I have answered those questions. The command prompt ping does not return anything. I did the \\computername in the IE bar and this is what I said, "In the Laptop W7 IE bar, it returns the directory and subs for the shared XP directory" that is shared. Yes, Yes and Yes, we are on the same...

In the Laptop W7 IE bar, it returns the directory and subs for the shared XP directory. Put the ping returns nothing. If I could just get the Explorer in Laptop to see it directly.

I just tried to rename my xp machine workgroup and it is greyed out (even though I am an administrator).

Tried that also. Does not ping back at all. I am sitting here at the XP with the laptop on the desk next to it. I even tried changing the home network to a work one and no luck. As of now, I am completely baffled. I have searched the internet but get a ton of answers to which none work.

Just tried that and nothing. Renamed the laptop, workgroup, restarted and still nothing. However, I know it works because I have a shared printer connected to my XP machine that the W7 machine prints to. I even created and shared a test folder on my XP machine and I can drill into it via the...

Tried the ping and it did not find the desktop computer. Reset the routers (just for giggles) and tried the re-ping and nothing. Unjoined the Homegroup and tried it and nothing. Pretty weird that a software program can let me drill into my desktop but the W7 OS won't see it.

Sorry about the confusion. Two machines: Wifes Laptop running Windows 7 and desktop running XP sp3. Wifes recognizes the shared printers on the desktop but will not recognize any shared files via Explorer or Networks. However, there are a couple of software programs that I have on the laptop...

My wife's laptop running W7 won't recognize my XP shared files from another computer. However, I have several graphics software programs that allow network detection and I can drill into the files on my XP machine from her W7 machine via the graphics programs but the files are not recognized in...

Have you thought about creating a report and printing that specific report to Adobe and then linking it to the Adobe document in a shared folder?

I disabled the Legacy USB and it now boots fine. Wish the instructions would have mentioned that. Thanks, Brendan

I only have it set to boot from the HD in Bios. Also, what I forgot to mention is that it will finally boot but it takes about 4-5 minutes just to get me to my XP login screen. So in theory it does boot but just takes a very very long time.

I bought a multifunction card reader (5.25 inch bay, 3 USB ports, SATA port, multi card, and sound) and installed it as I have with numerous other hardware in the past. Here is the problem, the computer boots but then hangs after it detects my hard drives. I can't get into the BIOS or...

I swallowed a virus and removed all of them per (Avast, Spybot search and destroy, malware bytes, superanitspyware remover). There are no browser redirects or anything like that. However, after the computer comes to life on a restart, my AVAST begins alerting me that spam email is being sent...
