Original title; Msconfig nor regedit answer

After a new clean install, I tried to use msconfig or regedit in the search box, I get no response. I know that msconfig is in the system 32 folder, and it's there. I tried to use has been suggested by Mr. Fixit who doesn't work anymore. What else is there to try?

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista, Intel Wifi card is installed and activated, but does not detect the network.

    Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista

    I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.

    I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.

    I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.

    I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.

    In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.

    Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

    Hello

    The on/off switch actually works?

    Since it is an internal adapter to ensure it is enabled in the settings of configuration/F2 (BIOS/CMOS) often like you
    Start - so look at the screen.

    Have you tried the computer on other WiFi networks? You had a WiFi type problem before the
    Re-install of Vista?

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your router could be suspicious here, you have successfully updated its firmware as a possible solution? And I would like to
    Update your WiFi drivers on computers. How you are positioned in the router? Are there
    obstacles in the path?

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The
    manufacturer of system become your backup policies).

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8820. I recently did a clean install of Windows 7. I loaded the value Toshiba driver pack and the trackpad driver but still cannot get the trackpad or press FN to work.

    I think that the forum already contains hundreds of discussions about this so why you n t use the forum search?

    Anyway, you need the latest version of Toshiba Value added Package and utility Support Flash Cards.
    Try to also restart Toshiba Flash Cards (start > all programs > Toshiba) and repeatedly press the FN keys.

  • After a clean install of Windows 8, I can't get three monitors to work

    I did a clean install of Windows 8 pro.  I have a Dell T1500 with over-pants V4800 graphics.  This machine previously had Windows 7 installed and works with the ATI driver.  With Windows 7, the three monitors worked without problem.  Now, with Windows 8 installed I can't get two monitors to work.  I use the more updated driver for Windows 8 for the map on the website of AMD.  The third monitor can be seen on the page of the screen resolution, but I cannot "extend desktop...". "the third arch.  When I try to do so it gives me a message saying

    "The display settings could not be saved.  Please try another combination of display settings. »

    All three monitors are the same, Dell P2210.  I tried different resolutions. I tried the driver I was using on Windows 7, I uninstalled the driver and adapter repeatedly.  I installed all the drivers from AMD with the extras (hydravision, etc.).  I used just the default Windows drivers. I have change the placement of the monitors on the video card, but few matter where I plug them in, only two works.  All monitors are operational.  I even tried different monitors.  All this with no result.  I tried to use the Catalyst Control Center.  He sees the third monitor but just shows it as being disabled with no way to enable that I see from in the Catalyst Control Center.

    It is the last obstacle for me to fully use this machine to Windows 8.  I'm puzzled.  I have read many other forums.  I've heard of this problem with Windows 7 as well so I don't know that it's specific to 8 but could very well be.  Yet once I had Windows 7 with three monitors with the same card.  Contribution to this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    I had this problem on a Lenovo three installation of the monitor using the integrated display laptop, a monitor outside the mini HDMI and a third follow out of the HDMI Port among Replicator.

    In the end, it's a simple solution.  When you go to display settings, all three monitors not reimbursed up to 1920 x 1080 and configuration could never be saved - however the 3rd monitor only supported by 1680 x 1050, which is the resolution (recommended).  After changing the 3rd monitor for the resolution recommended, I was able to save the configuration to display > screen without problem resolution.

    I don't know why the resolution not supported has been set default to-after selecting the right pair, there is now no option to go to the highest resolution not supported on this screen.

  • No restore factory after a clean install of Windows 7

    Factory support key F11 RnR restores after a clean install of win7?

    I did a new install of win7 and installed a RnR last on my T410. When I tried F11 RnR, there is no option to restore with. My SYSTEM_DRV and Lenovo recovery xxxx exist and are suitable for all the files in them.

    I have recovery disks, but I just what to see if restore factory F11 works on this path.

    Fix. I had already understood what you were doing.

    I'll say it simple as I can:

    (1) installed at the factory

    The secret is windows 7 added windows re (recovery of win7 to the mix environment). Lenovo plant reorganizing this to factory support. This has created a hidden from the factory restore boot entry.

    (2) your installation "sideways", IE, cram lecteurC.

    This wax installation tips from lenovo. That is to say, no factory entry to move to the RNR standalone.

    (3) any property. do not delete anything. (such as SYSTEM_DRV).

    ==

    You have a dead now at the new disk space.  This works. Large.

    Use RNR and backup every week in a place (external). I know that it was not fun, but has been a learning experience.

    ==

    To clarify: (confusion)

    RNR is the main big daddy.  This is the main task is to rescue by using a backup RNR. Recovery (factory) is a subset, not exactly. This just transfers control to another entry for starting a recovery plant stuff. Thus, Rescue and Recovery.  I answer all the time about it. Yes, they look different, they are.

  • After a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium, how long will it take to run updates and it will take a lot of bandwidth?

    updates after clean install of Vista Home premium

    I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop two year old, which will require a clean install of Vista Home Edition full.  I live in a remote with the satellite internet service.  I would like to know in advance what will happen after the installation with the updates of the program.  I will ask you to install them? It would take a lot of bandwidth?

    Hi EllenCB,

    Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.

    Once you make a clean installation on your hard drive is erased. Now, when you install the operating system return updates that have been deleted will be delivered by Windows update to install on your computer. To save time and bandwidth, you can directly install Service pack 1 and Service pack 2 for Vista which would contain more updates. Of course when you run Windows update and when you try to download from the internet, your download speed will decrease. It is best to keep your system up to date which will allow your version of Windows to run better.

    Before installing the update, run the checksur tool, this tool is running an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. Download the tool from the link below.

  • Firefox crashes even after a clean install of Windows

    Hey!

    My Firefox keeps crashing. It starts up ok, but still crashes shortly after. I do not see a pattern in accidents, it seems random. Strange thing is that I had this problem before with Win7 and now he persists after installation clean full of Win10. The two hard drives formatted, no old files or anything left... It crashes in safe mode, too. On Win7, I could get locked out of the browser. Sometimes he would start crashing whenever I started the browser. A reboot has allowed me to once again successfully launch Firefox, but it would soon break without worrying. He crashed on the clean install of Firefox and crashed after that I installed Adobe Flash.

    The crash began perhaps a few days previously, I think not that a lot of it initially. Now, however, it drives me nuts; It is basically impossible to navigate. Firefox browser my go-to for years and I would rather go to another.

    Here are a few crash reports: 4b05df7c-24d3-49e3-a13f-c9d57aca3cf0 bp-775561fc-4d6c-48a5-8c6b-e3af42161108 43d377a7-ea92-4c37-b717-84a562cd2d36 bp-09b21c04-8640-44ed-a261-a98f12161108 bp-9726e46d-d041-4fba-b905-f92682161108 fb6d8a28-79c6-4cab-b4c1-096778ca49e8

    You will appreciate all help to the problem.

    Seems that the problem is solved by itself. Not a single accident today. I don't have any idea of that which could have fixed, or what caused it in the first place. Curious, but no matter, I'm a happy camper now. I wish all support forums it was effective.

  • After a clean install of Windows 7, I can't connect to the wireless network and more problems...

    I recently did a clean install of genuine copy of Windows 7 Home Premium to clear unwanted programs all on my computer. Because the product key are disabled unexpectedly.

    The installation works fine, but after the installation. I can't connect to a wireless network, because there is no network adapter installed on the computer.

    Also, I can't set my screen resolution of 1366 x 768. Before any new install, the screen resolution sets to 1366 x 768 as native and recommended screen resolution. Now, I'm stuck at the screen resolution 1024 x 768. I need to change the graphics card so my laptop screen can support 1366 x 768? If necessary, please give me instructions on how to do this.
