1. Try to disable the AV program and test connection. It may have been configured aggressively or exceptions are not set correctly. (I prefere MS Security Essentials. We have no problems with MSSE) 2. You have done too many steps to discover, wher the problem occured. Does the W7 worked correctly before installing software? 3. If the problem is starting from the very beginning of system configuration and W7 attempts to reach shared directory unsuccessfully, then try to force lower version of SMB to W7. http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2008/05/30/two-minute-drill-overview-of-smb-2-0.aspx

Hi, The issue seems to be UAC related. Have you tried disabling UAC temporarily to test? MartinIf you find my information useful, please rate it. :-)

Hello, Is that a share? If yes, make sure that you added the right NTFS and Share permissions. Also, disable all security softwares that you have and try again.
