Windows 7 sharing drive not accessible in Vista

We just bought a new Dell with Windows 7 Pro 660 office.

On the same local network, we have a Dell under Vista Home Premium laptop.

On the unity of Win7, we shared a call from external drive DriveG.

The Vista labtop cannot access DriveG even if we use the Login and the password.

The system says that it cannot connect us.

We have two computers in the same workgroup. Both are connected to the same router/modem.

Note that the drive on the Vista laptop is accessible by the Office of Win7. The reverse does not work.

I checked that the Win7 use HOMEGROUP (which isn't good that between Win7 computers.

Can anyone suggest what to do?

Any help would be appreciated.

Please note that our previous computer was an Xp and that the Xp and Vista computers share the same drive without effort.

Thank you.

Hello

1. What is the full error message do you get?

I suggest you follow the given steps and later a update on the State of the question.

Method 1: Troubleshoot file and printer sharing: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Troubleshoot-file-and-printer-sharing

Method 2: The problem can also be caused by your security such as anti-virus program or a firewall of Windows /Defender that can have conflicting parameters as to not not to perform certain tasks. I suggest you temporary disable antivirus and firewall and check the result again. You must activate new security that you was disabled programs.

Disable the antivirus software:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software

Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    There is no showing WMPlayer.exe is good. You must run SFC and CheckDisk and make the
    other procedures to make it work.

    After ALL the above if necessary to reregister the Jscript.dll and Vbscript.dll files.

    Start - type in the search box - find command top - RIGHT CLICK – RUN AS ADMIN

    type or copy and paste-> regsvr32 jscript.dll
    Press enter

    type or copy and paste-> regsvr32 vbscript.dll

  • NAS hard drive not accessible more: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    Dear,

    I am desperately looking for a solution for my specific problem how access my NAS.

    I have a hard drive from Western Digital NAS (Book Live) which worked fine until now. Yet, I just changed my internet provider and I now have a new Fritzbox 6360. Now, I can not access the hard disk of the commune of programs in Windows. I contacted two suppliers already, but without success. I think I have some incorrect settings in my Windows 7, 64 bit. This is the situation:

    -NAS is still working with my old Fritzbox, for testing that I went back-> ok

    -I can access the NAS via the dashboard or a TwonkyServer-> ok

    -When I access it via Windows Explorer, I wonder is to give my credentials (which don't work) or I get the error message: the device is not configured to accept connections on port 'files and printers sharing (SMB).

    -J' changed my IP address (dynamic even static) and connections, password-> without success.

    -J' tried SFC with the result that found no violation of integrity. -> ok.

    Any idea?

    Can you please turn off the NAS, unplug the cable and Ethernet cable? Wait about 2 minutes then plug all the cables back in. Any security program or firewall to this computer? Try disabling it for now.

    You have another PC or laptop which has Windows 7/8 and try to access the NAS?

    You have a smartphone or a Tablet and download an application for the WD NAS and then try to access files.

    I am running Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 2 Build 6002 on a HP Pavilion dv6704nr laptop. I just bought a WD My Passport Essential 500 GB external hard drive with USB 2.0 for PC connection. When I plugged in there first, it did prompt driver install, then install complete driver. I can't detect the drive in Windows Explorer. In the Device Manager, there is every indication that other devices and when I try to reinstall the driver by right click on the properties icon that I get the driver is not digitally signed my mistake by microsoft. WD provides drivers for this HD as they claim that it is already part of the windows operating system. Please help me get this working properly

  • Western Digital external hard drive not recognized in Vista

    This computer is Windows Vista Home Premium (32-bit) with Service Pack 2.

    I have connected an external Western Digital (My Book).  Sometimes the HD appears in devices such as WD My Book IEEE 1394 SBP @. Device Manager, and sometimes it isn't. ????

    No matter, it NEVER so appears as a disc when I look in Windows Explorer. ???

    Help, please!

    Thank you.

    You can get in trouble with your device drivers.  Go to Device Manager by going to start / find and type Device Manager and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.  Check each device to a red x, yellow! or white?  These identify devices with problems probably (drivers, but also of conflict or something else).  Click on each for more details and troubleshooting tips.  If you need to get drivers (and you shouldbring at least for an external hard drive and all you have time to do - they can help way beyond simply solve this problem), let the computer dealer or the manufacturer of the device (NOT of Microsoft Updates).  In fact, you must disable automatic updates in Windows Update driver as follows: http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-disable-automatic-driver-installation-in-windows-vista/. Follow these steps to get the drivers: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/ht/driverdlmfgr.htm.  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    I hope this helps.
