    Where are my network devices???


    Hi All,
    I used to see all my network devices in windows explorer under "Network" (not HomeGroup) such as all my computers (Win 7, VISTA, etc.) IP CAMs, router, network printer and IP Hard Drive (NAS).
    I could double click on any and after entering login information I could access whatever the device had to offer (shares, config menus in case of router, etc)

    After installing TuneUp Utilities 2011, all I see is my computers, non of the other computers, no printer, no IP cams, no router, no net drive.

    I am running windows 7 ult. x64. My network is set to "Home" and the firewall is disabled.

    Does anybody have an idea what setting got changed?

    Thanks a lot.

    Welcome
    That tune up stuff is not needed, may cause problems
    Go back with system restore 3 days before the tune up

    Then just follow these easy instructions to maintain your own computer
