Windows 7 does not see the xp on network machines

We are a store Dell running XP Pro on peer-to-peer networks... deployment of Windows 7 Pro workstations and laptops. Out-of-the-box, we put it sharing, discovery, working group; etc. However, some of the machines Win 7 do not see network XP machines and thus cannot use the graphical interface to map to different files and resources. You can their ping, set using "Net Use" or "Add a network location" or "Connect Player" as long as you know the complete path (ie: \\server\server_share\home\bill\cad\cnc.) But you can't see them in the network window to map the drive to records letters. I have studied this issue, has visited many forums and talked to many other tech all with the same question. The conclusion seems to be because it is a Win 7 problem not addressed XP came out. So the current thinking seems to be to use the commands Net use in an autoexec.bat file. So to use the latest version of Windows with XP, we need to use commands BACK maps automatically records. A huge advances in technology. Really? Tell us we're wrong and there is an answer?

  • After you install a second WD 1 TB my book drive, Windows Explorer does not see the new drive.

    Original title: Signature Collision?

    I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.

    Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision

    Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).

    I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.

    Can anyone help?

    Who can help me to get the right driver or learn more? Problems with the carpet * a DVD-ram uj-850 s ATA device and windows Vista.

    Hello

    The CD/DVD drive needs no special drivers!
    Vista includes a Microsoft driver that works with all CURIOUS s (CD/DVD drives)

    Simply said, the Vista should recognize the drive without any problems.

    A few questions; did you get any error messages? What is the status of Device Manager? Do you see yellow exclamation points?

    There is an old way to correct a similar drive problem. It worked on XP then try it on Vista OS.
    It of necessary to update the registry entry
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

    1. click on the start menu.
    2. If it is a Vista machine in the search box type regedit without quotes.
    3. look for the registry key mentioned above.
    4. in the right panel you'll see something along the lines of UpperFilter and UpperFilter you want to click on each key filter and tap on delete. Click Yes when asked to confirm if you want to delete the key.
    5. restart Windows.
    6 let me know if it works.

  • Install HP does not see the printer in network, Windows DOES. Help!

    Hello

    I am trying to add my HP Officejet k8600dn to Windows 7 (32 bit) so I can scan, but the HP Installer (add device) can not see the printer. The unit is set up by cable to a switch on my network via an ethernet cable. If I go into the menu "Add a printer" Windows, I can install the printer very well. But I have to be able to scan and I don't know what to do.

    Tips on getting functional analysis if the HP software is unable to see my printer? Subnet mask and gateway on the printer are the same for the computer and the printer. I typed the correct IP address in the "Add a device" menu of HP, but he sees not just it. ARRGG!

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I think that there is some confusion because the Officejet k8600dn is only a printer, it is not a multifunction device and does not provide the capability of scanning.

    You can find the specifications below:

    If you have any different model printer, please specify the exact model.

  • Portege A600-138 with Vista 32 bit does not see the computers in the Group Win XP network

    Hello

    My Toshiba Portege A600-138 with Vista Business 32 does not see the computers in the workgroup.
    In our office, the computers are all equipped with Windows XP.

    When I connect my laptop to the Local network, I don't see any neighboring computers in Network Explorer.
    I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes to talk to a specialist Service of Support from Microsoft, and the only way to have access to local machines, we found it had to enter the IP of the computer directly into the computer browser path field.

    I hope you understand what I mean.

    The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    He meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.
    He said that probably the sellers - in my particular case Toshiba - supplied their notebooks with VIsta oem images that were somehow corrupt.

    Does anyone have an idea of the cause of this problem?

    > The man said that he had no this problem with non - OEM Windows Vista versions.
    > It meant that the problem was with the oem versions of Vista preinstalled on laptops only.

    That's nonsense for me
    The Vista OS preinstalled Toshiba which is same BONE as full Vista disc from Microsoft.
    There is only one difference; Toshiba laptops are preinstalled with Toshiba and pilots tools and drivers and tools are part of the Toshiba recovery image that contains Vista, driver and tools

    You will find information that a problem has to do with the new Windows Vista network map.
    Windows Vista uses a new Protocol (Link Layer Topology Discovery).
    LLTD is integrated with Windows Vista, this is why they appear correctly in the network map.
    But the problem is that LLTD is not integrated with Windows XP, which is why they do not appear correctly.

    But you can fix the problem by downloading and installing the layer topology discovery responder.
    Install it and your PC Windows XP will appear on the network map.

    Please note that ntoskrnl.exe is a process in the cycle of the initial startup on your computer program.

    The issue is also known to be caused by a short circuit in the ground cable into the keyboard cable.
