Computer Windows Vista lost Wi - Fi capacity during the night

I am running WIndows Vista on a HP Pavilion laptop.  I had no problem with the machine, Vista or my connection Wireless until this morning.  Wireless has worked until I stopped last night, but when I booted up and logged on this morning, it was gone.  When I went to the network to find out why, he had this message:

"This computer does not have an installed and configured wireless network card.

In Device Manager, it tells me my NVIDIA nForce Networking Controller "works correctly.

Someone at - it ideas?

Also - on a strange note, this help page flashes almost constantly-is that occur with anyone else?

Thank you
Paula

Hi proegge,

Some HP laptops have a switch on them to activate the wireless on and outside and they are not very obvious.  I would check that first.

You said that a help page will flash constantly?  When you are on this forum or you tell whenever you use the computer.  You see what the help page?

    Hi NoOneSpeciale,

    It is very possible that your CD may be damaged.  Is it possible to get another copy to try on your machine? Or try this copy on another machine to see if it works or not.
    Also check in control panel--> system--> for you Device Manager make sure that there is no yellow/red icon next to the CD player and it's function correctly.

    Hi mohdrafi,.

    No need to panic. If you used another registry, cleaner, we could see 2000, 3000 or 4000 even depedning errors that the registry search cleaner. Registry cleaners are so reliable that I wouldn't even recommend them. In fact you don't need a registry cleaner and, contrary to popular reports, your registry "is not" increased cleaning performance. Registry cleaners are noted for the provision of many "false positives" it makes you wonder if the registry cleaner is saying 'what the devil I know, just delete this and the other and hope everything works eventually. My advice? Forget the registry cleaning!

  • Computer Windows Vista says it is connected to the network 4. I don't know what is network 4.

    on the bottem of my screen where the icons were similar to the he mcfee icon and symbol of volume there is a picture of 2 small computer screens, and when I scroll above him, it says connected to the network 4. I don't know what network 4 is and I have never seen this before and the other day I saw him and it says connected to network 2. I would like to know if anyone can help me in this matter. What network average 4?

    original title: bottem icon

    This icon is the icon of your network. You don't say what kind of network you are using. However, I will give you an example. If you repeat your network connection or use a network USB key and plug the key to another USB socket and create a new Windows login will name each new connection 4 then 2 then 3 and so on. You can rename the connection to your liking. To rename the link to right click on the network icon in the notification bar, click Network and sharing Center, click on manage network connections, right-click your network connection icon and click Rename.

  • My computer turns on once a week automatically during the night. How can I stop this from happening? Thanks Gunter

    Hello
    I bought a used desktop computer. After setting it up again to what I had before I find the computer comes on every Saturday night at the same time. How can I stop this from happening?
    If anyone has an answer for me please give him in singles and not "computer language".
    Thank you
    Gunter

    Your best course of action would be to do a complete new installation of Windows.  Not sure how this computer has been maintained or used.  She could have anything whatsoever thereon against malware of illegal material.

    Although the automatic turn on every Saturday night is probably trivial (for example, some application checking to see if there are updates), it could be malware "phone home" with your personal information (bank accounts, passwords, etc.).

    This TechNet article provided by 'Support' engineer is not likely to be useful for you.  For Windows XP (you posted your question in a Windows XP forum), open scheduled as follows:

    Click Start > click on all programs > point to Accessories > tap System Tools > and then click scheduled tasks.

    Review each of the tasks listed to determine what they are doing.  You can then decide if you want to remove one of them.  You should consider, however, that there may be other mechanisms that cause your computer turn on as you describe.

  • Unable to power the computer on after that he was arrested during the night

    I just bought a new desktop computer Compac Persario.  I plugged it in to a surge protector and night I stopped him.  Last night, I stopped it as usual, and when I got up this morning, it lights up.  The power switch on the computer does nothing.  Nothing lights up and there is no sound from the cooling fan in the back.  All other plugged into the surge protector works, including speakers and the monitor.  If I unplug the power cord and plug back in and press the power button it turns immediately. I get a bad cord?  I had several HP computers and never had this problem.
