Windows 7 Pro usually access my Windows XP PC at home

I'm trying to send files from my windows 7 pro pc to my windows xp pc I had my pc windows 7 to show my pc under windows xp in the list of network pc but when I click on it, my pc windows 7 ask you a user name and password that I don't know and never set up on my xp pc how to find set upward or change this to share my fi.les on the pc windows 7 on xp pc?

My assumptions

I guess you tried just using them together for your question relates to a matter of setting and not a flaw that appeared after a certain period when the network to have behaved correctly.

I also assume you are using a router rather than a simple connection by Ethernet cable between their LAN connectors.  There is no implementation of controls for a direct connection.  I have a direct connection between my Win7 & WinXP Pro but there are differences between XP Home & XP Pro, so some of my terminology would be incorrect - if I understand correctly the only notable difference is that XP Home has the safety of the less robust.  See a procedure step by step for the creation of a network of Ethernet cable of two computers between Windows 7 and Windows XP Pro with ICS.  You might find useful additional comments on XP Home in your Windows 7 helps the Networking computers running different Windows versions , but I don't think that there is nothing of major importance in this article.

My advice

Both computers must have a common Admin account on them.  So just create an Admin account on your Windows XP with the same name & password as an Admin on your Windows 7 account.  Use this account to authorize the initial operation [you see the dialog box allows you to change the name of the account you want to use for authorization].  You should be the inverse as well [WinXP to Win7] and you can allow using the Admin account.

Once this is done, the network should function normally.  The Admin account, you choose the initial approval is not constrained your subsequent use of the network - other users will also be able to use the network without additional authorization is necessary.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Can I use "Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate]" upgrade to Professional to ultimate?

    "Can I buy" Microsoft Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade [Home Premium to Ultimate] "and use it to upgrade Windows 7 Professional to ultimate?

    # Anytime Upgrade is specific edition.  If Home Premium was the original OS on the computer and then restore it and then use the HP upgrade last month to THE or buy a professional for the last update.

    Except if you have language packs that come with Ultimate I'd stay professional.  Professional is expected to support up to 2020, while Ultimate is limited to supported until 2015.

  • Patch authentication LEAP Cisco space required for Windows 7 64 bit Home Edition

    Hi all:

    I tried both Vista Business 32-bit PC and Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit for Cisco LEAP Authentication. The result is that Vista Bz PC can have authentication option Cisco LEAP under wireless security option, Windows 7 Home Edition 64 bit does not. After select, it works with the authentication LEAP of Cisco AP1041N.

    May I know that Cisco can provide the patch driver file for authentication on Windows 7 64 bit home edition LEAP so that I can make authentication wireless on Cisco AP1041N?

    Or any body knows a way to get this Windows 7 64 bit home edition to work with authentication with Cisco AP1041N LEAP?

    Many thanks in advance and best regards,

    Tang,

    It seems that you can not use jump unless u install intel proset "supplicant" that supports only the drivers intel.

    CHECH the link

    http://www.SevenForums.com/network-sharing/3084-security-wireless-Cisco-leap.html

    So it seems that give u the option for Cisco leap in windows vista is a software provided by intel. Microsoft or Cisco.

    If you have intel driver u better contact intel if you want jump built in. If not then I don't know if anything will make leap to work built into windows. You need a global independent "supplicant".

  • DVD won't play in Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium Media Center.

    I tried many DVDs in my Windows 7, 64-bit Home Premium system, and none of them will play in the Media Center, with the exception of a 1955 film that plays without problem. I guess it was a good year. In the lower right corner of the Media Center, a window says: "Play DVD - Windows Media Center cannot detect a video DVD in the DVD - Rom drive. Insert a video DVD in the drive." Apparently, the DVD is not detected. What is a missing codec problem? I read about downloading the Codec of the user, only to cause more problems, and I did a lot of searching for an answer to this and found a countless number of users having problems with DVD in Media Center and no collective solution. How can it be this difficult? What is the problem with Windows 7? Why can I play a DVD of a film of 1955 (Mr. Roberts) and not of today's movies? The only solution that I come up with to this day, even after checking with the maufacturer of my optical drive, should consider buying the codec itself, if that is what is lacking, or a DVD player to possibly of Roxio. But after the piece of hugh of money I paid for my software Windows 7, I would not have bought anything others of another company. I wouldn't think to go back to XP, but I've had far fewer problems. Any help would be appreciated. Don

    Hi Mary - thank you very much for your answer. My PC is a Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer. I just got the phone is turned off after a few hours of troubleshooting with Dell hardware and software services. Dell is sending a technician to replace my optical drive. They hope that clears the problem, but if not, they say that I might have to reinstall Windows 7. This is happening due to your pointing me in the right direction with your post, and troubleshooting I could do before, I called Dell. I had different problems for a while, and maybe they'll finally get fixed. Thanks again, Don Don

  • Can I still buy windows 7 anytime upgrade home premium to ultimate?

    You can use the product key and the Express upgrade to Windows 7 Edition Home Premium to Windows 7 Professional Edition-full. First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional/ultimate at the request, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify its update of the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional/ultimate your files, programs and settings retained.
