Using Touchsmart software network drive

I am totally new to windows7/mce and touchsmart and trying to figure out if you want to use Windows Media Center or Touchsmart sw or others to play music, video, photos, etc.

However, it seems that the Touchsmart sw cannot use the files from my server at home, where I have all my pictures and music.

Is this true? I mean, what makes the suite full sw completely useless?

Hi David,

Music 2.0 software TouchSmart is unable to access the network drives, unless you create playlists of music WMP. If you have a few thousand music files then this would very quickly become tedious...

However Touchsmart 3.0 music is able to access the shared network drives, for example:

  • The directory of the user on the mapped network drive

    I want to move my user directory C:\Users\Edwin to a mapped network drive E: (i.e. mapped from a network share \\\\192.168.22.9\share ).

    The difficult part is to move the directory of the user himself. I found 2 possible solutions, which are not applicable for me due to my use of a network drive.

    1. Move C:\Users\Edwin" to "E:\Users\Edwin , and then use a symbolic link of junction ( mklink -J ) to post a link to C:\Users\Edwin .

      This does not work for me because I can't create a symbolic link to a directory on a non-local drive junction.

    2. Changing the value of registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory of %SystemDrive%\Users to E:\Users before you create the user "Edwin".

      Later, when the "Edwin" user first connects, the profile will be in E:\Users\Edwin .

    The problem is that I met a problem of the egg and the hen.

    When you first login as a user 'Edwin' profile will be created in E: . However, at the moment I first login, the mapped network drive E: is not there.

    I tried without success to the following:

    1. Create a drive mapped persistent administrator. Did not work. The mapped drive is only visible to the administrator user.

    2. Create a mapped drive persistent using the rights system (using PsExec -s ). Did not work. The mapped drive is not 'owned' by anyone, not even the current administrator user.

    3. Create a drive mapped persistent by using the user newly created by Edwin, without opening a session as Edwin again (using the PsExec once again). Did not work. It is possible to create a mapped drive under a different name, once I tried to do it with persistence ( /persistent:yes ), I get a Access is Denied error.

    No idea how this can be done? Or is it it even can be done at all?

  • Freecom network drive does not work in Windows 7

    My network of Freecom 400 Gb, LAN + USB 2.0 drive, works fine in Windows XP.

    After installation of the software (for XP) Windows 7 recognizes the drive (FND) in the network, but clicking on the drive reported an error.
    When you try to 'Add and remove mapped actions' drivers software the network drive does not.

    Unfortunately, Freecom doesn't give not any medium.

    On some forums, I found a 'solution' that did not work for me: Start - computer - Network\\FND\Public

    If anyone using a Freecom network drive has found a solution, it could make me very happy to cummunicate this for me.

    Johan Dulac

    Hello

    1. What is the exact model of the Freecom Network drive number?

    2. What is the full and exact error message?

    I suggest you to check if the drive is compatible Windows 7.

  • OfficeJet Pro L7580 appears as a network drive in Win7

    I have a new Dell with Win7 64-bit desktop computer.  I installed the printer with last full 64 bit HP software program downloaded from the HP website.  My all-in-one L7580 load on my network as a hard drive.  When I click the link it reports: "LOCATION is NOT AVAILABLE.  Z:\ is not accessible.  An unexpected network error has occurred. "When I right click on the link and select 'Properties', it displays the properties of a typical hard drive and not the properties of a printer.  When I right click on the link and select "Disconnect", it switches off this "Z drive".  L7580 functions perfectly whether or not I let this "Z drive link" in my network list and if I choose to disconnect the drive "Z".  At this point, it's just a boring anomaly.  However, I have a Lexmark Black and white on that same network laser network printer and the Lexmark does not exhibit this behavior.  I have a small home network (cable modem, router 4-port Netgear with two computers and these two printers plugged into the router 4 ports.)  The router assigns the two printers IP addresses and I can connect to the web page internal to each printer with its information and settings just by entering their respective IP addresses in my browser (192.168.1.x).

    Just curious to know if one of the members of the technical forum have some ideas about this anomaly.  Can live with it, I won't if I don't have to.

    I don't think that it is an "anomaly". IIRC, the printer has memory card ports. So when you install the printer software, network drives are created as a reference for the memory card slots. They will appear even if you have all the cards inserted. Even if you remove them now, they will reappear after you restart the PC. All I can suggest is to ignore it.

  • Network Drive will not refresh, I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    The network works fine with one question. When I add a new file on the same machine and try to access this new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I have to disconnect the network drive of the machine with the new folder, and then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder appears in Windows Explorer on the second machine.

    It's very frustrating when I want to add a file attachment to e-mail from another machine and it does not appear until I disconnect and re - map the drive.

    I hope this all make sense. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I don't remember this problem when my network was XP Pro machines.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help.

    The I work around this problem is to do step 1 and step two, as you suggest.  I haven't restarted the computer though - I will also try it.  I have also not tell abled my ESET NOD32 Antivirus software either - I'll try that too.
    The network drive I'm seeing 'change' on does not refresh by itself, when I press F5 or go to view/update.
    Search Google indicates that this refreshing a network drive issue to show a newly created folder, etc. is a long time, Windows 7 problem.
    I would like your ideas on the potential problem of Windows 7 found on Google.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • P20: cannot use the DVD - RAM drive after installing a trial software

    Hi members,

    I am using Toshiba satellite P20 - 604 model - load with windows xp prof - SP2. I wasn't able to use the software from burning DVDs successfully, so I tried to install cyberlink Power2Go software (trial ver) in there and ended up with "No. DVD RAM DRIVE APPEAR" in my computer. I could see the device dvd - ram with a yellow exclamation point in Device Manager. (the drive model is MAST * A DVD-RAM UJ-811). I tried to update the driver for it, no use. No idea how to recover the original driver and make it available for use dvd - ram drive? waiting for your valuable solution.

    Thank you & best regards

    M.Kanagaraj

    Hello

    The easiest way is to use the system restore option if you have created a restore point before you have had an experience with the trial version of Power2Go. If this is not the case, check if there is a system restore point has done in recent days.

  • NetCut! A person is to destroy my network using this software.

    Someone is using netcut in my network where I am providing internet service to about 100 computers via local network.

    Please help me the person using this software, disconnects from my clients on the internet and if receive so many complaints.

    There must be a protection in windows xp that a client may not be able to cut off the internet from another customer who is possible by NETCUT

    Help, please...

    It is more than a network rather than a problem of Windows problem, so what is important here is the architecture of your network.  NetCut works using ARP Spoofing.  The article of Wikipedia on ARP spoofing lists some defenses against this attack
       < >http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/ARP_spoofing >
    In the end, you have to discover what machine generates the attack, then remove them from the network.  Anti-Netcut claims on their website to be able to identify the source of the attack (although I've never used this software).  The routers that you use can make this easy or difficult the solution will be more likely to boil down to use a packet capture/display as freewareWireshark program to empty ARP packets on your screen while you disconnect the legs of your network in order to narrow down on its source.  If Anti-Netcut identifies the MAC address of the attacker and you use professional quality routers/switches, you can connect to the administration on your router/switch page and discover the address connected to the port and from there.  If it's random.

  • I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.

    original title: strange NAS problem

    Hi everyone I can't seem to fix this strange problem.

    I can't use windows Explorer or the network drive mapping to access my NAS drive more.
    I am running windows 7 Professional 32-bit on my PC, and until about a week ago she accessed from my PC very well.

    The location could not be reached and have not been able to run since said today that I went to update it and the drive mapped. I'm at my wits end.

    Here is some info.

    I can access to other computers and devices on my network.

    I can access the internet.
    I have a windows XP PC in the House who can always connect to my fine NAS drive (even if it's not mine).
    I PING the NAS drive.
    The NAS drive will do the same if connected via cable or by wireless.

    UPDATE: after the implementation of a shared folder on a Windows XP computer on the same network I am also unable to acsess the part of my PC. So I can assume that I can't browse all share folders or NAS drives on my local network.

    Help, please.

    Thanks for the help, but I fixed my problem

    Here's what I did in case anyone wants to know.

    I went into Device Manager and went to network adapters.
    I then expanded this section and under view changed to display hidden items.
    Several hundred elements appears (for most 6to4 adapters) and I deleted all the.
    Then click scan for new hardware.
    And... everything works again! YAY!

    I replaced my hard drive and format my computer before turning off the software PS.  It need my code series now, but I had lost.

    How can I solve the problem and use the software again?

    If you use a perpetual Photoshop and formatted your disc version of starting without disabling your activation of Photoshop, you also Adobe supports help you activate Photoshop once you retrieve your serial number.  The startup disk formatting would destroy that credential of Activation Photoshop machine which is registered in the database of the Adobe activation server. Which reduces the activation numbers you have to use.  If you have Photoshop installed on a second computer that means that you have no free activation available as well, even with your key you can't activated the machine.
