Hello, I hope you are doing well.

I am trying to set up a homegroup for the first time on my Windows 7 Professional computer and it isn't allowing me to. After I select what I would like to share (Pictures, Videos, etc.), and click on the Next button, I get the pop-up error message "Windows cannot set up a homegroup on this computer."

Any help? Thanks.

Can't join Homegroup

So my girlfriend is home, and once she turned on her computer, a homegroup showed up on my computer. I tried to joined it, but ran into the same message as earlier. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Check your pc's clock. If your clock is off significantly from the pc whose homegroup you're trying to join it will fail.
