CQ60-210US reformatted for Windows XP Prof, but it does not connect to the wireless network...

Long story short, I tried recently to "downgrade" my husband computer CQ60-210US laptop from Vista to XP.  I followed the very detailed guide posted here and everything seems to work great but my computer does NOT connect to my home network.  It comes as an available network, but when I try to connect it goes on to say that the network is no longer available - is yet to ask security key.  I tried to click on the connection to a neighbor to see what would happen and it seems to go further (it asks me the security key).  I can connect directly using the ethernet to the modem cable.

This laptop was initially working on my network wirelessly with Vista.  I use a CLEAR 4 G wireless modem.  The signal from the modem is good.

Can anyone help me identify the problem and propose a solution?  Everything else seems to work well.

Thank you very much!

  • Windows 7 taking a long time to connect to the wireless network

    When I try to connect to the wireless network, it takes about a minute or two.  I didn't have this problem until I updated my card wireless about a week ago.

  • My PC is connected to internet, but Firefox does not connect on the web

    For the last two days, I could not connect to any web site through Firefox. I tried various 'solutions' that seemed logical, but nothing has worked.

    My understanding of my computer / in feneral is limited so excuse me if this explanation seems too long or detailed. I do not know what information might be relevant, so I will write everything down.

    First: my wifi is definitely work, because my phone connects through to this. My PC is certainly connected to the internet that I am able to send and receive mail via Outlook, and I downloaded an album via iTunes.
    Other programs are running too thin.

    I tried to restart my computer.
    I deleted my cookies etc (just in case).
    I ran my anti-virus
    I turned off my Windows Firewall
    I re-set my Firefox

    None of this has worked. My next thought is to uninstall Firefox and re - install it... except that I don't have another browser on my PC. I used to have Chrome on my PC, but it seems to have disappeared during certain windows recent update 8.

    A friend sent me an installer of Chrome, but it did not work - and in any case, I want only Chrome so I can re - download Firefox... getting Chrome is not the solution for me!

    I THINK that Firefox no longer works after that my PC installed updates on a regular basis. By that I mean that a few days earlier, when I went to close my laptop, my only options were "install update and restart" or "install update and close.

    I use Windows 8.1. I feel like the updates must have been the problem, because the moment seems to coincide. I really need to be able to access the web then please please help! Thank you

    Hello, normally these problems are caused by a security/firewall software which does not recognize and therefore blocks the new versions of firefox. If please delete all the rules of the program for firefox to your firewall and let it detect the new version of the browser again.

  • Windows Vista not connect to the wireless network

    I read several answers to this question on the forum already, but none of the solutions with the fitting to my problem.  We live in formerly frequent power cuts, so our router resets a lot when the power comes back on.    I am able to connect to the internet through the connection, but my roommate is unable to connect, even if the connection is displayed on its networks wireless in range.  We tried resecuring the router, change security settings, connected the laptop to the router directly and changed the settings on it, all to nothing does not.  At some point tonight, I was able to connect her laptop to the network.  For the first time, Vista has offered an option "Connect to the network unsecured in any case" option, but he has not appeared since.  Any help on that would be great.  Thank you in advance!

  • My HP shows it is connected to the new router, but does not connect to the internet. How should I do?

    I have a HP G60 Notebook PC with Windows Vista Home Premium, it is about 4 years old. I recently got a new Cisco Linksys E1500 wireless router, which is connected to my home computer. My laptop shows that it is connected to the home network, but it does not connect to the internet. Other laptops in the House are able to connect to the network and to the internet. Mine seems to be the only one not working do not. Why it is not working? What should I do about it?

    I ran the network diagnostics. It is said "a problem with you network router or modem broadband could prevent an internet connection." I have disconnected these two and tried again. It did not work! I have also connected my laptop directly on the modem and it does not always connect to the internet. I tried to reset the network card. My IP settings are set to automatic.

    My internet connection was not a problem before last week (when I got a new router). What is the problem with my computer? Help, please!

    Hi Andy,.

    I checked the reported compatibility list, and the game is listed as compatible.  Work in 64-bit or 32-bit Windows 7?  I will try to reinstall the game, if you did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 recently.  If it is a new installation and does not, please visit the EA's Web site to get the latest patch for the game to see if that helps address your problem.  Let me know if you've done all that and you still have questions, and we can try something else.
