Vista Home premium unable to connect a network drive or find the storage network

I have a hard drive attached to the network.  I've never been able to get my Vista machine to map to it.  Network discovery is on.  In the centre network and sharing, if I click on "View full map", Vista tells me 'Windows cannot create a map for the type of network connection', but on that same network card screen if I click on "view computers and devices", I can see the device that I want to connect.  When I try to get the camera when you try to map my network drive, Windows can not see it.  I can ping IP of the device, and I can't open the device html interface in my browser.  My XP and 7 machines see the end reader.

  • My desktop under Vista Home Premium does not connect to the internet.

    I have an Acer Aspire X 1200 desktop equipped with a NVIDIA NForce network controller. About 1 week ago I was browsing the internet, Norton anti-virus popped up and told me to renew my subscription. Now, I've never had Norton on my computer and when you click Remind Me later, my internet crashed. Now the whenever I plug my ethernet cable in the box, it connects to my router Motorola 5BS101 surfboard, but it does not connect to the Internet. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. I tried to run malware programs remover, thinking it was a malware, nothing done. I tried to run to remove virus and nothing. I tried to change the IP address to my my laptop was broadcasting, because the internet runs on it, but no results. When using the command prompt to find out what the problem is, it says the active IP routing: routing WINS unactivated: No. looking at the stats of network adapters, it says active DHCP: No. address IPv6 local link: fe80::15f9:58e2:c2d8:66e7 10%
    Autoconfiguration IPv4: 169.254.102.231. Also using ipconfig / renew, said the message DHCP is not enabled.

    Are you sure you never had a Norton trial subscription on your computer?

  • In windows Vista (Home Premium) Remote Desktop connection does not work correctly

    I installed and re-installed my Vista (Home premium) 2 times already because of the remote desktop connection.  I have a problem connecting from another laptop running windows 7 to connect to my desktop running Vista.  The remote control works on the other hand the meaning of desktop running vista, laptop running windows 7 Professional.
    Looking at the Vista under \System\Remote setting\Remote tab which shows the remote assistance box, but the Office box where you can choose what type of connection can be established remotely is missing.

    I went though all as responses to forum, but nothing helped.  Even in a "sfc/scannow" command prompt running did not help.  It is said that he finds corrupted files, but it cannot solve all corrupted files.  That's why I reinstalled windows hoping to fix this problem but WITHOUT SUCCESS.

    Can anyone help?  I've attached a screenshot of what I see in vista.

    You can connect FROM an original version of Windows to another computer, but you cannot connect to an original version of Windows.

    It is not an 'idea' it's hard cold fact that is at least 12 years old.

  • Update my OS Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 restore my missing file of the Windows Installer Service (and perhaps my RPC end point mapper file)?

    Iolo System Mechanic deep cleaning has totally deleted my Windows Installer Service folder (and perhaps my RPC end point mapper file) on my Vista Home Premium PC. I looked into MSCONFIG and they are gone!  It has been too long to do a system restore or other functions of the round trip. Q: if I buy the Windows 7 upgrade, it also installs?  It will make Windows Installer service (and RPC end point Mapper) reappear?  If not, how to get support from Microsoft?  I already tried all 4 methods in article ID 2642495 re: find the Windows Installer service.  I have now 10 MS Important that cannot install updates because missing the file of the Windows Installer service.  Personal support of Iolo System Mechanic were NO help.  Thanks in advance.

    Hello Pacone

    According to Walter, Microsoft Windows Vista comes with Media Player 11. So please could you clarify the application you are using? The version you gave I guess maybe it is Windows Movie Maker. Here is the link for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011. You can download the latest Live Movie Maker from here. http://explore.live.com/Windows-Live-Movie-Maker?OS=other

  • Ripping my hair out on Vista Home premium unable to download windows updates.

    Hello

    I'm WU notify the value and then I click to install. Updates to April 2016 installed OK.

    In may initially tried to install on the 20th (we had been absent) and just hanging at 0%. Tried again the next day and got the same. Run malwarebytes, spybot, and then full scan AVG (free version). Not bad found, only the usual tracking cookies which I deleted. I tried to install again still clinging to %. I ran sfc/scannow nothing reported and wrote a check for windows and tried again the next day - even once stuck at 0%. Tried a couple of times over the next few days, tried with temporarily off AVG and even with the firewall-no joy. Then the updates installed normally may 26. I assumed (wrongly) that it was a problem at the end of microsoft which had been fixed.

    This month, I get the same hanging of 0%. I went through my usual as cheques above but it sticks just at 0% then when I cancel and close there give the install updates and shutdown option, but there's nothing to install.  When I cancel the update process (after trying for long periods of time and still stuck at 0%) Although it cancels and closes the window, the Task Manager show sychost.exe using more 50% usage do so select services, and then stop the service wupdate or it really slows down this poor old machine.

    Its a 2008 (?) Sony Vaio intel core 2Duo laptop. Reading some of your other requests for information:

    Sound using IE9 9.0.50 but especially the use of Chrome.

    I don't think he ever had norton (?) but may have had in the bloatware included mcaffee, but I would have deleted everything I wanted good enough.

    I use avg free, spybot resident. I have malwarebytes, superantispyware installed but are put to use only on request.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello

    -Did you change your computer, after which the question began?

    If it starts on the desktop in safemode, I suspect involvement of conflict of software of third party causing the problem to occur. I would like you to put your computer in a clean boot State. Clean boot helps eliminate conflicts of third party software.
     
    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual.

  • HP dv6700 windows vista Home premium. Two users and passwords are forgotten for the two.

    Hello

    I'm stuck on the computer I just bought (used). Whenever I turn on the computer and come to the main screen, there are two names of peoples, it is David with a password, the other is Johnathan with a password. I bought the computer of David and his grandson Johnathan set both passwords and now dosen't Johanne remember passwords. I tried 'safe mode', but this shows just the same two names.

    Is it possible to enter the operating system or is it possible to clear the passwords and start over? I don't have the recovery disks.

    Thank you.

    It has an option to order a media recovery on your Support page > install HERE they are usually $17 and can be used to boot the machine and return it to the factory. This will make the machine as it came out of the box... no user account and no password.

  • CD\DVD will not work. Vista Home premium, 64-bit. Message says: Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

    I downloaded the drivers needed from the Dell site and the burner will not work. The computer was again in March 2009. Not sure where the drivers should be located. I downloaded on: win\syswow64\drivers\afc.sys. I've looked everywhere and tried to find a dialog box offering the option "update drivers" for this device. Could not find a way to do except Dell and that doesn't seem to work. The 64-bit system has no 'Device Manager' that I can find. When I look at the properties of the burner, the link to "find a solution" is not highlighted.

    Hello DanHenry,

    Try the miracle solution at this link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060 but before you uninstall all third-party software (example: Nero, Roxio, iTunes). You can reinstall your software after you reboot your system. Please let us know if this helped you. Make it a great day!

  • Corrupted Movie Maker in Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium, associated with error, and I can't find the files manually to use, uninstall or remove.

    I had Windows Live Essentials Movie Maker installed on my system at some point, but then I continued to see live pop up in the Task Manager and no matter how many times I killed him, he always came back even though I was not using the program, so I uninstalled Windows Essentials 2012 to stop this, and it kept popping up , so I went into the system and manually delete anything with Windows Live in the name of via Explorer and then a bit in the registry. He solved the problem, however, now I would once again use Movie Maker, and then I'm gone on the download site to download Movie Maker, thinking this would reinstall it and I'd be set (other than to have to look at consume resources when closed). I tried to get just Movie Maker, but the windows site told me that I had already installed (I can't find something that he mentions just anywhere), so I found another download Movie Maker, an earlier version, which has installed, but did not have the features that I need, so I uninstalled it, so I thought I would setup the whole Windows/Windows Live Essentials 2012 thinking that can replace bad Windows files detected as a facility, but he did not, he just installed anything ELSE in the software suite and I still haven't Movie Maker. He gave me this error (error: 0 x 80280007) when I tried to redo the installation:

    Very well, dandy, I'm happy to do, except that I can't FIND it to uninstall, and it is not in programs and features (uninstall or change a program list). Thus, two options. can someone tell me how to

    1. Movie Maker WORK, tell me where it is and how to start (there is not in Program Files at all).

    2 tell me how to remove completely ANY TRACE of all Windows Live Essentials 2012 so I can do a fresh install of it that works.

    I went to the support conversation Windows and asked how to remove traces of Movie maker, and the tech told me to do:

    del \"%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\wmm.dll\".
    del \"%SystemRoot%\system32\dllcache\moviemk.exe\".
    del \"%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\. \ »
    rmdir /s \"%ProgramFiles%\Movie Maker\.

    But the thing is, none of those that exist to remove, and so I don't think he really UNDERSTOOD what is my problem (more, it hung up). I didn't run them, it seemed useless.

    Alternative: Point Me in the direction of another free software that works as a Movie Maker program. I don't like that makes the software, I just need to put a bunch of short video clips together in a longer video.

    In case anyone cares, it's corrected now. I had to do a repair installation to fix but. Finally, here's what worked:
