Can't Setup Homegroup, Can't Share Folders, 1000's of Man Hours
Hey All,
Okay, I'm pretty much at the point of formatting my HDD's and going back to windows Vista.
I have spent 1000's of man hours trying to get this "New, Easier To Use" network system MicroSHAFT has come up with to work..
I am completely at my breaking point... I'm sure Microsoft's answer would be "Just reinstall windows AGAIN, until it works" because that's their solution to all software problems..
I've reinstalled windows 7 at least 1/2 dozen times and I STILL can't get the problem fixed..
I've NEVER had a problem getting my stuff to share with my other computers in ANY previous version of windows since Windows 95.
Now I have Windows 7 on all my home computers, and I can't share anything with anything.
After 100's of man hours I FINALLY got the stupid thing to share media, but I STILL can't get it to share any folders, files or anything at all..
I try to create a home group and I get "Windows cannot setup a HomeGroup on this computer", I try to share a file, folder, or anything at all and I get "Your file cannot be shared.", I've tried the advance sharing option, I get "An error occurred while trying to share __________. Incorrect Function. The shared resource was not created at this time."
I have tried EVERY forum post I could find from both Microsoft directly, 3rd party forums such as this, and anything inbetween. I have tried EVERY suggestion offered, and NONE of them work.
I guess I'm just hoping someone has figured out the insanity Microsoft calls "easy networking" so I can get this fixed, otherwise I will go back to windows Vista, and be done with Microsoft forever.
Thanks for the help..
