Hi Lynne and welcome to Seven Forums.
When did this problem happen?
Have you made any changes to the PC prior to this problem? Such as updates, driver updates, anti-virus.
It should help to delete the idstore.sst files at
"C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Roaming\PeerNetworking\idstore.sst
After that type services.msc and hit enter etc. restart these services, then reboot the machine.
Peer Name Resolution Protocol
Peer Networking Grouping
PNRP Machine Name Publication Service
In order to see the AppData file and other hidden files you will need to go into Folder Options in the Control Panel, go to the View tab then set to show hidden files and folders.
I am sorrey no one can help I think I have just messed my computer up Thanks for your help
If that is the case then you should try using system restore in order to take your system files back to a date in time when it was working. :)
System Restore
I have just done a trouble shooting scan and it says my printer doesn't have a driver Thanks for your help
No problem, so it was a new installed printer? That is why I always ask for more info on the problem as it can help us a lot more than just jumping into things :) Glad you figured it all out anyways :)
