Help! Been using wireless on my laptop for 2 years now its stopped working.

I have my broadband with sky and have been running wireless for over 2 years with no problems at all, but now all of a sudden my laptop will not simply go wireless. If I plug the Ethernet cable it connects perfect.

Any ideas what I can do, I'm not very good with computers but will give it a bash.

Any advice greatly received.

Hello

Follow this procedure you night find the braking point. Remember that it doesn't matter now that it worked before, you have to find what the problem is now.

Most laptops have a physical switch for the wireless card. Read the manual of the computer and make sure that the wireless adapter is on.

Check the Device Manager for the wireless card valid entry.

http://www.ezlan.NET/Win7/net_dm.jpg

If there is no valid entry, remove any entry from fake and re - install the drivers for the wireless card.

Check network connections to make sure that you have a network icon/entry wireless connection, and that the properties of the icon (right-click on the icon) are correctly configured with the TCP/IPv4 protocol in the properties of network connections.

Make sure that if there is Wireless Utility a utility vendor is not running with the native Windows wireless utility.

Make sure you firewall No. preventing / blocks wireless components to join the network.

Above everything is OK and it connects to the wireless router. Log in from any computer which is, or can be connected to the router with a wire wireless, disable wireless security, make sure that the wireless streaming is enabled and try to connect with no. wireless security.

When the work turns on the Wireless security.

Note * people sometimes make mistakes in writing and retype the password for security.

Another way is to copy in the menu of the router and then paste it when asked of the wireless card.

    Hi there, I been using MacBook Air and IPad2 for awhile. Recently, I lost my MacBook Air and am interested open ICloud to check my folder/old records. Can I get directions to the opportunity to see my files in I have the cloud.

    I hope that you are not in a surprise but a MacBook Air not backup to iCloud. It can record data in iCloud drive (if you saved it specifically to this place) and can synchronize Photos, Contacts, etc to iCloud if you had set it to do. You can use any computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ to see what is stored. I hope this is good news and that it contains what you hope.

  • I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen

    I've had my laptop for a year, and it is currently running Windows 7 Professional. I recently had a problem that causes the black screen randomly with the screen turned on (I mean everything is black and I can't see a thing, but can still see the light of the LCD screen). This often happens when I open/close a window, browsers web example, the records, or even during the boot. I want to know how to solve this problem and if the upgrade to Windows 10 works for her.

    Hi Haolin,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I do not understand that the screen goes black randomly, and I'll be happy to answer your query. Let me ask you;

    • What is the brand and model of the computer?
    • Remember to no particular change in the computer before the show?
    • When was the last time it worked?

    Video card problems are the most common cause of this problem.

    Try the following troubleshooting procedures in the order. If the steps described in the first procedure does not resolve the problem, continue to the next procedure.

    Step 1: Reinstall your video driver

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click file, and then click new task (run).

    4. In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    5. Click on the Start button , go into the Device Manager in the start search box, and then, in the search results, click on the peripheral Manager.
    6. Double-click on display the cards, right click the display device, click Update driver software, and then follow the steps in the wizard that appears. You can also visit the website of the manufacturer of the computer support and install the latest available graphics cards for the same model of computer you have.

    Note: After the driver is re-installed, you may need to restart your computer to complete the installation. You may also need to adjust the resolution of the display to its previous value. For more information, see change your screen resolution.

    Step 2: Search for registry problems

    1. Right click on the bar tasks and then click Start Task Manager.

    2. Click on the processes tab, click explorer.exe, and then click end process.

    3. Click fileand then click new task (run)

      In the text box open, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    4. Click on the Start button , type regedit in the search box, and then, in the search results, click on regedit.exe.
    5. Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon

    6. Click to select the WinLogon key and then in the right pane, click on Shell. The value of shell in the data column must be explorer.exe. If the value of Shell is not explorer.exe, double-click Shell, and then, in the value data text box, type explorer.exe, and then click OK.

    7. Close the registry editor and restart your PC.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click on the number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

    If this procedure resolves the issue, you are finished. If this is not the case, proceed to the next set of steps.

    Step 3: Start the computer in safe mode and run system restore

    1. Click on the Start button , click the arrow next to Shut Down, and then click restart.
    2. Do one of the following:

      • If your computer has a single operating system installed, press and hold the F8 key as your computer restarts. You need to press F8 before the Windows logo appears. If the Windows logo appears, try again by waiting until the Windows logon prompt appears, and then stop and restart your computer.

      • If your computer has more than one operating system, use the arrow keys to select the operating system you want to start in safe mode, and then press F8.

    3. In the Advanced Boot Options screen, use the arrow keys to select Safe Mode, and then press enter.

    4. Log your computer with a user account with administrator rights. When your computer is in safe mode, you will see marked Safe Mode in the corners of your screen.

    5. Click on the Start button , type "System Restore" in the search box, click System Restore, and then click Next. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    6. Choose a restore point when your PC worked as expected, click Next, and then click Finish.

    7. Restart your computer normally.

    Important: When you use system restore to restore the computer to a previous state, the programs and updates that you have installed after this date are deleted.

    If these steps resolve the issue, you are finished. If not, try to repeat the steps and chooses an older restore point (if available). If that does not resolve the problem, contact your computer manufacturer or the technical support for further assistance.

  • Cannot print the financial dashboard on message of 64 bit windows 7 host computer driver print for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Original title: Windows 7 print driver host for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Hello

    In my company, we have a Windows 7 (Professional 64 - bit) computer with installed on financial Edge(32-bit). We have been able to print from this fine machine, but recently we changed a printer of Conan for a Dell 2150cn Color Laser Printer (64-bit driver). Now, when we try to print from financial dashboard, we get the following error:
    Host of the print driver for 32 bit applications has stopped working

    Problem event name: APPCRASH

    Application name: splwow64.exe

    The printer is not a network printer, it is physically connected to the machine. In addition, it seems to print very well, if we are not trying to print from financial dashboard. Unfortunitly, once we try to print from financial dashboard, we cannot print from something else. In addition, financial dashboard can sometimes print (this is rare). I uninstalled and reinstalled, using the drivers that came with the CD (tried to download through the Dell website, but Windows seems to hate this driver)

    Hi IToccrra,

    1. the computer is in a domain environment?

    2. who is the provider of the financial advantage program you're talking about?

    Method 1: Try to print in clean boot

    See the following site:

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.

    Note: to set the computer back to start normally, use the step 7 in the same link.

    Method 2: Run the printer Troubleshooter

    See the following site:

    Open the printer Troubleshooter

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Open-the-Printer-troubleshooter.

    Method 3: update the printer driver

    See the following site:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly.

    The details of the error are telling us that the accident occurred when the host of the 32-bit printer driver tries to use the printer. Apparently, you are trying to print from is a 32-bit program, and is not able to use 64-bit print drivers correctly. I would also ask that you contact the vendor of the software (from when you try to print) to check the issue.
