Connection Internet says 'Local' only and I can't access the internet at my convenience.

I'm not a computer genius, but I know that's not my wireless which is mess up and not allow me to access internet from my laptop.  If I try to access my home, or somewhere else that provides wireless internet, I always have trouble getting.  IF it connects, it shows 'Local' only and not allow me to access the internet.  It seems to do this when I am on the internet while someone else in my household is on it as well.  Which shouldn't be a problem at all.  I should be able to access the internet if someone else uses it or not.  Never had this problem until I got this new laptop with vista.  It lasts for almost a year now and I'm taking classes online and cannot deal with this problem any longer.  Please someone help me solve this ongoing problem that seems to be quite common!

  • I have 2 different accounts on the same sites. Whenever I go on this site, one of my usernames prefills the field of the United Nations, and I can't access the other account. I can't replace my pre-filled username. Ideas?

    I have 2 different accounts on the same sites. Whenever I go on this site, one of my two (always the same) identifiers pre fills in the username field and I can't access the other account. The Web site legitimately refuse my password. I can't replace my username pre-populated because the second I hit enter to open a session, the initial username is rewritten in its field. Or user names is registered by firefox anywhere in the "Tools"; Options, security, advanced, or fields from the privacy menu.

    I noticed that this Web site has installed a cookie on my computer called "_rememberme" that contains the user name plaguing me.

    This is a Web site that I have access to very sensitive and important information, and I have to have two accounts available at different times.

  • My password has expired on Windows 7 and I can't access the machine

    I have a Samsung Windows 7 Home Edition laptop. Last night, the password has expired (apparently without warning) and now I can't access the machine. I tried Safe Mode, but it returns the sign on screen. Tried to fix and had the same end result - a return to the login screen. There is only one account on the machine.

    When your password has expired then, you will be immediately prompted to enter a new password. Unless you enter a new password, Windows won't let you continue.

    No, I had not given the possibility to enter a new password. It's a stupid system to have passwords expire on home computers.

    What you say does not correspond with my own observations.

    Restart in Mode safe mode, and then log in as administrator. The password is usually empty. Now, you can reset the password for your existing account.

    When you're done, plan in advance and create, test and document a second admin account.

    To avoid that your passwords expiring, follow these steps:
    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on start.
    3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
    6. type the following command and press ENTER:

  • Server to the House Acer Aspire H341 guard give up the connection and I can't access the files.

    The server worked flawlessly for 2 years.  Now it the intermittent connection.  When I try to back up a computer on the server it the backup starts but stalls and I get an error message saying that there was a problem with the software of server connection.  I reinstalled the software of connection to server with no improvement.  Restart the server generally means I can access the files again, but it will still drop the connection.  The same problem occurs on all five connected computers.  All running Windows 7 family 64 or Windows XP.  I did have a backup successful PC in two months. I am desperate for help.  Had the server in the computer store and they could not in the absence of it.  They had to install the software of my original disks, so I wonder if it's an automatic update (including the computer store would not, by returning to the original disks).  Everyone suffers from the same issue?

    Unfortunately he wa a sign of a failure of network card.  As it was an integral part of the unit, replacement was more expensive than the original server.  So I bought a new server.  He has managed to move the hard drives on the new server.

  • My Plan paid CC think I am a trial user and I can't access the paid features. What happens to the scale of the system on the cloud, not only my desktop client. Can anyone help?

    The question, for me, is that my account shows a trial and paid account, and this is by default the trial account even if I am a customer paying in good and due form. This issue did not occur until yesterday. I've been on cats and on the phone with people in the accounts and technical support and no real solution... just going round in circles. Clues

    Things I've done so far, on the client side:

    Logged out and back in. No help.

    Force has closed each Adobe process and reconnected. No help.

    Uninstalled any related Adobe on my system and reinstalled. No help.

    Talked about 5 different and personal technical support account and my degenerate case. Still no help.


    Both community indices? I just kill my account and start a new one, but CC penalizes you to cancel the account. So I'm a little stuck.

    nolenworld, your account has been fixed. Please disconnect from the creative cloud and reconnect, it should be operational.

  • Password MS Surface has been lost/changed and now can not access the device.

    My wife recently got a tablet of Ms Surface.  Initially, she set his password and was able to use the device without problem.  However, after 2 days of used light, the device does not recognize the password and don't let her diary.  How can solve us this problem so that it can reset his password and access?

    Mario - Sorry for my delay in responding, but I need to retrieve the response that we had found.

    Surface of my wife would not accept his password and if it could not connect to use most of the suggested solutions to 'reset' a password.  We had to do a complete Factory reset by following the following steps (that I found on the Web, and successful):

    The only way to start a complete RESET without signing in Windows is to stop start Windows handle once or twice to get "Automatic Windows repair" to start, as follows:

    1. turn off the device in now the power button for 6-10 seconds

    2. press the power button to wake it up.

    3. once the Surface Logo appears, wait for the indirect "dots" approach to appear and then press and hold the power button for 6-10 seconds to turn the unit off again.

    4. Repeat step 2 & 3 until the Surface Logo appears with the words in saying "prepare auto repair.

    5 recovery Mode turns on.

    6. in the BITLOCKER screen, press "skip this drive".

    7. press on 'Advanced Options '.

    8. press on "Troubleshoot".

    9. press "reset".

    10 tap... "Just remove my files.

    11 reset process will take about 20-30 minutes - and all DATA WILL BE REMOVED FROM the DEVICE.

    When the "reset" process is complete, the OOBE/Start Up Wizard must begin and the customer can complete the installation of their Surface device.

    Please note that we have used this process because
    (1) we could not connect you to the Surface unit AND
    (2) because we had no personal data to save.  If you have any personal data that you don't want to lose, you will need to find another way to reset the Surface.

    I hope this helps.  He has worked for our situation and the Surface continued to operate perfectly since.
