Any Windows 7 Gurus in SME Land? (2 posts)

  • I have a Homegroup set up in Windows 7 and it was working fine. Then we sent our laptop off for a minor service to replace a space bar that came off. It came back and we are now having some oddities happen:

    • from the homegroup laptop we can access all the files on the PC EXCEPT the documents, and
    • If Outlook is open on the laptop, emails to my work emai account go to the laptop and not the PC, but my gmails go to both locations. (we have multiple accounts coming into Outlook, as we do not like the gmail interface and we eliminate a lot of browser sessions)

    This is very odd to us, and it was working properly before. Any ideas on a fix??

  • I have the same system but do use gmail accounts and have not had your problems.

    There are several places to find answers however – At the bottom of this article are some helpful links that may address your problem:

    Or – I almost always find answers to unknowns at “The How To Geek” here:

    You can search for your homegroup problem there too. 

    :D
