Thanks for the link to the microsoft article. I was thinking and it accured to me that if I downloaded the same programs that I couldn't uninstall and then try to uninstall them it might work and it did.

I got my home network problem sorted out. I did a system restore, but I had to go pretty far back. Now I have a different problem although it isn't effectiong anything. I have programs listed in the add/remove programs that are no longer installed. How do I remove these from the add/remove list?

I don't know which sharing tab you are referring to, the one on the folder? I do have sp2 and file and printer sharing is in the exceptions

There is a new development. I checked the objets that are shared and there is only computer 1 enteries listed, not computer 2. Now I have a different problem, I can't add users from computer 2 and the inheirit from parent thing is checked and not hightlighted so I can't uncheck it . Also there is one folder that I can't access from the same computer that's sharing it I get a access denied screen

Ichecked my firewall, the only firewall I have is the one that comes with XP, and there is no option for file and printer sharing that I can see. I did select file and printer sharing when I ran the network wizard. I also can't connect to computer 1 via the remote desktop, so I can't connect in any way

I don't understand how a network functions. Does 1 comuter have to be a sever? How would I set them peer to peer ? The computers are connected through a D-LINK 4 port router I deleted all of my shared folders and started over. I ran the network wizard on both computers and I selected to share files and printers I also have simple file sharing off. Everything remains the same , I try to connect to computer 1 and I am stopped at the logon screen

O.K. I turned simple file sharing on, on both computers and I turned the guest account on , on both computers. Now when I try to connect to either computer I get an error message " The user has not been granted the requested log on type"

I have a 2 computer home network. I can see both in network places. I can connect to 2 from 1 but when I try to connect to 1 from 2 a log on screen pops up, when I input my username and password and hit enter the log on screen re- appears with the user name changed to include the computer name : computername\username. I tried to create an account with that name , but it won't let me make any account name with \ in it Help please

I have a 2 computer home network. Both computers have XP PRO. I can see both computers on network places from both computers. I can connect to 2 from 1, but when I try to connect to 1 from 2 a log on screen pops up, when I input my user name and password and hit enter the log on screen re-appears with the user name changed to include the computer name : computername\username I tried to make an account with that name but it won't accept a name with \ in it. Help please
