Windows XP Home File and Printer sharing

[Guest]

Have 2 Windows XP Home Edition computers where file and printer sharing is
not working properly.
Both computers are fully patched all firewalls disabled.
1st computer can share files fine.
2nd computer was cleaned of all spyware/adware/malware and viruses.
when trying to share printer on computer 2 with computer 1 cannot find the
printer or see the shared files/folders.

Have run the network wizard on both computers. have checked settings again
and again with out any resolution. Have also ensured both computers have the
same user accounts setup with same passwords.

Is there any registry entries I can check and modify when it comes to the
offending computer?

Any help will be appreciated.

Help anyone? I will probably either do a repair or reinstall on Monday.
Unless that is someone offers a better solution.

Thanks
