Usually when you start getting password prompts out of the blue when you don't even have password protected sharing turned on, it means that the time/date settings on those PC's are not in sync with each other.
I click "see full map" on the 7 machine. It shows the Xp machine but says:'The following devices cannot be placed in the map"
see attached-right click on XP icon and choose open--if you get a request for a username and password--use \\computer name for user name and leave password blank-hit enter--IF this works--then right click on XP icon again and choose create shortcut and place that where it's easy to find

First time on here. I searced and found similar topic but it was over 300 days old so I'll post my problem here.

Ok, I tried to help a few others on here - now it's my turn.
Done the web searches about Win 7 resetting my Samsung T260 monitor on startup to 59hz (from proper setting of 60hz) which annoyingly reduces text size.

Appears many others suffer from this 59HZ 'bug'.
