  There is no native parameter.  Is your keyboard led (if she has a) can be used, OR use a third party program if your keyboard does not have cpome with indicator software (probably it didn't it.)

  Hello

  XP SP3 is already compatible WPA2.

  Have you checked that utility without the seller wire initial is not too active?

  The card connects to open source Wireless and WPA - PSK protected?

• My Dell all-in-one 962 stopped printing all of a sudden. The error messages are that the computer cannot communicate with the printer.

  My Dell 962 All In One Printer suddenly stopped to print. I get an error message that the computer cannot communicate with the printer. The error message suggests that I unplug and plug back the power plug and the USB cable to the printer and make sure that there are no restrictions of firewall to the printer. I did what was suggested and still no printing. I have resinstaled the printer from the CD software, I got with the computer and also installed the latest driver using the software of the software upgrade wizard.

  and also installed the latest driver by using the Software Update Wizard software.

  That would not have been the best idea... but it is unlikely that the cause of your immediate problem.

  The next thread does not make much sense to me, but it describes a situation similar to what you described and the proposed solution is supposed to have worked.  Try it and see--> http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3528/t/19483019

  I suspect that what really happens is that the driver has become corrupted.  In many cases, simply reinstall the driver is not fix things; you have to clean the old corrupt driver before installing the new.  Thus, it is more likely that the part "Uninstall" the related response is what is helping rather than playing with services... but go ahead and follow these directions, just in case.  In fact, I suggest that you run under first antimalware scanners before following the tips in the above link.

  If I had not found the link above, that's what I would have suggested (whichrequires that you have Windows XP):

  Often, but not always, the symptoms you describe are caused by a corrupt print job stuck in the queue or a damaged printer driver.  However before you clean things up, on general principles, that you can download, install, update and run full scans with each of these two free programs.

  MalwareBytes AntiMalware

  SUPERAntiSpyware

  Use the free version, not the free trials of "pro" versions  Pay attention during installation uncheck any prechecked boxes that would install some additional third-party programs.

  Do not run the scans at the same time.  Each scan will take a while.  Start one and go do a non-it chore.  Once the scan is finished, leave the program to deal with anything it finds.

  Once done, you can keep or uninstall programs, or both.  If you keep SAS, I suggest to change its default setting does NOT automatically when Windows starts.

  Uninstall all software from Dell to control panel > Add / Remove programs

  Download Microsoft Fixit 50126 impression: http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9662904

  Close all running applications (anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  Run the Fixit routine.  Note: The routine Fixit has two modes, light and complete.  It will run in full mode when you check the box "Reset the spooler to print on values."  This will remove all printers, so if you have any other printer installed, I recommend running the Fixit in full mode.  If you have other printers and you do not (necessarily) want to reinstall them, run the Fixit in light mode (box unchecked).  This may work anyway.  You must restart the computer after you run in full mode; you need not restart after the Chase mode.

  After the Fixit has executed and you have restarted if necessary, make sure that the printer is disconnected from the computer and run the installation software.  You will be asked to connect the printer to a suitable place.  You can use the CD that came with the computer or download the software here (which is relatively hard to find, the claims of the main page of the 962 product support it cannot find the drivers)--> http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R89490

• To configure Group policy so that after 5 invalid logon attempts computer display an error message indicating that the account is locked out for 30 minutes

  Original title: function or Vulneralbility? [Lock Group Policy]

  Hello world

  I have Windows XP Service Pack 3 with automatic updates turned on and the protection in real time against malware.

  I use Group Policy to configure for my computer account lockout policy, indicating that the account is locked by 30 minutes after 5 invalid connection attempts. I also use the TweakUI Autologon feature. (you can ask why the account lockout is necessary when automatic login is turned on?) Hold on...). Please also note that the feature of quick change of user on my PC is off, too. (but I still use the Welcome screen)

  So, when I have already connected, press Win + L to lock my workstation. Now, I begin to grasp things at random to be used as password. So that after a few failed attempts, the system displays: "cannot open a session because your account is locked. Please contact administrator.

  However, when I entered the correct password now, the system will always connect.

  I don't know if this is a feature of Microsoft Windows or a vulneralbility.

  More information: my computer is NOT a part of a domain, it belongs to the "MSHOME" workgroup and has file and printer sharing.

  Any help is appreciated.

• Dell Inspiron 17-5748 Airplane Mode is not turned off, WiFi and BlueTooth turns off

  I may have made a mistake in believing Dell had together when I upgraded to Windows 10. I can not connect to any Bluetooth device and no WiFi at all. Laptop remains in Airplane Mode and it cannot be cut.

  I tried all the options I know to correct the problem, except to 8.1, that I can still do since I have had nothing but problems since his arrival at 10 Windows.

  If return to Windows 8.1 is a viable option, even if that would mean reinstall all my programs, I guess it's a solution.

  Worse, it is now is no longer under warranty and I'll have to pay for support. I'm hoping to find a viable solution here.

  The device in question is the map of 1704 802.11 WiFi b/g/n 2.4 mhz.

  Any help would be welcome. This Dell is barely a year.

  Uncheck allow the computer to turn off this device to save power option in Device Manager and check.

  a. click on Start and go to Control Panel, in the Panel click on the small icons to display.

  c. on the left side, you will see an option that says "change the map settings. Open it.

  d. you will have two local and wireless connections. Right-click on Wireless one, and then select Properties.

  e. now, click CONFIGURE.

  f. you will see 5 tabs, click on the last one that says "power management."

• Dell Inspiron i660s can't find any SATA after Windows Update

  This problem is still not solved - I had to take a step back and wait until I had the time.  After a Windows Update (may 2014), my Dell Inspiron i660s computer rebooted to a black screen with the error "no SATA was found.

  The "you have updates" popped up, I said 'OK' (no set to automatic).  The Dell ran W8 - had not allowed the update to 8.1 of the trial.  When updates completed, I was given an on-screen "needs to restart" and enabled - restarts, the screen was black and said that no SATA has been found.  After running diagnostics, the system is all good - except that it found no hard drive.  Dell does not have a bootable CD, but because the computer does not start again - it has no option to restore.

  I removed the unit of hard drive as suggested on the Dell site and then replaced.  Still nothing, same error. During this time, I have a SATA enclosure for the drive, I asked the origin and all my files are there and the hard drive reads just fine (I'm not yet willing to lose these files) - I could get this fatal Windows update log - can - she help?  So the hard drive is not dead - what should I do to get the computer to recognize?

  Hi PamNana

  The best would be to contact Dell regarding the same. It clearly seems to be a hardware problem.
