Win 7 Pro Sharing problems
location: 7forums.com - date: April 2, 2013
I recently set up a network of three brand new, identical computers all running Win 7 pro. 1 computer serves as the main computer with files that are shared by one other computer. I copied the shared folders and files from, a now unused (and disconnected) XP computer. I put these folders/files into the shared documents of the main computer. I can see and open any or all of these documents from the #2 computer, but it will not let me make changes to any of the excel or word docs. The only folder that I can open files, modify and save from Computer #2 is my Quickbooks data. All the folders reside in the same location (shared folders) on main computer. I have checked the sharing properties, the security properties and I can not find an

Hi, I have just joined the forum in the hope that I may be able to get some help with the problem I am having.

Upgraded Win 7 Pro VL to Win 7 Pro Retail validation error Not a valid key.
location: microsoft.com - date: February 12, 2013
Had installed Win 7 Pro VL for a project but never activated it and it is beyond the grace period. I did an upgrade to Win 7 Pro Retail but the activation still thinks the system is still VL. Here's the MGA info. This copy of Windows is not genuine. When I try to activate with the retail key I get a key not valid after typing the third letter of the second block of the key. What is the problem and can it be resolved without a total fresh install?   Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0): ----------------------------------------- Windows Validation Data--> Validation Code: 50 Cached Online Validation Code: 0x0 Windows Product Key: *****-*****-CM74G-RPHKF-PW487 Windows Product Key Hash: 71BRYMECVaSXedfumfu8zryHJVY= Windows Product

Windows 7 Professional vs. Home Premium
location: 7forums.com - date: July 16, 2009
So I've done some research and kept up with all the info pouring out over the past few months and I'm trying to decide which version of Windows 7 to buy. Here are a few questions you smarties can probably answer with ease!: 1. I'm looking at getting the Full not upgrade copy of either version I end up choosing. Now upgrade copies only let you upgrade from a previous XP/Vista installation. Does the Full edition let you upgrade as well if you choose to do so instead of a clean wipe and install? 2. Home Premium vs. Professional - I know in Professional you get domain features, encryption, remote desktop. (I may really want Remote Desktop to be able to log into my machine at home from work or on the road etc, so annoying it's not included sta
