Homegroup issue
I currently installed Windows 7 on my laptop and loved it.I wanted to installit on my desktop soI could use homegroup to sinc documents videos and settings. Well after installing it on my desktop and setting up the homegroup i found i had a major issue withmy hard drive. I took the hard drive out and reinstalled windows 7 on a different HD. I left the homegroup on my laptop and created a new one and tried joining it to my desktop....It says everything joined fine but when i click on the homegroup link nothing shows up.. it doesn't even open. Both my desktop and laptop are set up correctlyI do believe. Anyone else run into this issue?Software Distribution Developer

Also now that I reinstalled 7 my Windows Media Player freezes everytime it tries to load. I suppose it's looking for the old location of the files and just fails to load. I tried going into Windows Media Center and changing the Video and Music Libraries that it is pointing to but no dice, still freezes every time. This is a MAJOR downfall for me since i watch videos religiously. I really liked the concept of the new WMP but if i can't get this issue to go away i'm sticking with my VLC player....Software Distribution Developer
