I cannot acess files onmy Win XP Pro server from my three win 8.1 umits

Okay, I'm finally off of most of the medicinal drugs and I still cannot get my share/use commands to work.
My environment is 4 PCs local network (one win 8.1 laptop (wireless), one win 8.1 desktop (hardwired and wireless), one win 8.1 tablet (wireless) and one win XP Pro - SP3 desktop (wireless) - the drive is an NTFS formatted drive.
On the in XP server with simple file sharing turned "OFF", I created a net user command that added a user. I set a password for this account and then the /add: operator. I used the /homedir: option to set the home
directory to the root directory of drive "C". I used the Net localgroup command to move don.farr into the administrator group. Both commands execute properly on the XP server. I also issue a net share command to share the root directory
of drive "C".
Using the laptop (Win 8.1) I do a net use command with the password for the drive appended to the end of the net use command.
When I try to access the files on my z: drive, I get "access denied" messages regardless of which method I use to get to the data files. For example, using "cmd" I switch to z: and cd into the root directory. I can do
a "dir"and see all the files, but if I try to do a "type" or even open the file with notepad (example "autoexc.bat") I get an access denied message.
Now, just to make matters more interesting, if I do "remote access", I can get to the drive and do just about anything I want to. Also, if I issue a "Net Session" command, I will see the user (don.farr) as a listed user but instead
of seeing the proper fullname. I do see the IP address followed by the user name.
On the win XP Pro system, if I issue the Net user command, I see user set up in the administrator group.
So I ask, what in the world am I doing wrong that is preventing my in 8.1 from full access to my in XP Pro drive.
This only became an issue of late because I am recovering from knee surgery and my ability to move to the different computers is a severe challenge at this immediate point in time.
Please help me!

The most probable reason stems from difference between SMB versions. W XP is SMB 1 and W 7 and 8.x are 2 or more. Lower higher version Windows to lower SMB. Sometimes other configuration items may play the role, namely
autotuning. Also versio 6.x Wiindows has different mechanism for neighbor discovery.
Root directory is usually shared by default and is accessible to local administrator.
I do recommend to place your question into public forum answers.microsoft.com

HT4783 I cannot AirDrop files between my MacBook Pro & iMac.

I cannot AirDrop files between my MacBook Pro & iMac even though they both recognize each other when AirDrop is open. When I open a file & choose AirDrop it doesn't allow me to click send. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You can only write in NTFS drives in Windows, not OS X or Linux or any other UNIX-based system. If you want to write in NTFS drives, you have to use a third-party application as Paragon NTFS.
Another possibility you have is to format the external drive in a format that OS X can read and write in it, like HFS+ (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)), FAT32 (MS-DOS (FAT)) or exFAT, but this is longer and you need a lot of time to back up your external drive files

Trying to reinstall Acrobat Pro X from disc onto win 8.1 system. (Previous installation got corrupted) Continually getting message ‘Acrobat has detected another process which has not yet completed…’. Have now closed system both cold (full shutdown) and warm (restart) over 10 times. Every time I go to reinstall I get message.

I would run http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and delete any Acrobat folders that have been created, then try again. Be sure to log in as the administrator and disable anti-virus when you have problems like this.

Convert a Mac Pro Server from January 2007 with OS 10.4 Server to Snow Leopard 6.0 (NON SERVER)

I have a Mac Pro Server from January 2007 with OS 10.4 Server installed. I want to convert from OS 10 Server OS to just using Snow Leopard 6.0 (NON SERVER). I have two hard drives installed. What is the best way to do this?
Can I just install Snow Leopard NON-SERVER on the second drive, then switch it into the place of the original main drive?
Can I switch the drives, then install the Snow Leopard on the replacement drive?

Not sure how you configured the server, though you can install snow leopard on second HDD and select boot drive with pressing "option" key during startup.

Win 7 Pro not connecting to remote Win 7 pro via port 3389

I have a new Dell XPS 8700 Win Pro 64 bit that will not connect to work machine of same specs, i.e, XPS 8700 Win 7 Pro. Ironically an old lap top running XP Pro
will connect to work computer. I have a new Dell laptop with Win 8.1 pro that will not connect either. I tried everything, uninstalled Symantec End point, shut off the Windows Firewall, did a complete
hardware check via Dell Diagnostics, made sure network discovery was on as well as all remote services, turned on RD, changed every setting on the RD dialog box, pinged the external IP and it timed out. None of the forums seem to have an answer and I
am at wits end. I set up 15 machines at work under Win 7 for RD and all are working with Win 7 Pro.

Hello Al Wayne,
What is your current situation?
Please share us more information for better analyzation as Frederik Long mentioned.
Do you mean that the Dell XPS 8700 and laptop can’t RDP to work Windows 7 machines, but the Windows XP laptop can RDP to?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. Share us the result of command ipconfig /all in the source and destination computers
2. Check if we can ping the Windows 7 machines from the Dell XPS 8700 and laptop

How to download the files, that are located in server, from the client?

Hello folks,
My program is like that, the files are located in the server and stored in file system.
I can only know the server name and the directory listing, so that I can show the file names from that directory on the browser.
The user might downloads those files from the browser and he might deletes those files through the browser.
That user has valid right to do so and the files can be any type of extension.
So how can I write this kind of program? Currently the whole system is in struts, so how can I make compatible with struts technology?
Do u have any ideas?
Regards,
Phyo

Thank you, grigpm. But actually I want the user to select the file that he wants to download rather than setting it in the configuration file. If it is possible, let me see the sample code of FileManager servlet. I've tried with some ways but I can only download from the same server with the application server. I want to download from different server. I hope someone can help me with sample code....
Best regards,
Phyo

Cannot acess file on server from client machine using java web start

Hi everyone,
I am creating an appication using JWS and Apache Web Server version 2.0.54 on Linux. I am trying to access a file on the server that IS NOT inside the jar file. I have given full access (r, w, x) to all users on my server. We also created a FilePermission object and gave the file read and write access as well. But when we deploy the program and try to get this file, a SecurityException is thrown with the following mesage:
acess denied (java.io.FilePermission filename read) where filename is the file in our local filesystem. Any suggestions on what I can do?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Raj

It sounds like you are trying to access the file as if your JNLP application were running on the server. The JNLP app is running on the client machine, so you will need to use a URL to open the file. Take a look at the JavaDocs for the following:
     java.net.URL
     java.net.URI
     java.net.File
You also need to be sure your server is configured to serve the file. For example, you ought to be able to access the file through your browser using something like http://www.myco.com/myapp/myfile.txt. (How you configure your server is a topic for a different forum.)
You probably also want to look into JavaWS security, and even Java security in general to determine if you need to sign your app or not. Here are some links to get you started:

Hi,
I tried to upgrade win-8.1 Pro from store and it run more than 12 hrs and does not move after 98% "Preparing to restart".
I tried few times after restart also same.
why
Tks

Hi，
By analyzing the error log, operating system did not have correct privileges to perform the upgrade.
Did your computer join the domain?
If your computer joined the domain,we suggested you to remove the machine from Domain and move it to a workgroup
Did you have multi-bootable partitions? If yes, mark your Windows partition as "Active".
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/mark-partition-active#1TC=windows-7
If the issue persists,Run CMD as Administrator, type following command：
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
Also, find the following location,and update the ownership of this directory to the Administrators group and granted Administrators Full Control to the directory.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys
Hope this helps.

Cannot find file I'm trying to input from

I created a small text file called "Trial.txt" and tried inputting from it, but always got a runtime error saying the file cannot be found. Here's the relative code, but I'm not sure how I can identify the file.
File inputFile = new File("Trial.txt");
FileReader in = new FileReader(inputFile);
StreamTokenizer LetterFilter = new StreamTokenizer(in);

Problem solved. ;) Thanks for everyone who was willing to help!

I cannot open files -- whether my own edited or from another source

Every time I go to open a file from the documents I edited in Photoshop Elements 10, this error message shows up:
What in the world is going on here? I also cannot open up PDF links -- another error message comes up. I originally started a similar discussion in the Photoshop Elements forum but was directed to the Acrobat forum because it seems this is more of an Acrobat issue. How can this be fixed? P.S. I did not try to attach this file in the image below to an e-mail or anything like that. I cannot open it in the documents files and can only open it in the Elements Organizer or Editor.

OK, if you are double clicking a psd file and Acrobat launches to open it, than your system Open With association has gotten mixed up.
The normal fix would be to Right click a PSD and from the shell options choose Open With...Don't select Photoshop yet,
From the next dialog, toggle to radio button Always Use The Selected Program... and select or Browse to Photoshop

No shop can officially unlock your iPhone. Only the cell carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize unlocking. Unless this shop is an authorized outlet for the cell carrier, the shop is scamming you.
If they are an authorized outlet for the carrier, contact the cell carrier's customer support, give them the appropriate case/order number for the unlock request, and get them to actually process the unlock. Then follow the carrier's instructions as to how long to wait. They may tell you that there will be an email, or they may just tell you to wait a certain amount of time. Then this will be the procedure:

Itunes 7 + Win XP Pro (Recover from a serious error0

Everytime i turn on my PC I get this window telling me that windows has recovered from a serious error. The last blue screen I got was almost a week ago. I have done system retore to pre iTunes 7 and i continue to get this error. iTunes 7 is the only recent change to my computer(which is almost 5 yrs old) Is it my computer, Windows, or iTunes??

i wish I had time to do that except by the time i reformat, and restore all my files that will kill a whole afternoon. I plan on buying an imac when leopard comes out, considering that itunes , office and IE are all i use this computer for hopefully it can survive til spring (knock on wood) Thanks

When I am using Hotmail thru Firefox, I cannot add files or emoticons or anything else from it. Just can type and send mails. How can I fix it? tks

I believe my question is clear.

The Yahoo! Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to invisibly extend downward over the top of the web page display area. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.
