can't copy ocx files between winxp and win7 machines

I added the user accounts from windows 10 to my windows xp workgroup. When I first set up the network, I could connect from the Xp machine to both 10 machines and vice-versa, but I could only connect from the windows 10 machines in one directionĨ. The windows 10 machines are connected to the network via wi-fi the windows Xp machine is connected via ethernet cable.ħ. If I re-boot the windows 10 machine it will show as available and connects automatically.Ħ. When connecting to windows 10 computer b (Lenovo laptop), it connects automatically when it's visible but it's sometimes shown as 'unknown'. Even when it's visible however, it won't always connect.ĥ. When connecting to windows 10 computer a (Toshiba laptop) from Windows Xp via 'My Network Places', it requests my Microsoft Account login. I can ping all computers from each other.Ĥ.

All the necessary files (and printer) on the Windows Xp machine are shared.ģ. File sharing and network discovery are turned on on both Windows 10 machines. No Windows 7 involved: I got to that page via a search.Ģ.

Are you getting prompted for a password but it doesn't take it?ġ.

Are you able to ping one computer from the other?.

The above works for me on a weekly basis and I even created a batch file to automate some of the. On another machine I had to register Crystl32.ocx from the root directory but I believe that was a path issue.

Is file sharing and network discovery turned on at both ends? If unsure, open the 'Network' folder (on the left side of file explorer) and it will prompt you if not. These files normally have to do with exporting to a PDF but when completed the registration, I was then able to register Crystl32.ocx.

Not worth the bother of hooking this up for one or two files, so I continue to use a USB flash drive in those cases. Easy Suite windows come up in each machine and I can easily transfer files between them multiple files and whole folders transfer OK. Is there any Windows 7 in the mix at all? One end of the connection is a desktop with WinXP (SP3) and the other is a laptop running Win7. Your subject line says you are using XP and 10, but you filed your question under 'Windows 7'.
