Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

I have tried some solutions that a Google search offered but none them helped or worked.

Just before I lose it completely and re-install Win7 out of spite, does anyone have any other ideas? :(

Thanks.

start up in safe mode (keep pressing F8 during start up) and then try removing it

Not really the best solution but yes. I'm considering a NAS :)

have you tried uninstalling the nic and reinstalling it it may ask you to join a group just skip it. Often when you do this it creates hidden lans so the original one is lan 1 the new one is lan 2 and therefore tries to create a new group

make sure you have driver disc or new drivers just in case but it should just find it

I haven't but it didn't the first time :)

Re: Can't remove computer from Homegroup - Getting seriously pi.... annoyed
 

there is a difference between disabling and uninstalling though

No, I mean when I first installed the NIC driver after installing Win7.
