Windows 7 homegroup starter tries to connect to the other win 7 homegroup not working does not as expected

I have two samsung n140 NetBook, both come with Windows 7 starter, I try to get things homegroup networking.

I have set up with the default values at the same time to share the photo, video files etc under homegroup sharing.

He was asked to create a password for homegoup I did it (could have come because I have a NetBook connected initially to a pc running win 7 ultimate, which is where I created a homegroup password but this pc is no longer connected to the network, it's just two samsung netbooks)

in any case when I connected this other netbook with the first he asked me the homegroup password that was entered successfully by me. However, nothing has been free since. These two netbooks running win7 are the only PCs in my home group.

Ive managed to get to a point where in the record of the house band that netbook names are displayed in eachothers homegroup however is listed in network for the group shares residential eachother trying to access the network.

Can I cannect for both computers on the network in the way outdated by sharing folders and access the network folder in my network places and can read and write, but not in the home group.

Homegroup is where I want to control networking not by any other means, I would be very grateful if someone can point me in the right direction please or if its win 7 starter limit myself from network access to the homegroup.

Thank you very much

Hey fatfei,

Welcome to the Microsoft Answers site.

I want to erase some of the basics of networking in Windows 7 Starter edition.

You cannot create a homegroup to a computer running Windows 7 Starter Edition. You can reach only a HomeGroup existing of the starter edition.
This must be one of the restrictions placed on you while trying to connect the two starter edition of Windows 7 homegroup.

So the only option left out here is upgraded to another version of Windows 7 that supports creating HomeGroup via Windows Anytime Upgrade or stick to the way they are connected at present.

For more information, please read this article.

    Hello

    Good luck, you need technical support for a real computer store or system manufacturer is supported.

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon. You can download these on another
    computer if you need to and transfer on removable media.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for card (NIC) network and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like
    updated drivers.

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    Hi Neil,

    This error occurs usually when a record has been changed when an update has been performed on your computer. To resolve this issue, follow these steps:


    Important:
    before you edit the registry, make sure to save, to understand how to restore the registry if a problem occurs.

    Warning: If you use the correct registry editor, you may cause serious problems may require you to reinstall your operating system.

    BACKUP REGISTRY KEYS:

    1. click on Start, click on run

    2. type regedit and click Ok

    3. in the registry editor window, click desktop on the left side to make sure that you backup all the registry keys.

    4. click on file and click on export

    5. save the file on your desktop or in your desired location. It will have the default extension (* .reg) to back up the registry.

    6. If you want to restore a file to the registry, in the Registry Editor window, click file and click Import

    7. navigate to the location and find the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open.

    Note: you will be prompted that importation has been properly registered in the register.

    Hi K - Ann,

    Thank you for the above information.

    I followed you instruction to back up the registry keys, but when I followed step number 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    So I closed my computer and restarted. I then followed your instructions again (this time save the backup of the registry to a member in the same library, called "Backup260910bkup"

    Yet once, when I followed the number of the step 7. Navigate to the location and look for the name of the file with the .reg extension and click Open, the message of answers that I received from the registry editor has been as follows: -.

    Impossible to import C:\Documents and Settings\Compaq_Owner\My Documents\My Backup\Backup260910bkup.reg of register: not all data was successfully written to the registry.  Some keys are open by the system or my other processes.

    Can you tell me what I need to do to work around this problem of backup of the registry?

    I look forward to receiving your response.

    Thank you

    Neil Clark.
