Vista troubles - 16/04/2008 17:17
Hi all,
I've taken my first steps with Vista (wished I never had, but I bought a new notebook which doesn't allow me to install XP on it anymore )
I'm now trying to do something very simple, and which I've done a thousand times on XP: share a map and try to access it. Only this time I try to access it on the Vista machine.
I can share the map. I've learned that I need to add a user 'everybody' into the security tab, or the Vista machine won't even see the share. When I create the 'everybody' user, I can see the share, and the files is the share. (read only)
Now, when I try to copy the files from the share to the Vista PC, I get the message that I'm not authorised to do that. I also cannot play any files over the network from within that share (probably the same problem)
But what is causing this? I'm completely lost!
Anybody got any suggestions? Thanks!
