Can't set computer location to home
Hi everyone, this is my first post ... windows 7 has never acted up like this before ...
I've been trying to set up a homegroup between two windows 7 computers, mine is Ultimate and the other is Home Premium. They also share a workgroup with a windows machine using the default 'workgroup' name.
Setting up the homegroup on my machine fails because I can't switch the computer's location to "home" in the system properties window.
I click the button, restart and it comes back as a 'business computer' still. Any ideas? I'm at a loss as to why this happens or what on Earth I could do to fix it.
Added info: The homePremium computer can setup a homegroup, I can join, but can't access files or printers but the homePremium computer has no trouble getting my files (i.e. works as expected from his end)
