Lan Not Working Windows 7

[Shantelle Wenske]

Ijust purchased a Logitech C920 webcam to use with an external monitor for my Windows 11 laptop. The video works great, but the microphone isn't working. Zoom detects the webcam microphone and will use it as its audio source, but the result is silent. This is true both using the Test Microphone function in Settings as well as in a meeting. The webcam microphone works fine with the Windows Sound Recorder app, so it's not a hardware issue. Any suggestions for how to make it work in Zoom?

I've seen a lot of issues with Windows 11 audio. Check out this Community post to see if that helps... if they don't work for you, please search here for "Windows 11 sound audio" or variations and see if you can find something specific to your setup.

Another thing I'd check is the "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"... mine is checked, and everything works fine, but if you have anything in the background that might be grabbing the mic, unchecking this might help:

i used to have a c920 and now have a logitech brio. both worked fine with win 11 and zoom. please check the microphone volume setting. i have mine set to automatically adjust microphone volume. please see attached screenshot.

I have a Windows 7 computer that has Acrobat XI installed, this was the original installation of this license, shortly after launching XI, the cursur spins and the "Acrobat has stopped working", I have tried a normal uninstall (control panel) and also an Adobe removal tool, then reninstalled, with the same results, in the community forum I found entries from a couple years ago about deleting some files that get re-created when you run the software, which seems to happpen, but the same failure.

So I've been working on this for hours, several un/re installs, renaming and deleteing files. While typing my earlier post, an Acrobat update popped up in my tray, after finishing the post, I allowed the udate to run, rebooted and now it appears my Acrobat XI is working fine. It would be nice if somebdy could explain that to me, but glad it's working and I can move on.

Thanks for the information, you would think that information would be readily available either through Adobe or just a Internet search, it was very frustrating trying to get information, maybe the next guy will find your post before a melt down.

Windows 7 too? Interesting. It also stopped working in Windows 10. Maybe Microsoft changed both of them to drive out old apps. Anyway, people seem to report that if you applied the latest (4 year old) patch to Acrobat XI, it fixed whatevertheproblemwas.

My solution was to uninstall LibreOffice, then to delete all folders with any reference to LO, including AppData, then cleaned the registry, then re-booted and only THEN re-installed. Seems to be working fine now.

I had the same problem - I think Windows 10 had updated itself and Libre would not open. I gave in and just downloaded the latest Libre office and after a few minutes all was up and running as smoothly as ever.

After updating to Windows 11 (update kb5034123, linked here), ctrl + w no longer did anything. It did not matter what application I was using; it simply would not do anything. The W and ctrl keys still worked individually. I uninstalled the update, and everything was working as it should again.

I woke up to this issue today as well after allowing my computer to install this update and reboot overnight. I tried uninstalling the update but that did not work initially. However, I noticed that it started happening right after Samsung Magician started. So, I killed that process, and ctrl+w started working again! Weird. The hotkey continues to work after starting Samsung Magician again too. I'll prevent it that app from starting and see if the hotkey stops functioning next time I reboot.

A number is more useful than "the latest". (It may not be by the time people read this.) There can also be newer versions, or "hot fixes", that do not show up if you check for new firmware in the browser interface.

I suggest searching the community help for "SMB1" if you wish to learn about the issue. I'm simply asking whether support for another user would be a faster/easier way to work around the problem. i.e. it seems the complexities in the SMB1 fix is taking years to address, while adding support for an additional user could be done relatively quickly.

There is NO SMB1 fix, not from NG, and MS has already made its fix as far as security goes. SMB 1 is old, uses NETBIOS and Computer Browser. MS has depricated SMB 1 and along with that the Computer Browser. NG aleardy has many routers (you didn't specify what router you have by the way) running SMB 2 and 3. What NG has to do is enable and use the WSD protocol for sharing, and they have NO PLANS to do that.

Not even sure what you are asking for? Additional User? I suspect you mean another set of SSID's? Why would that be 'simple' and provide any protection? How will that solve anything or have anything to do with SMB 1 needed for sharing?

most of this whole struggle has boiled down to simple errors like that. getting too caught up with settings, etc. when it was stuff like cable connections, basic rebootings and a bad usb that seemed to be most of the problem....

My understanding is that insecure guest logins have been disabled; see link. As an admin, I have no issue accessing the share. However, my users are unable to access the share as a guest. Since "admin"/password works but "guest" (with no password) appear to be an issue, I'm simply suggesting support for an alternate user account with a password; e.g. "user"/password. This "user " account would simply provide access to the share as "guest" did in the past; it would not allow allow the user to log into the router.

My R8000 is not active right now, but the GUEST SSID has the capability to be isolated from YOUR LAN. There is a ALLOW setting if I'm remembering correctly you have to check. In that case, Guests will have COMPLETE access to everything the NORMAL (your word is ADMIN it seems) can access, all SHARES on ANY device as well as the USB drive on the router.

I'm talking about ethernet access over the LAN to readyshare on the router; no SSID involved. When a user attempts to mount the \\readyshare\folder, Windows prompts for username/password. Entering admin/password works; entering guest with no password does not.

When I mount the drive as "admin", I provide the admin password assigned to the router. Thus, if the router also supported a "user" account, then the users could mount the drive as "user" and provide the user password assigned to the router.

I've got my USB drive set up with TWO shares. The share for the ROOT of the drive with is P/W protected but has access to the entire drive. In that drive I have a folder on the root called SHARE and a sub-folder in it called VIDEO which contains many sub-folders of ripped DVD's, that \SHARE\VIDEO is NOT P/W protected. So I now have 2 sharenames for the USB drive, \\R8000 which is the root (192.168.1.1) and \\R8000\SHARE.

Now on my PC only is a Credentiai for the Router (192.168.1.1) that contains the UID and P/W for the router \\R8000 share. My PC has complete access to the drive, however, other PC's and devices don't as they don't know the UID and PW. Now I'm using DLNA Server on the router and therefore the \\R8000\SHARE since it has NO CREDENTIALS needed can be used by the SmartTV's to show the DVD's as can a DLNA Client on the PC's, Phones, and iPad's. I think you might have been asking how to do that (Read the Manual as well).

1) If the guest account was replaced with a "user" account that has a password, then users could access shares by entering the credentials (and SMB1 would no longer be the issue; just as SMB1 does not seem to be an issue with admin/pw).

Bottom line, 2 types of USB accounts, one with a p/w and the other with none. The one with the p/w you can set to be the entire drive and read/write access to it. Others, by share name you can assign with no p/w to specific folders (or sub-folders) on the drive. So you have have \\drivename\pictures, \\drivename\movies, \\drivename\games, \\drivename\programs, etc., but there would be no restriction to access.

If all you want it an FTP style, then use FTP for the USB drive. You never mentioned your Router, so find the MANUAL in SUPPORT above and read it how to set up FTP. The implementation though is just like normal sharing. That is only 2 types, protected by p/w or not. I guess you could create as many different protected shares as you wanted, but only tell the one you want to use a specific share the share name and p/w. Of course, that might be totally useless as they would ALL have the same p/w (see, even to implement your 'suggestion' one might need X users, not just one, depending on how many different 'people' you wanted to support) and anyone with some level of knowledge how to see shares (like use Windows Explorer) could see all of them and by 'luck' try the same p/w and get in.
