Can't access network drives after using Tweaking
« on: December 13, 2014, 11:01:25 am »
We have 5 windows 7 computers in our house, and I ran the Tweaking.com All in one Repair Program on 3 of them.  After running this program, we are not able to access any of our Western Digital MyBook world drives through the network on any of those three computers.  We can use the Western Digital Link utility to map the network drives, so the connection is good, but I do not like to map drives because there are a couple of nasty viruses that attach themselves to Mapped Drives.   The other computers which have not been tweaked work fne with the network drives. 

Any ideas?

Did you check the firewall in Windows to make sure the file and printer sharing was enabled?

I went to the Control Panel then Network Sharing, advanced settings, disabled everything, and then re-enabled everything, including the sharing, and turning back on the network discovery.  None of this worked.  I am not near those computers right now, but when I get home, I will check the firewall settings and post if  anything different happens.

Ok, let me know how that goes.

If it still doesnt work I wouldnt mind connecting to you to see if I can trace down what the problem is and what the trigger was that caused it. If I can find that info I can update which ever repair had the problem :-)

Wow, that sounds great Shane.  I work the night shift, and mornings would be best for me.  Are you available on Saturday Mornings?  If you have access to my e-mail account through my account information, send me a note on how we can do this.

I love the program, and would love to use it again  once I know how to work around this.

I take the weekends off to spend time with my wife and 5 kids. So we need to do it during the normal work week.

Send me an email and we can just play it by ear :-)
