  anesvet,
  I'm going to sound like I'm repeating myself tonight... (see previous 4 posts...)  but try this:

  When you start start pressing F8 until you get the Windows startup options.  Then try "Last known good configuration" see if that helps.  If this does not work, try to F * then try to go to Safe Mode.  If those who do not help, I would start with your XP CD to recovery mode and run "chkdsk/r" then "sfc/scannow".  QQ learn manage!

• Computer laptop Windows 7 can see other wired PC via a wireless connection by specifying the box "search programs and files" drive letter in the start menu, but not in the network screen

  My laptop with Windows 7 (64-bit) can not see the other desktop PC running Windows XP via a wireless connection, except if it is plugged into my laptop so only I can see them on the network.
  I checked all the working groups to ensure that all are the same.

  However, when my laptop into Wi - Fi, I could see the other wired desktop PC by specifying the network path in "search programs and files" to the start menu in the Windows 7 laptop, I was able to add network folder by specifying the drive letter for the connection and file I want to connect via a right click on the network to connect a network drive...

  Then, finally I can access any other desktop pc wired to shared folder via the Wi - Fi by this method.

  But I still don't see them on eventhrough network I can access by this method. Please help me solve this problem.

• My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

  It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

  • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
  • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
  • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

  Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

  Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

  1. Nickname
  2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
  3. First name or last name
  4. Company
  5. E-mail address
  As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
  • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
  • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
  • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
  • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
  • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
  • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

  If this does not solve your problem, please post your question in the forum dedicated to contacts in Windows Live Mail.

  Hello

  Hello
  Maybe this can help.

  Win7 when configured on the peer-to-peer network has three types of configurations of sharing.

  Group residential network = only works between Win 7 computers. This type of configuration, it is very easy to entry level users to start sharing network.

  Working network = fundamentally similar to previous methods of sharing that allow you to control what, how and to whom the records would be shared with.
  
  Public share = network Public (as Internet Café) in order to reduce security risks.

  For the best newspaper of the results of each computer screen system and together all computers on a network of the same name, while each computer has its own unique name.

  Make sure that the software firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall on, Vista/XP Firewall Native should be disabled, and the active firewall has adjusted to your network numbers IP on what is sometimes called the Zone of confidence (see part 3 firewall instructions

  General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq.html#trusted
  Please note that some 3rd party software firewall continue to block the same aspects it traffic Local, they are turned Off (disabled). If possible, configure the firewall correctly or completely uninstall to allow a clean flow of local network traffic. If the 3rd party software is uninstalled, or disables, make sure Windows native firewall is active .

  If your network consists only of Win 7 and you want a simple network, use it.

• I saved the files to dropbox from the CC of Photoshop to the trial but now they have disappeared. I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist? Is it because I have saved on the trial?

  I saved files to fropbox of the CC of the Photoshop of the trial and now they have disappeared.  I can see them in the list of recent files, but they say that they no longer exist. Any ideas as to where they went?

  If the PS says that the files no longer exist, you probably renamed, moved or deleted.

  Use your operating system (Win Explorer or Mac finder) to watch your Dropbox folder and veryfy that the files are there.

  The fact that you are using a trial has nothing to do with it.

  2. what type of media files are they?

  Check the following article to see if these files are supported by the Windows media player installed on the computer. If these files are not supported, then you will need to download the third-party codec to play.
