Vista - Please help with file sharing

I know this has been beat to death. I've searched this forum and google and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

I have a new computer, Vista that I can't get file sharing to work. I have it turned on and can see the computer but when I try to access it I get the message I don't have permission etc. I did get print sharing working

The computer I'm using that I'm trying to access from also has Vista. It's the one with the router. I have a notebook on the network, xp, which I can access just fine.

The "new" computer I can see the other two computers and access their files

Any suggestions? It's really important that I get this working for school work.
I have everything checked correctly in the network card. I've turned off my firewall and disabled Kaspersky,,,what am I missing
Thanks

Hi Karen,

Try this link:

Thanks for the link, have already read and thought I done all the right things, but will read them again. My other computer is Vista and it works just fine
Thanks for your help and response

Let us know how it turns out

Waiting

Still no luck, I can see the computer, and I can see the files I have marked as shared but can't open them. I can open the public one.
I know I'm doing something wrong on the new computer but darn if I can figure it out. The hand is there on the folders showing them shared,,,but if I go to show shared folders it's blank. In "Network" I have share folders checked. I'll try it again tomorrow
I keep going over and over the instructions, and usually pretty good at following them. What in the heck am I missing
Thanks again for your help,,,I hate Vista

I think you are not authorized for all the microsoft vista facility. so, ask all of this matter to microsoft and they provide online help or tool. When i have this issue i solve from one Semsim.com company. Because they provide online training, so they have solution. SemSim is internationally acclaimed Cisco CCNA exam router simulation software that helps aspiring candidates prepare for the Cisco Certified Network Associate certification exam. For more information about Cisco ccna and Ccna exam.

I went to the link you provided. Guess I'll just have to live with what I have. I don't have enough sense to use it
Thanks

Just a follow up on my above post. I went to the site suggested and they want money to help me
Thanks any way

is password protected sharing enabled? if it is, i advise you to disable it

Password sharing is turned off, and I don't have one on either computer.
I was fussed at for doing a quote wrong. Sorry but I'm not sure that I know what I did wrong. I won't quote again

Thanks
