[SOLVED] File sharing problems[MOVED FROM WINDOWS]

Tomween1 · 03-26-2009, 03:00 PM

Well I've attempted to get this resolved, but no luck w/ the support team. Support team informs me that my system is clear of any viruses. So I now go back to my still lingering problem, Dr Watson and file sharing. Dr Watson still pops up when trying to share a folder. It may help if I re word it as, Dr Watson won't let me create a shared file. Ex. an existing file on desktop, right click, select Sharing and Security. This is when Dr Watson pops up. I never had trouble sharing folders in the past. I haven't tried in several months, but after cleaning the system and removing several programs (suggested by sopport team) I still cannot share on my wireless network, from this computer.

Thanks, Tom

Riskyone thank you. I have been reading for several hours at this phenomenal site, however I don't find a whole lot regarding wireless home networking. Specifically with Dr Watson being involved. I will however continue to drudge through it and see what might arise.

Thanks for now, Tom
