• Win 7 computers cannot see Vista media centers - please help

  I have several laptops of W7 and Vista Office where my media is stored.

  They all belong to the same network and W7 computers are all part of the same homegroup.
  In Media Player, my Vista machine can see W7 machines and play their media, but W7 machines cannot see the libraries of Vista - which is where my media is housed.
  I checked all the options of 'Sharing' on the Vista machine and have allowed him to share the W7 OK machines but it is still not visible on all machines in W7.
  All the other settings appear correct, and I tried to disable Kaspersky just in case.
  Desperate!

• WIndows 7 64 cannot locate/install print driver for a HP Laserjet 1022 USB on a box of XP SP3 32 bit

  I tried several times to use the original installation disc, the latest version of the software driver hp Forum, etc. All with no luck. And now, of course, my host system is all messed up with installs partial. I know it works because I saw another W7 - 64 box to connect to the same XP machine via the network. I need measures to clean first the disorder of my current box then the steps to connect to the printer on the XP machine over the network. This is similar to a question last may, who seems to have been abandoned.

• Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

  Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
  Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

  It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

  The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

• Satellite A300 - cannot locate any wireless network

  Hi all

  I just bougth today a Satellite A300, everything works fine except the wireless access. Ethernet access works very well, and the problem is not with my wireless device since it works with my old laptop.

  It cannot locate any wireless network. It does not appear to be activated WLAN and I don't know how to enable it in the BIOS.

  The swicht wireles on the front of the laptop is turned ON, but not the function Fn + F8 appearing at all.

  Can anyone help please?

  What you mean with this WLAN is in the BIOS not enabled? Normally, you can change all BIOS options then try to activate it.
  Also make sure that the WLAN switch is on and active with FN + F8.

  Visit the Toshiba for a driver and the update to the BIOS:
