  • Cannot share folders on network with Vista?

    I have windows vista and the other pc has vista with a net-gear router and modem. and i have shared my external hard drive. but I cannot connect to it when i hit the network tab in start menu it will list the pc,s in network, I have gone to network and sharing center and configured it I have done this before and it works. I did a clean install 3 days ago and it worked fine. I installed windows doctor and run all tasks and let it do all recommended task's (never used it before) I have no restore points to restore back. Could this problem be in router or is there something in services that needs turned on ? i can go to a shared folder from my pc to a pc in my frontroom.(with vista) it has windows doctor on it too but I haven't run it as much. If there is any questions I will try to answer them immediately.

  • I have a office XP issue it wont open my file?

    when I open it in office it says : Excel cannot open the file \'PHONE BOOK.xlsx\' because the file format or file extension is not valid. Verify that the file has not been corrupted and that the file extension matches the format of the file. instead of a xl file it's a xlsx file now. I have tried converters and they didn't work. Can anyone help or should I just give up and delete it? I'll try anything.
