  • I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista. I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network.

    original title: Wireless on the Fritz

    I have problems wireless on my Acer laptop which has Windows Vista.  I am able to connect to my school of university network and used to connect to my home network (both are networks limited requiring a password or log in).  However, last week my computer stopped connecting to my home network (no one else has this problem with the home network).  I tried to fix the problem, but my computer says that "Wireless association failed because Windows did not receive response from the access point or wireless router."  That said also thatthe connection "(my wireless network)" has been cancelled.  This is perhaps due to a timeout or user action. »

    The only different thing I did last week was click option at my University 'connect long-term' instead of 'connect short term' to their wireless network.  Maybe who has messed up my settings?  That's what my University said of his record long term: "students, faculty and staff also have an option to easily record their computer (or other wireless devices), so that it is not necessary to authenticate each day they connect from the network wireless campus, to resources outside the University.»  However, these settings are saved on their network (I can access it online from another computer), so I think it is unlikely that he messed up my settings.

    I don't really know what the problem is.  Any ideas as to what I can do?  I don't want to reset my computer everything.

    Thank you!

  • How can I replace a color with a pattern fill?

    Hi everyone, thanks for all the answers in advance!

    I've created quite a detailed design that works with 4 pixels per cm and 16 colors, canvas size 120x170cm. I'm wanting to replace all one color with a pattern, is there a way to do this?

    Can I replace a color with another flat color using the settings etc. but I want to meet all of an area of color with a pattern instead. The only way I can think to do would be to use the magic wand tool to select each pixel of the same color, then create a new layer and overlay with a filling of the desired design, however the design is so detailed, it would take me a terrible long to select each color!

    Can someone suggest a faster way of efficiant more to do?

    Thank you!

  • Can I replace Windows XP SATA drive in HP Compaq dc7600sff with old computer win98se IDE hard drive

    I have a Compaq dc7600 I want to use to replace an old computer that I recovered the drive on.

    The 7600 has a 80g ATA drive running Windows XP, but I want to remove it and get the older one with win98se and I need that I can't replace programs. I can adapt physically OK, bios hardware lists change, but does not start win98

    Hi Paul

    I changed the SATA emulation settings combined and it worked well, but as you say, I had a hard time looking for drivers, but I found some that I couldn't find (for example sound/display) I adapted the old PCI cards, I had and this all works very well. It will certainly do the job I want.

    Thanks for the reply and the solution

  • can I put windows 7 on a laptop that was given to me?

    They gave me a laptop, I can put my Windows 7 top?   I have a drive to restore a desktop computer that is dead?  Both Dell Inspiron computers.

    You cannot transfer an OEM of Windows from one computer to the other version.  When the original computer dies, the license dies with her.  You can purchase a license upgrade for the laptop that you has been provided and update in this way, assuming he has XP or Vista on it now.

    Good luck.
