| 820477 | 2009-10-14 09:06:00 | Is it normal for it to hang, if one of the computers you've added to it, has been turned off? I thought the prob was the card reader, so I removed the entries to the slots (with a reg hack). It still hung, then I removed the shortcut to the PC (thats now turned off). Sure enough it hung. So, anyone have any idea, on how to fix it (so I can leave the shortcut there)? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 820478 | 2009-10-14 10:29:00 | mine only hangs if theres an external device connected. the hang will be waiting for a response | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 820479 | 2009-10-14 10:42:00 | Well obviously it'll be waiting a long time, since the computer is off lol | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 820480 | 2009-10-14 10:45:00 | oh so its hanging forever? How did you add a computer to the send to anyway? Sounds useful | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 820481 | 2009-10-14 10:59:00 | Go to run type sendto. (without the .). You have to add yourself as the owner (of the sendto folder) to get in the folder first. (In Vista that is, or else it'll bring up a denied access message). Then create a new shortcut (like you would for any other shortcut). Except you select network, and then select the shared folder on the networked PC. You can do the same thing in XP. Altho, I cant remember it hanging in XP No it doesnt hang forever, but computer in Vista stops responding for umm maybe 4-5 secs.. Then you have to select whatever files again, then select sendto -> the networked PC / folder. Then it'll work. It just saves me copying and pasting into the networked folder. Or bringing the networked folder up in network (in Vista), and going there manually I also killed UAC, it got annoying. After I found out programs like Foxit (the update option), would give me an access denied error, when I went to update it. Killing UAC fixed it. |

| 820482 | 2009-10-14 11:10:00 | Hey thats pretty cool, works fine for me and doesnt hang. Thats win7 though | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 820483 | 2009-10-14 11:12:00 | But is the computer you put under sendto on or off? There's a diff, it'll work if its on. Turn it off, and see what happens | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 820484 | 2009-10-14 11:13:00 | I tried both, still seems fine either way. UAC off as well | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
| 820485 | 2009-10-14 11:14:00 | Oh well, maybe MS did something properly then :p | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 820486 | 2009-10-14 11:17:00 | haha yeah itd be a first, its kinda frustrating that i cant really find anything wrong with win7, its got everything that previous windows has but everything....works! | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
