Windows 7 and xp file sharing: accessible files, others not

I have a desktop Windows 7 (Ultimate x 64) which share several folders to other computers, mainly under XP (Home). This is pretty typical and I'm not having any problem setting this up, it was already setup and works well so far.

However, I recently added a new sharing folder of the Windows 7 computer. What I find is that some of the files in the folder are accessible, and some are not. It is unusual because generally I see that the file is accessible, it is not, but never a few things inside. I would say half the files are accessible, and half are not.

When you try to access some files, I get the message: "file not found". Yet, I see all these files when displaying the list in Explorer directories. This could be the cause?

I tried to remove the share on the Windows 7 computer and recreate from scratch. By doing this, it fixes some of the files that were previously inaccessible, so they become accessible, but other files are inaccessible.

Solving the problems of shared folders

Open the Troubleshoot shared folders utility by clicking the Start button, then Control Panel. In the search box, type troubleshooting, and then click Troubleshooting. Under network and Internet, click access shared files and folders on other computers.

The above is an excerpt from the page below (at the bottom of the page):

    the windows boot configuration data file does not contain a valid entry os

     


    How do I solve this problem

    Hello

    Assuming that it's just a problem with the recovery media, here's another solution, you can try.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC - just download the good Disk Image ( it must be the same version that originally shipped with your laptop - IE if your laptop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, that is the file you need to download ) from the link below and use an app like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly file on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.  The source of the Image is - Digital River.

    Images of Windows 7.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

  • Photos modified in Photoshop then saved, PhotoShop or Mac doesn't give the photo a file extension, and these files can not reopened.

    Photos modified in Photoshop then saved, PhotoShop or Mac doesn't give the photo a file extension, and these files can not reopened.

    I use a mac with PhotoShop CC and have experienced a problem during the recording of pictures once I've retouched in Photoshop. If I open a RAW or DNG file in camera RAW, or a TIF or JPG created in Lightroom in Photo and then change the file, everything looks OK. When I came to save the RAW as a TIF or JPG, or a TIF or JPG saved previously, or DNG PhotoShop or Mac file does not give a picture of a file extension.

    These files cannot be reopened by myself in PhotoShop to be re-edited or opened by someone, I send the photos to use them or for them to print. Also, when I try to load these pictures on a website they are not recognized and rejected. Adobe Bridge recognizes the file in the format that I saved and saved in the metadata window file format, but does not show a file extension.

    So far to solve the problem I had to export the file with the < file > < Export > function, otherwise I do not use PhotoShop like my photo editor. Export gives the file saved a file extension.

    I use a Pro-impression who explained I had sent her one of these files without file extension and it is not able to open, edit, print, or save the file. My printer also explained that he experienced this problem on several other occasions.

    Can Adobe indicate what changes you made and how to overcome this problem please?

    I recently bought a new camera from Sony a7 - ii.  the first time I tried to import raw images taken with it (with a. Suffix ARW) the program says "Preview not available for this file" and then "files are not recognized by the raw format support in Lightroom" I have the most updated version, I think as 5.7.  What should I do to get these files imported as raw files?

    Hi Bobsirkus,

    The camera you have is compatible with the latest version of Lightroom, which is Lightroom 6/CC.

    Please see the list of the camera supported by Lightroom: supported by Adobe Camera Raw devices

    You can use the DNG Converter, converts images and then import them into DNG in Lightroom.

    Kind regards

    It doesn't look like Camera Raw 9.1 is compatible with Photoshop elements 13. But you can download the 9.1 DNG Converter and create DNG copies that work with Photoshop Elements.

    Update should allow you to enter the serial number of the previous version during the installation

    If this does not work, you must communicate directly with Adobe

  • Windows xp and mp4 files.

    I have windows xp and you can't play a mp4 file.  All ideas/solutions?

    There are many types of mp4 files, you need to know which codec made those you want to play and then install the codec for it.

    If it came from a camera, you can find the disk contains the codec you need, or can help ensure that you have the latest version of quicktime.

    Otherwise, use avicodec to find out what it is, then look for the manufacturer of the codec, I recommend to install the codec packs.

  • Problems with Windows search and PDF files

    Server 2008 R2, the client is Windows 7.  I store invoices in digital format PDF in one hand.  The server took to the index folder and its contents, added the last addition to Adobe pdf, but if I search documents for words I know are there, nothing is found.  In another post, it was suggested to ensure that the system was in the full access permissions list.  I have the server to remove and rebuild the search index, everything has not helped.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    I have this problem on my own.  Do NOT access through dfs.  Go directly to the server.  In our case, \\harry.com\AR\invoices won't work not, but \\Apollo\AR\invoices doesn't.  It's as simple as that.
