F50-126 - Subwoofer does not work in Windows 7

    My subwoofer does not work in Windows 7.
    I installed the audio driver Dolby Digital... Basically controls the bass.

    That didn't activate it because I don't think the pulse of air, that I used to get under Vista. What driver am I missin?

    I don't have this model laptop but it will be interesting to know if you have that you compared the sound settings in Vista and Win7?
    Can you change anything to make box works properly?

    AFAIK there is no special driver for subwoofer features.

  • Rich Textbox example does not work in Windows 7

    In the past, I use the example of the Rich Textbox (\samples\userint\activex\richTextxbox.prj) in Windows XP (CVI 2010 SP1).

    Now, I noticed that this example does not work in Windows 7 64 bit because the ActiveX is not registered on the system (see error.jpg).

    This control is not installed by CVI IDE itself?

    How can I get this example to work on my Win 7 64 bit machine?

    Hey Vix

    It seems that the Rich Textbox control component provided by one of the VB Runtime is more included by default with Windows 7.

    I was able to manually record using Regsvr32 ActiveX control as described in the following Microsoft KB.

    I managed to download the ActiveX control needed here and there, you must copy the .ocx for the ActiveX control in your C:\Windows\SysWOW64 directory. Open an administrator command prompt and run "REGSVR32 RICHTX32. OCX'.

    SysWOW64 is the "Windows on Windows" emulation directory which is used for the execution of 32-bit controls in a 64-bit environment.

    I realize this isn't the best solution by making the deployment of applications a little more complicated, another solution would be to use another control ActiveX RTF like the one here: http://www.lebans.com/richtext.htm.

    Thank you

  • Cisco Anyconnect VPN does not work in windows 7 64 bit

    Hello
    I found that the cisco anyconnect (version 3, any series) does not work in windows 7 (64-bit).
    The vpn is connected, but there is not any internet access.

    I tried to solve the problems of:

    -Disabling the firewall.

    -disable the anti-virus etc.

    But while I tried using with 32 bit, it works very well.

    Also, I found that there is not a specific version of anyconnect vpn for only 64-bit.

    Do any body have the idea how to solve this problem, either it's a bug of cisco vpn itself?

    Certainly, you just need to install a later version of AnyConnect.  You need a Cisco, for example a SmartNet maintenance contract, to download the new versions.

  • Jet 7 Tablet 5709: HP Jet 7 touch screen does not work in Windows even if it works in the BIOS menu advanced starup

    Less than two months ago, I upgraded my HP Jet Windows 7 to 10. Over time some questions popped up (random apps that could not be opened, etc.) so I decided to do a full reset, deleting the files from the user. Once the 'install' process is complete he brought me to the initial configuration for Windows 10 screen, asking me my keyboard and language preference. He would not accept any contact entry. I rebooted it and he went to the advanced configuration where I could use the touch screen to do a complete reset. That has not changed anything. I found the info on the HP website and did a reset of the BIOS. That has not changed anything. I got an OTG cable, but was not able to get a keyboard work. I did, however, get a mouse works and has managed to create a new user and login. However, the touchscreen does not work in Windows. I was able to get into the settings and looked at the Device Manager settings. There was only a mouse driver listed under Human Interface. I also noticed a number of question marks in the subtopic of the processor drivers.

    I was able to use the OTG cable to try to re - install Windows 10 from a USB key. When a similar initial settings (language, keyboard) screen broke, I couldn't use the touchscreen. Later, I created a USB with Windows 8.1 thinking he might have a better chance. The same problem. He does not touch inputs. And with a key USB installed via the OTG cable, I can't launch a mouse at the same time.

    It is strange that I have not the problem in the BIOS or advanced startup options. It seems that there is a corruption somewhere, but how do I fix?

    Hello Moronihah,

    You did a clean install (delete all files and programs) the 2nd time you reinstalled Windows 10?

    That's what you need to do first.

    Then, you have to go to the HP website and install the drivers on your USB.

    Above all, you need to include the Goodix Touch Controller Driver and pilot, allowing Malta G-Sensor.

    HP Software and Driver Downloads

    You're using a hub 4 ports with your OTG cable? Which will allow you to use the mouse, the keyboard and the entire USB drive.
