AskWoody LoungerAugust 20, 2015 at 10:29 am in reply to: Connect new desktop to existing Win7 wireless network #1524148Quickly, I found if I turn off all computers on network, restart one and set up homegroup with password, then restart others one by one they all acknowledge the homegroup and I signed right in on each one with the password. Good luck.

AskWoody LoungerI too struggled for days and days with countless failures. For some reason I checked for a Bios update, found one, installed it and bam, the next Win10 update worked. Why MS didn’t catch it when it assessed my system is unknown. I had the C0900101-30018 error. Best of luck.

AskWoody LoungerFor the sake of your kids I hope you are right, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.
cheers, Paul
Paul, they are going to be so many trillions in debt, the weather won’t matter much. I installed Ant and it was just what I was looking for to download video with.

AskWoody LoungerI have had great luck with Dashlane. On my android phone and windows laptop and desktop. All work well, not synced since I did not buy premium service. You can export/import from/to different devices.
