    I have 4 computers accessing my HP Mediasmart 495.  the 3 xp computers work fine.  The Win 7 64bit computerinstalls the connector fine, and the backup works successfully.  I see the home server in explorer/network under Media Device and Other Devices.   I can even see the shared media files through TwonkMedia.

    However, I cannot browse the home server shared folders.  When I double click the Home Server icon under Other Devices, it sends me to the web page for installing the connector again (I tried reinstalling the connector - same result.)

    So, how do I get to the home server files from Win 7/64b?

    Thanks,

    Try using the Shared Folders on Server icon on your desktop instead.

    Just so it is clear, Win7 64 bit is working fine for me.  I made sure the server had installed all updates, and then I installed from my home server Software share.  I didn't have any problems.
