I am working with a client's Vista Business laptop and want to make a folder on his SBS 2003 server available offline. When I do so, I get HUNDREDS of errors: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process." (Just over 500 of them now, and counting...) I know there is nobody else using these files - this user is the only one with rights to the folder. ...

Having lots of problems with sharepoint. Running WSS2.0 on my SBS server, and WSS3.0 on a networked W2K3 server. I can map a drive to a sharepoint document library. However, next time I log in there is a big red cross through the shortcut and it doesn't work. Doesn't ask for authentication and just refuses access because "the user has not been authenticated". I can create a new network...

Hi, I realize that there are already a ton of threads on Vista/XP file sharing problems but I have did a search and non of them addresses my specific problem, nor does it contain the same case that I have.

After installing my 3rd Vista computerat home, I can no longer see the old XP computers from my Vista computers and viceversa (up to the 2nd one I could..).

Many thanks...

Then during the day the connection will hold sometimes for 3...

I have two wireless networks stored on my new laptop. One for home and one for work. Before I upgraded to Ultimate from Premier, I would not have any issues connecting to my Work or Home Access Point. However, since upgraded to Ultimate, I can only connect to the Access Points if I choose to "Diagnose and Repair" or shut down my wireless network modem and turn it back on, on my laptop. ...

I do several thing to secure wireless connections for my customers, however one of the key features I use is turning off the Broadcast ID ( SSID ) to hide the name of the WLAN along with other security measures, however the wireless network adapter/controler will not keep the Broadcast ID connection as it does in XP. When you turn off the Vista computer/ laptop it forgets the ID it belongs...

I would like to do this. I can access the XP hard drive from the Vista machine and I set up the sharing on the Vista (Business) machine in apparently the same way as on the XP machine. I can map the drive and its individual folders, but when I try to access anything I get an access denied message. Actually I am doing this for all the wrong reasons. I want to see if I can scan my Vista drive...

Try the ZyXEL G-202. But DO NOT use the driver that Vista will attempt to load. It won't work (causes BSODs). Get the driver off of the ZyXEL web site. The driver works on both XP and Vista. Don't install the ZyXEL USB device utility software, just the driver. Let Windows XP or Vista manage the device, and it works fine. This is a wireless G device that can also be used as an access point...
