There are two computers involved, a laptop with Windows ME (Hopefully I will upgrade to WIndows 2000) and a desktop unit that was recently upgraded from Windows 98 to 2000 pro. The two computers share an internet connection through a cable modem and a wireless ethernet access point/router, but the desktop unit is wired to the router. A printer is connected to the desktop unit.
1. printer networking - Before I upgraded the desktop unit, I could print from the laptop, but afterwards, every time I tried to do so, a dialog box popped up on the laptop asking for a password. A password was never created to my knowledge, and none of the passwords I used for other things on either computer work. I also can't find anything on either computer that would allow me to require a password. After doing everything I could think of to allow free access to the printer, a dialog box comes up that says: "The was an error writing to \\computername\EpsonSty for printer (Epson Stylus Color 74 (Copy 3)). The access code is invalid. The printer will be set to work offline." Does anyone know where this password could have come from, or how to work around it? I should also note that I can print from the desktop computer without a problem.
2. Microsoft Outlook - We used Outlook for one of our email accounts on the desktop unit. After the system upgrade, Outlook asks for a password for the .pst file that apparently governs the mailboxes associated with that email address. Again this is something that was never specified on our end to our knowledge. I would like to avoid spending the $30+ on password recovery, but downloaded a demo version of software that gave the first two digits of the pasword. They were two random letters that wouldn't have been used by either of us. Does anyone know any way around this? It isn't really important that we use Outlook for email, but we'd really like to get access to the old emails. Any ideas?
