Capacity wireless suddenly stopped working after an update of Windows Vista.

Feature WiFi suddenly stopped working after a windows vista updated.  Wireless switch is engaged, but stays yellow that messeges troubleshooting all say computer does not detect wireless devices.  It's as if someone pulled the unit and the antenna of the portable computer.  I also downloaded the wireless drivers and Setup several times without success.  Wireless device appears in the Device Manager page.  The only thing that is showing and work is the cable which is how I can download the drivers and appear on this forum.  Is it possible that the wireless device is broken?  All applicable lights are lit on the networking modem, no signal is detected on the computer, I have concluded that the wireless on the laptop is just inop.  Either way, I have a Compaq Presario F700 laptop.  All the options out there?  Thank you

original title: can't find the wireless device

Hello again, Kathy,

More specific instruction, I can give to check settings in the BIOS of your system is to search for a list of devices that installed your laptop. There are only two options for each device, activate them and deactivate them.
Look for something listed as network radio or wireless card and make sure that it is set to enable.
The option that you network adapter found can also control the wireless adapter, but it can control only the plug adapter (Ethernet) network.
A simpler solution, if you have not already tried it it is the system restore in Windows as mentioned by Kiran in a previous answer:
WARNING: Changing the BIOS / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can resolved e. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  • Dell Vostro 1510 Audio has stopped working after the update of Windows Vista.

    Nice day!

    My computer (vostro 1510) began to revolt recently and I wonder if you could help me with this.

    Basically, last week I was talking to my friend on Skype when suddenly my computer restarted due to the update of Windows (I have Windows Vista Business 32-bit). After he turned his back, I realized that there is no audio from the speakers. I tried using headphones but still - no sound.

    Immediately, I went to the 'Sounds' menu and checked if my speakers were still 'active '. They have been.
    Next thing I decided to do was to reinstall the Realtek audio driver, however, did not help or the other. Since then, I tried to reinstall several times but, unfortunately, everything remained the same.

    Then, I thought that maybe something was wrong with my hardware, however, audio spent ALL Dell diagnostics audio tests (so my hardware is very good, yes?). I also tried "System Restore" option and returned to the point before the update... Nothing has changed!

    In addition, as far as I know, all the audio settings in Windows (checked in Registry Editor) are OK.

    What should I do now? My last hope is to completely reinstall the system, however, I decided to contact you first.

    Thanks in advance!

    Solved the problem by reinstalling the operating system.

    Thank you!

    Toshiba Satellite L402, WXP

    Before you travel my laptop wireless works perfectly, after traveling abroad, I tried to connect to my network wireless at home, but I can't see any wireless network.

    I have two computers at home, PC and laptop, the PC has no any problem connecting to the wireless and can see all available wireless network, while my laptop has his red X mark on its icon on the quick launch wireless and can not display any network without wire around, I have re installed the driver but still it won't work , I tried to connect my psp and portable to my wireless router just to check if the connection to the router is limited, but I was able to connect to it.

    Any idea on what I need to check or do? Thank you!

    Hi guel27,

    -have you checked if the wlan switch is in the correct position?
    -If the position is ok, check the hardware by using Device Manager. No red or yellow cross on the wlan adapter? Okay, you guys:
    -check if the network connection is not disabled in the overview of network connections
    -(droite-klick sur réseau/wlan-icon dans la systemtray et vérifiez votre connexion si elle est désactivée.)
    seing any Red Cross on your wlan conn? Okay, you guys:
    -Perhaps you have installed a wireless Internet favorite, at least you could:
    -delete all favorite connections and choose dhcp instead of a static ip address

    BTW: Be sure to use the driver for your nic corect!

  • Sudden appearance of error STOP C000021A after automatic update of Windows

    Everyone knows a sudden STOP errors after that update Microsoft has done for his actions in the background? I'm setting up a SL500 for a client who has crashed all of a sudden with a STOP C000021A error. This error number (and the minidump file) point about csrss.exe crashing. The machine is no longer usable in 'normal' mode but it does not start in "safe" mode A review of the microsoft update log file reports the accident happening right after that the update ran. Before I nuke XP and opt for a restore to factory (as well as reinstall/configuration) I would like to know if others have seen this happen recently.

    In response to my own question here: I managed to do that work again. It turns out that the automatic update is more or less malware Microsoft's "Office Genuine Advantage". Remember, once again, why people accept this type of behavior of a business entity... No, not only to accept but reward in continuing to do business with them. Something in the water maybe?

  • Service Windows wireless suddenly stopped working because of problem with the KeyIso service

    Description of the problem: Windows Wireless Services suddenly stopped working on my computer. What I have discovered so far that the problem is that the WLAN AutoConfig service does not work because of the failure of the function "KeyIso". The error message for the mentions "Error 126" KeyIso (the specified module could not be found). Any help to fix this would be appreciated. TDW

    Hello

    What is the antivirus installed on the computer program?

    KeyIso Description:

    The service provides insulation for private keys key processes and operations of such associated encryption required by the common criteria. The service stores and uses long term keys in a secure process in line with the requirements of the common criteria. It should normally be disabled, as otherwise, these cryptographic operations may fail.

    Looks like there could be a corruption with the wireless connection that you have added. You can perform the steps.

    Method 1:

    Try to manually start the wireless service, i.e. the WLAN AutoConfig service. To do this, connect to the computer as an administrator.

    a. Click Start, type services.msc and press enter.
    b. Locate the Autoconfiguration WLAN service, double-click to open its Properties window.
    c as. under the general tab, change the startup type to Automatic and click on the Start button.
    d. click on apply, then ok.

    Method 2:

    To resolve this problem, try using the tool (SFC.exe) System File Checker. To do this, follow these steps:

    How to use the System File Checker tool to fix the system files missing or corrupted on Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Method 3:

    You can uninstall and reinstall the network card and check.

    a. click Start, type Device Manager in the Start search box and press enter.
    b. locate the network adapters and expand the same.
    c. Select the Wireless connection, right click and choose Uninstall.
    d. restart the computer, if prompted.

    Drivers should settle automatically after the computer restarts.

    Now you can install the latest network card drivers and see if that fixes the problem.

  • Updates Windows 7 suddenly stopped working, stuck at updates

    Original title: Windows 7 updates

    MS has stopped supporting Windows 7? Like many others, my updates of Windows 7 suddenly stopped working last month. I do not install a new or fresh, version but simply by doing what I did every month for a long time and trying to install the latest updates. Windows Update is just to 'check updates'. I left on for more than an hour several times. I tried each 'fix' that has been suggested. Nothing has worked. So, I resorted to the Windows Update Catalog check manually and I noticed that there were no new updates of Windows 7 security for may 2016. Why?

    If all updates appeared and installed then reset the update system is a good idea.

    I prefer this small utility

    Use Option 2 on the list after right click and select run as administrator

    https://Gallery.technet.Microsoft.com/scriptcenter/reset-Windows-Update-Agent-d824badc

    Download in your downloads folder

    Right-click and select extract all in the downloads folder.

    Then right-click on ResetWUEng and select run as administrator

    Follow the rest of the guides messages

    Press any key to continue

    Type 2 for this Option in the list and the Enter key

    Press on y for Yes I think twice

    After that that he completed

    Type 15 for this option and the Enter key to restart the machine.

    Must they will restart in 60 seconds will save your work... Press a key to continue.

    After reboot, go to windows updates and manually check the updates shouldn't take a few minutes.

    Thank you.

    Edit - seems work correctly with my laptop not charging. However when the power adapter is in charge of the laptop, it work for 10 minutes then stop.

    Hello!

    If you use Windows Vista, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can find it in the Vista power management options. Check it!

    In addition, you should try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online downloads support & -online Download Driver

    Last but not least, I would recommend that you read hundreds of discussions on the problems of WIFI. You will find so much tips and tricks how to increase the WLAN functionality and troubleshooting.

  • Some keys stop working after the update of the Sierra (only for a specific profile)

    After update to Sierra my keyboard worked well for a while.  But at random, U I O P J K L keys stopped working.

    The bug only shows 1 profile. If I create another profile new profile keyboard works very well.

    Anyone know what that sometimes caused that and with the fix is?

    Hello ExcelsiorPath,

    After reviewing your post, it seems that several keys do not work on a single profile. This looks like an option that may have been changed.  I recommend you to read this article, it may be able to help solve the problem.

    If the other keys do not work

    You may have accidentally set an option that changes your keyboard works.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click keyboard. Make sure that slow keys is turned off. If slow keys is enabled, you will need to keep a key longer than usually before it is recognized.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click mouse and Trackpad. Make sure that the mouse keys is turned off. If the mouse keys is enabled, pressing the keys in the numeric keypad moves the pointer instead of entering the numbers.

    • Choose the Apple menu > System Preferences, click keyboard, and then click input methods. Select "Show the menu in the menu bar." Open the menu entry, then make sure that the correct keyboard layout is selected.

      To display the keyboard layout, click keyboard, and then choose "See the viewers for emoji keyboard symbols in the menu bar."
