Cannot locate the network after reinstalling Vista

I just had to reinstall vista (based on the recommendation of the forum do how can I install/uninstall anything one way). Now I can't connect to the internet, or my network. I have a laptop Dell Inspiron 1525.

It seems that I reinstalled the network adapter - at least when I started there was no category "network adapters" in the Device Manager, and now he has one with Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller under it.

Thanks to a different compurter I downloaded the thing Dell told me to download when I typed in my Service tag.

Also, I downloaded and installed the service packs 1 and 2 since for Vista, since I knew that they were on my orginal OS.

In looking at the network and sharing Center, it seems that network discovery is turned off.  I tried to turn it on, but nothing happens.

Any ideas on what to try next?

In addition, I don't know if it's relevant or not, but when I reinstalled my OS, I thought everything would be gone, but the memory is always at the same level as it was before resettlement.

Much obliged,

Gregg

Hello

Did you follow the directions of Dell to reinstall Vista?

You do not say if yoyu used their disks or you have used the recovery Partition to do.

Here are two ways for you to read and see if it's what you were doing.

Using the Dell recovery partition:

  • Satellite P200 - 14 H - problem with the software after reinstalling Vista whindows

    I have a Satellite P200 - 14 H, who bought systems Activ of Romania. I got a Toshiba DVD with an image pre-configured Windows and my driver's license windows vista Home premium. After several blue screens windows crashed after 5 days. It was a software problem. I am a network administrator and I need several virtual machines Linux vmware server Windows.

    The DVD provided with the laptop is not really suited to my needs to reinstall windows because it throws my entire hard drive and is not an option. I took a friend a DVD windows vista Home premium and using my key from the sticker on the back of my laptop I reinstalled win without deleting all of the hard drive but only the partition c. I downloaded all the drivers of your site even if I found them really hard (model PSPB6E because that model PSPB6E I don't find it anywhere) everything is good except that "Flash Cards Support Utility" and «» Hardware Setup' give me the following error: "serial number is invalid '. I don't know what to do to be able to use the function keys I knew which are installed by 'Flash Cards Support utility'.

    If it is not good that I did give me another solution that does not need to wipe entire HARD drive, but only the C drive and use the DVD that you have provided or give me access to some place to be able to download all the drivers and software that can be found on the original DVD (those above and to burn DVD and Norton internet security center and so on)

    Thank you very much and please be so kind to give me a solution quickly because I really need this computer and I am unable to use it.

    Hi Adrian

    I'll try to clarify a few things;
    First the drivers for Satellite P200 - 14 H PSPB6E series are placed on the page of Toshiba Europe and it of really not difficult to find.
    Secondly the Vista serial key, which is located on the bottom of the unit cannot be used with another copy of Vista OS! This will not work!

    You have installed the operating system Vista from the CD to friends, but you used a serial key that does not match with the Vista on CD to friends! As a result, you get the message error "serial number is invalid!"
    The utility of Flash cards is required to use the keys FN under Win Vista. It visually shows the use of the FN button.

    I would recommend another way of installation
    First, you must use the DCD from Toshiba recovery. Back up your data first!
    Then after installing the OS, create a new partition and install your favorite OS (Linux, XP, etc.)

    If you n t to use the Toshiba recovery but CD the original Microsoft CD Vista then you need to use the original series OS key that belongs to the MS Vista CD.

    Good bye

  • Cannot use the network after the first time backup volume machine

    Hello

    After the update to OS 10.11.4 my MACs are unable to use the network backup volume more.

    The volume of time machine is a device (RAID of LCM InXtron Taurus-S) external USB connected to a server of iMac (also running OS 10.11.4). Four MACs use this device as a backup time volume machine (all systems 10.11.4).

    What I've done so far has been clear the volume (twice) and rename with different names than in the past. Than I started the new backups for all of my MACs. The fist backup works fine for all machines. After it says, that the first backup is over, and he tries to perform the second backup an hour later, it is said that the volume does not support the necessary functions of AFP.

    I am still able to connect to the volume via afp: / /... If the finder (go to). As long as I use the volume for a single machine works. If I announce a backup from another machine, it evokes this error.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks in advance.

  • Cannot locate the files after 'Move' Lightroom 4.1

    During the import specifically 'Moving' a selection of photos of a place on the drive internal to another location on the internal disk, after that I scored the photos with keywords, Lightroom crashed.

    Now when I go to the previous import pictures are not found. Don't have files to the location to make me move. When I do a search for images with the keywords that I have these images with the tag, I can't locate. I don't see them in the trash either.

    Now, I don't know where are these images. It's very bad. I think I'll use the Finder to move the images first, then "Add" in Lightroom afterwards. It's a good thing I paid attention when I did the import.

    Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Peter,

    FWIW, I wouldn't trust function Move Lr for anything other than a few tens of files in the same drive. If I need to move files from one disk to another, I will always use Finder because the originals are not deleted when a standard shift is done, but moves in Lr means that the originals are removed when the move is completed. The problem with this is that you are blind to what actually happened. If a problem, it is usually too late to do something.

  • Cannot install network printer on Windows 7. Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver. All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions? How can I fix it?

    Cannot install network printer on Windows 7.  Detects the printer then it says cannot locate the driver.  All my vista and XP machines have no problem finding drivers. It is a 32-bit 64-bit vs questions?  How can I fix it?
    Windows Server 2008 network.  Printers have ip addresses. Install the drivers from the Print Manager.  /Terminal Server Workgroup installation.

    It's the same situation with XP.  The print driver names must match.  If you notice the name of the printer driver that uses XP is a name different from the one that is installed when you plug in the device on the Windows 7 computer.  This is just my assumption, please correct me if this isn't the case.

    The real solution is to install a 32-bit driver on the XP machine that uses the same name that the 64-bit driver and share a printer using this driver or find a 64-bit driver that uses the same name as the 32-bit driver installed on XP and install the driver on XP.

    can anyone help? After reinstalling vista and by then setting automatic updates, I find after the download and installation of updates that I "lost" more than 10 GB on my drive hard, why is that?

    Updates must be stored somewhere, and installed somewhere 10 GIG is in the normal range.  Did you do a disk cleanup?

    have you saved or set a restore point?  It has been a decade since I used Vista, but I think that any time you install something made Vista a restore point.

  • HP DV7-3063cl laptop PC: BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the new motherboard more PXE - E61: Media test failure, check

    I have recently restored a HP DV7 3063 cl laptop that died a hot mother (MB). I replaced the MB with a new Board of Directors of HP when the price has been reduced to $100, updated the CPU with an announced as new AMD 640 M and applied Arctic Silver on CPU and graphics chips. I put in 4 G memory cool, got the computer to work and installed Windows 10.

    However, I have several problems:

    1. The BIOS cannot locate the serial number of the motherboard during the boot process and sends a message to the effect. I hit the ENTER button start continues.

    I tried to access the BIOS to enter the serial number or other possible solutions, I found online. Help forum a HP had a BIOS software tool for editing of Compaq in 2000 but said it would only be on the desktop and HP staff will provide a BIOS for my laptop.

    2. I get two error messages that

      • PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable of

      • PXE - M0F: Exit PXE ROM

    I didn't know all the patches for this issue, but it only delays the process of starting shortly before it continues.

    Finally, the computer starts Windows, but other problems.

    mhscholder,

    There isn't any publicly available method to update information in the BIOS.  HP only authorized service providers can update the MB after installation.  You will get this message during boot every time.  You also won't be able to run a recovery since the recovery media is looking for this information.

    The PXE errors generally occur during the initialization of the network is listed in the boot order before the hard drive.
