I am about to delete Vista and install XP on a brand new laptop. I so
totally regret having Vista instead of XP installed on it. My fault, I
should have known better, I've been forcing myself to use Vista on one
important desktop productivity machine for several months and it is not
easy.
Every network and drive setting is exactly the same, including all the
arcane subsettings, on my two Vista computers, one a desktop and one a
laptop.
The laptop can access the C drive of the desktop and do what it needs to do
but the desktop is denied access to the C drive of the laptop.
I have deleted all the laptop network and sharing settings, rebooted, reset
them, but the problem persists.
The bizarre thing, this being Vista the bizarre should be expected, all
sharing settings worked fine yesterday but when the laptop was rebooted
today I encounter the above.
Vista networking has been an inconsistent nightmare from the get-go. XP is
far more reliable and Apple computers have no such problems at all for peer
to peer users.
I absolutely have to share all the data on these two machines and if the
problem cannot be resolved I will delete Vista from one or both---this kind
of garbage is not worth it.
What is wrong with Microsoft? Don't they get why Intel and most large
corporations will not touch Vista but end users have it crammed down their
throats and Microsoft calls Vista a sales success.
