    can you run windows network setup wizard on xp laptop?

    in my network places on left side network tasks
    click setup a home or small office network.
    complete the wizard selecting options that is appropriate.

    sometimes it helps on windows xp pc.

    You got it: immediately none of the settings were appropriate on the windows XP laptop! BRILLIANT! Now for the first time when in the desktop in can click on the laptop and see all the laptop files. I can also see the PRINTER (Brother HL 1440), which is connected to the LAPTOP by USB cable. There is no printer installed on the Windows 7 DESKTOP. The printer works on the laptop fine, but cannot be accessed on the DESKTOP running on Windows 7 so I cannot print a document resident on the DESKTop from the DEsktop. Now I know that there is a update from Windows (for Windows 7) that included a driver to be installed for the Brother 1440 HL printer. I am thinking this driver should be installed on the Windows 7 desktop. yes? Now if yes what directory should the driver be installed in. Usually you download a driver and then execute it, but where should the downloaded driver be located?.

    I am thinking that this driver when installed will allow me to access and print from the DESKTOP via \\LAPTOP. yES?

    Any comments,

    Just install the printer driver on your Windows 7 computer as you would any other.

    It should then be located in a folder (probably named Brother in your case) under All Programs in the Start menu.

    If the printer still isn't recognised go to Start>Devices & Printers>Add A Printer and follow the wizard's instructions.

    I have just noticed that although I can now see all LAPTOP folders (XP) from the DESKTOP (WINDOWS 7) that I do not have permissions to access the folders from the DEKTOP. So I am wondering how I can grant permissions. Should I be working in XP (Laptop) or Windows 7 Desktop? The files I want to access reside on the XP laptop. So this is one primary confusion I have.

    yes thanks; the permissions needed to have "EVERYONE" added withpout the inverted commas. Now I must install the updated driver for the printer connected to the laptop (XP). It prints fine on the laptop (xp), but I wonder if I can pull upo a fileon the DESKTOP print with this printer. I need to find out the proer procedure for installi ng drivers.

    If you have a driver CD for your printer, just insert it in your Windows 7 optical drive and install the driver from there.

    If you don't have a driver disc you can always download the correct driver from your printer manufacturer's website.
