I have a new Dell running on Vista and an old AthlonAMD running on XP set up on a network. Everything was working fine, but now my Dell cannot access files on my AMD. It recognizes it in the Network workgroup but if I try to access it I get this error message: "windows cannot access \\computer name" "error code: 0x80070005 access denied". When I click diagnose, Vista does not find any problems with the network and I believe the spelling of the AMD computer's name is correct I have file sharing set on for both computers. What do I do to fix this? Like I said everything was working fine initially.
