Win 7 computers cannot see Vista media centers - please help

I have several laptops of W7 and Vista Office where my media is stored.

They all belong to the same network and W7 computers are all part of the same homegroup.
In Media Player, my Vista machine can see W7 machines and play their media, but W7 machines cannot see the libraries of Vista - which is where my media is housed.
I checked all the options of 'Sharing' on the Vista machine and have allowed him to share the W7 OK machines but it is still not visible on all machines in W7.
All the other settings appear correct, and I tried to disable Kaspersky just in case.
Desperate!

  • Win 7 computer cannot see the computers on the network

    We have 3 computers on our network. A desktop computer running a laptop running Win 7 x 64, an office equipped with Win Vista and Win XP. All 3 are connected to the same workgroup and are properly connected to the internet. The two workstations can see and the laptop on the network and can move the files to the laptop, but the laptop cannot see other computers on the network. Whenever I try to open the network to move files to another computer, the icon just mouse sits and turns and the page remains blank. I thought that maybe he just needs time to see everything, left like that for hours without success. I went through all the troubleshooting steps in the win7 with nothing working Help Center. I don't understand why, if all the computers are on the same network, they can see me, but I don't see them. I am obviously connected properly so they can move the files to my computer. It may be unrelated, but I also can't update windows, keep getting error 80246008 when I try to run the update. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?

  • Toshiba Kira - Win 8.1 cannot see all files on the 64 GB flash drive

    Hi all

    Newbie on this forum. I just bought the i5 8 GB of RAM Windows 8.1 Kira Ultrabook, a great little machine.

    I have a SanDisk 64 GB flash drive that has about 20 GB on it in a dozen files. These folders and the content can be seen by my Windows 7 PC, even my mobile phone and Tablet Tower.

    However, the Kira cannot see both files, even if in the properties of the drive, he sees the space correctly. Turned on all folders and no difference.
    My wife has a 32 GB flash - no problem.

    I reformatted the flash disk, run a virus on the disk and the Kira. The Kira can someone verify the maximum size flash can see it please? I can't find it in any documentation.

    Any help or suggestions appreciated - I ran support Toshiba without a response, so maybe someone here can help you.

    The appearance of the folder is not in your laptop model or your system!

    I recommend you to check some common view windows Explorer settings:

    (1) to see the hidden files and folders reported as
    Click the view tab, and then click Show hidden files and folders.

    (2) to display all the system files that are usually hidden from view.
    Click on the view tab, and then clear the Hide protected operating system files check box.

  • Some computers cannot see Captivate 4.0 to LMS lesson

    Hi guys, we have been very successful to display Captivate 4.0 lessons in our LMS for 2 years, but now we have some very strange things happening.  OF THE 50 + lessons, about 3 lessons on the LMS can be considered on some computers.  We know that the problem is with the Captivate swf file.  On problem computers, the SWF seems to load for 2 seconds and then we get a black screen, or we get just a black screen from the beginning. Computers that can view files (and which lessons have been published), have Flash player 8.  The lessons have been published as AS2 and Flash Player 8.

    Two lessons problem have animations that were imported as the FLA, we also made a few localization (English/Spanish) by importing a file of legend legend/close in the Captivate file. We have done import of legends to many more lessons, but only these 3 act strange.

    Lessons are scormed, but this isn't the issue because we have tried to show only the SWF to a lesson in unscormed and we do not understand about computers 3 problem. The problem occurs with Internet Explorer and Firefox. Computers where we cannot see the 3 lessons have Viewer Flash 11.

    I have "outsourced" activities to see if that is the question, but that did not fix anything.

    Help!

    We have isolated the problem. A quiz question slide - déposer was causing the problem with Flash player 10.3 and 11. We changed drag and drop to an option from the drop-down list and it works now.

  • "The service cannot logon user profile Service" - Please Help

    Hello

    First of all, I'm not very computer so when things like this happen it kind of scares me.

    When I stopped my laptop last night Windows said it would install updates.  When I turned on this morning my profile (the only one on the machine) opens, but a couple of windows programs said they couldn't find the path and would not work (like the sidebar).  This is not the first time that this has happened so I restarted the computer so that they would work next time.

    I put my passwrod in the profile login page and a message stating "the service user profile service does not logon, the user cannot load profile.

    I turned on the computer and a couple of times, but I still can't access.

    Can someone please help?

  • XP computers cannot locate Vista printer on LAN

    I'm trying to set up a home network.  I have 2 older computers running SP3 of XP and a Vista Premium 32.  The Vista computer will not locate the other 2, and other computers will locate the Vista computer, but cannot access the printer on it.  I have files and printers, sharing the value on all computers.  I also downloaded the printer drivers directly on XP computers, but that no longer works.  I've also updated the driver for this printer (HP Officejet 5610).  I also applied hotfix from article 922120.  I tried to disable the firewall and security and which was no help either.

  • Win 7 install cannot see hard drive

    My office has a dual boot with two RAID 0 configuration bays (2 x 40 GB SSD Corsair and 2 x 230 GB Seagate Barracuda) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit on each table. I wanted to convert the largest to a standard IDE configuration with a clean install of Windows 7. I disconnected one of the 230 disc gig and put the other 230 as an IDE drive in the Intel Storage Manager. Now, it appears in the BIOS and I can see as a D: drive in Windows, but Windows 7 install do not.

    With most large raid so disabled both Windows 7 boot choice appeared again during the boot, but of course that one can load. I tried to fix things with msconfig, which showed the two BONES, and I removed the disabled. But Windows 7 install again does not see the drive of 230 gig. (It's the disk Win 7 Upgrade btw)

    How can I resolve this installation issue?

    (1) you remove the existing partition and reformat the hard drive before installing Windows 7 on it? If this is not the case, do.

    (2) also the 230 GB drive must be connected to a standard SATA (Non RAID) port before installing Windows.

    What drives when using two pairs as RAID configurations has the "System" partition, it was the SSD drives or disks Seagate 2 x 230. I guess the system partition is on the SSD you can still start Windows with only the connected Yes SSD?  If Yes, then the steps 1 & 2 above are still valid.

  • PC with Win XP SP3 cannot see router Linksys 1200, although it is there and connected.

    Friend got new router Linksys E1200. Initially set up with the PC above and worked fine for a week or two.

    Then loss of the connection.

    IPhone and MAC laptop work very well on the same network and laptop can access 192.168.1.1 but PC don't even see it.

    Diagnosis of IE says winsock error.

    Re-directed configuration Cisco on PC, but it failed to honor or find the router, even if the network is showing that connections wireless connected successfully to.

    Unintalled Cisco and tried to reinstall, but it fails the process because he can't see the router.

    Update firmware as suggested for router (via MAC laptop) - now V2.004 or something else.

    Changes security wireless WEP etc attempts but makes no difference. Changing the settings in the router itself does crashing. Had to reset to the factory settings and to reconfigure a number of times already, what she does very well on the laptop, but not at all on the PC.

    Any other suggestions?

  • Cannot upgrade vista since December. Help, please.

    Since December 23 last year I have not received updates vista and now the program fails to work properly. I have to restart at least twice a day. Host Windows fails and then I can't use the windows Explorer, and then the office, then I can't open word. etc, etc, etc. The software seems naturally escalate if I do not receive the updates. Help, please...

    Hi Michael Gilwood,

    Since you have tried all the troubleshooting steps and still faced problems, I suggest you do an InPlace upgrade.

    An upgrade on the spot is the final solution before you have to reinstall the operating system.
    Note that it takes as much time to do the upgrade as to reinstall the operating system. In addition, some of your custom Windows settings may be lost through this process.

    Run a repair installation will restore the current installation of Windows to the version of the installation DVD. It also requires the installation of all the updates that are not included on the installation DVD

    Note Run a repair installation will not damage files and applications that are currently installed on your computer. However, before you perform an Inplace upgrade, you can take a backup of important data. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot. To perform an upgrade in-place, follow these steps.
    a. close all running applications.

    b. Insert the Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 DVD into the DVD drive of the computer.

    c. in the settings window, click install now.

     

    Note If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:

    Click on start and type Drive: \setup.exe in the box to start the search.

    Note The placeholder drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD.

    List programs, click Setup.exe.

    In the settings window, click install now.

    a. click go online to get the latest updates for installation (recommended).

    b. type the CD key if you are prompted to do so.

    c. in the "Windows Installer" page select the operating system you want to update or Inplace.

    d. click Yes to accept the Microsoft software license agreement.

    e. on the which type of installation you want? of the screen, click upgrade.

    f. when the installation is complete, restart your computer.

    For more information, please see the link:

    How to perform an upgrade on the spot on Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 & Windows Server 2008 R2

    Once the upgrade has completed, you must activate your copy of Windows Vista.

    For more information about how to activate Windows Vista, see the following article:
